Actually, that looks like a bug. You probably noticed the failure on nodes that included accent marks in their names. The comparison was supposed to account for both the old format of the target name as well as the newer encoded format (to better handle those special accent characters). It looks like the comparison is written incorrectly. I will look into this further and if needed, include the fix for this in the next update.

EDIT: Well, it turns out the encoded name feature was never implemented which explains why it wasn't being tested so that is not the issue (not a bug, just a feature that was never implemented). I double checked and the message should be properly displayed if a custom annotation with the same name and annotation type is found at the same coordinates - since the coordinates are only measured in .1 increments, that already accounts for a decent range. The only issue would be if the node is right on the border of a location where the coordinate changes by .1, then it would be seen as the adjacent grid space and would allow adding another annotation since the two locations are seen as being different by .1 units - so, implementing a distance comparison of range <=.1 would not help.

Note that the quick annotation uses the ;loc chat alias which is only accurate to .1 units instead of /loc which can be accurate to .01 units (or slightly better). This is due to an API limitation. The /loc cannot be combined with other information and would create issues with distinguishing a /loc for positioning from a /loc for annotations and would result in adding annotations for lots of unintended locations.

Hi. This is a bit unusual but can rarely happen after a client crash. It usually corrects itself the next time MoorMap runs and unloads, but if the crash is being caused by another plugin failing to unload correctly it will reoccur repetitively. To test this, use the chat commands:
/plugins unload
/plugins load moormap

this will unload ALL plugins and reload only MoorMap - make note of any error messages you see in chat (there should not be any, but if there are I need to know)
then, go to MoorMap settings and verify that the load minimized is turned on and repeat the commands:
/plugins unload
/plugins load moormap

at this point, moormap should have loaded minimized. If it did not, then we need to dig further. If it did load minimized but after logging out and back in you see the problem return, then you will need to disable your other plugins one at a time and repeat the process until you can find the one that is crashing on logout and causing the problem.

Let me know the results.

For treasure caches that have already been discovered, you can manually check them off by clicking on the treasure cache icon on the map and clicking the "Mark" button.

Treasure caches are not exposed to Lua so the only way to know when one is found is from the chat message. Since player location is also not exposed to Lua, the "Mark Found" button allows the plugin to get the player location from the chat response to the /loc chat command if clicked right away when a new cache is found. Any older caches must be marked manually.

Well, the best practice would be to create a backup of any file before manually editing it. In the absence of a backup, you need to fix the hole you created in the table. To do this, you need to identify the index of the missing element and the highest index in the table. Then change the index of the element with the highest index to the missing index. That will effectively move the element from the end of the table to fill the hole.

Odd error

So I wanted to check if my nodes in the Lone Lands were working properly, and I clicked on Lone Lands while on the Bree map in Moormap. The plugin crashed and now won't reload.

It's giving the following error:

Quote:
...\Main.lua: 1589: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
I'm thinking that somehow my saved list has a problem with how something got stored.

Quitting the game fully does not do anything to fix it.

Thanks for reporting that. SSG changed the bounds of the Lothlorien map a while back and I thought I had adjusted it but either they changed it again or the adjustment never made it into the published version. Either way it will be fixed for the next update.

Hi. No, the current player profession does not affect MoorMap. I'm not sure what you mean by "island", perhaps a translation issue.

If you mean that the annotation was not added to the map when you clicked the quick annotation tool, can you check that you have the Error channel enabled on your chat window - right click the tab of the chat window and select Filters then make sure the Error channel is checked. Try adding another annotation and see if there is any message in the chat window. If there is an error, please copy and paste it here.

Hi. I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Annotations can be filtered by type using the filter which you already discussed so you are aware of this. Additionally, using the local search (silver hourglass) you can type a partial name to filter the icons by distinct name.
