A blast from the past
Posted By: mrobrian
Wow, it's great to see that this addon is still popular. I first wrote it for myself almost 6 years ago because I didn't like the built-in quest tracking interface and I wanted to learn how to write addons, then I shared it and was shocked by how many thousands of downloads I saw across the various sites. I quit playing WoW a few...

I no longer play WoW
Posted By: mrobrian
Hey guys, I'm sorry QuestGuru broke so quickly after I quit playing. There is a lot of drama going on in my life right now and for time and financial reasons I had to cancel my WoW subscription and don't have time to work on QuestGuru. I would encourage other programmers to branch off other addons using QG as a starting point....

Update for 4.1
Posted By: mrobrian
I just put up a new version (2.2.3.1) that makes it so that QuestGuru doesn't show up as out of date. This is the *only* change, just an entry in the .toc files, no new features or anything. I haven't been playing the game at all lately and haven't had any time to work on QG. This happens from time to time, but I'm sure I'll do so...

Re: Default Quest Log
Posted By: mrobrian
It looks like you found the issue, but FYI (and for anyone experiencing something similar), if you are using the latest version of QuestGuru, it is no longer a quest log replacement, because that was causing taint, it is now a quest log enhancer, so the default quest log and the QuestGuru quest log are actually the same thing and it...

Re: Wowui?
Posted By: mrobrian
Yeah, that site always has problems, which is sad because it used to be my favorite site for addons, as far as functionality of the site. Whenever I update QuestGuru, I will always upload it to WoWUI, WoWInterface, and Curse. If WoWUI continues to have such issues, I might remove it from their site. Originally posted by Corbeau...

Re: Re: New PopUp Quest Window Action
Posted By: mrobrian
Make sure you are using the latest version of QuestGuru and its tracker. A lot of these new quests just automatically get accepted, and QuestGuru has never blocked that. With the latest version, the quest entry in the tracker will flash when the quest is complete and ready to turn in, just click it to get the quest complete window....

Posted By: mrobrian
Do you have another addon that does something with keybindings? The line of code giving you an error is: SaveBindings(GetCurrentBindingSet()); But GetCurrentBindingSet() can only possibly return 1 or 2, according to the documentation, and the error you are getting is saying that it returned something other than 1 or 2. Orig...

There is a small gap there by design so the items don't shift when the scrollbar appears and so MobMap buttons don't overlap them. I am considering redesigning where those quest item icons go.

New Version
Posted By: mrobrian
Just put up a new version. It fixes the weird scrolling issue and also makes the quest log remember where you put it if you move it.

Posted By: mrobrian
Well, I knew I'd be making more changes, and I didn't want to inundate everyone with updates, so I held off for a day or two. I know the scrolling thing is annoying, so I think I'll release the next version now that fixes it. 1. QG used to be its own window, but is now just a modifier of Blizzard's quest log. For some reason Bli...

Posted By: mrobrian
I *think* (though I could be wrong because I haven't looked that deeply into it) that the quest log and the map actually share a frame for displaying quest information, so it would make sense that if both the quest log and the map are open then one of them would not get that frame. I do have the weird scrolling fixed, but it seems...

Posted By: mrobrian
With the QuestGuru tracker, automatic quests are not "in your face" like they can be with Blizzard's tracker. Also, automatic quests are just that: automatic. QuestGuru doesn't do anything that would or could block such quests, it just might not necessarily include all the new stuff Blizzard added for them. All you have to do is c...

Posted By: mrobrian
What kind of problems were you having? Also, whenever deleting any files/folder such as Cache, WTF, etc., always make sure you are completely out of the game first. The game loads all that stuff into memory and then writes it when you exit, so deleting those files might have no effect if you do it with the game running. The same...

Posted By: mrobrian
This is due to a change I made to try to avoid the possibility of taint. I went looking through some of Blizzard's code and found they do something very strangely. I do know how to fix this issue, and the next version will have it fixed, but I want to do additional testing to see if taint might happen. Also, I'm not sure why you...

I have not been able to duplicate the issue you were having. Was it with a specific quest, or after a certain event or anything? Originally posted by Maischter is this also fixed now?

Update time
Posted By: mrobrian
Thanks to FineWolf for the fix on the achievement tracker. I also added a flashing highlight when a remote quest is ready to be turned in. It should grab your attention a little better.

I just tested Deadmines. After each quest you just have to proceed further into the dungeon to automatically be given the next one. No need to run all the way back each time. Originally posted by squaretex Well, perhaps I'm a dimbulb, perhaps not. <;) But I rejoiced to see to QG was back, and had the means to auto-complete...

Make sure you are using the latest version of QuestGuru. It's not a big, in your face, question mark button, it's just a "(?)" next to a quest. Also, if you find the QuestGuru tracker won't turn it in for some reason, just open the options, uncheck the option to hide Blizzard's tracker, and then you can use theirs. Originally po...

Re: Quest log
Posted By: mrobrian
QuestGuru no longer stores that information. The built-in Blizzard stuff will show you where to go to turn in a quest, or you can use an addon like Quest Helper. The QuestGuru 2.x series is basically a "lite" version of QuestGuru 1.x and won't be as feature rich, but is much more stable. Originally posted by Agie222 I don't kn...

To answer a bunch of posts at one: Yes, achievement tracking is bugged, but hey, at least it doesn't crash your game anymore :o But seriously... I am looking into it and hope to get results soon. Please do not try to use QuestGuru_History with QuestGuru 2.x, they are not compatible and you will get errors. Completing quest...

Posted By: mrobrian
I'm looking into it. However, you can untrack achievements by shift-clicking them in the tracker. Originally posted by Oxides I get this issue with acheivements too. Clearing questguru savedvars didn't help. Only unloading questguru allows you to abandon tracking acheivements.

Try moving either your quest tracker or your achievement tracker, you have them both in the same place. Originally posted by Alekc When I've selected to track Quests and Achievements at the same time i've got this: http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/3746/gurururu.jpg

Apparently there is some code out there somewhere than hooks into how tooltips are displayed. Since I don't have that certain library or whatever, I was never able to reproduce the error, but I believe I have made changes that fix it as of version 2.2.1 Originally posted by Oferi I did.
