- About Mobmap
Mobmap
As you all know, Mobmap comes in 2 languages. English, and German.
English
The MobMap Addon is an ingame database browser. It displays the positions of all known mobs and NPCs on the ingame map as well as the minimap - much like you know from the established web databases, but INGAME!. MobMap will also integrate itself into your questlog which makes finding quest mobs as easy as clicking a button!
In addition to that, MobMap also has a quest database that you can search by various criteria, a merchant database which lets you browse the offerings of all known merchants in WoW and a profession/recipe database that contains data about the necessary reagents for various recipes!
You can open MobMap ingame either by using the new button added to the world map, by defining a key binding for MobMap or by using the command /mobmap show
MobMap does not get any data from an online database as you play WoW. Instead, it works with a local database copy installed together with the addon itself in your addon folder which gets loaded on-demand (currently this database occupies ~3-4 Mbytes of addon memory when it is fully loaded, MobMap itself only needs 190 kbytes until you use it the first time). This database however is being built by a web application running at http://www.mobmap.de. You can download the newest version of the database on this website, and if you download and extract the zip file available here, you will HAVE TO get an up-to-date version of the database in your preferred language (german or english) manually from the MobMap website, otherwise your MobMap installation won't work!
To make it easier for you to keep MobMap and its database up-to-date, I provide a windows application called the MobMapUpdater. This application does not have to be run in parallel with WoW, you just fire it up whenever you want to check for updates or upload collected data.
If you choose the MobMapInstaller.exe download available here or on the MobMap website, a wizard will comfortably install the MobMap addon with a copy of either the german or english database (your choice) and the MobMapUpdater (if you want it).
The data in the MobMap database is gathered in the same way as the data of all the well-known web databases: by users submitting data collected while they play the game. MobMap also contains such a data-collection mechanism which is enabled by default (you can, however, disable it if you don't want to contribute to the database). There are two ways to upload this data to the database: the manual upload via an export function in the addon and the MobMap website and the more comfortable one-click-upload via the MobMapUpdater. In both cases only non-personal game information is uploaded, neither your account or character name nor any other personal information is being submitted.
At the moment, the quest/merchant/profession databases are still pretty empty, as they have been added much later than the position database in the beta test phase. But if many users contribute their collected data to the database (and I strongly encourage you to do so, it's just one click with the MobMapUpdater tool!), this 'problem' should be solved soon.

