Mapster   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

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

I just saw that they are revamping the map with a built in "quest helper" on the 3.3 PTR.

A portion of this update is "splitting the map into 4 parts" (to include things like quests in the zone and quest text).

Will mapster be updated so that it doesn't break in 3.3? Please check out the PTR and do what you can to keep this addon alive. I love mapster!

Thanks

Thank you for simple. Too many addons have gone the way of huge software suites. Small feature sets let you customize your own UI with multiple mods. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the great addon. One request if possible, a transparency setting similar to Cartographer's would be wonderful.

I created two profiles for Mapster; one for nomal use, and one with the scale set really low so I can leave it open in the corner when I'm farming, so I can see Gatherer nodes. I'm wondering if there's a macroable command I can use to expedite switching between these profiles? Anyone know?

Edit: Looks like this would be easy if AceConfigCmd were called, as demonstrated here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/ace3/pages/api/ace-config-cmd-3-0/ What do you think, Nev?

Edit 2: I patched the above linked code into my copy of Mapster, and it works great, except that when I switch from mini-mode back to full size, half the map is off the screen. Is there a way to make the map store its location on the screen with the profile?

Haven't checked the BG's but I know that when I switch so I can see Outland and Azeroth(sp?) when I hover over one to click I get a ghost image of the outside ring way off my map. I think it has something to do with scaling the map.

I am also having the same problem. Questhelper notes/icons are slightly off, although they sometimes correct themselves until the next time I open the map.

I just discovered Mapster and I must say it's really the perfect alternative to Cartographer - I rather use TomTom and other specialized mods that the built-in ones. There are a few issues/question I have:

-The "Hide Map Button" option only seems to hide the Mapster button from the map, not the map button from the minimap.
-Group icons don't seem to behave like they should... Most of the time, it just shows a number on a white background, and the whole icon flashes with the class color, which is more annoying than useful. I'd like some options so that I can make them behave like the minimap icons, and then another option to add the numbers.
