Replaces the flight map with the normal world map so you don't have to keep switching between them to find the closest flight point to your destination.
Hallo and thanks for the great addon I downloaded it because I was annoyed learning acheology, always switch between the normal map and flight map.
Unfortunately, I have to do that occasionally, because some regions have so many flight points close to each other, that other symbols are covered. So too of the acheology.
Would not it be possible to adjust the opacity of the flight points? Or maybe change the flying points in size, or even about a legend to hide certain icons. Allow to change the z-order / layerorder can be alsso a solution.
Such a feature would be really great. Otherwise, how to manage a great and very useful addon.
Thanks Strike
Ps .: To add something, show the flight times would be great;)
Open up WorldFlightMap.lua in a text editor like notepad++ and go to line 86 in the file, which reads f:SetFrameLevel(2000).
On the line after that, add f:SetAlpha(0.5), save the file and /reload the interface.
SetAlpha takes a number between 0 and 1, where 0 is entirely hidden and 1 is fully opaque, you can play around with the value to see what looks good for you.
You can also try lowering the frame level (f:SetFrameLevel(2000)) to make the buttons appear below the archaeology textures, but it might prevent you from clicking on them.
That worked and actually helps a bit. Thanks for this "hack" / workaround. I think you know it yourself, but logically, it would certainly be nice for other users to be able to stop such things in the game. ;)
To prevent in certain settings that you can not click on the flight point, so you could set up a shortcut, such as "Shift" to temporarily switch to the "base map" or fully display the flight points, and then click on the flight point. Just a little idea. ;)
I realize, the installation of user options is a lot of work at first, but would certainly make the addon even more attractive and more versatile.
I have been using your addon and really like the functionality it provides. However I keep getting LUA errors when I use it in combination with Zygor guides. I have removed all other addons and keep getting this message. Both addons and up-to-date. Since I don't know whether the error is from your addon or Zygor I am passing this along to both of you in hopes this can be fixed. It certainly isn't a show stopper since the only thing that happens is I get a message from WOW stating that an addon is slowing down my game due to the following error.
Personally this looks like a Zygor error but maybe you can tell better than me. Thanks for taking a look.

The error is from a combination of this addon and Zygor, but specifically it's being caused by this addon preventing the normal flight map from loading (because it needs to show the world map instead), and Zygor assuming that the flight map will always exist after you talk to a flight master and trying to manipulate something on it that doesn't exist.
I could possibly prevent the error by creating a fake flight map frame for it to silently modify, but I'd have to sort through their code to figure out what they're trying to do and I don't really have time to do that right now.

I may have to revise my theory about this being a mac issue. It could be a conflict with another addon, someone I had testing it thought it might be AngryWorldQuests, but whatever the issue was, my latest version should prevent it from happening.
If you have an easy way to get a list of your addons, it would help narrow down the pool of suspects.
Seems to be a bug in the 7.3.0.5 version that causes the entire game to instantly close when you right-click the map to zoom out from the Vindicaar teleporter.
Seems to be a bug with the mac client involving textures, I'm working on a fix for it.
Are you using a mac?
You can download the latest version from here https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/worldflightmap/files when it gets approved, as curse is having issues with its cache right now and isn't updating this page with the newest files.
