API Reference

LibTourist 3.0 API Reference

 

Note for all functions that take a parameter 'zone', 'instance' or 'complex'

In the game, a small number of duplicate zone names exist. To be sure LibTourist returns the data for the desired zone, first use GetUniqueZoneNameForLookup(zoneName, continentID) to get a unique localized zone name based on the provided continent ID. Use this name for the lookup functions, if you are not using uiMapIDs.

Currently, there are five duplicate zones names:

  • "The Maelstrom"
  • "Nagrand"
  • "Shadowmoon Valley"
  • "Hellfire Citadel"
  • "Dalaran"

The unique English zone names for the duplicates are:

  • "The Maelstrom (Zone)"
  • "Nagrand (Draenor)"
  • "Shadowmoon Valley (Draenor)"
  • "Hellfire Citadel (Draenor)"
  • "Dalaran (Broken Isles)"

See reference below, the affected parameters are marked in blue.

 

Using UIMap ID

In addition to the above, these blue marked function parameters can also accept a uiMapID as used by the C_Map interface. Several LibTourist functions return uiMapIDs as well, like GetMapContinentsAlt, GetMapZonesAlt and GetContinentMapID. The complete list of uiMapIDs can be retrieved with GetMapIDLookupTable.

 

Flight node data

Version r213 and higher 

Data is gathered by LibTourist about flight nodes, using the C_TaxiMap interface. For each zone that has flight nodes, the node IDs have been stored in the library. At runtime, the C_TaxiMap interface is used to assign node data to these IDs in a lookup table.

Libtourist caches the MapTaxiNodeInfo objects from C_TaxiMap with two additional properties: 

structure TaxiMap.MapTaxiNodeInfo
        number nodeID              -- unique flight node ID
        table position                 -- position of the node on the Flight Master's map (no relation with the world map!)
        string name                    -- node name as displayed in game, includes zone name (mostly)
        string atlasName          -- atlas object type
        Enum.FlightPathFaction faction        -- 0 = Neutral, 1 = Horde, 2 = Alliance
        (optional) string textureKitPrefix    -- no clue what this is for
        string factionName      -- added by LibTourist: "Neutral", "Horde" or "Alliance" (not localized)
        table zones                      -- added by LibTourist: localized names of the zones in which the node resides*

*) some nodes, like those in major cities, are linked to the city (i.e. Orgrimmar) and the zone in which the city is located (i.e. Durotar). The majority however, has only one zone assigned.

The following API functions are available to access flight node data:

  • DoesZoneHaveFlightnodes(zone)
  • GetFlightnode(nodeID)
  • GetFlightnodeFactionColor(faction)
  • GetFlightnodeLookupTable()
  • IterateZoneFlightnodes(zone)
  • RefreshFlightNodeData()

Notes

  • The C_TaxiMap interface is used by the game to populate the TaxiMap. There is no relation whatsoever with the World Map or its coordinate system. The relations between nodes and zones have been included in LibTourist manually, but the world map coordinates of the flight nodes are unfortunately not available. Also, there is no data available in C_TaxiMap on connections between flight nodes.
  • For some reason, C_TaxiMap does not return data for a small number of node IDs (10 to 20 on a total of over 500). Which IDs depends on a few things, including the character's faction and if zones like Silithus and Blasted Lands are set to 'now' or 'present'. The nodes unavailable in C_TaxiMap do not exist for the character. All other nodes are returned, regardless of their faction and if they have been discovered or not. The Seahorses in Vashj'ir and teleports on Argus are included. Check the code comments to see which nodes are Seahorses.
