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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
Most recent version can be found: http://files.wowace.com/Cartographer/Cartographer-r50747.31.zip
Haven't tried it yet though.
Ya, doesn't work.
If you try to switch maps to look at an instance map when you are in say, Iron Forge, nothing happens.
Sucks, cause this addon use to rock.
This addon is so broken that its a pain in the ass having it on. Worst thing is new versions keep coming, i downloaded like 20-30 new versions since last patch and its still broken. I don't know whats going on but its not good. Theres cartographer1 - some "ace override" addon god knows what for that is supposed to fix some problems, and it did at one point then errors started popping again with newer versions. I'm thinking of giving up for the time being maybe come check it in a couple of months..
I get the following errors every time I log in :
Error: AceLocale(Cartographer_POI): Translation "POI" does not exist.

The only way Ive found to get this mod to work, with a minimal amount of errors is to use the old version that doesnt have rock in it... >.> Otherwise I get errors and then it gets disabled.
I got problems with this add-on and all the cartographer add-ons, i have no i dea what wrong i get an error saying that he can't find Dewdrop-2.0, wow then does not load cartographer, does anyone know how i can make it work again?
Hmm, I've tried opening the 'Alternate Map' and simply altering its settings ... but if I hit the keybinding for 'Alternate Map', then make the map smaller and more transparent, then close the 'Alternate Map' ... the next time I open the normal 'World Map' it is now smaller and more transparent, just like the 'Alternate Map'.
Is this a bug then, or am I missing some way of configuring correctly?
i keep getting an error whenever i get on my mount. Both flying and land based. Anyone else getting that?
Turning off ArcHUD made Cartographer work again.
I got Atlas and Atlas loot and all is fine.
Thanks for the tip.
last post was with my GF's account (Susselull) and ye, I have tried to do what it says for creating a note, but it seems like I'm clicking right through the map...
I'm also getting some strange error on the cartographer plugins about translator already loaded... tried posting it 3 times but it never gets posted!
oh, and I don't see my waypoint arrow nymore eiter, typing /way xx,yy it just blurrs where it should be and then nothing
It would be nice if Cartographer had the option similar to MetaMap that shows what your tracking (e.i. Herbs, Mines, and Hunter skills) in the Map Button around the minimap. Clears up some room for mods that add more spheres. Besides that, great mod.
Turn off your other addons, they are conflicting with cartographer. Do a couple at a time until you get cartographer to work. I had to disable ArcHud, Atlasloot, Gatherer, and a few others until it worked properly. This is just a temp work around, since you will still get the LAU error msgs but cartographer will "work". I hope this helps until they release a fix.
You will know its working when you click on the 'Rock Configuration' and then see a listing of all the addons you have loaded. If you see 'Rock' only then its not working. BTW I have no idea wth 'rock' was introduced into the addon.
I am still getting the same errors as Endarirendarire is anytime I mouse over anything in my bag or open my map.
I disabled it and no longer get the errors.
In the top left corner on cartographer it says "Ctrl-Right-Click to create a note" in white text, have you tried it?
ofc I have, tried it (last post was with my GF's acc btw) it seems like I'm clicking throug the map or something since I've targeted some ppl this way... real strange!
Is there anyway to disable the "rock" config... tbh I liked the old config a lot more!
oh, and I'm getting:
for every Cartopgrapher plugin I have at startup!
might just be me but I can't make a note on the map... tried every button I can find but nothing happends...
can it have something to do with the fact that I need to hold down the "alt" button while right click to zoom out?
My Cartographer is for 2.2 yet I get these errors.
