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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

i really like this addon but i can't use it along side with x-perl unit frames, it caused a lot of troubles and crashes to the point i had to uninstall cartographer and reinstall X-Perl.

its a shame too, i like cartographer, but i switched to cartoographer 3, which is IMHO a much superior product, but its a shame that, cart3 isnt updated often enough and this one is buggy when used with unit frames addons (loss of right click on portraits)... I just hope Ckknight either fixes the error here or updated cartographer 3

Any words on the right click bug being fixed?
It seems to be caused by cartographer's instance map module.

It was nice to have this feature but opening Atlas has the same maps just cant use Atlas or click/right click anything with this bug happening inside instances.

Thanks for the great mod and hope the right click bug gets fixed soon.

I've recently ran across a problem of no longer being able to cycle threw my quests by prioritizing them. I used to be able to do this by right clicking the arrow visible in the zone map in upper right hand corner. Any fix?

I had this same issue after installing the new update then reverting back to the version prior to today's. Working on fixing that ATM as Im not so sure Carto was controlling it.

Yea, did not take me long to figure out it was not cartographer.

Still having issues though. Has anyone gotten this update to work? I have conflicts with tons of things with the new carto. Even the curse profiler!

Awww all the icons (quests !/?/gathering) are huge again.
Any chance of adding a control to change their size?
Thanks

Trav - talk about pointless comments...

Tickets are difficult to post and just as difficult to go threw and read. Also do not see anywhere where anyone said anything about disabling an addon?

Good Grief! These authors are writing in good faith.
These things are just add-ons; you are free to or not to use them. I would guess that the authors average 57 cents a day in donations and actually have other real lives/jobs. It is one thing to cite an error but entirely another to complain, bitch and moan about one.
Ya spot a bug, report it as indicated to:http://www.wowace.com/projects/cartographer/tickets/
disable the add-on, play on or go outside and commune with nature for a while, or even better join the military to find out what real fighting is about; AND quit telling us how you are going to disable the add-on, just do it . . . please. Really, I believe that no one gives a hoot in hell if you disable it or not.

Funny, the only thing more pointless than bitching about free content would have to be bitching about people bitching about free content. ><

Read some of the comments more closely.
Second tickets are very easy to post. Except for the exceptionally inept.

Latest update = very broken! Caused over 31 errors. 28 on first load alone. Most errors involving the various libs. Error involving metahud_Fu, SmartMount, Location_Fu and numerous others. Reverted back to 2.5.3 everything works fine again.

I've also encountered the same difficulty with right clicking in instances with instance maps loaded, but only when I also have QuestHelper running. I do not know if this will be any help, but there you go. I spent about half an hour trying to figure out exactly which core addons were interacting incorrectly and it was those two.

I may delete this if it's no longer an issue once the realms get up so I can check.

'The Ivar Patch' in Silverpine Forest is incorrectly labelled 'Ivar's Patch'.

it took me some time (annoying 10 minutes) to find that it was cartographer that is responsible for this bug (last addon that i would ever suspect)..
as ppl already stated here, i can't open options tab when i right click on players portrait nor any other tab in that style (for example in atlas loot enhanced)...
please, fix it ! ;<

To be precise, it is Cart_InstanceMaps.
The rest works great for me, aside from persistent whiteouts on party/raid circles.
