WowAce

STILL getting spiky, star shaped routes even after I cluster & optimize.

Encountered a bug:

 I too had this issue and it was frustrating. Installing: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/ace3 fixed my issue.

EDIT: double post

Anyone else having trouble optimizing routes? I've been using this addon for several expansions, and in Shadowlands, it just won't cluster or optimize.

Is there a way to rename a route?

Is it possible to get a Classic version ?
I found a almost working version for Classic on GitHub, but still many bugs in it.

In reply to SubbyDK:

 +1 on that would be great af

is there no way to make ur own custom route without needing herb/ore locations?

i want to draw one from scratch to immitate someone elses...

i could only find editing existing route points, nothing about how to add new ones..

should be basic information on the front page of addon settings IMO

thx

In reply to szien94:

 you make a blank route and then edit it to your liking

I have this issue with Routes where when I click an herb node that is not part of my route, it automatically adds it to my route. Is it possible to disable this feature? There are certain zones where I have 2 different routes, for example a Northern route and a Southern route. And when I'm only running one of the two routes, clicking a node, automatically adds that node to the other route I'm not running, which completely screws up the my routes. I can see how this feature is supposed to be helpful but it's only helpful if you run a single route at a time. If you use multiple routes, its screws stuff up.

How can this be fixed?

In reply to Jakobud:

 Create a 'taboo'.  It's like a route, but will shade in the part of the map that's inside the route.  It starts as a triangle, but you can make it as complex as you want.  Once you've drawn your taboo and saved it, go to the route you don't want to go into that area, click the taboos tab, and check the premade taboos you want to exclude.

Slight bug on line 363 of Routes.lua.  Facing for me was nil.  I added line 362 saying "minimap_rotate and facing ~= nil" to fix it.

Clustering "Script ran too long" workaround.

Create a Taboo that covers half the nodes and activate the Taboo on your route.

Cluster the remaining nodes.

Deactivate the Taboo. This should automatically cluster the nodes previously covered by that Taboo.

Tested in Tirasgarde Sound with 1567 nodes.

In reply to Forge_User_65382693:

 Another workaround is literally getting the TSP lua algorithm out of wow entirely, so the running time limits the wow engine puts on the script execution are removed.

My port can be found here https://github.com/justinkb/routes-lua

It requires the user to input:

1) the ["route"] array of the route to be clustered from their Routes.lua SavedVariables (set the nodes variable to that data)

2) the zone height and width, which can be queried from within WoW

3) the clustering distance (defaults to 60)

It generates output the user should manually paste back into Routes.lua (in the right spot obviously), overwriting old data if existing (probably only "length" and "route" will already exist)

(It should obviously be run in whatever Lua interpreter you prefer)

I don't guess you'd be able to post a "For Dummies" tutorial for doing this? :D

Is it possible to make a route trough multiple zones?

Specifically i would love to make a felwort route for Legion

In reply to Forge_User_81802037:

 I made on that went over the peak between Boralus and Stormsong.  Basically, there was one route in each zone, but the line connecting the entrance point to the exit point was outside of the zone bounds at the edge of the map.  When you cross the boundary, Routes automatically loads the route from your new zone, making a seamless transition.
