JasonQuest

Version: 1.04
by: JASlaughter [More]

JasonQuest (JQuest) is an addon that allows you to share and view questlogs between party JQuest users.

Forum thread on WowAce

Features

  • Full display of members' quests, including objective status, reward items and money
  • Automatically track member quests just like the player questlog
  • Receive notifications in your chatlog of member quest updates
  • Request quest shares from members, with notification of result (already completed, not eligible, etc)
  • Minimap button only appears when in debug mode, or other members have JQuest
  • Familiar look and feel as it emulates Blizzard's quest log
  • Double-Wide mode similar to Iriel's DoubleWide mod
  • Quest levels and 'other members on quest' shown in brackets
  • Mousing over a member's tab will show their XP status
  • FuBar support via JasonQuestFu
  • LightHeaded support via JasonQuestLH

Use
  • Yes, party members that want to share QuestLogs need to have this mod!

Simply click on the minimap book icon (when in a party or debug mode) to open the JasonQuest log frame. There will be a tab for each party member along the side with portraits - red for no data and full-color for any data. Just click the tab to see their log.

Once in the log, clicking Synchronize will send what quests you have listed for a member, and that member's JQuest should send back the missing quests.

Clicking Share Quest will ask the other member's JQuest to share a quest that you don't have with you.

Credits
  • Double-Wide Code: Iriel <[email protected]>
  • Core comm handler: Quixote, created by Kemayo
  • Minimap button: MiniButtLib, created by DarkImakuni, who credited Gello

Credit Note: This AddOn was originally created for my internal use with my family while leveling up together. In the process, I looked at Quixote and QuestLogFrame.lua. Since the AddOn wasn't meant for public consumption at first, I may have missed giving credit where credit is due. Please know that this is not intentional and a simple email letting me know I've missed a credit is all that's needed to get the insertion.

To Do
  • Quest timers (maybe)

Known Issues
If it's in this list, rest assured I'm aware of it and looking for solutions. If you've been able to solve one yourself, please let me know and I'll incorporate it ASAP along with proper credit.
  • Sometimes Blizzard doesn't update the questlog objectives quickly enough, and you end up with objectives like " : 0/5"
  • Expanding / Collapsing quests changes quests available through the Blizzard API, and it makes the QUEST_LOG_UPDATE event unreliable. Because of timing issues with this event, sometimes the last quest will be selected in the log. (Blizzard really should separate the Log Frame UI from the API...)

Other Notes
WoWAce will always have the latest build, although that doesn't necessarily mean the most bug-free. WoWAce is for development hosting and so any test builds will be included. If you feel like running the latest internal, you can grab the latest JasonQuest build here.

- Fixed Comm.lua:197:attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
- Fixed Tab status indicators to properly display gray if incompatible version, and
red only when there is no data
- Selected quests should now be properly reselected after a scan (using
GetQuestLogSelection() instead of QuestLogFrame.selectedButtonID which lags behind
realtime)

v1.04.46030
- Fixed issue with reward items sometimes not showing up--Required a COMM change so
all users will need to upgrade (Sorry!)

v1.03.45788

tested but not in an arena
- Fixed Comm.lua:342 nil error

- Debug messages are now in ChatFrame3, and added some new messages

v1.03.42031

- Attempt 1 to reduce 'does not exist' errors during raids (drycoded)

v1.03.41619

too far away, etc)

Red face Any chance on Wrath? I'll help.

I've used this addon throughout BC. And anytime I'm helping a friend quest, I tell them to get this addon. Now that Wrath is here, I am getting errors when using it.

The first error i got was related to lines 661-667 in the LogFrame.lua file. My short fix of just commenting them out allowed me to use the addon. Minus that functionality.

After that, there was the next error that popped up. One that I am still working on 'red-necking'.
Line 516 of LogFrame.lua was the culprit.
Again, commenting the line out allowed me to bypass the problem.

After that it was smooth sailing with it again. (For the time being)

The first error was relating to something about money and the next error was relating to setting the text color of a string or property or something?...

I'm no expert, or even a novice, so anything that I can do to help with this addon I will try.

It's a new window. Integrating with the main questlog has two detractors - one is that you wouldn't be able to do side-by-side comparisons, and two it could interfere with other questlog mods.

@11:43A EST - Updated to include newest embeds from wowace.

The idea sounds great. It is a little bit of QuestFu's support for parties with a nice GUI!

Unfortunately I cannot test it right away, so allow me the question: does it replace the normal QuestLog or is it an additional window that is shown upon request?

Happy coding!
