Note: This is the same UI as "UberQuest 3.0.4" - I'm retiring that project as it was there just for WotLK BETA.
UberQuest is a drop-in replacement for Blizzard's QuestLog providing a dual pane view, full panes for the quest listing and a second full pane for the quest description itself. Plus, my favorite feature, a powerful quest tracker/minion.
UberQuest is a community effort. The original version was written by Saien (Modded by BanMan and Ithilyn, Additions by CaptCrunch) and now fixes by me to have it work with WotLK.
----------------------------------
I, as well as many other people, have not found a quest mod replacement that is better than this one. I like it because of its simplicity yet exact options that I've wanted to have for a questlog interface. Thanks to all who have kept this mod going!

Change Log - UberQuest Reborn Again
Known Issues:
None.
Version 3.0.4:
Fixed: Active Quest Minion bug on line 1529 - still was trying to call function "ToggleQuestLog"
Version 3.0.3:
Fixed: Changes by LBXZero so that WoW default "Quest Log Toggle" now defaults to you're normal quest hot key. Both uberquest hotkey or WoW default keybinds can be used (if you really want two keys to open your quest log) or just one.
Version 3.0.2:
Fixed: Active Minion" option bug (Oops, inadvertently caused this)
Minor other changes to code, same functionality.
Version 3.0.1:
Fixed: Error when hovering over Abandon Quest button.
Fixed: MoneyFrame error at login caused by incorrect MoneyFrame_SetType
Version 3.0:
Several fixes for "self" and "SetTextColor"
.TOC changed to 30000
2.4 CC - Removed UberQuest2.4.3_Fan_Update.zip and uploaded UberQuest24CC.zip from comments from CaptCrunch located at http://wowui.worldofwar.net/?p=mod&m=4506
* Add quest to minion on progress - If selected in the configuration window, a quest will be automatically added to the minion if the player advances an objective of that quest
* Lightheaded button - If LightHeaded is detected, a WOWHead logo will appear in the upper right corner of the detail frame. When clicked, this will reattach the LightHeaded frame to UberQuest. I found that it was really easy to break the attachment just by moving the LH frame, using the "attach" console command, thinking it would work as advertised (it causes the LH frame to disappear when UberQuest is active), or in any number of other ways. This feature will immediate fix that problem without forcing you to do a "/console reloadui" to get it back.
Other Changes:
* Updated TOC to work with the 2.4 patch
* Updated UberQuest to work with the new LightHeaded
* Resized the LightHeaded frame to match the size of the UberQuest detail frame
* Modified shift-clicking of quest titles to pass quest links to the chat window instead of text
* The scale slider has had its scale range increased to 150%. This is to accomodate players that use decreased UI scaling on WoW (even 100% was difficult to read at the lowest scale setting)
* The "Active Minion" option may now be used with locked minions. However, a locked minion is no longer click-through to the background; it just can't be moved.
2.4.3
· Added additional XML and LUA code changes by Aoon to be able to toggle the display of quest level in front of the new quest linking feature introduced in World of Warcraft v2.4
2.4.2
· Added the ability to use the new quest linking feature - changes recommended by Aoon. To show a quest link in your chat window, open the chat edit box and while having your UberQuest list open and Shift + Left Mouse Click a quest title to have it show up in your chat window as a quest link including level difficulty.
2.4.1
· Minor changes to the Readme.txt file
2.4
· Updated TOC to 20400
· Fixed errors that were calling incorrect LightHeaded functions on line 697, 1504 and 1614 of UberQuest.lua
first of all: Thank you for keeping this addon updated. I love it. :-)
I just upgraded LightHeaded to the current version, and it claims that UberQuest is a threat to the client's performance (although I've not experienced anything about it). Perhaps you could look it up? I screenshotted the error: http://files.ipwn.se/WoWScrnShot_111708_174038.jpg
UberQuest is great but I'm also using QuestHelper and UberQuest seems to prevent QuestHelper from adding quest information to objects and mobs tooltips.
I have seen that UberQuest provides the same functionnality (which works when I activate it), but I'd prefer to have QuestHelper's information.
I don't know if it's a desired behaviour or a conflict between both addons, but it would be great if this could be fixed .
I like this addon, but honestly, I don't like the tracker. I would really like to use the default tracker in the blizz UI, but it no longer works, or even shows up for me.
Thank you for keeping this addon up to date; it's one of my favourites.
It works perfectly except for one minor issue: I'm using the latest version, and locking the quest-tracker minion doesn't seem to allow "Click-Throughs". This functionality was working in all the previous versions but now seems to be broken.
Originally posted by Heracy I'm not trying to hate on you in any way, and i'm sure that there are things in this mod that make it unique, but how is it different from other mods that do something similar, like doublewide, for example...I like to know exactly what feature set an addon has when i'm comparing against my current addons, so i'd like to know more about the special features.
To me, this consolidates your addons. Why download Doublewide, Quel-Level, Monkey Quest, etc when it all comes with UberQuest?
BUG (kinda): The default Blizzard UI quest watcher is still appearing underneath my minimap but it does not track quests. I have the minion open and it's keeping track of quest progress, but the default is just sitting up there, doing nothing. Is this an UberQuest issue or something else?

I'm baffled.
Download the newest version 3.0.4 and install it. You're using an older version.
Originally posted by palmsized I'm having the same prob as johnnyp. Worked once, the first time I logged in after install...now it's not working at all. I NEED this mod! Pls help!
I can't duplicate the problem. Is this on the live servers? I've tried clearing my WTF/Uberquest cache and logged into different characters... It works every time for me. You're using the 3.0.4 uberquest version?

Might it be possible to include an option to disable the quest minion and use the default UI's quest tracking instead? I really like the large quest log window, and the separate window for the individual quest text display. And there are times when I like using the "minion" - but there are other times it's just in the way and I would prefer to have the default quest tracker instead.
I noticed that everything works great with the first toon I log into after the install, but then it will not work on any other toons on that server. Wondering if this is a known issue or how I can fix it.
