What does it do?

World Map & Minimap Display

Displays a (!) on your world map and minimap where quest givers appear in game (if an NPC has more then 1 location, the mark on the map is averaged so it might not be spot on all the time). Icons can be hidden on each map individually and also based on if you are tracking low level quests.

Quest History

As you complete quests and EveryQuest logs them, the minimap and world map update and remove completed quests from being displayed.

Integration

Due to the nature of this being a module of EveryQuest, you can filter what gets shown on maps using EveryQuest filters. Additional category filters are made available for just the Quest Givers module. Any NPC can be sent to TomTom or hidden (by setting the quests that the NPC gives to ignored status in EveryQuest) by right clicking the icon on the World Map.

Filters

The Quest Givers module uses EveryQuests filtering system along with additional category filters on the Quest Givers option pane. You can also set Quest Givers to ignore EveryQuest's status filter and use its own status filter (Hides all completed and in progress quests).

Hiya,

It would be very cool if i could only show the icons on the main map and not the minimap. Is there an option to do that?

cheers for a great addon

I like this addon so far, but I've run into a problem. In the interface >> EveryQuest >> QuestGivers, I see an area labeled 'Toggle Showing of Categories' that seems to let me sort professions, class, etc, but this entire area is grayed out and I see no option that will activate it. How can I activate this sorting option?

I have been unseccessful in filtering out the display of exclamation marks on my maps for quests I had already completed prior to installing this add.

I've tried downloading quest history for the EveryQuest mod, but that doesn't seem to impact the QuestGivers one.

I like the idea, but as it is, this add-on is unusable.

Any suggestions?

Hey,
I tried to change the opacity of the signs on the fly by typing this in the Chat:

/script EveryQuest.dbpc:GetNamespace("QuestGivers", false).profile.icon_alpha = 0.0

But unfortunately it is not using the new value without a /reload.
Does someone have an idea how to switch the signs on and off by pressing a key?

Hi,
would it be possible to choose a different size and oppacity for the worldmap and the minimap?
Because on the minimap I want the signs to be small so that I don't confuse them with the normal "Questgiver"-Sign. But the same size is not really visible on the Worldmap.

This is simply doesn't do what is needed. Having to pick through all the completed quests to find the new ones... Might as well look on alakazam etc, plus a lot of other programs do the same thing, just in a more intuitive manner. The filters don't seem to actually filter anything out. It also lists a LOT as unknown status, again too many to want to pick through.

This may seem like an odd request but would you please implement (if you can, not sure how much is done by Handynotes) an option to change the mark used for the quest-givers from the quest giver mark. My issue that I have allowing this program to run while I am currently questing is not being able to easily tell where I can actually currently get quests vs people who have quests that I can't actually get it now.

The image used for the icon is stored in the /Artwork subdirectory, and is named quest.tga

You can replace that image, and it will use your replacement as the questgiver icon. For instance, I copied GoldGreenDot.tga from the TomTom addon, and renamed it Quest.tga. Now, the questgivers appear as little green dots, instead of the confusing !

By the way, if you use that same image, setting the icon size to 1.75 and the alpha to .5 makes the green dots easily visible on your map, but makes it extremely simple to see the real quest giver icons through them.

What I would like is an option to draw the icons on the main map, but not on the minimap. That way, I could open my main map to check out the location of quest givers I've missed, but without the confusing clutter on my minimap.

Definitely. (and/or just building into the code the ability to change the image and alpha from in-game)

around line 321:
notice the questCounter - 1
also "unknown quest name" is for the safety - sometimes questNames[i] has nil value

for i = 0, questCounter - 1 do
if questNames[i] ~= nil then
tooltip:AddLine( " " .. questNames[i], 1, 1, 1 )
else
tooltip:AddLine( " " .. "unknown quest name", 1, 1, 1 )

addon.lua line5:

--local LibQTip = LibStub('LibQTip-1.0')

if you disable something, disable it completely :D otherwise addon crashes if you don't have LibQTip somewhere.
