WowAce

Is there a collection of mining routes, for routes available given I cannot currently create my own mining routes? (with the addon in its current state)

I'm having the "No Data" issue in Routes since upgrading to BFA. 

I just upgraded to BFA and suddenly Routes is not auto-updating from Gathermate2 and WowGatheringNodes. I have tried starting fresh including removing the whole WTF folder no addons but installing Routes & Gathermate2, Routes & WowGatheringNodes. All 3 as I've used for a long time. Tried adding the Ace3 library as a separate install. I've tried both the latest Routes nolib and the previous one. 

Thankfully I've kept backups over the years so I have all the old data and routes but since upgrading to BFA no new data is available for creating and/or updating routes. Basically all new locations show on the map and minimap but Routes itself says there is no data/locations whatsoever to create a route.

Anyone found the magic trick to get around this problem? Even code to edit the .lua files.

In reply to Gary7144:

 This appears to be related to the reindex of the zones in v8.0.1: https://wow.gamepedia.com/UiMapID

This has resulted in zones with multiple zoneIDs. For example, Suramar has zoneID 680 (obtained by WorldMapFrame:GetMapID()) and 1191 (obtained by Routes.LZName["Suramar"])

The problem is that GatherMate2 uses 680 but Routes uses 1191 and so has no data with which to draw a route as zone 1191 has no datapoints in GatherMate2. I'll keep looking into this to see if the HereBeDragons library is at fault or whatever else it may be but if anyone else wants to look at this, I can get back to fixing other addons that have been broken by 8.1.0...

UPDATE: -

Warning - Horrible hack, but may be OK as a workaround.

It appears that GM2/HBD uses the first zoneID it finds, whereas Routes uses the last. As such, I've managed to get mine working by changing Routes to not allow it to overwrite a zoneID if it finds one already set.

Line 179 in Routes.lua - From:

if (data.mapType == Enum.UIMapType.Zone or data.mapType == Enum.UIMapType.Continent) and data.name then

 To:

if (data.mapType == Enum.UIMapType.Zone or data.mapType == Enum.UIMapType.Continent) and data.name and Routes.LZName[GetZoneName(uiMapID)] == 0 then

Hi

I have tried this and it does not work for me, I now have a black empty drop down box when i try to add a new route.

The old routes are still available and i still have all the nodes from WowGatheringNodes.

I tried a new import of the nodes and the usual double checking i copy/pasted correctly.

Thanks for trying to fix it, but do i need to do other stuff as well?

Unfortunately, I keep getting errors with Routes. I've got a lot of routes for a variety of zones, but a lot of zones will no longer show for me.

Not sure if ElvUI is the culprit, but even when taking that addon off, it'll come up with a new error.

Adding the ability to lock a route so it cannot be edited by gathering new nodes would be awesome.

What happens when you gather a new node, is it automatically  added to existing routes in that zone?

Awesome addon, although i wish there were keybindings for editing routes so we could create routes much more easily and accurately. For example i wanna bind:

- "Create route node on my location" to F1, which would create a node and link it to the closest nodes

- "Delete closest route node" to F2

Then i could just fly around and fix my routes on the fly. The routes i could make would be laser precision and much more easy to create.

In reply to dusty071:

 Exactly this would be awesome.

Edit and create my own routes on the fly !

When I first installed Routes, it showed on the zone map. However, now it's not. I don't recall changing any settings. The check box to say show on zone map is checked. Any ideas how to make the routes show?

When I create a custom route, the corner dots and middle dots are VERY small and barely visible. I deleted wtf and interface folders and tried clean client with just Routes addon, and the dots were still very small and it's very hard to make and edit your own routes. My resolution is 1080p.

This addon is super helpful, but are you able to let us "tag" manually created routes as being for herbs/ores? The auto-hide function doesn't work on those routes, only on auto-generated routes.

Is this bugged or am I doing something wrong?

My routes show on the map on toons that dont have the profession.  I have the auto show/hide enabled to only show when tracking herbs/ore.  The rest are set to never.  Routes still show on non gathering toons.

It seems there is a bug with Total RP 3. I had to disable it in order to be able to import the nodes for the routes.

Thank you for the update!

Hello, I've been using and loving this addon for years and I'm thankful that there is some attention being given to keep it up to date. I have one request though, recently, Gathermate was changed to include data for timber nodes and this causes some problems when attempting to create new routes from GM data. Would it be possible for routes to accept and create routes using the timber data from gathermate?

THANK YOU!! Got the update, so far seems to be working as I'm used to :)

Hi Kagaro & Xinhuan

I have updated the gathermate2 and Routes to the lasted version. However, the Routes is still not working. It cannot find the data of gathermate2 and I have install the data.

Could you please help to fix the problem.

Many many thx :

I've updated the Gatherer plugin so that it works properly, here: Gatherer.lua on GitHub

Also, the enUS localization file: Locale-enUS.lua on GitHub

per the update 20 minutes ago, still not finding the gathermate2 info when creating a new route.
