Candy Buckets makes it easier to track several world event objectives:
- Hallow's End
- Lunar Festival
- Midsummer Fire Festival
Features implemented:
- Simple overview on zone and continent views.
- Works with the default map, probably not with other map related addons.
Hello, not sure if this is a bug on my end or the addon.
I play Alliance and experienced these issues:
Desecrate Zandalar's bonfire does not show up on the zone map.
Honor Tiragarde Sound's bonfire does not show up on the zone map. Example 1, Example 2
I don't have photos for the Zandalar bonfire issue but it's roughly the same idea as the Tiragarde Sound one.
I love this Addon. The only issue I have with it is (for example) I am currently doing the "Midsummer Fire Festival", the addon says I have 2 more to get but I cant see them on the map. Would be nice to have a option to make the icons larger so they are easier to find or for the addon to display a list that show you what ones are left, or the quest id for the ones left. That would make it easier to get them all.
In reply to Dj_Newman:
Hi and thanks for finding the addon helpful! Yeah I have actually considered this before, unsure why I haven't yet implemented something regarding this earlier. I will try to add something hopefully during the weekend to help out with situations like this. Thanks again for your feedback!
In reply to Vladinator:
Haha, I just figured it would be a easier work around to have some sort of option to increase the icon size haha. Thanks for your hard work.
Hello! I know that Lunar Festival is over, but I got this error from Elder Darkcore of Undercity (https://i.imgur.com/7TAaeTM.png). I'm not sure if the error is due to BFA phasing or not.
In reply to junghee:
Thanks! It looks like the bucket was located in the old-UC, but you somehow managed to loot it in the new Ruins. So I figure Blizzard placed the same bucket in both phases for less confusion, at least that's how it looks to me. I've added both locations so the error shouldn't appear for next year.
In reply to Vladinator:
Actually, I did loot it in the old-UC. I had to talk to Ziridomi to be phased back to pre-BFA Undercity. But I still got that message.
There are warnings that show up when you complete one of the instance Elders in the Lunar Festival (e.g. "You were at 2/154/1000.001000.00 roughly 1338.04 units away from the expected 2 locations...) saying we should notify the author. However, the locations aren't incorrect, it appears it's just a change in the player location API.
In reply to GraysonCarlyle:
You are correct. I should add a instance check as the location check won't work inside instances, since the coordinates are disabled for addons in there, so this is a opsie on my end when adding this feature to make reporting easier and more accurate for the earlier events in the open world. Thanks for the feedback! *Edit* Actually my check is there but I have a typo, ops.
Can you change it so that the addon doesn't turn off the second the event ends? This year I spent an hour tracking all the candybuckets via WoWhead for an hour after the event ended. I turned in the capital city candy quest and bought a pet an hour and 10 minutes after the event ended on my server. It would have been much less difficult if the addon didn't turn itself off at exactly 11:00am.
In reply to dovvydragon:
I guess if the event lingers a bit extra it makes sense. Sorry for the inconvenience. Glad you still managed to make it at the last second!
When I log in the chat window says candybuckets has found 4 candy buckets. but i can't find them anywhere, is there a way to get the addon to tell me where they are?
In reply to marcusmaximi:
Hi! Let me think, there might be one in Deepholm, old Dalaran has 2. I think major cities and Deepholm are special and don't show properly on the full map, but the rest should. With the latest update does the big Azeroth map view show any icons anywhere? Also did you check pre-Teldrassil and Undercity phases they might have a bucket each. Same with Darkshore it might have one in the pre-phase, possibly Brill as well. Depending on your faction of course. I'm trying to think of phasing/lack of map view issues I am aware of.
I could, probably should, figure out a neat way to make it spill the beans where these are to be more helpful when you have so few remaining. I tried to find a easy macro for you to use as a quick fix in your case but I don't seem to be exposing my internals anywhere so I can't make it dump the last bucket locations, I will need to push and update, possibly add a slash command for the waypoint module and a print command to list the remaining locations in chat for situations like this where you don't have anything to click on for a waypoint.
Thx for a great addon:).
CandyBuckets questhallow#12340 turned in at wrong location. You where at 1/52/52.84/53.67 roughly 7.47 units away from the expected location.
In reply to rbshanks:
Thanks! I had to add a solution to the Westfall bucket. It's phased, so it actually exists in two separate locations. I had to adjust that to keep both on map, and also tweak the reporting functionality to not complain when you decide to loot the secondary location instead of the first one. Thanks for the report so I noticed this flaw in my addon! Will be fixed in the upcoming update.
I have read through every single comment and added the adjustments in yesterdays update.
Hopefully going forward with the latest version, these messages will no longer appear for the mentioned buckets.
Thanks a lot for the feedback in both comments and PMs and let me know if something else comes up!
