Mapster Minimized Map without Borders/Artwork
Mapster   Updated this week!   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
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
  • Access to the WotLK Instance Maps from anywhere!

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:

Hiya, very nice mod ^^ I do have 1 problem tho.

When I have mapster on, when I want to look at another map, it instantly puts my current map back. Like if I'm in dalaran or any other map, and I try to look at durotar or sholazar basin, it'll go to it, but a split sec later, i'm back at my current map.

Since I turned it off, its stopped :S

Help please.
Its Skinners fault, get them to update the Mapster support. I cannot support any outdated 3rd party skinning addons.

It seems that the latest versions of Mapster cover up the QH stuff. There are some fixes listed from a few weeks ago below or you can go back to an older version.

Re: having issue with FogClear in zone

I have a problem with the mini version of the map. Even if the map is closed it is resizable if you drag in the wrong place. It seems like such a small chance but it happens surprisingly often that I'm just playing the game and when I open my map it's suddenly screen filling or very small. I don't use any other addon that does something with the map, so I think it's an issue with Mapster itself.

having issue with FogClear in zone

I was farming small eggs in the zone Eversong Woods where Silvermoon was located. For some reason, the FogClear module was not working correctly. I had to discover Fairbreeze Village to actually see it. Before, it was showing a land area there, but it did not list/draw the village and its surroundings until I discovered it ingame. I would have thought that I would able to see the zone map with FogClear enabled. I also still have the area south of that undiscovered and not viewable, i.e., I don't see map details, but the map outline indicates something is there. I hope this makes some sense as I do not have a screenshot.

Hey!
addon is nice but it bugs quite hard on BGs — i cant see icons of strategic poings (lumber mill, hangar etc.), and funny thing is that some are working and some are not, tried rescaling, scaling back to 100% etc — wont help. Would be nice if you will fix it cause mapster is actually only substitution for cartographer (which is officially dead now).

thanks!

Yes thats Mapster, the GroupIcons module to be exact.

I'll see about scaling the Player Blips

Can you add a keybind toggle to change between the two map sizes implemented in 3.3?

can you make it so you can scale the player/poi blips on the maps? battlefield minimap, main main and small mainmap?

that would be all the functionality i need to replace this old addon:
http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ldLocator.html
(you can take code from it if you like)

between capping and mapster it handles just about everything it did

is it mapster thats numbering and changing the colors for player blips in combat or dead?
