LibTourist-3.0

Table of Contents

LibTourist is a library that provides information about zones, instances, transports and more.

For zones, instances, complexes (like Caverns of Time), arenas and battlegrounds, LibTourist can provide level range, faction, location and connections with other zones, as well as instance group sizes, instance entrance portal coordinates, battle pet level ranges and required fishing skills, if applicable.

Color-coding for level ranges and zone names is available.

Relationships between zones can be provided, i.e. which instances are located in a specific complex, and in which zone resides the complex, vice versa.

The library contains information about known cross-zone transports: zeppelins, boats, portals etcetera. It can also be used for distance calculations between coordinates.

An extensive API allows the addon developer to query LibTourist in many ways.

LibTourist supports localization.

See the API Reference page for detailed information.

__________________

A few notes about the fishing skills in LibTourist:

- All fishing skills are now set to the skill required to fish 100% junk-free. If your skill, including the effect of lures and other enhancements, is below that, you will catch a certain percentage of junk, which can be up to 100%.

- These values are valid for open water, because fishing pools requires skill 1 since WoW patch 3.3.0, regardless of the zone they're in.

- If multiple values apply for a zone, generally the lowest is used. For example, for Northern Stranglethorn a higher skill is required to fish the South Seas (300) compared to other waters (150), so it's value in LibTourist is set to 150.

- Zones that have a fishing skill of 1, allow fishing in lava or acid only. Don't expect to catch anything useful here, except for an incidental Elemental Fire from lava.

- Zones without a fishing skill should contain no fishable water.

- Fishing in Draenor works differently. Depending on your skill you will catch Small, 'normal' or Enormous fish. For all Draenor zones the fishing skill is set to 950, which is the skill required to catch nothing but Enormous Fish.

- Currently it is assumed the mechanism used in Draenor also applies to the zones on the Broken Isles continent (WoW Legion).

I am currently in the middle of moving to the other side of my country, but I still maintain the lib and will release an update as soon as I can. Please be a bit patient, though, it will take some time... ;-)

It seems to me that Siege of Orgrimmar instance is missing in the lib. Or am I mistaken?

Hm... I have no clue why this was originally built this way. If you meet the required minimum level, you can enter a BG, all the way up to the game level cap, as far as I know. No idea what the fmod construction is for, so I removed it and replaced it with a straight-forward low/high-check :-) Also, I have upped the high value for all BG's to 90 to make that check work for players above 85.

See r156...

Would you be so kind to check if this results in the expected behaviour? Thanks! ;-)

Ah, well that may explain why the IterateRecommendedInstances no longer works as they used to for BGs.
It used to be if you had a character that was the right level for say, WSG and AB you would get these returned and no other BGs. At max level you would get all of them. I no longer am seeing recommended BGs on low level characters. I was proposing that instead of fixing RecommendedInstances a new RecommendedBGs that behaves like it used to , but just for BGs be added.

I have and was looking at Wow-5.0-beta2 of LibTourist. I see code like

zones[BZ["Warsong Gulch"]] = { low = 10, high = 85, continent = Kalimdor, paths = isHorde and BZ["Northern Barrens"] or BZ["Ashenvale"], groupSize = 10, type = "Battleground", texture = "WarsongGulch",

and for other BGS that seem to set the high to 85., so the high is being set to only 85, then just ignored in the code it seems?

Also,

if playerLevel >= low and (playerLevel == MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL or math.fmod(playerLevel, 10) >= 6) then

seem to be an attempt to only recommend BGs when you are x6-x9, but that is not accurate for the current brackets as it misses recommending x4

Hi Alsuko,

I have compared the Pandaria zone levels to what the game itself suggests. Turns out that 88-89 for Towlong Steppes is correct.

However, 87-88 for Dread Wastes is incorrect, this should be 89-90. It will be corrected in the next release of LibTourist.

Thanks!

Hi Twobits,

I don't quite understand how battlegrounds can be recommended, as they have level brackets which make them accessible for all player levels that meet the minimum level requirement for the BG. Furthermore, the max level is not set to 85 but to MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL, which is supplied by WoW (currently 90).

I use elvui location +, it use your library. I see a mistake for the townlong steppes for the level of this zone. It must be to appear 89-90.

Thank you (i'm frensh)

Would it make any sense to add an IterateRecommendedBattlegrounds()

I guess it does not matter that the max_level for the Battlegrounds is still set to 85?

Maybe these should be made auto adjusting?

something like

local current_max_level = MAX_PLAYER_LEVEL_TABLE[GetExpansionLevel()]

then use current_max_level for the max_level = in the Battlegrounds.

I'm sorry, I missed your comment somehow, but in the meantime a ticket has been created for this idea. I'll look into it, I think it would be a valuable addition.

Not sure if this fits into you goal but Pet Battle Levels might be something you want to include. 85 - 90's will be bouncing all over the world hoping to get a rare this or that but making sure that the companions you have are ready for the level you are going enter is going to be a thing.

@ iceeagle: You have PM...

@ Ackis: GetMapNameByID can not be used as an alternative for all names in LibBabble-Zone, so it's not that magical. Babble-Zone contains a lot of translations for zones/areas that have no mapID, 28 of these are used in LibTourist.
