Map doesn't work!

[Romplayer]

I'm not sure if this has to do with botting but... I just noticed my map doesn't show the available quests anymore. Is there a way to fix it without reinstalling? I had this happen before and the fix was a full reinstall of the game. Is there any code to type in to fix it? I already tried deleting the runes of magic folder in the documents folder but didn't work. Does botting affect this?

Or could it be Teamspeak 3 overlay screwed it up?

The map has options for which quests are shown

[Romplayer]

look i'm not dumb. I know there are options. they obviously do nothing. Hence it is broke.

You didn't show the quests sub menu but I'll assume you checked it and they are set correct. Maybe an addon is messing it up. Maybe you've done all the quests in that zone. Maybe you've already done all your dailies for the day.

It's hard to say really.

well it doesn't show public quests and i haven't done all the quests nor did any dailies today. i was wondering if there is like a reloadmap() kinda like reloadUI(). I can reinstall it and delete the rom folder in the documents folder and it should come back like it did last time but it takes me a whole day to patch. I can't figure it out what causes this to happen. I only have 4 addons right now and none mess with the map. Fusiion. Autotarget. Lootomatic. Titles. Map was working fine with the addons. I just noticed it today poof everything gone. Like i said not even public quests show. I also tried deleting the rom folder in the documents folder as the game rebuilds the files. NOTHING. I hate this game.

Well the map settings are saved in the g_WorldMapConfig variable as a table. A printout of the table looks like this

g_WorldMapConfig.jpg (10.22 KiB) Viewed 3441 times

so you could check those for starters. I have a print function that can print tables but you might have to check each value individually, eg.

Code: Select all

/script SendSystemChat(g_WorldMapConfig.showNewQuest)

They are given a 'nil' value if the setting is disabled.

It looks like the function it uses to update the map is

Code: Select all

		WorldMap_SearchQuestNpc( 
			not g_WorldMapConfig.hideLowQuest ,
			g_WorldMapConfig.showFinishedQuest ,
			g_WorldMapConfig.showNewQuest      ,
			g_WorldMapConfig.showTrustQuest    ,
			g_WorldMapConfig.showUnfinishQuest );

although I don't think it will help as it is already run every time a quest option is changed.

i tried
Code:
/script SendSystemChat(g_WorldMapConfig.showNewQuest)
as a macro ingame and it doesn't do anything

I have those settings in the file. I checked.

I was thinking about this and I think I only started to have this problem when i changed my bot to RC1 and RC2. I donno if it could be it b/c i had a problem where the 'esc' key wouldn't bring up the game menu. Could it be a related glitch? I mean the 'esc' key problem seemed to go away after the game was patched. I must've gotten lazy tho and closed the game instead of ending the process where it lead prolly to a crash like the usual crash on exit. But I don't remember this being an issue when i botted pre-RC1 or RC2.

It is driving me nuts. B/C when i did a fresh install before but didn't delete the documents folder still the map wouldn't show after all the patches. I had to re install my re install and completely wipe the documents rom folder. I don't know what could be causing this!!!!

Also, I downloaded the newest revision 756 and 2 things. 1 it says ROM WINDOW 1 etc instead of the character's name. 2. For some reason the bot.lua update or update.lua errors out saying
"../rom/bot.lua:74: Unable to find 'staticEquipBase' in module"

I'm running MM 1.02 beta 1 if that matters

If the macro didn't do anything then that means the value was nil, ie. the option was disabled. That would suggest that the option in the map setup settings is disabled. If the option isn't disabled then try un-ticking and ticking it again. See if that helps. Or try changing the values yourself and run the update function and see if that help. Eg.

Code: Select all

/script  g_WorldMapConfig.showFinishedQuest = 1
/script  g_WorldMapConfig.showNewQuest = 1
/script  g_WorldMapConfig.showTrustQuest = 1
/script  g_WorldMapConfig.showUnfinishQuest = 1
/script  WorldMap_SearchQuestNpc(not g_WorldMapConfig.hideLowQuest , g_WorldMapConfig.showFinishedQuest , g_WorldMapConfig.showNewQuest, g_WorldMapConfig.showTrustQuest, g_WorldMapConfig.showUnfinishQuest );

I don't know... it doesn't work I tried the manual setting. Maybe the global world map variables just got deleted somehow. Starting the re-install.

but about 756 revison.. how do i get it to work? Is it only for MM 1.03?

I had to re install my re install and completely wipe the documents rom folder.

It may be a corrupt file. Maybe all you have to do is delete your documents rom folder. To avoid files becoming corrupt again, you can write protect your documents rom folder but you will have to unprotect it any time you want to change addon settings.

Also, I downloaded the newest revision 756 and 2 things. 1 it says ROM WINDOW 1 etc instead of the character's name. 2. For some reason the bot.lua update or update.lua errors out saying
"../rom/bot.lua:74: Unable to find 'staticEquipBase' in module"

Sounds like it doesn't match your client version. What client version do you have?

I'm running MM 1.02 beta 1 if that matters

Well the last stable version before 1.03 was 1.02 beta 4. That's the one you should be using. 1.03 should only be used with the latest bot. 1.03 updates lua 5.1 to 5.2. The current bot has been updated to support 5.2 but older bots wont work.

but about 756 revison.. how do i get it to work? Is it only for MM 1.03?

756 is designed to work with the latest versions of the game. I think it will work with about version 5.01 upto the current version. You wont be able to get it working for older clients. It should work fine on the older 1.02 micromacro because lua 5.2 is backward compatible.

There was a bug a very long time ago when chap 4 first came out, the quests didn't show on map but it was only a couple of maps. I guess if your server has just updated to that patch it might be the same bug.

My girlfriend had this happen and the solution was to update video drivers (nvidia) - not sure if you use that video card, but it could be a place to start.

Getting rid of all addons also solved this, but wasn't really a satisfactory answer for us.

[Romplayer]

Awesome ty Attackspeedzero! It worked. I downloaded 314.22 and it worked! Could have been all the restarts of the computer tho b/c I had version 310.70. But I crossed my fingers and deleted the documents rom folder and viola! Map is back!!! Yay TY. Didn't have to delete the addons.
