TTMP: The Tamriel Mapping Project  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 3.5.1
by: SirAndy [More]
TTMP - The Tamriel Mapping Project
A simple AddOn that allows tracking of material nodes, chests, quests, lorebooks, treasure maps and much more!

- Most assets (wood/ore/cloth nodes, runes, chests etc) are added automatically to the map as they are interacted with.
- Custom map filters allow you to choose what assets are displayed on your map.
- You can choose between two icon sets and assign custom colors to each icon type.
- Can import data from other TTMP users (See TTMP Merge info below).
- Can import HarvestMap data.
- Supports the English, German, French and Russian version of the game (Although the interface and chat commands are still in English).

Needed Libraries
LibMapPins-1.0
LibAddonMenu-2.0

- Looking for help translating TTMP to Japanese
- Looking for help to fix the somewhat broken Russian translation
If you want to help, please contact me!

Latest Updates
- Fixed debug messages that were always showing
Thanks to @Mix for reporting the issue!
- Updated to API Version 100035
- Thanks to @dlrgames for sharing their SavedVariables file, it has been merged into this release!

If you want to start using TTMP with my latest Asset file that already contains over 63,000 tracked Assets, please download the latest "TTMP: Saved Variables" file and follow the installation instructions.

Known Issues
Ever since ZOS re-scaled the Auridon map a lot of nodes exist multiple times.
I cleaned up most of the map by now but there may still be some duplicates.

IMPORTANT - ACHTUNG - ATTENTION - WICHTIG
If you already have TTMP installed, do *NOT* overwrite your "SavedVariables" file with a newer version!
DON'T DO IT! There really is no reason to ever replace the "SavedVariables/TamrielMapping.lua" file directly.
You will lose everything you have ever mapped yourself!

Only touch the "SavedVariables/TamrielMapping.lua" file if:

- This is your first install of TTMP and you want to start with my latest asset file instead of creating your own (empty) file.
See "Using my latest Asset file" for instructions on how to use my latest "SavedVariables" file.

- You already have TTMP and you want to merge my latest asset file with yours. If so, follow the TTMPMerge instructions!

____________________
Installation/Update:
Simply unzip the download and copy the 'TamrielMapping' folder into your ESO "AddOns" folder and restart ESO.
If you're updating to a newer version, simply replace the whole folder.
If you also downloaded my latest saved Assets, see the section below.

_______________________
Using my latest Asset file:
If you don't want to start fresh, you can use my latest "SavedVariables" file, which already has over 63,000 tracked assets.
Simply drop my "SavedVariables/TamrielMapping.lua" into your ESO "SavedVariables" folder.

TTMP - SavedVariables (v3.5.0)
File info: Last updated on 2021.06.06, contains 63,085 tracked assets

NOTE:
Please make sure your text editor supports utf8, especially if you're playing in French, German or Russian!

_______________________
Updating your Asset file:
If you have already used TTMP, you can use my "SavedVariables/TamrielMapping.lua" file and the TTMPMerge AddOn to merge my latest asset file with your existing one.
In fact, you can merge files from any other TTMP user as well.

TTMPMerge AddOn (v3.5.0)

USAGE:
To use TTMPMerge you need to:

- Get my (or someone else's) "SavedVariables/TamrielMapping.lua" file
- Rename it to "TTMPMerge.lua"
- Copy it into your "SavedVariables" folder
- Open it with a text editor (make sure your text editor supports utf8!) and replace "TamrielMapping_Vars" in the first line with "TTMPMerge_Vars".
- Start ESO, enable TTMPMerge, load into a character and use the /ttmp merge command.

You can run a "test" by using "/ttmp merge test" which will process the new file but not make any changes to your local TTMP file.

NOTE:
Running a merge will freeze the game for several seconds, depending on how large the file is you're trying to import. This is OK!
It shouldn't take any longer than 5 - 10 seconds.

As always, please make sure you have a backup of your existing "SavedVariables" files before doing a merge!

TTMP Usage:
/ttmp cmd (comment)

TTMP Commands to add Assets:
ore wood cloth water rune reagent plant chest
backpack pack sack crate map fish fissure
shard book quest survey poi(nt) trove box clam site


Commands can be followed by an optional comment, for example 'shard 6' or 'book Manual of Spellcraft'.

Other TTMP Commands:
save -> Saves all your newly found Assets to disk. Note that this will also reload the UI.
By default newly found Assets are only saved to disk when you logout to the character select screen!

del xxx -> Deletes Asset xxx at your current position where xxx is the type. For example 'del backpack'

pos -> Lists your current position on the map.

list (all) -> List a count of all Assets in the current zone.
If you specify 'all', Assets are counted for all zones!

merge (test) (all) -> Merge new Assets from a merge file.
By default only Assets that don't already exist in your local file are imported.
If you specify 'test', info about the merger is displayed but nothing as actually imported.
If you specify 'all', everything is imported and your existing Assets may be overwritten!
Note: This requires the TTMPMerge AddOn to be installed.

importhm (test) -> Experimental HarvestMap importer.
This will try to import assets from your HarvestMap AddOn install.
If you specify 'test', info about the merger is displayed but nothing is actually imported.

TTMP Configuration:
/ttmpcfg -> Shows the TTMP Config menu.

