WowAce

Is there a working version of this for WoW Forever. Might be a bit early I guees.

clicking import does nothing wit hthe data

It looks like the Retail version of this is broken. Within the CurseForge app when I have "Retail" selected, it's showing "4.0.1" for the Game Version. I do not have WoW Forever installed, nor any other classic version.

Please prevent crashes for controller support

Please note that the WoW Forever version only collects data on nodes that existed in the core game. For example, the new herb nodes in Valley of Trials (and probably elsewhere) called Wilted Peacebloom and Stunted Silverleaf are not recorded.

@wyr3d Thanks - I didn't think it was working so I deleted it. Will keep and try once I am out of the starter area

### Title:

Nodes fail to display on minimap and cannot be collected in starter micro-zones (e.g. Red Cloud Mesa / Camp Narache, Valley of Trials, Northshire)

---

### Description / Problem:

In classic/starting areas that the client treats as micro-dungeons or sub-zone maps (such as Camp Narache / Red Cloud Mesa `uiMapID = 462`, Valley of Trials `uiMapID = 461`, Northshire `uiMapID = 425`, etc.), nodes fail to appear on the minimap, and newly gathered nodes are silently dropped without being recorded into the database. As soon as the player walks out of the micro-zone into the parent zone (e.g., into Mulgore proper `uiMapID = 1412`), nodes reappear and gathering records normally again.

### Root Cause:

1. **Minimap Display Failure:**

`C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit("player")` reports the micro-map ID (e.g., `462` for Camp Narache).

Because micro maps lack standalone world position bounds in `HereBeDragons` (`mapData[uiMapID]` has `{0, 0, 0, 0}` dimensions), calling:

```lua

local x1, y1 = GatherMate.HBD:GetZoneCoordinatesFromWorldInstance(x, y, instance, zone)

if not x1 then return end

```

returns `nil` for `x1, y1`. Consequently, `Display:UpdateMiniMap` returns immediately and purges all minimap pins. Additionally, `GatherMate.phasing` was empty, so there was no translation from the micro-zone to the parent zone (`1412`).

2. **Collector Silent Drop:**

In `Collector:addItem`:

```lua

local x, y, zone = GatherMate.HBD:GetPlayerZonePosition()

if not x or not y then return end -- fails here!

```

`HBD:GetPlayerZonePosition()` fails to compute local coordinates on micro-maps and returns `nil`, causing `Collector:addItem` to abort before reaching `GatherMate.phasing[zone]`. Gathered herbs and ore in these starter areas are never added to the database.

---

### Suggested Fix:

1. **Populate `GatherMate.phasing` with classic starter micro-zones and dynamic parent fallback in `Constants.lua`:**

```lua

local map_phasing = {

[462] = 1412, -- Camp Narache / Red Cloud Mesa -> Mulgore

[461] = 1411, -- Valley of Trials -> Durotar

[463] = 1411, -- Echo Isles -> Durotar

[464] = 1411, -- Echo Isles -> Durotar

[460] = 1438, -- Shadowglen -> Teldrassil

[465] = 1420, -- Deathknell -> Tirisfal Glades

[466] = 1420, -- Deathknell -> Tirisfal Glades

[425] = 1429, -- Northshire -> Elwynn Forest

[426] = 1429, -- Northshire -> Elwynn Forest

[427] = 1426, -- Coldridge Valley -> Dun Morogh

[428] = 1426, -- Coldridge Valley -> Dun Morogh

[469] = 1426, -- New Tinkertown -> Dun Morogh

[470] = 1426, -- New Tinkertown -> Dun Morogh

[467] = 94, -- Sunstrider Isle -> Eversong Woods

[468] = 97, -- Ammen Vale -> Azuremyst Isle

}

setmetatable(map_phasing, {

__index = function(t, mapID)

if not mapID or mapID == 0 then return nil end

local mapInfo = C_Map and C_Map.GetMapInfo and C_Map.GetMapInfo(mapID)

if mapInfo and mapInfo.parentMapID and mapInfo.parentMapID > 0 then

if mapInfo.mapType == Enum.UIMapType.Micro or mapInfo.mapType == Enum.UIMapType.Orphan then

rawset(t, mapID, mapInfo.parentMapID)

return mapInfo.parentMapID

end

end

return nil

end

})

GatherMate.phasing = map_phasing

```

2. **Add parent zone fallback in `Collector:addItem` (`Collector.lua`):**

```lua

function Collector:addItem(skill, what)

local x, y, zone = GatherMate.HBD:GetPlayerZonePosition()

if not x or not y then

local curZone = GatherMate.HBD:GetPlayerZone()

local pZone = curZone and GatherMate.phasing[curZone]

if pZone then

local wx, wy, wInstance = GatherMate.HBD:GetPlayerWorldPosition()

if wx and wy and wInstance then

x, y = GatherMate.HBD:GetZoneCoordinatesFromWorldInstance(wx, wy, wInstance, pZone)

if x and y then

zone = pZone

end

end

end

end

if not x or not y then return end -- no valid data

...

```

3. **Use the phased/parent zone in `Display:UpdateMiniMap` (`Display.lua`):**

```lua

local activeZone = GatherMate.phasing[zone] or zone

local x1, y1 = GatherMate.HBD:GetZoneCoordinatesFromWorldInstance(x, y, instance, activeZone)

if not x1 then return end

...

for coord, nodeID in GatherMate:FindNearbyNode(activeZone, x1, y1, db_type, mapRadius * nodeRange) do

local pin = self:getMiniPin(coord, nodeID, db_type, activeZone, (i * 1e14) + coord)

```

4. *(Optional / Library-level)* **Add parent fallback in `HereBeDragons-2.0.lua:GetPlayerZonePosition`:**

When coordinate translation on `currentPlayerUIMapID` returns `nil` and `mapData[currentPlayerUIMapID].parent` exists, fall back to calculating coordinates on the parent map.

```

anyone managed to import wowhead databse? for me there is not even a selection menu for which database to import, i click on import and nothing happens

A simple solution to the problem.

Go to the folder: World of Warcraft\_classic_beta_\Interface\AddOns\GatherMate2\Locales. Find the file named GatherMate2-enUS.lua (if you are using the English client).

Locate line 122 in the code, which reads: "L["Icon alpha value, this lets you change the transparency of the icons. Only applies on World Map."] = true".

Immediately below it, add a new line: "L["Icon alpha value, this lets you change the transparency of the icons. Only applies on Minimap."] = true"

Save the file, reload the game, and you're all set! :)

Minimap Icon

For those of us getting the AceLocale-3.0 Missing "Icon alpha value" you can safley roll back to version "1.52.3-8-g26d58dd" with no errors until this is fixed. Note if your using the curseforge app set the "install settings" to "Ignored", but check the versions tab periodically for updates. I've reported the error in the Issues tab AceLocale-3.0 error thread.

Gathermate caused the game to crash and I got a message that gathermate was blocked by blizzard ui and then the game froze. I am also using controller forever, buggrabber, & bugsac

Same error here

Can you plaese make it so when I delete that addon, it also deltes the database. My map it overcrowded, I cant see shit on it

Forever tracking distancer is 185, not the default of 100. it's more like 183, but the addon rounds it to 185. Othewise it will obstruct the node. Addon settings > Minimap > Tracking distance
