WowAce

Has anyone found anything that does the same things as this (or close to it) that is currently being updated and supported?

It seems that this great addon is no longer updated by the author, which is sad. Hopefully someone with the knowledge in making addons will continue the work, preferably with the author's permission. Never the less, it would be great to have someone update it.

I'm getting the following error:

This is fixed by Aurelathor in a comment below, but it seems that's not the only error.

Thanks so much for the fixes.. I love the addon and it's working again just fine. :)

I am getting the following error message each time i log on. What do i need to do to correct the line 488?

killertunes, in the replies to my fix Keryn_TB posted the correction that needs to be made. Here it is again...

To get rid of the error change:

if questIndex
local questTitle, level, _, isHeader, _, _, _ = GetQuestLogTitle(questIndex);

to be

if questIndex then
local questTitle, level, _, isHeader, _, _, _ = GetQuestLogTitle(questIndex);

I'll give her a go tonight. Thanks for the information.

I implemented the fix that Aurelathor posted. I am now receiving this error.

I have just had to stop using this because it was making my screen freeze momentarily after every kill. I am now wondering if that was when it was updating the quest?
Do you think this could be so and that your patch would fix that?

Lininjim, if you haven't followed the instructions below the addon shouldn't even be working. If you followed them below I'm not sure what would be causing that "pause" as I haven't noticed it myself. Although, since it was a quick fix it is entirely possible that it was caused by it.

To get Minimalist working again, open the Minimalist.lua file on your computer and replace the Minimalist:QuestLog_Update() function with the one below. I had to mostly rebuild it by deconstructing Blizzard's current UI code. Originally Grennon used a constant and now that constant no longer exists, additionally it wasn't setting the text right for some reason but this should fix that as well.

function Minimalist:QuestLog_Update()
local numEntries, numQuests = GetNumQuestLogEntries();
local scrollOffset = HybridScrollFrame_GetOffset(QuestLogScrollFrame);
local buttons = QuestLogScrollFrame.buttons;
local numButtons = #buttons;
local questIndex, questLogTitle, titleWidth;
for i=1, numButtons do
questLogTitle = buttons[i];
questIndex = i + scrollOffset;
questLogTitle:SetID(questIndex);
if questIndex <= numQuests+2 then
local questTitle, level, _, isHeader, _, _, _ = GetQuestLogTitle(questIndex);
if level > 0 and questTitle then
questLogTitle:SetText("["..level.."]"..questTitle);
QuestLogTitleButton_Resize(questLogTitle);
end
end
end
end

Getting this now:

Minimalist-6.0.0\Minimalist.lua:473: 'then' expected near 'local'

Thanks, this helps lots.

To get rid of the error mentioned above, I changed:

if questIndex
local questTitle, level, _, isHeader, _, _, _ = GetQuestLogTitle(questIndex);

to be

if questIndex then
local questTitle, level, _, isHeader, _, _, _ = GetQuestLogTitle(questIndex);

Thanks :)

Sorry, I didnt catch that til after I posted and didn't think to update the post.

Aw, now I'm just getting a different error:

Replace the line

SlashCmdList["MINIMALIST"] = function() InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(self.ACD.BlizOptions["Minimalist"].frame) end

with

SlashCmdList["MINIMALIST"] = function() InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory("Minimalist") end

update plox

Update this great addon please
