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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
The moment you start paying for said mods is the moment you can validly complain about them.
Providing feedback is one thing; almost demanding things is quite another.
Im having same trouble with no map showing aswell. cba keep tryin dif versions atm at least i got the towers working so I can see where im goin :D
Excellent mod :)
Is there anyway to get the key that is bound to display the map, to un-display the map if it is pressed again?
The default Blizzard map will display if you hit M, then un-display if you hit M again.
When i try to do this with Cartographer, I get either one of two things happen: Sometimes, instead of the map un-displaying, a second map is displayed.
Other times, the map will display but when I hit M again, nothing happens at all and i have to use ESC or the mouse to close the map.
Really? I've been using Cartographer for some time now, and I've never had the problem you're referring to. It just behaves like the "real" world map.
Perfect addon^^
Who's complaining? I think it's good that people report errors as i suppose it's in the author's interest to correct what's wrong.
The AV towers etc. are now visible, but to me the background is missing instead. Am i the only one having this problem?
I've noticed when i take the ship from Kalimdor to East. Kingdoms and vice-versa, i get:
Error: table index is nil File: ...artographer\Cartographer_Professions.lua Line: 172 Count: 1
not sure the cause, but thought i would report it.
Great mod, love it. Is there anyway you could add the Coordinates to the minimap like it is in the Metamap mod?
Thanks for a great mod.
can some 1 help me?
i used this addon befor the update, i now have the newer virsion but when i go to open my map noting comes up =\ some 1 plz help me.
it's been updated almost every day, it's probably best to goto the wowace.com website to get it. you can get a wowaceupdater program there too, which updates pretty much all your ace addons at the same time.
when i run dungeon i open the maps and i clicked the boss place but i cant see the boss drop what....anyone know how to fix this?
Cartographer's concept is wonderful. Cartographer's implementation sucks.
After the recent WOW update to 2.1.0 (6692), Cartographer showed nothing except a map devoid of everything except physical objects such as mountains, lakes & rivers.
After replacing Cartographer with a more recent version, the map was OK but EVERY SINGLE NOTE THAT HAD BEEN MADE (100S) HAD INCORRECT COORDINATES - they were displayed in an approximately horizontal line across the top of the map. An email to the author brought no response. No surprise.
To say that I am irritated is a major understatement. Yes, I can spend hours and hours looking up the coordinates of quests again at Thotbott but there is no way to recover notes that were of interest only to me; i.e., non-quest notes.
While I'm ranting, let me touch on the total lack of information about how to USE the mod and its additions. Seems to me that anyone taking the time to write a mod could spend a few moments describing it and its usage in plain English. That goes for many other authors as well.
These folks are taking time to make the game more enjoyable for themselves and others. If you don't like the mod, either don't use it or write your own. It's easy to sit back and complain about it. There is a big difference in posting feedback and being an ass.
Thanks man :D
There's an even more recent one out now. Why aren't the new versions here at Curse?
woot cartographer latest version has pvp objs working-
http://www.wowace.com/files/Cartographer/Cartographer-r37241.zip
yeh ive tryed latest versions up to Cartographer-r36927.1002 still no joy on pvp objs
I am having the same issues with PVP objectives. Not only in AV, but also in world PVP objectives like halaa, terokkar, hellfire, and zangarmarsh!
Same problems as Hifi - can't see graveyards etc, in AV.
I don't know what happened to my cartographer since the patch! When I redownloaded and got it working I can't get my Look'n'Feel back to showing just the zone shape (as in the second screencap). It only displays the whole rectangle. Is it no longer possible to set the Look'n'Feel the way I had it before?
so is there anybody else who is having the AV tower issue or just me?
thanks, didnt know wtf the wtf folder was for. now I found all my addon settings :)
