WowAce

Any word?

Hello : )

While I have Cartographer turned off, it still appears on my map. I deleted Cartographer out my addons folder, and the Cartographer icons still appear in my map. I also get a Lua Error, see below.
After I received this error, I cleaned my whole addons folder, with the exception of the standard Blizzard addons of course, used the Blizzard Repair tool, started WoW again, and no succes. No matter what I do, the icons of Cartographer wont go out of my map, and I cant get rid of the Lua error either.
Any help please ? Thx in advance :)

Lua Error:

So there are no plans for repairing Cartographer?

i use to have CARTOGRAPHER but found a Carbonite (you need to google thes one) and Atlas combo alot more to my liking (not saying its better just that i like it more) gathermate takes care of nods/herbs hope these helps :)

oh hey also i looked around at alot of addons yesterday and i went to get mapster. turned off cartographers foglight, coordinates and look and feel like it said to and it looks like everything i want and like is working so my suggestion.............do what i just did

Disabling the 'Look & Feel' plugin puts the player arrow in the correct place when viewing quest objectives (Patch 3.3) and possibly other incompatibilities.

the 'Mapster' addon will restore the ability to move/resize and change opacity of the world map.

lol, wish i had read this before i updated to premium. lesson learned. i figure the help i have gotten in-game is worth the 25 bucks, belatedly for QH etc. dont count on future support though.

my question is WHY are you not going to update cartographer anymore?
look i understand its alot of work. i do really. i also understand that its not your real job and doesnt pay the bills like semi4 said. i also understand that you make and work on alot of other addons (i looked at the author info provided here).
i did not see the post by arrowmaster so i dont know what smartass comment he made and i dont care either.
but heres where most of us stand (im sure youve heard it all but im new to posting lol)
cartographer is among the highest downloaded and used by wow players. it was my second addon (questhelper first) when i started playing wow less than 2 years ago. it covers everything. and i feel that throwing it away when it works so damn well and is used by SO many people is a waste of your hard work that has already gone into it.
so WHY are you throwing it away and not going to update it ever again? why? i just dont understand.

I understand the users animosity toward the creators of Cartographer ( I understand but do not condone) as Cartographer is a unique and very powerful, almost indispensable, tool and it will be terrible to see it vanish. I have huge amounts of information that has taken years to build, as notes and such (also mining/herbology information) that I have grown to depend on and I am not sure if any other program can utilize that data. (Heck I am not even sure where that data is stored or what the format is).

I can understand how some could be angered that such a great tool as Cartographer is no longer going to be updated but life changes and it is not as if this is their real job that pays their real bills.

I am surprised though that others, who know about such things, have not stepped up and taken over. I play DAoC, that has fewer than 50k subscribers now, and when a great UI stopped being updated other UI creators jumped in and took it over, creating updates and in one case one UI maker includes an updated version of the defunct UI in their own UI install package.

WoW has over 10 million users and in all of those people there is no one with the skill to fix Cartographer, fix it in a way that players can just download and install and then put that fix here?

It is sad to see Cartographer vanish. For now I have followed some advice and shut off Look and Feel. That seems to let me see the old notes and it auto adds new gathering information though I can no longer change or add my own notes. I know that this is just a temp fix and soon, after future WoW patches, I will no longer be able to even view the old information. I just wish there was some way to utilize all the collected information in another similar UI.

To the authors of Cartographer, thanks for a UI that was better than all the rest and thanks for all your efforts over the years.

Why not update it in the manner Arrowmaster suggests?

nerd comes to post on here every other day but wont update his addon

Ckknight and Arrowmaster - just wanted to say thanks for the long time you did keep this thing running. It is one of the only addons I've not found a replacement for that I eventually got used to. Cheers!

@ NeVeRLiFt

The authors which includes Arrowmaster for Cartographer have licenses for there addons which means unless other wise stated that they can not be modified and/or distributed unless you have permission from the author them self.

@ ElrickEnonimis

DO NOT post links to addons from non reputable addon sites there is a process here to upload addons for a reason and when you bypass that people lose that security.

@ Everyone else

Be careful downloading addon that is not from a reputable site! This is how people get their accounts hacked.

After Arrowmaster's smartass post below and the horrible attitude he's showing towards people who are trying to fix this mod I finally gave in and found a nice way to replace this mod.
