Cartographer

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

CARTOGRAPHER HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR 3.3!!!

DO NOT CREATE BUG REPORTS SAYING IT IS BROKEN!

There are no plans to do any major bug fixes for Cartographer (v2 or v3). If there is an update it will only be a minor fix. (It has already been this way since at least 2008.) Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite. Neither of the two main developers (Ckknight and Arrowmaster) have the time nor desire to do this currently. Occasionally a new version might be released to include fixes made by other developers or new versions of embedded libraries.

Cartographer is a modular, lightweight, and efficient framework for manipulation of the world map. It is based on Rock and other libraries of the WoWAce community.

Battlegrounds : allows viewing of battlegrounds outside of the zone.
Coordinates : adds coordinates to the bottom of the world map of the player and the cursor.
Foglight : Shows unexplored areas on the map. replacement for MozzFullWorldMap or Unexplorer. Much more efficient, though.
Group Colors : turns all your party's and your raid's POIs into circles colored based on class, and shows a number on them based on their raid group.
Instance Maps : shows maps of instances.
Instance Notes : adds boss notes and such to instance maps.
Look 'n' Feel : allows you to change the transparency, position, and scale of the world map.
Notes : lets you put notes on the map, similar to MapNotes.
Zone Info : on hovering over a zone, it will show the levels of the zone, the instances in the zone, their levels, and the group size the instance is made for (e.g. 5-man, 40-man).

STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT CARTOGRAPHER 3 AND TRY THE SUGGESTED ALTERNATIVES LISTED ABOVE!

They all work better than Cartographer2 and are better maintained.

I hope that you continue to work on this mod, because I really like it. In particular I love in BGs how each class is colored, and red flashing dots symbolize fights going on. :) Very useful.

There is already a mod that does the google maps type deal. Carbonite.

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/carbonite-quest.aspx
http://www.carboniteaddon.com/

I tried it and it annoyed the piss out of me. I then went back to my trusty ol cartographer within 3 minutes.

Please please please stick with the format it is now, the googlemaps thing blows. Waste of screen space, gets in the way and constantly needs to be repositioned, and we already have a minimap....

So some people are saying this works, some are saying it does not. It made it work for me.. Maybe it only works on macs? Either way, worth a try.

Developed on windows, probably more that some people dont know how to install it properly or that they have other addons / interfaces that are conflicting

@moncai RE cartographer quest info (i.e.http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info9020-Cartographer_QuestInfo.html)
I made the corrections you listed below and still getting an error message. I really dont even care about the quest database i just want the 2 page quest log appearance. Now part of the problem is my quest info Toc file everything is horizontal instead of vertical, i found the code that needed to be changed but i'm wondering if there is a spacing problem involved.

First of all, we don't need a google map mod in wow, I mean the map isn't that freaking big that one needs to zoom into every inch of it just for finding stuff.
Plus that Cartographer has a ton of plugins where most of us saved loads of notes.
So thanks to AbydosLanti and others to try keeping the good old one working.

Remember to give credits to those who modded a file instead of just linking it and taking credit for others work. ;)

If you're going to recommend software for compression and uncompression how about one that has open source code and is free?

yeah you have to very very very slowly and carefully move the mouse down on top of it from the top right hand side. as soon as it says "addon preferences" click and drag! :-P what's pissing me off is that it won't stay where i put it! Everytime I log back in it's right back over the find button

YEAH this version is working on my puter (http://niodesign.com/Cartographer/Cartographer3.0.2.fix.rar ).

One question though, does anyone have an idea how to fix that beasty button. Its stuck over my Find button next to the map button and I cant even get hold of it to move it. Tried all the old ways,hold the shift and grab, grab and shift and every other key possible. all I get is my find button. Its annoying because all I see is the SCREW icon. and if I :restart: the interface then my find icons are embedded in the cartographer ring. ugly.

I'll give you nudes to continue this addon.. but hopefully it won't be such a hassle to use. I'm used to how the old Cartographer works! all this sliding scaley stuff is making questing a bit tedious. Thanks for all your work anyway! I <3 you
