FuBar - QuestsFu  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 4.0.1B
by: Kemayo [More]

WARNING: I don't actively use this myself any more. I wrote BetterQuest which I now use instead. If you're not incredibly wedded to FuBar, I'd recommend switching. I'll keep on fixing this up while people use it, but I'll be relying on bug reports to discover things that break.

This is a quest-tracker replacement plugin for FuBar. It provides a tooltip which replicates /most/ of the information from the quest log. It can display (or not): quest level, difficulty, objectives, zones, and suchlike. It will put quest information into the tooltips for quest monsters and items. It will make quest levels appear when talking to NPCs.

If other people in your party are using QuestsFu it'll show you how many of each quest objective they've gathered.

If you want it to, and don't think it will annoy people, you can send a message to party chat when you advance a quest objective.

Shift-click on quests in the tooltip to copy the title to the chatbox if it's open.
Control+Shift-click on quests in the tooltip to copy their objectives and status to the chatbox if it's open.
Control-click on quests in the tooltip to share them with your party.
Alt-click on quests in the tooltip to add them to Blizzard's quest-tracker.

QuestsFu includes a replacement for the Blizzard built-in quest tracker, which can track more than 10 quests at a time. Right-click on it to adjust its scale and coloration. (Or alt-right-click if you've locked the tracker.)

Achievements show up in QuestsFu's tracker. Ain't that cool?

Certain thanks must be given to MonkeyQuest, which motivated me to write this by being everything that I wanted in a quest-tracker replacement while annoying me by putting a frame over a quarter of my screen.

Wowace project: http://www.wowace.com/projects/fu-bar_quests-fu/ (This will tend to have slightly more up-to-date versions.)

Changes:

4.0.1B:
  • Bump TOC for 4.2

4.0.1A:
  • Update libraries, to fix some errors people are getting in BC content
  • Bump some submodule tocs
  • Remove pointless AceComm embed that I missed about 18 months ago

4.0.1:
  • Make work with the 4.0.1 patch.

3.3.1:
  • Fixes for chat frame usage and gossip quests.

3.3:
  • Bump TOC
  • Fixes for WoW 3.3.0

3.2.2:
  • Quest log levels, while scrolling, even... (HybridScrollFrame needs to be documented somewhere...)

3.2.1:
  • Quest log levels, work again.

3.2:
  • Bump TOC
  • Fixes for WoW3.2 from D_Town
  • Fix quest sharing

3.1-beta4:
  • Tracked achievements show up in the tracker. I intend to improve on this, but it's functional as-is.
  • Don't auto-watch completed quests based on zone/subzone if remove-completed is on.
  • Don't unwatch quests that were watched because of watch-when-gained when the zone/subzone changes.
  • Fix unwatch-when-completed.
  • Embed the correct version of Babble-Zone.
  • Apply a patch for LightHeaded support from schultzr.

3.1-beta3: Wrong method call in PartyNotify, Tracker still showing up, and two missing embeds.

3.1-beta2: A few tracker bugs, mostly.

3.1-beta: Make work with 3.1. Probably. I switched to a new version of the library that interacts with the quest log, and it's possible I missed something along the way.

2.0.65647: 2.4. Minor changes to level display.

2.0.55071:
  • Finally got bored of waiting for someone else to fix Tablet, and fixed it myself. Alt-clicking will allow you to interact with the locked tracker again.
  • Fixed the taint problem.

2.0.54738:
  • TOC updated for 2.3
  • Quest levels broke because of the new low-level stuff; fixed (and made more efficient -- I wrote that *ages* ago)
  • Fixed LightHeaded error when viewing a quest LightHeaded didn't know about.
2.0.52898:

  • PartyNotify and Announce now have slightly more detailed options for what to announce.
  • Change PartyNotify to use SinkLib.
  • zhCN localization by yhwh. Updated zhTW (helium and NightOwl), deDE (gamefaq), koKR (sayclub and next96).

2.0.49757:
  • Update for 2.2
  • Various localization updates and bugfixes

2.0.44273:
  • Add PartyLog module, which will display the quest log of a party member. (Somewhat rough around the edges still; disabled by default.)
  • Fix memory leaks in Quixote comms code. (Mostly stuff that got missed in the big post-2.0 cleanup.)
  • Fix an error that would occur if an addon had altered the reaction level global strings.

2.0.43882:
  • Fix Comments and Detached modules requiring an interface reload to reappear if you disabled and then reenabled then.
  • Remove superfluous strings from some locales.
  • Update to deDE localization by gamefaq.

