Mapster

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:

Gathering -> GatherMate (Hosted on WoWAce -> Download)
Waypoints -> TomTom
ZoneInfo -> Cromulent
Notes -> HandyNotes | HandyNotes Modules

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.

No actually, that's the very same error posted by other people before. Tellat's instructions fixed that error here.

You either haven't followed Tellat's instructions properly or you tried editing the file while WoW was active and didn't fully exit before coming back.

Exit WoW completely & then edit the file as per the instructions. Start WoW up again and relog. If you did this and you are still getting the error, not much more that can be done. Find a friend/relative, etc. able to properly edit the file on your end.

EDIT: you might want to download the updated official version just released to Curse at this link: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...s/mapster.aspx (version 1.4.1). Likely will be posted at WowInterface here later.

Please post what you changed and with what to replace it, exactly.

1) GetNumberOfDetailTiles() is not a function in Mapster.lua. Do we have to add a function somewhere?

2) I found two instances of the text "NUM_WORLDMAP_DETAIL_TILES" in Mapster.lua, but I don't know lua.

Line numbers with exact text to copy and paste are preferred. Thank you.
