QuestGuru

Version: 2.2.13-50001

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 2.2.13-50001 (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

mrobrian A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 156 Uploads: 1	I recently looked at QuestGuru 2.0 again and it definitely has potential. I need to remove the built-in history list, since quests are going to completely change in Cataclysm, but otherwise I have it working pretty good, though I haven't thoroughly tested it yet. I have some free time coming up this weekend, so I'll delve deeper into testing it and see what I get going. At this point, I'm thinking I will for sure re-release QuestGuru 2.0 before Cataclysm comes out. It won't have as many features as 1.x did, but it will work and it won't cause any taint. But it will not include the tracker, because it will cause taint in Cataclysm

The problem is that the QuestGuru Tracker replaces the built-in tracker, which causes taint. The only way to get around this is to modify the look of Blizzard's tracker, rather than replace it, which means completely rewriting the tracker part of the addon.

Mr Obrian, it will be sad to see QuestGuru die. Was the best Quest Log addon ever.

I appreciate the time you have spent in maintaining this addon for as long as you have and understand your frustration with Blizzard as well as some of the community on Curse.

Thank you again for your hard work and effort over the years.

I agree with this post! I am so sad to see this addon go

mrobrian A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 156 Uploads: 1	Just a note: do not use this version of QuestGuru or its tracker in Cataclysm, it will mess up quests. Blizzard is doing a new thing where you can automatically get a quest just by entering an area. The QuestGuru tracker isn't compatible with this functionality and will cause such quests to not work properly. I don't have the time or interest right now to figure out what needs to be done to my tracker to get it to work. Also, the main part of the addon still causes taint, and thanks to Blizzard's crappy code it causes more taint in more places. So don't use any part of this addon with Cataclysm if you want to have an enjoyable playing experience I might at some point revisit the 2.0 version of QuestGuru to see if I can get it working satisfactorily, but the tracker might be a complete loss Oh, and if anyone is interested in working on any part of QuestGuru themselves, go for it. I just ask that you release your version with a different enough name as to not cause confusion or anything. Or, if you don't want to support a whole new addon, you can submit your parts as "Optional Files" of QuestGuru. Last edited by mrobrian : 11-16-10 at 01:56 AM.

SannaSK A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 25 File comments: 20 Uploads: 0	oh no! i'm so sad. A friend introduced this addon to me in... perhaps march? and it's been such a wonderful addon. I love the tracker most of all. Blizz tracker is so.... basic : x and unhelpful and unmovable. and I really love that QG will give me separate panels for quests vs achievements, that I can scale down the tracker size (I think I run at like 65%?), and the color shift on the tracker is fun. and announcing to party when i'm done with a quest is great for doing dailies with guildies. no longer having to ask "how far are you on X, how far on Y." and as theultimateend pointed out, the sound effect on quest completion was fun : D. I'm going to miss this addon....

You mean there are problems caused by the tracker without using the main QuestGuru addon? That would be a big problem.

Because of the taint issues I am using only the tracker but I am missing some features of the main QG. Maybe a stripped down version of the QG 2.0 (without the history) would be the best solution at the moment. There is no other questlog replacement out there that can compete with QG (I really like the checkboxes for tracking quests).
For keeping a history of completed quests there are some other addons and you even can use the wowhead profiler to view this outside the game and in different languages.

ailurus A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 9 Uploads: 0	I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but I've been using this addon in beta and (besides the occasional glyph bug that isn't, quite frankly, a terrible hindrance), I've only encountered one problem. But, in Cataclysm, it's a big one. Some quests in Cataclysm appear, and end, without a questgiver. They just sort of "pop up" by themselves. This isn't a problem for accepting quests--QuestGuru seems to auto-accept them. I've gotten one or two that I didn't even realize I had because of this. Still, that's not the real problem. The issue is that it blocks the turn in portion completely. There's two quests in the same exact part of Vashj'ir that, without being able to finish these quests, leave you at an utter dead end for the zone. This is only a problem with the tracker--the quest log is still usable. Just thought I should let you know, if you didn't already Keep up the good work, I love this addon.

Curse children? Less than a month ago, a comment was posted on my addon that I will paraphrase: "I'm considering forming a class action lawsuit because I'm a premium curse member and I know that some of my money goes to the addon authors and I feel that I am being ignored." Go back a few pages and look for comments by Nezarrah. It's a hoot.

So I did this: http://www.titanpanel.org/changes.html which obviously hit a nerve.

I didn't need to reply as someone did it for me much later based on the change log entry: http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...tPage=4#844341 if you're curious.

So an adult will appear on Curse occasionally.

As I've stated countless times before, the taint is Blizzard's fault, they know it, other addon authors have confirmed it. The only way to get around it is to not replace the quest log, which means this addon is dead.

If you want it fixed, do it yourself. I rarely even play the game anymore and changes Blizzard has made to the quest system in Cataclysm make it so that QuestGuru and its tracker can't work properly, so as of the release of the expansion this addon is dead anyway.

I don't care if you're exposing bugs made by Blizzard of whatever the excuse. The truth of the matter here is the addon doesn't work. The game and other addons work fine without your addon. If Blizzard were to blame, the whole thing would have been collapsed.

I hope you fix it soon. If someone can find an alternative addon(s) I'd also be highly appreciated.

p.s. This is also a response to your arrogance post on curse. I didn't post there because you stated clearly you're deleting negative comments there.
