coordinate system

[Sillyboy72]

Sorry, lame question, but...

How do I convert from wow's internal coordinate system to what we typically see in game?

(9507.7,-6806.8, 17.4) that I see internally vs (47.2, 45.6) that players typically see.

float mapSize = ((64*16) * ((150.0f/36.0f)*); // 34133.333
float tileSize = 150.0f / 36.0f * 8 * 16; // 533.333

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;

EDIT:

The coords you posted would be -> 14.17, 44.76

So..., indeed the 14.17, 44.76 is what's poppin' out, but I expected something around 47.2, 46.7!?

Depends on the mod you use for the coords. Some have them screwy.

Don't think its mod related. the lua function GetPlayerMapPosition seems to give its values in 0.0-1.0 ... so basically a % of the current zone. Not really sure what the positions I am pulling out of memory represent, but I will dig around some more

GetPlayerMapPosition has to be multiplyed by 100.

float mapSize = ((64*16) * ((150.0f/36.0f)*); // 34133.333
float tileSize = 150.0f / 36.0f * 8 * 16; // 533.333

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

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

But the formula is wrong for Y(map) value. in goldshire, you start at 48/42 in map coordinates, but world coordinates are -8915.00;-131.00;90.00
Edit:
the formula gives out the correct X value, but th Y value it gives out is about -5300.00.


can someone plz tell me the correct formula for calulating the y value?
