[Addon] Questie v2.0.12 - A quest helper for vanilla!

[Crispin]

My quest tracker is completely gone - I think I managed to drag it outside my screen. Any ideas how to get it back ?

[Metalic]

Questie does not work for me.
When I start the game , this message appears:



When I open the quest list, this message appears:



What am I doing wrong?

I had to spend time updating the database because -apparently- there were 977 missing quests. (Including the starting quests for each faction)

Basically that means that 29.9% of all quests in the game didn't have metadata for quest-finisher or quest-starter, and didn't have aliases in QuestieLevLookup, causing it to fall back to the legacy hash function which doesn't always work. (This causes lots of 'undocumented behavior')

That and the hash system now accounts for player race in the lookup. This is because apparently there are some quests that are identical in name, objective text and level, but different factions.



Sorry for all the technobabble, I just wanted to update everyone because it's related to the release that's coming out very soon.

Thanks for the updates Scamp. Your work is very appreciated.

Anything else can we expect with the 1.1 update besides the cleaner looking quest tracker?

Good stuff Scamp! Whats the ETA on this 2.0 release?

I can't seem to figure out how to move the quest helper. Can anyone tell me how to move it anywhere other than on top of my character?

You can drag it if you drag at the edges.

I'll make up a proper list when it comes out but essentially:
- Cartographer has been removed in favor of astrolabe. This allows Questie to display objectives in all zones, not just the current one, and unifies the minimap. You can still use cartographer if you want to, though
- All map/minimap "zombie" issues have been fixed with the move to Astrolabe.
- Available quest logic has been fixed, it shouldn't have the problem of showing quests that aren't actually available anymore
- Lots of missing data has been added to the DB (including the 977 missing quests)
- Several things have been made more efficient, this should help fix some of the lag issues some have experienced. (Specifically when objectives update/first load/etc)
- A config system has been created, no UI for it yet but it can be done via slash commands.
- Tracker UI has been overhauled, but there's still more to come on that front
- Distance calculations now use astrolabe, which supports calculating distance across zone, and uses euclidean distance, which is much more accurate.


There's a lot more that I can't think of, but that's the main stuff. The last release came out a looong time ago. There's a full list of everything that's changed since then on github: https://github.com/AeroScripts/QuestieDev/compare/v1.0b...master (some of those changes made it into updates to 1.0b, though)

I'm getting the following error. Tried deleting and downloading questie again but didn't work. I get the same issue over multiple characters. I am not using the master release.

Please make sure your WoW (specifically WTF folder) isn't write-protected. It isn't able to create QuestieSeenQuests in your SavedVariables. What you can do is add it manually, if you must
- close your WoW completely
- go to WTF/AccountName/ServerName/CharName/SavedVariables/Questie.lua

At the bottom, add:

Code: Select all

QuestieSeenQuests = {}


It should work then

Thanks a lot! This solved the issue.

I still have the issue and whenever I open the file again, the entry has been removed again, despite saving it before hand.
