QuestMover

Version: 1.3b

by: Mordread [More]

With the release of patch 3.3, Blizzard removed the ability to move/resize the quest/objectives tracker.

QuestMover is a small addon that attempts to restore the old functionality without adding a lot of extra bloat. It detaches the quest tracker from the minimap and allows you to move and resize it (vertically).

v1.3b Update:
Added resizing grips on the bottom right and left corners. You can only resize the tracker vertically at this time. If you'd like to make it wider, go into WoW's options under Objectives and check Wider Objectives Tracker.

Shift-clicking the collapse/expand button opens the Achievement frame. Right-clicking opens the Quest Log.

There may be some bugs in this release. If you have any errors please report them in the comments section and I'll try to work on it when I can.

v1.1: Incorporated suggestions from the comments. Now draggable --(thanks to Redwood Elf). Resize by editing QuestMover.lua and changing WatchFrame:SetScale(1.0) --(thanks to Vranx)

Manually Locking the Tracker

There's a trick you can do to manually lock the tracker in place once you get it where you want it. (I'm using the non-optional version right now) Once you get the tracker where you want it, open up QuestMover.lua in the interface folder and comment out lines 104-110 by adding 2 hypens (-) at the beginning of each line.
This:

Code:

WatchFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
   WatchFrame:StartMoving()
       WatchFrame:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background",
    	edgeFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border", edgeSize = 16,
		insets = {left=0, right=0, top=0, bottom=0}, tile = true, tileSize = 16})
    WatchFrame:SetBackdropColor(0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2)
   end)

then becomes:

Code:

--WatchFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
--   WatchFrame:StartMoving()
--       WatchFrame:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Background",
--    	edgeFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border", edgeSize = 16,
--		insets = {left=0, right=0, top=0, bottom=0}, tile = true, tileSize = 16})
--    WatchFrame:SetBackdropColor(0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2)
--   end)

Once you do that, it will be locked in that position until you uncomment those lines and change the position, regardless of if you relog or exit or what have you.
Hope this helps someone out!

QuestMoverPoint["rp"],QuestMoverPoint["xof"],QuestMoverPoint["yof"])

end
WatchFrame:SetHeight(600) -- Edit this to change the height
WatchFrame:SetScale(.8) -- Edit this to scale it up or down
WatchFrame.ClearAllPoints = function() end
WatchFrame.SetPoint = function() end
WatchFrame.SetAllPoints = function() end
WatchFrame:SetMovable(1)
WatchFrame:EnableMouse()
WatchFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
WatchFrame:StartMoving()
end)
WatchFrame:SetScript("OnMouseUp", function()
WatchFrame:StopMovingOrSizing()
local p,rt,rp,xof,yof = WatchFrame:GetPoint()
QuestMoverPoint = {["p"] = p,["rt"] = rt,["rp"] = rp,["xof"] = xof,["yof"] = yof}
end)

So, to move the frame in game, just click and drag on the word "Objectives" at the top - the addon stores the new location when you log out of the game, and will put it there when you log back on.

Ok I'm confused! What line(s) do I mod in the QuestMover.lua?

Thanks in advance for doing something Blizz should have done in the first place.

Uploaded a lockable version in the Optional Files section. Alt-clicking the collapse button will lock it but it's buggy, it resets to the default position when you reloadui or relog. Needs to be reworked when I have time to figure it out.

Otherwise this is a cool addon, so I could clean out two more that I needed to move just for the little quest window. Ramoth Last edited by Ramoth : 04-02-10 at 03:16 AM.

I'm not seeing this problem on my end. Can you verify the problem exists with no other addons enabled? Maybe post a screenshot.

open QuestMover.lua and comment line 15 to 24 out after you've moved the frame to your liking:

WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
if QuestMoverPoint then
WatchFrame:SetPoint(QuestMoverPoint["p"],QuestMoverPoint["rt"],
QuestMoverPoint["rp"],QuestMoverPoint["xof"],QuestMoverPoint["yof"])
else
WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -15,-300)
local p,rt,rp,xof,yof = WatchFrame:GetPoint()
QuestMoverPoint = {["p"] = p,["rt"] = rt,["rp"] = rp,["xof"] = xof,["yof"] = yof}
end
WatchFrame:SetHeight(600) -- Edit this to change the height
WatchFrame:SetScale(1.0) -- Edit this to scale it up or down
WatchFrame.ClearAllPoints = function() end
WatchFrame.SetPoint = function() end
WatchFrame.SetAllPoints = function() end
--[[WatchFrame:SetMovable(1)
WatchFrame:EnableMouse()
WatchFrame:SetScript("OnMouseDown", function()
WatchFrame:StartMoving()
end)
WatchFrame:SetScript("OnMouseUp", function()
WatchFrame:StopMovingOrSizing()
local p,rt,rp,xof,yof = WatchFrame:GetPoint()
QuestMoverPoint = {["p"] = p,["rt"] = rt,["rp"] = rp,["xof"] = xof,["yof"] = yof}
end)]]

if you want to move it again, just delete --[[ and ]].

Xrystal nUI Maintainer Forum posts: 5927 File comments: 228 Uploads: 28	Okay, I see what has gone wrong here. Create a folder in your Interface/AddOns folder called QuestMover. Extract the zip file into that folder and you should now see 2 files. QuestMover.toc and QuestMover.lua. And it should then appear in your addon list at your character selection screen the next time you log into the game. Remember to log all the way out to get your changes to have effect. If you have already extracted into another folder just move the files into the QuestMover folder you created or already have. __________________ Characters: Gwynedda - 70 - Demon Warlock Galaviel - 65 - Resto Druid Gamaliel - 61 - Disc Priest Gwynytha - 60 - Survival Hunter Lienae - 60 - Resto Shaman Plus several others below level 60 Info Panel IDs : http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...818#post136818 Last edited by Xrystal : 03-23-10 at 09:52 PM.
