Harven's Custom Map Pins (Markers) Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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. (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.

Naede Forum posts: 0 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	Yes, that what I have think. I save the file after each change. That's the only solution I have for the moment. For the moment, I do also screenshot of pin I place to remember me to change the .lua. Automate this manip were easier. Thanks for your help. Last edited by Naede : 05/13/14 at 05:49 AM.

Hey, the file HarvensCustomMapPins.lua is shared between all your characters. So you must copy and paste only a single section of this file - the section with pins from your main character and paste it to the sections of your other characters.

To explain it in more simple way, here's how the HarvensCustomMapPins.lua file looks like:

Lua Code:

...
["YourMainCharacterName"] = 
{
-- here are the pins of your main character
},
 
["YourOtherCharacterName_1"] = 
{
-- here are the pins of your second character
},
 
["YourOtherCharacterName_2"] = 
{
-- here are the pins of your third character
},
...

So you must copy the content of ["YourMainCharacter"] section to other's charactes sections.

Better, when you put the pin, to choose if you want to do that for account or character?

Yes it is possible to make. But that kind of change in the addon will probably make all your existing pins lost. I will think about this.

In order to share a pin for all my characters, I must copy/paste this pin for all in the .lua. Have you a way to put pins for the account and not for the character?

Harven Forum posts: 135 File comments: 275 Uploads: 31	Hey Naede, There is no easy way to do this, but it's possible. Before you proceed you must logout from the game. Then open this file in notepad: for eu megaserver: Code: %USERPROFILE%/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/liveeu/SavedVariables/HarvensCustomMapPins.lua for us megaserver: Code: %USERPROFILE%/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/SavedVariables/HarvensCustomMapPins.lua Inside this file find your source character name, in my case it's this line: Code: ["Heseoden"] = Then copy everything from next "{" character to corresponding "}," characters, in my case it will be: Code: { ["version"] = 1, ["pins"] = { [47914972] = { ["y"] = 0.497218, ["x"] = 0.479138, ["map"] = [[Mournhold]], ["description"] = [[test]], }, }, ["y"] = 0, ["point"] = 128, ["x"] = 0, ["relPoint"] = 128, }, Now find you destination character, and replace everyting witin "{...}," block with the copied text, so then the other character block will by like this: Code: ["Harven"] = { ["version"] = 1, ["pins"] = { [47914972] = { ["y"] = 0.497218, ["x"] = 0.479138, ["map"] = [[Mournhold]], ["description"] = [[test]], }, }, ["y"] = 0, ["point"] = 128, ["x"] = 0, ["relPoint"] = 128, }, Then save, exit and login.

I try and that's good, I can delete pin. This action can only be made on few pixels (bottom mat of the flag, when the pin's label appear), that's why I don't see it before.

Thanks for your answer.

Harven Forum posts: 135 File comments: 275 Uploads: 31	What you mean by restarting the client? Addons settings are saved when you logout or quit the game. If you restart by killing the game process or if the game crashes or exit in some other unexpected way the changes you made in the addon's settings will be lost. Maps pins are kept in the addon's settings since there is no other way to store them. Starburst, you now how it is, competition makes us better

Now if I release it, it will look like I copied yours Actually, I really like how yours is simply built and editable right into the map. I didn't know that was possible, so I went with a UI window. Great job

Harven Forum posts: 135 File comments: 275 Uploads: 31	hey, nothing like that happens in my case. Try to disable other addons and then check again.
