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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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 May 8, 2008It screws up the Zone Map, it makes the whole thing blank. :(
I know it Cartographer as the Zone Map works normally if I turn it off.

Posted May 2, 2008I dl'd the newest version & it caused major problems with another mod, MinimapButtonBag. Certain buttons refuse to be hidden in the mod, & they cant even be moved or clicked. I had to downgrade all the way to 59076.8 to get it working again... even though i had a much more recent version before updating that worked fine...

Posted Apr 29, 2008Tried to update today (r70829.4) and it made the game pause every 5 seconds for about 2 seconds. Reinstalled the previous version and the pausing/freezing stopped.
Also, as a side note, I have to take off foglight to avoid the 'Zone Map' going blank. Had this error for a while but I would one day like to re-enable foglight.

Posted Apr 30, 2008It means "Check to make sure your game is installed in the location we suggest, and if you have installed it somewhere else then put the files there"

Posted Apr 17, 2008Cartographer needs to be removed (via the Curse Client) and then re-installed (same). This will fix the [paprikanator] issue, make Cartographer run again, and most likely fix the QuestHelper waypoint as well ("/qh cartwp" a couple of times and make sure your "/qh level X" didn't reset). I didn't get a chance to test the QH arrow out yet, but in previous updates, it did the trick. Cartographer broke my Curse Client and itself for me as well, but the above got me rolling again. ;)

Posted Apr 16, 2008What's with the funky file name on this version? (r68896) Is it supposed to be a long hex number?

Posted Apr 14, 2008I was wondering if there is a way to manually enter the coordinates for the waypoint arrow, without having to go to the map, <ctrl> right click, etc? It's a very fiddly process, be so much easier just to enter the numbers!

Posted Apr 13, 2008Anyone know how to change the waypoint arrow from aligning itself to a grid on the screen? It is really annoying not being able to place the arrow where I want it to go, I really like this feature.
