Cartographer

Table of Contents

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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 Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite.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).

I'm confused, are you agreeing with me or disagreeing with me?

*shrug* looking at that thread, it said the addon was dead back in January, but there have obviously been updates since then. I'll just wait a while and see what happens.

I don't doubt that the intent is for it to be dead, but it seems it'd die easier if after its death pronouncement updates stopped happening and the downloads were closed down. It seems silly to encourage people to download dead mods that will break badly sooner or later.

Like how you can't buy Windows 3.1 down at your favorite mainstream software store.

Just saying...

Hi, I was wondering why coordinates are saved with this formula

round(x*10000, 0) + round(y*10000, 0)*10001

instead of

round(x*100, 0) + round(y*100, 0)*10000

Also, why are coordinates rounded to one tenths instead of hundredths?

This makes it a bit hard to add a bunch of coordinates straight in the Lua file instead of using the ingame interface.

BUG: Most of the time in EOTS when I hover over the towers it does not show the name of the tower, only it's control status. It does sometimes show, and i don't understand the pattern.

when you look at the map, people in your party have a white circle until you click them in which case it normalizes and the color of their circle is in accordance with their class color.

I have a really annoying problem with this addon. Every time I loot something it says so in chat. It says LOOT_OPENEND? It gets really annoying. Please someone help me! It also does the same thing for Fubar 3.6 addon.

There seems to be an issue where right clicking on the map stops working if the Cartographer and Coords (by Dabus) addons are both installed. It seems to be an issue between Coords and the Look 'n' Feel. I've posted this on the Coords addon page as well.

I reinstalled everything, and cannot find for the life of me the way to change the minimap/map icon sizes (like the waypoints and poi etc...)

As you can see from the "Description" tab above, it's Cartographer's "Foglight", which is part of this addon.
