Cartographer

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

Hi,

A number of people have reported to the QuestHelper developers that they are unable to get the right click menu on the map when inside an instance. If they disable QuestHelper then the right click menu works.

The QuestHelper developers always reply saying that this is a problem that needs to be fixed in Cartographer.

Are you aware of this problem?
Are you prepared to fix it?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Mark

Is there any reason why the issue of the blue POI that come with Cartographer coming back after you DELETE them hasn't been addressed?

I find it somewhat ridiculous that they would be forced to come back, I like having POI for most things, but when it completely covers all points in Wintergrasp, and virtually hides all world PVP objectives it becomes nothing but a burden.

I'm not sure if the question has been asked and sorry for not going through all the posts here. Anyway, I have an issue with wintergrasp transparency.

I like to set transparency to 0% so the map doesn't cover my entire screen. This using the Lock'n'feel function. It works great in all the zones except wintergrasp. There I can not see any enviorment, only the fortess nodes + towers.

Anyone else experienced this? Would appreciate any help.

DONT, I REPEAT DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FISHING BOT!!! ITS A VIRUS! Deyline3, Aniline2, and Battledoo were ACCOUNTS MADE BY THE SAME PERSON as a way to convince you to download his virus by posting comments admiring the bot. YOU CAN TELL THAT THEY WERE MADE BY THE SAME PERSON BECAUSE ALL THREE ACCOUNTS WERE MADE EITHER TODAY OR YESTERDAY.

Waypoints still work like they did before patch 3.1.3 (i.e. working, but not showing up with a red cross on the map). This is not very surprising, since the latest patch did not change any lua code in the blizzard interface.

The Cartographer Instance modules are causing all right clicking to become disabled while in most instances. Disabling the instance modules fixes the right clicking.

Need help with something in Cartographer.
I use it in conjunction with Zygors Guide, but people that are there aren't really that helpful and I thought it may have something to do with Cart itself.
When i place a note on the map and set it as a waypoint, the minimap arrow/icon thing glows blue. It's quiet distracting really.
Anybody know how to fix or stop it doing this?

Here is what I feel these are stupid questions, because I think the answer is obvious and I am just missing them. And I hope I am posting this in the right place...

* Is there an option that turns the instance location on for the map. For example in Terokkar Forest, the instances in Auchindoun are not identified for me. Additionally, it would be great if it actually pointed out which instance is at which compass point, I have run into the wrong instance more than once...

* The details about which instance and what the fishing skill levels required for the page don't show up on the page. In other words if I am in Terokkar Forest, I don't know the fishing level required there, but I can float my mouse over Nagrand and see what skill level I need there.

Thank you I think that fixd it. :D They were quite handy though. Does anybody have any alternate instance note/map solutions until cartographer is up 100% functional again?

For some reason, since the update, Pitbull and Cartographer no longer work together. Disabling either one fixes the other, but they refuse to load together.

To get right-click to work again in instances: turn off the 3 "instance" modules of cartographer. To do that login to WoW, before entering the world with your char use the "Addons" button to configure which addons are loaded and deselect the 3 cartographer "instance" parts.

Ok lol so i guess i'm not the only one. Does anybody have an idea of what the cause is and how to fix it? Cartographer is really neat and it would be a shame for me to remove it because of a minor fluke. It deosn't seem to be working in any Azeroth instances.

Hi, I have an issue where when I am in an instance, all the dropdown menus in the game do not work. As soon as I leave the instance, they work again. Any idea how to fix this? Seems to only happen when Cartographer is installed.

Thanks, BJR

Yes im also having the problem where i can right click but this only happens in old dungeons, so basically everything not in nothrend. well im not completely sure about that but ive been doing raids in Outland for the achievements and it seems to happen when ever I enter them. This happened once before in northrend but it was fixed a while back so im guessing maybe teh same problem is plaguing the oold world stuff.

I too am unable to open right click options in instances and disabling Cart removes the issue.

So I'm having a problem where I can't even get cartographer options to show. There is a little + next to the word Cartographer, but it will NOT open. Anyone else experiencing this problem? And if so, how did you fix it?
