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
- update for BfA
- cleaned up options tables

v.2.2.1
- updated for Legion
- backend improvements for display of number of quests in log

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
- right-clicking the minimize button to show the quest log will now click "View All Quests" for you - which is the reason why you opened the log, right?

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.1.9

- option to collapse watch frame during pet battles

v.1.7.4

- updated libs
- added option to automagically collapse tracker when entering an instance

v.1.5.4

v.1.5.2
- fixed expand/collapse button again - now it's not too high
- bumped TOC version cause I forgot to before

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

- new options to change line spacing (thanks, seebs)
- random bug fixes and code cleanup for 3.3.3 and above changes

v.1.3.1
- fixed bug when mousing over achievements. Now you'll see the tooltip for the achievement instead!

v.1.3
- added tooltip for quests in the tracker, displaying their objective text
- 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

renerie A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 21 Uploads: 0	Hey there I have a question about the direction you can anchor it to collapse. Is this also the direction it will grow? As in, if I set the achor to bottom left, will it grow upwards everytime I add a new quest to be tracked? if this is not the case, is there anyway you can add an option to reverse grow direction?

No, my guess is that you have something else interfering with it (ie, trying to move/control the WatchFrame) in addition to WFWW. And changing the anchor changes the direction that the watch frame collapses to (one of the reasons why I recommended the addon to you

).

/edit: your first screenshot is also off - the Objectives text and collapse button shouldn't be so far down from the top of the background.

I'm confused on what you are asking. There aren't multiple panels.

Actually, the reason I wouldn't use rActionButtonStyler is because I can't get the same look with it as I can with ButtonFacade which is used in RealUI, and that's the UI I use.

Also, I haven't found another addon that does any of the other stuff that actually does it right either... I have a lot of free time on my hands and I have looked on every website I could think of, and did google searches.

Really nice addon, I like all that it does. But I have a question or request rather...

The little nodes (yellow ones that you click on and it brings up the main map to show you where the quest is generally completed at), don't fit with just any UI. I was wondering if you could add support for changing the color, maybe even add some support for semi-transparent support for UI's like RealUI, so it'll fit with it more.

Also, maybe add support for ButtonFacade, since most major UI overhauls use it?

And maybe create some skin options for the Arrows for TomTom so it can fit too? If not then, do you know of an addon that will do that for me?

See what I'm trying to do is, make everything fit with RealUI, which most authors of UI's never re-design the Questlog or add anything to help with it in anyway, so every time I use a full on UI experience, I have to do it myself, and I don't know how so I go about looking for addons that will.

Oh i know that, but moving it wasn't all i wanted. I love the minor options as well, like outlining the font. XD

Woot, I've figured it out! lol I actually had forgotten that Tuk has his own way to move the tracker (been out of the game for 6 months).

<3 Thanks!

Seerah Fishing Trainer Forum posts: 10860 File comments: 687 Uploads: 33	I've fixed this up now. The default UI has the watch frame expand if you have it collapsed when an auto-quest popup appears. What you see in your screenshot is the watch frame attempting to do this, but the container frame still being collapsed (too small). Now, the container frame will open when you get a popup. __________________ "You'd be surprised how many people violate this simple principle every day of their lives and try to fit square pegs into round holes, ignoring the clear reality that Things Are As They Are." -Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

gaeria84 A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	I've set the anchor to Top Right. Note that this on the screen edge. I noticed that whenever the Click to Complete Quest overlay pops up, it doesn't align accordingly. Only after I uncollapse and recollapse the tracker, then it will align properly. Any ideas?

Are you sure? Disable all other addons and try again. It should work just fine.

1. I'll think about it. Why do you need to adjust the strata? (Also, if you would like me to remember this suggestion, please put it at my Portal.)

2. Interface Options > Objectives allows you to switch between two different widths.
