As for the map issue's, that's what i'm currently working on. And for those who thought it was because of tomtom, well.. it's not last night I was able to get it to stop displaying my player icon in other zones.. but flight paths still show, so that's next to figure out.

I do admit it has been longer then expected to get the next alpha version out, and TBH it's because i'm burned out... not on Carbonite, I love working on that.. but on WoW in general, i'm finding just playing the game like a second job in the requirements to keep a character going.. and finally cracked, calling it quits on raiding, and leveling, and gearing... which has also hurt the time I have to work on it as I don't even want to be logged on. Being on last night and working on it for a couple hours was a step towards getting over that.
Rythal, thank you for taking the time to reply. I understand completely what it's like to get "burned out" playing the game. It happens to me too, but in my case, it happens usually when I've encountered vaguely-worded quests that I can't figure out or accomplish alone. I take a break or work on professions, etc. Hell, even starting a new char is often fun and it reminds me why I purchased WoW in the first place! In your case (since you are trying to fix things in Pandaria) you need to have a char level high enough to play there -- and, it sounds like you have one. I'm not sure why you have to do 'raiding'? Personally, I hate that aspect of the game. The overwhelming chaos, noise, flashing, and all the activity drives me nuts. Raiding is only 1% of the game; 99% of the game is elsewhere, so I avoid it.

I'm really surprised that nobody else has joined you in working on the code, quest database, etc. with the exception of JimJoBlue, and a few others. It seems to me that his numerous submissions saved you much time and effort. I thought that after Carbonite was released as "Open Source" that many of the available great coding experts would be happy to help. Obviously, if you are basically the only one working on it, it is an overwhelming task, or at least a very time-consuming effort.

I don't know how to code or even where to get the information you need to have. And, as Crazzzi posted:
if there is a way for some of us to maybe test one or 2 bits out i'd be glad to help
Rythal, you can include me into that offer, as well. I'll do what I can, but you'll have to advise me on just what I need to do.
