WowAce

Same, hoping someone will come a long with a fix for it :(

I'm getting the following error whenever I talk to an NPC:

..\AddOns\FuBar_QuestsFu\Blizz\Blizz.lua line 197:
bad argument #2 to 'format' (number expected, got nil)

That line contains the following code:

button:SetText(format('[%d] %s', select(i, ...), button:GetText()))

The problem seems to be twofold. On the one hand, the button:GetText() returns nil in some cases and on the other hand it seems that GetGossipAvailableQuests() no longer returns triplets (title, level, isLowLevel) per Quest. Trying to do the daily fishing quest in Dalaran I get (Dangerously Delicious, -1, nil, 1, nil). As there is not yet any information available on what each of these fields means, for the time being the easiest fix is probably to add

--[[ as the first line of the function and ]] at the end before the return

local function gossip_loop(buttonindex, do_texture, ...)
--[[
local numQuests = select('#', ...)

[snip]

end
]]
return buttonindex + 1
end

Ok, I've looked up some changes in the API (and updated the wowwiki.com pages in the process).

This fix works for me. Replace the three functions in FuBar_QuestFu\Blizz\Blizz.lua with the three below:

local function gossip_loop(available, buttonindex, do_texture, ...)
-- GetGossipAvailableQuests() returns Quintuplets
-- GetGossipActiveQuests() returns Quatruplets
local step = 4 -- match for active
if available then
step = 5
end
local numQuests = select('#', ...)
if (numQuests > 1) then
for i=1, numQuests, step do
local button = _G["GossipTitleButton"..buttonindex]
local title = select(i, ...)
local level = select(i+1, ...)
button:SetText(format('[%d] %s', level, title))
if do_texture then
local texture = _G["GossipTitleButton"..buttonindex.."GossipIcon"]
local _,_,_,_,_,objectives,complete = quixote:GetQuest(select(i-1, ...))
if complete==1 or objectives==0 then
texture:SetDesaturated(false)
else
texture:SetDesaturated(true)
end
end
buttonindex = buttonindex + 1
end
end
return buttonindex + 1
end

function QuestsFu_Blizz:GOSSIP_SHOW()
local buttonindex = 1
if GetGossipAvailableQuests() then
buttonindex = gossip_loop(true, buttonindex, false, GetGossipAvailableQuests())
end
if GetGossipActiveQuests() then
buttonindex = gossip_loop(false, buttonindex, true, GetGossipActiveQuests())
end
end

Correction:

The line

local _,_,_,_,_,objectives,complete = quixote:GetQuest(select(i-1, ...))

must be

local _,_,_,_,_,objectives,complete = quixote:GetQuest(select(i, ...))

I've been having this same problem. Will there be an update to include this soon? You say to change the 3 functions but I only see 2 (local function gossip_loop... and function QuestsFu_Blizz:GOSSIP_SHOW...) plus I don't know how to indent the lines since I know nothing about lua

Yes, it is extremely buggy since patch 3.3.2. Quests not tracking, tracking the wrong part of a questline, no completion notification, tracking quests already completed, etc....very buggy. I just turned it off for now 'cause there's no point in having it on.

Well, since disabling this addon...I'm not sure if it's a problem specific to this addon. It may be the quest feature overall within WoW that may be buggy since the latest patch. Since disabling QuesFu, even the default regular quest log is buggy. Not as buggy as QuestFu....but I've seen it not pick up some quests or track some quests. I haven't looked at the official WoW boards to see if a bug has been reported, or is known, regarding the quest features.

Alright, confirmed that this issue is NOT related to addons. I disabled everyone single one of my addons and the problem persisted. It looks like it may possibly be a Blizzard quest helper feature issue, as a lot of people are reporting it.

Yeah its doing the same for me atm

Since patch 3.3.2 I have difficulty with quest tracking and quests not showing up in my quest log. This problem shows both in Carbonite and QuestFu which I run in parallel.

Has anyone else noticed this? Have there been changes in the quest related API?

I'm running v3.3 and it's exhibiting some funny behavior. Namely, the Autowatch appears to ignore my settings, or some of them, and watches new quests whether I have it checked or not. In addition, it autowatches the wrong quests. When I pick up a new quest, or progress on a quest, the notification (via SCT) is accurate, but the quest that gets added to the tracker is the one listed directly below the correct quest in the quest log.

Not getting any errors, and adding quests by hand (ALT+click) works just fine.

Thanks so much, Kemayo.

Thanks for update:)

I get the same error as Fermat and kaimon, it appears to be only related to

237 -- Add quest givers to the quest log

so not sure if this part is needed unless you want the quest log (L) to have the name of the quest giver. Any ideas if this can be removed? :)

You can comment out lines 243-246 as such:

--if name and givers and givers.db.char.questgivers[name] then
--local questObjectives = QuestLogObjectivesText:GetText()
--QuestLogObjectivesText:SetText(givers.db.char.questgivers[name] .. '\n\n' .. questObjectives)
--end

In theory, disabling the givers option in the right click menu should have prevented this from ever executing, but for some reason that option won't disable...

ruRU locale. I get this bug when i open quests by quest tracker.

Hey - Im running r421 and when i pick up a quest i get the following error

UPDATE

I deleted the folder called Blizz inside Fubar_QuestFU folder and now it works without errors

Teuras tip worked - thank you! - but now I'm getting the following error:
[2009/12/15 05:18:56-175-x1]: FuBar_QuestsFu-r43802\Blizz\Blizz.lua:244: attempt to index global 'QuestLogObjectivesText' (a nil value)

I can't find anything about this error.

Ideas anybody?

It appears this fixed it for me:

change "local questObjectives = QuestLogObjectivesText:GetText()"
to "local questObjectives = QuestLogObjectivesText:SetText(questObjectives)"

The error i get is the following:

Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue but perhaps someone that knows more then me can look at this and suggest a possible fix.
