2.3 - Fixed missnamed variable (thanks Zidomo)

1.2 - Now handle objects on the floor.

1.11 - Keeping the Enemy at Bay seems to return nil on GetQuestLogLeaderBoard() sometimes. Now fixed.

Thanx for update.
I'm not exaggerating when I claim I literally can't play WoW without QueTip.
Now... I can continue my little big WoW adventure.

Slakah, I believe your latest patch doesn't work. The addon crashes when you have 2 quests with the same objective.
Code:

Is it possible to add the option to not show the completed objectives for mobs and objects (items should always show objectives imo)?

Hmm, I didn't know blizzard had created 2 quests with exactly the same objective, I'll have to muck about with the code and see if I can come up with some clever way to fix this.

wrong quest name

Take a look on this screenshot. The mob that has to be slain is an objective of two quests. QueTip shows two quests but shows the name of one quest twice.

That wouldn't work as I'm hooking the "OnTooltipSetItem" Script method, which isn't a function stored in the metatable, and tbh I don't know where it's stored. I suppose I could initially iterate over every tooltip and then hook CreateFrame, to get all the tooltips, but tbh I don't think thats necessary, unless this is a frequently found problem.

Instead of dislaying the name of the quest (ex: In Search of the Ruby Lilac) which has as objective a mob, item, or item found in a mob, display the objective name (ex: Ruby Lilac). This has two advantages: the player can know quickly what he is looking for in a mob (if he has to slay him, or to loot an item from him), and, if a mob "has" more than one objective (see Containing the Rot), the player will be able to distinguish them. In other words: it would be more intuitive.
I personally like seeing the Quest Name only, as it tells me that I need to do something to this mob/item to progress in the quest and tbh I don't want to see
Ruby Lilac
Ruby Lilac: 0/1

As it's fairly obvious, although I may implement something for quests which hold the same objective.

V2.2 is still bugged.

Log on an 80 Mage for the first time during a session. Was sitting outside the Nexus instance. Error at logon, different from what I posted before that occurred with v2.0:

["message"] = "QueTip-2.2\\QueTip.lua:111: attempt to index global 'factions' (a nil value)\nQueTip-2.2\\QueTip.lua:134: in main chunk\n<in C code>: in function `LoadAddOn'\nAddonLoader-2.0\\AddonLoader.lua:109: in function `LoadAddOn'\nAddonLoader-2.0\\Conditions.lua:124: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\AddonLoader\\Conditions.lua:117>\n\n ---",
["type"] = "error",
["time"] = "2009/06/24 00:08:20",
["session"] = 521,
["counter"] = 1


Then I was summoned (via summoning stone) to the Coilfang Reservoir area to do the Midsummer Festival event boss. Error similar to the above after accepting the summons and arriving at destination. It repeated 10 times:

["message"] = "QueTip-2.2\\QueTip.lua:111: attempt to index global 'factions' (a nil value)\n\n ---",
["type"] = "error",
["time"] = "2009/06/24 00:10:16",
["session"] = 521,
["counter"] = 10


Back to v1.2 here for now.

Hello,
there is a problem when using QueTip and Engravings together. It doubles some of the lines in the tooltip when you click on an item in the chat. See screenshot. Mouseoveritems tooltips are not affected. Only happens when Engravings and Quetip are both enabled, checked all other tooltip-changing mods, but they didn't do anything, it's strange that Sellfish +AuctionLite info is not doubled.
