Cartographer

Is it normal to have a long delay between moving the map screen and the actual movement to occur? This started happening to me recently when I try to reposition the map screen within my main screen the game freezes and after several long moments the map moves, however it moves precisely to where the cursor is currently, regardless of whether or not I released the mouse button somewhere else. Also I noticed the map seems to like to snap to the edge of the screen sometimes, is there a way to disable this?

Please update Cartographer addon for 3.2.2 version patch :((

@Salverdin, you saved my life =)
Your Comment works an for alle Germans:

1.) Hol dir die neueste und zu letzt entwickelte Cartographer Version unter:
---> http://www.wowace.com/addons/cartographer/
1.1.) Installiert Sie in den WoW-AddOns-Ordner ganz normal und wie gewohnt

2.) Hol dir die neueste Mapster Version unter:
---> http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/mapster.aspx
2.1) Installiert Sie in den WoW-AddOns-Ordner ganz normal und wie gewohnt

3.) Lösche den Ordner "Cartographer_LookNFeel" aus dem WoW-AddOns-Ordner

4.) Nun ein etwas schwierigerer Teil: Wechsele im WoW-AddOns-Ordner in den Ordner "Cartographer" und öffne die "Cartographer.lua" mit einem Texteditor. Lösche alle Zeilen beginnend mit Zeile 371 bis einschliesslich Zeile 442. Nun lösche noch die einzelnen Zeilen 1070 und auch Zeile 1074 (Müssten "End"-Tags sein).

5.) Wechsele in den Ordner "Cartographer_Notes" und öffne die Datei "Notes.lua" mit einem Texteditor. Suche die Zeile 1810 oder nach dem String "from: frame:SetFrameLevel(9)". Diesen kompletten String tauschen wir nun durch "frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 20)" aus.
Wechsele nun ans komplette Ende dieses Quellcodes und füge das hier ans Ende des Codes ein:
function Cartographer_Notes:PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD(...)
rotateMinimap = GetCVar("rotateMinimap") == "1"
end

Abspeichern nicht vergessen und fertig. Bei mir hat das funktioniert. WUNDERBAR. Eins der besten AddOns, wie ich finde.

Meine Anführungszeichen lasst ihr natürlich weg, das hab ich nur der Übersichtlichkeit halber gemacht.

OK, I didn't follow any fixes but I did go under my addons on the log in page, and all you have to do is unlick "Look N' Feel" and there have been no further problems. You can load the outdated addons, enable Cartographer, and then unclick Look N' Feel. That's the only part of Cartographer that I can see that interferes with WoW since the 3.3 patch. No need to update. Great add-on, one of the most helpful I've found.

I followed Elrick's fixes like he said in this description below and my cartographer works like a champ. I highly recommend that people start applying this fix if they want to continue using cartographer.

==============================================
Cartographer works, you just have to make a few.. adjustments!
==============================================
As previously stated, these fixes are:

1. install the latest cart v2 from the wowace site:
http://www.wowace.com/addons/cartographer/
2. install Mapster http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/mapster.aspx
3. completely delete the Cartographer_LookNFeel component in the addon folder
4. now for the tricky part, edit Cartographer\Cartographer.lua and delete or comment out lines 371 through 442, 1070, and 1074.
5. Now, edit Cartographer_Notes\Notes.lua and change line 1810 from: frame:SetFrameLevel(9)
To:
frame:SetFrameLevel(WorldMapFrame:GetFrameLevel() + 20)
And at the end of the file add these lines:

function Cartographer_Notes:PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD(...)
rotateMinimap = GetCVar("rotateMinimap") == "1"
end


load the game and there you have it, worldmap using Mapster, with all the quest info and other stuff from Cartographer still functioning normally, and the new "show quest objective" working properly.

Also turn off the Cartographer coordinates component and use the Mapster one

THANK YOU!
"Look'n'feel" was completely messing up my map. The big issue for me was that the pointer telling me where I am was about 1100 yards off from where I really was. This totally fixes it.

Will this disable the topographic terrain maps that Cart uses? That's the reason I haven't switched to something else...

