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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

It's up-to-date for 4.0.1 and covers most of Cartographer's functionality. Try playing around with its "minimized map". It's pretty powerful.
Two other map addons that go well with this pack are SexyMap and HudMap:

Posted Oct 28, 2010Even though I had no previous experience with programming LUA, I have been able to keep Cartographer, with the exception of the Look and Feel module, up and running until patch 4.0.1 went live.
I am currently working on fixes to get Cartographer working under WoW 4.0.1 and I have already booked some success: The core module, the two map buttons, Notes and Waypoints are working again, as well as some of the other modules.
After some more testing and - hopefully - enabling some more broken modules, I want to provide the changes for download, as a patch for v2.5.6.
It is extremely time-consuming to figure out how the code works and where the bugs are (and since 4.0.1. there are loads of problems) so please be patient. I hope to be able to post a patch here sometime next week.

Posted Oct 29, 2010Curse will not host your updates, and any links posted will be deleted. Besides, the addon is dead. Leave it be, as there are other, better, addons available.

Posted Oct 29, 2010So be it, but Cartographer is far from dead in my World of Warcraft: at the moment, all modules except Look&Feel and the Instance stuff are working fine again. I am very happy to have all my notes back, for instance.
I think the developers should reconsider their decision, because it is definitely possible to fix Cartographer. Even for a programmer with no real LUA experience but just a good sense for troubleshooting software.

Posted Dec 5, 2010Contact ckknight to get the info you need. Don't pay any attention to negative and rude people like myrroddin. I love the Cartographer addon as do so many others. I would much rather have this one addon than the 6 or 8 others needed to replace it.
I appreciate all the work ckknight and the others did for this addon and I understand why they don't want to work on it anymore.
However, that doesn't give others the right to bash someone for wanting to try and keep it alive if they choose to put in the time and effort and, have permission if needed to do so.
Thanks for your time and efferot Odica. I would love to learn how to write the code for addons.
I look forward to you being able to post a patch soon.

Never. It will never, ever, be updated. Cartographer is dead, and has been dead for over a year! None of the core addon code has been updated in almost two years, and with Cataclysm forcing major changes to the world map and instances, anyone wanting to take over Cartographer would have to start from brand new, as nothing of the old is useful.
I realize this response is blunt, perhaps even rude, but honestly, how do you miss the HUGE RED TEXT in the description? How do you overlook the last release date of 8/5/2009 (August 5, 2009)??
If you want a replacement, get Mapster with Cromulent, HandyNotes, EveryQuest, and GatherMate2. The above combined do the exact same thing, are much easier to maintain, and are more lightweight.

Posted Oct 21, 2010Thanks for years of fun and good times. I will keep this one installed (but turned off) and check for an update often. Maybe some day Santa will answer my wish and bring it back to life. :-)