  • Add a new "detached" module, disabled by default, which can be used as a more customizable version of the standard fubar tooltip.
  • LightHeaded integration now properly displays rep gains and quest series.
  • Tablet settings like minWidth, maxHeight, and strata can now be changed without reloading the UI.
  • Fix alt-clicking on a quest in the main tablet causing an error if the tracker module was enabled, but "use own tracker" was disabled.

  • Update for 2.1.
  • Let sound type be chosen on a per-event basis (e.g. Peon for progress, Peasant for complete).

2.0.34662:
  • This update is a massive rewrite of everything. There's now extensive use of modules, and whole swathes of functionality can be deleted entirely if you don't want them.
  • Allow choosing of custom colors for everything, instead of Blizzard defaults.
  • Add LightHeaded integration.
  • Add option for maxHeight and minWidth on the Detail and Tracker frames.
  • Add more sounds that can play on quest events.
  • Party notifications are much more robust.
  • More little tweaks and bugfixes than I feel like writing out.

2.0.29667:
  • Sort quests in the tracker by level.
  • Slightly better handling of autowatched quests between sessions.

Autowatched quests

How do I get it to show all of my quests, and keep watching them.

It doesn't seem to matter if I have zone or sub-zone checked or unchecked.

excellent new features

I just wanted to thank you Kemayo! i love this mod - i have replaced Uberquest with it and i'm happy as a clam. Especially with the progress announcements in chat. I used to have Quest Announce and really missed it and you have no idea how delighted i was to see that feature added here. Bravo! Thanks!

First thing, I love the mod, replaced MonkeyQuest with it and I'm not looking back. Second, is there any way to change the appearance? Meaning, can I change the colors and sizes of the dialogs and text? Sometimes the Quest Tracking dialog is too long and overlaps other things on my screen. Also it would be nice to be able to change the colors so I can choose some colors that are easier to see on my screen. Thanks!

Another nod to the developer here for the excellent work that's being done. The recent updates especially have really brought this addon forward in leaps and bounds and I'm really getting a lot of satisfaction from using this.

To those that have commented about the issue of the tracker appearing above other windows, I've had a similar problem but the latest update had a fix for this that worked for me.

Basically, right click on the tracker to bring up a menu. Go to the "strata" sub-menu. I forget the exact words used to describe the options presented in this sub-menu but the option you want to select is called something like "bottom" or "lowest".

Once you've done this, as a previous poster noted, you have to reload your interface to get the change to be picked-up. You can do this simply by typing "/console ReloadUI" by itself in the chatbox. The interface will then reload (this looks a bit like it does when hearthing/zoning/logging-in, you get the loading image with the progress-bar at the bottom of the screen) and once the interface has reloaded you should find the tracker appears behind the windows it was previously obstructing.

After you've set the "strata" once this way, it should remember the setting in future sessions, based on my experience so far.

Great addon, I really love the information it gives.

I would like to completely switch from Uberquest to this one, but I have to issues with the tracker: first, like many people said before, the tracker frame is ABOVE many other frames and it is hard to find a free place in the UI.

Second, is there a way to completely hide the tracker, without the need to uncheck all quests I'm tracking? If I uncheck "use own tracker" the Blizzard default tracker pops up, if I recheck "use own tracker" in QuestFu the Blizzard tracker is hidden again and the QuestFu tracker shows up. I use to hide the tracker if in raid or group and reenable it if I'm solo, in Uberquest there was an option to show/hide the quest tracker but this doesn't popup the Blizzard tracker.

BTW, I'm playing on german GUI, but I suspect this has nothing to do with localisation.

You need to reload your user interface after changing that -- it's an annoying limitation of Tablet.

...do you use a HUD addon, by the way?
I don't use a HUD addon and I was still unable to move the tracker with any alt + mouse button combination using the 2.0.26806 version.

I just downloaded the 2.0.26925 upgrade and I am now able to move the tracker with the alt + leftclick with no problems. The menu opens with a single rightclick but that now causes no problems with the tracker moved from centerscreen.

Thanks! I would still using this addon with the Blizzard tracker, but I prefer the flexibility of this tracker much better now.

File version says 2.0.27117 -- when downloaded getting FuBar_QuestsFu-r26925

Not sure if file was updated properly or just mis-labeled.

I agree with the comments about the tracker's Z-index being to high now. It's just not usable if it's going to cover up other things.

Also, could you add an option to the right-mouse menu to lock and unlock the tracker? It's not all that intuitive to have to shift and right click to bring up the menu. Someone could lock it and then not know how to unlock it.

But all in all a good mod. Good job.

I think I isolated the cause of this to another AddOn called ToDo http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=3948

I would still like to be able to choose a different sound for quest complete.

Using 27215

The Auto track on Progress is not bringing up the tracker.

When killing a mob or looting something thats part of a quest, the tracker does not open up as it should, the quest is still tracked id the tracker is manually opened.
