merneith — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 07:29:35 +0000

I'm seeing a similar error from Bugsack. It works fine until I open the map with the blobs & quests on it, then it spams a bunch of errors, resulting in text similar to this:

{
= "QuestRouterLite-0.9.4\\QuestRouterLite.lua:649: attempt to call method 'DrawQuestBlob' (a nil value)\n\nLocals:|r\n\n ---",
= "error",
= "2010/12/24 20:03:51",

}, --

Still works for me in 4.0.3a Release, only one small thing...

If you have a turnin mark (?) for a quest on your map, it will always show the question mark blob in the center of the minimap, thus obscuring the player's position arrow.

If you guys are looking for a replacement for this mod until it's updated I found one called QuestPointer.

Seems to have about the same basic functionality.

zarnyeq2 — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:25:46 +0000

i was actually about to write an addon similiar to this for cata that also works with archeology. i found a hackish fix to get ALL the positions instead of just the ones of the current map zone. (and have the nice little shortest route handler of questhelper)

it will not be smart enough to do start -- a --- b --- c path should be start -> a -> b -> c -> turnin, it would go start -> a -> start -> b -> c (each dash is distance) i can however make it prefer to complete quests in current zone instead of turning in ^_^ it obviously also wont be flight point or zone line aware (for distance reasons)

aaanyway reason im posting is for more or less permission to post the major code changes required, or i could just make my own yoink a few functions and have to think of a different name =p

Minimap icons getting confused after quest complete (QuestRouterLite)

Thrana — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 20:42:41 +0000

I was having issues with extra icons showing up on the minimap after completing a quest. The reason for this is the call to QuestRouterLite:RemoveMinimapIcons() was not actually removing any of the old icons. To fix this issue, replace all instances of "ipairs" with "pairs". ipairs() does not work if the table is sparse and QuestRouterLite.pois is sparse.

RainbowSheltie — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 17:06:01 +0000

Interestingly, while this does work for me, I'm also seeing my world map quest icons 'flicker' when I hover over them to read the quest info. After experimentation, I know turning this addon off fixes it, but I've played around with different settings and am not sure why the tooltip flickers. My FPS are hardly stable to begin with, so I really don't know how much of an impact this mod has on my game. I'm using Tukui UI for my interface, so that might have something to do with it, but I've turned off the map mod and the map icosn still seem to flicker sometimes. :/ Just thought I'd mention this.

Otherwise, love the addon. I don't mess with my World Map too much, but otherwise this seems to work (in that it nicely uses Tomtom to show me where to go next). I hope this gets updated though, its really useful.

Sorry guys, I haven't played WoW in... (QuestRouterLite)

Lyncks — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 20:16:38 +0000

Sorry guys, I haven't played WoW in awhile - been busy finishing up with college. I should have some time in the next few weeks to play again, and I'll get to fixing the addon.

Anyway, seems strange that it'd suddenly start being an FPS hog - I never had major drops while testing it, especially to the degree of dropping to 1 or 2 FPS. When I get working on it, I'll run it through a CPU profiler and see if I can't figure out why it's doing that.

It might be related to the blob frame, as that's the only other thing that's frequently updating - but it shouldn't be unless you have that enabled.

Sorry if it's become unusable for you guys, as I said, I'll try and get to fixing it when I have the time.

I turned this on and immediately it turned itself on, then off, then on, etc, it would not stop. Disabled all addons but this and Tom Tom, it still did it. Disabled all except this, same thing. I have no clue, lol, would have been a nice to use it, I think. :eek::eek::banana::eek::eek:

Curious, any improvement on your end? I had to disable QRL as it was causing me massive slowdowns also. Didn't use to, just in the past few weeks.

For example, doing in Tournament area results in a lag effect / stutter when killing mobs and looting them. Try that to reproduce.

Lyncks - a really nice feature for me would be to let right-clicks, or double-clicks, or some combination of clicks on the numbered minimap trackers, automatically update the tomtom arrow to that quest. I know with timed updates on it wouldn't stick, but for those of us that keep timed updates off it'd be helpful.

trclocke — Mon, 24 May 2010 05:35:03 +0000

I really love the concept behind QRL, but I'm scared to use it. When I grabbed my first escort quest, I was spammed with lua errors and my framerate nosedived to the point that I couldn't do anything but disable the addon (luckily I run addon manager). Here's the error - I'll try to use a small font so it's not massive. The quest for reference was
Escaping the Tomb

Edit: got the same error spam and framerate drop from the wintergrasp quest "taking the battle to the enemy" (alliance side).

Taint issues (QuestRouterLite)

cormanthor — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 04:38:13 +0000

Not that this is terribly bothersome, but it looks like there's a taint issue with the WorldMapBlobFrame. I can't be sure (other than combat) what specifically triggered it. I did not have my world map open at any time during this session.

I really don't know what could be doing that. I don't even have the RemoveQuestWatch() function anywhere in the code. Do you have Include Completed quests on?

Is that option part of QLR or part of the tracker's new dropdown options? If it's the tracker drop down should that be left at "manual"? I have "include completed quests" checked.

I did a sarch for RemoveQuestWatch() function in all of my addons running - Notepad++ didn't find it anywhere.

EDIT: I understand, ignore above. The default tracker, doesn't really remove completed quests, but changes the quest to a completed state with the objectives removed.

It's impossible for any addon (including this one) without a predetermined questing circuit to magically avoid fatigue areas. I'd suggest using your discretion when following the arrow...

Lyncks, with the new Blizzard tracker is there a setting we should keep it at? Does using "Proximity" or "Manual" impact QRL at all?

Also, I'm still getting completed quests disappearing from the tracker. Only addons i'm using are this, Mapster, TomTom, and Who Framed Watcher Rabbit (which confirmed is not doing this). Any idea? Doesn't make sense that it would be QRL...
