FarmerNodes

A premium, performance-optimized resource node tracking addon for World of Warcraft (TBC Classic / Anniversary Edition).

FarmerNodes automatically monitors, records, and displays coordinates for Mining Veins, Herb Bushes, Fishing Pools, Gas Clouds, and Treasure Chests on both the World Map and the Minimap.

Key Features

1. Smart Node Collection & Tracking

• Automatic Detection: Intercepts spellcasts and gathers resource names from the game tooltip to accurately record harvest coordinates.
• De-duplication & Distance Filtering: Prevents database bloat by filtering out duplicate nodes within 15 yards.
• Rare Spawn Integration: Automatically removes coordinates of standard nodes (e.g., Fel Iron, Adamantite) when a rare spawn node (e.g., Khorium, Rich Adamantite) is harvested at the same position.
• Floating Node Offsets: Automatically projects coordinates 15 yards ahead of the player's facing direction for remote nodes (Fishing Pools and Gas Clouds) where players stand at a distance.
• Zone Phasing: Employs HereBeDragons-2.0 to correctly map coordinates to the active WoW map ID, handling phased areas flawlessly.

2. High-Performance Display

• World Map Canvas: Built on Blizzard's modern MapCanvasDataProviderMixin architecture to render thousands of icons smoothly without frame rate drops.
• Pooled Minimap Pins: Minimap icons are dynamically cached and recycled to conserve memory. Pin positions automatically adjust to match your Minimap's zoom level, scaling, shape (circular/rectangular), and camera rotation.
• Distance-based Transformation: Minimap icon textures automatically transition into subtle, color-coded tracking rings when you enter their vicinity (default: 15 yards) for cleaner tracking.
• TomTom Waypoints: Right-click any World Map pin to add a TomTom navigation waypoint instantly.

3. Settings & Controls

• AceConfig Settings Panel: Open using /fn or /farmer to configure pin opacity, scales, category displays, and database locks.
• Flexible Display Modes: Configure whether nodes are shown as their exact harvested resource, their most likely base resource (e.g. Fel Iron instead of Khorium), or their highest level potential resource.
• LibDBIcon Minimap Button: Includes a modern settings button featuring a custom fantasy compass icon. Fully compatible with minimap button managers (like MBB) to keep your UI clean.
• In-UI Keybindings: Easily assign hotkeys directly from the settings panel to quickly toggle Minimap and World Map icons on/off.

4. Database Maintenance & Import

• GatherMate2 Migration: Directly import your own harvested coordinates from local GatherMate2 SavedVariables.
• Prefilled Data Importer: Instantly load pre-existing community coordinates from the GatherMate2_Data library database.
• Database Clean & Sweep: Built-in de-duplication sweep engine to clean up close coordinates and optimize database search times.
