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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

So sad to see this once great addon go the way of the Dodo. It is completely broken with the new 3.3.0 patch release. Guess it needs be added to the Cartographer 3.0 pile of things once great and now gone. Sad to hear it won't be updated.

I really never realized until patch 3.3 hit how badly I relied on cartographer.

I have tried to find other addons to replace it but no combination so far has served to act as well as cart. It truly was in my opinion one of those things in wow that you saw as almost a part of the game, it just made everything so much more intuitive. I am sorry to see it finally break after months of working past its due. I am in a way angry at blizzard, I wish there was a way to disable this new map mode.

I just wish someone could pick this up, I would but my knowledge is limited and nowhere near enough to work on this colossal piece of code.

i think i speak for like all ppl who love this addon that new authors who can make/edit addons should speak to knight for getting the author rights or @ least with his consent to make this addon back up to date and keeping it alive :)

Quote from Zidomo:
I'm not a Cartographer author. I'm a beta tester. The revision I put up last week has no bearing on how dead Cartographer is. Which it apparently is as of this date.

It has been dead since patch 3.0.

If someone will pick the development up on cart, i'd gladly start donating again to help out. With 3.3 cart is having all sort of display issues.

that 'update' still says 2.5.6. Which is the version released last last August. Which isn't any more updated than the Curse version.
