********CHANGES*************
V2.51 Hotfix Patch 3/1/06
-Fixed the minimap button(also smaller now) so its much easier to click
-Added the extra dropdowns for original mapnotes users
-The dropdown menu now Appears in the right place Everytime(I think)
-some other minor optimizations that probably wont change the way anything functions so its not really imprtant


V2.51 Update 2/20/06
Added Dropdown menues on Metamap/CT/KnowlegeBase(inc menu) notes**Did not add this functionality for the original mapnotes as its pretty much morphed into metamap

V2.50 Update 2/8/06
Updated TOC
Added MetaMap Support(Including Knowlege Base)
Added French Localization
Improved Options menu(slightly)
Added Maplibrary support for actual distance in yards
Slight Code enhancements


[MapNotes or CT_MapMod Strongly Recommended]
-While this Mod will function as a standalone it is highly reccomended that you use it in conjunction with MapNotes or CT_MapMod to get the most out of its potential


now the important stuff
--Slash Commands--
/bwp or /betterwaypoints will toggle the Options menu
/bwp help will display a list of slash commands
-------------------

Functions -
Provides a (moveable/hideable) Drop down menu with nearby mapnotes/Questgivers

Selecting a note will create an arrow over the players head point to the mapnote and might up the note on your minimap

Alternativly, Selecting a note from the map(standard mapnotes) will create the Arrow to guide you to the note

If you die a temporary mapnote will be placed at your corpse with an arrow back to it

If you visit a quest NPC it will create a temporary mapnote(only available on dropdown) that will create an arrow to guide you to the NPC provided you are in the same zone. Once you have no more quests from that NPC the selection will delete itself

If a Guard in town gives you dirrections an arrow will lead you to your destination

added a selection to party members dropdown menus(you know just right click their character portrait) that allows you to set the party member as your destination

thats it its just a plug in for map notes
----
(added what i think is a bad idea the ability to allow unlimited length in the dropdown to use this feature(Unwise!)
type : /script BWP_Hide.Bad_Idea = 1
to re enable shortening of titles
type: /script BWP_Hide.Bad_Idea = nil
[I made it intentionally difficult to do to prevent accidentally using]
(Again I stress I do not reccommend using this feature and you do so at your own risk))
