This is a quest-tracker replacement plugin for FuBar. It provides a tooltip which replicates /most/ of the information from the quest log. It can display (or not): quest level, difficulty, objectives, zones, and suchlike. It will put quest information into the tooltips for quest monsters and items. It will make quest levels appear when talking to NPCs.
If other people in your party are using QuestsFu it'll show you how many of each quest objective they've gathered.
If you want it to, and don't think it will annoy people, you can send a message to party chat when you advance a quest objective.
Shift-click on quests in the tooltip to copy the title to the chatbox if it's open.
Control+Shift-click on quests in the tooltip to copy their objectives and status to the chatbox if it's open.
Control-click on quests in the tooltip to share them with your party.
Alt-click on quests in the tooltip to add them to Blizzard's quest-tracker.
QuestsFu includes a replacement for the Blizzard built-in quest tracker, which can track more than 5 quests at a time. Right-click on it to adjust its scale and coloration.
Certain thanks must be given to MonkeyQuest, which motivated me to write this by being everything that I wanted in a quest-tracker replacement while annoying me by putting a frame over a quarter of my screen.
If you want just the party quest status announcements and announcing your quest status in chat, try PartyToGo. Or recommend it to people in your guild who you group with all the time but who don't like the FuBarishness of QuestsFu.
Like this mod? Donations are nice. Pay for the addiction, etc.
Change Log - FuBar - QuestsFu
Changes:
2.0.65647: 2.4. Minor changes to level display.
2.0.55071:

PartyNotify and Announce now have slightly more detailed options for what to announce.
Change PartyNotify to use SinkLib.
zhCN localization by yhwh. Updated zhTW (helium and NightOwl), deDE (gamefaq), koKR (sayclub and next96).

Allow choosing of custom colors for everything, instead of Blizzard defaults.
Add option for maxHeight and minWidth on the Detail and Tracker frames.

I'm having an issue with QuestsFu when used in conjunction with Grid. When both mods are active, the Quest Log somehow moves into a permanent frame which I can't find any visible means to remove.
I just came by to report this as well. .Just spent 15 mins turning thing on and off to track it down and it is indeed questFU keeping helper text from appearing.
Will try work around, but this should be addressed.
Thanks for your hard work.

The messages I am writing about are the ones that let you know why something isn't working, like "bank is full" or "too far away" or "you are mounted".
It may seem trite to have to live without these, but they are something that I have gotten used to, as well as the "job's done" audio prompt from Questsfu that I have grown to really like.
I don't want to have to make a choice between the two.

Will there be a fix?

Disabling Player Status in Modules seems to be a temporary fix.

Does anyone know the name of QuestFu's tracker frame, or the function QuestFu calls to show/hide it? I want to add it to a small addon I maintain for myself that hides certain frames on combat.
Originally posted by CthulhuDragon I'm having an issue with the quest tracker. It seems that the "minimum width" setting doesn't do anything. It keeps adding quests in and making it really narrow. I have the minimum width set to 240, but I've tried all manner of settings and it makes no difference.
I edited the text scale in the Lua, which made the tracker legible.
I'm having a bit of an issue with the program. I installed it to replace MonkeyQuest, and all seems well, except quests are STILL popping up on the Blizzard Quest Tracker. I already disabled "Automatic Quest Tracking" in the options, and already checked to make sure it was still there. Anybody familiar with this kind of odd behavior? I never got this when MQ was installed.

So I have this issue with the quest tracker "sticking" to my cursor whenever I try to move it to a different location on my playing field. The only way I have found to correct this is by alt f4 ...
Anyone know what I am doing to make this happen or how I can undo it without having to close the game out?
Why does the party log window always say "doesn't have Quixote" even when they have the same version of Questsfu installed and showing the party log is enabled? It worked yesterday and doesn't today, no settings were changed, so what needs to be done?
I love this addon, and I have always used it with Lightheaded. But since the patch they no longer function together. Is this something you could take a look into?
This is the errormessage I get:

I phrase it this way because I intend to thoroughly gut QuestsFu in the next day or two. When I'm done it'll just be the core left. All other functionality is already in BetterQuest.

If you like QuestsFu for anything it does other than showing the quest count on FuBar, and showing the FuBar tooltip, then you'll need to upgrade.
This includes: the better tracker, adding levels to the default frames, remembering quest givers, putting quest progress into floating combat text and tooltips, and sounds.
Right now BetterQuest lacks a pretty details panel, and LightHeaded integration. It should still *work* with LightHeaded, but only in the sense that it will properly open up the quest log with LightHeaded showing.
Note that there does not appear to be any "official" release of BetterQuest atm, you can grab it off of wowace SVN, or through various auto-updaters.
1) How do I disable the Announcements to Party? I've turned them all off yet they still announce each completed objective and everything else.
2) I just came back to WoW from over a year break. I remember back then, I could change the keybinding from the Default Blizzard Quest Panel to the one that QuestFu has. I can't seem to find this, is it still possible?
