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\

Installation Guide

Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
  - Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
  - WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
  - WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
  - StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
Start World of Warcraft
Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.

Translations

When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".

TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)

When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.

If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support

WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

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"

I have red numbers in place of drop items in the boss loot information. Not all, just some.

Cartographer needs to be removed (via the Curse Client) and then re-installed (same). This will fix the [paprikanator] issue, make Cartographer run again, and most likely fix the QuestHelper waypoint as well ("/qh cartwp" a couple of times and make sure your "/qh level X" didn't reset). I didn't get a chance to test the QH arrow out yet, but in previous updates, it did the trick. Cartographer broke my Curse Client and itself for me as well, but the above got me rolling again. ;)

What's with the funky file name on this version? (r68896) Is it supposed to be a long hex number?
