Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?

Version: 2.3.3

by: Seerah [More]

Note: This addon has been rewritten because of the changes to the quest tracker in WoD. Most everything has been re-implemented so far. (Button skinning has not been added yet, for example.)

KNOWN ISSUE: Blizzard's new quest tracker is very delicate and taints very easily, not allowing you to use quest items from the tracker itself. If this happens and a window pops up, click "Ignore". You can use one of several available addons to use quest items. I use the quest items ring on OPie, for example, or there is also QuickQuestItem or ExtraQuestButton or QuestItemButtonFix.

This addon will add many improvements to the new quest tracker frame. The slash command is /wfww. You may also alt-click the tracker's collapse button to access the options.

Features:

allows the quest tracker to be moved wherever you please
quest tracker will collapse in whichever direction it's anchored to (just up or down in WoD currently)
quest tracker remembers collapsed state
option to have scrollable quest tracker
adjust the scale of the quest tracker
adjust the font, font size, font flag (outline, etc.), or remove shadow
option to remove the art behind the section titles
adjust the spacing between lines (disabled in WoD currently)
give the quest tracker a background and/or border (border can be class-colored)
optional support for rActionButtonStyler to skin quest item buttons
adds a tooltip for quests to display their objective text
allows you to minimize/maximize (toggle) the tracker via keybind
option to automatically collapse the tracker when entering an instance or during pet battles
shortcuts added to the collapse button (toggle Quest Log, Achievement Frame, addon's options)
global or character specific profiles

History:
With the new quest tracker losing its ability to be moved freely, I set about adding support for it back into my minimap addon, PocketPlot. But it just wasn't as simple anymore with the way it was coded. So, I set out to create a standalone addon (or at least a module for PocketPlot). Originally named Movable WatchFrame, I started adding other features to the addon. Then I had to change its name, because it did much more than just moved the tracker. Thanks to Recompense for suggesting "Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?"

Looking for more?
These are other addons to enhance your questing experience which are tried and tested with WFWW. If you know of any more, let me know via PM and I can add them to this list.

Quelevel: Adds quest levels to the tracker, quest log, and gossip frames
Jobs'a'goodn: Plays sounds upon completion of quests and their objectives
QuestRouterLite: Adds the game's quest POIs to the minimap and works with TomTom to create waypoints for them automagically
TomTom: Allows you to set waypoints to destinations including a new feature to automatically show the way for quests
LightHeaded: Shows comments from the Wowhead website's quest database in a window attached to your quest log frame.

Known Issue:
If you alter the font size too much, you may have to reload your UI in order to have the quest tracker redrawn. Some text may also overlap if it flows onto a second line. In this case, consider adjusting the whole frame's scale instead.

v.2.3.3
- fix for Torghast anima buffs hiding in the scroll frame

v.2.3.2
- update for 9.0
- fixed backdrop errors
- updated for modified quest api

v.2.3.1
- fix for if WFWW catches PEW before the default ObjectiveTracker does

v.2.3

- cleaned up options tables

v.2.2.1
- updated for Legion

v.2.2
- updated TOC for 6.2
- added new option to display number of quests in log at top of tracker
- fixed display of "Objectives" text when the tracker is scrolled and then minimized

v.2.1.1
- fix bug with hidden scrollbar intercepting your mouse when you have scrolling disabled
- fix bug with pet battles (new objective tracker hides by default now, so WFWW's collapse in pet battles option now keeps the tracker from hiding, but will still collapse it)

v.2.1
- tracker now inside a scroll frame - maybe fixed taint with delicate quest item buttons???
- securehook tracker's SetPoint function instead of overwriting - this should help the delicate flower as well
(Note: nope, still broken)
- tracker now inside a scroll frame! - scroll through your quests and stuff (can disable in options)
- option to disable art behind section titles

v.2.0.1
- removed offending code that was causing taint that prevented you from using quest items - new tracker, why you have to be so delicate??? (this also caused an option or two to disappear, and you may need to reload the UI if making changes to the font or font size)
- yay, better solution to keybind code changes! (NOTE: do a clean install or delete the old bindings.xml file)
- fixed the nil "header" error
- catching a few more fontstrings

v.2.0
- rewritten for WoD
- most features have been re-implemented
- please file a bug report at my portal if you find any issues

v.1.5.1
- raise strata of collapse button so that its usable even if header text overlaps it from a large font size

v.1.5
- added a keybind to toggle (min/max) the quest tracker. You can set it in the WFWW options

v.1.4
- support for wide quest tracker feature for 3.3.3

- added support for nUI (to keep it from hogging the watch frame) - thanks, Xrystal! (I did not add nUI to the OptionalDeps line in the .toc, figuring that since WFWW starts with a W, it would load close to the end. PLEASE let me know if I need to fix anything!)
- added option to remove the font shadow
- organized options a bit better

v.1.2
- added option to hide the watch frame when no quests or achievements are being tracked

v. 1.1.1

Well it looks like QuestGuru extends onto the default questlog at a quick look, whereas Seerah and myself extend onto the WatchFrame. But when I play around with my own addon on Monday I'll take a closer look and see how it works there. But it will still be up to Seerah to incorporate anything like that if it was possible

I used to use QuestGuru myself when I was levelling.. but after 6 alts getting to 80 I don't really need to level any more rofl.

