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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
Im not getting any errors or anything like that, but when i right click the map it doesnt go further out of the map. only problem im having with it.
works now
Cant download new version =S says
This project and its downloads are currently unavailable while our moderators investigate it based on user reports.
Why? It was like that yesterday too.
Yea, this is a classic UI design error. Just move the report button to the other side - or vice versa if you want it prominent.
whos the moron that reported the new version? the download/report buttons side by side is stupid. Please release the file so people can download it.
damn fatfingered wow players.
No offense..but..what does being fat fingered matter? You're clicking..having fat fingers doesn't make you accidentally click the wrong thing.. Weirdo. Even if you're tabbing the bloody links you still don't accidentally hit the wrong button unless you're slightly retarded and forget what's what..
"Fat Fingered" is a common phrase for when someone presses a button near the button they meant to push.
I guess that "swoosh" sound you heard was the joke going over your head.
Suggestion: Make a player/partymember/guildy a waypoint.
i must be a moron lol.
i have been trying to pull up the cartographer menu to change what it shows but i cant find it anywhere. I have tried doing /cartographer but that doesnt come up with anything. how do i open the cartographer menu? i dont see a icon or anything for it anywhere.
when i go to the map all i see is my normal drop down and no other menu button in there either.
please help
I also use Gatherer but am finding that it doesn't seem to display on my maps. Is there someway to fix that? There are times when my other characters need to see where ore or herbs are located.
Hi, is there anyway that somebody send me something that show all npc, all note of somebody. Like. Im saving all my note and my npc place and then i want to give it to someone then he could have my same note. It is possible?! If yes is there any website that i can download some note and thing like that?!
Ty!
Hiya,
I think there is a problem/conflict between this addon and Battlefield Commander. I'm aware that I can get this addon to look similar to it (I use both) but I like the narrow look and tiny frame of BFC when I'm exploring the world.
The problems I am having are:
1. The "fog" (uneplored area) is always covered now in BFC since using Cartographer. I can't get it to reveal the area at all. I'm fairly certain that Cartographer did something because BFCs map was fine until I opened Cartographer and toggled to the ALT-M map. I tried checking all of my Cartographer settings but nothing fixed the problem.
2. The author of Battlefield Commander has gone missing in action.
Does anyone here use both of them and have this same problem?
Thanks in advance. Happy adventuring.
PS: I just discovered that when I log out and back in BFC is fixed, but as soon as I click Cartographer the fog returns and covers BFCs map. Cartographers map remains fine.
Found the answer. Apparently with new patches, the item cache sometimes gets wiped so you have to click on those numbers a couple times or so for the item to show up.
Can't seem to see anything in boss loot all a sudden. Just shows red numbers like [8367] stuff like that. That new patch causin trouble? Thanks for any info.
Firefirealone, when you log into WoW, at the character select screen, on the bottom left is an 'Addons' button. Click on that, look for Cartographer in the list, and mouse over it. It should tell you what dependencies you're missing.
i cant get it to work it keeps sayin dependency missing anyone know wats wrong with it
Why cant I make the brownish border of maps in BG's not transparant anymore? For example AV...in the middle is the land...but on the left and right side there is alot brown 'mapfilling' (or whatever) that in earlier versions used to be able to make it transparant. Why isnt that possible anymore?
Guys I'm having a problem. My notes aren't showing up half the time in Cartographer... If I keep opening and closing the map, they MAY show up but this includes personal notes, quest notes, and any other note included. I assume the note system is built-in to Cartographer? Because all I have in my AddOns directory is: - Cartographer - Cartographer_QuestObjectives - Cartographer_Quests
Thanks
How do you get the share notes feature to work? I have it installed and turned on. When I try to share a note, after I type in the person's name in the box and hit enter the name disappears but the note is not sent. I have also tried grouping and sharing it using the share with group option but that doesn't work either. I am trying to share it with another toon of mine on another account. Both are on line at the same time on seperate cpus and both have the addons updated, installed and running.
