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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

Same problem here. I also get an error with Cartographer_waypoints when ever trying to use them. I can see scourge spawn points, just can't zoom to any zone other than the one I'm in.

whenever i try to set focus it says something to the nature of blizz blocked cartographer foglight from doing something that only the wow ui can do. then gives me the option to ignore it or disable it ignoring it allows me to keep foglight going but makes it so i cant set focus and disabling it gets rid of foglight o the i cant see unexplored parts of the map

Until I lock the map with the little key, why is it so in fact that I can't zoom in + out anymore? Is it a bug or working as intended? I suppose that "issue" is there a long time ago...

So how does one grab the versions on Wowace.com? It seems the updates happen there first.

I'm having the same issue. My guild members show up fine. As long as they aren't in my party. My party doesn't show up at all.
---
I downloaded one of the alpha versions and now my party shows up, as long as they aren't in the same zone I'm in. However if I change the zone I'm looking at they don't clear from the screen so they appear on every zone.

This works on 3.0.2 Taiwan version of WoW. Everything displays in original traditional Chinese. Amazing!

sry for bad english...

if you have the problem

"Cartographer:561 table index is nil"

here is a workaround:

open the follow file in notepad:

"..\AddOns\Cartographer\libs\LibBabble-Zone-3.0\LibBabble-Zone-3.0.lua"

search for

--["Northrend"] = true,

(please watch for "elseif GAME_LOCALE == "deDE" then" 5 lines above, this should only a problem of german language)

and paste the follow line under the searched line:

["Northrend"] = "Nordend",

now the problem should be repaired

Note:
it seems not be a problem from cartographer separate from libbabble. because zones from northrend are absent or in such a way...

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
