Cartographer
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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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 keep trying to update my cartographer, but all i get when I try to unzip is that there are no files to extract and when I go to open the file it says that the file is corrupted.
Midgetmage is correct. I had my trans. set to 0 before patch and when I tried to view map, nothing came up. I dl the recent cart. patch with no luck. Then I thought, well hey, if its set to 0, then it must be totally trans. now. So, I hit M, and started to right click on the screen to move my toon. At first I couldnt move him, then I noticed more toward the edge of the screen I could. Ding, thats the edge of the map. Its there, but since I set the trans to 0, I cant see it. Just follow the imaginary edge very slowly moving up and to the left. Hopefully you'll see a little popup that says, 'Open Cartographer Menu.' Click it setting the trans. to something other than well, 0. Believe me, its there...just find the edge of the map as stated above.

This is a great UI and was wondering if you could get a better map for Sunken Temple and possibly add in a flight path like Flightmap.
Mine is working but if you had your transparency set to 0 so just the relevant portions of the map were showing (the main reason i use it) It doesnt function as it did previously. Now the entire map fades not just the useless borders and such. Hopefully it can be made to work as before.
I just installed the 2.1 version but its not loading. And yes my WoW is patched to 2.1.
I havethe same as Khabal, using the latest version (35382) as downloaded via WoWAceUpdater.
Ive rolled back to older versions of Cartographer (even as far back as the version in http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=6403 ) and the problem is still there, so I think it may be one of the common ACE libraries that has broken this.
Hello I have some issues with Cartographer and/or MapNotes. I use Quest Areas and it all worked fine for a while, then Cartographer suddenly stopped displaying the mapnotes. Quest Areas is still recordning data but they aren't displayed in the map... All I get is an error message from mapnotes
Any idea about what to do?
I found a bug in used AceComm-2.0.lua library in function SendCommMessage (line 1421). It rewrites global message function with a table value. So any addon using message function fails.
The bug is already fixed in the newest Ace2 library at this site. So please update it in your addon.
In the soul status, the waypoint arrow is not always appear (seems randomly). How can I configure that? THANKS!
Great addon :)
The only thing I miss are the pvp rewards. Could you add them in your next update?
when i run it with wow, there is always a message saying "Unknown Language". My computers language is Turkish and wow lang is Enus so whats wrong with it and how to fix it?

This is one addon you don't want to play without... love it.. thanks :D
I tried that. DIdn't work. I tried deleting every other saved variables file/folder too. Didn't work. I'm trying everything. This is so frustrating. I locked the map. And now I cant use the cntrl+ scroll to change the size.
@ Iknowiam:
Did u erase the saved variables under:
C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\YOUR ACCOUNT'S NAME\SavedVariables
Because i'm sure that is what's messing u up.
You know, I'm having the same darn problem as deathcron8. He said "i dloaded this mod and i like it but i accidenttally messed up on it i made it too big on the wrong part of the screen and now the main map is too high up and i cant get to the options to change the size and fix it i tried erasing the mod and then re extracting it but i doesnt seem to work istehre a way to reset this mod or is ther any other way to open the options feature for this mod in ordr to fix it......"
I tried "/cartographer menu" (without quotes of course) and that didn't work. I even tried erasing every trace of the addon and then reinstalling it. That didn't work. I want to be able to reach the freaking menu dangit. Any other suggestions?
When I turn down the transparancy to 0 under look'n feel,no mining veins that I recieve from guildies shows up.I have to turn it up tp 60% for them to show.
Would be nice if you guys would update this. Version r31768 was released in April.
With Cartographer and Meta Map I cannot zoom in or out to other zones of the world map, it always immediatly goes back to the current zone. If I disable these mods my map behaves normally. Any ideas on how to fix this?
