Wink I need you for my database

Hello, I'm writing an addon which helps locating in capitals without having to ask a guard. For that I need a complete database which is hard to do alone as I don't have a lot of time to spend for that. I also tried to contact Wowhead but I didn't get any answer

So I need you to complete my database, and I wrote an addon which will automatically record when you ask a guard and save the position for the point of interest you want to go.
Then you just have to send me (by PM) your saved variable file (located at World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOUR_ACCOUNT_NAME\SavedVariables\TownLocator_Recorder.lua)

Thanks in advance

Edit: Moved thanks

I did the same with my currently unreleased addon

i've got Dalaran, Thunder Bluff, Orgrimmar and Undercity in my database:
http://github.com/xconstruct/FindYou...ter/cities.lua

My database format is maybe a bit strange, it consists of a string which holds multiple coordinates - 6 for each x/y-pair. So "528180439769" would translate to 52.8, 18.0 and 43.9, 76.9. You can find the parser-function in core.lua named "translateShort".

I would be interested in the missing capitals, too

That's cool, maybe we can share each other.
When I got some data I'll send you, but I think I'll try to find another way to record data as there can be several POI with the same name (I think, with the mailbox maybe).
