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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

I do not know if this is a bug or me not knowing how to use the app, but the map show all the areas, explored or not. This makes it hard to do the achievements. Advice is welcome. ;^)

Hello,

First the exploration - this is a feature of cartographer, you can disable the 'Cartographer_Foglight' module to bring the fog back.

Second, numbering system
The build numbers go as follows:
Everytime i release an update to the SVN Repository, the revision number increases by one. This is the : rxxxx number

When either me or ckknight decides a release is stable enough for the general public to use, we rename the file, using a difference system, as detailed below.
In this system the number is not incremented in the same way as the revision number, it is simply an indication of how much work we think has gone into that release.

For example if a lot of hard work went into it, we may release it as: 2.x+1.x this is called a 'major' release
i.e. 2.3.1 -> 2.4
However if it just fixed a few minor bugs, it may just be 2.x.x+1 this is called a 'minor' release
i.e. 2.3.1 -> 2.3.2

(The .toc isnt updated often as its not important)

Hope this clears things up :)

I have to agree with mushpuppy. I am confused with regard to version. My dl also is titled Cartographer-r2268 Folder. .toc file reads version 2.0; and the change log reads:
r2268 | abydoslanti | 2008-10-19 16:01:12 +0000 (Sun, 19 Oct 2008) | 1 line
What is going on here?

You are using revision 2268 of the HEAD (development branch) of Cartographer. AbydosLanti was the one who made changes in r2268, so that is why his name is showing up in the changelog.

The TOC file doesn't track the revision of the development code.

r2268 is a revision number for the development code.
v2.3.1 is the version number for the last release (was going to say stable release, but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment).

Why's it say version 2.268 if this is version 2.31?

Big update on its way :)

New update will fix a few minor issues but more importantly...
It will contain (unconfirmed) WOTLK information.
If anyone has any Blizz-CONFIRMED information that could be usefull please reply to this :)

Hmm, seems another update was apparently uploaded as I was typing, Last Update above is now 6 minutes ago, yet downloading again still gives me the same version I got over 26 hours ago!

That time shows the time of the last SVN commit, not all commits appear on this page, only those that I mark for release.
You can download the HEAD from:
http://www.wowace.com/projects/cartographer/files/

However it is mostly untested and may contain bugs

Seems as if updated versions are not uploading correctly. Last Update above now shows as 1 hour, 10 minutes ago, so I just downloaded that "latest" version only to find that it is the EXACT same version I downloaded 26 hours ago!
