LibMapData-1.0

Table of Contents

Note: LibMapData-1.0 is unmaintained, a suggested replacement library is HereBeDragons-1.0

Small library that provides mapfile data. it include width,height, upper left x,y and lower right x,y. This data includes multi-floor maps such as the new instances.

API Documentation

To get the mapfile names use GetMapInfo() on the current map. Filenames are constant across localizations.

Sample usage:

     mapfiles = LibStub("LibMapData-1.0"); 
     -- get the size of Coth defaulting to the first floor size
     local width,height = mapfiles:MapArea('CoTStratholme')
     -- get the size of the 8th floor of icc 
     width,height = mapfiles:MapArea('IcecrownCitadel',8) 
     -- get the size of the Arati mapfile.
     width,height = mapfiles:MapArea('Arathi')

The floors are optional and if a given floor is not found 0,0 will be returned. This lib came about as a result of several addons needing the data, and simply copying and pasting them in each copy occupies around 44k of memory.

LibMapData now supports Mapchanged callback event. Sample usage:

mapfiles = LibStub("LibMapData-1.0"); 
mapfiles:RegisterCallback("MapChanged",function(event,map,floor,w,h) print("Map is now "..map) end

make sure your addons are updated as the darkmoon faire info is in the library.

You might have some odler version installed that is missing teh data be sure if your using tomtom to update to the latest as it had an old copy of the library

mapData[795] = {
           ['floors'] = 0, ['name'] = "MoltenFront", ['rzti'] = 861, ['map_type'] = 0, ['continent'] = 0, ['transform'] = 0,
           [1] = {1189.5833129882812,793.7499389648438,-933.3333129882812,1702.083251953125,256.25,908.3333129882812},
       }

is it spamming the information or only showing once? Also can you send me a list of your addons there might be some old version sending this message once, when its gets silenced as the newer version of the library loads.

if you grab the alpha of libmapdata and still seeing spam, that means you have an older version embedded in one fo your addons as I removed the warning messages in the alpha completly

I've tried everything I can think of to track down what's causing my map's missing areas. Updated, uninstalled, removed both Gatherer and Gatherer 2 and its db, LMD and its file, I'm at my wit's end. Anything you can do to help?

Currently, 816, 823 pop a chat error: unknown area 816, level 0 / unknown area 823

I also have a flightpoint error in Outland:
Failed to associate Sanctum of the Stars with a valid node

@Cortello

The .toc is there for when you install it standalone. Just ignore it if you're embedding it into your addon. And I think the real addon name is that of the main folder, not what's specified as the title in the ToC file.

Firstly, your example for RegisterCallback in the notes needs a closing parenthesis after the end.

Secondly, I wonder if you can explain where this module is intended to be installed? The obvious way is to put it in a Libs directory within my module, but if that is the intention why does it have a .toc file? If it was installed like any other module then I could initialise with

..\LibMapData-1.0\library.lua

in my own .toc file, but because the module name "Lib: MapData-1.0" has a space there is no way to add it as a dependency to my module. I presume this is deliberate, so what is the intention?
