            float mapSize = ((64*16) * ((150.0f/36.0f)*8));
            float tileSize = 150.0f / 36.0f * 8 * 16;

            float absCoordX = (mapSize / 2) - WoW.Player.X + tileSize;
            float absCoordY = (mapSize / 2) - WoW.Player.Y + tileSize;

            int tileX = (int)(absCoordX / tileSize) - 1;
            int tileY = (int)(absCoordY / tileSize) - 1;

i dont actualy get it , this program work very well for me, but i mean..

Let's say im tracking titanium nodes.
Im flying around icecrown and then i see a titanium node on my minimap, then the raddar tell me they located a node (wich is the 1 ive just seen in my minimap)

So , is it useless for nodes? cause u can see ems in ur real minimap .

hehe at first i thinked it would track like time lost proto drake and tell me where he is atm , even if i was at Org or somethin..

Anyway +rep since its really good about tracking non-ingame tracking stuffs or w/e

AFAIK it see's further than your minimap.

But even if it doens't, it can track a second item. I collect herbs and I do mining on one of my toons, I can't track both. A radar can.

Thanks kynox

About the use of this program, as you said it's not especially useful if you just use it for mining, It's main strength comes in tracking a particular item, such a specific quest mob, an untrackable quest object you need to harvest, a rare mob spawn or even a particular player you are looking for.


Admittedly the tracking feature is somewhat simplistic at the moment but that is something I hope to improve.

Nice post Kynox; I was trying to think of where I might have seen that before, but is that Directly from the WoWSharp code or WoWBot code?

I think I might indulge myself a little into a read.

EDIT: Found the snippet under WoW!Radar of WoW!Sharp, thanks for the post @ Reading over it all now.

#2:

Looking over WoW!Radar's code, this might be something to indulge in for loading textures. SFmpqapi & BLP2API were used, read over the following code >>

All it's basically doing is calling it's two openers on the MPQ and texture, It loads the texture under the "minimap.filename" then pulls the BLP to a DXT1 if that doesn't pass, it resolves to loading it as a BLP to a TGA; Then drops the SFmpq files and mpq.

This is where I would suggest reading over the code and getting an understanding for it. If you don't have it download it @ http://www.wowsharp.net

        private void GetMinimapTexture( clsMinimap minimap)
        {
            int hMPQ = 0;
            int hFile = 0;
            int FileSize = 0;
            int FileRead = 0;

            //WoW.LogLine( "Opening {0}", WoW.GamePath + "\\Data\\texture.MPQ");
            if( SFmpq.SFileOpenArchive( WoW.GamePath + "\\Data\\texture.MPQ", 0, 0, ref hMPQ) != 1)
            {
                WoW.LogLine( "Error opening {0}", WoW.GamePath + "\\Data\\texture.MPQ");
                return;
            }

            //WoW.LogLine( "Opening texture.MPQ|textures\\Minimap\\{0}", minimap.filename);
            if( SFmpq.SFileOpenFileEx( hMPQ, "textures\\Minimap\\" + minimap.filename, 0, ref hFile) != 1)
            {
                WoW.LogLine( "Error opening texture.MPQ|textures\\Minimap\\{0}", minimap.filename);
                SFmpq.SFileCloseFile( hMPQ);
                return;
            }

            FileSize = SFmpq.SFileGetFileSize( hFile, ref FileSize);
            byte [] buffer = new byte[ FileSize];

            //WoW.LogLine( "Reading texture.MPQ|textures\\Minimap\\{0}", minimap.filename);
            if( SFmpq.SFileReadFile( hFile, buffer, (uint) FileSize, ref FileRead, IntPtr.Zero) == 1)
            {
                //WoW.LogLine( "Parsing texture.MPQ|textures\\Minimap\\{0}", minimap.filename);

                minimap.dxt1 = true;
                MemoryStream ms = BLP2Parse.BLPtoDXT1( buffer);
                if( ms != null && ms.Length > 0x70)
                {
                    ms.Seek( 0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                    try
                    {
                        minimap.texture = TextureLoader.FromStream( device, ms);
                        if( minimap.texture == null)
                            minimap.dxt1 = false;
                    }
                    catch
                    {
                        minimap.dxt1 = false;
                    }
                }

                if( !minimap.dxt1)
                {
                    ms = BLP2Parse.BLPtoTGA( buffer);
                    ms.Seek( 0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
                    try
                    {
                        minimap.texture = TextureLoader.FromStream( device, ms);
                    }
                    catch
                    {
                        WoW.LogLine( "Error loading texture.MPQ|textures\\Minimap\\{0}", minimap.filename);
                    }
                }

            }
            else
            {
                WoW.LogLine( "Error reading texture.MPQ|textures\\Minimap\\{0}", minimap.filename);
            }

            SFmpq.SFileCloseFile( hFile);
            SFmpq.SFileCloseArchive( hMPQ);

            return;
        }

#3 - You can get SFmpq api @ http://shadowflare.samods.org/cgi-bi...i?SFmpqapi.zip
SFmpq includes a VB Module, so it seems you may be able just to stay in VB if you wanted to.

BLP2API though was a snippet in WoW!Sharp, but if you downloaded it you could look over it. Alternatively, you could convert all the minimap textures and load them as TGA. But this being an extreme and tedious thing to do is not recommended to do. The are so many tiles that it would be a long process and you would easily require people to download 100mb+ to have minimaps.

Or you could probably ask run32.dll about his stuff, But I believe he has something like WoW!Radar, and is using C#.

Good luck in your endeavors!

Wow suicidity, thanks for all your research, that helps me a great deal! Suddenly loading the textures isn't seeming like such a big task.

Major +Rep to you and kynox

[suicidity]

No problem, anytime!

Hey there, I was wondering what the actual tracking range is? For example on mining nodes. I assume it isnt zone wide.

And this will be *extremely* useful in tracking the time lost proto drake if the distance is pretty large! D:

[Nesox]

I think it's about 32-34 'yards', was making a node detection function and the formula i used for getting the range returned that value, but im not sure

I believe it has the same range as your minimap, if not slightly larger.

And the blp loading is coming along well

[hsifdum]

Can you PLEASE include more mirrors to this? I'd really like to test it out but mediafire is down for maitenence. It never hurts to have more then one download source anyway. Try megaupload please Thanks!

[RawrSnarl]

I checked to see the range at which objects are loaded into memory, and it turns out to be around 150 in-game yards. Ever have a mob targeted, then you run away from it and lose said target? It's because it is unloaded from your memory (probably not the correct technical terms, but you get the idea).

[Sensisativa]

Download is is down atm, just thought I would let you know.

Please add another source.

Just FYI, 30yards is the range on most ranged attacks

Too bad notifications don't work with non eu/us localizations.
