BetterQuest
BetterQuest provides an improved quest tracker, and enhances the blizzard quest log.
If other people in your party are using BetterQuest, FuBar_QuestFu, or anything else that uses the LibQuixote-2.0 library, it'll display their quest status.
It can automatically track quests when you get near them, play sounds when you complete quests, and do other wild and wacky things.
hi thank your addon.
Asks the party to the enhancement of the quest progress information during the party .
Currently, the only guidance are possible during the party , random dungeons if you have additional information in the instance dungeons is possible.
update plz.
Thank you
Hello, how do I collapse the quest tracker when using this addon? I tried enabling the header, which added a red button that looks like it's a collapsible sign. But clicking on it does nothing. :(
Changes to the use of quest items directly from the quest menu forces disabling of the tracker. Otherwise you get spammed with, "BetterQuest has been blocked from an action that is *ONLY* for the Blizzard UI."
EDIT 12/29/14: Every time a new quest is accepted that involves the use of a quest item, you are forced to reload the UI or else you will be absolutely spam-deluged with, "That is *ONLY* available from the DEFAULT Blizzard UI." This is true even with all components of the tracker disabled.I don't know why they have such a grudge against this one addon but they're going miles out of their way to make problems for it. Fortunately this workaround is usually no more than a nuisance; I just hope Blizzard doesn't throw another monkey wrench into the pot.
Glad to see there is a new alpha version that makes BetterQuest work again. Still I find I am unable to use the Tracked tracker, but since Full and Tracked seem to be pretty much the same its not a huge problem since I am able to use Full. Additionally I have found that Blizz has changed something that prevents .mp3 files from play and so now all sound files appear to have to be converted to .ogg. This seems to restore their ability to play in game.
Thanks for this addon and the recent alpha update.
This addon is great, only quest minion i can see that allows you to tracks quests when you get progress in them instead of when you accept them, making the tracked quest list smaller.
I do have two problems with it however, the first is not a huge deal, and the second is a bigger problem.
Both these problems you can see doing the quest "The Kessel Run" in Bloodmyst Isle". The first minor problem is that the "sink" module doesn't post results on progress, i've noticed this with a few quests but only seems to happen on quests were you dont actually kill or pick up anything, such as when you just have to be around for something to happen. This forces me to disable the "sink" module and uncheck the "supress default" option, otherwise i have either 2 messages on screen or none depending on the setting.
The 2nd problem is the timer doesn't show up anywhere on screen. The timer is now a part of the QuestWatcher frame in WoW and since i've disabled it to use your tracker, i dont see it. If i turn on the default tracker then i have two trackers, which i dont want. The only real solution for this would be to disable your tracker alltogether and use the default blizz one but i dont want to do that. Also, is there a way to auto track timed quests too?
A nice feature would be to add the quest timer to the left of the quest in the tracker if possible, pr possibly at the bottom/top of the window depending on which way the window grows.
My wife and I just installed this and grouped up. I can't see any of her quests, let alone her status on the quest objectives.
The description says "If other people in your party are using BetterQuest, FuBar_QuestFu, or anything else that uses the LibQuixote-2.0 library, it'll display their quest status," but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing an option that isn't on by default?

Just installed, when full quest tracker is enabled framerate drops like a stone, goes back to normal when only tracker for tracked items is shown. I made sure its the only quest addon enabled to avoid conflicts.
I can't reproduce that -- no change at all in my framerate when I enable the "full" tracker.
2 requests. Can you make the sound goto teh master channel as many of us do not play with sound effects on? , also can you add an auto quest accept and turn in?
I just tried this. It duplicates my quest list on screen, one i can move around and has nice small font, the other is fixed in the centre of the game screen. I'm sure this cant be normal, can anyone help?
one is the full tracker the other is teh tacker, open the gui for better quest and goto trackers.
Hello. I have found a very annoying bug where the quest tracker tries to over-ride what quest I want to complete by automatically switching it back to a certain quest I don't want to do at the moment. I have to go to the map and sometimes manually click "Track Quest" and click on the quest I want to do or else the add-on will over-ride it sometimes.
Are you using something else to get the scenario objectives? Not popping up for me even after wiping settings.

They're all the same. Packager got weird.
What the hell? there are v5 release, v5a beta and v5 alpha, which one is latest one and I should download, WTF?
Made a ticket of error after quest acceptance that keeps poping up. It actually comes other places too but i just noticed it there more :) Thanks!

That one is tricky! It's the Cross Realm Zone stuff; when you change realms you get a sudden burst of events saying that you've lost and then regained all your quests and skills. (If you have an addon that notifies you of skill gains, for instance, you'll see a spam of messages about that as well.)
I'm sort of hoping that Blizzard will fix that. If they haven't in a few weeks, I'll likely do it myself.
would anyone know what would cause thsi to work on all but 2 toons (total of 10) all same server, all setting apprear to match. the parts not working is the scrolling text and the audio of quest complete?
Just wanted to make a quick post to report a possible bug. I am hoping that your still updating this addon as I do see the most recent version is an alpha for 5.0.4. The bug I am experiencing is that when I change zones it repeats the quest complete sound along with the text pop up that you see in the middle of your screen (i'm assuming that it does that through the scrolling combat text or whatever interface that Blizzard uses for that.)
Keep up the good work I love this addon.
