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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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 8, 2010This is what i did to keep all the cartographer features, while using Mapster for the map itself It disabled the cartographer wolrdmap buttons since they seemed outa place
1. I installed the latest cart v2 from the wowace site.
2. I installed mapster
3. now for the disabling of worldmap buttons parts, comment out lines 371 to 442 + line 1070 + line 1074 in Cartographer.lua
4. To make cartographer notes to work Edit Notes.lua thats in Cartographer_Notes folder
Change line 1810 from: frame:SetFrameLevel(9)
To: frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 20)
This will put the note creation/editing window above the map and above gathermate icons.
If you still get icons/notes showing above the edit window, increase the "+ 20 " till it's above them.
5. completely disabled the look'n'feel component in the char selection screen addon button.
load the game and there you have it, worldmap using mapster, with all the questinfo and other stuff from carto still functioning normaly,
and the new "show quest objective" working properly.
I also turned off the carto coordinates component and use the mapster one

Posted Jan 8, 2010Aparently it does open the dialog just behind the map, so you can't do anything with it.
But i found how to fix it
Edit Notes.lua thats in Cartographer_Notes folder
Vhange line 1810 from: frame:SetFrameLevel(9)
To: frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 10)
This will put the note creation/editing window above the map and above gathermate icons, if you still get icons/notes showing above the edit window increase the "+ 10 " till it's above them.

Posted Jan 11, 2010frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 10) seems to put the window under the new quest icon thingies that show up on the map when you in that mode.
so frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 20)
puts its above it.

Posted Jan 5, 2010CARTOGRAPHER WORKS FINE
***********************
READ BELOW
Simply go into your addon selection screen and disable the "Cartographer Look and Feel" part. Everything else works 100%, and there is no conflict with the new built in 3.3 display code.
If someone on the front page could edit their post and reflect this information, it would be appreciated.

Posted Jan 3, 2010Mapster - For the map itself as well as some other cartographer features
TomTom - For the waypoints. Personally, I like the tomtom waypoints better..
HandyNotes - Mapnotes (alt-rightclick map to place)
HandyNotes_Guild - Shows guildmembers like cart did..
Thats pretty much it for now. Sux that I have to use 4 other addons to replace one, but guess that just tells you how good cart really was. ;)

Posted Jan 3, 2010I recommend to you to switch to Mapster ( http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/mapster.aspx ) which does the same thing that Cartographer and which is frequently updated.

Posted Jan 5, 2010You setting rotateMinimap in main block, but it takes value from CVar. Not all CVars initialized at the addon load.
Add
function Cartographer_Notes:PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD(...)
rotateMinimap = GetCVar("rotateMinimap") == "1"
end
to the end of Notes.lua and add it as event listener.

Posted Dec 31, 2009Guys, My cartogropher works good! Everything will work except for the Look 'n' feel function. Really, to make it not mess up your map, in the addons menu (at the choose character screen), click the addons button. Make sure that you load out of date addons as cartogropher might count as out of date, and uncheck "cartographer [look 'n' feel]" under "cartogropher" Now, just restart your game, and everything should work except for resizing. Ps: Not sure if notes work as i don't know how to make notes but, if they dont just use MapNotes. This might not work for everyone unfortunately, but it will work for some people. :)
