QuestPointer

Table of Contents

QuestPointer puts the quest POI icons from the world map onto your minimap.

It'll integrate with TomTom's crazyarrow, if you have it installed. Click the broker plugin or type "/qp closest" to have the crazyarrow point to the current closest quest POI.

You can choose to:

Track World Quests, too
Auto-track the closest POI in TomTom
Only show icons for quests you're watching
Make icons on the edge of the minimap become arrows to make it more obvious that they're far away
Change the icon scale

TODO:

Arrowed-icons should include the number/icon that the closer ones use

[Bug] QuestPointer v7 - 4.0.3a

1. QuestPointer is no longer talking with TomTom to get auto-tracking.
2. In the Interface options the tooltip on the bottom two options are the same.
3. When QuestPointer is enabled the Objective Number Icon in the minimap sometimes stays stuck in the corner when it moves in the Field of View on the minimap.

Resoultion for #1, #3. Downgrade back to QuestPointer v6

TomTom has since been updated to use the same version of Astrolabe that QuestPointer v7 does. Install TomTom v40000-1.0.4 from this site.

With the updated TomTom, issue "#1" mentioned above has for sure been fixed; #3 might be.

I've updated both TomTom and QuestPointer to the latest versions (even tried deleting and doing fresh installs of both) and I'm still having issue #1.

I had the same issue. Deleted saved variables of both mods and downgrading to QP v6 fixed the problem.

I seem to be having difficulty getting auto-tracking with TomTom working since Tuesday's patch. Any suggestions?

I was told to use this with my tomtom since tomtom stopped working when QH quit. I have the arrow up with lightheaded but nothing i've done has made the auto track work. I can't tell that this addon is doing anything. There is nothing on my minimap nor is tomtom doing it's auto thing. It's probably user error but I've already tried everything everyone else has suggested so I decided to try here. I have tomtom, questguru, lightheaded and this one installed and i'm not sure if it matters but i also have mapster. I've enabled all the auto options I can find but it doesn't help. Any advice would be appreciated I miss my auto arrow LOL

I followed Adirelle's fix, and so far so goo. All my quest markers numbers now match between my world map and minimap.

Kemayo, if you integrate those fixes and release it I'm sure many in the community would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the awesome addon!

Was playing earlier this afternoon, and for some reason the QuestPointer markers on my minimap were all #+1 over the markers that were displaying on my world map (ie., quest marker (1) on the world map was showing up as marker (2) on the minimap).

I did install TourGuide, so I'm not sure if that was had anything to do with it.

Hi.

I just installed this yesterday and I like it very much except it has one flaw, imo.

Can you fix this? See screenshot provided please. This happens when I tell QuestPointer to automatically create a TomTom waypoint.

EDIT: I forgot to say that the TomTom spam just keeps going and going, it doesn't stop. At first I thought it was just updating as I moved about but even just standing still it just spams away.

This+tomtom may be the most useful addons ever made. :)

One suggestion: If would be nice if you could set the alpha on the minimap icons easily, or adjust their size, or preferably both.

Just to clarify: It would be nice if you could adjust their size *without* also making the arrows smaller. The only size slider now affects both the icons and the arrows on the edge of the map, and a good setting for the arrows makes the icons obstruct way too much, whereas a good setting for the icons (ideally, about the size of default tracking dots) makes the arrows annoyingly small. Either being able to adjust the size of the dots without also downsizing the arrows, or being able to make the dots transparent so they don't obstruct the minimap so much would be *greatly* appreciated. :) Thanks.

Here is a simple patch to fix the POI numbering, so QuestPointer uses the same number as the world map and the quest tracker; even when showing only tracked quests: http://paste.wowace.com/1725

Also, pretty unrelated but I would like an option to ignore completed quests.

I second what Tatertott said this is a great addon to keep a tomtomish thing going but with hardly the mem requirements. Keep it up :D

This is a VERY nice addition for anyone that is looking to get away from the heavy memory questing addons like Carbonite or QuestHelper. Pair this up with Tekkub's Quecho and you have a great combination. Thanks for the addon!

I tried this last night, awesome addon btw.
I however encountered an error when I went into Blood Furnace instance. It kept spamming me with errors every few seconds.
I unfortunately did not capture them, I will try to do so next time and post back here.
Is it possible to make this addon disable itself when going into an instance or how about a simple toggle feature when either clicking on the broker icon or even a text based on/off toggle.
