Harven's Custom Map Pins (Markers) Updated this week!

Version: 3.2.3

by: Harven, votan

Dependencies

Version 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.

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.

How to export and import pins
Importing/exporting between different clients (en,de,fr) is currently not supported but you can still share your pins in game.
Remember to make a backup copy of the HarvensCustomMapPins.lua file so when you make a mistake you will not lose all your pins. You can safely edit the file only when you are logged out from the game.
Your pins are stored in HarvensCustomMapPins.lua file. The file is located in the following directory:

Code:

US Megaserver:
%userprofile%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables
EU Megaserver
%userprofile%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\SavedVariables

To export your pins:
Logout from the game (this will ensure that the pins are saved), and open aforementioned file with your favorite text editor - notepad for example

. First find a section corresponding to your account name, for example ["@theharven"]. Then inside this section find ["$AccountWide"] section and ["pins"] section inside it. There you have your pins. A single pin looks like this:

Lua Code:

[39623816] = 
{
  ["color"] = 
  {
    [4] = 1,
    [1] = 0,
    [2] = 0.164706,
    [3] = 1,
   },
   ["map"] = [[Deshaan]],
   ["x"] = 0.396241,
   ["description"] = [[The Armor of the Seducer]],
   ["y"] = 0.381576,
},

Just copy the pins you like to export.

To import pins:
Logout from the game and open the same file. At the begining of the file create new section ["import"] and paste your pins there, so the begining of the file will look like this:

Lua Code:

HarvensCustomMapPins_SavedVariables =
{
    ["import"] =
    {
        [28266574] = 
        {
            ["color"] = 
            {
                [1] = 1,
                [2] = 0.929412,
                [3] = 0,
                [4] = 1,
            },
            ["description"] = [[TEST3]],
            ["y"] = 0.657373,
            ["x"] = 0.282608,
            ["map"] = [[Stormhold]],
        },
        [65376334] = 
        {
            ["color"] = 
            {
                [1] = 0,
                [2] = 0.423529,
                [3] = 1,
                [4] = 1,
            },
            ["description"] = [[TEST2]],
            ["y"] = 0.633373,
            ["x"] = 0.653681,
            ["map"] = [[Stormhold]],
        },
    },

Then save the file, login to the game and type /importpins command. You should see some informations about the import.

IMPORTANT CHANGE:
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.

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.

Warning: Spoiler it looks like: but it should look like: I don't understand how it works that the dialog can expand itself while the dimensions of the Edit Dialog is fixed in the HarvensCustomMapPins.xml Code: <TopLevelControl name="HarvensCustomMapPinsEditDialog" inherits="ZO_CustomDialogBase"> <Dimensions x="550" y="256" /> with y="512" it would be big enough, but then the dialog is always big Code: <TopLevelControl name="HarvensCustomMapPinsEditDialog" inherits="ZO_CustomDialogBase"> <Dimensions x="550" y="512" /> Last edited by Maxxermax : 03/15/23 at 04:43 PM.

Warning: Spoiler

OCDCoder Forum posts: 0 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Awesome addon! I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature to export pins without having to log out. My game isn't the most stable at times and I have this fear of adding dozens of pins and then having the game crash on me before they get saved. (It looked like at least some get stored in the SavedVariables file without having to re-log, but I can't tell if they all are or not.)

Yes. These functions are available:

function HarvensCustomMapPins:GetTileAndFloorFromCurrentMap()
function HarvensCustomMapPins:GetCurrentMapPins()
function HarvensCustomMapPins:GetMapPins(tileName, currentFloor)
function HarvensCustomMapPins:GetOrCreateMapPins(tileName, currentFloor)
function HarvensCustomMapPins:AddPinToCurrentMap(x, y, description, icon, color, predefined)
function HarvensCustomMapPins:FindPinOnCurrentMap(x, y, radius)

Thanks for the pointer. I did not see where you put it into the global scope.

I just wanna go through the map and add an overlay to the spot (in GOLD) for all the tales of tribute locations. Just to easily see where they are at a glance in cities and regional maps Thanks again for all of your wonderful add-ons. I use most of em!
