I downloaded this addon today, and have been using it fine on my lvl 52 toon, as she had no quests when i first logged in with the addon. When i logged into a lvl 85 toon, every one of my quests was being tracked, even though none were being tracked in my quest log. I can't untrack them, and don't want them all on the tracker.
Other than this, I like the addon. I tried about 5 that I couldn't stand before finding this one buried deep in the quests and levelling pages
Were you able to fix that, and if so was it by chance caused by the show hidden quests button being turned on?
If not I can try look into it, though I can't say its an issue I have noticed before
Once I stopped regular updates for people to keep downloading this fell down the rankings like a rock :(
Just been running bug fixes/support updates lately rather the feature ones, just had so so little time, darn uni ^_^
Nope, havn't managed to fix it. I've tried the different hide/show quest options..... nevermind ;) as I was typing this I continued to mess around with settings and managed to figure it out :) Turned on allow hidden quests and hide zone headings :) Great addon now I can't find anything wrong :)
^_^ Happy you got it working.
I think I should probably make sure that option is on by default >.<
I will look into it eventually but I just don't have the time for the moment, sorry :(
Yeah putting the colour at the bottom for the thing at the top of the minion.. not my brightest moment >.<
I have a fair idea on how to re-implement the tracking and a prototype of the scrolling, but as much as I would love to get them working I just don't have the time :(
Bring on Uni break already ^_^
@Sorha2
That's a shame about the tracking, it's such a pita to do every single time.
In regards to your 2) I already tried that, it doesn't change the color. I just logged out of the game for the night, I will try again tomorrow morning.
EDIT:
My fault, I overlooked it, it was there at the bottom for the minion title text. tyvm.
As far as 4) goes. If you wanted to take a look at QuestGuru on how he did the "remember what was tracked" and "tracker scrolling" you could always do so. In fact, Mr. O'Brian had to quit the game for personal reasons so he is giving away the addon to any one who wishes to take it over.
1)
Have this mostly done, just had a very heavy RL workload lately (Have barely had time to get on wow more then 20mins a week)
2)
Try the Settings -> Quest Minion -> Colours -> Minion title text
Is that the section you meant?
Yeah I admit the colours I picked for the add-on are fairly random.. joys of being colourblind :D
3)
Sadly I don't see myself as being able to get this done in any realistic time frame due to the above time issues :(
4)
Originally SQL maintained its own set of quests which were tracked/untracked.
However people requested it be merged with blizzards ones, which did make the addon alot simpler.
The trouble is now that for the time being blizzard has a bug with their quest tracking/some other interface settings which loses them each logout :(
Re-implementing the old system would just be to much work for me at the moment, if blizzard decide not to patch this issue then I may reconsider.
Sorha, hello.
I just tried this tracker of yours for the first time yesterday. It took me a little bit to set it up to something I was happy with. I have a few things I would like to mention:
1.) I too think padding between quests would be nice.
2.) I really would like to be able to change the color of the text at top of the quest minion where it says 2/3 (4/25) for example. That greenish color you got is not for me.
and two things I think your tracker is lacking are:
3.) The ability to scroll the tracker with the mousewheel when many quests expanded extended beyond length of the tracker height
4.) The ability to have your tracker remember which quests and achievements were tracked. Every time I log in or reload the UI I have to keep opening up the quest log and set quests to track again. (This is the game default behavior)
I am trying your tracker for the first time as I said. I have been using QuestGuru for over four years and that is a top notch tracker he has. #3 and #4 are two features his tracker offers that I find very helpful.
Number 4 above is especially useful because it's such a pain to have to open quest log and achieve window and re-set every thing I want tracked. I want the tracker to remember and keep things tracked until I say otherwise. I will decide when I am done tracking something, not Blizzard, not an addon. Also useful for me is because I have bad connection issues lately and I disconnect a lot so I am always having to retrack stuff.
Thanks.
the last patch introduced a little text formatting issue with quest-starting items being picked up.
When doing so there is a hex-code (i think its the color) visible before the item name.
Everything else is still very fine and robust :-)
Best regards
If you want grab a copy of r76 from wowace to see how it fares ^_^
This is as good a place as any, though tickets work as well ^_^.
1)
Would that be for everything, ie all quest titles, quest objectives etc or mostly just for the minion headers (ie button and x/25 count)?
I ask because just minion headers = easier :D
2)
I can add in an option to increase the padding between each quest/achievement.
You don't need to adjust the padding between quest title and its objectives do you?
(Though I could add that as well if it was needed)
I'm not sure where feature requests are supposed to be made. I have 2:
I've been looking for an addon like this for a long time, so I'm very happy about finding this - great job with it! That said, I just wanted to add a small list of things that would make me even happier if they could be somehow implemented.
First - and this is really minor - it'd be great if there was an option to rebind the "untrack a quest" keybind from Right Click to Shift+Left Click (the default Blizzard keybind).
Second - I would absolutely love an option to automatically hide the quest tracker when joining a raid, if it's not too much work. It's usually completely irrelevant during raids and manually untracking all quests when joining a raid (and retracking them again afterwards) can be a pain.
Lastly, the "Hide minion when not tracking any quests" option for the Quest Minion seems bugged - most (but not all) the time if I manually untrack all quests one by one, the header doesn't actually disappear. I'm left with an odd-looking frame listing the amount of quests / daily quests I've got, and that's it. Most actions which refresh the frame in any way (such as doing a Shift+Click on a zone name in the quest log, which normally does nothing whatsoever for obvious reasons) cause it to disappear fully, so I imagine it just doesn't update itself on untracking the last quest? Or something like that.
Thanks for your efforts!
Seems it ate my first reply to you.
-Should now be possible to shift-click to track/untrack quests, unless you have chat open of course since it then links.
-Do the show/hide functions on the general options page not do well enough in this area?
-This is a little trickier, sounds similar to an issue I had with remote quests. Will look into it :)
