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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
I seem to have the opposite problem from another poster. I can see group members but I can no longer see any of my guildmates? Is this feature not backwards compatable? Do they laso need this new version or did I do something wrong on install? I get no errors they just do not show unless I invite them to a group.
Seems to be a bug with the new Rock configuration, or a feature that was removed, not sure which.
The "Alternate" map no longer functions nor can you configure it.. seems Cartographer now only has ONE map rather than the old toggleable 2.. I really liked having a small one for navigation and a larger to be able to see guildmates and such :( Not sure I'll even use map anymore since I don't need any of the other features that much cept being able to see people.. *sigh*
I dont know if Im retarded or I smoke to much dope But I have been trying to get it to work I know how to make Waypoints with Cartographer but I dont like search for the spots am looking for using the mouse. I want to be able to Type in enter the Waypoint then it show me where to go. I just find it takes to much time to find the Coords for a spot on the map using your mouse. If I could simply type them in and it tell me then im gonna save alot of time. I'm trying to power level this character and just trying to get the useful mods to work.
i downloaded mining database part ages ago --and now i downloaded the herblist part but i am having a problem with it. It keeps saying
"Interface\AddOns\Cartographer_Herbalism\addon.lua line 415:attempt to index field 'L' (a nil value)"
whenever i start the game, and when i pick a herb it doesnt show up on my map. ne1 have any ideas what wrong?
I updated my cartographer along with my fubar as well. Now all of my mapnotes are gone for herbs and mining. I made sure with this new rock configuration everything is enabled and nothing. I mine and new mine or pick a herb and it doesnt mark them down. I tried deleting that crayon2.0 as someone mentioned and that still didnt work. Anyone got some ideas to fix this please?
noticed that ace2 needed to be update and that fixed it for me
I have found that with the latest version of Cartographer, which uses the Rock config libraries, that it uses a new version 3 of crayonlib.
My Addons directory had an old copy of crayonlib that was version 2 and it seems that the 2 versions dont play well together. Removeing the old version made all the errors go away
Mine is giving me a bunch of errors too. Very annoying. I also cannot filter any of my herbalism herbs........plz fix this
after the updates from 18/09/2007, my FuBar interface is now replaced with Rock Configuration!? I found it in the main Cartographer folder. Whatever it is, I could do with a working version that will allow changes to all of my FuBar mods or simply remove it so I can use the default interface which worked just fine. Other than that, Cartographer is great stuff!
I have not been able to even open the latest versions of this. Too many errors to list here. Seems to all start with Dewdrop-2.0 errors.. then continues to fail from that point.
Nothing loaded when all the errors are done.
I have installed the add on but when I load the game there is nothing there. I have activated the addon in my player screen and I dont get an error message when I log on. Do i have to type something to activate the addon ????? someone email me please at [email protected] cause i probly wont be able to find this page again.
This version is messing up pit bull unit frames. The error indicates that the Rock configuration libraries is the cause. Pit Bull works fine until I install Cartographer. Unit Frame > Map mod so cartographer loses.
It looks like the Rock Config lua's are incompatible.
(I would post the bug, but WoW is down. )
anyone know how to get the map to open and close with just a click of the M button. I can make it open but when I try to close it it just move the map up alittle.
is there a posible way to remove the crapy rock thing the setup interface totaly sucks
I have a problem with the "show position of guild members" function. I can see my guildies position perfectly well. However, they cant see my position. I tried to install a new version of the cartographer, but i keep being invisible for my guildmembers. Any suggestions? (I have already tried deactivating and activating the function incl relogging, it doesnt help).
I'm recently trying to move from MetaMap to Cartographer. I've come to really appreciate the Knowledge Base in MetaMap. Where you can search for ANY NPC in the world and find um. In Cartographer, is there an NPC database that can be added? How do you search mappoints, notes, waypoints, etc... in Cartographer?
Also, what do I do with the BAT file that moves the Cartographer directories?
How do I make a map note that points to where I'm currently standing? Without mousing around the map. I saw /note but you must enter the coords.
Where can I find documentation?
ok... so... my first issuse is that i cant zoom out to view the whole area. second i am not able to view any of my extra maps (i.e. Instances, battlegrouds)
Can any1 help me out????
I have the same problems that sbridgeford is having only with the update the old one works fine
I have been having an issue lately (and some of my guildmates too). Some of our characters can not view instance maps for more than 1-4 seconds. You open your map if in the instance or you select teh map if not and it shows the map for 1-4 sec then autoswitches to what ever map was being view before. This is only on select characters not every one on an account. Most have the same addons configured the same way save some class specific ones and thoes are not the same between say the Rogue 7 hunter which have the problem and the Warlock, Warrior, Shaman who do not.
Has anyone run into this problem before and know a work around? (I tried copying the profiles of the ones who worked to ones who didn't and still nothign)
