Carbonite waypointing and farming routes

[daeymien]

When going through the farming sections of the profession levelling guides while using Carbonite waypointing, the routes/points are not being set as of the 3.3.2957 update.

Not sure if this was happening previously or not as I swap between 2 PCs, one with and one without Carbonite and just happened to want to continue a farming run on the one that has Carb.

Further testing

Dug a little deeper with this and found out something interesting.

Normally when using Carbonite waypointing, you can manually set a Goto point somewhere else and it'll stick. During the route steps, however, if you manually set a Goto with Carbonite it will be immediately cleared.

That begs a question of whether the waypoints for routing steps are being constantly set/updated. If they are in some sort of update loop, that could be part of the unrelated problem of some people getting FPS/lag issues rather than the "ants".

We have set in the option to turn off the ants or even change the spacing. We have not been able to duplicate this problem still and this should allow people to use the farming sections without having the FPS issues as well. Thanks for the information.

Just figured I'd throw that part out there since I know on one of my older systems, any addon that loops with short delay on fuctions completely kills the framerate.

Regardless, Carbonite waypointing support is still essentially broken at this point for the farming routes. When you get to a farming step you get the "farm XX til XX" but no waypoints to go by and can't even use Carbonite's built-in routing to shown gather nodes as the waypoints get wiped immediately on being set as long as the farm step is visible in the guide. Only solution I've found so far is to swap back to the built-in waypointing for that step then change back to Carb waypointing after.

Any word on getting the farming routes in the guide working with Carbonite waypointing yet?

The TomTom and Carbonite backends have indeed been lacking the support of waypaths. We are working on it at the moment, here's a little teaser:

The word is now «Fixed». The changes should appear in the next update since rev.3018. Carbonite now correctly supports the gathering paths steps. Moreover, we made sure Carbonite would optimize the route first guiding you to the closest waypoint on gathering and multiple waypoint steps. TomTom also seems to be lacking the support for such steps, it will be fixed soon as well.

Update: TomTom is also working, just for the information, though the ants are disabled by now. Keeping the thread alive in case something turns out after update.

Update 2: Ants now are working as well, configuration option moved up from its current group.

I updated and Ants are still causing same issue and now using TomTom arrow seems to freeze up my wow. I haven't yet tried to disable other addons but I just wanted to give you forewarning something still isn't right. I'll update this once I've had a chance to try and disable other addons so I can let you know which conflict or if I still have issue with it by itself.

Just to update it works by itself on my set up so there is a conflict somewhere. I will report back again once I go one by one adding back my addons

Ok minimapbutton bag seems to be doing it ( now I've got buttons all over lol)

Thank you for the report. I'll tightly occupy myself with it as soon as I finish my current task. Won't be long I promise.

No problem... I am not sure if there is anything you would be able to do I found a different minimap button addon which seems to work fine. When I use MBB (minimap button bag) it seems to suppress the arrows on the minimap as well. So it may be something you guys can't control. For those who happen to use MBB and find yourself with this issue Minimap Button Frame doesn't have the issue and still keeps your minimap clutter free.

That's an easy fix thing. When you left click on MBB, move your mouse over to the arrow and either left or right click it and it puts it back on the minimap. The only reason MBB touches the arrow is b/c it perceives it as a minimap button. It's not broken coding or any other kind of error. I use MBB and it took me like 5 minutes to figure out where my arrow had gone to and how to fix it.
