TomTom Rift

Changes in 0.03:

/tomtom prev and /tomtom next work now instead of throwing errors

/tomtom raredar doesnt throw errors anymore if you use it in zones like sanctum or meridian that have no rares

hopefully fixed a bug that was reported through the email system but that i don't really understand (shouldn't happen ...)

Changes in version 0.02:

bump version number

implement /tomtom forget to forget everything about the location you're at

try harder not to remember bogus locations:

- only track bag changes, no bank anymore

- don't track grey items

- don't track item swaps in bags

implement /tomtom verbose to see status information while collecting stuff (use /tomtom silent to turn off)

emit a usage string if some gives no / bad options

allow quotes in arguments

also track item types, to allow for /tomtom route "misc collectible" or /tomtom route "crafting material metal"

increment window height a bit to have space for second row of information

make /tomtom raredar route only mobs you haven't found/killed yet

0.01:

First published version.

Tomtom will only consider waypoints in the zone you're in. So if you've been harvesting in ashora, and use "tomtom route ..." in the city core, it will only show nodes you've discovered there instead of sending you all over the map.

Tomtom marks locations wherever you pick up something. So if your guildie hands over a stack of ore to you somewhere, tomtom will (falsely) remember this point as an ore node.

Porting makes the game send "pickup" messages about everything in your inventory to addons, so whenever you port somewhere, this location will also be marked.

TomTom doesn't know about hills and mobs, so the routes it creates for you won't always be "best" in "real world" situations.

Creating the "best route possible" would be much more time-consuming than possible in an addon, so TomTom uses a "try to enter each new waypoint where it hurts least" algorithm. This will generally lead to a good, but not the very best possible, route.

I would love to set real rift waypoints on the minimap, but there's currently no way to do this.
