QuestGuru

Version: 2.2.14-50300

by: Gregity, mrobrian

QuestGuru is a Quest Log enhancer.

Updated for Patch 5.0.4 (Pre-Mists of Panderia patch)

Features include:
- Enhanced quest display in the log
- Built-in announcer with customizable messages
- Quest progress sounds
- Custom Tracker which can be used independantly of QuestGuru, or in conjunction for full functionality
- Localization ability. Submit yours!

**New & Updated Localizations
If you have a translation, please feel free to upload it on the Optional Files tab and send me a PM. Likewise if you have an update to one, please PM me.

F A Q
====================
Q. How do I post a Bug Report?
A. Go to www.wowinterface.com and search for QuestGuru. Go to the AddOn and on the right side there is a selection called "Bugs" click on that. You will need to be signed in to WoW Interface to create a bug report.
Note:
Please include the version of QuestGuru you are using and copy/paste the error message you receive. Please describe what you were doing when the error happened. This will help tremendously.

Q. How do I turn on auto-tracking of quests?
A. Look in the options for the game itself, not QuestGuru. Under Objectives there are options to set when to track quests. QuestGuru does not duplicate these settings in its own options as it could become problematic and it is not necessary to duplicate options already available.

Q. Where can I find a version compatible with WoW patch x?
A. QuestGuru is supported for the current Expansion and Patch level running on the live servers. PTR versions may be supported as Alpha or Beta releases, but I offer no guarantee.

QuestGuru ChangeLog
===================
Version 2.2.14-50300 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.15-50300 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* TOC change for patch 5.3
* Fixed a problem in QGT_Achievements that caused the Tracker to fail (Tracker)
* Big thanks to CMTitan who provided code to handle Scenarios that came out with MoP (Tracker)

Version 2.2.13-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Added a new sound option to announce (Thank you Drizt)
* Added a snippet of code to fix a rare QuestLog layout problem. Drizt ran into this again in MoP & kindly shared his fix for the issue.
* Fixed a few more places where party handling was changed in MoP/Patch 5.0.4.
* Changed the Debug message for the objectives not returning data to be sensitive to the debug setting.

Version 1.5.14-50001 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Fixed another place where party handling was changed in MoP/Patch 5.0.4.

Version 2.2.12-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Blizzard API GetQuestLogLeaderBoard is failing to return information for the identified objective & quest on some quests.
I changed the code to look for no information return and simply bypass processing for that objective after dumping some info into the chatlog.
I've added a slashcommand to invoke the routine at will: "/qg testui1"
For me, it's failing on "Shadow Wardens" and perhaps that's because the world tree marks are currency, not "items".
If the quest is an event quest (get 150 marks) then the type of quest should be event and the numObjectives should be zero.

Version 2.2.11-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Error being reported by some @ line 410 of QuestGuru.lua. Added some diagnostic code when text == nil

Version 2.2.10-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Removed some leftover diagnostic messages

Version 1.5.13-50001 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Fixed a problem with the Achievement Tracking

Version 2.2.9-50001 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.12-50001 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Both - Updated several items for compatability with Mists of Panderia (Patch 5.0.x)

Version 2.2.7-40300 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.10-40300 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Latest revision of the Russian localization now incorporated. Thank you again StingerSoft!
* Removed some unused code. Frame "QG_QuestLogTitleMenu"
* Fixed the SetBindings problem that would cause all bindings to occassionally get lost.

Version 2.2.6-40300 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.9-40300 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Made several localization changes. Enabled $substitution variables in announcer to be localized as well.
* Incorporated a brand new localization for Chinese(zhCN). Credit to Honooon with many thanks.
* Incorporated an updated localization for Russian(ruRU). Credit to StingerSoft with many thanks also.
* Updated all of the localizations (even the new ones) to synchronize variable names
* I based the updates upon the default (American) localization file.
* I removed variables that were no longer in the base localization file (most moved to the QuestGuru_Tracer localization)
* and added missing variables (in American)
* We now have localizations for German, French, Russian, and Chinese (zhCN & zhTW).
* I would really appreciate it if speakers of those languages sent me updates to them.
* There are some new variables in the localizations that need translation!

Version 2.2.5-40300
-------------
* The History button call to QuestCompletist has been fixed.

Version 2.2.4a-40300
-------------
* Refixed an issue in QuestGuru_Tracker\QGT_Quests.lua where SaveBindings sometimes received an invalid value because GetCurrentBindingSet() would return other than nil, 1, or 2.

Version 2.2.4-40300
-------------
* Fixed the TOC for 4.3 cata
* MrObrien has asked that somebody pickup and work on the QuestGuru so I will try and do some updates as I can't play without this mod.
Addon home is www.wowinterface.com and you can PM me there if you like. Gregity is the name.
I will be making small changes to get used to the codebase before I try anything like a major update.
* Fixed an issue in QuestGuru_Tracker/QGT_Quests.lua where SaveBindings sometimes received an invalid value because GetCurrentBindingSet() would return nil
* No other new information has been added (yet).

