QuestRouterLite  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

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 a potential bug with the 3.3.3 stuff

0.8.4
3.3.3 working, new features coming soon
Fixed an error caused by a WorldMapFrame change in 3.3.3

0.8.3
Fixed scaling error when in instances

0.8.2
Fixed minimap blob scaling in zone, positioning should be correct for all zones now

0.8.1
Fixed bug when using WorldMapFrame_UpdateQuests() that causes the quest frame to blank

0.8
Minimap blobs
Turned off updating when dead so doesn't interfere with TomTom corpse pointer
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
Fixed blobs still showing after a quest was completed
Added skip feature
* Use /skip to skip current closest quest
* Use /clear to clear the skipped quest
* If you want to skip more than one quest, use the tracker
Added optional timed updating (mostly for moving around multi-blob quests) - disabled by default
Adjustable udpate time - default is 8 seconds
This really shouldn't be a whole lot heavier if you want to just leave it on, addon is light as it is

0.6.3
Ability to display all blobs on the world map at once (still in testing)
Fixed TomTom points being put on the minimap as well as POIs
Fixed the minimap POIs not working correctly when you don't have current zone only selected
This should have also fixed the sticking minimap POIs

Added an option to display a warning when there are no more quests in range
Fixed some weirdness with which quests were actually completed

0.4
Can now look for closest quest on continent

New Options
* Can toggle including completed and in progress quests
* Can toggle zone or continent for closest quest

0.3
Fixed an issue with waypoints sometimes not updating correctly

0.2

Can you change this from a .rar to a .zip so that the Minion updater for WOWI will install it?

Isn't this very similar to QuestPointer? And if, what's the difference?

I honestly hadn't seen this addon when I started mine (I did look, but didn't find it.) Right now, they are very similar.

However, I plan on adding more features to QuestRouterLite, hopefully ones that will distinguish it from QuestPointer. Anyway, there's always room for more than one addon that does the same thing in different ways (look at how many minimap addons there are!)

I just started yet another toon the other day, gonna be my 5th 80 .. but it's my first Horde. Didn't want to use QuestHelper, so this will be a nice change if it works to my liking.

Likes like the Author is great at responding to questions and concerns promptly, so I'll be sure to post any issues or recommendations that might occur.

Thanks! I can put it in the pipeline. There are others mods out there with this sole purpose if you were looking for something right now. Medley and Quest Progress Sound come to mind. It's easy to do a simple sound for quest progression, not as easy to do it only when a quest completes - possible, but when I get done with imperative features

Try the latest version, I'm constantly recoding and might have fixed what was causing that.

If you do come across the bug in the future, could you give me the version number, and how many POIs there are on each side of the zone crossing. Thanks.

Scary thing is, me and a friend discussed whether or not to write an addon to do exactly this, access the built-in information and display in TomTom, so I won't have to switch to the map view to get the location of the nearest one =)

And today, this one pops up! Awesomite!

There needs to be an additional check for if TomTom is present. Line 303 attempts to reference it without making sure it exists.

Code:

Found a bug (not a reportlog tho) that makes TomTom not updating the POI unless the option "Empty POI Warning" is enabled.

EDIT: or rather, it sometimes doesnt update at al unless you enable/disable that option.

EDIT2: or rather, any option would make it update this way :S Seems to bug if you abandon a quest that was the closest one and it doesnt update unless you change options.

Strange, looks like Astrolabe couldn't grab the continent and it threw an error in GetMapZones(), which is a Blizzard function. Where were you when this happened? I'll add a check that the continent is valid.

The reason for this is that QuestRouterLite only updates on specific events - when the POIs change, or quest status is updated (either progress or completion). I'm changing the quest one to UNIT_QUEST_LOG_UPDATE, rather than using the ones I was, as it essentially does the same (but slightly better).

It also updates when you change options.

Anyway, I'm going to assume you mean it's not updating when you change quests you're tracking (as it should update when the quests themselves change). The reason for this is that Blizzard doesn't seem to provide an event for the tracking change.

Strangely enough, not even the spammy QUEST_LOG_UPDATE works for the tracking frame.

I've hooked WatchFrame_Update, which fixes this - but when the watch frame updates it spams, so you essentially run through the POIs however many times it decides to do that. Right now that causes a hitch any time the watch frame updates. I really wanted to avoid heavy updating for that reason.

Having said all of that, I shall upload this version now (as it is definitely a nice feature and more user friendly) and continue trying to find a "cheaper" way of doing it.

Edit: Actually, that breaks more than I can live with. I'll keep working on it - at least there's a reason. For now you can use /qrl force to manually update once you've changed tracking options (or if the problem isn't related to the tracking).

Edit 2: The update to UNIT_QUEST_LOG_UPDATE coming should fix abandoning quests, if that was the issue.

Very happy to see this addon - been looking for something to lighten my QuestHelper CPU load. Been trying this tonite and it's worked out well. I use QuestGuru for my quest tracking. When it says to show POIs for tracked quests only, does it also apply to QuestGuru?
