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)
hey, for some reason the addon work only on one of my char and not on all of them. if i write /handynotes on this char nothing appear, anyone know how to solve it? (on my alt it's open the window)
hey, for some reason the addon not working for me, even the option for then addon not showing up when i write the command, anyone can help me with it?
When using Silver Hand Orders: "HandyNotes has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI."
I think the last 2 or 3 versions, i have a problem about when i click on a corpse of a rare the gruops search button didnt come up, did i do something wrong or its changed. ineed the old version how can i do it?
ps: sorry for my english.
I would like to request a simple way of turning off and back on Handynotes. The icons, etc... are very informational but sometimes they are also in the way. Simple 1 button click to turn off all the icons and then turn them back on.
I created a simple macro to do is but after a long playing session where I used that macro often /hnnew stopped working. No errors it just didn't do anything.
This is the macro.
/script HandyNotes:Enable()
/stopmacro [button:1]
/script HandyNotes:Disable()
Maybe add a minimap button and/or a world map button to do that. Thanks.
I have been having a problem with marking my map it keeps telling me
Handy notes cannot create a note hear as it is unable to obtain your current location . Usually this is because there is no map for the zone you are in.
I am sure you have the maps so I don't understand what the problem is this is important to me as I cant mark the locations of the rare's on Argus will this be fixed soon.

Thank you for all your work.
Getting a new bug.

Repeatable by simply going to the Mac'aree map.
Just updated and all rares icons on Argus are gone despite the fact that it's checked in settings.
The latest update has switched the keybinds for map zoom out and add note. Zoom in and out of world map was previously left click/right click on mouse; now right click is adding note, and shift+right click zooms out. I'll have to disable handy note until this is reverted.
After the recent update I have "Pebble"s all over my Dalaran minimap. Only happens on my main too. Any idea how to fix that?
same here Pebbles everywhere
Any update for Argus coming?
Yes please! Or if anyone knows a temporary workaround? I'm not versed in blizz API.
Edit: issue being that at times I can't create a new note. Have to reload to get it to work, and sometimes multiple times. At other times, I'll create a note and it just doesn't create it.
How delete notes?
Hi, is there a way to take reports for my all notes?
For example, if I add a note in the map for any X and Y points such as "Food Vendor", can I find where food vendors are in later?
Thanks in advance
Hi, would it be possible to remove the built-in Ephemeral Crystals in the base Handy Notes addon since there exists a plugin for Ephemeral Crystals and I cant remove them from the base Handy Notes.
Hello Handynotes devs,
I was experiencing some visual bugs for the world map and disabling your addon fixed the issues. More often than not, the world map would open and the zone would display only in a small part of the upper left of the frame with the rest being black. After zooming, it would fill the frame. I was in Broken Isles when this happened and did not test any other zones. I was using HandyNotes with only the Draenor Treasures plugin.
For some reason the Click to Target wont show the NPC. It shows the button but its blank, no name (have to look in chat to see the name) however the button works to target. I don't get any error messages. I have played with the viewing options and that doesnt seem to help. I also use WorldMap Tracking Enhanced just for full disclosure - and have posted this there as well
Midsummer festival bonefires do not show up on map with patch 7.2.5 anymore - please fix it!
