WowAce

yu need library to this rev

Hoping someone can help me here..I have the latest version from wowace but when ever I transparent the map (so it has no borders) my quest items (from quest helper) disappear and so do my flight points..I can't work it out. I reinstalled version r65599 for testing purposes and it seems to work like it should (transparent the map and I can still see everything) how ever version 68896, 70829.4 and 73088 all make the items on the world map disappear when I transparent the map and obviously I would rather use a transparent map then the full version..

I've disabled all the mods, deleted them all and just had cartographer + qh running and it did the same thing so then I deleted qh and installed enhanced flight map so I could have something on the map to test with and it did the same thing so I'm assuming it's got something to do with cartographer and some setting/coding that changed between 65599 and 73088...any suggestions or ideas??

I just found this somewhere and felt like sharing it.

So we come once again to the constant discussion going on in the AtlasLoot mod pages. Why don't I support Cartographer?

The history is that it AtlasLoot was made with Atlas in mind, then support for Alphamap and a variant for Metamap (MetamapBLT) came later. As the mod stands now, it is really easy for cartographer to make themselves compatible with AtlasLoot, but a monumental undertaking and a pretty large re-write for me to make another variant for cartographer (which I don't have time for, nor could I support, as every update I did would have to distributed in eleventy billion versions). All that would have to happen on cartographer's end is to somehow make boss names clickable, and have that click call AtlasLoot_ShowBossLoot(). AtlasLoot would take care of finding and formatting the loot table, anchoring the frame in the right place, etc. This is exactly how Telic implemented AtlasLoot compatibility with Alphamap and he helped me a lot in making functions accessible to other mods.

Is there any addons that are upto date that let you see your guildie members?

Thank you

hey, i get this error in game and i cant get rid of it even if I click ok, any ideas?

Read Darkfall82's post. It does indeed work. (Thankfully. I'm lost without this AddOn.) Now up to 73088.9.

bolander: glad the file worked for you. I was getting that same error after and like everyone else discovered it was the duration fuction that was messing it up. My file fixes the initial copper issue but the latest one. I had to make questhelper work the same way by editing the main.lua file and changing COPPER to COPPER_AMOUNT etc.

ckknight is doing a bang up job trying to fix these issues and until Curse.com is updated with the latest final release you can always keep up to date with his efforts where Darkfall82 mentioned.

Latest release 73088.8 at http://files.wowace.com/Cartographer/Cartographer-r73088.8.zip

i got some problem as what you guys have. i installed few staffs, but only 2 of them is working... wtf!? and even my quest helper doesnt work. even if i type /qh hidden, then i will say type /help for command or something... omg.... can anyone help me??

I'm having the waypoints issue after the 2.4.2 patch, too. It has the error message about the copper when it starts up, and then when I set a waypoint I do get the message that won't go away. jalbertory's fix did not work. :( Just letting you know, and I know you will fix it soon. I'm waiting eagerly, because I am spatially challenged and get lost easily, and have a very difficult time playing without my friendly arrow!

ETA: I did make the fix work...turned out I had in the Cartographer folder some copies of the folders that were outside that folder, if that makes any sense. 1 copy of the file = change takes effect.

It would be nice if you could add the player's coordinates right under the mini-map instead of having to open the map to see them. Just a suggestion...

I found a temperary fix for the "FormatDurationShort" error. The error is with the timer for how long till you reach the waypoint. To fix it open ...Cartographer\Cartographer_Waypoints\Waypoints.LUA with notepad. Use the find Ctrl+F to locate "waypointFrame.tta:SetText(Abacus:FormatDurationShort(time, false, true))" and delete the whole string. You will nolonger have a timer, but at least you don't have that error frame in the middle of your screen that wont go away.

Sorry - meant this to be a regular post vrs a reply......

I have a iMac Dual and tried editing file with text edit to no avail. Also tried MSword but need to know the file type? I downloaded the -.lua file created using notepad by Primantyrr (5/14 @ 13:56) by holding the option key and clicking on the blue highlighted "here". All looks good except when I die. After hitting release spirit, I get the -----.lua 412:bad argument #4 to format (string expected, got nil). Work-a-round is to go back to body and 1st Accept, then clear error by hitting the OK.

5/15 - Shortly after resurrecting, began to see titles over mob and additional errors with add on, so trying version 73088.....(titles can be turned on/off with the V key)

I've found errors with this since the newest patch, and I see that you need to open the .lua file to fix it...but I apparently don't have a program to open it on my computer. Can anyone direct me on how to accomplish this? ^_^ Thanks.

I get the waypoint error too: ...Cartographer\libs\LibAbacus-3.0\LibAbacus-3.0:412: Bad Argument #4 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)
I also go the 410 error. Please can someone fix this?

I was able to fix it based on the info below.
I think the one thing that people were not noticing is this:
------------------------------
else
COPPER_ABBR = COPPER_AMOUNT:sub(1, 1):lower()
SILVER_ABBR = SILVER_AMOUNT:sub(1, 1):lower()
GOLD_ABBR = GOLD_AMOUNT:sub(1, 1):lower()
end
------------------------------

Once you change GOLD:sub, SILVER:sub and COPPER:sub to add _AMOUNT. The file works just fine.
Click -Here- for the version I am using on my MacBook Pro (US English)

It's from the patch, give the guy some time to pinpoint and fix.

I was able to fix my other add on but is there a ton of issues with this or a few? The post below looks a bit complex. Has anyone heard when they will update this? I dislike having my map take over my window hehe.

After the new patch yesterday May 13th, I keep getting errors that will not get off my screen. I had to take the folder out. Any news on a new update?

Whenever I have Waypoints enabled I get this wonderful error:
...Cartographer\libs\LibAbacus-3.0\LibAbacus-3.0:412: Bad Argument #4 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)

I see lynnrock is getting something similar with 410. Anyone have any ideas?

I used the suggested .lua file and now I get this error when I leave or enter Orgrimmar: ...Cartographer\libs\LibAbacus-3.0\LibAbacus-3.0:410: Bad Argument #4 to 'format' (string expected, got nil)
