HandyNotes

Table of Contents

Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.

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.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes

Yeah, the individual plugin authors need to update their addons as well. I may look into HandyNotes_Guild though.

That would be great. HandyNotes_Guild was one of our favorite plug-ins for HandyNotes. Glad to have you back!

Glad to see you're back Xinhuan! This is an awesome addon. Great to have an official fixed version again. Unfortunately, the plugins aren't working with the new version. I have the self-made notes still, but that's it.

I'm not the author of that plugin, but I could look into it.

I would like to thank everyone for the support shown while I was too busy to find time to fix this addon.

My next focus would be to update HandyNotes_FlightMasters and collecting the data for it.

YAY! I hate getting the error when i accidentally mouse over a flight path on the main map. Is there anything we can do to help you get the data for flight points?

I pointed out the FAQ because the instructions were not complete even when I posted the first tempfix, Toran had missed the changes for Astrolabe:ComputeDistance and Astrolabe:TranslateWorldMapPosition which were needed by some of the addons. He did a great job! But that's why you occasionally saw some trouble (Mailbox clearing other mailboxes in the same zone, etc.) Please don't take that as a criticism, but I was getting complaints from people who followed the incomplete directions. I do appreciate both your and Toran's work in getting mods working for everyone.

I updated the FAQ, so the addons should work with both the official 1.2.0 when it's released and the tempfix. That wasn't a change required by the tempfix. If anything the tempfix was getting changed to better support the addons. The comment to remove the "HandyNotes.compat = compat" line was because it caused that addon to overwrite the main compat section in HandyNotes (tempfix) and thus potentially remove support for other addons.

HandyNotes_Vendors was recently updated on SVN so hopefully that one will be working as well as HandyNotes_FlightMasters when HandyNotes has a release version.

HandyNotes (tempfix) has since been changed to currently require different modifications in the add-on modules from what I posted 2 weeks ago below, as per the "HandyNotes (tempfix) FAQ" as you say. But what I posted was valid for the version of the hacky hacked mod at that time (rev. 1.16a, tested, verified) as well as add-on modules that had not been updated to use Astrolabe-1.0.

As Xinhuan is now updating the main mods & his plugins (at least Flightmasters), as is said below, hopefully the need for the hackdeluxe will go away. It likely won't completely until all the critical add-on modules (Vendors, Mailboxes, etc.) are updated too.

I appreciate the plug for HandyNotes (tempfix) and am happy it's working for you.

If you are following Zidomo's directions remove the "HandyNotes.compat = compat" line from the code below. It doesn't belong there and can cause problems.

Please see the HandyNotes (tempfix) FAQ for instructions on modifying your HandyNotes_* plugins to work with it. While Toran did a great job he didn't catch all the changes needed.

And you can change "fully updated" to hamfistedly hacked. [I wrote the tempfix, I can say it.]

Since updates are appearing on the svn, hopefully the need for the tempfix will go away shortly.

Someone came out with a temporary fix that works. At least for me it does. It can be found over at:

Okay--this update does work almost correctly. I can make notes and they show on the map and minimap. The problem now is however, that if you change the note by moving or deleting it, it remains in the original position on the minimap until you go into a different zone and come back again.

Confirmed, does help the minimap issue. Make sure to install the updated Handynotes version in addition to changing the lines of code in your handynotes plugins!

This addon is completely broken. Now the icons for notes don't appear at all anywhere. That's after updating Astrolabe to the latest version and editing the luas to reflect that. It lets me try to set a note and name it but no icons show on the regular map or on the minimap. There doesn't seem to be any interest by the author to fix this mod so does anyone know of another mod that creates map notes that is currently working?

Astrolabe has been updated as of the 19th I think Handynotes needs to be also based on that lib's current status.
