Strictly speaking I don't really have time to add major features at the moment (At least until start December)
Though things like the pop-up at the top for picking up quest starting items is rather nice though..
By pop up on-top of the tracker for remote quests do you mean in the same manner quest starting items do in questking?
And because of the way (from memory) the frames are built for each quest I don't believe that there is an easy way to blink text without refreshing the entire minion each time.
Though to be honest I am more concerned about how he has scenarios and challenge modes, are they built like that into the blizzard tracker in mists? (No beta access)
Also long time no see Akgis ^_^
Are you still adding features to this addon?
If so have 2 sugestions?
Those quests that came up when you zone or finish another quest aka "remote quests" maybe make a popup to show on top of the tracker.
Other sugestion would be to blink the line a you do a step of a quest.
This are features of another tracker called questking, probleam is that this one has a few shorcommings like no LDB and its not dragable.
Hello peoples,
I wanted to say sorry for not updating sooner, life has sadly not been wanting to give me the free time. Should hopefully be able to get back to maintaining this now, though new features are still not likely anytime soon.
Big thank-you to mkong409 for tracking down the issues that arose in 5.0.4 and providing fixes ^_^ Feel free to post issues you have on here or on curse, tickets here are generally the best way to do it through.

very very big thx <3
FYI, I have this updated and working on my system with 5.04. I'm not sure I've gotten everything, but it's at least operational for now. Here is a list of changes:
First, I updated all ACE3 libs to their 5.04 counterparts, and then updated Core.lua as follows:
Line 3222: GetMaxDailyQuests() has been deprecated, updated line to read the following:
Line 4035: GetNumPartyMembers() has been renamed to GetNumGroupMembers():
Line 4982: ACHIEVEMENT_CRITERIA_PROGRESS_BAR has also been deprecated, I've found this code in other updated addons that has worked around this:
I have it packaged up, but not sure where I can post it, but if you want to apply the updates manually, have at it....

Enjoy!
Edited to correct cut/paste error with first code snippet....
mkong's fixes did it for me.
Thanks SO much!
Edited To Add: Thank GOD. I couldn't stand the other tracker I was subbing with. I was about to just switch back to the Blizzard one, I was so disappointed with the other options. :(
PPS: For the # of Daily Quests Completed (line 3222) change, it didn't have the opening parenthesis.
I changed it to:
So it would be fully enclosed.
Whoops! Sorry, the opening parenthesis was in my code, must have been a cut/paste error. Glad you caught it though.
Without you, I would have never gotten to that point anyway.
Thank you for the fixes. :)
I haven't tested it yet but I made the changes and the quest tracker now appears on screen again so ...tyvm for telling us about the fix!
First let me say thank you for a great add-on! It has been a main staple of mine for many years now. Without a doubt it is the best Quest add-on available.
I sincerely hope this will be updated for 5.0.4 (and above). If not by the original author by someone else. Please don't let a truly great add-on go by the wayside.
Yeah I'm sad this broke in 5.0.4. Quest tracker is nil, just a tiny square on screen. The achievement tracker works but not the quest tracker.
This is my favorite quest addon and I hope it gets updated to work again. It would be a shame to lose this.
I love this addon!
Is this still being updated for MoP or has the project been discontinued?
Hi Sorha2,
Yes this only happens when I have your addon loaded. I do not have any other quest addons except for Quest Completist and all it does to the questlog window is add a small half-inch tab to top left corner of the questlog that will open that addon. It does not alter the questlog in any other way.
I have been running SorhaQuestLog and Quest Completist together for about 1.5-2 years now with no issue. This issue only started for me after I returned to the game from a five month break between Sept. 8, 2011 to February 8, 2012. After I came back on Feb. 8, 2012 I updated all my addons and it was in short time I started to notice this fading of text.
The text would reappear if I disabled the SorhaQuestLog addon and reloaded my UI. Every thing went back to normal again with the default game questlog + the Quest Completist tab at the top of it. I dislike the default game tracker so it only takes a minute before I want SorhaQuestLog back. So I re-enable SorhaQuestLog, reload the UI and again for the time being all is well. I don't know what makes this happen or when but after a short while of questing it begins to fade again.
Here's the kicker: It doesn't always happen. The day I reported this here to you it happened to me several times throughout my day and the day before and after, but since then while waiting for a reply from you here, all has been well. So I don't know what the deal is. Now you see it, now you don't.
I just thought I would do you the courtesy or reporting it in case you were familiar with it. I really don't want to give up SorhaQuestLog so I am willing to hassle with this when it occurs by disabling / re-enabling when need be. Even that is better than the default game tracker.
I am a fan, and I am here to stay!
EDIT: I forgot to say two things: I do not have slow-text reading turned on and if you look at the screenshot in my original post you will see the Quest Completist button I refer to in the top left corner.
Yeah had noticed the QC button just was not sure if there was anything else running ^_^
Do you by chance have anything that will auto-accept quests for you, as the only issue I have been able to find so far that cause this error are auto-accepting quests.
That error affects a few other quest addons out there by the looks. Sadly if that is the cause its another wonderful blizzard based error >.<
Also just to clarifiy a '/console reloadui' does not restore the missing text?
(Or /reloadui, /rl, etc based on what extra commands addons have added for you ^_^)
Actually I do use SickOfClickingDailies addon to auto-accept daily quests but that all is automates, dailies. When the fading text occured for me was when I was questing in Deepholm, normal quests.
That's correct, a reload did not fix the fading. I had to disable your addon, log back in game, then log out, re-enable it and I was able to use your addon with no fading, but only for a short while, then the fading would re-occur again later. After a couple times of doing this, the fading behavior just stopped.
Using the auto-accept feature of SickOfClickingDailies I was able to reproduce the bug, looks to be something going wrong in the blizzard UI.
Not certain that was what was causing it for you though as you said there was no auto-accepted quests involved at all >.<
Well anyhow if it occurs again try adding this to a macro and seeing it if clears it up.
/script QuestInfoDescriptionText:SetAlphaGradient(0, 2000);
Or add the following line into the function SorhaQuestLog:QUEST_LOG_UPDATE(...) (Core.lua) at about line 2600, just after the first if statements 'end':
QuestInfoDescriptionText:SetAlphaGradient(0, 10000);
That line should fire anytime anything changes in the quest log and so hopefully always clear it up.
Good morning,
Okay I will Sorha2, thank you very much for your time and help. I am actually surprised you were able to duplicate it. It hasn't happened to me for the last couple of days, just every once in a while - there it is.
Thanks again and have a nice Sunday.
^_^ All good, hopefully blizzard will fix whatever is going on there.
Seems that using AcceptQuest() in the QUEST_DETAIL event is the issue as manual use of AcceptQuest() does not suffer from it.
Looks like it starts the text fade in of slow appearing text, but does not bother to follow through at making it slowly appear at a guess >.<
Fun times :)
