QuestGuru  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.8.3
by: Lazare [More]

QuestGuru is a Quest Log Enhancer.
If you are looking for the "Classic" version of QuestGuru click QuestGuru_Classic

I have split off QuestGuru and QuestGuru Sounds into two separate addons that don't rely on each other so that the community that really missed the sounds can have them with me delaying them because of the qork being done on QuestGuru. I hope this makes at least some people happy.
You can click > QuestGuru Sounds

Note: If you like this addon, please "Like it" on Curse.com.
All Donations support me and I thank you in advance for it.


Features include:

  • Enhanced 2 page quest display in the log
  • Patch 6.0 broke QuestGuru, so this is a completely different monster
  • Conforms to the WOD map quest log (Tooltips for quests and icons showing quest status)
  • Added full time quest level in front of quest name and tooltips.
For those who are missing the Quest Tracker of QuestGuru, try Kaliel's Tracker


I have been using it for a long while and is not half bad

TO-DO's:
  • Will try and revamp the quest tracker as I love it also. But wanted to get the Log out ASAP.
  • Try to bring back the other features of the old QuestGuru (Sounds, announcements, etc.)
  • Need to make a in-game config window, still a work in progress.
F A Q
==============
Q. How do I post a Bug Report?
  • A1 - Click on QuestGuru Go to the AddOn and on the right side there is a selection called "Bugs" click on that. You will need to be signed in to WoW Interface to create a bug report.
  • A2 - Or file a ticket on QuestGuru@CurseForge
  • Note:
  • Please include the version of QuestGuru you are using and copy/paste the error message you receive.
  • Please describe what you were doing when the error happened. This will help tremendously.
Q. How do I turn on auto-tracking of quests?
  • A - Look in the options for the game itself, not QuestGuru. Under Objectives there are options to set when to track quests.
  • QuestGuru does not duplicate these settings in its own options as it could become problematic and it is not necessary to duplicate options already available.
Q. Where can I find a version compatible with WoW patch x?
  • A. QuestGuru is supported for the current Expansion and Patch level running on the live servers. PTR versions may be supported as Alpha or Beta releases, but I offer no guarantee.

Massive rework of the QuestGuru code. Right now the tracker is not working :(

Version 2.2.18-50400
-------------
QuestGuru
(no changes)

QuestGuru_Tracker
* Normalizing the version numbers between QuestGuru & QuestGuru_Tracker to the same value. This will be the main change log henceforth.
* fix Achievement to ignore update events that happen during portals (between leaving and entering world events)
The update event would fire, but Blizzard was reporting no achievements during that time so the QGT would
"UnTrack" the Achievements and so there would be none when the display tried to update (and therefore currLine was zero and j was nil)
* Look at the oldChangeLog in QuestGuru_Tracker for older updates to the tracker

Version 2.2.17-50400 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Changing the Version number so Curse will see that it's different

Version 1.5.16-50400 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* fix QGT_Achievement.lua to handle Blizzard not returning an integer value on the slider
Version 2.2.16-50400 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Removed a bit of diagnostic code accidently left in.
Version 2.2.15-50400 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Change logic around QuestLog_OnShow to use secure hook functions to resolve
a taint issue introduced by patch 5.4.1 (Shame on you Blizzard).

Version 2.2.14-50400 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.15-50400 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* TOC change for patch 5.4

Version 2.2.14-50300 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.15-50300 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* TOC change for patch 5.3
* Fixed a problem in QGT_Achievements that caused the Tracker to fail (Tracker)
* Big thanks to CMTitan who provided code to handle Scenarios that came out with MoP (Tracker)

Version 2.2.13-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Added a new sound option to announce (Thank you Drizt)
* Added a snippet of code to fix a rare QuestLog layout problem. Drizt ran into this again in MoP & kindly shared his fix for the issue.
* Fixed a few more places where party handling was changed in MoP/Patch 5.0.4.
* Changed the Debug message for the objectives not returning data to be sensitive to the debug setting.

