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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
Hey Guys - I got Cartographer working -
Go into your wtf->account-->Saved Variables and delete the cartographer.lua and cartographer.lua.bak
This resets your preferences which should take care of the "invisible map" problem.
im missing all the tower and GY icons from my AV map. Tested rest of the BGs they all ok its only AV. Looked throo options but couldnt see anything.
Can anyone tell me what ive done wrong?
Can we import MetaMap data? If so how?
Thanks!
Joe
where is the mining and herbalism nodes that we have found stored? I wanna back them up.
I also have the latest updates from WowAce for Cartographer, and I'm having no problems at all with it.
Check your folder installation -- maybe do a complete delete and re-install.

Welp Cartographer had a good run while it lasted but it doesnt seem to be working at all no matter what i do, doing the stupid "move your mouse to where the map should be and hit m and hold shift key and scroll up on your mouse" didn't work.
the "Fixed" LookNFeel.lua didnt work
downloaded all possible updates from ace files.
Still same dam problem
so its time to find a several stand alones to aid me in this tradegy. Good day
COMMON PROBLEMS: Problem 1: Map doesn't appear when you hit M Solution: Move your mouse to where the map would be, hit M to open it (even though you don't see it), hold the shift key, and scroll up on your mouse.
Problem 2: Transparency affects entire world map (cause of problem 1) and you had your background invisible before Solution: Get SVN and RapidSVN and checkout the SVN url above, it contains a fixed LookNFeel.lua that resolves this issue.
i don't have cartographer_herbalism/mining folder - just professions...and not seeing any notes for herbs or mining nodes - how do i get these to show?
Go to www.wowace.com/files to get the herbalism and mining add-ons -- place them in your main Addons folder.
I just currently downloaded Cart and upon log in, i get the message: Error with AceEvent-2.0 Upgrade Path. Please upgrade all your AceEvent-2.0 Instances to revision 33858 or install the Ace2 Standalone. I installed the Standalone but still encounter that error.
I also downloaded the cartographer update - and my map function isn't working at all. When M is pressed, nothing happens at all.
i have downloaded the updatet version for patch 2.1 and installed it but it is not working...when i klick M i only see the normal blizzard worldmap with absolutly NO cartographer menu???

I would re-download the patch and unzip using WinRAR. Link below.

I still am trying to up date but it isn't working per my comment below
@chriswt
This might sound redundant, but am I correct to assume you dl'd the recent Cartographer patch as of yesterday? Of course, or for future reference, backup the old Cartographer folder placing it outside the AddOns folder, then extract the new Cartographer accordingly.
First and foremost, I would try midgets way; holding shift and mouse scroll. Gl.
Installed and working. Love it so far. But...is there a way to disable showing my location to my guildees? As much as I like the feature, I prefer the occassion privacy.
@midgetmage55
Thanks a lot, that will probably help in future settings. Is there any fix for the problem I'm facing when I try and adjust Cartographer settings though?
The keyboard settings for adjusting your transparency is to mouse over the map and hold shift while scrolling the mouse wheel,. That should fix it for you assuming no errors.
@DragonSBF
I have the exact problem with the transparency setting and with your help I managed to get my cursor to the button that says, "Open Cartographer Menu".
To my dismay however, when I clicked the button, an error message popped up that states:
"Interface\Addons\Cartographer\Cartographer.lua:238: Dewdrop-2.0: args.LookNFeel.args.lock: "name" must be a string."
Hopefully someone can help me solve this or I'll be staring into a blank map.
