ScrySpy

Version: 1.42

by: Sharlikran [More]

Thanks to the community

I appreciate all the in game bow emotes and thanks. However, so you do not think I am being rude, I only have whisper, group and guild chat enabled. If anyone has tried to say a kind and subtle thank you I didn't see it. You are welcome. If you see me in game on the NA server and wish to say thanks you can whisper me if you like instead. Although I do reload my UI over and over testing changes, so I may not see it. You can try though. Thank you all for using the mod.

I Scry with my little eye...

ScrySpy is a mod I created for tracking Dig Locations similar to how HarvestMap tracks Harvest nodes. If you are satisfied with your elite scrying skills then this is not for you.

ScrySpy collects locations you visit. I have included what locations I found to test with. However, it records and draws the locations you find as you use the mod just like HarvestMap.

If you are like me knowing approximately where I have to go is helpful to me so I thought I'd share.

Requires:

LibMapPins - LibMapPins
LibGPS - LibGPS
Lib3D - Lib3D
CustomCompassPins - CustomCompassPins
LibAddonMenu - LibAddonMenu
LibMapData - LibMapData

Previously asked...

Q: Can you add something to detect when you have already scryed for something, and then you start scrying again for something different?
A: No. Because there is no Scrying functions. I barely came with with what I have. ZOS doesn't want this automated.

The game does not provide a way for me to get the scrying locations based on the blob on the map, the size of the blob, and all the points within the blob. What I do is the best I can do with what I found from ZOS. So I can not detect the location of multiple blobs on a single map or multiple maps and then draw the pins. In addition to that the pins show from all zones regardless of where you are so that's why they show and hide automatically depending on whether or not you are scrying.

Credits:

Shinni for his patience while I asked about why pins didn't draw on the map.
Scootworks for helping me learn both LibMapPins and Lib3D. It allowed me to have map pins in 2D and once you are at the Digsite locations a 3D pin.

German translation: Baertram
Russian translation: adjutantt
French translation: ChtiClem
Spade Icon: Zinival

1.42

- Updated algorithm for determining the size of the digstie so more pins are displayed (Still a work in progress)
- Updated showing and hiding pins when there are active digsites
- Updated SavedVariables so be sure to check your settings

1.41

- Address issue with saved variables locations being excluded from the location pool

1.40

- Pre PTS Version

1.39

- Pre PTS Version

1.38

- Added Japanese Translation (snorunt361)
- Updated Spanish Translation (Inval1d)

1.37

- Pre PTS Version

1.36

- Updated method to display notification that the Scrying information is unavailable. You will be told to get closer to the polygon for the digsites and then use /ssrefresh. This mainly happens when you scry in a city since the city map doesn't have the ZOS compass pin assigned to the CITY MAP it is assigned to the ZONE you are in.

1.35

- Part 2 of 3: Better scaling for detecting the polygon's size based on map zoom. There is no API for what I want to do but I'm still investigating how to obtain the location of the polygon better, how big it is, and how to use the map zoom. It's not really anything ZOS designed for mod authors to mess with.

Still working on better alternatives.

1.34

- Part 1 of 3: Fix for pins not showing. ZOS did make changes that effectively broke what I was previously using.

I will have a better fix in the next version. No ETA.

1.33

- Pre PTS Version

1.32

- Added Polish translation tomkolp

1.31

- Added Spade icon by Zinival

1.30

1.20

- Update for french client.

1.19

1.16

- Update for Eyevea Map Name fix in LibMapPins

1.15

- Fix for 3D pin color being blank when you have a new SavedVariables file

1.14

- All pins automatically hide when there are no active dig sites
- Only Map Pins, Compass Pins, and 3D Pins show up that are within a certain distance of the polygon, or polygons if there is more than one.

