Hello MrOBrian! Allow me to start by saying, thanks for an awesome addon! This is my quest log of choice, and I've checked out a few!

I do have a question, though. Is it possible to sort the quests by level, and level only? Right now, I have groupings for Redridge Mountain, Deadmines, Stockades, and Rogue, and they are sorted by level under each of those. What I would like to do is, sort ALL the quests by level, with no groupings. That way, all my quests are in level order, regardless of where they are. Not sure if that can be done, and if it can, I just don't see it. ;)

I know you're working on Cata, which is great that you want it ready to go on opening day, but if you could add this to a list of possible features to consider, if it's not there already, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks again for a great addon!

Hi MrOBrian,

I just started using QuestGuru and I love it :D thx for the hard work!
Just one little question, how come sometime when I completed a quest, it didnt show up on my history? But in the history list it said I completed it.
Are there any ways that can update the list? Cuz the number of quest completed doesnt seem to match the ones in the blizzard achievements statistics. Thx in advance!

I love this addon, the only thing preventing me from using it, is lack of tomtom integration. I would like to be able to hit ctrl+right click on the tracker and have my tomtom options there, as they are on the blizzard tracker.

MrOBrian, hello again.

I have a friend who asked me a question about QuestGuru and I didn't know the correct answer to give.

She wants to know if she can only use the QuestGuru Tracker by itself. The only folder she wanted to add to her addons folder was QuestGuru Tracker and enable that in the addons window.

Is this possible or does the QuestGuru Tracker also need to have the main QuestGuru folder as well?

I posted a reply on Curse. Just wanted to say here too -- Thanks for the update Sir! =)

AlexSUCF,

In your Questguru_Tracker folder look for these three files:

QGT_Achievements.lua
QGT_Quests.lua
QuestGuru_Tracker.lua

And in your QuestGuru folder look for QuestGuru.lua file

In each of those files just do a text search for ChatFrameEditBox and replace with ChatFrame1EditBox.

Worked for me. I was able to link quests and achievements like normal again.

My QuestGuru_Tracker.lua actually didn't have anything to change but the other three files did. Not many actual changes 2-4 per file that's it.

Make sure you make backups first...just in case. And of course, edit these when you are completely exited out of game, make changes, save them, then log in again.

EDIT: What I do notice though is this is not the "best fix" I don't think. Reason I say this is because with how the new default chat window works, I can no longer remove achievements and quests "directly from the tracker" anymore because when I try all it wants to do is print the quest/achieve title in the chat box.

At least it doesn't work for me unless I'm doing something wrong. I don't often remove things from the tracker directly so I may have the key-commands messed up; but as far as being able to link quests and achievements again, this works.

Galvin: Can you post your fix for those of us who can't figure it out?

Shift left click on quest entry causes an error:
Message: InterfaceAddOnsQuestGuruQuestGuru.lua:252: attempt to index global 'ChatFrameEditBox' (a nil value)

Someone posted how to fix this
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=25559986425&postId=255576162547&sid=1#0

Also a feature reqeust, when shift left clicking on a header for a bunch of quest be greate if it could toggle them all on/off in the display. I'm pretty sure this was possible over a year ago then you broke it somewhere along the line.

Actually this does work, but it collapses instead of just toggling off/on

I think I fixed the error by replacing all ChatFrameEditBox with ChatFrame1EditBox

I like the history list very much. It's especially cool if your going for the 3000 quests completed achievement and you can't remember in which zones you have quested.
A couple of quick questions:
Is it possible to add a filter button to hide the quests I already have completed?
Can you make the search field work for zone names too?
Can you make a keybinding option for the history list?
And... as it is right now, when you log on and are tracking both quests and achievements, QuestGuru shows the achievement list. Can you make it show the quest list as default?

Thx in advance. Really love this addon.

Great quest log replacement - really like the history pane. One question, any way to make this more seamless with TomTom? With Blizzard's tracker pane, I can Ctrl-Right Click on the quest and create a waypoint arrow. But I can't seem to make that happen with QuestGuru's tracking pane.

Just a stupid question, when I working update my zhTW locale for QuestGuru, I found something is weird. In QuestGuru_History.toc, why the version is "2.0", not "1.4"? It confused me...

