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/
Gatherer DB WoWHead - A database of node locations provided by http://www.wowhead.com/

INSTALLATION

Extract the data to your "World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns" directory so that the "Gatherer" directory is a subdirectory of the "AddOns" directory.

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.

Slash Commands

/gather minimap (on|off|toggle) - controls the minimap tracking functionality
/gather mainmap (on|off|toggle) - controls the world map tracking functionality
/gather dist <n> - sets the minimap tracking distance to this number of units. (in game yards)
/gather num <n> - sets the maximum number of items to display (default=20, up to 50)
/gather herbs (on|off|toggle) - select whether to show herb data on the minimap")
/gather ore (on|off|toggle) - select whether to show mining data on the minimap")

    How is this add-on open source, when it's so hard to have one account's gathers to move to an other account on one computer?
    Me and my GF are both working on professions we both have gathered nodes from. Any way to merge them that we both have each other's finds, and we share the new finds?

    I've searched the forums and found one topic [edot: I did on purpose not link the site, but looking in the "About Gatherer"  I see the link to the 'Norganna'-forums/site] with a link to an other website which I still am running now, but the screen is blank and remains like that.

    Any answers that could be given here?

    Gatherer "out of date"

    Hi - I just installed 3.2.4 via Curse Client, on a Win7 PC and when I fire up WOW I get a out of date on the Gatherer apps (not in Curse, but in addons in WOW.)   I did an uninstall and a manual install and get the same thing.  No other issues with any other addons.  Any ideas on what could be wrong?

    It's because Gatherer hasn't been updated since June 2011. It doesn't work anymore due to so much changing in the past year.

    Robawsm,

    As noted in a couple responses, you can either use the Beta from our main site, http://gathereraddon.com/dl/Gatherer/ , place a checkmark in the "Load out of date" checkbox in the main WoW AddOns Control Panel, or update the TOC file manually in each of the AddOns, but that is no fun.

    The easiest thing is to select the option to 'Load Out of Date'.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Nikk Cool

    Thanks.... and thanks for not blasting me with a "read the other comments" like you should have.  I updated the TOC files (it was kind of fun really)  Laughing   

    I now wonder if it was loading when I selected load out of date and I just wasn't doing a good job looking.

    Anyway - Great add on, and thanks for the help.  look for my donaiton.

    In my experience, any time there's an update or patch to the game itself, some (usually most) of the add-ons become "out-of-date", in the sense that the version of the game they were written for is not as current as the version of the game you'd now be playing. However in the vast majority of cases this only means that the add-ons are out-of-date in regard to their version number, but are still up-to-date in terns of functionality. That's why it's always best to just keep the "load out-of-date add-ons" option checked, and download updates whenever there are any (I check Curse Client like once a week), and only IF you get any error messages in-game or find something not working right, then go check the add-ons themselves for updates or post here for help, or simply disable (i.e. uncheck) the add-on that's having problems until there is an update for it.

    Try incorperating the mini map radar / pings into the HUD.  The point is not only to keep the potental nodes in field of view but the populated ones as well.  It defeats the purpose to have to look up at the mini-map to see if a node is active.

    Riepcheek,

    The HUD is there to help with navigation, but it cannot, due to limitations place by Blizzard, show the yellow/active node(s).

    Gatherer shows the locations on the minimap and works with many AddOns that allow you to move it/use it like the HUD - which does/can show the yellow/active nodes.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Bruno,

    That was a known issue, since the ptBR locale did not exist when this version was created.

    As noted below:
    Unfortunately the main developer has had other r/l issues which required their attention, so Gatherer has sort of been in limbo.

    All that said, we have been trying to do some updates, so please try out the beta built 11May2012 3.3.xx from our main site http://gathereraddon.com/dl/Gatherer/.  That includes all sorts of things, like the more recent gatherables, Archaeology goodies, and more.

    As this is a beta/gamma - first, close completely out of WoW and make a backup of:

    ..\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\AddOns

    ..\WorldofWarcraft\WTF\Account\<YourWowAccountName>\SavedVariables

    Then, just download the zip, uncompress, and move the four resultant files, Gatherer, GathererHUD, SlideBar, and Swatter to ..\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\AddOns .

    Give that a try and then let us know of your findings.

    Happy Gatherering,

    Nikk Cool

    Nick123321,

    OSX will automatically decompress when you download, but you need to grab Gatherer, GathererHUD, SlideBar, and Swatter from that main downloaded directory, and move the four files to ..\WorldofWarcraft\Interface\AddOns.

    Happy Gatherering,
