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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

FYI, my quest info was turned off by default for some reason when i loaded into the game so I didn't think it got fixed. If you apply the changes listed below, log in, and don't have the quest info quest log, simply press "M" top open up the cartographer map. Click on the cartographer button on the top. Then on the left side you'll see the list of addons for cartographer. Find quest info, click enable and you'll be good to go.

Thanks, that fixed it! My Quest Info was also turned off inside Cartographer, too.

Is everyone still getting question marks for note icons? I had the Icon packs installed but none seem to work.

yea i still get one error but i dont really know how to fix it. It only happens when you mouse over that sprocket looking icon in the quest log that show you the next part of the chain. If theres nothing next in the quest it gives you an error. Also make sure Quest info is enable in the cartographer settings. Just click your mini map icon and click the cartographer button. Go to the Questinfo settings and enable it. Same with Quests and QuestsObjectives if those are disabled. That last error though doesnt really seem to mess with the addon that much. Ive used it perfectly with no problems except that lol. I just try to keep my mouse off the sprocket icon lol. Imma try to find wats wrong with it. Hopefully though the Devs fix it soon lol

just to put it all together

Ok for ppl who want Questinfo and Quests to work here is the fix

Ok Here is how you get Cartographer_ Questinfo and Cartographer_Quests to work

(Quoted from "Moncai") It is broken because LoadOnDemad does not function properly in the current patch. You Will probably have to reverse the .toc changes after next patch
Open the .toc files with notepad

To fix, edit Cartographer_Notes\Cartographer_Notes.toc to read:
## LoadOnDemand: 0

And edit Cartographer_QuestInfo\Cartographer_QuestInfo.toc to read (only lines to be modified are shown):
## Interface: 30000
## RequiredDeps: Cartographer, Cartographer_Notes
## OptionalDeps: Cartographer_Quests, Cartographer_QuestObjectives, LibQuixote-2.0, LibGratuity-3.0

Then to get Cartographer_Quests working first you need to get the new lib for the Quests addon to work. You can find this in the Cartographer_Questinfo\Libs\LibGratuity-3.0

Copy the LibGratuity-3.0 folder to the Cartographer_Quests\Libs folder
Then open the Cartographer_Quests.toc file with notepad. Change whats in the file to look like this and your done.

## RequiredDeps: Cartographer
## OptionalDeps: Ace2, LibGratuity-3.0, Cartographer_Notes
## SavedVariables: Cartographer_QuestsDB
## SavedVariablesPerCharacter: Cartographer_QuestsDBPC

Libs\LibGratuity-3.0\LibGratuity-3.0.lua

Then

To get rid of an error message from Cartographer_Quests do this
go to the Cartographer_Quests folder in your addons folder and open the file called addon.lua with Notepad. Then press ctrl+F on your keyboard and type in Babble. The line below should come up

-- local BZ = AceLibrary("Babble-Zone-2.2")

What you should do now is change the above to whats below
local BZ = AceLibrary("LibBabble-Zone-3.0")

Then you copy the LibBabble-3.0 folder (Which you can find in \Interface\Addons\Cartographer\Libs\LibBabble-Zone-3.0)

into the Cartographer_Quests\Libs\

And thats it no more error message

And there you go and working Cartographer_Questsinfo and Cartographer_Quests, Cartographer_QuestObjectives should still work

I appreciate the updates. Deleting my .lua saved variables for the Cartographer_Quest* addons got rid of my "HasTranslation" error with Babble-Zone-3.0.

However, nothing shows up when I hit L - I just get the standard quest log. I must be missing something, but I have quadruple-checked everything in the steps and can't figure it out. No LUA errors show up in Swatter now for these addons. So I'm at a loss - probably something to do with LoadOnDemand?

Interface/AddOns/Cartographer_Quests/addon.lua:534: Bad argument #3 to 'NewModule'. "AceConsole-2.0" is an unknown library.

I've found line 534 in the Addon.lua, and I see what it says, I just don't know how to correct it.

I keep getting the following error:

Interface\AddOns\Cartographer_Notes\Notes.lua:3432: attempt to index field 'externalDBs' (a nil value)
...\AddOns\Automaton\Libs\AceAddon-2.0\AceAddon-2.0.lua:25: in function <...\AddOns\Automaton\Libs\AceAddon-2.0\AceAddon-2.0.lua:23>

...\AddOns\Automaton\Libs\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua:910: in function <...\AddOns\Automaton\Libs\AceEvent-2.0\AceEvent-2.0.lua:903>

It only happens when I first log in or /reload ui

After I am in I can create notes, they save between sessions and all else seems good. Any clue or updates?

Ok for the person for the Cartographer_Quests fix this is wat i did and no more error message. The changes i saw u made in the .lua file that u did was this

-- local BZ = AceLibrary("Babble-Zone-2.2")
local BZ = LibStub("LibBabble-Zone-3.0")

You shouldnt have changed AceLibrary to Libstub

What i did was make it look like this

local BZ = AceLibrary("LibBabble-Zone-3.0")

Then i copied the LibBabble-3.0 folder (Which you can fine in \Interface\Addons/Cartographer\Libs\LibBabble-Zone-3.0)

into the Cartographer_Quests\
Libs\

And thats it no more error message

My cartographer is working completely with the version i downloaded from here.
Might be an idea to uninstall all your addons from curse client and then delete teh contents of your addons directory

Deleting the addon, new downloading and installing doesn't help.

Any suggestions ?

How do we download the version from wowace? (the alpha/betas) I went to download r3371 but it leads to the page w/ update information and a link to curse... I can't seem to find where to download your recent (alpha) updates.

I am also using a mac, but I can get it to show up fine for me. Strange that you're both having the same problem.

Seems a lot of the problems are isolated incidents, which isn't good. If everyone was having the same problem, it's much easier to isolate and fix those bugs. When all the problems are pick and choose who problem x is affecting, much more difficult to diagnose.

Hopefully we'll see a fully operational bug-free release in the near future. Til then, just be patient :) These are free addons, and we have to give credit where credit is due :) These folks work their butts off for us
