GatherMate2

Table of Contents

GatherMate2 is an addon to collect and track herbs, mines, fishing pools, gas clouds, archaelogy finds and treasures, and displays them on the world map and the mini map.

This is the Retail version of GatherMate2, the version for WoW Classic can be found here

GatherMate will remember the location of every herb you pick or every ore you mine, so that you can easily find the positions of the herbs and mines again. Once you come into range of a recorded spot, GatherMate will show an icon representing the type of herb/ore/fish/etc. on your mini map, directly allowing you to decide if its worth checking out. Additionally, all spots are shown on the World Map, to ease navigation to certain types of nodes and making gathering more fun.

To give you a head start, GatherMate2 also offers a pre-filled data module, so you don't need to discover all herbs and mines yourself, but instead can just start gathering right away. Simply install GatherMate2_Data and hit a few buttons to import all the provided data, and you're good to go.

Video about configuring this addon.

Usage

Using GatherMate2 is straight-forward.
After the installation, GatherMate2 is automatically active and collecting data.

You can configure which data should be shown on the World Map or MiniMap in the Configuration Dialog, which can be accessed either via the /gathermate slash command or be found in the Interface options in the WoW Menu.

Localization (Translation of Nodes)

GatherMate2 relies on the node names to be translated in all languages WoW supports. You can contribute additional translations for your language here using the Localization tool:
https://www.wowace.com/projects/gathermate2/localization

Any translations submitted through that tool will be automatically included in the next release.

GatherMate2_Data

GatherMate2_Data has been updated with all fresh data from Wowhead, including support for Shadowlands, and will be continously updated throughout the coming expansion.

I've run into an interesting issue with this addon. Sometimes I end up with nodes that show on the world map when I'm zoomed out to the continent level, and they don't show up while zoomed in to the zone map.

I can create nodes like this to consistently when I gather while the map is open and zoomed out to the continent level. I don't have any map addons installed. I don't have the gatherMate data installed either.

I do have to have "show world map icons" checked, otherwise you can't see the buggy nodes (but they're still created). My understanding of this option is that it's only supposed to show items at the zone level and not at the continent level, though (or at least, that's what I would like it to do)

If anybody has any advice for cleaning out these nodes from the database, that would be great.

is there a way to disable herb tracking in 2 zones? there are so many in deepholm and twilight highlands that it lags me a lot when opening the map. my gathering toon is both mining/herb so i need mining to stay on. but in those 2 zones, herbs are basically everywhere so no tracking is necessary. thanks for any suggestions :)

You can always delete specific nodes, and i think nodes for a zone, you could also use the option to just turn off tracking whatever herbs there are in deepholm and twilight highlands where you just have to use your minimap tracking ability. I had to do that with stranglekelp cause there is so much in any water, especially thousand needles.

I still need to track the herb/ore nodes so they show up on my minimap as yellow dots, but i don't need gathermate2 to show anything on the main maps (icons) or in my minimap. So disabling tracking won't work. Just hoping an option in gm2 would allow me to hide/show icons per zone.

I would like to thank you for this great addon. I've been using it for over a year and it's invaluable for any sort of outdoor node gathering.
I would also like to request tracking of maplewood and dark iron treasure chests, since the current version doesn't seem to track those.

Bug: 1.12 doesn't hook into the WoW UI. I had to go back to 1.11 for mod to be accessible.

Just installed the addon, and can find no evidence of it being installed. It's in the correct folder, and shows in the "Addons" list on the wow login screen, but /gathermate or any other command will not bring up a gui, nor are there options showing up in the interface - addons screen

What gives?

Here is a copy of the post I just make at GatherHud.

I will post this here instead of where I was heading, GM_D2. Through this morning, I signed off at 8:00 EST for the rolling restarts GM2 and GM_D2 were working great. I was gahering motes of air in Nagrand this morning and went back a little after ten o'clock only to find that GM2 started leaving steam clouds behind instead of the windy clouds it was supposed to. It worked fine this morning so I came here to let you know when I see that GH had been revamped and placed at about the same time the breakdown in icons happened to GM2. The problem could be in there somewhere.

Also, I was in Icecrown yesterday and gathered a crystallized water from a vapor cloud and it left no icon behind at all.

I love the addon. However the one piece lacking is the functionality that minihugehud and sexymap provide. That is when there is an actual node available it isn't displayed in the hud. Would also be nice to have some type of heat trail like gatherer provides where you can see where you have been. For now I use all four addons to get this functionality. Would be nice to reduce this to just gathermate.

I started using GM2 just after Cataclysm launch and it was working amazing! For the last week or so it has decided to stop showing any nodes all together. I have only updated the addon through curse and have not touched anything. I tried BlazingDeath420's method and it threw an error at me. Any ideas?

New GM2 user, have followed the advice to get the addon and data installed, but the Import window options (GMconversion & GM2Data) options are greyed out. Solution available ?

Just letting you know that for now I'm switching back to GM2 1.11-2 because while collecting gas clouds in Nagrand, Zangarmarsh, and Scholazar Basin the icons were all correct under that version. I just had the oppertunity to use the latest version, 1.11-3 and it is just leaving behind the steam cloud icon again everywhere. Since there is a version that works correctly with the icons I will use it and just thought I'd let you know. One point of interest with me, I'm not sure which addon is responsible for the icons so I might be switching GM_D2 also.

Edit: This one has me scratching my head. I ended up going back three versions of both addons, GM2 & GM_D2 and I am still getting steam cloud icons with all of them. Now, about a week ago and I know it was the version before this one I was getting Windy Cloud icons in Nagrand and correct icons for the other zones mentioned above, they are on my maps for proof. Why aren't I getting them now with any combination I through out there going back three versions?

the herb markers in darkshore dont keep accurate count of where the herbs are.
Ex. you pick an herb and have it mark, it respawns you take 10 steps away and the marker doesnt stay there, it moves while the herb is still at it's original location.

LUA scripts cannot install keyloggers.

Also, authenticators should be mandatory.
