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.

You read my mind, add keyring to function CheckBags(),

-- keyring (32)
bagIndex = -2
for bagSlot = 1, GetContainerNumSlots(bagIndex) do
itemLink = GetContainerItemLink(bagIndex, bagSlot)
CheckAndAddItem(itemLink)
end

-- other (28)
bagIndex = -1
for bagSlot = 1, GetContainerNumSlots(bagIndex) do
itemLink = GetContainerItemLink(bagIndex, bagSlot)
CheckAndAddItem(itemLink)
end

Thank you for this little addon, it's great. Is there an option that I'm missing that allows you to add items to it? I don't have anything I want to ignore, but I do need to add items.

I just stumbled over your addon and find it very useful. The only thing I'd wish is an option to configure multiple rows/cols.
But it's a great mod as is. Thank you :)

Love this addon :) It would be nice if tooltips were optional as you recognize most items from the icons after a while and the tooltip isn't really needed.

Thanks a lot :)

Just like to thank the author for this addon.

Saves me a bar in BT4 (as a Druid I need them!) as well as finding the items and putting on a bar.

Many thanks :)

Also noticed some quest items not showing in the bar.

Gordawg's Boulder - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24501
Kil'sorrow Banner - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25555
Warmaul Ogre Banner - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25552

as a few examples although there are others.

Dont know what the difference between these items & other quest items are for them not to show up. Also happens with drops that start quests. Some pop up in QuestItemBar, others do not.

All the best, Reeb.

I'm afraid it is not that easy. The problem is that blizzard does not classify them as quest items for some stupid reason. I think the only way solve this is to make a list of items.

Items that starts quests should show up now (latest alpha). If not please give a example item.

I noticed too. Some items have an old bug with GetItemInfo() when it returns some quest items as consumables. The type and subtype returned by the function could by either "quest" or "consumable", depending on the item. Quest items are never supposed to be a consumable but Blizzard never fixed it. Hope that helps.

Maybe have program adds consumables too as an option. Obvious items can be set to ignore in options later? Or make a list to add like you suggested.

Workaround when quests reported as consumable? Code with ITEM_STARTS_QUEST later makes sure consumable is really a quest. Add to function CheckIfQuestItem(itemLink)

local _, _, _, _, _, itemType, itemSubType, _, _, _ = GetItemInfo(itemLink)
Gratuity:SetHyperlink(itemLink)
if strlower(itemType) == "consumable" and strlower(itemSubType) == "consumable" then
itemType = "Quest"
itemSubType = "Quest"
end

Multiple stacks of the same item seems a little bugged still. I fisrt noticed this while doing the 'Shrimping Ain't Easy' daily fishing quest. Each Bloated Barbed Gill Trout i fished up would add into the bar instead of just the number going up by 1.

I then tested it by getting some stack of Marks & Runes out of the mailbox. If they went into a stack i already had in my bag it worked fine but if they had to start a fresh stack as there were to many the item would show up 2/3/4 times in the QuestItemBar for however many fresh stacks there were.

Spliting & restacking these stacks would sometimes start to reduced the number showing up in the bar but it seemes pretty random.

I know this isnt a great description but its the best i could do, kinda hard to describe.

Hope this help, Reeb.

A cool feature would be to add the ability to auto hide when joining a raid, the auto show when you leave raid.

love this mod! no longer do i have to search thru my bags so i can shortcut quest items onto my action bar (which really doesnt have the room on some characters lol) then remember to take them back off when done. or worse, forgetting that i even have the quest item lol. in a way, it even helps me remember i have some quests. good work.

Man this addon rocks. Was so tired of using Bartender and having to add/remove quest crap from the bars.

Thanks for the work you put in!
