CARBONITE® Quest is a full quest database, enhanced quest watch list, HUD Arrow and cool movable, scrolling, zooming Google like world map that makes questing easy.
Features
Map - The Carbonite map gives you all the information you need in one easy to use and flexible Google like map. Move, size or zoom it the way you like.
Quest - Blaze through quests at lightning speed and level faster than you ever thought possible. Our extensive quest database lists the location of quest objectives and turn-ins. Simply click any objective from your quest watch list and Carbonite will show you where to go. No more wasted time bouncing back and forth between a web browser and the game.
Battlegrounds - Dominate your opponents with our enhanced battleground map. See the location and names of all your teammates. See objective timers right on the map and issue orders with a click of the mouse – call for reinforcements to attack a vulnerable enemy target or simply announce the status of an objective. “He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.” - Sun Tzu
UI - Windows can be moved, sized, scaled and locked. Values are saved for each character. Coexists well with most UI addons.
Privacy - Not in a social mood? Just turn off communication with guild, friend or zone and other Cabonite users won't see you on the map.

Originally posted by Spahut That's a bit of a sweeping statment, that nobody uses Blizzards map.
Well, when i started the addon for the first time, your map came up when i pressed m - and *I* had not changed any keybindings , ergo your addon must have captured them. Of course every time I try to access the in game options map(by pressing ESC or clicking on the button) and the carbonite map is visible it zooms to maximum - so some things are a bit.. unusual.
I said most. The Carbonite map hooks into opening the world map, so it uses the existing "Toggle World Map Pane" keybinding.
I use ESC many times a day and always have the normal sized Carb map open and have never had it maximize. Might be a rare bug or maybe only in Quest.

Ah, so its only "Carbonite" which times out then, i thought they both did.
Btw, regarding the quest "Uncovering the Past" you should probably trim it a bit, currently it has some points for where it thinks the relics are - but the relics respawn randomly in the digg, and so is not accurate
Originally posted by carboniteaddon It is easy for most customers because they never use Blizzard's map. We never use Blizzard's map. None of Carbonite's keybinding are set by default, so I don't know what setting and clearing them would accomplish.

Originally posted by Spahut I don't believe that. Easy would be if the key in "interface panel functions"/ "Toggle World Map Pane" was respected - but it wasn't (since it was set to m) - only setting and deleting all the carbonites (cryptic) key bindings cause it to work.

Originally posted by carboniteaddon Normally it is simple, since that works for most people. Try disabling all other addons and see if it starts working. Then we will know if it is an addon conflict.

Originally posted by darkchylde79 I was running Carbonite Quest v 1.17 I think. I kept getting the "new version" popup, so I updated, and now it's not working correctly. CQ isn't able to get quest info and track them. The error I get is
string "function Nx.nilthen:elseifinnot(wtflocal) i..."] line 1:
attempt to call global 'GetQuestLink' (a nil value)
I've tried using 1.191, 1.2, and 1.21. The first 2 load, but no quest info. The last doesn't even load. I play on a private server, and they are on WoW 2.3.3. I'm thinking that since we haven't patched up, that's the problem. I'd like to continue using CQ, it's a great add-on. Is there a way to get version 1.17? Or, perhaps you can think of something else I can do to make the newer versions work for me? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!
The private server is the problem. GetQuestLink was added in patch 2.4. Sorry, but we don't support private servers.
Originally posted by Spahut Yeah if it was that simple it would be simple. But it doesn't work, binding the map the m still shows your map not the original map.

Originally posted by carboniteaddon Cartographer does override that, so in that case you need to set the carb keybinding to explicitly show the original map using Alt-M or whatever key you want (like m).
Yeah if it was that simple it would be simple. But it doesn't work, binding the map the m still shows your map not the original map.
