Classic has changed. The zones that were torn apart with the release of Cataclysm (v4) were then re-organised in BfA (v8). Classic was released subsequently with old maps but new attributes meaning that neither the retail nor the old Classic data points for gathering were correct.
Thanks to data collected from the original Gathermate project (data points and format) as well as the doomed AVR (pre-Cata zone IDs) and some time we now have Neoclassical data...
Instructions:
Install this addon like any other (copy folder to the Addons folder or as I do, use Curse client)
- Start the game, go to the main (Esc) menu
- Interface
- Addons
- GatherMate 2
- Import
- Select what you want to import and whether to merge with your existing data or replace it
- Ignore the Expansion
- Click "Import GatherMate..."
- Once done you should see the nodes on your map (assuming you have GatherMate2 set to display them)
Nice
+1 the recommendation to go to the Maintenance tab on the mod's interface options and run a cleanup. Really helped.
For those of you who want to add stuff manually to gathermate2, I did it a few months ago to add in a lot of the missing stuff for myself:
Navigate to your WTF / Account / YourAcctName / SavedVariables / Gathermate2.lua
find GatherMate2HerbDB {
heres the format if I remember correctly:
GatherMate2HerbDB = { [ZONE ID#] = { [XX.xxYY.yy00] = ITEMID, [XX.xxYY.yy00] = ITEMID }You can open the localization files to see which items correspond to which ID, and somewhere in there set the texture file as well (if you wanted to add a new one or something)
In reply to DJDaNksta:
Hey TY this is what i wanted ! i managed to find zone ID's but can't find anywhere the herbs ID's can you tell me where i can find localization files and how cordinates look in this format for lets say 63.0, 53.7
In reply to Kiixxx:
This would be great
In reply to Kiixxx:
To add manually you first need the coordinates, so for example ingame coordinates; 25.7, 58.6 become [2570586000] and you find the itemID by looking at a spawn point ingame that already exists.
Cross reference that with the "[2570586000]" in the .lua file to figure out what itemID it is. For example Black Lotus is 431.
There seems to be a lot of fishing nodes missing, there is some Oily Blackmouth schools in western Silverpine, but cant see anything there after importing data :S
In reply to REWSTON:
There's a lot of EVERYTHING missing from this data set. Use the wowhead gathermate2 add-on instead. If you have both installed make sure you uninstall this one and re-import the other one. Then you'll see everything.
Apparently there no fishing nodes in the wowhead data though so make sure you use Merge when importing.
In reply to thezeke74:
Thank you for the info. :>
In reply to thezeke74:
Out of interest what, other than fishing nodes, is missing?
I also love the way you agree that the fishing nodes are incomplete (and they are) then recommend someone replace it with an alternative without any fishing nodes.
So shock me. What exactly is this “a lot of EVERYTHING” that you say is missing?
Is it possible to add spawns manually? i build the data myself but i would like to add black lotus spawns so i don't have to alt-tab to wowhead
In reply to Kiixxx:
Only if you want to manually edit the data file.
I'd recommend importing and then if all you want is the lotus, go into GM2/Filters and remove all the other herbs.
In reply to TheSpanishInq:
yes that's what i meant. How do i manually edit the data ?
In reply to Kiixxx:
Not sure what you're asking. Find the text files in the addon directory, open in a text editor, amend as needed then save. You'll need to work out the file format though and that's not something I would want to do manually.
Only do this when logged out of the game though otherwise updates will be overwritten when you log out.
Span, question. I have just downloaded and installed both Gathermate and the database. But I find it to be extremely inaccurate. I'm in Sepulcher and it tells me it is packed full of herbs but every 10 nodes there is only one actual herb. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
In reply to ShogunFS:
The locations are not where there are herbs. It’s not updated like that. They are just all of the known possible spawn points. As such you should expect that most points won’t have herbs at that time.
I would recommend using something like Routes to plan a path to check all the spawn points in a zone for dedicated farmers and FarmHUD to get a map overlay for easier navigation.
Bottom line/basic Q: I want to see the things I've looted w/o seeing the info from ["spinx gathermate data (classic)" mod] and for my game to go back to the way it used to be. How do I do this? I've already uninstalled the spinx mod. PLZ HELP!
Detailed info:
BEFORE:
I have a mod for tracking everything I gather. [Pretty sure it's called Gathermate2]. There are icons on my map showing me where the stuff I already looted is (chests, herbs bc I'm a herbalist, and some schools of fish after I fish in that area).
Whenever I walk close to some herb I haven't looted before, it's a yellow circle on my minimap.
On my minimap, if I have looted, the icon for the item for me to loot will change into the standard yellow circle with an outer circle around that (ie: chests have purple circles around them, herbs have green circles, fish have yellow circles). If somebody has looted that item before I can get to it, it's just the outer circle, no inner yellow circle too (saves me time because if it's a hollow circle, I know not to go to it, because somebody else got it. If it has the inner yellow and outer colored circle, then the item can be looted).
AFTER:
I downloaded some mod to tell me where all the herbs, fish, chests, and stuff I want to loot will spawn... [Add'l info: I clicked "merge" data, not "overwrite"].
It made everything very overwhelming on my map, and there would be hollow circles that actually had loot in them, so it was messing up my looting routine. I hated it, so I uninstalled it (the mod was called "Spinx gathermate2 data (classic)").
THE PROBLEM:
Now that I uninstalled it, nothing changed, at all!... All the old overwhelming information is there and won't go away, so I turned off all the filters for loot, and now I can't see my map update the location for where I loot like it used to.
I know to see the location of the new stuff I loot I have to turn my filters back on, but then the map doesn't show just my loot, it shows everything from that mod, which I do NOT want.
THE QUESTION:
How do I take off the information from that Spinx mod to only show the stuff I looted before I ever downloading this mod? I just want my map/minimap to work like it did before I ever downloaded this mod. Please help!
In reply to kblovesjet:
Thanks for the detailed information. You may not like the answer. It is possible, but probably just easier to delete all the collected points and start again.
The data from this addon is a collection of all known spawn points which is why it looks to overwhelming. This is now merged with the nodes you found yourself. If you really want to revert it then the only way would be to (manually or programmatically) compare what is in your data file against what is in the addon and remove the lines that match. You will have to open your GatherMate2.lua under World of Warcraft\_classic_\WTF\Account\XXX\SavedVariables\GatherMate2.lua to see all the points.
However as I said, it would be far easier to simply delete this file (and the associated backup in the same folder) and allow GM2 to create a new one next time you log in and start collecting points again.
Note: whether deleting or editing the saved variables you need to do it when logged out otherwise the game will rewrite the file.
In reply to kblovesjet:
Oh, regarding the empty circles - I find that this is due to GM2 drawing the circles at a greater distance than the game actually draws the yellow dot. It would then look like there’s nothing there from this distance but as you get closer the game displays the spawn.
This is coded in GM2. Nothing in this addon changes the functionality of GM2. It simply adds more data points.