German
Das MobMap-Addon ist ein Ingame-Datenbank-Browser. Es zeigt euch die Position jedes ihm bekannten Mobs bzw. NPCs auf der Weltkarte an - ähnlich wie die bekannten Web-Datenbanken, aber komplett ingame! MobMap integriert sich auch ins Questlog und ermöglicht das Auffinden vieler Questmobs mit einem einzigen Klick!
Außerdem enthält MobMap eine Quest-Datenbank, die nach verschiedensten Kriterien gefiltert werden kann, eine Händlerdatenbank, in welcher alle bekannten Händler und deren Angebotslisten verzeichnet sind und eine Berufsdatenbank, in welcher man die nötigen Reagenzien für jedes bekannte Rezept nachschlagen kann.
Du kannst MobMap ingame entweder über den neuen Button auf der Weltkarte, über eine im Tastaturbelegungsmenü von WoW einstellbare Tastenkombination oder über /mobmap show aufrufen.
MobMap fragt nicht bei einer Online-Datenbank nach, während du spielst. Stattdessen bezieht es seine Informationen aus einer lokalen Datenbank-Kopie, die zusammen mit dem Addon im WoW-Addon-Ordner liegt und bei der ersten Nutzung von MobMap dynamisch geladen wird (momentan benötigt diese Datenbank ca. 3-4 Mbyte an Addon-Speicher, wenn alle Teile geladen sind - MobMap selbst braucht nur 190 kbyte). Diese Datenbank wird von einer Web-Applikation erzeugt, die auf http://www.mobmap.de läuft. Dort kannst du jederzeit eine aktuelle Kopie der Datenbank in deiner bevorzugten Sprachversion (deutsch oder englisch) herunterladen, und wenn du hier das .zip-File mit dem Addon zum ersten Mal installiert hast musst du das sogar tun, denn in diesem File wird KEINE Datenbank mitgeliefert.
Um das Aktualisieren von MobMap und deiner lokalen Datenbank-Kopie so einfach wie möglich zu machen gibt es den MobMapUpdater, eine Windows-Applikation, über welche du mit wenigen Klicks sowohl das Addon als auch die Datenbank aktualisieren kannst. Der MobMapUpdater muss dabei nicht parallel mit WoW laufen, sondern muss nur gestartet werden, wenn du nach Updates suchen oder gesammelte Daten hochladen möchtest.
Falls du die MobMapInstaller.exe-Datei hier oder auf der MobMap-Website herunterlädst und ausführst, wird ein komfortabler Installer sowohl das MobMap-Addon als auch eine Kopie der Datenbank in deiner bevorzugten Sprachversion installieren. Außerdem bietet der Installer dir die Möglichkeit, den MobMapUpdater mitzuinstallieren.
Die Daten für die MobMap-Datenbank werden genauso gesammelt wie die Daten aller bekannten Web-Datenbanken: viele Spieler laden freiwillig die durch ein Addon während sie spielen gesammelten Daten hoch. MobMap enthält ebenfalls solch einen Datensammel-Mechanismus, der standardmäßig eingeschaltet ist (du kannst ihn aber auch deaktivieren, falls du keine neuen Daten zur Datenbank beitragen willst). Es gibt zwei Wege, wie Daten hochgeladen werden können: entweder manuell über die Export-Funktion im Addon und die MobMap-Website oder ganz einfach mit einem Klick im MobMapUpdater. In beiden Fällen werden nur nicht-personenbezogene aus dem Spiel gesammelte Daten hochgeladen, sensible Daten wie dein Accountname oder die Namen deiner Charaktere werden weder gesammelt noch hochgeladen.
Im Moment sind die Questdatenbank, die Händlerdatenbank und die Rezeptdatenbank noch ziemlich leer. Aber wenn möglichst viele User ihre gesammelten Daten hochladen (und ich kann jeden nur dazu ermutigen, mit dem MobMapUpdater kostet das Ganze dich nur einen einzigen Klick!) sollte sich dieses 'Problem' recht schnell lösen lassen.
Updates und Infos zur fortschreitenden Weiterentwicklung von MobMap gibt es auf dem MobMap development blog (nur englischsprachig)!

dragonsbait saidThis is one of my favorite addons off all time, I have used this since before it came to curse, and can say overall, this addon is a must have. However, now that I am using Cartographer 3, there is no real way to turn it off after showing an overlay of the map. Can you and cknight please work on this to resolve this issue?

greywolf158 saidEvery time I let Client download Mobmap it is always out of date. You are showing version 1.4 and 1.6 was released today. I like you website but I am not happy when client wants to update my addons. I know you are working all of the problems and I appreciate all that you are doing. I will remove client from my computer for the time being to keep from getting programs that are not up-to-date. I will do an individaul download. Again thanks for the website.

FanDJango saidIf you get this error:
Message: ..\AddOns\MobMap\MobMap.lua line 2563:
attempt to concatenate global 'GOLD' (a nil value)
correct ModMap.lua lines around 2563 to look like this:
function MobMap_GetMoneyFromMoneyString(str)
local gold, silver, copper;
if(GOLD~=nil) then gold=string.match(str,"(%d+) "..GOLD); end;
if(gold==nil) then gold=0; end
if(SILVER~=nil) then silver=string.match(str,"(%d+) "..SILVER); end;
if(silver==nil) then silver=0; end
if(COPPER~=nil) then copper=string.match(str,"(%d+) "..COPPER); end;
if(copper==nil) then copper=0; end
return gold*10000+silver*100+copper;
