Also, does anyone have the issue where the "y" axis slider for the mini map cannot move the the right, but only to the left? I've tried uninstalling everything, log out, close app, and install it from fresh, and it still happens.

Yes I have the map in the bottom left corner now which works surprisingly well!

Yup, I can't move the map to the right on Playstation, so it's on the far left just above the loot stream. i reported it on ESOUI, but it was kinda buried below another bug. I'll report it again.

I use Murfs Treasures and Map of Many Riches in combination and they work great together. Murfs is a brilliant time saver when I go out just to collect surveys, but I like to have them shown on the map too so when I happen to be near one I can grab them out of the bank

I just wish Murf's Treasures had another icon on map, something with more visibility.
On PC I always have been using a red cross with the Lost Treasure add-on , which pops out in the middle of everything else (resources, books, chests, etc).
The coffer icon isn't ideal when your map has a lot of stuff on display - and since Harvest Map doesn't have a visibility range limition, every resource node is display on map.

Here's how the treasure chests and survey reports are displayed on Lost Treasure

I just put a blue compass marker on mine. Harvest map was wonky when I first tried it on console so it’s not a problem for me yet.

We’ve been working with stone knives and bearskins for so long on console we aren’t too picky, lol.

My question is why libraries are listed as installable addons? Those should be hidden from view and updated/installed automatically as needed. It's not like we can do anything with them on the console.

The reason why Libs are installed like addons and shown goes way back. It used to be that Libs were nested in the addon folder when installed. You had multiple addons using the same Libs, so you had multiples of the same Libs installed in the Addons folder. As Libs were updated, with newer addons, older addons still had the older Libs in their folder. Depending on what order the addons loaded, depended on what version of a Lib was actually loaded. The last Lib of that same Lib name that loaded was the version of that Lib that was running. Often times this meant that older Libs were running instead of the latest version of the Lib. It took longer for the game to load because of having multiple versions of the Lib loading with each and every addon that used it loading the same Libs.
Libs do not update/install automatically on PC either, even using Minion (the application used to install/update addons). Trust me when I say many PC players would love to have Minion auto install the Libs needed for an addon. Many times we have to go back and find the Lib for an addon we installed. There is currently one Lib that even installing through Minion doesn't show in Minion as being installed even though it is. That is very frustrating since you have to manually search for it in Minion and check the version/update date to see if it has changed.

Anyone else having issues with the market pricing addon, Xbox eu it won't install?

Yes, I am having the same issue. It installed and worked fine when it released, but only worked that day. When I logged in the next day, I noticed it was not installed anymore. Every time I have tried to install it since then I get the spinning wheel that shows it is trying to install, but when that stops, it says not installed. It has been broken for quite a few days now.

I used to do that. Was a really good synergy too! But today Map of Many Riches updated and hijacks the "Show Map" option added by Murfs. And they didnt even do it right.

Now MoMR has a Show Map option that does nothing more than add a standard waypoint to your compass. Doesn't even pull the map up for you, as you then need to open the map, navigate to the zone in question, locate the waypoint, and then find the nearest wayshrine.

Yeah yeah, I know, lazy people problems right?

But hey, I thought it was bad form stealing (by overriding) the Show Map feature of Murfs. And didn't even do it as well. OH! And Murfs updated its icons to much much crisper and more visible icons. 100% better. So I think that will be my permanent go-to for a while. MoMR has been uninstalled from my console for courtesy violations.

I'm using the updated Map of Many Riches and it works just fine. No reason to have Murfs installed as well because they'll conflict.

MoMR has been updated with a toggable option to now only show icons for maps/surveys that are currently in your inventory and it has the option to set a waypoint from the survey/map now like Murfs. I'm not sure what more you need than that.

What do you mean by autosave?

brandyvicious · July 1

"Autobind Uncollected Set Items" by @msetten is not binding items for me at all. Add-on is up to date.

Edit: Right after I posted this, it actually did Autobind a new item that I picked up off a World Boss. However, it does not AutoBind gear retrieved from the bank that it is not in my stickerbook.

MoMR does not do anything like Murfs. Murfs doesn't set a waypoint that you have to manually look for and chase. Murf's brings up the map, centered on the target location with a highly visible map marker (which also appears on the mimimap). So all you need do is click Show Map, click on the closest wayshrine, and poof.. you're there. MoMR is nothing like that.

And it was really tacky not creating it's own unique method to set a waypoint, but instead overriding another addon's method. Especially when "Show Map" doesn't even actually show a map of any kind.

I go to the zone that I have the surveys/treasure maps for before I start looking for them on the map so I have none of those issues. As soon as I open my map I can see exactly where MoMR has set the waypoint. And the MoMR icons go away now after you claim the loot.

Maybe Murfs has been updated since I last used it but originally his left that treasure chest icon on the map and it didn't go away until you selected a different survey/map or logged off your character.

And it's not tacky, you're using two addons that are both doing the same thing so the coding is going to conflict and override each other. Last I used Murfs version you had to hit Triangle (Actions) on one of your maps and then hit down several times to select "Show Map" action to mark it. With MoMR you just go to your map in your inventory and hold Square to set waypoint. No need to open the map or go through the action menu.

Sure it is. MoMR takes over the Show Map action, and it doesn't even show a map. There is/was no "Show Map" default action attached to T-Maps and Surveys. So it's not like two different addons just randomly chose to use the exact same wording element, one of which doesn't even do what the wording suggests.

Thanks for explaining.

When addons were made available to the consoles, these 8 year old issues should have been addressed. No reason to bring bad system design to a new system.

I still need to figure out why I get the autosave save file issue.

To be fair, I don't know that MoMR itself breaks the autosave. Random addons seem to trigger it with no obvious or apparent rhyme or reason. I think addons themselves are just highlighting an underlying issue that started after the addon framework was installed in U46 (crafting tables and map system not remembering their settings).

What do you mean by autosave?

There's a random problem with the autosave on the PS5 (writing to the save game file where settings are saved) where it constantly pops up a message that it can't save to it when you install the wrong combination of addons. This combination seems to different for everyone and may or may not be fixed by uninstalling them

No you're right, it's not actually MoMT. In my case, the update made it use LibChatMessage which I can't install without the error. There are several others that I can't run for the same reason.

ZoS breaking the autosave function definitely seems like the root cause so I hope they fix it soon!
