Note: Both marks will only be displayed only if you are using the NPCScan addon
I'm dying for an update to this! Nothing else like it ever since. Hope you're still working on it!
So dead?
With how long this has taken for an update, is this addon dead now?
Error with new version :
Hi
Im using the npcscan.overlay addon but it doesn't show the paths on the world map. Can anyone help me. Im using version 3.3.5.1 for wrath of the lich king.
So you guys are saying you are working on it since a long time, any plans yet when it will be released? There still isn't any other addon for rare mob spawns on the map for classic to cata maps. i really would appriciate an addon like this to reappear :P
Oh my gosh. I miss this addon so much. I've been using Silverdragon but also use Handy Notes and my poor map. Skulls, skulls and more skulls. My poor map is so clogged with skulls. I need this addon in my life. Please consider updating soon.
Please update! I would prefer seeing the paths of the time lost proto drake and Vyragosa.
The new map has been there for a long while now, so could you now please rewrite it, as you say in your description?
There is another new addon with paths, but it also shows skulls and you have to turn on nameplates, which I don't like at all.
And I like to stick with addons, I was and am used to.
Ok, I just saw that the first requests for an update because of the new map are 2 years ago.... This is ridiculous.
Could you then please honestly say if you don't update the mod for the new map anymore, so that users like me can switch to another addon? Then we don't need to wait/hope anymore...
How do you integrate NPCscan Overlay with SilverDragon?
