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

v.1.6
- updated TOC to 40100
- 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
- support for rActionButtonStyler skins (well, sorta - it just looks to see if it's installed, and then uses the skin texture/color)
- 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
- fixed bug where your set height would not be reapplied when re-expanding the tracker

Esmeralda A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 18 Uploads: 0	Since today's patch I noticed a... funny behaviour, subtle enough that I initially mistook it for a new feature of the default quest tracker or some such. Long story short, whenever I click on a quest in the tracker and the quest tap opens, the flavor text will show as slowly fading. The first few words will show, then characters will grow more and mroe transparent until the text vanishes completely. Opening the quest tab independently and browsing through it manually will not produce this "error" and text will be shown as usual. Apart from this most peculiar behavious, no feature appears broken nor any error is firing. Thought fair to warn you about it, just in case it happened to anyone else out there

Thanks for your quick respond. The problem must be with dMinimap then.
You don't happen to know how to turn the questtrackermoving from dMinimap of? I know it has to be done in the LUA coding and I tried a few things but they didnt work.

Thanks

Edit: Nevermind. Found it! And again: thanks

Hi there!

Sorry to bother you with this question but I cannot find the option to make it collapse up instead of the standard down.

Also I can't move the tracker when I activate all my addons. I know this should be because another addon is doing something to the tracker window but I don't have such addons.

In this picture the addons that are installed.

Thanks in advance

Though, I made it that it will minimize rather than hide. __________________ "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]

One suggestion: Option to auto-hide when entering instance and related option to restore when leaving. I queue for randoms while questing quite often. The quest tracker is useful when questing obviously, but just clutters the screen in dungeons.

You can control this with the built in options of the Blizz Quest Tracker. If memory serves me right, and it usually doesn't, right click the "Objectives" label and then in the drop down menu check proximity and uncheck remote zones...I think. That should make it so only quests related to the zone you're in appear in the QT and if you have no quests in that zone then no quests will show at all. So as long as you have no quests in that particular dungeon the QT should be blank.

Okily dokily, thanks for the reply Seerah

Atm, when you track a quest it goes to the top of the box that I have configured, the next tracked one goes underneath that, ect ect.
What I was wondering is if the first quest can go to the bottom of the box I have configured, and the next tracked quest goes ontop of this, instead of underneath it ect ect, with the box still being the same size that I set it to when the quests were starting at the top.

Sorry if my first explanation didnt explain this very well, and if you did understand it and I have just misunderstod your explanation, then again I apologise.

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, the tracker has a set (configurable) height. It would be a hassle to look at how many lines are shown, do the math to calculate the height of the tracker, etc, etc.
