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)
Something I would like to see implemented is an alteration with the custom waypoints icons. Keep the same predefined list but, perhaps add a custom option at the very bottom so the user can enter an ID to an icon.
ie: HandyNotes_Trainers is still using HBD-1.0 so it's not working for BFA so I have to create waypoints for each trainer, etc in Boralus/Dazar'alor. All the profession trainers are using the profession trainer icon but, it would be nice to be able to use the LW icon for the trainer, etc.
i keep getting this error.

I can't add notes in fullscreen map. The entry box appears behind the map and I have to close the map to see the box but I have to cursor over and press the "X" to close the map because any keyboard input is being entered into the note box that has popped up behind the map. This is quite annoying, can this please be fixed because I much prefer the fullscreen map and adding notes that way if possible.
Regarding creation of new notes...
In the description we see 3 ways to create a new note.
For some reason, the first way does not work for me.
Two other ways work, but they do not allow to create a new note in a non-current zone map.
Can we have a command line way to create a new note in arbitrary zone without going there to make it current?
Got this error today... why would Handy Notes need to call a guild function?

Can i make a feature request? Some kind of 'proximity alert' to note would be nice. Let's say i added a note saying "keep away, here be dragons" (or "remember to kill boss X before boss Y"), i would like to see it on main screen, instead of having to look at the map.
Alternatively, showing all notes from current map on main screen would be helpful.
Is there an Island Expeditions Rare finder?
NVM
Getting the same as the others,
Handy Notes v1.5.3
Error appears to happen at random when opening or closing minimap, I caught this with BugStack and Bug Bag
There is sth wrong with this addon, every time when I turn it on, it appears "there are too many errors in your UI.....", and with it, the game is so lag. I am currently using the most updated version, don't know why does this happen suddenly.
<audio style="display: none;" controls="controls"></audio>
Is there any documentation how to create a own HandyNotes Plugin?
I got the same error of post #573 in only one of my characters, I've also disabled all addons except Handynotes but the error persists.

In reply to aurleis:
I think it's a bug that is caused by having the icons hidden in the map and then relogging... I fixed mine simply enabling the map icons and reloggin...
What a necessary addon!
Is there a HandyNotes plugin with location of Reputation Vendors / Emissaries / Quartermasters?
Similar to HandyNotes_DungeonLocations... It would be very useful.
Getting this error on only one of my characters. I disabled all addons except Handynotes and still get the error. Any suggestions?

So much to go with this addon it's AWESOME!
I'm interested in developing a plugin but struggling to find information/code examples. Is there a reference site/document for the plugin API available? Alternately, what is the protocol for modifying existing plugins? Thank you.
I cannot log in onto char which starts from garrison unless I disable the addon for that particular char. Any fix soon? :)
