QBar

Version: 20.10.31

by: Aezay [More]

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.
As using items is a secure function, QBar is not able to update the bar or the set keybinding when in combat. This will only be changed outside of combat.

You may ask, why use this over the buildin quest item buttons? Well, the buildin buttons will only show items you receive when you accept the quest,
any usable quest items you loot during a quest will not be shown, QBar will however. QBar will also show items which starts a quest, so you wont miss them in between all the cluttered loot.
The default buttons also goes away once you complete the quest, but the item is not actually removed until you turn the quest in, and you may want to use the item even after the quest is complete.

If you do not wish to show a certain item on QBar, you can ignore it by holding down Shift and clicking on it.

Button Facade Support
Officially there is no support for button facade, but someone has been kind enough to code one for QBar. You can find it here:
QBar ButtonFacade (Fan Update)

Command Line Parameters

/qb toggle

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

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

/qb reset
Resets the QBar frame to the middle of the screen in case it was pushed off screen.

/qb add <itemlink>

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

QBar Changes | 2020 Oct 31
- Updated the TOC version to 90001 for the Shadowlands 9.0.1 pre-patch.
- Frames that use backdrops are now created using the "BackdropTemplate".

QBar Changes | 2018 Jul 29
- Updated the TOC version to 80000 for the Battle for Azeroth 8.0 pre-patch.
- Renamed "core.lua" to "qb.lua".

QBar Changes | 2016 Jul 23
- TOC version updated to 70000 for the Legion 7.0.3 pre-patch.
- Fixed an API change that was obtaining the localized "Quest" string.
- Fixed another API change related to CooldownFrame_SetTimer -> CooldownFrame_Set. Thanks Gaddor.

QBar Changes | 2012 Oct 04
- Updated the changed return position of the localised "Quest" string from the GetAuctionItemClasses() function (was 12, now 10).
- Fixed an error that would occur when the GetContainerItemLink() function didn't return a true "item:<id>" itemlink. It seemed to sometimes return "battlepet" links. This change might cause some items not to be picked up as before.

QBar Changes | 2012 Aug 30
- Changed the TOC version to 50001 for the 5.0 Mists of Pandaria patch.
- Removed the "RangedSlot" equipment slot.

QBar Changes | 2010 Dec 05
- Should now work better on non-English clients. This was done by gathering the localized "Quest" text from the 12th parameter of the GetAuctionItemClasses() function.
- Fixed the "/qb lock" slash command, locking QBar intially, instead of unlocking.
- Changed the "VARIABLE_LOADED" event with "ADDON_LOADED".
- Added "/qbar" as an alternative, to the already existing "/qb" slash command.
- Fixed an issue with the equipped gear scan not respecting the ignore list.

QBar Changes | 2010 Nov 08
- You can now properly ignore quest starter items again.
- Adding custom items to the bar is now possible. Use the new slash command "/qb add <itemlink>" to do so. To remove an item again, just shift click the item on the bar.
- New slash command "/qb clearuser" to clear the custom user list, from items added through the new "/qb add" slash command.
- It's now possible to overwrite QBar's old keybind. This used to be somewhat of a bug/coding error on my part.
- Now remembers the last used item between sessions.
- The ignore list is now stored using the item ID, rather than item name. This has the unfortunate side effect that your ignore list will be wiped.
- Button "count" text now uses normal font, instead of number font.
- Now uses a more localized way of determining a quest item, instead of just using "Quest". This means it should be more compatible with non English clients.
- Minor code cleanup and optimisations.

QBar Changes | 2010 Oct 22
- Changed the TOC version to 40000 for the 4.0.1 pre Cataclysm patch.
- Items that starts a quest are now detected using the GetContainerItemQuestInfo() function.
- Added a few items to the list of items that should be treated as quest items.

QBar Changes | 2010 Feb 27
- Changed the TOC version to 30300 for the 3.3 patch.
- Removed global pollution of the name "button".
- Items which starts a quest should now be detected better.

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.

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 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.

Drubear A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 8 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.

Falter A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 19 File comments: 35 Uploads: 0	I love your work. I first saw this concept in Tourguide and loved it. 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!

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	Drubear This shouldn't be caused by QBar, but just to make sure, type this into your chat, that will make WoW log taint into "<WoW Dir>\Logs\taint.log", look for QBar in that file after you have encountered the bug in game. Code: /console taintLog "1" Falter DPS Meter, hmmm, maybe sone day Last edited by Aezay : 12-03-08 at 01:31 PM.

cawfee An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 94 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.

Jzar A Chromatic Dragonspawn Forum posts: 158 File comments: 281 Uploads: 5	Would you consider adding an option to automatically toggle QBar off when I join a raid? How bout an option to specify a certain number of rows or columns? I second a previous poster in a request, lastly, for the ability to tell it to expand buttons left or right, up or down (depending on the orientation). Other than that, this is really cool!

Mentioned this over a month ago; still no yes/no, still looking forward to it...

Septerian A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 3 Uploads: 0	could you make it so it only shows a single button but when you mouse over it expands to show the rest?

Aezay A Theradrim Guardian Forum posts: 66 File comments: 737 Uploads: 18	cawfee, Jzar & Sec I haven't forgotten this, but I've made very few updates on this addon. It is something I want to add, but when I get around doing it, I cannot say. Septerian Don't think so, because it uses secure buttons, so if I did it like that, you wouldn't be able to use them in combat.
