HandyNotes
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

Posted Sep 16, 2020When I make a custom marker (waypoint thingy) I look at the selection of types of icons and the icon next to 'Portal' is a green square, not a portal icon. What do I need to do next?
This is for HNClassic.

I went into HandyNotes_HandyNotes.lua and saw this on line 66:
[28] = {text = L["Portal"], icon = "Interface\\Icons\\Spell_Arcane_PortalDalaran"},
Pretty sure that Spell_Arcane_PortalDalaran doesn't exist in Classic.
Not sure if this is actually the problem but I can't think of anything else because I'm not versed in Lua programming.
==UPDATE:
Yea, just confirmed it by replacing it with one of the classic portal icons.

Posted May 17, 2020Have a question. When my character is moving, the handynotes icons appear in the minimap. When I stop moving, the handynotes icons disappear until I start moving again. Is this the way it is intended to function? Is there any way to keep the handynotes icons visible all the time?
Thank-you!

Are you experiencing a scenario where, when you are in an indoors location like a cave, building, ship, etc, EVERY SINGLE handynotes icon for that entire zone is compressed and displayed on the minimap for that enclosed location whenever you are moving? That's what I experience when I'm moving around. A solution of some kind for this problem would be very nice.

Posted Apr 30, 2020Any idea why this is happening. I appears to be an addon conflict with Minimap Button Frame,an addon that takes all your addon buttons and buts them in a nice box. (rather than a cluttered mess all overlapping and stuff around the edge of your map) I think it is trying to take the Handy Notes icons and put them in the frame too.
The problem is the texture for where handynotes should be placing icons is instead a square that is larger (about 1cm) and so it obscures if there is actually a bliz placed icon there (if it's really there vs the place it would be if something were spawned). I would include a pic, but it looks like I have to host it somewhere first.
Anyway, any known workarounds? (besides turning off one or the other)

Posted May 7, 2020In reply to emmaleah:
It's Questie. Changed or added a frame name apparently, as this is a new problem and MBF hasn't changed in a long time. If you open MBF options, under Exceptions, in the text box "Add Protected Item" type "QuestieFrame" (no quotes).

Posted Jan 28, 2020This Add-on is not working with the latest patch and needs an update Bump to 8.3 please. All the Add-ons that are supported by this add-on will not work properly until this one is updated.

Posted Nov 3, 2019Is there any reasoning behind the removal of the functionality that colored rare skulls blue on the world map and minimap if their rare loot was not yet collected? You recently converted warfronts to simply only show white skulls everywhere (to match what'd already been done starting with Mechagon and Nazjatar) and it's frankly a worse user experience as a result.
EDIT: Well, the warfront map just magically started doing this again after bringing the map up a second time. Nazjatar and Mechagon never did, though.
