Well, I installed cartographer a while ago, and now with WOTLK I notice that I can't see Wintergrasp's zone map with Cartographer installed. I unninstalled it and it worked fine then, but then I reinstalled and I couldn't see it again. Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Everytime you update an addon, you must remove the old verison of it fom your Addons folder, and then place the new one in. Did you do this?

Not true... I have only totally uninstalled one addon and that was due to a major update and the suthor made it very clear to do so.... You almost never need to remove the old addon. Unless you are having issues just install right on top. Now the Cartographer issue is a known issue and try updating either manually or via the Curse client. No need to remove the old version unless the author specifically requires it.

Well, I install addons using Curse Client most times, and it works fine. This version of Cartographer is just screwing my map up :S

So if you disable Cartographer and nothing else your maps work fine? If so it may be another addon not playing nice with Cart. It may be trying to do the same thing on top of each other. If you can list your addons we may be able to eliminate and point you in the right direction.

My addons are :

-Cartographer

-QuestHelper

-Omen Threat Meter

-Atlas Loot Enhanced

-X-Perl Unite Frames

-Auctioneer

-Titan Panel

-TomTom

-DamageMeters

-LightHeaded

-That !Swatter thing that comes with Auctioneer.

You shouldnt need TomTom if you have Cartographer.

Is there any problem with this addons, does anything conflict with Cartographer? And I know that Davidjohn but I prefer disabling cartographer's waypoints and using TomTom instead.

Please help me guys!

Are you using any Cartographer plugins that aren't distributed with the Cartographer package? If so, make sure you check to see if the have been updated.

So if you disabled all of the addons listed your map works fine? Do you have that funky Cartographer3 or the better ;) Cartographer. They are two seperate versions taht are being developed independently of each other. Cart3 is not an updated Cart but a different addon (same developer).

No, I only need to disable Cartographer so the maps work fine.

And this is Cartographer and not Cartographer3 (which I have had isssues with)? How about if only Cartographer is running and all other addons are disabled.

What I'm trying to determine is if it is more than one addon not playing nice toghether. If all else fails you can do an uninstall but I have never had to do that no matter how bad an addon is screwed up.

If you absolutely have to uninstall it is more than just deleting the addon folder (it starts with that) you will need to remove all the saved variables that are associated with that addon. The easiest and most complete method is to navigate to the WTF folder and do a search in the WTF folder. You need to make sure that the 'search subfolders' is checked. You search for the addon name: "Cartog" should be enough. You should get only 2 files, one a .lua and the other a .lua.bak just delete both. Now you have uninstalled that addon. The reason that you delete all the saved variable is if you caused the problem with a setting then it will not be duplicated upon reinstall.

Please keep us informed if this issue is resolved :) GL

Hmm I tried to disable all of my addons and it didn't work. I deleted the .luka and the .lua.bak files and I didn't get any result once again :S

Hum, hey, seems like I deleted the wrong .lua and .lua.bak files, because now I deleted the right ones and it works!! Thank you sooo much!!!

Sorry for the TRIPLE post, but I logged off, happy that cartographer worked, and now I logged in again, and I can't see Wintergrasp's zone map again... :S So, I closed the game and deleted those .lua and .lua.bak files again, and I can see Wintergrasp's zone map again. It's odd, I don't wanna be deleting the .lua and .lua.bak files every time I log in :S

Quadruple post, sorry but is the best way to bump this up. I discovered the reason why Wintergrasp doesn't appear in the map. There's some sort of Transparency problem with wintergrasp, when I go to the Look N' Feel options and set the Transparency to 0, Wintergrasp disappears. I think I'll need to contact the addon author to fix this issue.

Ok so let me ask this first. Do you have the foglight option enabled? If ynot all you will see is a somewhat blank map because you have not explored the area yet. This is the correct behavior and you can try either enabling or disabling the setting.

Well questhelper was working fine for me.

Then when i went to my friends house.

I got on and it didn't show the arrow showing me where to go.

So i went home, thinking it was just his computer.

But when i got home it still wasn't working.

So i uninstalled the curse client and the questhelper addon.

Then i reinstalled everything.

But still questhelper doesn't work.

It doesn't even show up in the curse client.

So some help please?

What about creating your own thread and not spamming anyone else's one? Did you think about that?

I think you're not understanding, what I mean is if I set Cartographer's transparency to 0, and I'm seeing Wintergrasp's map, it's  transparent, I mean if I open it in Wintergrasp' with transparency 0 I can still see my character because there's nothing there. Can you please contact the addon author about this transparency bug in Cartographer? I tried, but AbydosLanti won't answer me :S

Okay this is the first time i have even been on the fourms, so i didn't know about creating your own threads thank you.

Next time don't be such an ass.
