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!

- 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. :(

- 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

If you send me your Harvest Map SavedVariables file i'll see if it's something that can be done fairly easily.

Trying to calculate a route from the existing nodes seems almost impossible since i don't have terrain info. The only way i can see this work is to manually create a route.

- Turn on "recording" mode
- Run the route hitting the nodes
- Stop recording
- Save that route

Anyone know if you can draw lines on the map?

I don't know...how do they handle routes in HarvestMap? It's main reason I keep HM around.

Hi, about the distance info, not sure how you would do that, also wasn't in my request but if you have an idea go for it, am intrigued.

Yes, about the compass clutter, if you see in my statement below I mention being able to set the distance separately than that of the map/minimap asset distance and even further to maybe separate the pins shown from the map/minimap although that would be a lot of repetitive filtering, simply being able to set the distance of the compass to less than that of the map/minimap is enough already I think.

Eg. currently in HarvestMap (HM) I set my map/minimap assets to 100m and my compass to 50m, works perfect!

If you can pull off the map/minimap and compass asset distance features in a not too distant update that would already be great.

The turning off of recently visited nodes, well, HM does it although they do state it comes with a performance hit (I have that feature on and don't notice any though) so maybe you want to skip that, not sure, I'll leave it up to you.

Those two features would already add a great convenience and usability factor to TTMP.
Something like removing visited pins for a short time so one doesn't accidentally re-visit the same marked pin would be additional "icing on the cake" as they say.

- Restrict pin drawing to a customizable radius around the player.
This should be simple enough.

- Adding pins to the compass with distance info.
Also probably not too hard but has the potential to get really cluttered, especially if one does not restrict the display to a small radius around the player.

- Removing visited pins for a short time.
This might be a bit trickier. I'll have to see if ESO provides something like a unix timestamp that could be used for this. It would have to survive a /reloadui or logout/login sequence, meaning, i would need to store that info in the SavedVariables file.

Augestflex Forum posts: 4 File comments: 164 Uploads: 0	Thanks for the Comparison! I appreciate the comparison. I have been using HarvestMap for over a year but as memory usage has grown considerably that is what caused me to look around and find TTMP. I also do not use the 3D pin option in HarvestMap nor do I have compass icons turned on. Mostly I use it for looking at the map when I want to gather and sometimes to calculate an efficient gathering route. I think I will go ahead and install TTMP to collect data and then turn on some of the features once I have a little data, so I can compare. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

PS: One thing i'd also like to point out is that TTMP uses a lot less memory than HarvestMap as the format for each asset is much more compressed.

PPS: If you want to contribute to a more complete asset file, you can upload your own SavedVariables file here:
http://www.thesidekickorder.com/bbs2...?showtopic=172
and i will merge it into the next release.

I'll see about running both to collect asset info for TTMP.
By the way, HM for me is only using ~3mb more RAM putting me at 121MB instead of 118MB as with TTMP.
That being said yesterday I got an LUA warning that the 192MB I had it set at was not enough so now its at 256MB, not sure which addon ran it up close to 192MB.

Personally I think there is plenty of room for multiple addons that do similar things. Example I have used three different minimap addons extensively before I settled on Votan's.

Just curious of the pros/cons between the two for someone who has experience with both!

Thanks!

I have used both for a few days.

Both allow you to import data so you start with a large data pool of known resources, adding your own as you go.
HarvestMap is unique in that it can overlay 3d markers on the terrain above the resource nodes. This comes at a slight performance cost, how much depends on your PC, for me its hardly noticeable.
I think HarvestMap has more nodes to start off with because it forces you to upload your data before you can download the combined one.
However, TTMP caters to more pin types so its a more complete and encompassing resource without the necessity for extra addons like lore books, shards, poi's, questmap etc...
HarvestMap also allows you to create resource gathering routes or waypoints.
When it comes to configuration and extra features HarvestMap 'currently' wins hands down. I for one like the ability to custom tune the proximity in which the pins are shown because I like to know where all node types are but if you enable them all then you can hardly see the map, there are just pins everywhere.
In HarvestMap I set it to only show nodes on my map within 100m but then I go further and say only show me pins on my compass within 50m. I also set it to turn visited node indicators off for 5min so I know which ones I have recently visited.

In Summary, HarvestMap has extra features and far more configuration options.
TTMP is much simpler to handle as you can only turn pins on and off however it covers many more types of nodes than HarvestMap therefore requiring less addons to be installed.

Up to you.

I for one would love to see some of the extra features and configuration options of HM appear in TTMP as I like TTMP's ability to track more node types and I also like its icons and clean presentation.
Showing pins on the compass and being able to set map and compass pin/icon indication proximity would be great. The extra features such as 3d markers on the terrain and route plotting aren't necessary imo.

One thing though, SirAndy is on the ball when it comes to fixes, we had reported an addon conflict issue and it was fixed really quick.

You should really just install both and try it out for yourself, I have about 50 addons, I have both installed but of course only run one at a time, I can't decide yet which I will stick with in the long run.
