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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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

on a second thought i believe it still works, it just doesn't look good unless you have the transpareny on it all the way down. Just a thought, might give errors though.

I much agree with lightly and orca. I've looked for a add on to use in the mean time and no one ever comes close to the wonder that is cartographer hence why I check daily for the update. Really hoping this lives on to fight the good fight well into the next expansion and 20 patches from now, add the moving character pointer in Duns and what not and I think we'll be able to declare you the worlds greatest Map addon

i really hope this addon gets maintained, it's been my favorite map mod for years. though i have a feeling blizz really tossed a wrench in the workings since they totally changed their map structure.
either way, <3 this addon, so i hope it gets an update :)

1st off, TYVM for all your hard work on Cartographer & the many other mods you've created. I know I don't have the time to write one mod let alone tons of them... and for FREE no less.

2nd off, to the WoW community at large... RELAX! CkKnight & many other mod writers are writing updates as fast as possible & if nobody else has noticed it's the Holiday season. You know brother(and sisterly) love... that sort of thing.

p.s. I like the concept for Cartographer3 but, sadly I have to agree with many others that in using it, somehow it falls short of the simplicity of Cartographer2.

Let the flames begin...er, Happy Holidays!!

Gosh, I don't suppose anyone will be able to figure out you're handing out malware on that site. You've been so cunning for a Chinaman!

It pisses me off to see all the excuses from the author's side along with that sh*t of cartographer 3.

You could just not visit the page, if you don't like coming here. Addon authors don't owe you anything, so go look for something you do want to use, and quit complaining.

Does anybody have an idea what to replace Cartographer_Questinfo with? The new default questinfo is shurely lacking ... I don't need waypoints or anything just the locations where questitems dropped for other people.

Cartographer_Questinfo was my only reason for clinging to Cartographer but now both seem dead.

Just don't enable the option of "look 'n' Feel" in the addon. Works for me...

"Just before the 3.3 patch" for the last r2330 is a matter of perspective. There were lots of signs pointing towards the patch, but, as is normally the case, nothing definite.

The last r2330 was a very minor fix by me (before WoW 3.3) to resolve two load on demand issues the mod had for months in WoW 3.2 and prior. It has nothing to do with WoW 3.3. As you can see by reading the changelog for it.

Likely should have made that change much earlier than last week and/or test it on the PTR instead of live. Oh well. If a mod does not have its TOC updated or is not explicitly mentioned to be compatible with a certain WoW patch...do not assume it is compatible just because the revision date is close to when the patch is released.

I'm not a Cartographer author. I'm a beta tester. The revision I put up last week has no bearing on how dead Cartographer is. Which it apparently is as of this date.

Dosen't work with 3.3.0 patch please update. I tried everything below and an error message pops up everytime I enter the map. Also the map was 'too big' and flowed over the edges of the map. I disabled show objectives but its still broken.

Yep, this is the other problem I had with the map. So if your definition of "work" is that you can tell that the addon is enabled, then yes. The addon "works". But the addon is not actually functional to a point where somebody would benefit from enabling it.

Anyone has any clue as to when will the program authors make an update?

Does it usually take a long time after a patch to have an update?

I can't live without it

1-disable cartographer and enter in the game.
open the map and put it in the full mode!! up right coner
2-log out the game and enable the cartographer!
dont't minimize the map or the problem comes again!!
