Cartographer

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

Hey I think I figured out a way to make cart work in conjunction with mapster. First download both addons, then disable Cart [Fog light] and Cart [look and feel]. YOu can also use TomTom in conjunction if you wish. I dont. Hope it works for you guys it seems to be for me.

You can also just download cart and disable look and feel.

I've disabled Cart Look and Feel, and Fog of War and that returned Cartographer to normal but the map that would come up had the black background and couldn't be moved so I installed Mapster and everything works (including the new map + quests things) + you can resize the map by dragging the edges (an improvement from before!) I hope this helps!

Using this version, "r2331 for 3.2.0 on 15 Dec 2009" from the wowace site seems to have fixed some the problems.
Not sure why curse has not got this version yet....

Just a note to everyone who loved this addon as much as I did. Mapster is a fantastic substitute.
Since the creators are not planning on updating it, as sad as that makes me, Mapster is nearly identical.
Thanks for all your work on this addon guys, it has served me extremely well for many years.

Then you would like Cromulent. Its shows Zone info incuding recommended lvl, fishing skill snd instances. Works great with Mapster.

But anyone knows addons similar to Cartographer_QuestInfo? I miss this marks (points, not areas) on a map, showing where are Quest items/mobs to farm.

First off thanks to Aby for adding the fixes. But I have an issue with my player cursor not showing correctly on the world map. Has anyone seen this problem or know how I can fix it?

I've had the same problem where the map shows me way northeast of my true location in game. More often than not, it's bugged, rendering it nearly useless. Wish I had a fix...

For anyone having issues because Cartographer overlay is not lining up with the new quest-objective type map frame in 3.3 : just turn off the Look'n'Feel module and all other cartographer fucntionality is working fine for me. The 'Cartographer' map floats over the default map, and now that the default map is different (to allow for objective frames around it) they don't line up.

Add:
CartographerLookNFeelOverlayHolder:SetScale(WorldMapDetailFrame:GetScale())

to:
function Cartographer_LookNFeel:WorldMapButton_OnUpdate()

in looknfeel.lua

Also note that's just a little workaround so it doesn't look so bad, it doesn't fix the issue.

This guy asked a basic question and you were a total jackass. It is people like you that keep others from asking the questions that they need answers too simply because they are worried they will be made fun of. Not cool, man, not cool.

Hey, is the previous message legit? Is the latest update at wowace for real? This wouldn't be some hacker coding in a back door, would it? There is a new r2331 version, dated 15 Dec.

What issues does this update fix?

Anybody try it?
