Cartographer

Table of Contents

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

not sure if the problem im getting is a combination of mods or just cartographer, but with cartographer enabled when your inside of an instance ya can't click on your portrait or groups pics or use any other drop down menu type function, cuz it pops up then goes away instantly

Ok adding that i figured out its the silver dragon addon that is messed up i guess it dont like cartographer to much. ok /phew i almost thought i was gonna hafta live with out cartographer for awhile or just not do any instances

If you have the portrait left click not working in instances problem, try disabling Speed_Fu addon or if you have similar.

I was wondering if you were considering an update for questinfo? Since nobody has posted over on that mod's board in a while.

Hello, thankyou for your addon it has helped me find my way around Instances and where to fish ^^

But could you maybe include party member 'dots' within the instance maps? Sometimes it's hard to quickly pinpoint my/other's location. Sorry if this has been said before. Thankyou

You have got to be kidding me!!
I've just upgraded to latest version.
What happened to my dynamic map?
Used to be I could open the map window full screen to see where I was going.
Now it's just a static map?
Nice job.
The latest version isn't always the BEST version...
I just love wasting my gaming time messing with crap software.

Dynamic map? You must be thinking of Cartographer3 not Cartographer2.

Another kiddy that thinks the world owes him something.

Let's not forget that these people often put in extensive personal time developing these add-ons.

Your ignorance preceeds you when you makes posts like that. Next time you feel like taking the time to post something ignorant, make sure you're looking at the right program first, Einstein.

Be nice if the devs could block asshats like you from using ANY add-ons. The community doesn't need little brats like you popping off in pubescent anger, like that.

Problem with the "Zone Map" Not the Main Map, not the Mini-Map, ZONE map.
When I open Main Map, my zone map goes to showing everything like it's unexplored, even if it is explored with Foglight part off,
and when I turn foglight off, Zone Map shows correctly.
I like the Foglight, and Zone map, but I don't want to compromise,

If you could figure a way to get Foglight to show all unexplored on Main Map, and keep the Zone Map from going "All Unexplored" on me, that'd be great,

Because believe it or not Zone Map helps me...

there is open world map click cartographer then goto foglights then click on color code this sets or activates foglights by default it's turned off as most people don't want fog of war activated.

Perfect addon for me - that is, if it didn't switch to full-screen mode after a while.

Doesn't matter if I disable all the other addons or re-download the files, it just won't let me change it back to the normal size.

What's up with that?
Guess I'll have to stick to Cartographer 3 instead, which isn't quite as good :|

that only happened in instances and is fixed with the latest beta of cartographer. a workaround is to open the map, reduce it's size, and right click stuff while the map is still open. that works for some reason

Recently, I couldn't inspect people, invite/uninvite them etc. Generally I pressed the right mouse button and nothing happened from the usual features. The problem came and go though, it wasn't constant. I asked a GM and he told me that Cartographer created this problem, so I uninstalled it and everything is fine. You should consider this.

when I adjust the transparency of the world map, the local map for wintergrasp (including time remaining) does not show. All I get are various locations within wintergrasp on a transparent background.,
