Carbonite Mapping...

[dychem]

Now that carbonite is up and running (best detailed map ever i seen) the "use carbonite waypoint arrow" option is not working, it does not point in the right direction nor do the "ants" activate on the carbonite map... not sure if it is a Zygor thing or a carbonite thing, is it possible for you to contact carbonite developer and work out this issue

Thanks in Advance,
Mark

There have been problems like this with Carbonite for a while. I do not know if this is something that will be addressed soon as there are other problems in the guides that need to be fixed first.

Also nothing to do with carbonite mapping, but i am noticing that the gear suggestion is not working either

Gear suggestion problems are a known issue and we have a new gear system in testing to fix them.

Back to the mapping issue here is a reply from the developer when i asked him about the functionality

"I know it's going to sound like a loop, them saying I need to fix it, and me saying they need to fix it, but it actualy is them who needs to update. They wrote code for the old Carbonite and it does not work any longer because of changes made, they will need to update that code to reflect the changes in how things work."

Can you take the time to try and see if there is anything you can do... i have been a client of Zygor for a few years now if not more and the carbonite and zygor working together makes for a lethal add-on they worked really great together.

He has it so there are different parts to his add-on now, he has just the map add-on as a separate entity so it might be easy to incorporate it.

We will look into this, but right now there are much bigger bugs in the guides that take a higher priority. It could be a while before this is looked at.

I haven't used Carbonite since Burning Crusade, but having parsed Carb's forums, I've gathered that the old code used map names ("Nagrand") rather than mapIDs, which are numbers and unique. Carb's author is changing over to mapIDs in order to fix duplicate map names and future-proof in case Blizzard does this again.

That is by far and away the largest bug in Carbonite, and since ZGV adds elements to the map, I can see why there is a conflict.

To be clear, ZGV does not have this bug, and it sounds like Carbonite is getting updated, but the one file that connected the two AddOns is the one that needs updating.

However, even though I do not use Carbonite any longer, I do agree with Zygor that their own product should be a priority.