EDIT : I found the Quest history list is looks like "hardcored"... how should I locale it...?
EDIT 2 : I got it, but... holy shit...what a HUGE work... O_o"
EDIT 3 : I think I should skip this right now, because Blizzard will updated A LOT OF old areas/quests in Patch 4.0...hmm...

Thank you, Mr. O'Brian, for adding back the History button. I've been using version 2.0 all along because of that feature, but recently the tracker began interfering with Gatherer, popping LUA error windows whenever I put the cursor over a quest in the log. I can't wait to download the new version tonight.

Ever since you took down 2.0, I've been using just the tracker without the rest of the mod because of the entire quest log thing being missing. With its return, I'm definitely going back to the intended use of the mod. :D

ok cool thanks.

i have 2 thing 1 i keep getting this error:
Error: attempt to call global 'QuestHonorFrame_Update' (a nil value)

also is there away to rmoved the acheivement tracker all together? i ask casue i have an achievem listed in my tracker that i cant get ride of. i never tracked it in the 1st place and now its ALWAYS there.

Hi again.

Oh, I didn't know there was any problems with your dailies tracker; I never experienced any myself. It worked fine for me.

Alright, well thanks for the reply and for the tip about the tracker positions. Didn't you say a long while ago that if people wanted they could actually separate the quest and achievement tracker to have both shown on screen at one time? I didn't find that post. I don't actually want to separate them myself but after what you said about the addon remembering two different tracker positions it reminded me of that feature.

MrO'Brian,

I am having an issue with the tracker jumping down and to the left at times even though it's pinned. It's when I switch from Achievement tab to Quest tab. I cannot always reproduce it so I have no clue what the issue is but a relog usually fixes it.

The feature I missed from 2.+ series was how you had a separate tab for tracking dailies in the questlog. Any chance of that coming back? That was quite handy.

OK, I am an insane idiot who is trying to do every quest available in the game. I *LOVED* the fact that 2.0 queried the server for a quest history rather than depending on a locally saved one since I play on multiple computers. Are there any plans on bringing this feature back in the 1.x series? Please, please, please!

support with mobmap questbuttons please

I've noticed some issues, too, since 3.3.3 has come out, but the tracker is still working fine for me, even though I may need to click on the quest giver a few times before he talks to me. Not sure if that it a QuestGuru issue, or something else, as a guildie is having the same issue, and I don't think he uses QuestGuru.

i hope we can get a fix for this. i hat using the ingame tracker and i have not found an other quest addon that is as good as this one.

Every time I take a quest of type "Cooking", I get the NIL error and QG completely bugs out, not even showing the quest in my tracker. The one for turtle meat in Southshore from the cook is an example.

@brykrys, thanks for that workaround.

I'm getting this error now every time I turn in a quest, and then questguru stops updating until I reload UI

I'm experiencing the same issue as kernighan, every time I log out and back in, questguru switches to tracking achievements rather than Quests as I left it, an update/fix for this would be appreciated...

thanks!

haivng an issue as of today. the tracked will NOT go were its told to. i loged in today and the tracker is covering my minimap. so i UNpin it and drag it to where i want it to go. as soon as i move the mous it gos back to covering my minimap again. any ideas what woudl casue this and how to fix it

Some other addons also have the feature of showing all quests and use the server query to show what you've done already. One is MobMap, which is available at http://www.mobmap.de. But as EveryQuest works along with QG I don't think it would be wise to include a huge quest database in QG unless you plan to use databases for other languages than english. Also those database files need to get updated frequently. And even then it does not always work as Blizzard changes quests and quest IDs sometimes. I noticed many small problems when using EveryQuest.
I would recommend to get QG working first as there are many problems with the taints mentioned.

@MrOBrian: You mean other than EveryQuest proper?
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/everyquest.aspx

@BloodWolfe: there is a workaround for the "Character Specific Keybindings" problem:
In the keybindings page turn "Character Specific Keybindings" off, then find the QuestGuru keybinding and make sure it is bound to a key; accept all changes. It should stick, though you'll then need to log in to each Alt and turn "Character Specific Keybindings" off for them too.

