Import & Export

Image Route Importer

• Added the Image Route Importer, allowing you to turn a picture of a farming route into a route that can be imported directly into PathMaker

Where to find it

Open your World of Warcraft installation folder and go to:

Your-WoW-Version → Interface → AddOns → PathMaker

Find RouteImageImporter.html next to the PathMaker .toc files and double-click it to open it in your web browser.

If it does not open automatically, right-click the file, choose Open with, and select your preferred browser.

Important: Keep the Tools folder inside the PathMaker folder, as the Image Route Importer requires its supporting files.

How to use it

1. Load a picture of your farming route using Choose File, drag and drop, or copy and paste. You can also try using a direct image URL.

2. Select the World of Warcraft version and destination zone that match the picture.

3. Keep Match picture terrain to the selected zone enabled.

4. Enter a name for the route.

5. Click on a part of the route line shown in the picture.

6. Click Create all lines.

7. Click Copy for PathMaker.

8. Return to World of Warcraft and type /pmtoolimport.

9. Paste the copied route data and import the route.

If a website prevents its image from being loaded through a direct URL, save the image to your computer first and load it using Choose File.

Future Plan:
The current plan is to eventually move the Image Route Importer to a website, allowing it to be used without opening the PathMaker addon files.
