DESCRIPTION:

2

============

3

MetaMap adds features to the WoW world map, keeping all mapping type features in a single place.

4

Some features are:

5

6

Adjust the map window size.

7

Move the map anywhere on the screen.

8

Adjust the opacity of the window & maps.

9

Saved sets for toggling between 2 map modes.

10

Allows full player movement, messaging, etc. with map open.

11

Adds coords to the main map and the Minimap

12

Adds Instance maps which open to the correct instance you enter.

13

Default data included for all bosses & locations etc.

14

User editable notes for all maps, including instance maps.

15

NPC/Mob database collectable by mouseover or keypress.

16

Toggling on/off display of unexplored areas of the map.

17

Boss Loot Tables displays all the loot dropped by bosses, and more.

18

Waypoint system to guide you to any set point.

19

Inbuilt Import and export facilities for various data formats.

20

Inbuilt Backup and Restore facilities.

21

Button on Minimap to open or close the World Map or display MetaMap options.

22

Key bindings for various MetaMap functions.

23

Full support for Titan Bar.

INSTALLATION:

=============

Extract ALL folders in the archive to the Interface\AddOns\ location.

28

If you wish the Instance maps to be populated with default information,

29

then on first installation you will need to select 'Extended Options' from the MetaMap menu.

30

Select the 'Imports' tab, then click 'Load Imports'. This will enable the two default

31

import buttons, 'Import Instance Notes' and 'Import BLT data'. Click on the import button

32

for each to import the data. Future updates to these files will require the same procedure.

33

34

ISSUES/COMPATIBILITIES:

35

=======================

36

Some addons may reset the map to gather location data.

37

If your map continuously jumps back to your current location when selecting another map,

38

it will be due to another addon resetting it. In most cases the authors have made changes

39

to correct this so, download the latest version of any conflicting addon.

*******************************************************************************

83

MAIN MAP

84

*******************************************************************************

85

The additions to the main WoW WorldMap were intended to fit in as smoothly as

86

possible, keeping the overall format the same. It adds not only Instance maps,

87

but also extends user editable notes to the Instance maps.

88

89

Options Menu: (also available in context from the Minimap button and TitanBar)

90

Menu on Click: Menu is displayed by clicking the button or on mouse-over.

91

Wrap ToolTip: Will wrap tooltip displays to WoW defined limit.

92

93

Show MiniMap Coords: Toggles the display of coords on the MiniMap.

94

Notes Filter: Shows a Submenu which allows you to filter out notes on the map.

95

Allow clicks through map: Sets map to a passive mode to allow all

96

mouse action through the map. Setting stored for each Saveset.

97

104

Create notes with MapMod: New note creation is done with CT_MapMod rather than

105

MetaMap's internal note creation. Both live quite happily with each

106

other so, you can toggle between them at any time.

107

Knowledge Base: Displays the KB database window.

108

Show Unexplored Areas: Toggles the display of unexplored areas on the map.

109

110

111

Shift+LeftClick on Minimap coords will insert location details into open message box.

112

CTRL+LeftClick on Minimap coords will cycle through setable text colours.

113

Left button down to drag Minimap coords display to anywhere on the screen.

114

115

Map List:

116

Left Clicking an item in the list will ping the location on the map.

117

Right Clicking an item in the list will show the notes edit box.

118

CTRL+Click an item in the list on an instance map will show the bossloot table.

119

120

Keybindings set in the system keybindings section allow quick key toggles for:

121

Toggling the WorldMap.

122

Switching between the 2 Map modes.

123

Toggling Fullscreen setting.

124

128

129

130

*******************************************************************************

131

KNOWLEDGE BASE

132

*******************************************************************************

133

This database stores the name, description and location of all the NPCs/mobs you

134

mouse over. The location is stored as a range to allow for movement or various

135

spawn points. The range is updated every time you find the NPC in a different

136

location. The database is global - all your characters on the same

137

computer and account can access it.

138

139

The Auto tracking on mouse-over will only add information from NPC/MOB targets.

140

Would get pretty cluttered otherwise. However, there is also a 'manual' mode

141

via a Keybinding set in the system keybinding section. This method will also

142

allow a targeted Player unit to be added to the database.

143

144

You can create Notes when you need them (i.e. hunting a particular mob

145

or looking for a particular NPC) and then when things start to get cluttered

146

you can remove the notes for a particular NPC/mob or all from the QuickMenu.

147

148

LeftClicking on an item in the main KB window will pop up the QuickMenu with various

149

options. RightClick gives the option to set the item as a Waypoint.

150

151

152

*******************************************************************************

153

MAP NOTES

154

*******************************************************************************

155

Adds a note system to the WorldMap helping you keep track of interesting

156

locations. This offers two main functions:

157

158

1. Marking notes on the WorldMap.

159

2. Showing one of these notes on the MiniMap as a MiniNote.

160

161

Map functions:

162

CTRL+LeftClick: On the WorldMap opens the note creator menu.

163

LeftClick: On a note opens the note editor menu.

164

RightClick on a note gives the option to set the note as a Waypoint.

165

Shift+LeftClick on a note will insert details into open message box.

166

CTRL+LeftClick brings up the Boss Loot Table (MetaMapBLT)

167

Mouse-over: On a Note to see the tooltip with the information you entered.