Sharlikran Forum posts: 535 File comments: 1925 Uploads: 15	@dracon I will look into it and see if it's getting locations from the saved variables. Warning: Spoiler I have been testing this pretty extensively. Bare with me, there are some issues I cannot overcome that have been mentioned previously. You can not scry from any city and not from some wayshrines. This is because of how the map information is controlled by the game. There is a chat message that will tell you that the map information was not available and it tells you the slash command to use when you get closer to the dig site polygon. So that's the first thing. This mod acts like HarvestMap with the exception that it doesn't have any exe or other means to import locations. You have to collect the locations yourself. I do provide some but please read previous posts as I don't accept submissions. There are too many issues with doing that. So there is a chance you don't have enough locations yet to see any pins. Because the 3D pins persist through the world from any zone you have visited I turn them off unless you have an active dig site. So you will never see pins after you finish digging and you won't see the pin while you are doing the mini game to dig up the antiquity. When I am in an area where I know I have pins the only real issue I have is that the game doesn't tell me the size of the polygon. I have to use an arbitrary size for the polygon and have tried several zones with different sizes of polygons. It's not perfect but for the most part pins will show up within the polygons where I have excavated previously. For me to test anything I would have to have a screen shot of the zone and the polygon. Then I could use the green antiquity that doesn't require a lead. I would have to dig up an antiquity within the same polygon. However, I would appreciate it if you tried that first. Only because there have been several times lately that I have been digging somewhere that I have previously excavated and I can see the 3D pins. Last edited by Sharlikran : 05/08/23 at 02:32 PM.

Hi Sharlikran!
I cannot see the pins through objects. For HarvestMap, I have "Use depth-buffer for 3D pins" turned "OFF" because I prefer to see pins through the terrain and such. Unfortunately, ScrySpy's pins don't act the same way.
Would it be possible for you to also include that option in ScrySpy?

Nope because I use a system to simply turn them on when you are close to the digsite and turn them off when you are not. I see them through the terrain. So maybe the way Shinni manages HarvestMap stuff with Lib3D affects ScrySpy but that's not really a bug to me. If I could I would not show the pin until you were within a certain distance because I don't like them showing through terrain. In fact if ZOS gave us a better 3D API I would ask them to add things so that collision layers were used so you can't see the pin behind a rock.

It's sorta functioning as intended for now. Sorry.

Most other addons would activate by just going back to login, mabye it was something on my end. Anyway, it works now so I'm happy Really useful, cause I can't for the life of me remember all those spots in every single zone.

It should have worked in the past the way it was, but just in case I altered how the notification that the scrying location is unavailable is displayed in chat. So if you see the notification and are told to use /ssrefresh then you are standing somewhere that has nothing to do with the digsite. For example if you are in Western Skyrim but you are in Solitude, the City has nothing to do with the digsite location so the game will not provide me with access to the digsite from the Solitude map. You have to leave the city first. If you go to another small city outside of a major city the same will probably happen.

To make it easier on yourself, always jump (to a wayshrine) that is not in a city or town. Then if you don't see any pins that's because you have not discovered any at that location yet. As noted on the description page you collect the locations as you go. Any I have provided are simply a bonus.

I installed it, including all dependencies, but not matter what, I can't get it to show anything on the map or in the 3D view. I really like the excavation mechanic, but I hate remembering where all the different dig sites are. With some of the larger areas, you might run around for a while before you've finally spotted it and that's not really fun. So I would be very happy, if you could look into this. Thank you

ZOS changed some things that broke the system I was using. It worked for me because I expect to see the pin appear when it is a new pin, disappear after I acquire the antiquity, and I do not have pins for the new DLC.

I'm still looking into how I can do it better but for now I have a temporary fix. If you see pins outside the polygon then I can't help that until I find a better way to determine the size of the polygon and how to scale everything depending on the map's zoom factor.

I've also noticed that when doing two excavations in a row in the same area, the icons/3Dpin for the first excavation don't show up.
Hope this helps.

Not really because that is how it works. The icons only appear if you have an active site and only close to the site. I don't show every single pin in the game because if I do you can see them from other zones through rocks and mountains. Also I can not get the information about the digsite when it isn't available. Meaning that when you are in the city for example you won't have any pins on the map and there is a chat message tells you it isn't going to work.

It still records them. I have checked before. I will have to see if ZOS changed anything that might prevent things from being displayed but I don't think so.
