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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

Any chance of getting a cartographer with the 2.4 setup that is compatible with 3.0.2? The new map style is killing my eyes.

Pretty sure that module is not being actively maintained. Use QuestHelper instead (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/quest-helper.aspx), it is a really good addon to use in conjunction with Cartographer.

The addon is excellent, there is incredible demand for.

Unfortunately it has bugs now due to Blizzards 3.0.2 update and not much information is available on the Internet about when, or if they might be fixed.

For example: there are errors about a missing libGuild.
You cannot switch to another zone map, you can onky focus on the oneyour character is in (either by mouse, or by menu)

TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY to everyone involved with Cartographer!

Curse's "Make a Donation" link does not seem to work but I would love to encourage the dev's to keep on with this version.

Thanks again!

I opened a ticket (http://www.wowace.com/projects/cartographer/tickets/42-waypoint-frame-broken-on-module-disable/) for this the other day. You'll notice in my notes that this change still results in another error message. I am trying to debug it, but I don't know enough about Lua and the Cartographer libraries to find the cause at the moment.

Left this bulk of an addon to be my last tackle of new 3.0 problems.. I dunno why but I always have so many problems with Cartographer when I first install it so when 3.0 came I knew this would be a pain..

InFlight itself is pretty buggy still. - It wouldn't let me or my woman hop on any flights recently.

I've disabled it for the time being and am using QuestHelper's flight timer instead. - QuestHelper has been solid with no errors at all (for me anyway..)

good to know, haven't messed with questhelper either yet even since it takes up so much memory.

Whenever i enable the "Look & Feel" part of cartographer, it hides my entire UI and i am unable to bring up any window. No quest log, achievements, character sheet, even the options menu to log out. Anybody else experience this issue? I've disabled all of the mods except for cart and it still does it.
