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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).
I downloaded this from wowace just now and I think its great - but unless I can find a way to remove its Icon from the minimap I wont be able to use it - everytime I mouse ove the icon - the whole map pops up and its getting realy annoying. Ive gone into the cartography menu and unclicked show minimap icon but it wont go. Any ideas?
Cartographer R26663 "2007-01-31"

How do I reset the map position? Accidently locked and enlarged it so that the scale option is outside my screen. Don't ask me how that happened, just tell me how to fix it ;) ^^
Thanx for a great addon (the little i got to try it before i fucked it up ;))

Is it pos to make notes and save them to dif profiles? Im trying to do quest logs based on Levels 1-10, 11-20 but it seems that it dont save the notes seprate to the profile.
perhaps im doing something wrong?
thanks :)
Bummed because this mod is really promising, but I also get the 269 error and it isn't tracking my mining nodes properly. Also, I cannot zoom out of the map! When I right click, it shows the larger map for a split second and forces me back to the zone I am in.
If all this were working properly, the only thing I'd miss about metamap is the tiny set of coords that appears in the minimap. Any chance those can be put in?
I missing updates of mining and herbalism plugins for this addon :(
excellent addon. I am really enjoying it. however, on occasion when logging into a mining character (I have it set to default setting to track mines if the character has the profession), I get the following error message:
\interface\addons\cartographer_mining\addon.lua:269 bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got number)
any ideas why, and if it's a setting I have messed up or?
mod is working great for me.
My only question is...How do I merge two notes that are close together?
The version I have (r25291) doesnt show Netherbloom on a french client. I saw the translation is missing, guess you didnt have the input. The netherbloom in french server is called "Néantine" Ancient lichen = Lichen ancien Flame Cap = Chapeflamme
Thanks for the mod :)
Ok, the Cartographer_Mining and Cartographer_Herbalism are not in the package anymore, why? They were present in the "Cartographer-r19040" version, but not in the two most recent version of cartographer. Can we expect to see them again soon? I really hope so, because it's very usefull. Otherwise, great mod!
I cannot get the MINING veins to show up at all in this addon????
It says "Put the Cartographer folder, Cartographer_Herbalism, and Cartographer_Mining into \World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\ " yet the zip file has no Cartographer_Mining folder? Was this taken out of the version or is it just buggy to all hell?
I remember in Gatherer that when gathering herbs and ore Gatherer would remember the ore vein or herb even if you didn't had that skill, so my priest who was herbalist also tracked ore veins for my warrior. Neat, could it be done with Cartographer maybe?

But I have a really strange Problem:
The AddOn works great on my Main-Char. But on several Twinks, it get's laggy, when I change the Map-View to another zone as the one, I am in. The Game get's laggy - when I change to some Ini-Map's, the Map shows up some other Zones instead of the Instance.
The Char's are all on the same realm. They use ALL the same profile (default). But the AddOn only works with 3 char's out of 7.
I don't know, why I have that issue. Deleted all the files in the wtf-folders... but always the same problem. With my warlock, shami (draenei) and rouge, the addon f... up... It works fine with my Mage and Druid.
any solutions for this?

I can't tell but, do they all use same addons. i mean do your druid and mage have some of addons disabled that, the other chars have enabled or difrent? .
Or. It can meaby be the folders with your carecter information in \World Of Warcraft\WTF
@Anden1991
yes, they use the same AddOn's (as written - they all use the same Profile in Cartographer). I haven't installed any cartographer plug-in's.
well, there aren't any cartographer-files in the wtf/account/realm subfolders - ony in wtf/account/savedvariables - ONE file for all char's.
i have deleted the .lua in the wtf-folder as well - tried it with clean installations... same problem. I have tried all cartographer-versions since december 06 - same problems with every version ?!?
Interface\AddOns?\Cartographer\Modules\Notes.lua:2445: attempt to index local 'localeHandler' (a nil value)
It's spamming me this error all the time in-game. Of course its happening only when im zones that have notes, and also started happening after i updated using Ace Updated to r25952

I have just tried out this addon, I like it except for the fact I use minimap button bag. All the gathering info goes into the button bag and I have to keep clicking the items I gather out one at a time. Other than that a great addon.
I m having an issure where my chat is being spammed with the "Position" etc... of another guildmember's information. But just one that had the cartographer. He, however, is not being spammed with that chat.
Any thoughts? Version incompatibility? I have f25669. I do not know which version he has.
Latest release always can be found here: http://files.wowace.com
It's beta and maybe buggy, but up-to-date.
