2.1 update

hi topic!

I've asked Cairenn for being added to Khrill's addons teams. At least Post-It as i rely on it for one of my addons.

but I won't pretend i'll be able to patch them all quickly. I'd start with API bump and UI errors if needed.

good, good

Not taken, just co-supported, as I am still around but not as much as I used to at the moment

Warning for all addons with map coordinates :

somes changes :


Craglorn :
You'll need to add ~0.005 to X axis
You'll need to add ~0.005 to Y axis

Alik'r :

See under


Exemples :


Treasure Map Crag I : [17:15] Raidelorn: 28,62×62,07 (craglorn/craglorn_base) : Lost Treasure Addon : {0.2816, 0.6162, [[Craglorn Treasure Map I]]
Treasure Map Crag III : [16:57] Raidelorn: 70,44×55,92 (craglorn/craglorn_base) : Lost Treasure Addon : {0.7004, 0.5541, [[Craglorn Treasure Map III]]
Treasure Map Crag IV : [16:52] Raidelorn: 65,54×67,08 (craglorn/craglorn_base) : Lost Treasure Addon : {0.6505, 0.6662, [[Craglorn Treasure Map IV]]


[17:36] le désert d'Alik'r: 22,23×56,78 (alikr/alikr_base) <--- LIVE position of Santaki's delve in Alik'r
{ 0.178, 0.578, 556, 14, 2 } <-- Skyshard reference


A good map :






A wrong map :






I've checked all map, seems only thoses 2 were modified.

[Ayantir]

Little update for Alik'r map problem :




Sounds like the map is simply smaller than before, so all coordinates are now a bit more far from center of map.

@Map authors : Is someone motivated to write a correcting formula ?

I'm too bad in mathematics for that

PS: Maybe need to check other maps as lot of people report that "pins" are few meters aways of good position

Take the left-most and the right-most shard (to minimize error), compute distance in X coordinate (old_dx be their distance in old add-on data, new_dx be their current distance).
scale_x = new_dx / old_dx
offset_x = new_x - old_x * scale_x

Similarly for Y.

function translate_old_coords(x, y)
return x * scale_x + offset_x, y * scale_y + offset_y
end

Or better update the data with translated values, it would get really messy when coords change again.

One suggestion that might be a pain to implement at first, but could pay off if coordinates change often. Pick two fixed points on each map, preferably not too close to each other, but also close enough to the "entry point" so that the player discovers them early. Once discovered, you can compute the correct map scale and offset from those two points' coordinates (actual versus those stored in the add-on), and adjust all other points accordingly.

In Craglorn both X and Y axis were shifted by +0.00465837121010, so it will be easy to fix.


Alik'r Desert will be a bit more complicated. I don't have exact coordinates to compare, so here it will be much less accurate. However it seems that map was scaled down to cca 87% of previous size.

Dungeons:
(name) - (new coordinates) / (old coordinates)
Aldunz - 0.6412, 0.6435 / 0.659, 0.665
Coldrock Diggings - 0.6482, 0.3484 / 0.667, 0.326
Divad's Chagrin Mine - 0.4054, 0.5892 / 0.382, 0.596
Sandblown Mine - 0.8312, 0.5806 / 0.877, 0.592
Santaki - 0.2224, 0.5678 / 0.178, 0.578
Yldzuun - 0.9008, 0.5207 / 0.957, 0.524
Lost City of the Na-Totambu - 0.7050, 0.3890 / 0.732, 0.373

You have to count with distance from the center, not from the top / left side.

scale_x = (new_dx - 0.5) / (old_dx - 0.5)
scale_y = (new_dy - 0.5) / (old_dy - 0.5)

function translate_old_coords(x, y)
return 0.5 + ((x - 0.5) * scale_x), 0.5 + ((y - 0.5) * scale_y)
end

Hey!
Using my house hunter addon I see following maps changed:
- Mournhold,
- Windhelm,

There are probably more - these are only the ones I visited (EP and DC) and some I visited before I created house hunter.

No. new_dx and old_dx are X-distances between two POIs. Map center is not involved in my formula, precisely because the whole map might be shifted, in which case rescaling is not enough.

Maybe you should consider switching to global coordinates sometime.
