"DEV" version: Carbonite Map(s) Observations

First, let me say that I'm posting this here in the DEV subforum instead of the Carbonite "Maps" subforum only because I'm using the latest GitHub "DEV" files. I am NOT a developer, but I thought this might be the best place to post this, since it is not the "Live" version, and the "Live" version is not up-to-date.

This is lengthy, so I hope you don't mind. I also added a few images because each one of them illustrates the observations I had better than text might do.

========
OBSERVATIONS
1. While I'm standing in Pandaria/Valley of the Four Winds/Sunsong Ranch (Halfhill) and clicking on the red question mark "?" in Carbonite to locate MAILBOXES, both of the Carbonite map views go berserk.
2. Neither one of the views displays an icon for a Mailbox (where I am), even though I'm standing only five (5) feet away from one.
3. The Carbonite arrow (attached to its long dashed line) is pointing to what it considers the 'closest' Mailbox, but it is on a different continent from where I am! It is pointing the The Abyssal Depths, 12,313 yards away from me! And, that's the ONLY Mailbox it shows.
4. Quite often, whenever I move my mouse cursor slightly over the area in which I'm standing in Pandaria/Valley of the Four Winds/Sunsong Ranch (Halfhill), the map will change to a totally different view of the world. It displays a map of the World (Draenor)!
5. Neither of the two sizes of the Carbonite map display POI icons, even though that option is turned "on" in Carbonite's Options.
6. My character's cursor moves randomly from place to place into different zones, even while I'm standing still in Pandaria/Valley of the Four Winds/Sunsong Ranch (Halfhill). Often, it disappears completely from Carbonite map views.

There are several other issues as well, but I'm not including them here.
NOTE 1. *** The Blizzard Minimap is NOT merged into Carbonite's larger-view map. That's how I want it.
NOTE 2: *** I realize that Carbonite uses only one (1) map in two (2) different sizes. However, each one of them has its own API. They DO NOT display the same things as each other, or as the Blizzard Minimap displays unless EACH CARBONITE MAP API is programmed to do so.


Forum allows only 4 images per post, so some are missing.

EDITED:
REFERENCE: I'M USING THE LATEST GITHUB "DEV" VERSION OF THESE CHOICES:
* Carbonite Maps
* Carbonite Warehouse
* Carbonite Quests
*** I am not using any other addons at all, except for the Auctioneer Addon.

POI's are missing on some areas

An issue with Carbonite Map: (Most recent DEV version) as of June 23rd, 2015)

I've noticed that there are several places in the game where the Carbonite map (both the larger and smaller views) do NOT display POI icons. Sometimes (like on Timeless Isle) it will show only a Flightmaster icon and nothing else. Yet, there are plenty of POI's to navigate to. Running around on a riding mount to hunt for them is frustrating but, it can be done. It would be easier to know where they are located without hunting for them blindly. This is not a major issue although it would help gaming as far as time and ease of use. Not complaining! Just an observation and a suggestion.

No one has dumped the POI's for timeless isle so there isn't any for it to know.

I think what kreelor means is that most POI's doesn't show on maps,

handynotes function worked until 6.2 going live


POI for flightpoints show only if you zoom in far in (minimap look on mainmap)(only tested on draenor so far)


I know some poi's are missing but most aren't shown

Sorry Rythal but, I don't know what that means "No one has dumped the POI's....". Are you saying that you can't add POI's to your Carbonite map views? Or, are you waiting for someone to provide them to you?

Doing the code has always been my priority, and focus. Updating the data has been done by some people in the past (mostly Jimjoblue). If it ever reaches a point I can relax in fixing things I may do it myself, but there is still so much to be done. (Finishing dungeon level support, updating weekly for 6.2, changing NPC data structure, reintroducing Carbonite Items and more)

Very strange, i'm running exactly the same setup... I can zoom out to world view and still see all the handy notes icons (albeit very tiny)

Can you try replacing astrolab in handynotes with this version? it's a custom one i'm using (originally from Zygor) to fix map problems, but I don't see why it should affect icons but just to make sure.

Had nothing to do with astrolabe, using yours now.

But found out why not functioning.


I had cleared all my Cache / Interface / wtf files.


So I had no notes stored and here comes the failure.


Without any notes the table has no headline only "?" just added a note with "Test" and then Handynotes come up


seen in Picture




Only think now scale for carb flightpoint to make it greater would be nice

Handynotes? I'm not using it and, I wish I knew if was required in order for common Blizzard icons to be displayed on the Carbonite map views.

Managed to added two icons to the Carbonite map on Timeless Isle. I modified the following .lua files to include the Zone for Pandaria/Timeless Isle. They are:

Innkeeper.lua
Added the following at the very bottom of the .lua file:
Code:
    [951] = "0,36.6,47.0",
Mailbox.lua
I added the following at the very bottom of the .lua file:
Code:
    [951] = "0,37.0,46.8",
I had a third one <Stable Master> showing up for about 1/2 hour but, then it stopped showing up and after 3 hours of trying I still couldn't get it to show up again! It does show up when I use the Carbonite map "Guide" to locate a Stable Master. The icon finally shows up and the arrow with the dashed line points right to it. However, once I get to it, it vanishes again. I just wish I knew why that Stable Master icon won't display and stay there. Oh, well. I am not experienced with coding lua, obviously.

I know you said you were busy with more important things Rythal but, maybe someday you can give me a clue?

My thought was it could be possible that it is somehow sticked together,

but your right it is missing Data


the problem with stablemaster i cannot figure out for the moment but I will have a look if
I can add data about Inkeepers, mailbox etc.


From what I know data is missing up from Timeless Isle


will have a look next days
