About QuickMapNotes

This mod is a little enhancement I wrote for the popular addon "MapNotes (Fan's Update)". <file type="tooltip">4116</file> I love the mod, the only thing I dislike about it is the fact that it takes to many clicks to insert a new note of which you already know the coordinates (as found on Thottbot, WowHead, etc.)

QuickMapNotes makes a end to this.

Open the window using /qmn (or, even more convinient, macro it), fill in a name for the note and paste the coordinates. For all other mapnotes function you should still be using the original menu's.

The small print... ;p

There is little to non error checking in the coords box. You can enter coords in 2 ways; XX,YY (comma separated) or XX.YY (dot separated) any other characters in that box *will* result in a error.

It will only work with "MapNotes (Fan's Update)". If you use any other coord mod QMN does nothing.

UPDATE:

I've been away from WoW for quite a while and haven't really bothered with the mod anymore. There will be no future updates to it, at least not from my hand. If Someone wants to pick it up and modify/update it, be my guest :-)

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

Any chance you could distribute this as a Zip archive instead of RAR? It will make life much easier for Apple users. :)

This AddOn still works as of 2007-11-16 if force-loaded.

But this AddOn is not actually quick. It should work with something like:

* /qmn 10,10 this is my text
* allow pressing tab in the fields, allow pressing enter anywhere to save the note

DamageCase, if you're still using the Fan's update of MapNotes, consider the more recently updated http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/4116/ .. your addon works just fine with it.

An idea would be to add Dependencies: MapNotes in the .toc.
I know it's obvious from the addon description but still... :) That way it wouldn't load if someone doesn't have MapNotes installed.

I had thought of this but opted to leave it like it is now.
One thing that I find even more anoying is having to type the same thing two or three times (if you have a quest that sends you to multiple locations for example)
Added to that, as soon as you enter a note and select the name box again the whole text is selected, if you start typing the old name is gone anyway.
On a sidenote, I am not planning any major updates, upgrades or changes to this mod. It works fine as it is atm and only when it stops working with it's master mod (Mapnotes Fan's update) I would consider working on it.

Great idea. However, could you make it so it clears out the last entry when the note is added. It gets kind of annoying have to select the text, delete it and then type in the new info.
