Look up the word: donate

There is no contract between you and the developer because the three [principal (necessary)] elements of a contract are not satisfied.  There is no offer, consideration (remuneration), nor acceptance.  If you DONATE, you offer gratuity; that is, you extend your appreciation.

Finally, the only self-righteousness on display, Floppyjo, originates from you.

I'm sorry you (and others so thoroughly annoyed) are filled with angst and a lack of understanding surrounding "data availability" and the "data maturity" process.

There is nothing compelling anyone to use any ADDON.

For others with constitutional lack of gratitude... don't donate -- EVER -- you harm yourself and others with your clinging, grasping, attachment, and delusional expectations.

However, if you appreciate the actions of others -- by all means -- demonstrate that appreciation liberally.

You keep using this word "donation."  I do not think it means what you think it does.

Still, whatever you think or want to believe or just your opinion. It's kinda rude and shows lack of education (at home etc).

IMHO Katsutomai is 100% right.

Most if not all addon makers / authors do it because they like the game and want others to enjoy it to.

You do know that making donations doesn't give you more rights than others, do you?  Only if you did buy the addon from the makers and support for it, than yes you would indeed have the right to complain.

These guys accept donations so they can test the addons more and/or better, they also have to pay bills. Like internet and account. While you are in the pub or hanging in front of your tv or running away for the cops, they are sitting at their pc trying to write addons that enhance their and our gaming sensation / fun.

a donation is also a way of saying thank you for this great program etc etc.

Last Gathermate2 only shows current stuff, that it sees on the map, in range.

In the database (Gathermate2_data) all the nodes you find will be stored there, but people (including you) still have to send the data to the makers and share it with others.

That way the database will be updated faster, more correct and stay up to date and thus you will see the correct data on the right locations on the maps.

So building the database is their job, Filling the database is our job (= the users of it).

When someone finds ore or flowers that's not in the database it will show up on your map the next time you open it on that char, but also on your other chars.

But when you don't upload it to the community database, when you download the new database, the same flowers or ore won't show up anymore.... until you farm them again. 

But when you did upload it... than, with the next update of gathermate2_data, it will show up for everybody (!) who uses the latest version.

Do you understand now how this works?

And do what you want with your $10 bills, I don't care, not even if you used $100 bills to wipe your a*s with.  :P

Agree if you make something for free or for money you should keep updating if not atleast put out a message saying no more updates are coming or something so people know "oh i will not need this on curse/wow as an addon since its useless now" So @Katsutomai u are being a rude git about it while @smtips is speaking facts and REALITY. Update or delete since it is considered "junk" if not updated.

Any chance for an update?

will this be updated ?

Eventually, sure. In the meantime you can try editing the .toc file to read 70000 instead of 60200 and it the game will stop bothering you about out-of-date add-ons. This won't add new data though 

I did what you suggested with the 70000.  Worked.  The prob Im having with Gathermate2/Gathermate2_Data is that the icons dont stay on my mini map or world map.  I've tried re-importing them and still no icons.  The only icons that show and stay are from nodes I find myself.

I can't seem to replicate this problem. Imported node icons stay on the world map without issue. I don't use the mini-map icons, since  the in-game tracker works better for this.

What do you mean by the icon's don't stay? The data should be imported to your character folder (C:<path>/World of Warcraft/WTF/<account>/<character name>) so I don't see how this can happen. Perhaps you have another map based add-on that's causing a conflict?

Went to Wowhead and extracted the data for all WoD fishing schools from it. Bit late now I know, but it might help someone.

Go to ../WoW Folder/Interface/AddOns/GatherMate2_Data/FishData.lua and put this into the bottom of the file, above the last closing curly brace.

You are a godsend.. i was looking for exactly this  :3

Would you perhaps also know how to make it that the icons are more visisble? a black outline around the fishing icons would help alot. (Since the lava fish have the same color as the lava they spawn in >,< )

Any love for Mac people who can't get it to work via Curse? How do I get the data imported? Currently I have gathermate working, but I don't have any nodes. Any advice would be helpful. I've tried the import command, but that's not working because I don't know from what location I'm importing. 

I wanted to add in the nodes from wowhead for some of the respawnable treasure chests around Tanaan Jungle and did some tinkering with the lua files and was able to get it working. Since the addon hasn't been updated in a while I thought I would share my notes for anyone else who needs a manual update and is comfortable backing up their data and tinkering with the lua files.

When you open up one of the data lua files in the gathermate2_data addon folder, you will see something like this:

GatherMateData2TreasureDB= {

    [37] = {

        [2500422000] = 501,

        [2510438000] = 501,

        ....

    },

    ....

}

To build your own entries to add to these files, you just need to know what the numbers mean and how to figure out how to convert your data into this format.

The first number we see is [37] this corresponds to the "areaid" within wow (not the same number as zoneid, so you can't use what you see on wowhead. The quickest way I found to figure out what areaid you want is to go to that zone, then type into chat (with no quotes)

    "/dump GetCurrentMapAreaID()"

You might be able to find some lists of all areaid's on the internet, but I couldn't find anything for the new zones, however, you're probably mostly interested in adding nodes to only a few particular zones, so you can just fly to that zone (for example I was adding Tanaan Jungle) grab the areaid (Tanaan Jungle = 945) and then skip to the section of the lua file dealing with your areaid, or add a new section if one doesn't exist already.

Next number we see is [2500422000], which these are coordinates in the format XX.xx + YY.yy + 2 trailing zeroes (not sure what the 2 trailing zeroes are for, but they're always there.) Note that both the x and y coordinate need to be padded with leading and trailing zeroes if they don't fill up the full 4 digits.  So for example:

    Coordinates of 32.6 , 9.25 would give a result of [3260092500]

    Coordinates of 18 , 42.3 would give a result of [1800423000]

The final number we see is the item or node id. This is a custom number assigned by gathermate2. To figure out what node id you want, go into the gathermate2 addon folder and open the Constants.lua and you will find mappings broken out into sections for each of the types of gathering (fishing, herbalism, mining, etc.) for all the items/objects to their gathermate2 node ids. For example you might find in the treasure section:

    [NL["Giant Clam"]] = 501,

From here, you can go to wowhead, find the nodes you want to import. I found that a lot of times someone had typed out a nice tomtom waypoint list which I could easily convert to import all the locations for radiating apexis shards in tanaan for example, but worst case scenario you'll have to type out the entries manually.

You definitely want to back up both the data and lua files before making any changes because if you have the wrong number somewhere you could easily add tons of bad data to your maps. You may also want to make backups of any customization you do so your files don't accidentally get overridden if a new update comes out.

Good luck to any fellow tinkerers out there, and thanks to the creator and everyone who has contributed to this cool addon. Hoping updates start back up soon.

Thanks very much for posting to let everyone know what's happening. Good to know that you will be resuming updates "in a few weeks", in the meantime I hope your move goes smoothly, although moving always seems to be anything but smooth! ;)

looking forward to the updates, thanks for letting us know!

What's happened to the weekly updates? The last update was on 13th December 2015 which was 10 weeks ago! Guessing the author (kagaro) is busy with real life and isn't getting time to update addons etc.

I recently updated Gathermate 2 Data and went to find all the treasures I had not got allready, but it includes an alliance treasure in Shadowmoon Valley that is unattainable for me as a horde player - Is there any way to edit out the treasure listing in the LUA file - and if so how do you tell which is the entry that you want to edit? It points to this treasure no matter where I am in Draenor,( Frostfire Ridge, Ashran, wherever).