I may have misread whatever I am remembering, it might have been the achievements or quests and from whatever files they are linked to as I have looked at quite a few while working on my addon .. but in game wise, it's hard to know in my case as I don't play that much if at all. But I do know before this new WatchFrame completed quests did get removed from the tracker as it used to annoy the hell out of me and I'd have to keep going back into the quest log and set it to auto track again a few mins before doing my different hand ins.

If I spot the block of code or note that I am thinking of I'll let you know but looking at how the WatchFrame itself works it displays all tracked quests regardless of complete status. So, unless something somewhere tells it to stop tracking it, it shouldn't stop tracking it.

AFAIK, neither of them would remove a completed quest from the quest tracker. No problem - I'll get used to it. Spent too much time using QuestGuru/nquestlog and was able to keep completed quests visible in the quest tracker.

Yay! Now when the next patch blows it up, it'll be my fault!

Actually, speaking of feature requests... It would be Really Cool to have the option of hiding the objectives for completed quests. I mention this because I run out of room sometimes if I'm tracking all my dailies.

You might want to wait until 3.3.3. Not displaying the completed quests is an option every user can opt to show. They're still being tracked, just not taking up space until you ask it to. Unless of course Seerah wants to change it

If you need me to help eliminating any extra variables, just let me know. On a totally different tangent, I noticed that one of your screen shots has little POI buttons next to the quest in the tracker. I ran a compilation before that had this, and clicking the button opened up the world map to that POI. Is it the same there? I haven't found this in the default UI anywhere, and was wondering what you're using to accomplish that. Thanks! Great little addon. :>

What I specifically want is to have the titles, but not the "return to ..." text. Mostly because I'll have, say, 13 daily quests in my log, and I can see whether they're done, and I don't need a reminder of where to hand them in.

I replied to your bug report requesting further information.

Also, the POI buttons next to the quests in the quest tracker is default UI. Ensure that you have the map set to display the quest tracking stuff. I don't remember off the top of my head if there's another option anywhere that would do this in Interface Options.

I'm not going to be fiddling around with the text more than I already am. I may as well write a total quest tracker replacement instead of an enhancement.

Toran A Nerdscale Dorkin Forum posts: 143 File comments: 433 Uploads: 0	Hey Seerah. Thanks for adding the button skinning. I don't use ractionbuttonstyler, but i'm sure many do. To make this work for me I took out the line that checks for if ractionbuttonstyler is loaded and redirected the textures to use my border textures. Not sure if that breaks the integration with ractionbuttonstyler, but it worked well. Alternate is maybe adding Buttonfacade support also? If that is too much work / bloat, I understand. FWIW, my adjusted skin code looks like this (with modified vertex color to darken the border): Code: local function SkinButtons() local colorR,colorG,colorB = ActionButton1NormalTexture:GetVertexColor() for i = nextbutton, 15 do itembtn = _G["WatchFrameItem"..i] if itembtn then itembtn:SetHighlightTexture(hover) itembtn:SetPushedTexture(pushed) border = _G[itembtn:GetName().."NormalTexture"] border:SetAllPoints() border:SetTexture(skin) border:SetVertexColor(.4, .4, .4) else nextbutton = i break end end end Last edited by Toran : 03-28-10 at 04:30 PM.

Having done one, once, let me be the first to congratulate you on stepping back from that yawning abyss.

I dunno, maybe they made the API suck less since then, but I sorta doubt it.

merneith A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 3 File comments: 43 Uploads: 0	I'm getting an error and I'm not sure if it's this mod or QuestRouterLite causing it, so I'm going to mention it to both of you. There's no error message or bug report, unfortunately, it's just a visual thing. I have QRL set up to show only the next quest in the tracker log. I'm in Booty Bay and just turned in a quest to Sea Wolf Mackinley and then immediately accepted the quest "Cracking Maury's Foot". The watch frame updated to show the new quest - but there's a blue patch in the watch frame now. I know what it is - it's the colored area that Bliz's new map displays to show the location of a quest target. But I'm not sure why it's showing up in the watch frame. I did a couple of quests prior to this one, and the location map didn't show up like this. So like I said, I'm not sure where this coming from. Here's a screenshot showing the tracker and what I'm on about: http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/w...QuestError.jpg cheers!

Yeah, I doubt that WFWW is causing that.... Is the blue blob still there after reloading the UI/relogging? If so, does it go away if you disable QRL?