168

169

[Edit Menu]

170

With this menu you can create new notes and edit existing notes.

171

172

1. Select the icon style you want to use for your note.

173

2. Title: Enter it in the editbox and select a color in which it will be

174

displayed in the tooltip.

175

NOTE: The title field is mandatory, you cannot create a note without

176

a title - to prevent this the "Save" button is disabled when

177

the title field is empty.

178

3. Infoline 1 and 2: Here you can insert additional information for your

179

note and color it in one of the colors below the editbox.

180

4. Creator: Enter the name of the player or AddOn that created the note

181

182

[The MiniNote]

183

A MiniNote is a note placed on the MiniMap. Moving the mouse over the

184

MiniNote shows the details of the note.

185

To show one of your notes on the MiniMap go to the Worldmap, left click on

186

a note and choose "Set As MiniNote".

187

To hide the note on the MiniMap, you can go to the WorldMap, left click and

188

choose "Turn MiniNote Off".

189

190

The MiniNote is turned off if the MapNote corresponding to it is deleted.

191

192

[Send Notes To Other Players]

193

After clicking "Send Note" in the notes Menu the Send Menu will show up.

194

195

1. Enter the name of the player you want to send a note to

196

NOTE: Targeting the player before opening the WorldMap will auto

insert the name.

2. Send To Player

Choose this option to send the note to the player entered above.

201

202

3. Send To Party (requires Sky)

203

This will send the note to the entire party. (No player name needs to

be filled in.)

4. Change Mode

This toggles between Send To Player/Send To Party and Get Slash Command

208

209

5. Get Slash Command

210

Inserts a slash command in the editbox which can be highlighted and then

211

copied to the clipboard. After this you can post it on a forum or in chat

212

and other MetaMap or MapNotes users can insert this note by copying the

213

slash command to the chatline.

[Slash Commands]

/nextmininote [on|off], /nmn [on|off]

218

Shows the next note created (using any method) as a MiniNote and also puts

219

it on the WorldMap. If invoked with no parameters, it will toggle the

220

current state.

221

222

/nextmininoteonly [on|off], /nmno [on|off]

223

Like the previous command, but doesn't put the note on the WorldMap.

224

225

/mininoteoff, /mno

226

Turns the MiniNote off.

227

228

/quicknote [m] [xx,yy] [name], /qnote [m] [xx,yy] [name]

229

Sets a note on the map in your current zone.

230

The optional [m] parameter will set a mode for the note.

231

1 = Set as Note + Mininote

232

2 = Set as Mininote only

233

3 = Set as a vNote (Virtual Note)

234

No parameter or any other number for [m] will set as map note only.

235

Coords and name are also optional.

236

If no coords are entered, note is set at your current location.

237

238

239

*******************************************************************************

240

WAYPOINTS SYSTEM

241

*******************************************************************************

242

MetaMapBWP module adds a Waypoint system to MetaMap. A Waypoint arrow is displayed,

243

showing the direction of the point set.

244

245

USAGE:

246

A waypoint can be set by a number of methods:

247

248

1. Select a preset map note from the dropdown list displayed when clicking 'Set a Waypoint'

249

on the main MetaMap menu.

250

2. RightClick on any map note on the map.

251

3. RightClick on any entry in the MetaMap KB display.

252

4. By typing '/bwp xx,yy name' on the command line.

253

254

Both commandline parameters are optional. Results are as follows:

255

Coords only: Sets a Waypoint at specified location with default name of "QuickLoc".

256

Coords + Name: Sets a Waypoint at specified location with specified name.

257

No parameters: Sets a Waypoint at current location with default name of "QuickLoc".

258

Name only: Sets a Waypoint at current location with specified name.

259

260

The last two are useful if you need to mark your current location so you can easily

261

return to it at a later time. Note that you will need to turn off the

262

'Clear Waypoint on arrival' option for this to prevent it from being cleared.

263

264

The dropdown options menu can be accessed either by selecting 'Options' from the

265

preset Waypoints list, or by clicking on the main Waypoint display.

266

267

The Waypoints display can also be moved to any location on the screen by using the

268

RightButton down to drag it.

269

270

271

DATA IMPORTS/EXPORTS

273

*******************************************************************************

274

MetaMap will import data for MapNotes, WoWKB, User saved notes, default Instance data,

275

User File: MetaMapEXP.lua Provided by another user, from download, or created by User export.

283

InstanceData: Included as standard in the MetaMapCVT folder.

284

BLT: Default data included for import as standard. This will additionally import

285

AtlasLoot data should the need ever arise. Place the 'localization.en.lua'

286

and 'localization.bg.en.lua' from AtlasLoot into the MetaMapCVT folder to import.

287

288

To import any data, click the 'Load Import Module' button after selecting the 'Import'

289

tab on the Extended Options Menu. This will load the required routines and data

290

files. Then select the import option required.

291

292

For those wishing to export data to other users, simply click on the 'Export User File'

293

option in the Imports section. Either KB data or Notes data, or both can be exported.

294

This will create a file in the SavedVariables folder called 'MetaMapEXP.lua'.

295

Any MetaMap user can then place this file in their MetaMapCVT folder, ready for import.
