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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

Oh ya and Naxx was showing Old T3 loot tables. I haven't checked that with the newest version but it was happening last week.

Not sure if its just me or not but I don't see other post about this issue. My instance maps seem a bit messed up. Many of them don't have the boss icons with the loot tables. Also when I look at an instance map I am seeing that zones flight paths coming through onto the instance map. That may be a conflict with another addon but it is strange. Also are some of the instance just not in Cartographer. I noticed I am missing some.

Stuff about cartographer(thou its an awsome addon)that you still need to fix;

- Wintergrasp zone map is Transparent.. or its not there?
- The Lock World Map function. Pleas remove the "hold ALT function" to tempoarily unlock world map. Change it to simply right click instead, just like origin wow map.
- Nodes! Cartographer doesn't make a "node icon" after 3.0.8, which enabels you to get all the ores in a node by mining it only once, Just like herbalism.
- You can't Click on any Major Cities, and then go to city map! Instead you have to be in the city to view the city map.

Suggestion.
- When in a zone with Instance/Instances, you could make a icon which shows the location of Instance entrance, lvl, last visite ect.

Gratz,
Freddy

Okay to all those who are having issues post-2.3.8

Try deleting the librock entries in the "embeds.xml" file in the cartographer folder..

Might not work but I cannot reproduce this issue to be able to test it out.

Anyone having an issue with Cartographer where you cannot zoom out and can only view the zone that your character is in? I have un/re-installed so many times... Cartographer seems to be working perfectly for the zone that I am in, but it will NOT let me right click and zoom out or click on another zone. Any suggestions?

The only issues I get like this are sometimes not being able to click into another zone inside of a zone, for example. I can't click into Dalaran from outside of it. I have to go through the drop down menu.

I know what you mean though, I've had this issue in the past.

Its because u have locked the map.. Cartograpther makes the map a bit smaller and enables your to move it around, theres a small icon (simmilar to the Keycain Icon) next to the Cartographer button, at the top of your map. U cant have it on locked, its a bug I feel needs to be taken care of for shure.

Do you think Cartographer will ever support a feature to support waypoint sharing? This would be awesome for groups, especially when I'm playing with my girlfriend.

Only issue I have and want to know if it can be fixed is for waypoints to show up on the map again. I haven't seen this working in a long time. Is it possible to fix this, so that when I create a waypoint it will show the red X on the map? I see the arrow just fine. Map notes will show the icon just fine, but not waypoints. Any idea why?

Same thing here.

Updated a bunch of addons and libs today (curse client way).

All fubar addons vanished and lots of errors (mainly libs) in bugsack.

Un/Reinstalled 2.3.6a version and everyone came back in the fubar and no more errors.

There seems to be a difference in the revision of LibRock-1.0 supplied in the new Cartographer:

v2.3.8 - r295
v2.3.6a - r294

The supplied LibRock-1.0 in FuBar 3.5 is also r294. The standalone LibRock-1.0 from curse.com is r292.

all you people having problems, i'm willing to bet the problem isn't in cartographer but rathor one of the libs being a newer version with some changes an older addon doesn't like. Way wow works is it doesn't actually load 20 ace libraries into memory etc, it will load it from one. I've seen it happen before where a dependancy library was updated in one addon and it broke 23 addons once. I'm sure arrowmaster remembers it too. (commiting typos to the old ace svn was bad, heh)

I believe this to be the case, seeing as there were no other changes to cartographer that could affect other addons.
I noticed huge changes in some of the libs too..

FuBar works for me I have to say...
I will look into this and contact the authors of the addons you say are now broken.

Please reply to this message with a list of addons broken by the latest update.

the question is, why did ckknight publish this version (did he do it or someone else?) when it seems to use a more current yet incompatable version of LibRock

As I recall, all the mods that died are his other ones like, FuBar, Chinchilla, PitBull. (can't remember what else if anything)

The problem I have is that with Cartographer and ElkBuffBar together ElkBuffBar doesn't work. Though when I disable Cartograpger no problem with EBB.

Thanks in advance!
