I posted an update to my version on GitHub, apparently I did the quest cap 35 change, but never updated the git. The _G["MAX_QUESTS"] is still not working (why? I have no clue). Just verifying with one other to make sure nothing else changed, and will put in a pull request with author to hopefully update soon.

Sense this isn't being updated anymore; can any one tell me what code to edit so that the text and/or box that appears on the map under the quest log isn't so big?

Or, if there is another simple addon like that that is actually up to date?

>> can any one tell me what code to edit so that the text and/or box that appears on the map under the quest log isn't so big?

File 'Settings.lua', line 19: 

fontSizeAdjustment = 1

(Originally 1.75, way too big)

For the correct number of max quests, go to 'Quests.lua', line 238, and replace the…

self.maxNumCountedQuests = _G["MAX_QUESTS"] or 25

…simply with…

self.maxNumCountedQuests = 35

(As of today, they still haven't updated their constant.)

In reply to 6mot:

Thanks for the response. I'll test out the font changes; thanks again.

Also, yeah -- I made the change for the quest amount a while back from someone else's recommendations from a while back.

 It may, I will check it out sometime this weekend to verify, so in the code changing one text should fix it, however it isn't, it could be that Blizz hasn't fixed the full code yet or something else needs to be changed that I don't know right now

In reply to fuba82:

I have now 31/25 quests, so it seems it's ok.
Next time better check in game to be sure, because the answer for the script can be not updated.

In reply to fuba82:

 Temp work around in the Quests.lua file, change line 238 to 

self.maxNumCountedQuests = 35

In reply to fuba82:

> they better should "fully" update a feature, not just "partially"

I'm glad they only forgot to update that constant, and didn't introduce new bugs with that change. So, for Blizz standards, excellent work, I would say.

*removed since updated*

I'm gonna guess that rhetbull isn't planning on updating this.  Seems he hasn't been active at all here since Jan 3 2021.  It's a shame, this was a helpful addon, but is now giving 3-4 errors on use.  Probably not a huge problem to fix... :(  Unfortunately I don't have the programming chops to even consider doing it myself.

 it really isn't a huge problem, it's one line of code not needed, posted a fix above

Thanks for making this addon. Yours is the only one I've found that actually works in Shadowlands, but I have a small reqeust. Could you please add some options for this addon under  Interface > Addons  ?

I like what you've done with it being in it's own frame, but I'd like if I could make the frame opaque instead of translucent; I'd like the ability to disable the coloration of the text on the frame (I just want the standard yellow/gold that matches the names of the quests in the list, not red/yellow/green); and I'd like to be able to turn on/off the category counters.

I literally just want the most basic, simple quest counter frame without all of the bells and whistles. I used to use CQuestCounter but that doesn't work anymore, so I've turned to yours as it's the only one I've found that works, but it has a lot of unnecessary features that I have no way to disable. Not trying to sound ungrateful, as I do appreciate the addon, would just love a little bit of customization if at all possible.

Edit: Alternatively, if the options tab is too much work to implement, slash commands could work just as well?

/sqc color   -- toggles value-based colours on/off

/sqc opacity x    -- sets the frame opacity (even if it just has 5 presets, 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%)

/sqc categories   -- toggles category counter on/off

Just a suggestion.

Very much needs options mentioned by ZaneBusby.
Currently it is more intrusive than it is helpful.

In reply to rhetbull:

Thank you.

That appears to have fixed the issue.
