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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

Hmm cant reproduce that.
Open map -> Press w s a d
Works fine, is that what you meant?

Sounds like the input in being stolen by the map ui, shouldnt be a hard fix, just unable to reproduce in afraid :(

"Open map -> Press w s a d "
Yes, that is what I mean. I cannot change direction when walking with my map open... You said it works fine for you? I'll try downloading the update you just posted, disabling all other addons and try again.

Yup, I think WORLD_MAP_UPDATE is being called too soon. But the main issue was that you got POI's from the whole map placed on the map you are currently residing in =/

I've added your Northrend fog changes to the svn AbydosLanti

As for the POI Issue... this is really strange, I added a debug line
ChatFrame1:AddMessage(zone) right after local zone = GetRealZoneText() to see why zone is empty and it turned out it is not empty...
Maybe this is just a bug when loading and GetRealZoneText() doesn't know your location yet.

Cartographer 3 SUCKS! Please keep this one going, it is MUCH better than any other map addon out there.

Tracked down the POI issue:

function mod:WORLD_MAP_UPDATE()
local zone = GetRealZoneText() <- returns the location the player is at
:SetNote(zone <- sets the note there, instead of where the landmark is

As you can probably guess, I dont know how to fix this yet, working on it!

If someone wants to continue this addon why not let him? Cartographer still has a lot of fans (like with all the old stuff)

"NOT WORKING WITH 3.0.2"
What a shame... Cartographer 3.0 is such crap I wanted to cry when I saw it, and Carbonite isnt much better. The best map mod I've ever seen, and its dead ;__;

Sorry hehe didn't see your update bellow.... Well its good to learn and there are still loads of bust addons.
You have fixed a few I didn't so thats good. But still the look n feel messes the right click up. I will likely look at that next unless you have already got somewhere with this?
Also what does POI and Professions do? I can't see any difference when they are active?
Zas
