Cartographer

Table of Contents

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

Did you have to do anything special to make it work? I still don't have it appearing in the addon list.

Maybe it has something to do with it being packaged with external modules vs internal?

Cartographer_Notes external vs internal?

It is not recognizing that the addon is there. It shows that my other two addons are there when i move my cursor over the game options menu. All I am asking for is maybe a little insight to why this is happening and if anyone had a solution so that I could fix it if the problem where on my end

I just want to mention, that v2.3.1 isn't working fully. Still probs with Cartographer_Notes. The version directly taken from the svn is working though... (note: all modules in modules.xml are commented out...)

Need more detail than "Still probs with Cartographer_Notes" if you want help.

Yes, v2.3.1 _does_ work properly with Notes tested here (its r2268 on the SVN, which is the latest). Can create them, share them and see your old ones. The problem is what?

OK, when moving all dirs with Cartograher_X in the filename to the Cartographer-Dir itself, the error disappears. (It's caused by the way the Artwork is searched (which isn't working right) see line 1098 of Notes.lua and following.)

Nevertheless, all Modules are deactivated, so one has to manually de-comment the stuff in modules.xml to get the modules to work.

Please check and respond...

Ckknight didn't fix anything in this version, it was other people.

I would like to also thank ckknight for finding all the bugs in this latest version. I've personally be using this add-on since day one of playing & yes we've all been down one heck of a road with all the changes with WoW, it hasn't been pretty.. With that said, we all need to realize that ckknight's life isn't just here & when Bliz decides to go playing with this game the addons always suffer first.. It isn't as easy as popping open the code & going "OH HERE IT IS!" and the world is happy again... I've tried C3 & personally I like it, the only reason I still use this version is due to the extra stuff like mining & herbing etc... When that is all available for C3, i'll be gladly switching over.. So just keep cool heads people & we'll enjoy this ride a lot easier!

Ok I have tried to load this addon a countless number of time since patch day and still it will not work. When i check in the addon part of the character selection screen the check for the addon is in grey and i have to uncheck and recheck the box all the others for cart are red. FYI I dowloaded a different Cart addon (Cart 3) and I had no issues loading it up I just did not like the interface and I didnt find it very user friendly I would like to use this one anyone know why I cannot get this addon to load up

Please help!

For me Cartographer works fine, if I put the newly moved "cartographer_xxx" subfolders of "\cartographer" back to the "\interface\addons", like it was before.

Only one thing doesn't work: None of my notes appear on the minimap, on the world map they do. Please stay tuned to Cart2, version 3 does not support my quest- and mining-nodes (most important for me).
