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)

Posted Aug 7, 2019Hello!
I've been searching for any info on this online and can't find it. Is there a way to change the icon style that is placed on the map when you add a note?
Thanks!
Nancy

I had a look and it looks like you can. You set one when you make the note, or if you right-click on the icon on the map you can choose to "edit handy note" and change the icon there. You can choose from all the target marker icons or some of the other map icons you see in tracking - like the stable icon, quest marker, mail icon etc.

Posted Jul 15, 2019Having HandyNotes enabled causes significant delay in being able to click around on the world map to zoom out or change zones. It can take up to 2-3 seconds before clicks register when opening the map and a bit more than a second after clicking to a new zone. With HandyNotes disabled, there's a small delay when first opening the map the first time before clicks register, and no delay when changing zones.

Posted Jul 4, 2019It would be really useful if there was an option to list the rares as well to one side of the map.
I'm in Mechagon and someone is saying a rare "Bone Picker" is up, and I am disparately mousing over all the skulls on my map to find him. An alphabetical list would be useful for a zone, you could just click on "Bone Picker" and it would highlight that skull on the map.
It would also be cool if the list showed what they all dropped, but that;s just a bonus thought!
Thanks for reading.

If they include the coordinates in their message, and you have TomTom, you can get my addon TomPoints: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/tompoints/ to click the coordinates to create a TomTom waypoint.

Hello Don Sefer , Yes, I tried it. The problem is that it does not always work correctly and sometimes the game tells you to disable the addon because it is not updated, consequently all the plugins that have been updated are in error.
this is one of my favorite addons and I hope they update it soon :)

Posted Jun 29, 2019How do coordinates work?
Lets say I saved something on the WorldMap. The coordinates are about 65.93, 69.61.
The SavedVariables shows the following
The number in brackets is different. So how is it working?
