Mapster  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.11.0
by: Nevcairiel [More]

Mapster is a very simple world map enhacement addon, which was designed to work in conjunction with all other map addons out there. The idea to create Mapster originated from pure lack of a simplistic addon that only modifies the world map, without adding a full scale feature set.

Features

  • Map Style (Scale & Alpha)
  • Coordinates
  • Fog of War removal
  • Enhancement of the raid/party group icons

You can access the Mapster configuration menu through the new button on the world map, as shown in the screenshot.
All features (except the style) can be turned off individually if you do not need/want them.

If you're looking for a replacement to Cartographer, i also recommend the following addons:

Mapster
1.11.0 (2023-11-28)
Full Changelog Previous Releases
  • Add 10.2 FogClear data
  • Disable multi-version packages
  • Remove Classic support
    Maintaining Classic support has become a huge burden for this mod, since
    it is designed to modify the Blizzard UI, and the UI diverges even
    further between Retail and the different Classic variants with every
    update.
    Hence, I rather focus my efforts on Retail, and other mods.

Does anybody have an idea what to repalce Cartographer_Questinfo with? The new default questinfo is shurely lacking ...
Cartographer_Questinfo was my only reason for clinging to Cartographer but now both seem dead.

I don't get what you really mean by the first. The Blobs can only be drawn for one Quest, sadly. For Minimap, well thats not Mapsters terrain!
-- And I thought about the whole Mapster isn't the MiniMap thing right after I posted that, lol. I'll go bug the author of Chinchilla.

No. HandyNotes + HandyNotes_Guild are the way to go there.

Because it wasn't finished yet, and i wanted to get the 3.3 version out, will be added!

Re: wont open in combat

Mook, FlightMap works fine, you need to go into it's options to have it show Unknown Flight Paths, etc... pretty much check all it's options and it'll show you all the Flight Masters, including ones you've not visited. I didn't have to visit any with Mapster + FlightMap + TomTom myself.
-----

Add one more to the Cartographer Convert Crew, I LOVE your latest release of Mapster, it's vedy vedy nice. If I may put in a request:

1) Ability to scale Blizzard's New Quest #s on the Main Map, those things are quite the huge.

2) Ability to Enable / Disable Blizzard's New Quest #s / -All- Quest 'Areas'. Currently you can only see the quest blue area for the quest you've got highlighted, and nothing shows on the minimap.

3) I know you've noted no support for older Dungeon Maps... but is there a possibility to incorporate perhaps if a user has Atlas Installed, maybe the Atlas Maps so when we're in a Dungeon, it shows that Map instead? Smacking M is a lot easier than opening Atlas.

I'm using Mapster in the BornabeUI Compilation now and am VERY pleased with everything you've done. The simplicity of Mapster couldn't be beat. Is there a way to see Guildmates on it built-in?

Flight Master Icons

Howdy!

Another user who's jumped ship from Cartographer to Mapster + TomTom, and lovin it!

Question - does anyone know of an AddOn that can successfully put the FlightMaster icons on the Mapster map? I really, really miss this, but FlightMap apparently won't work on the Mapster WorldMap.

Oh, one other thing (damn users right? - I used SuperDuperMacro and the keybindings for Bartender4 to setup a keypress to be able to toggle the WorldMap size from big, to small, to big, etc. Adding a keybinding directly into Mapster to allow for toggling between the big and small maps would be awesome.

Excellent AddOn! I appreciate all the work you've put into it!

EDIT: Doh, please forgive my noobishness, I apparently just need to (re)talk to each of the FlightMasters before they show up on Mapster. Nvm!

I've been enjoying this addon, but would like a zoom in feature (previous Cartographer3 user). Is this something that you might consider?

Hmm I can't move the map to the bottom. It seems to be blocked somehow.

#edit: Well I can move it, but just above over the edge of the screen.

Cartographer replacement

I'm currently in the process of replacing my long time friend cartographer with something a bit better, trying out Mapster now and like what I see.

Using tom tom and gatherer there is (for now) just one feature im kindof missing from using cartographer, and thats when you open the map there is a brief indication to where your player arrow is, some flashing thingie to help you notice your current location. Do you have any plans to add a similar feature?

Edit: Oh, I found the Player Arrow Scale, @200% that helps alot =) Still, its nicer to have a small arrow and let it flash or minimap-ping like animation when you open your map, just to let your eyes naturally draw to it, but much less important to me now =)

AWESOME addon, you made my addon-break day a lot more cheerful

cursor coords

***EDIT***
the cursor coords that were showing up on my main map were from titan panel's "titan coords" addon - mapster somehow makes these coords wrong - disabled the titan mod and am now using the mapster coords with no problems
------------------------------------------------------
mapster is messing up cursor coords on the main map

i have tom tom and mapster - both with "don't show" coords selected - i presume there are coords now included with the mainmap becasue i still have coords shown on the main map (even with both tom tom and mapster coords turned off)

when i disable the mapster addon the cursor coords are correct
when i enable mapster the cursor coords are wrong

i'd use mapster coords if i could turn off the coords on the main map, but they overlap making them basically unreadable

@Ross: Mapster will only show the Instance Maps provided by Blizzard, and they currently only have maps for the WotLK Content. Sorry.

@asdf: Yes it'll of course be fixed for 3.3. Working on that right now.

I think this is it but not quite sure , I used Cartographer a while back but switched to this cause it was a lot nicer and simpler.. but every since then (I think) I don't have Old World/BC instance maps when I am in an instance and open my map. Is there anyway I can get those to show?

If not any one know a nice addon that is simple that will do just that?

Thanks.

(Sry if this is wrong addon but I think its the right one)
