8.1.0

Storyline

Version: 3.0.3-beta1

by: Ellypse, kajisensei

Tired of the old questframe ?

This addon aims to enhance the readability and immersion when questing in World of Warcraft. It adds a brand new quest frame, with animated models and fancy effects.

If you like to read all quests and are a fan of the World of Warcraft lore, this addon is for you !

What is it, exactly?

Storyline provides a new quest frame, that panel appearing when you get a quest from a NPC. World of Warcraft UI improved over the years but one thing Blizzard never touched is this hideous Quest frame. We wanted to have a quest frame inspired by the garrison frames dynamism.

Storyline frame adds 3D animated models for you and your quest giver. Also it "cuts" the dialogue into multiple parts, playing one after another in an old-school RPG style. Finally it adds more effects and visuals to express objectives and rewards.

Changelog for version 3.0.3

Added

When the option to force flavor gossip text for NPC dialogs is enabled, a new button is added to the UI, next to the button to close Storyline, that allows you to blacklist specific NPCs that you don't want the flavor gossip text to appear (mission tables, flight masters, etc.). This will not disable dialogs that are not disabled when the force gossip option is not enabled.

Fixed

Updated version number according to patch 8.1.
Removed replay button from the classic quest frame as it would throw a Lua error due to recent changes.

Changelog for version 3.0.2

Fixed

Fixed an issue that could cause Storyline to be incorrectly reported as the source of other add-ons errors.

Changelog for version 3.0.1

Fixed

Hotfixed an issue with the library shared between Total RP 3 and Storyline.
Updated list of Patreon supporters.

Changelog for version 3.0

Note: The scaling system in this version is temporary and will be improved in a future version.

Added

The player model is now refreshed when changes happen to your character (equipment changes, druid forms, etc.).
The scaling between the two models is now animated when one of the models changes.
The 3D models are now animated into the view.
Added support for quests with special background and wax seals.
Added item icon border for Azerite empowered rewards.

Modified

Completely re-implemented the way animations are played on the 3D models. Using new in-game methods for timing animations, we no longer need our own database of animation timings. This means that all models are now timed automatically by the game.

Fixed

Fixed Lua error when displaying spell rewards.
Empty lines will now be skipped and no longer be shown in the dialogs.
NPC emotes spanning over multiple paragraphs are now correctly colored until the actual end of the emote.
Models with no speaking animation will no longer start playing their idle animation from the beginning when they are being animated.
Fixed an issue that prevented dead NPCs to appear as dead in Storyline.
Fixed an issue where the player model would not be displayed correctly when Storyline was opened when the player model was not already loaded (typically during login).
Fixed an issue that would make the game crash during quests that have an attached 3D portrait.
Fixed an issue that would prevent the correct attached 3D portrait from appearing for some quests or display it when it shouldn't be.
Remove April fools' joke from UI.

Hello. There is an option to disable Storyline while at the Darkmoon Faire, you probably have it enabled ^^

I will try to come up with a better workflow for the next versions, sorry about that. The debug logs in the chat are totally a bug on my side, good catch ^^ They will be removed in the final version.

FYI: latest (3.0.0-beta) throwing debug output into chat.

Hi there. This is a FYI. (and I put it in an edit to my last reply, instead of a new comment, so if you see double, it's me.)

Just to let you know: Both wowinterface and curse got a new version today, it's *not* flagged as BfA tho it is named with -beta. It's spewing what looks like debugging comments into the chat frame. I'd updated a bunch of addons today, and ended up backing out of each one by one till backing out of Storyline stopped it. You can see images of it here: https://imgur.com/a/HLsacbA

Mind you, I wasn't getting any actual errors.

The latest working version for the Live servers is 2.0.13.1

My apologies. I keep the latest .zip file around, to check things like this, and I *have* the 2.0.6 zip file. I checked, really! But I just went into the AddOns folder and poked the .toc file, and no, it did not say 2.0.6. So I'm very confused, and I'm sorry to have bothered you. Thank you for responding.

I'm still having errors

I'm still getting errors on this. If I have PlaySoundFixer activated, I get piles of chat spam from it, but Storyline works. After this latest patch I couldn't play for a few days (not sure why, possibly weirdness interacting with Linux) but PlaySoundFixer started throwing wild errors; when I turned it off, I'm back to getting this from Storyline. Also, it still brings up a frame, in *addition* to the normal quest frame, with whacky stuff on it. You can see screenshots of it here, with the swatter overlay showing the error, and without the swatter overlay.

Thanks for uploading it here, now! Unfortunately, I run linux on an older machine; the website with all its animations gives my machine fits. And the curse/twitch client doesn't work on it without emulation, and I'm already beating my head on emulation for WoW and don't have the additional patience. I do realize that Curse is doing things to get addon authors money, and I really do appreciate that, it's just aggressively painful for me to use, and so I go there far more seldom. It doesn't help that, as far as I know, there's no option for me to get informed by email when an addon updates, which WoW Interface does.

Again, thanks!

PlaySound issues.

I'm assuming you're poking at this, but I haven't seen any mention of the error, so I'm reporting it.

It also gives weird reactions when you actually talk to a questgiver. I'll update with screenshots when I have them.

Oh, that's an edge case I haven't think of. There actually is a scroll bar rendered but I hide it because it doesn't look great in the middle of the frame. I was thinking of re-designing it and gave up because it was too much trouble.
