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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
Not sure why...but sometimes the notes I make and herbs I gather show up, and sometimes they are gone from the map.
jeebus, what a great mod and set of sub-mods. Single mod replaced Gatherer, CTMap, Atlas, and adds so much more. Only request would be a Flight Path addition.
Keep up the great work!
Is there a way to get something like BetterWaypoints into this mod?
BetterWaypoints was incorporated into MetaMap, and as a stand alone uses notes from CT_mapmod, MapNotes as well.
Yes.... please please please can a nice simplistic movable arrow as per the old "BetterWaypoints" (http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1238) and the current MetamapBWP into the Cartographer suite ?
I have moved completely from Metamap to Cartographer and really do miss the incredibly useful little red arrow ;)
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to have Foglight as a seperate addon? I don't really know if I need all this other stuff...
I had cartographer working previously, but now with BC and the latest patch it's messed up really bad now. Like people have already mentioned, herbalism/mining isn't in the newest realize (have to download r19040 to get it) and it's giving errors. Most of the features of cartographer still work for me (like foglight for outland), but I have a huge problem where I can't 'click' the map anymore. Since it doesn't take up the whole screen, when I try to click anywhere, the game acts as if the map screen isn't up. So, I can't right click to zoom out, mouse over doesn't show any sub zones and I can't switch between zones by clicking the sides of the map. Basically, I can't interact with the map at all.
I wouldn't mind a Cartographer_Chests (like gatherer had). Something that would put icons for barrels, food boxes, part boxes, lockers, and chests. Then you could filter the chests (like if you don't want to see food box spawn points anymore or places where locked chests spawned). Basically I want something that remembers where chests have spawned in the past.
Also with the zone info...can you put fishing levels? (that way i dont have to rely on fishing buddy to remind me)
oooh there is an idea. How about something that places fishing pools on the map (when you mouseover the fishing pools, something could catch the location and mark it to the map). A Cartographer_Fisher if you may.
I wouldn't mind flight points being added to Cartographer. (Since when you turn on transparency to the max, the flightmap way points disappear)
I have no idea whats is wrong with this mod, i had it working before, i really liked it, i installed it then updated it with Ace-updater,
but now when i got to open map nothing shows up, the map is not viewable, invisable, all i see is the little icon marker where i am....
any one have a idea what might be causing this and how i might be able to fix it, and if there are any other mods that might be cause cartogrpher to do this.
Thanks ahead of time...
Mining doesn't seem to be working on patch 2.0.5. I get the following errors upon startup and don't seen the nodes I mine in Azuremyst Isles marked on the map/minimap:
Error: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got number) AddOn: Cartographer_Herbalism File: addon.lua Line: 549 Count: 1
Error: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got number) AddOn: Cartographer_Mining File: addon.lua Line: 269 Count: 1
I do see the Herbalism nodes on the minimap and the mainmap. The Quests addon seem to work just fine, but Vendors (r25239) isn't leaving any notes/icons on the map and under options it says it is enabled. Otherwise, great mod! Seems more responsive than Metamap.
I got a similar error. I don't see mining nodes except for Thorium!
Hi there, map notes are working for me 16jan2007.
Metamap has a feature i miss on this addon: The ability to set a destination point and have an arrow pointing on that direction so you dont need to toggle the map.
An idea: if you could put just numbers in the map, it would be super to set routes so i can quest more efficiently with my alts next time.
This is my favorite map addon, thanks :)
Map notes don't seem to be working after the latest patch :-(
@Marsti - No mate I don't think he does. Kind of annoying for us people with legitimate questions. Might be worth trying the Ace forums when they are back up.
ATTENTION!
The newer Download doesn't include the herbs and mining! You have to download Cartographer-r19040 and as an update 2.0.3 r24295.
I was wondering why it doesn't do and find this solution.
is there anyway to make it so where your in a instance you can see where your group is in the dungeon? like you do on the world map
how do i change the look at of the map like from a sqare map like in the pic to a circle map etc?
I have a slight problem
All my instance maps are rotated weirdly, therefore all the notes that go with the maps are not correct
this is much better than MetMap!
Hi, great addon. Are you aware of any othee addons which mess up the co-ordinates? I have 2 sets overlapping. Thanks
