QuestItemBar

Table of Contents

About QuestItemBar

Automatically shows a bar with buttons for the quest items you possess. It looks similar to a standard action bar. It is based on Ace3 and various embedded libraries provided by the Ace-community.

Features

Behaves more or less like any standard action button.
ButtonFacade support.
LibDataBroker launcher.
Show all or only usable quest items.
Sort items in order usable - not usable - quest starter
Indicate if a item starts a new quest.
Display quest name and objective status in tooltip if information found.
Better handling of keybinds. If a quest item is no longer in possesion the keybind will be cleared instead of jumping to another item. If the player gets the previously keybound item again it will be bound again.
Should work on any WoW language client. Please report if it doesn't.

Configuration

Open a configuration dialog using the commands "/qib config" or "/QuestItemBar config" or by clicking the LDB launcher. Or simply use the standard interface -> addons menu.
Configuration can be done using commands too. /qib <command>. Write /qib to show available commands.
Change the direction (growth) by right clicking on the anchor.

Bug reports and feature requests

Please use the Ticket system. If you use it there is a higher probability that something will be fixed or implemented.

Looking for Authors

Because Nickenyfiken doesn't play and my timeslots are too small to implement new features, we are looking for Authors. I try to keep the project up to date and fixing bugs, but new features are not planned in near feature.

Addon still pretty much works in 4.0.1. One error I see is in the options to list items.

Was able to add by dragging, but unable to remove items by dragging. You mentioned to drag the same item to remove it, but I dont have the quest item anymore in the bags. Can I still remove it somehow? Thanks.

This is a handy addon. I like the add/remove and the out of range features. Any chance of getting this to work with a cool down addon like OmniCC? That would really polish it up nicely. :)

click dragging does NOT work. I can neither add nor remove items from the bar. Does this process require a key combination?

Hi marblex,

Nope, no key combination. Just drag the item from your bags to anywhere (any visible item) on the quest item bar.

i've been looking lof this type of addon. I have autobar, but it shows all items usable or not. I do have a taint error and I'll open up a bug track.

Although this is aimed at quest items i assume that as you can manually add items to the bar that you can actually track anything. Was wondering if in a future release you would add the ability to show items on a LDB like Titan Panel. They dont have to be clickable but tracking things like Relics on Titan would be very handy.

Was also wondering how you remove items that are manually added to the bar. Putting them back on the ignore list seems to only remove certain things & leave others. Possibly due to the error maybe?

Theres a addon called Broker_Itemlist http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/broker-itemlist.aspx which seems very similar to this that is for tracking items but the text on the LDB doesnt stay in the bar sadly, however it does use a similar method of adding / removing items.

Anyway, thought id ask just on the off chance that you really bored one day & fancy combining the two :)

1) I could do that. But I feel it is out of the scope of this addon. Although it has a LDB launcher, it is only for options. I would suggest that you try to get the author of Broker_Itemlist to fix it, looks like a good addon.

2) In the latest versions you can drag any item and drop it anywhere on the bar and it will always be show. Drag the same item again and it will be removed. Also if you drag a item that is currently on the bar (a quest item), it will be ignored.

Thanks for the report Zidomo.

I guess I had forgot that AceLocale breaks when packaging the addon if translations are missing. Been away from coding addons for a while.

I'll look into the CPU usage ASAP. Haven't made any profiling.

Two different issues with r50 upgraded from r45, so posting here instead of separate tickets. USEnglish client/server, WoW 3.3.5a live.

1) A big spam of 11 different AceLocale errors with QuestItemBar logging on with r50:

["message"] = "AceLocale-3.0: QuestItemBar: Missing entry for 'Items per row/column':\nQuestItemBar-r50\\Options.lua:149: in main chunk\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["session"] = 659, ["counter"] = 1, }, -- [199] ["message"] = "AceLocale-3.0: QuestItemBar: Missing entry for 'Number of items before a new row/column is created. 0 = No limit.':\nQuestItemBar-r50\\Options.lua:150: in main chunk\n\n ---", ["type"] = "error", ["session"] = 659, ["counter"] = 1, }, -- [200]

and so on.

2) The new LibQuestItem-1.0 library that QuestItemBar r46-r50 are using seems like a nice idea. What's not so nice: it seems to be continually scanning things, thus using CPU time.

Testing r10 standalone, it uses 0.100-0.110 CPU/second when a character is idle. Not much, but its still the only library/library system I've seen lately besides Ace3 that uses CPU when idle.

Moving back to using r45 (been a big fan/long time user of this mod) until these issues can be looked at.

I figured it was something like that, I'm not a coder, but I play one on TV!

:) Okay, no I don't, but I do know some and that sort of thing will happen. And as you fixed it so quickly (no doubt having gotten more sleep prior to the fix!) all is right with the QuestItemBar universe.

Or something. 8)
