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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

I've been using Cartographer for its map-related goodness, and QuestHelper for questing. However I find the only thing I really use QuestHelper for is to get the quest objectives to show on the World Map.

I decided to try disabling QuestHelper since I don't really need its main functions, but now I can't get Cartographer Quest Objectives to show up on the map. Any ideas?

Hmm... it seems that the Quest Objectives is actually part of a seperate addon. I'm going to try Cartographer_QuestInfo.

I love this addon, it has helped me a lot since i started using it, then i switch to carbonite to try that out. the only thing i can see that this would need is the same kind of minimap options. scrollable and sizeable minimap options would be awesome.

So far I have been very pleased with Cartographer. It was a huge help in exploration for the achievements and continues to be a huge help for marking places of importance. Other than an occasional Lua error when I die in Northrend, I have no complaints. Great addon. :)

I had to sign up because no one could help me out.

The Fog Light feature does not work properly. I am being told it is a bug. The mod works fine, all my mods work fine and I use the updated version.

I fiddle with the slide bar, but I cannot make unexplored areas lightly shaded. I either shade the whole map or none at all.

Please fix this, thanks.

In Hrothgar's Landing, I am unable to set waypoints or create notes. I'm just wondering if this is a known issue that will be resolved soon, or if it works fine there for everyone else and it's just me for some reason.

If you are worried about hacking, get a Digipass from Blizzard to add two-factor authentication to WoW ($6.50 + shipping). Nearly eliminates key logging hacks since the code changes every few minutes. Not a 100% solution, but it will reduce your risk considerably. I doubt the mod had a virus in it as those usually require some sort of executable to install. Which would mean you installed something or your machine and it has probably been compromised for some time now.

Awesome add-on, do not know why people are getting these errors, as I have never gotten one myself. You have to make sure you got the latest edition of WoW, and the latest add-ons. Keep it coming ckknight!

@ZizBF: Your account being hacked has nothing related to the useage of the addon, please read the World of Warcraft add-on terms of use, and im sure you'll see why.

@azaszin: like I said, I've used this add-on for a while without any problems, and hope to again. last night I downloaded the latest version and my account was hacked today. No other changes to my system and I'm on a Mac... no found viruses or spyware - I don't share my account info with anyone and don't use it on any other computer. Based on this and the earlier report of a trojan I think it's fairly clear what happened. Bliz's Add-on policy really doesn't seem to address this issue.

Use the current version at your own risk.

How long has it been since you changed your password?
Your account information could have been compromised at any time from then to now.
If you're sure the addon can do it, post the relevant code and prove it.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

I've used Cartographer for a long time, and really like it. But...

I downloaded the latest version last night (10/3 at about 9pm Pacific) and by this morning my account was hacked. I created a trial account and saw two of my 80s online within 20 minutes, so I know I'm losing my gold and items, and probably the guild vault contents as well (yes, I had a friend send an email to the guild to withdraw my access rights, but who knows if it's in time).

I'm on a Mac and don't typically worry about these types of things happening to me. I'm running a scan on my system anyway, but it seems that WOW can be compromised on any platform by these add-ons. I thought Curse scanned all files before allowing them to be downloaded?

Anyway, I hope they update the file soon so it's safe to download.

"I was breathing, then I turned purple, so something I was breathing must have caused me to turn purple."

Addons have no access to your login information. If you think I'm wrong, post the portion of the code that obtained your login information and transmitted it. It's all just text files -- post the code, and prove it.
