1.1.1 Patch Note
Functionality
You have a book shelf now! Click the left arrow on the top-right corner to return to the shelf.
Each Album has its own theme and the latest album features stories of the Titans and the Old Gods.
27 new cards were added. Cheers!
1.0.2 Patch Note
Functionality
You can now pick one from paperclip, tape and staple as your Pin Button.
File size has been reduced. Cheers!
1.0.1 Patch Note
Functionality
You can now use this mini-map button to open the Album. Or you can disable it and use /AAA command instead.
Two new buttons were added to the bottom of the panel. You can sort the cards by map. Progress will be shown here as well. You can also change some basic settings.
Readability
A Darken Background feature is added so you can concentrate on reading. It's enabled by default but you can turn it off.
Two fonts are embedded--Noto Sans for Chinese and Fremont for English. Please notice that you may not use the latter commercially without a proper license.
The Album now has a higher frame strata. It should overlap most icons from TMW/WA.
When you open the world map, the text area will rearrange itself so you will be able to see the coordinates.
What Is This?
You may consider it an achievement system 2.0 but it's more than that.
About a month ago when I was writing some guides for the achievement, I came up with an idea -- to make an add-on that will provide tips, track world quests and set marks on the map when you track a achievement. Then I realized I could use this add-on to create things instead of just making it an auxiliary. And that's how it started.
30 points of interest are now listed in this Album. Once you reach a specific location, a photo and related lore will show up in the Album. This lore can be a background of an Easter egg or a story of the character/place.
How Do I Use It?
POI are listed in the Card Area. The card will stay grey until it is collected. Photo Area is on the right column. The photo has a old paper effect and will return to its saturated state when you receive the card.
Move you cursor into to the Photo Area and the Location&Lore (text panel) will pop up. You may enable this paperclip-shaped Pin Button so that the text panel is always visible.
Where Do You Get These Contents?
I've been playing alpha and beta for months and I spent most of the time exploring new areas. Also, a few of my friends in WoW and people from this sub have provided some very interesting places. So thank you all.
I designed the UI (game icons not included) and the Logo, retouched every photo. I hope you guys like it.
Please enjoy and I would love your feedback!
Hello! Is there any chance of this add on getting a kind update where users could make packs of cards? I could see this being used by Roleplayers for their events and storylines. It would be amazing to use it as a sort of 'scavenger hunt' or random encounter sort of thing.
All in all, I LOVE this add on, I find it tons of fun to collect the cards, and I wish you were still actively updating it. I would love to use it for my roleplaying events. Thanks for all your hard work and no worries if that's not something you're interested in opening up. (This is just a bump from the earlier comment, because I would kill for this lol )
In reply to Verisimi:
Hi Verisimi! Thank you for your comment and I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Sadly, I've shifted my free time to another add-on -- Narcissus, which renders this project inactive for the time being.
It is an innovative addon, love it. I found this program from Narcissus. lol.
Well there is a bug that High tinker mekkatorque is not in the embassy of Stromwind，which is a mission of Album #3.
I think that he has been killed by the Horde in the 8.1 raid. So how can I find him and get the card?
In reply to apizjd:
Hi! I just logged in my Alliance character and visited Stormwind embassy, the High Tinker was there though I've "killed" him and completed related storylines.
I don't know what caused this sharding issue, factions perhaps?
Anyway, if you cannot find him:
1. close the album.
2. use /run TidesofV[5]["Status"] = true command.
3. Reopen the album.
The contents within this add-on was released before Battle for Dazar'alor. If you find other NPCs missing, please leave a comment here. Thank you!
make it able to be move dragged around
appears below weakauras and i cant move
PS new addon looks amazing
In reply to hellzbellz123:
Will do.
I'm glad you like my new addon. Its beta version is now available and I'd appreciate any feedback.
And again..sorry for this late reply. I appears messages from www.curseforge.com won't push any notification to the project page on wow.curseforge.com.
In reply to man661118:
its all good internet communication is expected to be pretty slow
I love this, it's so fun.
Any chance to let people make their own packs of cards they might be able to give to other folks? I was thinking a custom made scavenger hunt would be super fun!
In reply to Verisimi:
I'm glad you like it!
People making their own DLC? It's definitely on my to-do list. However, I'm currently working on another unannounced addon project https://imgur.com/a/tDPWYdH https://streamable.com/sgvna , so no ETA yet :)
The "By Fire Be Purged" card seems to be bugged for me. I've gone to the coords listed on the page and all around sulfuron spire but still can't get it to pop for me.
In reply to Meaux:
Thank you so much for making this!! Every card and its piece of lore is amazing and really makes you (re)discover the game, even after years of playing! The UI and photos are beautiful, the different options are a nice plus, everything runs smoothly (the pin buttons animations are somehow very pleasant to look at... especially the staple)! This addon is definitely underrated and I hope, like the previous com, that it gets the attention it deserves.
Thanks again for making such a great addon, can't wait to see the next albums :D!
In reply to shepard1410:
I just wish to say wonderful addon!
With the death of addons like Lorebook, things like this makes me so happy!
I wish more people see and use this, and you continue to update for more zones!
In reply to ZanesN
secretproject I'm working on:A cool addon! But I would like to report a lore mistake in the very first available card "Prelude: The Titans". In this card you tell about titans using the quote about naaru ("clouds of fractured Light occasionally gathered..."). I understand that this might be confusing as in Chronicles they refer to multiple creatures created this way and then comparing titans and naaru. But in fact (and I checked myself on Wowpedia) it would be incorrect to put them in one place as titans mostly consist of arcane, arcane is their lifeblood (Well of Eternity, azerite) and they do not represent Light anywhere at all (in Chronicles cosmology they stand right in the arcane). So as the correction I would suggest to use instead a quote from p. 13 of Chronicles: "The titans are colossal godlike beings made up of the primordial matter from which the very universe was born".
Due to lack of time I can't play regularly and therefore check all the content presented by you but if there will be a chance, I will look into it more and provide more corrections if needed.
In reply to foxastrophys:
This is so cool! I have always wanted to do something interactive with lore as a side questchain or something, and you made that with an addon?! Holy shit, Blizzard should hire you. I haven't done any of the "hunts" yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. I saw you have 3 albums up now, and I'm really looking forward to what you could come up with next. And please don't restrict yourself to the BfA theme, I think you should do more albums regarding semi-important lore, like the titan-forged album. The UI is also very, very pretty, I don't think anyone could've done that better. If you ever need more ideas for albums, hit me up! Until then, thanks for making this, I hope this gets more attention.
