QuestRouterLite

Version: 0.9.4

by: Lyncks [More]

QuestRouterLite was inspired by addons like TourGuide, QuestHelper, and Carbonite. With the release of 3.3 and specifically Points of Interest for quests, it is now possible to shed libraries like LightHeaded, if all you want is simple quest routing.

QuestRouterLite only uses Blizzard-provided information, so the locations are accurate, and there's virtually no additional memory use.

If you want to simply and cleanly go from one quest to another, QuestRouterLite is your addon.

Update Modes
When I started this addon I tried to make something comparable to QuestHelper or Carbonite, only using the quest events - turns out this isn't really possible.

So now QuestRouterLite has two major modes. You can either run without the timed updates and use only the quest events, or use periodic updates much like the other major questing addons. Timed updates are on by default, as I believe this is closer to my goal and gives a smoother and more accurate experience. If you want to turn them off, you can. The updating itself is so minimal that even with this on, it barely chews any cycles.

Current Version
I have managed to get blobs tracking with the minimap - however, due to the way Blizzard handles the blob, it is a rather hacked method. Because of this, swapping between the world and minimap is currently glitchy, and without a masking feature in the WoW API, the blobs run off the minimap. It may be impossible to fix this, but I will keep trying. Use of the minimap blobs is at your discretion - and is off by default.

Please report any bugs, issues, or feature requests.

TomTom Required
While there is a feature that will automatically select the closest quest on your map, the addon relies on TomTom to provide easy navigation to the next quest.

You can get TomTom here: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...32-TomTom.html

Current Features

Shows you the closest quest
Automatic adding of quest to tracker
Automatic updates on tracking changes
Selects the quest in your map and watch frame
POIs on the minimap (can right-click to track)
Blobs on the minimap
Objective information on minimap tooltips
Cross-zone closest quest
Option to toggle including completed and in progress quests
Option to only search currently tracked quests
Option to skip closest quest
Option to use quest tracker sorting
Optional timed updating (mostly for multi-blob quests)
Minimally invasive (doesn't remove all TomTom or Astrolabe points)

Upcoming Features

Optional optimized quest pathing
Suggestions?

Known Issues

Minimap blobs are only correct at most zoomed minimap distance
Can get stuck on quests whose POI remains at the questgiver even if it isn't completed - you can temporarily skip the quest to avoid this

Usage
Install and go.

The TomTom arrow will update to show the direction to the closest quest after major quest events (getting a new quest, completing an objective, etc.)
The closest quest will also be selected in the quest frame on the World Map, and added to the quest tracker.

/qrl - Brings up the options screen.
/qrl force - Forces an update.
/qrl skip - Skips the current closest quest.
/qrl clear - Clears the skipped quest.

0.9.4
Fixed the map zooming errors
Now disabled in instanced areas

0.9.3
Not using current zone only should be fixed now
Should include minimap icons, waypoints and all
Fixed error when clicking on minimap POI

0.9.2
Added option to toggle adding closest quest to tracker
Fixed an occasional error when zoning instances

0.9.1
Fixed the minimap blob flickering
Added button highlighting to the watch frame

0.9
Option to use the top quest in the tracker as "closest" to use tracker sorting

Fixed weirdness with the minimap icons

0.7.1
Fixed displaying all quest blobs, it's also now correct

0.7
Reduced the wait time after quest progress to 1 second to improve responsive feel
This worked fine in my testing, but if it causes problems for anyone, let me know

* Use /clear to clear the skipped quest

This really shouldn't be a whole lot heavier if you want to just leave it on, addon is light as it is

Fixed TomTom points being put on the minimap as well as POIs

(back to the old fashioned way)

It's impossible for any addon (including this one) without a predetermined questing circuit to magically avoid fatigue areas. I'd suggest using your discretion when following the arrow...

There's an option to use the order of the Blizzard quest tracker, but if that option is off then no, the order will have no bearing on QuestRouterLite.

I really don't know what could be doing that. I don't even have the RemoveQuestWatch() function anywhere in the code. Do you have Include Completed quests on?

Is that option part of QLR or part of the tracker's new dropdown options? If it's the tracker drop down should that be left at "manual"? I have "include completed quests" checked.

I did a sarch for RemoveQuestWatch() function in all of my addons running - Notepad++ didn't find it anywhere.

EDIT: I understand, ignore above. The default tracker, doesn't really remove completed quests, but changes the quest to a completed state with the objectives removed.

Taint issues

Not that this is terribly bothersome, but it looks like there's a taint issue with the WorldMapBlobFrame. I can't be sure (other than combat) what specifically triggered it. I did not have my world map open at any time during this session.

LightHeaded is not required to run QRL.

I really love the concept behind QRL, but I'm scared to use it. When I grabbed my first escort quest, I was spammed with lua errors and my framerate nosedived to the point that I couldn't do anything but disable the addon (luckily I run addon manager). Here's the error - I'll try to use a small font so it's not massive. The quest for reference was
Escaping the Tomb

Edit: got the same error spam and framerate drop from the wintergrasp quest "taking the battle to the enemy" (alliance side).

I've been experiencing some fps stutters lately, and determined it was the "timed updates" feature of QRL. I disabled those and all is much better now. EDIT: Ok I lied. Even with timed updates off, I still get a stutter due to QRL. Disabled QRL completely and now it's really gone. Last edited by Toran : 05-27-10 at 07:30 PM.

Yeah you'd think that'd be part of it, but shockingly no. I had timed updates off when I accepted the quest. It was immediately upon accepting that I dropped to 1 or 2 fps.

I know with timed updates on it wouldn't stick, but for those of us that keep timed updates off it'd be helpful.

Curious, any improvement on your end? I had to disable QRL as it was causing me massive slowdowns also. Didn't use to, just in the past few weeks.

For example, doing [Taking Battle To The Enemy] in Tournament area results in a lag effect / stutter when killing mobs and looting them. Try that to reproduce.