Version 1.5.14-50001 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Fixed another place where party handling was changed in MoP/Patch 5.0.4.

Version 2.2.12-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Blizzard API GetQuestLogLeaderBoard is failing to return information for the identified objective & quest on some quests.
I changed the code to look for no information return and simply bypass processing for that objective after dumping some info into the chatlog.
I've added a slashcommand to invoke the routine at will: "/qg testui1"
For me, it's failing on "Shadow Wardens" and perhaps that's because the world tree marks are currency, not "items".
If the quest is an event quest (get 150 marks) then the type of quest should be event and the numObjectives should be zero.

Version 2.2.11-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Error being reported by some @ line 410 of QuestGuru.lua. Added some diagnostic code when text == nil

Version 2.2.10-50001 (QuestGuru)
-------------
* Removed some leftover diagnostic messages

Version 1.5.13-50001 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Fixed a problem with the Achievement Tracking

Version 2.2.9-50001 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.12-50001 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Both - Updated several items for compatability with Mists of Panderia (Patch 5.0.x)

Version 2.2.7-40300 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.10-40300 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Latest revision of the Russian localization now incorporated. Thank you again StingerSoft!
* Removed some unused code. Frame "QG_QuestLogTitleMenu"
* Fixed the SetBindings problem that would cause all bindings to occassionally get lost.

Version 2.2.6-40300 (QuestGuru)
Version 1.5.9-40300 (QuestGuru_Tracker)
-------------
* Made several localization changes. Enabled $substitution variables in announcer to be localized as well.
* Incorporated a brand new localization for Chinese(zhCN). Credit to Honooon with many thanks.
* Incorporated an updated localization for Russian(ruRU). Credit to StingerSoft with many thanks also.
* Updated all of the localizations (even the new ones) to synchronize variable names
* I based the updates upon the default (American) localization file.
* I removed variables that were no longer in the base localization file (most moved to the QuestGuru_Tracer localization)
* and added missing variables (in American)
* We now have localizations for German, French, Russian, and Chinese (zhCN & zhTW).
* I would really appreciate it if speakers of those languages sent me updates to them.
* There are some new variables in the localizations that need translation!

Version 2.2.5-40300
-------------
* The History button call to QuestCompletist has been fixed.

Version 2.2.4a-40300
-------------
* Refixed an issue in QuestGuru_Tracker\QGT_Quests.lua where SaveBindings sometimes received an invalid value because GetCurrentBindingSet() would return other than nil, 1, or 2.

Version 2.2.4-40300
-------------
* Fixed the TOC for 4.3 cata
* MrObrien has asked that somebody pickup and work on the QuestGuru so I will try and do some updates as I can't play without this mod.
Addon home is www.wowinterface.com and you can PM me there if you like. Gregity is the name.
I will be making small changes to get used to the codebase before I try anything like a major update.
* Fixed an issue in QuestGuru_Tracker/QGT_Quests.lua where SaveBindings sometimes received an invalid value because GetCurrentBindingSet() would return nil
* No other new information has been added (yet).

Version 2.2.3
-------------
* Fixes for when scrolling the quest log
* The quest log frame will now remember where it was when moved

Version 2.2.2
-------------
* Tracker achievement bug fixes and flashing for completed remote quests

Version 2.2.1
-------------
* Tracker bug fix that was causing game crashes

Version 2.2
-----------
* Added quest levels to NPC dialogs where possible

* Fixes for Cataclysm
* Special thanks to Dridzy and Cartman for their invaluable contributions

Version 2.0 Beta 2
------------------

Version 2.0 Beta 1
------------------

2 points I'd like to make.. not sure if they'll be of any information, or if you have a method of overcoming them:

- earlier today I got a taint error from QG after I tried to dismount by right-clicking on the buff. After the error I was unable to dismount this way, and had to reclick the mount icon on my hotbar to get off.

- on one alt I still have 2 Hallow's End achievements in my tracker, which I have both completed (probably while logged in at another computer). I'm unable to remove those achievements from my tracker, as they no longer have a checkbox to untrack them in the achievement window.

