[Joanas] Ingame Leveling Guide [1.22]

[KingAndy]

+rep thanks.

[TheFreak]

I've updated this topic to include the .PDF and .HTML version of the guide. All other download links I've tested by other users are no longer working.

I do NOT know if the tracker is attached to these files. I did not take this guide from Joana's site but downloaded it else where.

I did however do all the Ingame Guide work. The Ingame guide does not show dots or locations of the map, you must download another addon that will do this. There are others out there and many members of this community have suggested other addons where will help you locate the mobs.

I will keep this up to date as much as I can. By up to date I mean fresh links or updated versions of the guide.

Can you take a screen shot of it? Never seen that before.

When trying to import the module it failed because I didn't have MetaMap CVT installed. Also, when I press the 'Import Module' button, only the first "import" button highlights or turns on.

Upon installing MetaMap CVT, it still fails to load. Not sure what's going on.

having the same problem here as well.

Errors i get.

[Flunkyhead]

Oopps, doublepost. Sorry

[popoxb]

sorry it is a repost :confused:

[Flunkyhead]

Iv'e optionally found out our errors, read here:


1. Download Meta Map here: MetaMap - Map Additions - World of Warcraft Mods, Addons, and More! (I am NOT the author of the mod.)
2. Install Meta Map by extracting all the folders into your \World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\ directory. If you've done it right, that directory should contain folders called MetaMap, MetaMapBKP etc.
3. Copy the MetaMapEXP.lua (From the zip file i attached here "metamapexp.zip") into your MetaMapCVT directory.
4. Start WoW. Make sure all Meta Map modules are loaded by clicking the "AddOns" button on the character selection screen and checking everything called Meta Map.
5. Enter the world. Bring up the map. You'll notice it looks a bit different. You'll also see a new icon around the minimap. Hover the cursor over it to bring up a menu, then set "Show Unexplored" to on, if indeed that's what you want (it'll be a great help in new areas, believe me). Now for some customization (this is what I do personally): On the MetaNotes tab UNcheck "Highlight last created note in red". Check "Highlight note selected for MiniNote in blue". Uncheck "Accept incoming notes from other players". On the modules tab, check MetaMapFWM (it's the "show unexplored" module) and MetaMapBWP (it's the navigation system module).
6. Click the Database tab. Click imports module. Click the Import button under "User File" to the left. Click import. Close the window. Bring up the map.
7. You should see a list of coordinates at the right hand side of the map now. If not, either right click the Meta Map icon next to the Options button on the map (that will toggle the display of the sidelist) or select another zone (it may be that there are no coordinates in the zone you're in).
8. To sort the list, click the "Sorted list" / "Unsorted list" header. It's best to keep it sorted, in my opinion.
9. Left click on a note in the sidelist. It will highlight on the map so you can see it easily. Right click the note on the map. Select "Set XX.YY as Waypoint". Close the map. You should see a red arrow showing the direction and distance to the coordinate. You can move the arrow around if you right click and drag it. I always have it a bit below my character where it's easy to see but not in the way. The arrow will despawn when you get close to the location, i.e. "arrive". You can clear the destination or change some options by left clicking the navigation arrow.
10. You will also see the note you selected on the minimap.
11. Once I have imported the coordinates I disable (from the "AddOns" menu on the character selection screen) MetaMapWKB, MetaMapTRK, MetaMapQST, MetaMapNBK, MetaMapBLT. There's probably a use for them, but I don't use them.
12. You can add your own notes by ctrl + left clicking the map and you can edit any note by simply clicking on it.
13. I wasn't too consistent with the color coding, but when I knew for a fact it was an NPC I marked it blue, items as green, mobs as red, and everything else as yellow. Doesn't really matter.


Hope it works! HF Leveling.

damb nice dude +rep

[Smeems]

Yeah, the errors you seem to be getting come from you not having the additional folders packed with MetaMap.

You can just get the new version from Curse, as Flunky has said, and it'll have a link to a download for everything you need.

Flunkyhead,

Thank you.


I have fixed my links so they have the full install of Metamod + my edited .lua files for Joana's Ingame Leveling Guide.
