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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

For anyone as new to this as I am: you need to log in once you reach the curseforge page in order to see the download link! It'll use your curse.com account if you have one.

Yeah, that one works. Now we just need this version on Curse and get support later on. I hate Cartographer 3 and I'm clearly not the only one. I think it's unnecessary and kills the feel of the game.

Please continue this version of cartographer. The cartographer 3 i have seen freaks me out, there is no need for such over fancied stuff in my opinion. It looks cool and stuff but it misses every trait the old version (this one) had. Quick and easy usage, dosens of options, valuable info and style traits wow's basic map still doesnt has.
If the old version is discontinued i personaly will not upgrade to cartographer 3. A map needs to be easy to use and overlookable in the glimpse of a second, not something i can fuzzle around and drag around for half of a minute, and thats where 3 fails big time.

I second this comment. Cartographer 3 is impressive, but severe overkill. Really, I just want the original Cartographer back and functioning with 3.0 :)

My mapnotes aren't working at all. Upon login, I get the error Interface\AddOns\Cartographer_Notes\Notes.lua:3427: attempt to index field 'externalDBs' (a nil value)

Project is not dead until it has no more fans, even if ckknight leaves it, we will continue to keep this awsome addon alive for as long as there are people who wish to download it.

Very nice AbydosLanti, gonna add this as well if you want.

The files are there if you check http://www.wowace.com/projects/cartographer/files/
We just need a project manager to add them to Curse as well :/

NOTE:

If you still have POI's bundled up somewhere on your map, delete your WTF folder (or just the cartographer database if u like)
