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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
They fixed the group colors showing on the main map but they still do not show up correctly on the mini-map so hopfully they will fix this as the continue to update it. I am using the latest from http://wiki.wowace.com/index.php/Cartographer
Correction it works but you have to disable and re-enable group colors for them to correctly show on the mini-map after you upgrade.
if there is anyway could it be set up so I can open and close it with the M key
No fix yet, we're waiting on some news about this. That Rock configuration thingy is the new configuration tool for FuBar & Cartographer it seems, although apparently it seems to handle most Ace2 based mods as well. It's pretty new (seems to be about less than a month) and people seem fairly mixed on it, some love it, many seem to hate it. Personally, I can't stand it. I loved my old configuration menus, but that's just me.
Yep, I confirm that Cartographer doesn't work. None of my Gatherer nodes are appearing, but if you mouse over the spot its there. Odd...
Go to the wiki site, all the latest updates are there, this one is well out of date.
Cartographer no longer works since release of 2.2 client of Wow, french. Ace, Ace2 and Cartographer all updated. The addon does not appear when M key is pressed. The coords are visible but nothing else works. It's the game in map that shows. The guild installer gave everyone in the guild (over 80 people) the addon and it works _nowhere_
Can we get a bigger size of the configuration/setnotes etc windows please? your 100% is way to small - we shouldn't really need external programs to resize it should we? :)
Also, is there a commandline function to set a temporary waypoint like in Metamap?
like /bwp 22,22 - gets you a temporay pointer to this location
Also, there is no readme?
Also, it seems you intercept nodes and prevent gathere from recording their location?
For the person that requested a way to type in waypoints, it is the same as cartographer has always been. Just type "waypoint 42,20" or whatever coords you want. I just wish I could find the option on this latest cart to have my temp waypoints show up as an X on the mini map again.
You can type "/way 20,41" (or whatever coordinates you want) you don't have to type /waypoint.
In the rock configuration menu, click "cartographer" then click "waypoints" then check the "show waypoint icons" box. Now click the "notes" tab. Here you can use "Minimap icon size" to adjust the size of the minimap icons. Now when you make a waypoint it will automatically put a red x on the minimap at whatever size you set it to.
Cartographer pre-rock still works for me on 2.2. I still get errors every so often, but I can still add notes, and the instance maps still work. >.>
Can we get a version that doesn't have that terrible 'rock' thing?
It's changed cartographer from one of the best addons I've downloaded to one of the worst...

for those where cartographer seems not to work, check the other addons. for me it showed up that either ace or mapnotes fanupdate blocked cartographer
Well it is updated on wowace.com/files but it still doesn't work at all for me. And the cart database/mining doesn't work either.
I also get no errors, but the group colors won't work anymore. Everything is white, except for AFK debuffed people in battlegrounds, who are purple.

This doesn't work at all for me. I am so upset I need to have my cartographer back and no useful info is being posted here. Is anybody working on this? Do we need to give some donations to help out?
