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.

Can't see anyone else with this problem so I dunno if it's just me. After 4.0.3a the zone drop down menu resizes opens upwards, so if your map is centered to the middle or top, the list of zones gets cut off by the edge of the screen.

It's not a problem if mouse interaction is enabled but you can sometimes accidently drag the map out of position then and I'd prefer to keep it in the middle.

Should show what I mean. I deleted all saved variables and installed a fresh version yet it still grew upwards.

There is a new version of Mapster out for 4.0.3a now, which should give you fixed fog clear areas.

If you still experience problems with unexplored areas all jumbled up, hit the Mapster configuration, and in the FogClear section, hit the clear button.

I'm running into errors caused by LibBabble-3.0 for Mapster.

Something related to "The Maelstrom" not found.

EDIT: Nevermind, the fix really was that easy to make in the "zone" file, which was simply missing the new zone from the list.

I ran into this tonight as well, I just disabled the FogClear module and it seems to be working fine without it.

Starting with the next WoW patch (4.0.3a), every instance will have maps.

Possibly Mapster could only extract map data for instance maps when one is in an instance using provided data almost like how Atlas works... can this be done?
No! Atlas does not conflict with Mapster. They both serve a different purpose.
Atlas only has instance maps, while mapstar only has world maps.

When in an instance, just open atlas and select the instance you are in and it will give you the map of that instance.

I use the 2 myself and so do many others.

Dumb question, but...

I clicked the diagonal arrow next to the "close map" button, and now the map won't appear for my main toon, I guess it's minimized.

I can hear the sound of the map opening, but nothing on the screen.

How to restore regular map functionality?
