World of Warcraft Game

Cartographer

This addon works again with the latest patch since version 2.3.

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 number of men the instance is made for (e.g. 5-man, 40-man).

There is a new "experimental" version of Cartographer, called Cartographer3, at http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/12701/


If you are experiencing any issues

If you are having issues related to POI's (the blue dots) please back-up and delete or rename your WTF folder (or just the cartographer 'account' database, WTF\Account\"username"\SavedVariables\Cartographer.lua)
Professions: A lot of people have been asking about professions. Whilst I will not guarantee anything, I will try to work on a full professions map system for Cartographer 2.5
Is the addon showing up as "Out of Date" and you're using Windows Vista?
The addon directory seems to have been moved for people on Vista. Apparently it's in "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft". If you update plugins in the old directory, it just plain won't notice! At all! And you'll get errors. Update it in the new location.

    (also posting this as a ticket)

    r2281, updated standalone libs, USEng client/server (the issue was also present in r2277).

    Cartographer_Notes is unable to make notes in Dalaran (new Northrend city) in either the main part or The Underbelly. CTRL-rightclick and the normal pop-up box ("Create a new note") does not appear at any time.

    Can create notes properly in all other Northrend zones I've tried; only Dalaran has the issue.

    Something in the latest version here broke notes - I get all question marks and none of the icon packs load. I reverted back to the r2272 version and it's fine.

    Is everyone still getting question marks for note icons? I had the Icon packs installed but none seem to work.
