TrueExploration

Until now you've had some magical atlas with a map for every zone, dungeon and even the daedric planes. Not anymore! With this addon, you have to "draw" your own maps.
Each map will start as an empty piece of paper, but as you travel and explore tamriel, your character will draw everything he/she sees.

This Addon is usefull for exploration fans and completionists, who don't want the exact locations revealed as in Destinations.

This addon is compatible with AUI's minimap and Votan's minimap.

Chat commands (should be used while the world map is opened):
/tedebug 1 activates debug mode
/tedebug 0 deactivates debug mode
While in debug mode, you can "draw" the map with your mouse. left mouse button to discover an area, right button to "forget" it again.

/discover completely discovers the currently displayed map.
/undiscover removed the previously set discovered flag.
/clearmap completely clears the saved data for currently displayed map.

Additionally the view radius and the opaqueness of the undiscovered texture can be set in the addon's menu.
ESC -> Settings -> Addon Settings -> TrueExploration

If you enjoy slow and immersive gameplay, try SlowDialogs.

Inspired by pills' HeatMapR.

static Forum posts: 3 File comments: 2 Uploads: 0	Compatibility Question Is this compatible with Destinations? I like the immersion and completionism this allows but once I've discovered something, I like the 'map-marking' of Destinations. Will the two work together? Will this 'bury' Destinations until discovered?

Vagrant Zero Forum posts: 1 File comments: 29 Uploads: 0	I've discovered that this addon when combined with FyrMiniMap creates microstutter every time MiniMap uncovers additional undiscovered area. Disabling either of these addons fixes the issue but I dearly love both. Any way around this problem? Last edited by Vagrant Zero : 03/24/15 at 03:03 PM.

Update for MiniMap by Fyrakin

A quick how-to on getting this working for the updated Fyrakin:

1) open TrueExploration.lua in your favourite text editor
2) find and replace all instances of "Zr" to "Fyr"
3) search for the following (on mine it's around line 523):

Code:

        elseif newState == SCENE_HIDING then
            if Fyr_MM_Scroll_Map then
                local w, h = Fyr_MM_Scroll_Map:GetDimensions()
                Fyr_MM_Scroll_Map:SetDimensions(w, h, true)
             end

---- and change it to:

Code:

       elseif newState == SCENE_HIDING then
            if Fyr_MM_Scroll_Map then
                local w, h = Fyr_MM_Scroll_Map:GetDimensions()
                Fyr_MM_Scroll_Map:SetDimensions(w, h, true)
                TrueExplor.RefreshTiles() -- BUGFIX: force update minimap when main map closes
            end
            ZO_Tooltips_HideTextTooltip() -- BUGFIX: deal with messed up tooltips after hiding main map

dominoid Forum posts: 34 File comments: 276 Uploads: 2	If you ever update this further there is a typo on line 416 (that might not be the original line number as I've made some custom alterations) Code: d("call /cleamap to remove data for this map completely.") obviously "cleamap" should read "clearmap". Also, currently the add-on doesn't continue to track newly discovered land when a map is marked "/discovered". The code I changed made it so that land is still discovered even when the map is /discovered. This came into play in Cyrodiil where I "needed" the map discovered to see it and be useful, but still wanted to know where I had been on the map. TIA

Grymdael Forum posts: 2 File comments: 22 Uploads: 0	Recently installed and love it. Great addon, it's a shame I didn't 'discover' this when I first started playing. The only observation that I'd like to make as a 'late' adopter at VR2, is that the addon isn't aware of 'where' you've been upon installation. Hence I had to retrace all my steps so to speak to fill in places already discovered prior to installation. While it might seem to defeat the purpose of the addon; the inclusion of a 'shade all as discovered' option would save time in cases like mine. If possible this would need to be a 'selective' option, i.e. by region, so as not to introduce any 'spoilers'. Great work and cheers. Edit: Since using this addon, I have begun to use MiniMap by Fyrakin which I really like. It's interesting to note that a comment has been made on the MiniMap addon page that there might be some changes required for TrueExploration to work with it. Would it be possible to update the addon so that it is compatible with MiniMap please. Last edited by Grymdael : 12/15/14 at 09:20 PM.

Shinni hi, thanks for the latest update.

I noticed something. Especially in dungeons, towns or on similar maps (but happens on everywhere) TE causes a stutter while discovering new areas. While walking on a discovered area, you feel a stutter but if you walk back the same path again this time it doesn't get stutter (or just a bit). Number of tiles that I let TE discover is around 2.5 on my settings which causes a stutter. When I take it back to 1, stutter impact decreases.

So basically, I think discovering high number of tiles at the same time causes stutter. Is it possible for you to add a buffer between tile discoveries?

PS. Btw, this not something happened after Minimap integration, its was there but I couldn't find the reason of stutter.

Kraeius Forum posts: 25 File comments: 249 Uploads: 3	After 1.4.3, when you open the world map first time, true exploration fog is looking normal, after first one, its always opening with full alpha value and stays like that unless you change zoom of the map. A quick fix would be great.

Fyrakin Forum posts: 129 File comments: 866 Uploads: 7	New callback to help with ZrMiniMap I added new callback in v1.57, it fires whn player enters new map, this is when you can start clearing data for the map which was left until you get another callback which will fire when MiniMap fully loads new map. To register for it: Lua Code: CALLBACK_MANAGER:RegisterCallback("OnZrMiniNewMapEntered", function() d("Player just entered new map...") end)

dominoid Forum posts: 34 File comments: 276 Uploads: 2	Is there an easy change I can make to allow the add-on to continue to map a territory when I have it in "/discover" mode? For example. I have /discover(ed) the Cyrodiil map - out of necessity, but I want it to still track where I've been so that when I /undiscover it, it works as "intended" and shows where I've been. Edit: I figured it out Last edited by dominoid : 09/12/14 at 07:22 AM.

dominoid Forum posts: 34 File comments: 276 Uploads: 2	Problem was with me. I had created a backup copy of your folder a while back because I was toying with the LUA and didn't want to permanently damage it. Both folders with different versions were, as expected, wreaking havoc. Sorry for the false alarm.

To register a callback add a line like this an change the function to whatever is needed:

Code:

CALLBACK_MANAGER:RegisterCallback("OnZrMiniMapChanged", function() d("MiniMap just changed...") end)

Other than that I am a little worried about the total number of (TE_...) textures in the container (about 2k), too many anchors or memory issues may arise if numbers are too extreeme. So far no issues encountered.

Thanks, that should reduce the amount of hacking into your code^^

One more thing, while looking at the place where you created TE_... textures, it would be easier to control them if there were in a separate child object under Zr_MM_Scroll_Map, you can still anchor them to map, but having it separate is easier them to enumerate. Another thing to cosider is to inherit color and opacity from a holding control so you can instantly hide/unhide the whole thing with one push.
