Problems with MapPins

fiender66 · February 2020

MapPins is practically not more usable (and before this last patch). I get continuous messages of error when examining map. More often they say that there are too many anchors.
Please @Hoyt @Hoft do something.
Else, anyone knows some remedy?

MapPins works for me just fine.

Post the LUA errors and make sure you check the box in the lower left corner to show more info

Mappins had an update. Check that you have the current version.

I had issues when MapPins and GPS first updated. Downloading LibDebugLogger fixed it for me.

I've already done it: I have v. 1.59. BTW, my prob is both on Mac and PC

H

Here it is. As you can see the box is checked, but no further information is shown

Check that all your add-ons and libs are updated. This may not be from Map Pins but something else, as anchors are code calls that exist in virtually all add-on, and libs. I do not think that Map Pins is only doing this for you and no one else

Anchors are a normal part of any UI code in this game.

To troubleshoot turn off all add-ons and enable them one at a time after verifying that the error does not appear. Ensure that you enable any Libs that an add-on requires when enabling that add-on.
Once you find a add-on that give the error load just that one and see if it still errors. If it does not start error start re-enabling add-ons again one at a time. It maybe that you have a issue with one or more add-ons not playing nicely together

Thanks @majulook , but Map Pins is the only add-on I run. When I disable it, the error does not appear any more.
Besides, the first URL you give is an old post of mine, referring to the very same problem (and not helpful, alas).

I fear that I have to live with the error and keep using the altogether useful Map Pins, or stay w/o add ons like the console players. All in all it's more likely that I go the first route

I am getting the same error about MapPins and anchors. But I do not have Map Pins addon! I do have LibMapPins, which is a dependency of a few other addons, like Lore Books and SkyShards and Lost Treasure. Perhaps it is the library, not Map Pins?

Read the title as Magpins. Was wondering what sort of class that could be.

There is an option to add libraries to Map Pins, but I do not use it. OFC there is always the possibility that the add-on incorporates some similar kind of library by itself, I don't know

I only get this message in Tideholm and it's persisting for some reason.

@fiender66

When you removed the Map Pins add-on did you delete the Mappins.lua file from the Saved Variables folder for the add-on before you reinstalled?

Thanks for your interest in my problem, @majulook
And no, I did not it. Now I have reinstalled Map Pins after deleting the .lua file. Let's see...
Pls tell me: in the Saved Variables folder there are two .lua files (one is: ZO_Ingame.lua) that I left alone. What are they for? Thank you

@fiender66

The ZO_ingame.lua file contains saved variables for default UI. For example chat settings, WorldMap filter settings etc.
You can delete it, you will lose any changes to the games original UI such as position of chat windows and such. It will be recreated upon logging in with a character.
