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

* 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.

i have sometimes the problem that the quest test window is empty.. (the frame on the right).. so i have to reload the ui to get the quest descriptions back...? (im using mobmap as additional quest addon)
Originally posted by Cartman666 What exactly happens? Is onyl the questionmark in the tracker not shown? Are you able to complete those quests by clicking the button in the questlog?
I never had issues with the autoquest feature throughout the Cataclysm zones, everything worked fine, as soon as the quest was complete I saw the questionmark in the tracker and could open the complete windows by clicking the quest.
Well, perhaps I'm a dimbulb, perhaps not. <
But I rejoiced to see to QG was back, and had the means to auto-complete quests, so I upgraded and reactivated it. I tested it in the Deadmines and killed the foreman, there was the "?" to click on. I did so, quest window pops up, I complete, win.
...but no follow-up quest for the carpenter.
I had to run back to Horatio to pick it up. Did so, killed the carpenter, clicked the "?", competed...
...no follow-up here either.
Out of curiosity, I retraced back to Horatio to see if he DID have another quest for me, and he did indeed.
So...is there some setting in QG I'm missing that preventing these auto-quests from chaining?
EDIT: Then again, someone please refresh my memory.
In Deadmines, does the next quest in the chain pop up immediately after completing the previous, or do I have to proceed further in after each boss to get them to appear?
If it's the latter, then I am TRULY a dimbulb and you can ignore my ramblings.
Note that the tracked quests are no longer separate between QuestGuru and the Blizzard UI in the modified version above, but I have yet to have a crash while using my modified source.

Thanks, that is very helpful.
Any idea on why the main tracker for quests is broken too? I noticed I can't select/deselect groups of quests for a zone with the single checkbox
I am having the same issue, I cannot turn in the new "Remote quests" No question mark or anything, i have to unload turn in and reload. Is there a LUA fix?
Make sure you are using the latest version of QuestGuru. It's not a big, in your face, question mark button, it's just a "(?)" next to a quest. Also, if you find the QuestGuru tracker won't turn it in for some reason, just open the options, uncheck the option to hide Blizzard's tracker, and then you can use theirs.

I just tested Deadmines. After each quest you just have to proceed further into the dungeon to automatically be given the next one. No need to run all the way back each time.

Originally posted by Kalec In the quest log, when you scroll up/down. it looks like the quests are shifting.
I'm getting this too. Not only will the quests shift, but the numbers before the quests will actually move as up and down and well.
Plus the little red min/max button for the default tracker doesn't disappear. When I select the option to show/hide the tracker, the quests will show/hide properly but that little button won't disappear... I've even tried re-logging and restarting wow but that tiny (and annoying) button refusing to leave the screen. >.<''
I had to revert to the 1.5.1 version because of the funky quest log when I scroll using the mouse wheel. The moving quests is very... distracting/unnerving to look at. xD
On a side note... I never experienced any problems with the achievement tracker. I used it occasionally, and seemed fine to me. ^_^

yes i get this also. as you can see by the photo. and all i did was move the L down.
as you can see. i had "the breath of cenarius" of what ticked the main part. "blackrock depths" wbut when i move the tracker of L down yuo can see it sticks.
going to see the new update.
ps i see the update fixed the achment tracking. but the quest log is messed up. i track a pack. but when i close and open the log its unticked. but still showing as tracked on the tracker.
