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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
yeah...i'd like to know how he finds bugs if he doesn't read comments...
Lovely that the waypoints are now broken. Can't even click to set one and when I try to use /waypoint add or the other waypoint commands it brings up an error prompt.
The Cartographer addon has always worked extremely well for me in the past, that is, until the WoW-TBC patch 2.1 came out and even moreso with this update.
Not only does the mod not work at all, when I have it enabled it actually makes me unable to bring up the world map, even the default one, at all. I press 'M' and get nothing. I click on the world map icon on my minimap and get nothing.
I've lost access to what was a great mod. I have had to install other addons to gain back only a few simple things Cartographer provided, such as coordinates, but have otherwise been without all of the gathering data I had collected, among other things.
This is a frustrating problem - please address this.
is anyone else missing the Zone Level info from their world map? Not the instances in zone, or the fishing lvl, but the xx-xx lvl on the Zone itself.
Would love to know where it went to :(
well been 2 days since i posted on here.. no official anything.. :P not very supportive, not mod friendly (been causing issues in 6 of my other mods, and all comes back to cartographer) its gone. ill stick to AlphaMap and such.
go take a look on the gatherer forum, there are discussions about data being erased from gatherer.. anywho.. i primarily use cartographer for the transperancies through the fog on the map.. it helps alot.. same with the information about each zone.. but it causing so many problems, i can live without that :P
@Neskiairti Yeah, i saw the Gatherer forum info on that. Was just checking to see if anyone had experienced it after that is all. I really miss my Zone Level info tho :( Plz someone fix it hehe
I also use Gatherer and Cartographer together. G works better for my needs than the tracking part of Cartographer.
Found another little problem tho. Before I updated to the new version, I could see the Zone Levels on the world map. Since the update, the zone levels do not appear like they used to.
Also, it seems like the problem people are having with tooltips for Gatherer nodes on the world map not showing on mouse over might be a layer problem. I found that if you lock the map (key up top) then thetooltip for the nodes shows up just fine. but its really annoying Alt-clicking to change the map after that. :P
Love the addon otherwise.
Has anyone had trouble with the Gatherer data being erased in r37828?
it worked with a modified size before, so why not now?
and what did you do that disabled gatherer? i cant view any of the gatherer icons on the map for some reason.. and dont tell me to switch to the plugin for cartographer.. :P doesnt quite cut it, i compared them for my needs.
I think i found the reson it dosnt show, i think one of the size settings is messed up cuzz i was on my main and i had the map size so it was really small but i whanted to make it bigger to take a screen of a sertant map and as soon as i changed the size it disapeard, so please fix asap
You serasly need to fix somthing, because this add on worked fine intell your last update, sence your last update new charecters i made, or friends that played on my computer for the charecters THE MAP DOSNT SHOW!!!!! ill press "m" or whatever to open the map, and it wonte show anything and i also wonte be able to click on anything liek the map is there. so i press"m" agin so i can click on stuff, but the map works jsut fine on my main charecter and such....and ive tryed many things to fix it even copying my WTF files form my main to my new charecter AND IT STILL DOSNT WORK, and ive tryed re-downlaoding it and such AND IT STILL DOSNT WORK!
PLEASE FIX THIS ANNOYING BUG ASAP!!!!
iv just downloaded this add on but i can get it to work. is there sumthing i need to do? like put the file sumwhere or sumthing...some help would be great
With the last patch blizzard changed a few instance names for the german localization... This causes errors.
Please update! For example: "Die Botanika" "Die Mechanar"
and another question: Is it possible to scale the zone info font?
also... when i go in to a dungeon.. and hit M, it used to just show the dungeon map, now i have to pull it up each time, like a dozen clicks.. :P whats with that?
yeah, im having this issue too with resource nodes not showing.. im thinking of switching back to atlas and gatherer, gatherer seems to work better anyhow :P
Just installed and was wondering if there was something that I'm missing. It says 'Dependency missing'.
Yeah, my map wont come up either.... but my friends works just fine. Conflicting mod maybe? I use bongos2 and xbar n' a few others.
Still wondering if there's a way to disable broadcasting your location to guildees? Even if you disable Guild Location right now, your guildees that are using Cartographer can still see you. Help!
for some reason with the herbalism addon to cartographer, i cant get any nodes to show anymore. does anyone know what the problem could be?