NOTE:
By default certain nodes are *NOT* shown on your map!
Please go to your Map Filters (the funnel looking icon between the key and the pin) and select what icons you want to see on the map!

pChat will crash and burn if one writes nested colorized strings to the chat window!
TTMP now detects if pChat is loaded and then omits some of the chat info coloring to prevent ESO from freezing.
Special thanks to @zasy99 and @msan for helping identifying the offending AddOn!
- Several minor bug fixes

## 1.7.0

- Added function overload for FISHING_MANAGER.StartInteraction to get info about the last object we interacted with
- Fixed auto-loot bug, everything now works correctly with or without auto-loot turned on/off
- Streamlined some of the code and removed several redundant/unneeded calls

## 1.5.1
- Changed versioning numbers to be more in line with the ESO API version number
- (Partially) fixed bug where nodes were not added to the map when auto-loot was enabled.
Resource nodes like wood, ore, reagents etc. are now added correctly as are locked chests.
However, containers like backpacks, heavy sacks etc do not yet work with auto loot.
Neither OnLootUpdate() nor GetInteractionType() nor GetGameCameraInteractableActionInfo()
work with auto loot. :(

- Added basic support for localization. TTMP now works correctly in "en", "de" and "fr".
However, any display (menu, lables etc.) is still english only as are chat commands.

- Simplified the available /ttmp chat commands
- Changed the way the 'list' command counts Assets and added an 'all' option

## 1.0.4

## 1.0.3
- Added support for the Thieves Guild patch
- Added "Thieves Trove" tracking

## 1.0.2
- Added additional color settings for chat text output to the settings menu
- Added a 'merge' command that allows for merging of SavedVariables files from other users that contain additional map assets.
This requires the TTMPMerge AddOn to be installed. TTMPMerge is a simple stub that loads the new asset file into memory.
Once loaded, TTMP can access the new data and loop through it and add/update any new assets from the file.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented Heavy Sacks/Crates from being added to the map
- Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented Cloth nodes from being added to the map
- Fixed a bug that prevented backpacks that had no items in them after opening them from being added to the map
- Fixed a bug in the duplicate asset detection function that could result in assets being moved instead of being ignored

## 1.0.1
- Updated to the latest version of LibMapPins
- Fixed a bug in the code that prevented recognizing map changes when other AddOns are installed that
also look for map changes, like AUI's minimap for example
- Adjusted the distance for detecting duplicate entries in dungeons to better deal with smaller dungeons

## 1.0.0
- Added option to individually tint the map icons by type
- Added support for new resource types introduced with the Orsinium patch
- Updated to the latest version of LibMapPins, LibAddonMenu

## 0.1.1
- Added support for new resource types introduced with the IC patch (Imperial City)

The map name is now only updated whenever a zone/map changes.

I can confirm that. Also, with only TTMP 1.7.0 enabled, the game loads fine, as soon as i enable all other addons, the game hangs until it crashes.
@Elmseeker @msan
Woah, that's not good!

What other AddOns do you guys run? Please list them here. Seems like there's a conflict somewhere.

The default way of how ESO saves AddOn data is by using the @AccountName tag in the SavedVariables files. From there you can go to "$AccountWide" data (which is what i did) or go down to the character level and store data for different characters.
I'm not sure if there is a way to get around that, all the LUA functions i have seen access saved data through functions that assume the @AccountName is present.
I found a way to get around the @AccountName issue, starting with version 1.7.0 TTMP uses a global asset list that does not require changing account names in the file anymore.

That reminds me, maybe i should have a setting to let people decide what they want to track, not just to filter the display (like currently).

That way, someone *could* track cooking fires while other people would not and it wouldn't clog up their map.

"Beginner Developer" is cute, but doesn't really describe me.


Now, as i stated already, i started TTMP for myself and my guild members during the closed beta with a very specific purpose (Mapping all of Tamriel).

I posted it here because it's working well, it's easy to use and comes with over 20,000 tracked assets already loaded (Adding new ones daily).
Simple as that ...

I'm not forcing anyone to give up HM. You can keep using HM. That's perfectly fine with me.

Dunno, never used Harvest Map or any other mapping AddOn.

I started working on TTMP during beta.
The idea being to eventually map *all* resources across Tamriel (hence the name) in every zone and dungeon.

I'm not sure if Harvest Map allows you to place custom icons (poi = point of interest) on the map with your own description.

I also tried to keep the storage as small as possible (to avoid LUA memory issues). Compared to HM, my SavedVariables file is much smaller since i use a much more compact data format than the serialized storage used by HM.


Does it track all the assets listed below?

You seem to just want to...show where everything is, I guess? Every pin in a given category is either shown or hidden. It's your mod, and certainly your prerogative to make it function the way you want, this is just going to be the common feedback from users on this topic.
I know this is pretty much what you asked for, the difference in my response was based on the fact that wolfeng mentioned that there are already AddOns out there that do that. That means that i may be able to find a way to do this without having to spend countless hours trying to find the right API calls. While this is still not what i had originally planned for TTMP, being able to look at code of other AddOns could provide a shortcut to implementing such a functionality.

No intention to re-implement a complete AddOn but it's worth having a look to see what and how they did this.

A FIFO might just be the way. Something like 100 nodes should be plenty. By the time they start rolling over the first ones should have respawned already anyways.