Version 2.2.3
-------------
* Fixes for when scrolling the quest log
* The quest log frame will now remember where it was when moved

Version 2.2.2
-------------
* Tracker achievement bug fixes and flashing for completed remote quests

Version 2.2.1
-------------
* Tracker bug fix that was causing game crashes

Version 2.2
-----------
* Added quest levels to NPC dialogs where possible
* Added "Sound\\Creature\\Peasant\\PeasantWhat3.wav" to the list of sound options

Version 2.1
-----------
* Removed the History, I recommend using Quest Completist
* Fixes for Cataclysm
* Special thanks to Dridzy and Cartman for their invaluable contributions

Version 2.0 Beta 2
------------------
* QuestGuru now modifies the quest log to add quest level and checkboxes for tracking quests (like previous versions of QuestGuru)

Version 2.0 Beta 1
------------------
* Incorporated History function, QuestGuru History is no longer a separate module
* QuestGuru is now a modification of the built-in quest log, rather than a replacement
* History is no longer stored on your computer but is retrieved from the server instead
* Removed some features that were causing problems and slimmed down the addon to reduce memory usage
* Upgraded to ChatThrottleLib v21

A agree, a more visible thing would be a great step forward. But I'm sure MrObrian will implement something better. The questionmark is only a quick fix I made to get the tracker working.

Originally posted by Cacheelma Add to that the various feature the official tracker has such as showing/hiding quests based on the zone you're in, sorting quests by difficulty/proximity/manual/etc, and quest numbering in conjunction with the quest guide on the map. I find them to be very useful.[/b]

Does the Blizzard tracker have all these features? I only used it for about 3 days after patch 4.0.3a until the QG tracker was working again as the Blizzard crap is not resizeable and moveable.
Hiding zones is just a mouseclick with QG so that's already there.
Sorting by difficulty is not that important as the colors and quest levels show that information.
For the proximity and numbering thing there's a Questhelper lite that combines the Blizzard quest helper features with the waypoint system of Questhelper.

I did this quest yesterday and it showed the questionmark correctly in the tracker. Every completeable quest I found so far behaved as it should.
Did you have the complete quest button in the log? As QG only enhances the log the button should be there. If it isn't there there is something wrong but most likely not with QG.

Re: Another mass reply

Originally posted by mrobrian
Completing quests from the tracker, while possible, is not always highly noticeable. I am considering making my tracker just a modification of Blizzard's (to look as close to my current one as possible) that way all of their crazy stuff will work just fine.

If I may make a suggestion?
While I would like the quest completion notification from the tracker to be more "in your face" as the default one because I can see it better and know it's done, I realize there are those who like the more subtle approach of your mod. What about a selectable option to allow the more subtle approach, and the in your face approach? Or even an option for something in between. Like not quite as big as the one in the default tracker, but a little bigger, maybe even as simple as a flashing/glowing/pulsing/whatever border around the quest that says "I'm done, click me!". Well not literally saying that but you get the idea. So maybe 3 options? Default blizzard method, extremely subtle method, and flashy border method?

I felt lost without your tracker when I had to turn it off because of the turn-in on the road feature. I love the cleaner style than the default tracker. But yeah, I agree that the current method is harder to see when it's time to turn something in from the road, and I've missed a few.

Re: Quest log

QuestGuru no longer stores that information. The built-in Blizzard stuff will show you where to go to turn in a quest, or you can use an addon like Quest Helper. The QuestGuru 2.x series is basically a "lite" version of QuestGuru 1.x and won't be as feature rich, but is much more stable.

I don't know if this has been asked, and i apologize ahead of time if it was, but right now i'm currently running 2.2.1 ver of QG and the latest ver of QuestCompletist (QC). I've noticed that QG no longer gives the "blue" coords or the npc that originally gave the quest. My question is could you please tell me if there is something that I haven't activated in the QG options or is the issue with me running QC as well or was that function taken out of QG all together. If it's the latter of the three will you be bringing it back it was a great function of the addon.

Thanx

Here's a snippet from what the author has posted earlier on:

"I recommend Quest Completist if you want a list of all quests (completed and not) or look into other addons that keep history. I'm focusing more on the tracker and enhancing the quest log now."

Please do not try to use QuestGuru_History with QuestGuru 2.x, they are not compatible and you will get errors.

Is it still possible to override the window's default location by one I set manually? If so, I'd really appreciate it if you could get this option back in. __________________ Just remember... if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

Really? Because I don't seem to notice anything different. That quest I mentioned can indeed be completed on-the-fly, or you can also go back to the npc like normal. I did it with Questguru tracker on so I didn't know and went back to the npc. Maybe I missed it, but then again maybe it should be more noticeable, don't you think? After all, if you don't know the quest can be completed on-the-fly (for whatever reasons), the whole system is poitnless.

Not that it matter, though. I'm quite happy with using questguru just for the log and the sound it makes during quests/quest completion. So I'm thankful for that.

Keep up the good work, though.
