Harven's Custom Map Pins (Markers)  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 3.2.3
by: Harven, votan
DependenciesVersion 3.1 is a major update! Please backup your SavedVariable.

Description
This addon allows you to place your own markers anywhere on the map. You can place them by typing a command in the chat window or by pressing 'x' key (default) when the map is open. Then a dialog window will appear that allows you to enter the marker description. You can delete and edit markers in the map window by pressing left mouse button on a marker and selecting corresponding item from context menu. There is also an option to share a pin with other players who have this addon installed. Select the "Share" option from the context menu and some text will paste to the chat window entry field. Don't change that text! Just choose a suitable channel and press enter. Requests that arrive at zone, say and yell channels are ignored.

Commands
- /custompin - will place a marker at your position,
- /importpins - will import pins stored in the ["import"] section of the HarvensCustomMapPins.lua file. Read below for more details. (Still available, but out-dated)

How to add your own pin textures
- Create your 64x64px pin texture (must be .dds format - there is a Gimp plugin which can export to this format),
- Copy texture file to the addon folder (the one with "pinflag.dds" file) - (Optionally you can create a new folder within AddOns folder, lets say "MyCustomIcons" and put texture file there),
- Edit Icons.lua file and add your texture filename at the end (take notice how other filenames look like),
- type /reloadui in the chat window - that's it.

How to use colours
When entering pins description you can use colour markers. To start some color simply write |cRRGGBB where RR is a red compoment in hex, GG - green component and BB - blue component. To end the colour, write |r. Look at the third screenshot for exapmple.

Import/Export pins
Beggining from version 1.5 all custom pins are account wide (the same pins will be visible to all your characters). To import your pins from other characters just login to the game with those characters. The pins will be imported automatically.

Share pins
Clicking on a pin, there is an menu entry "Share". It will create a chat link. You can send it to any channel or copy the selection to the clipboard and store it outside of ESO.
Everyone, having this addon installed as well, can click on that link and gets a dialog to confirm the pin.
The dialog will tell you whether the pin is new or would replace an existing one.

Donations (for versions up to 2.1)
If you like my work you can make me happy by sending some in-game gold/items to @theharven on EU server (but please, no lockpicks ), eventually you can help me pay my monthly subscription by donating some money.

[Edit 09.31.2015]
Since monthly subscription is no longer required to play the game I decided to transfer all future dontations to charity. There is a polish site where you can chose a person you would like to support (mostly children) https://www.siepomaga.pl/. I will be anonymously transfering your donations there, to a person of my choosing and then I will post a link in The Great Donor Hall so you will know who gets your money I would love to help this people so I hope this doesn't discourages you from donating.

Hey, there might be a bug when sharing map markers by whisper.
I'm not sure though if it is related to German client only.


When sharing a custom pin, the location name contains formatting chars. For instance "Grahtwald^N,in". There is no popup message appearing for the person i sent it to. I have to remove "^,in" to make it work.

With the workaround it gets shared. But after a while I receive my own messages back, with a popup window asking me to add custom pins. When I accept these pins, my original pins will be deleted and no new ones added.

That way you could accidentaly delete all the pins you sent.

Anyone else with German or French client having the same problems?

Just thought of this - what about a "legend" of sort that could show over the map but only at full zone-level zoom-out (but with its text always visible)? Perfect for screenshots! Separate add-on idea?

That, alone, is great info. An infrequent reminder couldn't hurt.

I can make it a little easier by creating an "import" section in the file, so when you paste some pins there, the addon will merge them in to your account-wide section automatically when you log in.
An import section would be something. That way, we could post it to the guildies as a text file with a walkthrough of how to import them.

Hey,
I'm glad you like it

about the crashes, lost pins and import/export: the game API doesn't allow us to write/read to/from any files. The only one exception is file called "saved variables", but we have no control of when the file content is saved. In this file the addon stores your pins. The file content is loaded into the memory when you log in and then the memory content is written to the file when you log out/quit or when you do /reloadui. So to make sure that your pins are safe, you can type /reloadui each time you add a new pin. Addons are allowed to issue the command automatically but the UI reloading takes some time and the loading screen appears so it's not that user friendly. I can show a reminder in the chat window after adding some amount of pins (librarian addon does it like that).
so to import/export (remember to make a backup of your saved variable file): the only way is to logout from the game and then manually edit "saved variables" file. The file consists of some number of sections, one for each of your characters and one account-wide. The pins are contained in the account-wide section, so to export, just copy this section and share it with others. Then you can import by pasting some pins to your account-wide section. I can make it a little easier by creating an "import" section in the file, so when you paste some pins there, the addon will merge them in to your account-wide section automatically when you log in.

The option to save last pin colour - will be done.

LOVE the pin colour. I'm fishing in-game so it lets me colour-code the water types so I don't have to check tooltips and NOW I can share those pins with other fishers!


Couple of notes: With the ESO client being imperfect, crashes happen. I've noticed (painfully) that any pins made before a crash are lost. Could there be an auto-save or a manual force integrated?


Secondly, how about an import/export option? As I build up my list of fishing holes, I'd very much like to be able to save them with guildies.

Lastly, an option for making the newest pin the same colour as the last automatically? It's saving the info on the colour wheel but it's not actually /in use/.

Awesome awesome. Thank you very much. And yes I do mean the compass.

Also, is there a way to add more text area to the edited description of the pin?

So instead of an entire map populated with white icons from all the points of interest on it...it would show Blue Map Pins or Green ones, or red ones, amongst all the default white icons from other areas.

Also, it it possible to have Pins that are placed on the map, have an associated Icon show up on the Navigation bar?
