Does anyone know how to fix the waypoint related error?

I edited my .lua file and it seems to be working ok without errors now. The file had some special characters that my textpad didn't like so I only used notepad. It is available here for download here .. please make a backup copy of your current lua file as I'm not sure if it's 100% fixed or I broke it more lol.. the errors have stopped though.

I don't understand just how we edit them. Where it says COPPER_ABBR do you delete the ABBR or keep it and add the _AMOUNT? Somebody please help this poor, PC challenged soul.

Very easy fix here. go to
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\Cartographer\libs\LibAbacus-3.0
Look for the words GOLD COPPER and SILVER. Only look for those words that are all in capitals. And where there is nothing else after the word or before it. Example GOLD_CHAR or gold in lower case. And add _AMOUNT so it would look like this GOLD_AMOUNT. Or silver or copper. Only add it to the single word that has all letters of the word capitalized. This worked for all my outdated mods. Seems Blizard decided to change the code a little.

What I 'understand' (and I use that word loosely) from the above, ONE of the TWO following 'options' is what is being suggested for the editing process, in order to get the "CARTOGRAPHER" add-on to work with WoWarcraft's v2.4.2 patch.

I am just trying to figure out which one *before* I commit to editing the whole *.lua file.

Would be far easier for the masses if a kind, geeky soul (and I say that with much affection) would take on this task and upload the resulting file for others to share in the 'bliss'. *warm smile*

My post is not working. TEST!

SOOO many errors with 2.4.2 patch. This is the greatest mod ever and it would be a shame to see it go.

Yea with the new WoW patch released it needs to be updated v.v
I also agree this is an awesome and helpful mod that I'd like to see continued (if I worded that properly)

I get the same error as ningyningy.
Might be because of new patch today.

I was getting an error message with something to do with COPPER so after reading what they did for questhelper, i did it for this also.

This is what jhemfl said to do for questhelper. i just changed the file name for the file in Cartographer. so i tried it for this and i haven't got the error when i log in now.

The constants COPPER, GOLD, SILVER got replaced to COPPER_AMOUNT, GOLD_AMOUNT, SILVER_AMOUNT.

Open up the LibAbacus-3.0.lua file in notepad in the Cartographer\libs\LibAbacus-3.0 folder and use Ctrl+H (replace) and replace all the pre-existing constants. Example: Replace COPPER with COPPER_AMOUNT.

Im having issues with this addon after I downloaded the latest patch. Can you please update?

to ugotdie----Have you tried going to the addons icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen when you go to select a character to play?

Broken with Today's (13 May 2008) patch.

I just downloaded the latest patch from WoW and now I am having troubles with cartographer went through all the steps for issues and still have a problem with the waypoint thing I disable it and enable it and still there is an issue I know it is no biggie but it is annoying

hey i downloaded cartographer andextracted and everything but in gameplay it doesnt do anything. how do i start it and use it?

i have issues with my placed map markers not showing after i enter the coordinates

For some time now when I open the map in an instance it displays the zone map, not the instance map. I googled the issue an saw folks dealing with it last year. There was a time not long ago it worked for me, though. Any idea what might be going on?

I currently have version r73088 installed, though its happened in older versions.

I don't have BigWigs but I am getting the minimapbutton glitch too. After a few moments it separates the "button" from it's "ring"... highly annoying issue on an otherwise nice addon.

thank you, I went and hopefully have gotten it fixed. =)

Misty, go to wowace.com & get the mining node portion of it. Instead of being heavy on resources with things you dont need its simply a seperate download than cartographer.

Nut sure the overall "cause," but it turns out with BigWigs enabled MinimapButtonBag wasn't working quite right, but was basically fixing itself a couple seconds after loading (at least appearance wise, not sure about running/system resources/whatever else.)

With the newest cartographer it wasnt working at all, but then I tried disabling Bigwigs and they (latest cartographer & minimapbuttonbag) worked together fine.

So maybe Bigwigs is glitched & Cartographer is causing problems with that? or maybe none of them are entirely compatible atm? not really too sure... *head explodes*
