Fizzwidget Levelator Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.3

by: Gazmik [More]

It seems some gadgets are inclined to break once you take them through the Dark Portal... I was in the process of moving my shop from Gadgetzan to Area 52 (gotta stay on the forefront of goblin technology, you know) and noticed some of the gizmos I'd brought with me (other engineers' gizmos, of course) had fizzled out. So, once I'd unpacked, I set to work on building replacements.

This one is a simple, lightweight variation on those gizmos that help you adventurers get a finer-grained difficulty estimate for those quests you're always going on. It's a smooth operator, so I've named it The Levelator (call it "John" and bring it on elevators if you're so inclined). Granted, there are a couple of others that do the same -- and still work in Outland -- but I haven't come across any yet that don't depend on unnecessarily large machinery.

Features:
No configuration necesssary: Quest names will appear preceded by their recommended level in brackets (in most, but not quite all places where quest names show up in the UI). Shift-clicking quests in your log to insert them in chat will insert the level as well. Quests that have an extra tag describing them in the quest log (e.g. Group, Raid, PvP) will show the first letter of that tag next to the level (e.g. '[11G] Wanted: "Hogger"').

v. 3.2 - 2009/08/04

ok... the problem is more complicated than i thought. from what someone else discovered, GetGossipAvailableQuests() now returns 5 fields and GetGossipActiveQuests() returns 4. The original code assumed both returned 3 values.

I tried a bunch of ways to pass a indicator through the function FLV_UpdateGossipQuests(...) but i'm not expereinced enough with lua and addon programming to get it right yet.

In the meantime i made a kludge fix that seems to work. I split the function into 2, one that iterates every 5 values and one that iterates every 4:

Code:

function FLV_OnEvent(self, inEvent)
	if (inEvent == "GOSSIP_SHOW") then
		FLV_ButtonIndex = 1;
		FLV_UpdateGossipQuests1(GetGossipAvailableQuests());
		if (GetNumGossipAvailableQuests() > 0) then
			FLV_ButtonIndex = FLV_ButtonIndex + 1;
		end
		FLV_UpdateGossipQuests2(GetGossipActiveQuests());
	elseif (inEvent == "QUEST_GREETING") then
		for i = 1, GetNumActiveQuests() do
			local level = GetActiveLevel(i);
			local title = GetActiveTitle(i);
			local button = getglobal("QuestTitleButton"..i);
			button:SetFormattedText('[%d] %s', level, title);
		end
		for i = 1, GetNumAvailableQuests() do
			local level = GetAvailableLevel(i);
			local title = GetAvailableTitle(i);
			local button = getglobal("QuestTitleButton"..i + (GetNumActiveQuests() or 0));
			button:SetFormattedText('[%d] %s', level, title);
		end
	end
end

function FLV_UpdateGossipQuests1(...)
	for i = 1, select("#", ...), 5 do
		local button = getglobal("GossipTitleButton"..FLV_ButtonIndex);
		button:SetFormattedText('[%d] %s', select(i+1, ...), select(i, ...));
		GossipResize(button);
		FLV_ButtonIndex = FLV_ButtonIndex + 1;
	end
end

function FLV_UpdateGossipQuests2(...)
	for i = 1, select("#", ...), 4 do
		local button = getglobal("GossipTitleButton"..FLV_ButtonIndex);
		button:SetFormattedText('[%d] %s', select(i+1, ...), select(i, ...));
		GossipResize(button);
		FLV_ButtonIndex = FLV_ButtonIndex + 1;
	end
end

not very clean, but the best i could do. if someone has a better solution let me know

Great addon, I don't get any of the strange conflicts from this addon that I did with it's two (atleast that I know of) competitors. One small request though... just a minor thing that bugs the snot out of me.... would it be possible to add a space between the level and the text. Turning it from "[10]Text" to "[10] Text". (I have a small monitor and have to run my fonts at a small size to have any screen space at all.... and that lack of a space can make reading the level and text quite difficult.) Thank you kindly!

Just wanted to put it out there, may completely be a Mobmap change, or could be Blizz. Just wanted to post so folks knew. Shows up as a Mobmap bug, but if Levelator is off, Mobmap works fine.

I've been getting the following error message as of the most recent update:

Code:

GFW_Levelator-2.4.1\Levelator.lua:74: attempt to concatenate local 'link' (a nil value)
LightHeaded-233\LightHeaded.lua:70: in function `GetCurrentQID'
LightHeaded-233\LightHeaded.lua:83: in function `SelectQuestLogEntry'
LightHeaded-233\LightHeaded.lua:41: in function <Interface\AddOns\LightHeaded\LightHeaded.lua:40>
<in C code>: in function `SelectQuestLogEntry'
+Wowhead_Looter-20403\Wowhead_Looter.lua:863: in function `wlUpdateQuestLog'
+Wowhead_Looter-20403\Wowhead_Looter.lua:800: in function `?'
+Wowhead_Looter-20403\Wowhead_Looter.lua:1762: in function `wlFrame_OnEvent'
<string>:"*:OnEvent":1: in function <[string "*:OnEvent"]:1>

Fix in progress? Or is there a workaround I can apply myself?

Error is pretty consistent, but I haven't had time to binary-search on other mods. Changing the initializer to link = (existing expression) or "" works.

Yes, the latest patch broke it. I'm very sad.

EDIT: Actually, I've noticed that it still does put the quest level in when you're getting the quest. It just doesn't show up in the quest log now.
