Map Coordinates

I've started playing around with editing Boston's Leveling Guide for Dun Morogh (1-12), mainly just to learn how to edit a guide. I have noticed a problem with the tomtom coordinates. At the T step for Dwarven Outfitters, I am using 29.87,71.87 for my coordinates and TomTom is sending me to 29.93,71.21. I've uninstalled and reinstalled tomtom and wow-pro several times and problem persists. I browsed through your source code and noticed that if no coordinates are provided that it will try to pull from Lightheaded or from Blizzard POI. So I installed Lightheaded and the problem went away. It seems to me that sometimes the |M| is not being sent properly and it is pulling these bad coordinates from Blizzard POI info.

Also later on, I put "The Boar Hunter" and "The Troll Cave" onto a sticky. Later on I use these 3 lines:

C The Troll Cave |QID|182||M|20.89,76.08||N|Kill Frostmane Troll Whelps until the quest is completed.|US|
C The Boar Hunter |QID|183||M|21.68,71.14||N|Kill Small Crag Boars until the quest is completed.|US|
T The Boar Hunter |QID|183||M|22.60,71.41||N|Report back to Talin Keeneye.|

If both C steps are completed already tomtom reports the map coordinate in the T step correctly. If either or both of the C steps needs to be completed the TomTom arrow says "The Boar Hunter" and points me to coordinate 23.21,72.48. I can only assume that it is once again pulling an incorrect map point from Blizzard POI. It looks like when you unsticky a step it is not passing the new map coordinates to TomTom or passing no coordinates in which it is pulling from Blizzard POI.

Love WOW-Pro and hope to begin editing some of the older guides very soon...any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: I tried the Dwarven Outfitters quest again with Lightheaded and TomTom loaded. The problem came back:

C Dwarven Outfitters |QID|179||M|28.98,73.86||N|Kill Ragged Young Wolves.|
T Dwarven Outfitters |QID|179||M|29.87,71.87||N|Report back to Sten Stoutarm and turn in quest.|

TomTom reported the coordinates again for the T step as 29.93,71.21

Hope this helps...

That... is very strange. It shouldn't be using the Blizz POI unless no coordinates are provided. Nor should it be using Lightheaded if coordinates are provided.

Will look into it, thanks for the report.

Not able to reproduce this issue with the Dwarven Outfitters quest. Have you fixed this, Jiyambi?

commented

I did nothing :O

As of the last update, I have noticed that the problem has stopped happening. Some change somewhere must have fixed this problem. I am currently testing an update for the Dun Morogh area. So far have tested 4 classes with no problems. Must have been fixed by fixing something else. If it pops again will report.

commented

Alright, that's good to hear anyways :) Will close for now.

Ok, loaded 1.3 and problems are back and worse now. I thought since no one else seems to be having this problem, I went to a friends house and installed WOW, Lightheaded, TomTom and WoW-Pro on his system. The problem still exists. The problem I am seeing is with the dwarf-gnome starter area, but it is with my file that I am editing...maybe I am doing something wrong. So here is my file:

git clone git://gist.github.com/592584.git gist-592584

and annotated screenshots of the errors I am having:

Hopefully this will help...if it is me...please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am almost done with testing the module and would like to post it up...not sure how to do that or if you can pull it for current location.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it tonight.
Also, re-opened.

Ok, thanks for the detailed report, I believe I found and fixed the bugs. I'll wait for Jyiambi to approve and pull my changes.

Grabbed Silvann's changes, should be fixed now. Marking "resolved".