(and yes, I did check if I had the latest version this time, just to be sure )

lonadar: taint issues should go away in the next version

Naem: I removed QuestGuru temporarily from Curse because of issues I was having with people who post on that site. When I'm ready to release the next version, I will put it up on Curse with comments disabled.

I picked up a quest at the Hero Board in Darnassus... I don't use the QG Tracker or History - I just like the quest log and announcements...

The more I look into what the actual problem is with the tracker the more I'm noticing that it has nothing to do with taint, but rather some missing functionality. I am working on adding that button that appears when completing some quests. I am also going to include an option in the next release to show or hide Blizzard's tracker so if the QuestGuru tracker doesn't support some functionality you can just show Blizzard's tracker and use it real quick rather than log off, disable my tracker, log back in, etc.

I'm hoping to get "QuestGuru 2.1 Beta 1" released soon, but it still has a few issues that need to be worked out first. And yes, it will include the tracker

I am also going to miss the quest tracker, to be honest it was the only thing I used from the addon. I've also noticed a fair amount of posts/questions elsewhere regarding replacements for the tracker as well.

That was the quest "Pirate Accuracy Increasing" from the Speedbarge in Thousand Needles.

Not really a taint issue, just something that's missing from the currently released version of QuestGuru. After extinguishing the fires, a button pops up in the default tracker which you have to click to complete it and get the next quest.

just wanted to post my support for at least the tracker portion of this mod. I know it's silly, but being able to customize the colors is very important to me. I've spent easily 3-4 hours in the last couple days testing other tracker addons, and they simply dont compre. they either dont have the options, arent user friendly, or out right buggy.

Life without quest guru is hard indeed.

Basically, she started questing in the new Thousand Needles (as Horde, if it makes a difference, shrug) and was doing a quest where she was tasked to put out 16 fires. Completion of this quest (pre disabling of QG and it's tracker) did nothing; we both assumed it was bugged. After a couple days of this, it dawned on me to have her disable QG and retry the quest; upon completion this time, the Blizz tracker had the "Click here to complete" thing, and she was able to move on.

Sad to hear that the tracker causes taint issues. Then there is no way to get it working the way it was.
Maybe someday Blizzard changes something so that it would be possible to replace that crappy tracker...

questions from a person who cannot code addons herself (thus they might be stupid questions, to a lua-smart person):

is the stuff for the quest tracker and the achievement tracker the same stuff? is it possible to not have a quest-tracker-modifying addon, but still have an achievement-tracker addon? thus leaving the 'default' quest tracking but still allowing a person to have the movable, shrinkable, resizeable achievement tracking?

whether or not that's a future part of QG, if it's possible to 'split up' the quest and achievement tracking, and if Mr Obrien does not want to deal with the hassle that seems to be the tracker these days (and since, so far, the current-build achieve tracker doesn't seem to be broke), I'm thinking of pitching the idea of an achievement-only tracker to Tuhljin for Overachiever. I track a /lot/ of achieves anyway, and with guild achieves imminent, I can only see myself needing to track many more -- and I'm probably not the only one. Losing the quest tracking part of the tracker box is saddening (I really liked the changing colors as I worked towards quest completion), but losing the achievement tracking part will kill me.

of course, the answer may be "they are the same stuff, you can't split achieve tracking out of quest tracking, and it doesn't matter who takes a crack at it, you just can't do it." In which case I will.... simply be really really sad every time I look at the right half of my screen, covered in nasty unreadable cluttered white text, and sigh as I remember the glory days gone. Sometimes, ya just can't fix what's broke.

but if you never ask, you never know. so... anyone know? *hopeful*

Aww maaan. This is some sad news.

Ever since Blizz pretty much copied the quest log your tracker has been the biggest reason to keep using QG. I really hope you get the energy/time/motivation needed to get the tracker working.

If not, thank you for the awesome years! You have spoiled us (beyond repair probably)! Will still keep using QG though for whatever small support it gives.
