HandyNotes
Handy Notes for your maps. This addon is intended to be a small and simple framework for showing notes on your map.
Use /handynotes to access options.
You can add notes to the maps in 3 ways:
- Alt-RightClick on the world map to add a note.
- Use "/hnnew" without the quotes to add a note at your current location.
- Use "/hnnew x,y" without the quotes to add a note at location x,y on your current zone's map.
HandyNotes supports plugins that other authors can write to display their own set of notes on the map. See this link for a list of such addons: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/search?search=handynotes
I've been using HandyNotes_CityGuide, HandyNotes_Mailboxes, HandyNotes_Trainers and HandyNotes_Vendors for a loonng time now, since they were new and supported.
Until the latest HandyNotes release which replaced Astrolabe with HereBeDragons, these older modules worked--mostly--and I've kept them around since there is no replacement I'm aware of for them, and it's handy to be able to find a mailbox or an NPC in another zone or whatever and get a TomTom waypoint to them. Now, alas, these addons are pretty much dead.
Is there any suitable replacement for (any or all of) these HandyNotes modules?
All the HandyNotes modules you listed have been updated now.
FWIW, I think they should've been broken long before the recent changes.
Oh, they were - I made minor repairs to keep them running. The latest change to HandyNotes was rather fatal though. Thanks for the fast update, very much appreciated!
Hello, i'm having an issue with the addon. Activated but :
/handynotes doesnt work

This error is causing me to lose the ability to see anything on maps in battlegrounds, never had this issue until the latest release of all of the extensions, etc. Thoughts or fixes would be appreciated, and love your work!
This is an error in the HandyNotes_SpecialNPCsEtc plugin, I recommend you report to them. :)
You can right click it on the map and delete from there, just don't be flying near it at the time since you can't seem to select it then...
Is there anyway to add or make the Icons for points we've added Bigger? Quite easy to lose them amongst all the other (bigger) ones that have been added? Thanks!
Could really do with a toggle button on the actual map. All too often it obscures other map content, and it's a pain having to go into the options to turn it of and on again.
hello, as i stated in the handynote hallow end plugin, since last update i have an error with astrolab lib :/
HallowsEnd will get fixed soon. Luckily its still a bit time until the event starts!
The 1.4.2 version is completely broken with my setup, with no other changes. This is compared to the 1.3.3 version I was previously using. I will try and get the error messages, but the first one that showed up, as soon as the game started, was about a Lib called ThereBeDragons? After that, my game map was missing and more errors from more mods started throwing everywhere.
Went back to the 1.3.3 version and everything went back to normal.
Sounds like you are using Carbonite. Don't do that.
That's a ... strange statement. The 1.3.3 mod works fine with Carbonite as well as every other mod I have installed. Only using the 1.4.2 version has this problem. I know getting all mods to work together is a challenge for all mod authors, but can you see it from my perspective where only 1.4.2 causes a problem and every other mod I have works just fine?
Carbonite breaks a bunch of map APIs, without which HandyNotes cannot function.
Please contact the Carbonite authors to stop breaking things that come from the game.
updatet today - doesnt work anymore. No ingame menue and no map icons.
Version 1.4 does not work properly when "Rotate Minimap" is turned on. The icons do not rotate with the Minimap.
I just tried, and everything seems fine with rotate minimap on. Any more details?
Apparently the bug can only be reproduced if you turn on "Rotate Minimap" and then exit the game completely and then logging in again. Just turning the setting on does not trigger the bug. Not even reloading the UI or even logging out triggers it.
Just to be clear, the bug is there only if "Rotate Minimap" is on while starting the game.
