Will there ever be a feature with NPCScan that puts Skulls/Icons on the map to show where Rares have a chance of appearing? Similar to SilverDragon or some HandyNotes. I mostly ask because I have used NPCScan for a long time now (I used Overlay as well but that crashes my game lately everytime I have it on) and really like it over Silverdragon.

Edit: After reading through the comments I see that you have stated that you are looking to do a complete rewrite of Overlay which basically answers my question. Looking forward to the update of it!

 You can't upload your fixes. _NPCSCan.Overlay is copyright All Rights Reserved. You can fix your copy, but you cannot upload it publicly. Torhal is one busy dude, but he'll get it working. Officially.

 

is this lib error caused by the map cord changes?  Seems like that update broke 40% of my addons.

Thanks for the addon. Some feedback - For some reason Zandalari Warbringers stopped being alerted for me. I checked settings and the warbringers are checked on to be alerted. The addon alerts me of world bosses but not the warbringers. I even get a star on my map for the warbringers they they are not alerted even with nameplates on and mouse over. Hope to find a solution to this.

Seems to have stopped working for me as of last night cannot find instance of acegui-3.0

In reply to MorticiaNoire:

Same issue.  Getting alerts for BFA rares, but too far to target or see on the mini-map so no idea where they are.  Nice to see the alerts, if the range could be tweaked a bit.

So sorry!  Didn't play in MoP so didn't recognize that this was reverting to a prior behavior.  That said, how DO I find these guys now that they aren't on my mini-map?

You can combine this (superb) addon with Handynotes.

NPCScan will tell you that the NPC is definitely there. Go to your main map and Handynotes will show you where the NPC normally spawns. Go there and you will, mostly, find him. I say "mostly" because a few NPCs roam, and they can be a little trickier to find. But this works for 90%+ of rares.
