FarmerRoutes — Graph-Based Routes/Paths for WoW TBC

FarmerRoutes is a reimagined routing system for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. Unlike traditional routing addons that use linear arrays of waypoints, FarmerRoutes uses a graph-based data model. This allows for natural branching, intersections, and loops, making it the perfect tool for complex farming routes (Gas Clouds, Herbs, and Ore) in Outland.

Key Features

• Graph-Based Architecture: Build complex, non-linear routes with interconnected nodes and edges.
• World Map Editor: Edit your routes directly on the World Map with intuitive mouse controls.
• Smart Navigation HUD: A draggable directional arrow and distance readout with predictive "look-ahead" logic to guide you seamlessly through your route.
• Minimap Overlay: Zoom-aware, lines that provide a visual path without cluttering your minimap.
• Advanced Styling & Inheritance: Granular control over node and edge visuals with a 3-tier inheritance model (Global → Route → Item).
• Sync & Sharing: Import/Export routes via strings. Fully compatible with legacy RoutePlanner strings.
• Multi-Character Support: Manage routes across all your characters with bulk import capabilities.
• Smart Bulk Updates: Changing route-level styles automatically propagates to all nodes and edges matching the previous defaults.
• Fluid Map Interaction: Integrated map panning and high-priority click detection ensure seamless editing even over dense resource icons.

How to Use

Map Editor Controls

Enter Edit Mode by clicking the wrench icon on the World Map toolbar.

• Ctrl + Left-Click (Empty Space): Add a new node and connect it to the selected node.
• Left-Click (Node): Select a node or drag to reposition it.
• Ctrl + Left-Click (Existing Node): Create or remove an edge between the selected node and the clicked node.
• Shift + Left-Click (Edge): Split an edge by inserting a new node in the middle.
• Right-Click (Node/Edge): Delete the targeted element.
• Right-Click (Empty Space): Clear selection or zoom out map.

Navigation HUD

Toggle the HUD to get directional guidance to your next farm node.

• Shift + Left-Click (Minimap Button): Quickly toggle the HUD on/off.
• Draggable Interface: Click and drag the HUD to reposition it anywhere on your screen.
• Smart Logic & Look-Ahead: The HUD automatically detects your direction of travel and targets the most logical next node. When within 20 yards of a target, it automatically "looks ahead" to the next node in the sequence for seamless navigation.

Slash Commands

• /fr — Open main settings.

Styling System

FarmerRoutes uses a powerful inheritance model for visuals:

1. Global Default: Set the default look for all routes in the main settings.
2. Route Default: Override style for a specific route via the Style Drawer.
3. Item Override: Set a unique color or size for a specific node or edge for high-priority waypoints.

Access the Style Drawer by clicking the gear icon on the World Map toolbar while a route is selected.
