QBar

QBar - Quest Item Button Bar
Ever been questing and had to find all those usable quest items in your bags all the time, then this addon is for you. No longer will you have to keep your bags open to do daily bombing quests!

This addon will automatically create a dynamic buttonbar for all those usable quest items, it also checks if your equipped gear for usable quest items.

Command Line Parameters

/qb toggle
Toggles QBar being enabled or not.

/qb scale <value>
Sets the scale of the buttons, default is 1.

/qb size <value>
Sets the unit size of the buttons, default is 36.

/qb padding <value>
Configures the padding between the buttons, default is 1.

/qb tips
Determines if item tips are shown when you move your mouse over the buttons.

/qb vertical
Toggles between horizontal and vertical button bar.

/qb mirror
Changes the anchor direction, top/bottom or left/right, depending on the vertical setting.

/qb lock
Toggles the button frame being locked, use this command to move the buttons around.

/qb clearignore
Clears the ignore list, and shows all items again. You can shift click an item to ignore it.

/qb bind
Use this command to set the key binding for the last item used, this is vital for all the dailies.

Lacking Features, Problems & Ideas
- Manage the update of keybinding, no need to unbind and rebind if it stays the same as before.

Change Log - QBar

QBar Changes | 2009 Mar 08
- Added a mirrored anchor direction option, use the slash command "/qb mirror" to toggle it.
- You can now set the unit size of the item buttons using the command "/qb size <value>", default is 36. This option is not new, I had previously removed it when I added the scaling option.
- The item tooltip is now a little more intelligent and should not block the buttons any longer, no matter what corner of the screen you put QBar.
- Zone items should now properly update after you re-enter an instance from a corpse run.
- Did a little code cleanup.

QBar Changes | 2009 Feb 20
- Usable zone items will now be shown on the bar. An example would be the flying drake's essence in The Oculus instance.
- Some items which starts a quest are now included onto the bar.
- If only one item is shown, the assigned hotkey will automatically become bound.
- Since some quest items are not marked as being so by WoW, I've added a custom table that forces any itemid in it, to be included no matter what. So if you find a quest item that isn't shown, please let me know which one it is, and I will add it to this list for the following releases.

QBar Changes | 2008 Nov 09
- Changed the TOC version to 30000 for the Wrath of the Lich King patch.
- Settings are now saved per character.
- The ignore list is now remembered between sessions.
- Fixed the "/qb toggle" slash command.

QBar Changes | 2008 May 01
- Added an "update throttle" to avoid lag when receiving several events at the same time.
- New slash command to lock and unlock the button frame. The border which used to show before is now only visible when unlocked. Use "/qb lock" to toggle the lock.
- You can now link items into chat as well as trying out the item in the dress up frame by using the normal modifier keys for those actions.
- Added back the "UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED" event, otherwise equipable items would not get removed from the button bar when you completed or abandoned the quest.
- Previously, not all quest items got included on the bar, this was due to some items not having the text "Quest Item" in the tooltip. Now it should properly include all items as one would expect.

QBar Changes | 2008 Apr 12
- I've renamed the addon to "QBar" as I like that better than "QButtons".
- Removed the size slash command "/qb size <value>" in favor of a scaling option using the command "/qb scale <value>".
- Added a padding option to set how much space there should be between buttons, use "/qb padding <value>" to set.
- You can now set a hotkey to the last item that was used. Use the slash command "/qb bind" to set the key binding.
- The buttons should now properly update when you leave combat.
- Fixed a bug where the cooldown frames could be shown on the wrong button if some of the objects on the bar changed position.
- Shift clicking an item now ignores it for the reminder of the session. Use the command "/qb clearignore" to show all ignored items again.
- Removed the "UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED" event, not needed as all gear change invoke "BAG_UPDATE" anyway.
- Changed frame strata to medium to allow other frames to show above it.

