MapExtension
MapExtession addon displays locations for different achievement objectives and resource nodes on the alternative (not built-in) map. All data may be filtered by category and achievement objectives can be filtered by completion status.
Currently addon supports maps for Mathosia and Storm Legion. Following ahievement categories are supported: Rare mobs, Hendges, Cairns, Jumps, Puzzles, Named mobs.
Resource tracking stores positions for all resource nodes, artifacts that are displayed on minimap and Unstable Artifact Thieves. For this to function you need resource tracking buffs and Patron's Artifact Tracking on but you do not have to actually harvest those nodes.
To bring up addon window type /mapext or /mapextension in chat window or click a diamond shaped icon which can be dragged around by holding right mouse button.
Additional options available through interface:
- Check for updates - tracks versions of the addon installed by your guild members and informs you if the newer version is available.
- Rare mob notification - gives you a text message if your guild members encounteres a rare mob. For this feature to function both guild members must have this addon installed.
- Filter killed - allows rare mob notification feature to filter out messages for those rare mobs that you have already killed.
Visit Rift Utilz for online database access where you can download latest data for all points and upload your discoveries.

Posted Apr 24, 2016I hope to be able to convert entries of rare mobs and echoes between MapExtension, RareTracker and RareDar (which can be used by nkCartographer) ... will take some time though. Anyway, please keep updating the on-line map!

Check the license on this addon. Unless the developer changes this, you can't publish modified versions of this addon. Since it was abandoned for more then a year I wouldn't expect any updates.
You would probably need to write a new map addon from scratch since you can't build on it or modify it.

Hey MonoMario,
it's not a pretty solution, but works for me nonetheless. this will work for anyone hopefully..
1. find your MapExtension addons folder, which for me was in: documents->rift->addons->mapextension
2. open up the lua folder, and find main.lua - open that in notepad
3. go to line 17, or there will be a line close to there that looks exactly like this:
4. select that line and copy it, don't delete it
5. add 2 dashes in front of that line, then paste the new line directly underneath
your code there should look like:
6. on the new line, select MapExtensionUISettings.window.x, and replace that with, say 200.
7. do the same for MapExtensionUISettings.window.y
your code should now look like:
8. save the file, do not 'save as'
9. reload the addon in rift, should pop up at coordinates 200, 200 on the screen ( 0, 0 being top left )
note: sorry addon devs for my quick fix lol
