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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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 Nov 11, 2007I've noticed that an error pops up whenever changing area while still targetting a mob from the previous area. It's not really an issue, but perhaps something could be added to check if the player has changed zone so that it doesn't generate an error in the chat window and create any confusion.

Posted Nov 8, 2007Is there a way where I enter co-ordinates and cartography places a mark or something? If not, it would be great if this feature was implemented :)

Posted Nov 6, 2007My cartographer isn't tracking herbs. I've downloaded it, and I ran the .sh file (linux equivalent of the .bat file). I searched for the Cartographer_Herbalism &CO directories but couldn't find them. Also searched for it, in case it was a separate addon, but didnt find anything.
So. What am I doing wrong?
PS: Also removed an old herbalism save file from an earlier version. no go.

Posted Oct 29, 2007I have used Cartographer for almost a year now, i have only gotten errors after the larger API patches. Something that have been fixed in 1-2 updates.
ATM i run this addon without any errors whatsoever, this is THE best map addon atm as i see it.
Metamap is decent but that addon lack some of the great functionality this addon have.
I suggest you delete your old saved variables for this addon if u have any. And try from fresh.
Again i use it all the time atm, i am hardcore levelling a druid atm.
Played 1000 am - 0200am with some minor breaks for food, and an occasional poop.
Probably typed in about 100+ /tloc´s and notes. switched zones etc etc. no problems. not one error.
So if you are having problems it is either you that havent deleted saved variables as instructed at some point. Or you have some poorly written addon that are conflicting screwing with cartographer. i suggest you read the error logs. And use the bug reporting as suggested above. perhaps also showing the same to the author of the addon it might be conflicting with.

Posted Oct 28, 2007To get rid of rock you need ace override cartographer1!
This is how to make cartographer work... go to http://files.wowace.com/index.html#
from there download cartographer AND cartographer1
DELETE cartographer AND cartographer1 folders from your addons folder (if you had them)
UNZIP cartographer and cartographer1 there
go to cartograpeher1 folder and doubleclick "install.bat"
voila... now it works like before.
For every cartographer update you have to repeat this procedure (deleting both folders and running install.bat once)
I'm happy now
