Why I not see any icon ?

TODO :

Add the icon on compass
Add more info on icon tooltip

Hi all, I'm sorry for the delay to answer you

Thank you for this addon!

This is the first time I've installed this addon.

I added a FAQ part on the addon description for future case.
At this time, this kind of issues possible sources are :

not restarting the game after installing the addon (texture file needs to restart the game to be loaded)
map's instance have changed
you're not on the map (or the instance) when the dragon pops or takes off (currently it's the only way to have the landing location)

But maybe there are other cases I don't know

Hi,
I checked it today, stayed on North Elsweyr, waiting to see for 15min (I was logged out for inactivity). The icon displays well and the dragon lands on it. So it seems to work.
There is now a new version, only to follow change on the used library (change for High Isle world events), so I don't think it will change anything

Maybe try updating the addon and library?
If it still doesn't work for you, I appreciate all the information you have, such as the zone where you have the bug, and addon & library versions

Acadian Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Very helpful Addon! Thanks so much for providing this Addon! I've been using it for a couple days to hunt dragons during a busy event and it really makes the difference in being able to get to the fight in time. Before installing, I was finding myself arriving after the dragon was dead over a quarter of the time. Now, I can almost always make the fight and sometimes even arrive before the dragon! Makes a great difference when hunting dragons.

Thank to report the issue.
I have also seen it yesterday when I was watching the Mukmire map for a guild mate and see the dragon location icon has popped.
I do a fix today but I'm really tired today so I prefer to wait later or tomorrow to do a double-check before publishing the fix.

Thanks from saving me from the "Dragon Chaser" title.

Thanks

About the icon position, I see during this event (it didn't happen during the last dragon event) that the icon takes a position when the dragon pop, and move to another position 1 or 2 second after. I use events fire by the game api, so I don't really know why it does that. However I suppose it's not this case you had. The only idea I could have about this issue is an instance's switch when you use a wayshrine (if you use it). I'm not sure my addon can detect that, and it's not easy to test it.
