About Gatherer

Gatherer is an addon for herbalists, miners and treasure hunters in World of Warcraft. It's main purpose is to track the closest plants, deposits and treasure locations on your minimap.

The addon does not track like a tracking ability does, rather it "remembers" where you have found various items in the past. It does this whenever you gather (perform herbalism, mining or opening) on an item, and records the specific map location in its history. From then on, whenever the item comes into range of being one of the closest 1-25 (configurable) items to your present location, it will pop up on you minimap.

When you view your World Map, you will also see the item locations marked on the particular map you are viewing there.

For more information, please visit us at http://www.gathereraddon.com/

USAGE:

Just use the game as normal. When you gather things, they will appear on your minimap and your main map. If you want to configure the addon, click the Gatherer configuration icon floating around your minimap frame or type /gather options.

CONTRIBUTING:

Gatherer is an open source project, and is built upon the donations and the support of the community.

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

I would love a sound whenever a node is within track distance. That way you might collect some nodes you otherwise would have missed because you didn't pay enough attention to the minimap.

DreadKnight,

There is no way to obtain such information from the Blizzard API. Until such functionality is added/enabled, there is nothing we can do.

Thank you for the feedback, though,

Nikk

MadsNicolai,

What would you like updated? There have been no changes requiring an update since 3.1.2 has been out.

Is something not working for you?

Thank you,

Rather than deal with this addon's overall bloat, overzealous configuration options, and strange visuals, I'd recommend folks consider using GatherMate instead. GatherMate has a significantly smaller memory footprint and tracks things that Gatherer doesn't.

Koitsu,

What sort of software are you using to benchmark and then track system resource usage? What numbers are you seeing using GatherMate, installed alone, and Gatherer installed alone?

Gatherer's configuration options are set so that if you do not even access the configuration, the nodes being tracked by a character are what are displayed. The rest of the configuration options are there in response to user requests and are not required to be used, if not needed.

As with cars, houses, games, computers, food, et cetera, every addon will never meet every need of every user. We welcome anyone to try any of the options available and use the one that meets their needs.

Nikk

Nelfish,

Could you please take the error text and post that over on the main support forum, http://forums.norganna.org/12/ .

When posting over there, please let us know if you are using an English or other language client.

Hope you are back grabbing stuff soon,

Dugowt1,

The nodes should be fine- they are stored, as is every client setting, in the ..\WorldofWarcraft\WTF directory while the processing part is found in ..\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\Addons.

To be safe, you should back up both directories just in case there are any issues- that way you can alway use your backup file. We recommend that you back up the WTF folder every few days and the Addons directory any time you update an Addon or there is a major WoW patch.

Happy Upgrading,

Nikk

ChildHoodHorror,

We have considered that in the fast, but honestly, there are about 30 other addons that provide coordinates.

We try to keep Gatherer as streamlined as possible, so we will most likely not be doing so- that said, you can try one of the others, such as those by Darcey http://my.curse.com/users/darcey/ or, if you want a full featured coordinate mod check out the wizardry of Cladhaire http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7032-TomTom.html .

Even though this specific item may not make it in, right now anyway, we do appreciate the input- please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything else you think may be of help.

Happy location scouting,

Nikk

F460Juno,

As seen in the files section, the current version of Gatherer is 3.1.2.

Based upon the error/stack trace you have 3.0.

You need to update to the latest release, you can either choose the file above or visit the main site at http://GathererAddOn.Com/dl/ . Full installation instructions can be found at http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/24/#w_installation-guide/ .

Happy Gatherering,

Nikk

Hi, I just installed Gatherer 3.1.2 as well as the DB but now whenever I am tracking herbs there are these little herb icons at my feet that constantly change. (My guess is that they are telling me to go that direction to get a certain herb. I also use Quest Helper and Cartographer. Can anyone please help me get rid of the herb icons at my feet? Thanks!

Minnow321,

Without a screen shot, sounds like the HUD, heads up display, is showing low on your screen.

If you go into the options, then the HUD section, you can move the HUD to any location on the screen or disable it altogether.

Hope this helps,

Nikk

VBenitez,

Check the options- if the items are being added to the DB, then the only thing stopping them from showing are the settings.

Be sure to review the subsections for the minimap, the game map, and the HUD.

Let us know if that solves your issue,

Nikk
