About QQ Waypoints

Waypoint Editor

QQ Waypoints is a custom waypoint manager which allows you to create edit and view custom waypoints on the map.

Dependancies:
- LibSlash (http://war.curse.com/downloads/war-addons/details/libslash.aspx)
- LibSync (http://war.curse.com/downloads/war-addons/details/libsync.aspx)
- LibCereal (http://war.curse.com/downloads/war-addons/details/libcereal.aspx)

Usage:

On the world map (press 'm' to open), there is a new "Waypoints" button next to the close button (top right corner). Click on this to open/close the waypoint editor at any time.

You can shift click on the map to add a new waypoint

You can also click on "Show" on the bottom left area of the map
- With Manual Coords: It will show a marker on the map at the position specified, if it is valid
- Without Manual Coords: It will show a marker on the map near the center.

This marker is mouse movable dragging it around will get you the right world coords. Right click to get a context menu that lets you convert it to a waypoint.

Waypoints can be removed by right-clicking them either on the map or in the editor and selecting remove.

You can also change zone via the drop-down menu the waypoint editor.

Please bear in mind, this is a BETA Release, no promises whatsoever =)

New:
Sharing: Right click on a waypoint and click share to share it =)
Tooltip sizing should be fized
Localization (I still need help, there are 5 new entries that need to be done for german and spanish as well)
Moved coordinate entry to bottom right to manage issues with clear button
slash command: /wp w(x, y) or /wp z(x, y) will add waypoints.
these are in world or zone only (not the coords visible on the map itself when you mouse around)
tons of refactoring for future changes
clicking on a selected waypoint will now close the editor and unselect the waypoint.

Road Map:
(in no particular order, those items with a * are scheduled for next release)

Better button/marker textures?
*Change the minimize button to a close button
*French Localization
*Improved slash commands for waypoint additions
Moving to zone coords for entry
Support for simple coordinates by configuration
Coordinate validation on entry
Waypoint categorization
Temporary Waypoints

3 Directory Structure

Installation Guide

Exit "Warhammer Online" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
Verify your WAR Installation Path
That is where you are running WAR from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your Warhammer Online folder. (default is C:\Program Files\Warhammer Online\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start Warhammer Online

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of WAR. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

The waypoints stuff broke today, and after quite a bit of installing/uninstall, etc I tracked down the problem to a change in LibCereal. To make qq waypoints work with LibCereal, the mod file needs to have its dependency changed to LibCereal-1.0.

Hey Lefi,

How does w(x,y) relate to z(x,y)? Or more directly, how would one take someone's simple z(x,y) notes and be able to enter them manually into Waypoints\SavedVariables.lua?

Ooh, can you integrate with Tome Titan to add a waypoint from inside Tome Titan? Look up an unlock; hit "Waypoint" and it appears on the map. That would be incredibly useful.

And/or, how about using Tome Titan to parse all the coordinates for a zone and auto create all the waypoints for the zone at once? Mmmmmmmm

Can you implement directional arrows like WoW mod had that activly point the way to the waypoint in the HUD? To me, static waypoints are more like mapnotes, not that I don't love what you have so far.

Can you add auto-guildmember lookup, like zMailMod has?

LOVE that you can switch zones to drop notes on the fly. Thanks!

Is there any way to add a way to save marks without exiting the game? There's nothing like marking a bunch of unlocks and then getting a CTD and losing them all.

reloading the ui (/reloadui) will save the variable.

When the list is longer than the space in the window, the list extends past the window instead of scrolling.

Correction, it does scroll, but the visible text is longer than the window.

Thank Julio, I already have french ready to go in the next release though =).

If it's Luuse's translation, some words don't fit for MAP_COORDS_* and i have translated the SLASH_SYNTAX.

Julio13090 said

You can download a working french traslation here : http://julio13090.free.fr/localization.fr-FR.lua

You must add this line name="Localizations\localization.fr-FR.lua" / in the Waypoints.mod or for version r12 download here http://julio13090.free.fr/Waypoints.mod

@Lefi add it to the next release if you want.

Thanks for updating this so fast! So, did you end up integrating the "simple" X,Y style into the in-game slash command or is it still the 5-to-6-digit style of coords that we need to enter? If the latter, are you thinking about making that option available via the code presented by wilcoxon at some point?

Thanks for a great addon!

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
wilcoxon said

r12 still has the original "/wp [zw](xxx,yyy)" command that requires the full coordinates.

Lefi added me as a developer on the project so I'll be adding my code into the slash-handler (minus the LibSurveyor dependency). I should have it added tomorrow or Thursday.
