Cartographer

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).

The fixed .rar that was posted allowed me to zoom out, but I am having a major issue. I am in Undercity when I log in, and no matter what zone I try to bring up, it just keeps the map at Undercity. I can zoom out and click on other zones, but the only map that comes up is Undercity

Is anyone else having this problem?

I'll assume the zooming fixes below don't work. I used both and still can't zoom. Also, I'll assume that map notes is also a failure. All my old map notes are present in the lua but don't show at all on the map nor can I create new ones.

hey AbydosLanti thanks so much for your help in the comments, i was able to get cartographer working again by aplying your changes ;).

but i have 1 (very minor) problem left with an addon called "Cartogrpaher_Data" (its not on curse, it was on wowace or wowinterface, dunno).

this addon pops up one error everytime i login/reloadui. when i click ok, the error wont reappear until i relog/load and the addon works just fine.

so if you could give me a little hind how i could shut down that login error, it would be really great.

the error is something like this:

core.lua error in line 8 attempt to index global Cartographer_Notes (a nil value).

the core.lua is in the Cartographer_Data folder.
if you need the addon i can upload it.

Please don't discontinue this one, the new one is extremely irritating to use, no offense.

Thank you so much, AbydosLanti ! If ckknight decide to discontinue it, do you think you might take over ? I've tried 3.0 and I did not really like it... It's kind of overkill for what I do with it, and losing all the notes / herb and mining nodes is very bleh.

I have to agree that this mod beats C3.0 hands down. 3.0 is buggy and does not work period. It isn't as refined or as clean, and it does not integrate well into WoW as far as look and feel, unless you have some mods like FuBar and X-Perl running specifically to make your game look like that. Personally I think it looks like a stain on the game, I may mod my interface, but I keep it looking relatively WoW looking. So I have to say, everyone loves this version of the mod, although some people may settle for 3.0 or say, "Hey, I like this new look." It does not mean that it will out succeed this version. Look, this mod is awesome and it works seamlessly with many other addons, so keep it.

FYI!!!! This mod DOES WORK in 3.0. I find that you will get a .lua error when you log on and some things about waypoints not working, but every time this happens, I just "/console reloadui" and it comes back no errors and works perfectly. No issues to report with the mod other than reading red in the Addons menu on the Character Select Screen, but most addons that claim to be 3.0 compatible are showing up as red as well. Example, atlasloot Enhanced, it works but it pretends not to. DL it and load all the modules regardless of the color and it will run, and you will get no .lua errors while using it, it wont even work improperly!

Just a hint at the 3.0 addons so far. but I promise that by the time WOTLK reaches our computers, we will have all the mods saying, "HEY! WE WORK FINE! IDK WHAT THE HECK I WAS TALKING ABOUT ON THAT SCREEN!" ::Turns Gold::
