Moncai Quest Tracker

Moncai Quest Tracker

I have been developing my modified quest tracker over the past few years. Each time Blizzard updated it's tracker, I updated mine with it. Coded from the ground up again for patch 3.3 and adapted to 4.0.1, I'm releasing it here so others may benefit.

New release

Beta 4.0.1 is live and fixes issues with some quests and adds the option to show quest ID's
Beta 4.0.0 is live and should fix (hopefully all) Cataclysm incompatibilities.
Beta 3.3.3.2 (r36) is live. This fixes Questguru compatibility, collapsed tracker width and re-introduces the buddy system (at a basic level).

Current features

New: Tracker is optionally movable and you may choose to display Item buttons on the left side, see config (/mqt) under "Placement"
Tracker shows levels and colors but still stays true to the original by Blizzard
Includes all the questing goodies Blizzard has put into the 3.3.3 update
If you quest with someone else who has this tracker, you can track their progress
Works with QuestHelper 1.3.x, reflecting the order in which to do the quests (version 1.3.10 tested)
Works with Tourguide style addons by using built-in proximity sorting
Shift-click a header in the Questlog to toggle the watches for all quests under that header
Access the configuration screen by typing /mqt in the chat window or via "Game Menu"-"Interface"-"Addons"
A few features I have missed

QuestHelper integration

For a successfull integration with QuestHelper, please mind the following things:

Please use version 1.3.7 or higher of QuestHelper
Make sure it's enabled in the configuration screen (type /mqt to access it)
Disable the built-in tracker of QuestHelper, either via it's configuration menu or via the slash command "/qh track" (without the quotes).

Since QuestHelper is no longer actively developed, you may also want to disable the integration and then Right-Click the WatchFrame header ("Objectives") and in the pop-up menu select "Proximity" under "Sort Quests". Tip: this also works well with Tourguide based addons

Upcoming features

For now I consider the tracker fairly feature-complete except for the buddy leveling-system which I hope to extend in the future. If you have ideas, feel free to create a ticket on wowace describing your wanted feature.

Beta, what does that mean?

Oh yes, there will be bugs! Since I am only one person it's impossible for me to test every setup or addon-combination. If you like, please give it a try, and help me make the addon better. Your feedback is kindly appreciated!

Feedback

Your feedback is important! Please submit bugreports, localizations in your language and suggestions. Have a problem? Please create a ticket on wowace. Like my addon? Tell others :D

This looks like exactly the addon I was looking for, but I already know the inability to move the panel will be a problem in my UI.

Is there a way to move the quest tracker frame? Maybe I'm just completely over looking the obvious but I can't seem to figure out a way to move it around.

I can't move the tracker at all and it's stuck in an unusable location. I filed a ticket and I hope you will fix this soon.

I'd like to be able to move and resize the tracker. I know I've already added my comment on the bug report but figured I'd add it here as well, hopefully to encourage others to add their requests as well.

Thanks for the new version, all seems to be working fine, although I can't seem to find any way to either move or resize the objectives frame. Am I missing something somewhere? In the absence of a working MQT I've been using CT Mods objectives settings that allowed me to resize, move and lock the objectives frame.

The new version is up or will be momentarily. Thank you for your patience!

@Artkarate: The new version wasn't up yet when you posted. As I stated it needed a rewrite. Therefore your (long) posts were obsolete and thus deleted. And in the future: Please use the ticket system for long error posts. Thank you!

after a short dig through code i found that WATCHFRAMELINES_XOFFSET only apears once

maxFrameWidth = self:GetWidth() - WATCHFRAMELINES_XOFFSET;

with no declaration or initialazation (eerrr im a noob coder so i hope that is the right termanology), after adding

local WATCHFRAMELINES_XOFFSET = 0;

im now told the same error but with WATCHFRAME_QUESTTIMER_HEIGHT

wish me luck finding all occurences

You got these errors because the old version was written for 3.2 and was not compatible with 3.3 since Blizzard changed their tracker code a lot *again*. The missing variables were global variables Blizzard had defined in 3.2 but are gone now. You can stop trying to fix the old version and enjoy the new one instead :).

MQt is currently in internal testing. It will once again sit nicely between the standard tracker and Questhelper, bringing you the merits of both. Parts were rewritten from te ground up to blend with the new features introduced by Blizzard in 3.3.

Will this be updated anytime soon to work with Patch 3.3? I'm getting the following error in 3.3

.\AddOns\MoncaiQuestTracker\WatchFrame.lua line 191: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'WATCHFRAMELINES_XOFFSET' (a nil value) Debug: [C]: ? MoncaiQuestTracker\WatchFrame.lua:191: WatchFrame_Update() ..\FrameXML\WatchFrame.lua:263: ..\FrameXML\WatchFrame.lua:223 [C]: SetMapToCurrentZone()

Thanks for looking and if it isn't going to be updated thanks for the good work in the past.
