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)

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!

-------------
* The History button call to QuestCompletist has been fixed.
Version 2.2.4a-40300

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.

I will be making small changes to get used to the codebase before I try anything like a major update.

Originally posted by tallulahkat there seems to be an issue that if you track a achievement, you can not untrack it. Also the tracker can not be pinned. If you pin it, it tends to jump to the right hand corner top of your screen
I get this issue with acheivements too. Clearing questguru savedvars didn't help. Only unloading questguru allows you to abandon tracking acheivements.
Apparently there is some code out there somewhere than hooks into how tooltips are displayed. Since I don't have that certain library or whatever, I was never able to reproduce the error, but I believe I have made changes that fix it as of version 2.2.1
Originally posted by Oferi I did. And they said its QuestGuru. The person at the site for Gatherer said their thing doesn't mess with formating etc. and getting the error when mousing over the quests in the tracker doesn't have anything really to do with gathering nodes I would think.
Also, in case anyone needs to know, there is an option in the QuestGuru Tracker options page to make it not hide the Blizzard tracker, just in case you need it for any reason. There's no need to deal with disabling an addon or anything.
Originally posted by Dridzt It does work like that already.
It's just not very visible when you can.
When the quest title has a yellow "?" in front you can click the title to turn the quest in.
Additionally you can complete those quests directly from the questlog.
(there will be an extra button "Complete Quest").

The first mod that appears in the errorlog is the one where you should post this.

Originally posted by boobox Do you plan to upgrade the quest tracker to be able to turn in the quests that require to click on the default tracker?
Right now I have to log out and turn of that addon then log in turn in the quest and then log back out to turn it back on.
It would be greatly appreciated.

BooBox: in case it takes a while for that functionality to be added, may I recommend Addon Control Panel? It lets you turn addons on and off from inside the game with just a UI reload.
mrobrian: Thank you so much. I was about to cry this morning, and by the time I get home from work, it's fixed. you rock!

Originally posted by Oferi Well since I cant even download 2.2 atm I wonder if you are aware of this bug with 2.1 just in case it shows up in 2.2
Edit: Out of curiosity how long does it take for a file to be able to be downloaded?

I'm not exactly sure how much memory Quest Competist takes... it doesn't show up in the top 3 addons listed when I mouse over the system menu button, and the lowest one there was at 3MB, so apparently less than 3MB. It's great for Loremaster achievements because it polls the server for a list of all the quests you've done and shows you quests you need to do, and it seems to be pretty up-to-date.
Originally posted by Peyana Just want to jump on the bandwagon and tell you how much I have come to depend on QuestGuru for quest tracking and all it's other bells and whistles. While I am extremely sad to see History not available anymore, (it was indispensable when I was working on the LoreMaster Achievement on my priest), I'm sure it took a lot of coding re-work each time there was new content added. Can you tell me how much of a memory hit I will take adding the Quest Completist add-on? And will it carry over the information in QuestGuru's past history, or do I need to start over with history? Either way, thanks for a great, indispensable add-on!