I've loved this little slice of paradise for years. It was def in the top 3 addons of all-time IMHO. It would seem that many share my opinion. That said, what a fickle bunch we are. So many comments start with such glowing praise and then switch into QQ mode. A lot of blind conclusion leaping seems to be taking place about "refusing" to update or "too lazy" to update. I don't know Adam from Eve on the situation, but what if... and stay with me... just what if maybe the lead dev actually has some RL stuff going on that make it impossible for him/her to update currently, but they love the project and don't want to give it up because they intend to come back to it as soon as humanly feasible? Heaven forbid that they have cancer or something, and they are currently undergoing chemo treatments. That would certainly be an excusable reason. And if I were that dev, and I got myself healthy again and sat down to finally update this... I'd not do it after reading all this backstabbing. The facts are simple: It's not being updated at this time, and to my knowledge, any and all assumptions as to why are guesswork at best. So before you call someone lazy for not updating, what have YOU done? Have you taken hours upon hours of your time to learn code? If you know code, have you taken your time to create a similar addon? No? Then YOU must be lazy as well. See, it's a two-way street. So my advice to all is simple... quit acting like a bunch of 2 year olds who just had their bottle taken away. Quit crying, grow up, sack up, and try and limit your daily anonymous flaming.

Of course, this is a prime example of irony. ;-) At least it was positive, supportive irony.

Very Nicely stated. To add my two cents - Pony up or Shut up - Too many user comments here seem to imply a right to use Cartographer without a responsibility to see it maintained. I would add that maybe CK just got tired of spending countless hours doing code only to have whiny users - who are free loading off his work - complain about this or that without an honest attempt to actually assist a solution.
I Love Cartographer and truly hope that it is updated in the future. As someone who has no aptitude for writing code, I am not in a position to update the software, so I am actually donating -
(Yes, instead of complaining about the Donate button, I'm going to USE it)

CK has made it clear that is no planned update, but I'm willing to bet 15$ that if I and ten or twenty other people do the same, there is a chance that an update would become a higher priority. If not, that $15 is still a small price for the amount of use I get out of Cartographer.
So my point remains, Pony Up or Shut Up. Oh, and yeah the disabling of Look n Feel works beautifully. Still some glitches, but considering that there hasn't been a major update in over a year - no complaints. It is a testament to the superior programing Ckknight, Arrowmaster, and the other authors put into this. For that I am thankful because if Cartographer was truly broken I'd be left without anything decent.

This whole thing is busted. It doesn't work at all with the new patch, and they've probably screwed over thousands of donators... They simply refuse to work on it.

the mod has been abandoned, yet the donate button is still available.

ROFL

I miss this addon more than any other I use. And the way it looks, I'm not the only one.
One of the most popular WoW addons abandoned. I feel sorry for those who donated to this just to have the project abandoned.
Update it please or turn it over to someone who will.

it's a damn shame you guys arn't going to work on Cartographer anymore. one of my favorite addons in wow, and i it's unusable now(for me atleast) because it's always messing up.

Hey, guys.When I pull up the map, my icon is shown way off to one side, along with a few other indicators on the map. Is there something I can do to fix this?

This was THE best map addon. The transparency aspect was genius as well as many other features. Seriously this was the best map addon, and there are none at the moment that compare.

This is some garbage.. a kick @$$ addon not being updated cause the developers are to douchy to do anything with it .. Carbonite is a piece of crap. I enjoyed using Cartographer made my map tool and everything else that went along with it easier.. Sad that all those people who donate, donated to this.. wow way to set people who support you.. Lets put a Donate button on my site and promise nothing!! :D Maybe you should take all these people's advice and either update or turn it over to someone else.

It's sad to see such a nice add-on go to complete ****. You should take the donate button off as some people may be under the impression that their paying for an updated quality add-on (obviously not the case). If you're not going to update the add-on then at least hand it over to some one who can and will? I just don't wanna see this add-on go to waste.

ANYONE has the ability to learn how to program and rewrite the hundreds (thousands?) of lines of lua code that make up Cartographer. Even though CK does not actively support Cartographer any more (and hasn't for at least a year), he and the others who decided to help with Cartographer would probably be thrilled if one or more skilled programmers decided to pitch in and rewrite the base libraries to make Cartographer fully compatible with the current patch of WoW

Then again even if such activity was to be done. Who says in the end they'll refuse the code to be used. They have stated that they won't release it. And that it will stay abandoned. This clearly says that even if that happened. They still most likely wouldn't allow it.

Really nice addon..
Too bad the authors are too lazy to just fix it so it would work with the new patches.. you fat bastards!
