Votan's Improved Locations Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.22.3

Dependencies

LibAddonMenu

Description
On one hand, the "Locations" tab of the world-map does what it needs to do and all locations fit on screen without scrollbar.
On the other hand, it looks very bare and squeezed. Pseudo locations like "Tamriel" and "Aurbis" are mixed together with locations of all alliances, just in alphabetic order.

This add-on improves the "Locations" tab of the world-map window.

It adds a Most-Recent-Used list (MRU) to the top. Your currently last visited locations are the top five. (Similar to "Faster Travel", because it is an obvious useful feature )
The locations are grouped by alliance and your character's alliance will be the first, then Cadwell Silver, Gold.
~~Since 1.2.0 you can enable showing zone level.~~ <= Obsolete since "One Tamriel"
Since 1.3.0 you can enable showing "All Alliances" zones on top (below recent list).
Since 1.8.0 gamepad mode support.
Since 2.20.0 A re-written version of "Survey the World" from manavortex, with her permission.

Alliances are indicated by the icons: Scrolls, moon and sun. The scrolls indicate your character's main alliance, the crescent moon indicates Cadwell's Silver alliance, and the sun indicates Cadwell's Gold alliance. (Which is why Coldharbour is a scroll - since you only do that for the main alliance.)
The book with a down arrow indicates DLC/Chapters. The tower is for PvP zones.
The numbers indicate story order/DLC release order.

eleanorjean Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I am having issues after loading the new Votans locations. ESO keeps telling me the LibAsync and the LibHarvensAddonSettings files are missing. Both are clearly loaded in the correct folder. I can't determine why ESO is showing them as missing. I uninstalled and reloaded and still ESO indicates they are missing. Any advice?? Thank you

I'm finding it incredibly hard to know when i have an available lead anywhere without zoning to each and every one on my only antiquities toon. I don't want to spend over an hour a day (long load screens) or even an hour a week mindlessly zoning. And if I'm on a different toon, out questing, i can't even see the list of avail leads to know if i need to hop on my antiquities toon to go find them. 1. Is there any way account wide leads information can be added to the Locations tab like you have surveys, treasure maps, etc? Color coded (gold/purple/blue/green) if possible would be fantastic. I would be very sad if a gold lead expired. 2. Speaking of expiring, is there any way to indicate a soon to expire lead? Like 'warning! go get it right now!' If i'm missing something already ingame to indicate these things, i'd really appreciate someone pointing it out to me! btw, I passed on installing this addon for 2 years because i thought, meh. An alphabetical list is good enough. But a friend recommended i try it. I've found it increadibly useful. ty.

Thanks for reporting this. As I don't have a controller, I can not debug it, but I give my best.

Thank You! I look into it. ~~What I can say already is, that German is not affected.~~
I have a survey, not a treasure map. Who can read ...

^ You should definitely put that on the main description page!

Also, is there anything you can do to fix the Northern Elsweyr/Southern Elsweyr survey issue?
Today, I had a single Northern Elsweyr survey in my bag and both Elsweyrs had an asterisk by their name in the "Locations" map UI.
There was only 1 symbol to describe what kind of survey it is (due to your awesome implementation of "Show type of survey instead of generic scroll.") next to Northern Elsweyr, but why did Southern Elsweyr have an asterisk too if I didn't have any surveys to do there?
I imagine this will probably happen with treasure maps, too.
Is this something that can be fixed?

Ach f...
Another exception...
ok.

/edit: Can not reproduce. By the way: asterisk ?? Do you run the old from mana as well?

Yup! I still had the other Survey The World installed. Whoops. I've been using an old backup of my addons, because my last pc died unexpectedly. Sorry about that! Everything seems to be in working order now.
... Now I wonder what else is wrong with my addons ...

Yes, could be. I check that.

/edit: I checked: Great.... It works in German.... only.

Today's update has Alik'r working in the English client

The new icons are great too.

Thanks, Votan.
