  • About Cartographer
  •  

Cartographer is a modular, lightweight, and efficient framework for manipulation of the world map. It is based on Ace2 and other libraries of the Ace 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.
  • Professions : automatically tracks herbs and minerals.
  • 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).

TO INSTALL: Put the Cartographer folder, Cartographer_Herbalism, and Cartographer_Mining into \World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\

    I was getting an error message with something to do with COPPER so after reading what they did for questhelper, i did it for this also.

    This is what jhemfl said to do for questhelper. i just changed the file name for the file in Cartographer. so i tried it for this and i haven't got the error when i log in now.

    The constants COPPER, GOLD, SILVER got replaced to COPPER_AMOUNT, GOLD_AMOUNT, SILVER_AMOUNT.

    Open up the LibAbacus-3.0.lua file in notepad in the Cartographer\libs\LibAbacus-3.0 folder and use Ctrl+H (replace) and replace all the pre-existing constants. Example: Replace COPPER with COPPER_AMOUNT.

    Im having issues with this addon after I downloaded the latest patch. Can you please update?

    to ugotdie----Have you tried going to the addons icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen when you go to select a character to play?

    Broken with Today's (13 May 2008) patch.

    I just downloaded the latest patch from WoW and now I am having troubles with cartographer went through all the steps for issues and still have a problem with the waypoint thing I disable it and enable it and still there is an issue I know it is no biggie but it is annoying

  • May 12, 2008, 01:08AM (1 day, 22 hours ago)

    hey i downloaded cartographer andextracted and everything but in gameplay it doesnt do anything. how do i start it and use it?

  • May 11, 2008, 04:50PM (2 days, 7 hours ago)

    i have issues with my placed map markers not showing after i enter the coordinates

  • May 11, 2008, 08:27AM (2 days, 15 hours ago)

    For some time now when I open the map in an instance it displays the zone map, not the instance map. I googled the issue an saw folks dealing with it last year. There was a time not long ago it worked for me, though. Any idea what might be going on?

    I currently have version r73088 installed, though its happened in older versions.

    I don't have BigWigs but I am getting the minimapbutton glitch too. After a few moments it separates the "button" from it's "ring"... highly annoying issue on an otherwise nice addon.

  • May 8, 2008, 08:02PM (5 days, 4 hours ago)

    thank you, I went and hopefully have gotten it fixed. =)

    Misty, go to wowace.com & get the mining node portion of it. Instead of being heavy on resources with things you dont need its simply a seperate download than cartographer.

  • May 8, 2008, 04:41PM (5 days, 7 hours ago)

    Nut sure the overall "cause," but it turns out with BigWigs enabled MinimapButtonBag wasn't working quite right, but was basically fixing itself a couple seconds after loading (at least appearance wise, not sure about running/system resources/whatever else.)

    With the newest cartographer it wasnt working at all, but then I tried disabling Bigwigs and they (latest cartographer & minimapbuttonbag) worked together fine.

    So maybe Bigwigs is glitched & Cartographer is causing problems with that? or maybe none of them are entirely compatible atm? not really too sure... *head explodes*

    It screws up the Zone Map, it makes the whole thing blank. :(

    I know it Cartographer as the Zone Map works normally if I turn it off.

    this add-on sucks the fat one, how the hell can a fresh down load of it not have the prof for mining?. I have my find minerals up and everything so I don't get it, I don't feel it is user friendly.

  • May 6, 2008, 08:05PM (1 week ago)

    It works, just screws up MinimapButtonBag if you use it.

  • May 5, 2008, 02:03AM (1 week, 1 day ago)

    is this working? i would love it. i'm new to wow and think this looks like a great program. however i don't know anything about addons and i dont want to crash anything

  • May 2, 2008, 08:09PM (1 week, 4 days ago)

    I dl'd the newest version & it caused major problems with another mod, MinimapButtonBag. Certain buttons refuse to be hidden in the mod, & they cant even be moved or clicked. I had to downgrade all the way to 59076.8 to get it working again... even though i had a much more recent version before updating that worked fine...

  • April 29, 2008, 06:47AM (2 weeks ago)

    Tried to update today (r70829.4) and it made the game pause every 5 seconds for about 2 seconds. Reinstalled the previous version and the pausing/freezing stopped.

    Also, as a side note, I have to take off foglight to avoid the 'Zone Map' going blank. Had this error for a while but I would one day like to re-enable foglight.

    Can anyone please tell me how to "Verify your WoW Installation Path"
    I have no idea what this means

  • April 30, 2008, 10:16PM (1 week, 6 days ago)

    It means "Check to make sure your game is installed in the location we suggest, and if you have installed it somewhere else then put the files there"
