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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).

Posted Jan 14, 2010You can't, for example, enable only Fog Removal, leaving everything, and i mean EVERYTHING else off.

Posted Jan 15, 2010However if you only want fog removal, I would probably use MozzFullWorldMap. Or, if you just want the rough locations of where you should go, try Explorer Coords.

Posted Jan 13, 2010alternatively if you don't want to delete the Look n Feel (step 3), you can do the following:
================================================
Edit Cartographer_LookNFeel\looknfeel.lua
Find "function Cartographer_LookNFeel:WorldMapButton_OnUpdate()"
To the next line add: "CartographerLookNFeelOverlayHolder:SetScale(WorldMapDetailFrame:GetScale())"
And presto, the Look N Feel part works! There's a small catch, though... if you use Blizzard's new quest tracker with the world map, it incorrectly offsets all the map notes, questhelper waypoints, etc, including your current position. However, if you have Questhelper you really don't need Blizzard's do you?

Posted Jan 13, 2010----------------
cartographer.lua
----------------
at the beginning of line 371 add "--[[" with no quotes.
at line 385 add a - in front of the --[[ just to make sure our block comment doesn't end prematurely.
at line 398 remove a ] from the --]] again to make sure our block comment doesn't end prematurely.
at line 1070 add "--" at the front of the line to comment out that line, don't use quotes...do this again at line 1074
---------
notes.lua
---------
goto line 1810
change the whole line "frame:SetFrameLevel(9)" to "frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 20)" don't add the quotes.
at the end of notes.lua add the following block starting on a new line:
"function Cartographer_Notes:PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD(...)
rotateMinimap = GetCVar("rotateMinimap") == "1"
end "
don't put the quotes in. If you are not sure how to jump to a specific line simply open the .lua file in notepad and press ctrl+g to open the goto box allowing you to go to a specific line.
Hope that helps!

Posted Jan 12, 2010Cartographer works, you just have to make a few.. adjustments!
==============================================
As previously stated, these fixes are:
1. install the latest cart v2 from the wowace site:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/cartographer/
2. install Mapster http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/mapster.aspx
3. completely delete the Cartographer_LookNFeel component in the addon folder
4. now for the tricky part, edit Cartographer\Cartographer.lua and delete or comment out lines 371 through 442, 1070, and 1074.
5. Now, edit Cartographer_Notes\Notes.lua and change line 1810 from: frame:SetFrameLevel(9)
To:
frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 20)
And at the end of the file add these lines:
function Cartographer_Notes:PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD(...)
rotateMinimap = GetCVar("rotateMinimap") == "1"
end
load the game and there you have it, worldmap using Mapster, with all the quest info and other stuff from Cartographer still functioning normally, and the new "show quest objective" working properly.
Also turn off the Cartographer coordinates component and use the Mapster one
