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

[Logon]

So, after the NA server issues tonight my Questie addon kept freezing my game. Not sure how the server problems affected Questie, but once I disabled Questie my game stopped freezing.

So I decided to update my Questie from the 1.0 Beta version I had been using to the newest version, 2.0.12 (although now I see some talk about 3.0 which has me slightly confused - I only saw 2.0.12 from the download link).

Anyways, I'm having a couple of issues. On my map there's a bunch of question mark (?) icons where there used to be Questie icons. Also, whenever there's a hover window that lists prices (selling something, flight path) the price amount is very dark and almost unreadable.

It appears this was "fixed" in version 2.0.11 - "Fixed darkened sell price glitch" but it seems like I'm getting it in 2.0.12.

Any suggestions on how to fix these 2 issues?

The reason for this is that we switched quest tracking system for 2.0 and we also did this for 3.0 but in 3.0 it's a different addon entierly so if we ever do a 4.0 it will read 3.0 data if that makes sense

Maybe.

Uhh... if I update to Questie 3.0 will it fix the map icons? I don't even know where to get 3.0, I only see v2 on the github link. Why is there a 3.0 and a 2.0.12?

Honestly I don't really care what version I use, I was happy with 1.0 Beta tbh. I just want the map icons to be fixed.

Additionally my game freezes for 1-3 seconds when I open my quest log or when I abandon a quest. Questie 1.0 Beta never had these issues.

It's in a different branch on the Github website. https://github.com/AeroScripts/QuestieDev/branches
Click the Questie_3.0 branch and you'll be able to download by clicking Download Zip like you normally would.

Is it possible to run the 3.0 version to help with bug testing but still have v2.0.12 as a backup to fall back on?

Fresh install of all my addons. When trying questie 3.0 I get this error that won't close on my screen:

Interface\Addons\!Questie\Questie.lua:563:
attempt to index global `center' (a nil value)

Any ideas? Thanks!

So how do I install questie 3.0? The dev folder makes it kind of confusing.

So how do I install questie 3.0? The dev folder makes it kind of confusing.

Here you go:

1. This step can be done in one of two ways. It is necessary though to prevent conflicts with old settings/files of previous Questie installations:
   
   • 1.1 Easy way (this deletes all settings and addons)(make a backup if you like): Go to your WoW folder and delete the "Interface" and "WTF" folders. Then start the game and log in to some character. Quit. There should be a new "Interface" and "WTF" folder now.
   • 1.2 Hard way (this keeps settings and addons not related to Questie): Go to your WoW folder and delete ALL Questie related folders from the "Interface\AddOns" folder as well as related files from the "WTF" subfolders. The relevant files/folders might contain names not obviously related to Questie, e.g. "!DataStore_Quests".
2. Go to https://github.com/AeroScripts/QuestieDev/tree/Questie_3.0 and click on "Download ZIP" to get the current version.
3. Unzip it.
4. Copy the following folders to your "WoW\Interface\AddOns" folder:
   
   • !DataStore_Quests
   • !Questie
   • BitchinMapSystem
5. Enjoy. Keep in mind this is an alpha, there are bugs! If you find a bug, please check the Issue Tracker to see if it has already been reported, and if it hasn't been, sign in/up to create a new issue. Please include the commit number you are using. For the current commit it is to be found on the page linked in step 2, and looks like this: "Latest commit b79aa71". If you are unsure which commit you are using cross-reference the download date of your files with the Commit List of Questie 3.0 (it's kind of the changelog).

Doing the WTF-part of step 1.2 of the above guide should help you guys out. Sounds like a conflict with old SavedVariables. Roughriders problem might also be caused by doing step 4 incorrectly.

Yes, just back up your "Interface" and "WTF" folders in step 1.1 of the above guide. For example rename them "Interface2" and "WTF2". Note that this will affect all other addons/settings as well.

It's a shame because the addon seemed great and super helpful when I'm clueless of where the quest givers might be but the quest tracker is a huge huge turn off . It's so horrible. It's always in the way and you can't lock it or make the gray box disappear. Also after downloading the 3.0 when you track it with the arrow, Wow close and an error comes up. At this point I gave up on downloading, deleting, downloading a new version.

You should've just kept this simple with the map tracker and leave the quest trackers and quest boxes to other addons.
