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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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 tried to fix it myself. It's not a real fix but it should work better.
Here are my files: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/167044/Cartographer-zip.html

Does anyone who has experience with both Mapster and Cartographer have an opinion as to which is the better alternative - Cartographer with Look and Feel disabled or Mapster?

Yes there is confirmation. The addon would need a complete rewrite. The authors don't have time for this and some don't even play anymore. It would be good if they wrote this into the addon description, so people don't need to ask the same question over and over.
But - as only the look and feel module seems to be broken (the rest is mostly working) I'm still hoping that this can be fixed without said rewrite. The authors used to be kind enough to care for minor fixes.
That's why I'm still checking this page.
That being said - we will have to look for alternatives. Every patch might break it completely. (Sadly enough there are none at the moment.)

Ah and btw - this has nothing to do with Cartographer 3. Don't start flames in that direction. As far as I understood Cart 3.0 is dead as well.

Can you tell me, where did you find this information? please link it.
As far as i can see on the wowace site are the authors still devellopping lots of wow addons. If the authors have time for a 'stupid' fu_bar addon why not cartographer? A simple note from the authors in the description makes everything clear.

Has there been any confirmation that this is dead?

Given how much changed to the map I would think they're stuck with real life stuff and this being a lot bigger update need than in the past.

At least they had "the time or the spine" to make and maintain a free addon for our enjoyment in the first place.

Thanks for all your time and efforts!

In the meantime, I'll be using Mappy, Mapster, HandyNotes and TomTom. It won't totally replace Cartographer; so, I'll keep checking this page for someone to pick it up.

So all together the addon is dead and its useless to ask for updates.
Try to find someone who would take over, and skip on the authors who didnt even have the time or the spine to anounce it clearly that this is dead.
We got lots of excuses otherwise.

I don't understand this idea of doing free stuff. Is this required? Do they HAVE to do it for nothing? I'd certainly be willing to pay some cash for the triumphant return of Cartographer. As has been said, nothing else comes close. Nothing.

I haven't heard that - One of the authors has stated that it is no longer being maintained, though.
