Quest Initiators v1.3

First, a thank you to 'ApatiaMax' of ApaticMiniCoords. I took some of your code for creating the coordinate window.
I hate coding the XML for frames/windows.

If anyone uses the ApaticMiniCoords addon, you'll notice that the coord window in that mod, and now in my mod are the same.
By default, mine is hidden so as to not interfere.

Newly Added in 1.3:
Quest Initiators will now automatically share data between party members when sharing a quest. If the person sharing the quest has QI installed and active, their quest information will be sent along with the quest to party members in range to be shared with. Anyone accepting the quest who uses Quest Initiators will then receive the correct quest information, instead of 'Shared from a Player or item'.

Previous Features
The ability to choose the color of the added quest text is now available!
This is accessed through a slash command '/qi color'
Please inform me of any bugs.

Coordinates! They are now appended in (x,y) format when a quest is picked up.
German localization! Thank you to omegasnow for the translations!
French localization! Thank you...someone!

I'm on a continous effort to make my mod compatible with most other quest altering mods. I think that I have finally gotten EQL to work properly with my mod! Please let me know!

*Update*
Through user confirmations, this mod is working well with Extended Quest Log. Some of the changes that were made to fix the bugs may result in some of the QI entries not working after this upgrade. Everything should work with newly accepted quests though.

Purpose:
This addon just adds a small bit of information to the quest description of who gave the quest, and where they are located.
I often forget where I got a quest if someone asks me, or just in general where the person is located for the turn in.

It's also another small addition to remind me of some of the nice features of Guild Wars.


Code / Bug Information:
This whole thing seems, to me, like a really ugly code hack.
I made it as clean as possible, but it still just appears like a mess.
It works well though, and I haven't discovered any bugs yet.

I've tested this with CT Mod, and have received reports of conflicts with Extended Quest Log. I'll have to look into this to see if there is anything I can do to fix it.
Please report any bugs to me so I can look into fixing them.

NOTE: This will only work with quests you pick up AFTER the addon is installed. If you have current quests at the time you add this, their descriptions WILL NOT change. Any new quests you receive will have the added stuff to them.

Enjoy!

While this addon still appears to work in Woltk; I would like to see one more thing added to it as well as getting the toc updated. The ability to have the date that a quest was added; just below the co-ords in the quest log. RLD

When changing into say bear form, sometimes the cords go --,--. Also the zone markings are changed, In the middle of a zone it told me i changed zones? I have to log out of game and restart it to get them back to normal. if not useing any forms at all it works ok?

I like this addon, but can't use it as your added text is all I get to see in MonkeyQuest's summary view. If you can allow an option to put your added text at the end of a quest description it would get around this.

Will have updated posted today. There's nothing going to changed except for the TOC file. Can be done yourselves if you wish.

You need to manually create the HK_QuestInitiators directory under your addons directory and drop the mod files in it. Unfortunately the author did not package it with the zip folder option on but once it's extracted at the correct location is works well. Note that UICentral (addons manager) does not install it correctly as well because of the above omission.

the coords under the mini map are cool just if there was one on the big map, for player and pointer....

I attempted to use this mod and nothing changed, even if I did pick up new quests. I might have missed it but is there another mod I have to have in order for this to work?
