Adding to the POI database, a few questions.

I'm editing the original post here to explain a little about this thread and to help others if they want to add this to the beta.
The files are located in the Carbonite\Data\Guides folder.
If you want to add it yourself just open the files up with notepad++ and copy, paste away..

If you want to help (Or you think I'm going too slow, lol) Rythal has made it super easy...

I'll break down one of the entry's for you...

[465] = "1,54.2,62.6|2,54.2,41.6",
[465] = "1,54.2,62.6|2,54.2,41.6",

Zone/Map Id, Get this from Carbonite\Data\Zones.lua
Affiliation 0 for Neutral, 1 for Alliance and 2 for Horde.
Co-ord - Get this either in game or from Wowhead..
Next NPC If in the same map.




Original post:~
I'm sitting here trying to figure out If I can contribute to the database in some way and I've been looking at the Guide.lua file in the data folder. With the hope I can add to it.

Alot of Byte code in there, but at the end I see there is flight master data that I can understand.

["N,6,810,74.42,81.42"]="Gao-Ran Battlefront, Townlong Steppes", Is an example

Just for clarification, is the above ["(faction alignment),(continent),(zone ID),(horizontal co-ord),(height co-ord)"]="(Info displayed in carb), (info title displayed in carb)",
^is this correct?

My other question is could I write the data and hand it to you Rythal to implement in to Carb
e.g ~Under the Warrior trainer section for the trainer in Exodar.

["A,1,471,55.00,83.04"]="Warrior Trainer, Ahonan", (next entry .etc)

^ Is that format correct?



If I am on the right track here I'll start writing the missing parts and the parts in byte code from wowhead and put it in a text file or post it here for implementation into the addon. Slow I know but I want to help..
If I'm wrong, a kind shove in the right direction would be appreciated.
