Cartographer
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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).

Posted Mar 26, 2008Admitted total noob - I tried addons (actually, just Cartographer) for the first time in 2.3. Now I want to update - but it occurs to me that if I do, I'm going to lose all my little notes and map icons that I've so carefully placed, as well as my herbalism nodes.
I've searched for Cartographer FAQs (the Ace page leads to a random message, but no FAQ: http://www.wowace.com/wiki/Cartographer/FAQ), I've read forums - everyone is talking about bugs, but no one walks through the actual update.
And for all those who will flame me with using Ace updater, I've read enough horror stories to believe I ought to update my single addon by myself.
So can anyone give me some guidance? Is there a folder I need to save? Thanks.

Posted Mar 24, 2008I downloaded the addon, and when i go into WoW the addon button is there. The cartographer is also there, but to the right it says "Dependency Missing". I go into the game thinking it will work, but when i open the map its the same.

Posted Mar 26, 2008make sure you have the whole cartographer package active in your wow. cartographer is modular, so you can have some parts active and some not (instance loot, or professions and so on), but you need the basic parts active for the others to work.. so, best option is to look at the dependencies of the addon with the Dependency missing error (hover your mouse over the name and in the left you can see the dependencies) and activate them.

Posted Mar 23, 2008If you are talking about what I think, I had a similar problem. I could not right click to zoom out or click on a border zone to change the view. I was just playing with all the options and found that for some reason when the window lock is on it does this. So, try unlocking it and see if it works (the key icon to the right of the Cartographer button).

Posted Mar 16, 2008When setting a note as a waypoint, I was wondering if there is a way to have a arrow/pointer type thing on the minimap? If a waypoint is set, is there a way to show that note on the worldmap as highlighted in someway to distinguish it? Also, is there any way to adjust the size of the waypoint display arrow? Thank you

Posted Mar 14, 2008Okay, I open the map - installed Cartographer all right too - and I roll my cursor over a Guild Member on the map and this comes up.
Mind you, it shows a white icon - no name or class color shows up.
I downloaded the one available above.

Posted Mar 14, 2008And this the second: If you have some experience with programming you can fix it by removing the above code and keeping the default value (return 0.8, 0.8, 0.8 or return "cccccc") but to keep it simple for you replace your "\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Cartographer\libs\LibRollCall-2.0\LibRollCall-2.0.lua" with this (you can edit it by right clicking the file and choose "Open With" and then select "Notepad", then copy the text below (select it with your mouse and press CTRL-C) and paste it in your notepad while the old code is gone):
