I just came across a tile I missed in Car Bronach. This will be fixed in the next update, but you can fix your local copy of TerrainMap if you would like. Edit the file Grid.lua in the TerrainMap folder and add the following line to the end of the file:
Grid[2][8][70]={[1]=0x412105a8}

The QA goblin responsible for this has been suitably punished. Proceeds from the sale of his skin will fund the next update...

I don't usually look for custom annotations on TerrainMap - I usually add and maintain them from MoorMap - so I did not notice this for quite a while

While mapping ore nodes in Eastern Rohan in MoorMap, I happened to look at the map in TerrainMap and saw to my horror that none of my carefully plotted ore nodes were showing on the map! So, I did a bit of digging and realized that I goofed (big time!) when the map of Rhovanion expanded for Gundabad. The auxillary plugins in MoorMap and TerrainMap that do the work of saving/updating and synchronizing custom annotations never got their grid offsets updated for the change to region 2. Worse yet, I realized there is no way with the current system to automatically adjust the custom annotations in TerrainMap to work with the new grid

I will be working on a way to flag the grid format and automatically update custom annotations whenever a change is detected in a future update. Unfortunately, for now, the only workaround is to perform custom annotation maintenance in MoorMap - once the fix is published, you will be able to delete all of your existing TerrainMap custom annotations and re-export them from MoorMap - it is actually a really easy process, just sounds painful.

Note, this only affects custom annotations in Rhovanion (region 2). All Eriador, Gondor and Mordor custom annotations should work correctly. Annotations created in MoorMap for Rhovanion will not display correctly in MoorMap until MoorMap version 1.49 is published. Annotations created or modified in TerrainMap in Rhovanion will no longer display correctly in TerrainMap and will likely create duplicate annotations in the wrong location in MoorMap.

Hi. Will there be any updates for "Rangers and Ruin" and/or "Yondershire"?

Short Answer:
Yes. Yes, there will be.

Long Answer:
OK, in fairness, TerrainMap never got a U32 update, but that was more due to RL issues interfering with plugin development time (yes, sadly, RL does get priority ). So, U33 will include U32 and they are coming along nicely. The update for MoorMap is almost ready (MoorMap always gets updated first due to how the annotation data gets captured and the files created). The map tiles for Yondershire did not change much from what has been in the client (just not included in TerrainMap previously) but I did notice a large chunk of dev markup stuff to the SW of the Angle so I will be including that as well (good chance they will be working on that area next). I am still wrestling with the Custom Annotation glitch caused by the northern expansion to include Gundabad - I may at this point give in and simply provide instructions on how to manually delete them and re-export from MoorMap. So, it will probably be a week or more, but there will definitely be an update.

Thanks so much for the heads up and info, Garan!

Well, I believe this may be the first time that TerrainMap is updated before MoorMap (I'm still getting FR/DE translations for MoorMap). TerrainMap 1.33 has been uploaded and should be available shortly. Unfortunately, I did not determine a reliable way of fixing the custom annotation issue that arose from the expansion of the map for Gundabad/U31. Since annotations that preceded the change are intermixed with those after the change, it created a mess that is not easily and reliably fixed. The only reasonable solution at this point is to simply delete all of the affected annotations from TerrainMap and re-export them from MoorMap - noted, the annotations in MoorMap should be correct (although some may never have been created if their coordinates were off map).
Note, this only affects users that have Custom Annotations in region 2, Rhovanion

To delete the existing custom annotations, go to the folder Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\PluginData\username\AllServers
where username is your account user name.
Delete all files that start with "TM_Cust_Annot_2"

To re-export the existing custom annotations from MoorMap, launch the game, load and open MoorMap. Click the gear icon (options) in the upper left.
Scroll down to the section titled Custom Annotations and click on the "Prompt" radio button. Click Save. MoorMap will close and present the dialog asking if you want to enable TerrainMap Compatability. Click Yes. MoorMap will re-open and automatically export all of your custom annotations back to TerrainMap.

Version 1.34 adds a commonly requested item, the Tales of Yore region with Azanulbizar T.A. 2799 and Nud-melek T.A. 1981

There is a new region radio button at the top for "Tales of Yore" which will display region 14 which includes both of the maps of the earlier era. This is part of a larger project with the intention of adding the Mordor Besieged and other instanced landscape areas, but unfortunately those areas are a slightly harder problem since they exist within actual geographical regions (albeit far, far off the map).

Note, if you wish to add/maintain custom annotations and you have MoorMap installed, it is strongly recommended that you also update MoorMap to version 1.51 or higher otherwise you run the risk of your custom annotations getting out of synch and behaving, well, oddly.

Where did this go? It's vanished, and that was basically required for me to actually use this! Is it possible to find an older version that still has that component, or will it be added back, or am I just somehow overlooking it, or what?
Installed and updated via Plugin Compendium, if that makes any difference.

Garan

The player location button was moved to the right to make room for the additional region, "Tales of Yore". What screen resolution are you using for the game?

After looking at the screen width, I see that it does not accomodate 1024 width anymore - sorry about that, I probably only tested down to 1280. I will look into the screen width and possibly replace the region radio buttons with a dropdown list to save horizontal space.

Meanwhile, you can bind the "/loc" chat command to a quickslot, either a built-in one or one provided by a plugin like sequence bars or bevy-of-bars as a temporary workaround (or you can type it manually but that would get annoying realllllly fast).

avigor

yeah I've been using 1024 because of how tiny all the windows get if I set it 1080 and haven't gotten around to trying the new UI scaling to actually use 1080 yet, starting to do that now since might as well lol
EDIT: 768x1024 vs 1920x1080 lol I'm awake I swear
EDIT 2: whelp, that was a bust, I either wind up with an unusable inventory at 1920x1080 or at 1280x720 the quest list overlaps the minimap... argh here's hoping they either overhaul a lot more or let plugins actually fix those soon...

Garan

FWIW, AltInventory allows you to see the inventory bag items at x2 and x4 scale which might help if the issue with inventory is scaling.

Version 1.35 fixes a few minor bugs and adds the Cardolan and Swanfleet areas.

Ereglam

the PlugIn Compendium currently shows version: 1.35, latest version: 1.34

Garan

It shows correctly in Plugin Compendium for me

and I double checked the .plugincompendium file and it is correctly set to 1.35.

It appears to be something occurring (or not occurring) on your system. Perhaps Plugin Compendium was not able to update from the RSS feed. I would suggest rebooting to be sure there isn't something preventing the RSS feed downloading and/or processing correctly. Are you running the latest published version of Plugin Compendium (1.0.4.0)? If so, and the problem persists, you may have to post in the Plugin Compendium download thread to see if Lunarwater can determine what is going on.

Ereglam

yep. For some reason my system didn't update the version list from the server.

Sorry about that.
Ereglam
I restarted the Compendium and now shows the right versions.
