HandyNotes
Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple replacement for Cartographer_Notes and functions in a similar manner.
Use /handynotes to access options.
You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:
- Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
- Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
- Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.
HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.wowace.com/search?search=handynotes
Changes for WoW 8.0 / Battle for Azeroth
- Changed to HereBeDragons-2.0, since HBD-1.0 is not compatible with WoW 8.0 / BfA
- All plugins that reference HereBeDragons directly need to adjust as well
- Due to the massive changes in the map and all related logic, HandyNotes 1.5.0 will introduce changes to the Plugin API as well. Changes listed below are preliminary, however they are available in the latest Alpha builds if running on the BfA Beta.
- Removed API: HN:GetMapFile(C, Z), HN:GetCZ(mapFile), HN:GetZoneToCZ(zone), HN:GetCZToZone(C,Z)
- Rationale: C/Z values no longer exist in WoW 8.0
- Removed API: HN:GetZoneToMapID(zone)
- Rationale: Using localized zone names is generally a bad idea, and the old MapIDs no longer exist
- Deprecated API: HN:GetMapFiletoMapID(mapFile), HN:GetMapIDtoMapFile(mapID),
- These have been deprecated and will be removed in the future, but are still provided for compatiblity with existing plugins (data is no longer available in-game, mapping provided by HereBeDragons-Migrate)
- Changed API: HN:GetContinentZoneList(uiMapIdOrmapFile)
- This API can now be called with either a mapFile (legacy mode), in which case it'll continue to return a list of legacy mapIDs for old plugins, or called with a new uiMapID, in which case it'll return a list of uiMapIDs
- New API: plugin:GetNodes2(uiMapID, minimap)
- This is equivalent to the old GetNodes call, except that it handles the new uiMapID type.
- The Iterator should return:
- coord, uiMapID, iconpath, scale, alpha
- Mapfile was replaced by uiMapID, level has been dropped
- The old plugin:GetNodes API is still available and the data is automatically converted, if a conversion is possible. It is strongly recommended to switch to GetNodes2, so you can support new zones!
- Removed API: HN:GetMapFile(C, Z), HN:GetCZ(mapFile), HN:GetZoneToCZ(zone), HN:GetCZToZone(C,Z)
Changes from v1.2.0 to v1.4.0
- HandyNotes now uses HereBeDragons-1.0 instead of the unmaintained Astrolabe
- Plugins which referenced Astrolabe directly should be updated, and ideally not require anything the HandyNotes API does not provide
- New HandyNotes API function: HN:GetContinentZoneList(mapFile), retrieve a list of zones inside a continent (Z -> mapID hash table)
Looks like ElvUI coordinates are broken. Nevermind.
None of my HandyNotes plugins are working since patch. :( Any updates?
who do i make a reset for? i would like to see a handy notes tro show all the pet battles in both Naz and Mech on the map if possible
It works with smaller map-the one with quests listed-doesn't work when you enlarge it you have to type the /hnnew
Same here
Same
Alt right click doesn't work.
Hello,
When I enter in a cave, I see on minimap or map all the marks of the world map outside. So I can't see anything else but icon on my map...
In reply to Weddyidp:
disable the addon for a small time
Hey,
i have a module for HandyNotes that show some notes / small icons on WorldMap that collide with Blizzard default icons. Consequently my icons are covered behind. Is it possible to control any sort of strata or layer which would HandyNotes notes always visible?
Would be possible to include a few more icons in the addon? I have made a few of them which can be downloaded from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/oqj7c8tv5dnaxuz/gem_icons.zip?dl=0
because I wanted to mark shrines for jewelcrafters. Currently, I have just changed one of your files that is the one that has a table that stores paths to icons. I added a new content and it works but I would probably have to do it every time I update the addon :) It's a small request :p
A couple of questions:
1) Can I provide a zone name? When I am in Port of Zandalar, the coordinates are not related to the zone Zuldazar but Dazar'alor. For instance I could not add a note for Shrine of Natures (In Zuldazar) when I was in Port of Zandalar.
2) Can I list all my notes?
3) Can i remove notes using command line?
4) How to create notes that load only when a specific character is online. It feels Handynotes creates notes using global profile! How to control it. Also how to "move" notes from global to specific profile?
Thanks
why does handy notes, since the last update popps up ALL notes from a zone onto the minimap, when iam going into some underground,dungeon,or stuff like this .... ?
its like all nots from the whole area outside is displayed at the minimap and even on the zone map ( dungeon map or underground area maps )
Not sure why, but no matter what i do i can't get anything to show. I've tried reinstalling the addon multiple times. Tried turning others off and on. On the current 1.5.5 version
Is there a guide of some sorts for creating handynotes plugins?
In reply to Forge_User_58712176:
I am also interested in this!
[wishlist]
some day, have /hnnew x,y "some title" -iconx slash command to actually add the title to the tilte inside Add Handy Note window, plus it would be nice to have the icon also pre-defined...
currently, adding any title after coordinates do nothing, and with like 20 coords to add at once, it's somewhat very annoying to copy paste twice for each coordinate :( #mytwocents
Has anyone created a plugin for the new alchemist cauldrons that are out in the world? Or do you have a link to a guide to create my own?? Thanks!!
In reply to truffles:
Same question. I'd love to see a plugin for the cauldrons.
There's a list of them so far on this page:

I want all of my characters to use the same settings for various handynotes plugins.
I created a profile using the Interaface Addon section for handynotes, but as far as I can tell, none of the handynotes plugins use that setting.
Any ideas? PS: I have over 100 toons: really don't want to set it up for each one.