Just a heads up that there are taint issues at least for some people with version 1.3.


@MrOBrian: I have posted more details (including a couple logs) at the wowi comment section.

For the moment I've gone back to v2.0 beta2 that doesn't seem to suffer the issue.

An annoying bug: If you are tracking an achievement and quests, and you have the quests side of things selected, if you log out and then back in, the tracker switches to the achievements side of things. This is 100% reproducible.

I was wondering if you can fix this addon so it does NOT force the "Character Specific Keybindings" option. I tested the few addons I have and this is the only one that changed that setting for me in my keybindings and it is quite annoying as on most of my characters I do not use character specific keybindings but for some reason this addon forces that option on and checks the box for me. I can uncheck it and log out but when I log it, it is checked again automatically. Can you please fix this?

Tnx for getting back to me MrObrian. Well, I did abandon a PVP quest recently, 2 of them actually; the 2 you get from the Battleground NPC - Daily "Call to Arms: Arathi Basin" and "Concentrated Effort". A while back I also abandoned 1 or 2 from WG, but the other 2 are more recent. Let me know if you need anything else.

Am been having problems with QuestGure 1.3 in the last few days.
When logging in I receive a message -

Thanks.

PS. I deleted all folders b4 installing 1.3, and it was working fine until a few days ago.

@warderbrad: Did you delete all QuestGuru folders inside your addon folder before installing QG 1.3?

is anyone else having an issue when trying to view the quest log? I am both trying to use the keybind key and the button and the left click of the quest name in the tracker and all result in no log opening up. If I log out and disable QG it then is able to load the log. I am using QG 1.3 however I am not receiving any specific error messages.

Two things I noticed so far. The MobMap icons are not in the right place in the quest description of the questlog. And the daily quest tab is not implemented.

Happy new year everyone, that's the first good news for 2010. I really missed the features of QG 1.x. Maybe I can modify my testcode to query the history from the server and at least get the quest names so that this can be included in QG to make it a little less dependent from the saved variables.

Just wanted to let you know I love this add-on; both versions. What I like most about 2.0 is that my quest history comes from the server; I play on two different computers and I don't always know which ones I have done and which I still need to do.

thanks for your continued work on QG. I didn't mind the version 2 but missed some of the features of the 1 series. So I am glad you have gone back.

Hearing that the 2.0 line of QG has ended has really bummed me out. To be completely honest, I stopped using QG after its expansion into 11 different mods; it became, quite simply, ugly to have all those addons unnecessarily clogging up the list. And the mod itself wasn't what I enjoyed in the past.

I decided to give 2.0 a shot and loved it. It was everything I remembered and more. I've been very lazy lately when it comes to updating my addons - once I got ones that worked with 3.3, I couldn't be arsed to download new updates. But when I saw that QG updated, I immediately clicked on the link.

Right now, all I can say is that I hope the "unpopularity" of 2.0 is merely the sign of a very vocal minority, and that people who like 2.0 will come out of the woodworks now that we're losing that mod.

If nothing else, please make an archival copy of 2.0, so that people can choose which they prefer?

I noticed in a lot of the quest text. Where it shows the rewards or things needed when you mouse over then. The word discription is always in one of them.

Ah... I didn't know the expand/collapse all button was blizzards. Well i'm missing it :)

I have a problem: I can't "fold" all the quests, only one at a time??

@MrObrian - I understand your point, but I'm one of the rare breed. When I update my mods, I do everything manually, I delete ALL the old folders then I unzip the program, thus creating new folders each time. So I'm doing what you asked and I still got the error. Sorry that it took a week to get back, but work has kept me busy lately and I haven't been able to play for the last week.

Anyway you can make the questlog draggable

Thanks

v2.0 BUG: The Share|Abandon|Track buttons become unclickable/disabled
when there are not enough quests in questlog to require a scrollbar.

Hmm, curious why might revive 1.2 instead of porting old tracking to new version? It seems there are ways to modify the existing UI, you've added your own history button, Auctionneer adds tabs... could their method work on this Blizzard Quest Log frame as well? You're the author, the one doing the work, I'm just curious :)
