Cartographer Routes

From WowAce Wiki

Cartographer_Routes is a module for Cartographer (Rock version). It will allow you to draw lines (routes) along preselected gather-node configurations on a particular worldmap. The route will by default be shown on the minimap and battlemap as well.

NOTE: This add-on is considered deprecated; please use the [Routes] add-on instead.

Features

• Select nodes-types to build a line upon (Only Fishing/Mining/Herbalism nodes (Cartographer modules as well))
• Auto extending a route with newly gathered nodes
• Optimize your route using the traveling salesmen problem (TSP) ant colony optimization (ACO)
• Background (nonblocking) and foreground (blocking) optimization
• Select color/thickness/transparancy/visibility for each route
• For any route created finding a new node will try to add that as optimal as possible

Using it in a nutshell

• Install the addon
• Open the worldmap and press the Cartographer button
• Open the 'Routes' entry in the left tree and go to the 'Add' screen.
• Enter your route name
• Select the nodes you want on this route (if you see nothing make sure Cartographer_Herbalism, Cartographer_Fishing, Cartographer_Mining are loaded and have nodes in this zone)
• Add the route. (This will jump the config screen directly to the route you created)

Now you can alter the color+alpha/width if you like.

Todo

• Draw minimapshape on worldmap (support rotation)
• Waypoint arrow (TBD)
• Optimize on creation of route
• Support Cartographer1 (TBD)
• More localizations (feel free to help!)
