README: TomCat's Tours is now combined into one addon!
If you are new to TomCat's Tours, Do not install "TomCat's Tours: Nazjatar".
Everything from TomCat's Tours can now be found in the core TomCat's Tours addon.
For help:
Support links, including live support, are available at https://www.TomCatsTours.com
ORIGINAL (POSSIBLY OUTDATED) ADDON DESCRIPTION BELOW
Latest features: All rare addons now have a description panel available (similar to the quest descriptions when you click a quest in the log).
The current releases have updated loot tables but will need the spawn descriptions filled and translated. Any volunteers?
TomCat's Tours offers a lightweight tour of the Nazjatar rares
- View all of the rares locations on both the world map and the zone mini map.
- HandyNotes and TomTom integration if you have it
- Simple icons
- Star means you can still kill and loot the rare.
- Check mark means you have already looted this rare for the phase and have to wait for the reset to kill it again.
- You can view the stars on the Nazjatar map and Rares Log from anywhere
In reply to Cofic:
Please be sure you have enabled the Nazjatar (and if applicable, Mechagon) plugins in Interface-->HandyNotes-->Plugins. The World Map Icon Scale slider should have an effect on all HandyNotes icons which obey it. I'm not sure what the 'Icon Scale' slider represents under Plugins-->HandyNotes, but it doesn't seem to affect other HandyNotes addons either. Does this help? If there is still an issue, please let me know.
This is missing some of the rares in Nazjatar. Two of the ones I've noticed are Soundless (three spawn points are known, listed on its wowhead page: https://ptr.wowhead.com/npc=152290/soundless#comments) and Daggertooth Terror (spawns in the water around Gate of the Queen).
It might be worth looking through the achievement and double checking which rares you have in the addon to see if any others are missing. (https://ptr.wowhead.com/achievement=13691/i-thought-you-said-theyd-be-rare)

Also, a lot of rares in Nazjatar have multiple spawn points. Most of the snails and slugs, for instance. Might be worth just explaining that on mouseover like other HandyNote addons do (and maybe listing them, making their icons a different color than others so you can differentiate that they're the same rare, etc.). Most snails and slugs can spawn on the roof as well, so it's probably smart to mention that as well.
Then there's Sandcastle. I don't think we've had a rare like it. It can spawn ANYWHERE a Glimmering Chest can spawn. (The ones you find with the Scrying Stone). So I'm not quite sure how you want to go about explaining that on the map, as I doubt you want to pepper the map with a bajillion markers just for Sandcastle. Perhaps a marker off to the side that when you hover over explains "Can Spawn Anywhere When using Scrying Stone to Reveal a Chest" or something?

And since you also do the Mechagon one: You're also missing a couple there. Haven't seen them yet, but I know from the PTR that there's Sparkqueen and the weird Mechanical Chicken Avenger, (dont remember the name, it's listed on the achievement page though).
Some of them also have specific requirements that you might want to list in the mouseover. (List in comments: https://ptr.wowhead.com/achievement=13470/rest-in-pistons#comments) The only one that's wrong is Boggac. People think it's killing troggs in the area.
And much like Nazjatar, you have Cogstar as a static spawn point, but he actually spawns wherever the last enemy you kill that spawns him dies. Which can be out of range of the minimap to see him where you have his star. It only happens in that specific area, but it's a decent sized area.
A few rares also have multiple drops, and it'd be nice if those both were listed. Like Rustfeather does drop a mount, but it also can drop the Blueprint for the Jetpack. (https://www.wowhead.com/item=169173/blueprint-anti-gravity-pack)
Anyway, so far I've liked the addon. I prefer handynotes, so I've been using it as a HandyNotes Plugin, and it's been a lot better than most HandyNotes plugins. I just thought I'd point out the missing stuff and such. :)
In reply to Myzou:
Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback! I will go through this along with notes I've been taking to get these adjustments made.
Even when I click for TomCat to hide the minimap icon, they will ALWAYS show. Am I missing something else that overrides the box being unchecked?
In reply to SKSPlays:
Please be sure to click OK after unchecking the box. If this doesn't work, let me know and we can investigate. It's working as intended on my end so there may be something interfering with it for you.
Any plans to add TomTom support so that if you click a rare on the world map you get a way point there? Would be really handy!
In reply to Hampen357:
Actually even better - the plan is to add the waypoint arrow that I used during the Hallow's End holiday. It works just like the quest tracking arrow.
Hello, can you please add option to disable minimap button? Thank for the work :)
In reply to Fattalyr:
^^^ This, please. Also if you're not aware with the new curseforge site update your addons no longer show up when you search for 'handynotes'.
In reply to morfraen:
Thanks - I think the issue is that they're only showing the top 20 results. Given a little time and a few updates mine should show up there. They're showing on Twitch at least. I noticed you posted a message on the BfA addon. As TomCat's Tours also runs in HandyNotes (you just have to enable it in the HandyNotes control panel) is there anything else you're looking for in particular? I could just add it.
To disable the minimap icon, be sure you have the optional 'TomCat's Tours' core addon installed - then you will find this feature in your addons control panel. This is a step in the direction of some optimization / consolidation.
In reply to TomCat:
Alright, thanks I'll grab that core one. Only thing really is the icons. I like the skulls the other ones use vs the circles / star you do, and the lack of mini-map / sidebar icons.
In reply to morfraen:
Well it looks like removing the minimap button is already going to be covered for you. I'll take into consideration making the stars customizeable. I would want to make sure that there is a clean solution. As you may have noticed with some of the other addons that may put an icon on the minimap over the rare's normal star icon, it's not as clean. I'll be sure to look deeper into this now that I'm aware that some folks prefer the skulls!
