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)

Replace the first location (TOPLEFT) with TOPRIGHT like so: Code: WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", -15,-210) And when you open/close the quest tracker, quest tracker will expand off to the left, leaving the button exactly in place, instead of moving left-right whenever you close/open it.

This change makes it draggable with the mouse:

QuestMover.toc:

## Interface: 30300
## Title: |cffffd200<|cff42C0FBQuestMover|cffffd200>
## Version: 1.1
## Notes: Simply moves the Quest/Objective tracker
## Author: Lektra of Chromaggus-US - Mouse dragging by Redwood Elf
## SavedVariables: QuestMoverPoint

QuestMover.lua

QuestMover.lua:

WatchFrame:ClearAllPoints()
if QuestMoverPoint then
WatchFrame:SetPoint(QuestMoverPoint["p"],QuestMoverPoint["rt"],
QuestMoverPoint["rp"],QuestMoverPoint["xof"],QuestMoverPoint["yof"])
else
WatchFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", "UIParent", "TOPRIGHT", 350,-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(.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.
