- 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\

lisalila saidHoping someone can help me here..I have the latest version from wowace but when ever I transparent the map (so it has no borders) my quest items (from quest helper) disappear and so do my flight points..I can't work it out. I reinstalled version r65599 for testing purposes and it seems to work like it should (transparent the map and I can still see everything) how ever version 68896, 70829.4 and 73088 all make the items on the world map disappear when I transparent the map and obviously I would rather use a transparent map then the full version..
I've disabled all the mods, deleted them all and just had cartographer + qh running and it did the same thing so then I deleted qh and installed enhanced flight map so I could have something on the map to test with and it did the same thing so I'm assuming it's got something to do with cartographer and some setting/coding that changed between 65599 and 73088...any suggestions or ideas??

So we come once again to the constant discussion going on in the AtlasLoot mod pages. Why don't I support Cartographer?
The history is that it AtlasLoot was made with Atlas in mind, then support for Alphamap and a variant for Metamap (MetamapBLT) came later. As the mod stands now, it is really easy for cartographer to make themselves compatible with AtlasLoot, but a monumental undertaking and a pretty large re-write for me to make another variant for cartographer (which I don't have time for, nor could I support, as every update I did would have to distributed in eleventy billion versions). All that would have to happen on cartographer's end is to somehow make boss names clickable, and have that click call AtlasLoot_ShowBossLoot(). AtlasLoot would take care of finding and formatting the loot table, anchoring the frame in the right place, etc. This is exactly how Telic implemented AtlasLoot compatibility with Alphamap and he helped me a lot in making functions accessible to other mods.

Primantyrr saidbolander: glad the file worked for you. I was getting that same error after and like everyone else discovered it was the duration fuction that was messing it up. My file fixes the initial copper issue but the latest one. I had to make questhelper work the same way by editing the main.lua file and changing COPPER to COPPER_AMOUNT etc.
ckknight is doing a bang up job trying to fix these issues and until Curse.com is updated with the latest final release you can always keep up to date with his efforts where Darkfall82 mentioned.

Darkfall82 saidHave a look over at http://files.wowace.com/cat-map.html
You will find a new version (73088) which works great for me and is updated regularly and is obviously for testing. While I am at it I must say thanks to ckknight for this awesome mod.
Thanks Curse.com
Edit: For other addons that give an error.
Open up the filename.lua file with notepad and see if it includes gold, silver or copper. If so then add the following lines before any of the GOLD, SILVER or COPPER lines >>>
local GOLD = string.gsub(GOLD_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
local SILVER = string.gsub(SILVER_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
local COPPER = string.gsub(COPPER_AMOUNT, "%%d ", "");
--- End copy ---
- Found that info someplace else and it fixed Gatherer 3.1.1 error on first gold loot from corpse. The file edited for Gatherer 3.1.1 was LibSwag.lua
I have only done this with LibSwag.lua
I added the lines right under this:
-- If there's something for us to do, then build the library functions
So search for that in the LibSwag.lua file using the find funtion, paste it under there and save.
It is a temporary fix until addons are updated.

mordantkitten saidI'm having the waypoints issue after the 2.4.2 patch, too. It has the error message about the copper when it starts up, and then when I set a waypoint I do get the message that won't go away. jalbertory's fix did not work. :( Just letting you know, and I know you will fix it soon. I'm waiting eagerly, because I am spatially challenged and get lost easily, and have a very difficult time playing without my friendly arrow!
ETA: I did make the fix work...turned out I had in the Cartographer folder some copies of the folders that were outside that folder, if that makes any sense. 1 copy of the file = change takes effect.

B1aze saidIt would be nice if you could add the player's coordinates right under the mini-map instead of having to open the map to see them. Just a suggestion...

jalbertcory saidI found a temperary fix for the "FormatDurationShort" error. The error is with the timer for how long till you reach the waypoint. To fix it open ...Cartographer\Cartographer_Waypoints\Waypoints.LUA with notepad. Use the find Ctrl+F to locate "waypointFrame.tta:SetText(Abacus:FormatDurationShort(time, false, true))" and delete the whole string. You will nolonger have a timer, but at least you don't have that error frame in the middle of your screen that wont go away.

bolander saidSorry - meant this to be a regular post vrs a reply......
I have a iMac Dual and tried editing file with text edit to no avail. Also tried MSword but need to know the file type? I downloaded the -.lua file created using notepad by Primantyrr (5/14 @ 13:56) by holding the option key and clicking on the blue highlighted "here". All looks good except when I die. After hitting release spirit, I get the -----.lua 412:bad argument #4 to format (string expected, got nil). Work-a-round is to go back to body and 1st Accept, then clear error by hitting the OK.
5/15 - Shortly after resurrecting, began to see titles over mob and additional errors with add on, so trying version 73088.....(titles can be turned on/off with the V key)

Mishii saidI've found errors with this since the newest patch, and I see that you need to open the .lua file to fix it...but I apparently don't have a program to open it on my computer. Can anyone direct me on how to accomplish this? ^_^ Thanks.

tangledmyth saidI was able to fix it based on the info below.
I think the one thing that people were not noticing is this:
------------------------------
else
COPPER_ABBR = COPPER_AMOUNT:sub(1, 1):lower()
SILVER_ABBR = SILVER_AMOUNT:sub(1, 1):lower()
GOLD_ABBR = GOLD_AMOUNT:sub(1, 1):lower()
end
------------------------------
Once you change GOLD:sub, SILVER:sub and COPPER:sub to add _AMOUNT. The file works just fine.