QButtons Changes | 2008 Apr 09
- Should now work on localised versions of WoW, let me know if I am wrong.
- Added cooldown frames to the buttons.
- New slash command to change the size of the buttons, use "/qb size <value>" to do so.
- You can now turn off tips showing on button mouseover with the slash command "/qb tips".
- There is now an option to turn the bar growth to vertical, instead of the normal horizontal, use the command "/qb vertical" to toggle.

QButtons Changes | 2008 Apr 06
- First Release.

cawfee A Fallenroot Satyr Forum posts: 22 File comments: 100 Uploads: 1	This is an amazing little mod! One little change that'd be great: in addition to the horizontal and vertical switch, allow regulation of expansion to the left or right side. I like to keep my Qbar on the right-hand side next to my additional action bars, and it'd be wonderful if it would grow to the left instead of the right.

Now I have it full time for dailies, etc. I've been a fan of ACB for a bit now, due to its low memory usage. I'm going to try infobar, too, though I'd like to see a DPS meter added? Anyway, thanks!

Drubear A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 6 Uploads: 0	Might have a conflict with vehicle bars ... I was having a problem with my action bars not resetting when I was doing the Explorer League daily (take the plane and fight the harpies) and when I dismounted my action bar didn't revert properly. (The action buttons stayed big and they were my regular buttons - all blown up!) I disabled QBar and I didn't have an issue. This will take some more testing just to be sure, but I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem? I use the stock action bars but I do use Fubar so the bars get offset a bit by Jostle.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 64 File comments: 460 Uploads: 18	khurzog Personally, I do not care much for minimap buttons or fubar, so you wont see that. But adding some shortcuts should be an easy thing to do. Unfortunately It's not possible to test if an item is usable at your current location. And I never actually realised how awesome this addon is myself, until leveling to 80 Gravion Yeah, this is a good idea, was missing this too during The Oculus. I will see what I can come up with to make usable zone items appear on the bar.

khurzog A Cobalt Mageweaver Forum posts: 215 File comments: 132 Uploads: 0	hi, just discovered this and i love it! saves me much much time =D thought id throw some pennies at ya though (lol my 2 cents, get it. /shutup) you should add either a minimap button and/or fubar support and/or keybinding for toggling. currently i set up a macro to turn it on and off, but i really dont like that stuff on my actionbars (same goes for lock/unlock) is it possible at all to make the quest items are are currently usable either flash or glow or sing (maybe not sing) or maybe fade out ones that are currently unusable. that way when you are doing something and you have 6 things up on the bar, you know exactly which to use and when, instead of shudder reading the tooltips =D anyways thank you! this addon is incredible! __________________ Last edited by khurzog : 11-24-2008 at 02:41 PM.

Instead it uses the return from GetItemInfo() to see if the itemType or itemSubType is "Quest", or it checks the tooltip for the item, and sees if it has "Quest Item" in it. I know there are items which really shouldn't be included onto the QBar, but they are marked quest items by WoW. You can just add these items to the ignore list.

I seeeee

Can i request that Emerald/Amber/<thatotherone> Essence gets added, please? they're used in The Oculus instance

Stratholme Holy Water is, too..

Technically Stratholme Holy Water *is* a quest item (even though you don't use it for the quest). Personally I find it more useful that Qbar has it there than not.

There's a buttonfacade plugin available in the optional files.

Sec A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 91 Uploads: 0	Thanks for the update, Aezay! If I may provide a suggestion, I think it would be great if one could choose what direction they wanted the bar to grow from. For the bar set as horizontal, grow left and grow right, while vertical would have grow top and grow bottom. This would allow a person to dock their bar beside another UI element without worrying that the bar may grow and overlap. For example, if my minimap is on the bottom-right of my screen, QBar can overlap the minimap if it is set on the left side but is showing a lot of quest items. To fix this, I must unlock Qbar and move it, then readjust it again when I have fewer items. With the feature implemented, I can have QBar set to horizontal and choose for the bar to grow left so that the bar won't grow over my minimap. Cheers and kudos for the great work! __________________ I post as Avanina on wowace.com.
