Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?

Version: 2.3.3

by: Seerah [More]

Note: This addon has been rewritten because of the changes to the quest tracker in WoD. Most everything has been re-implemented so far. (Button skinning has not been added yet, for example.)

KNOWN ISSUE: Blizzard's new quest tracker is very delicate and taints very easily, not allowing you to use quest items from the tracker itself. If this happens and a window pops up, click "Ignore". You can use one of several available addons to use quest items. I use the quest items ring on OPie, for example, or there is also QuickQuestItem or ExtraQuestButton or QuestItemButtonFix.

This addon will add many improvements to the new quest tracker frame. The slash command is /wfww. You may also alt-click the tracker's collapse button to access the options.

Features:

allows the quest tracker to be moved wherever you please
quest tracker will collapse in whichever direction it's anchored to (just up or down in WoD currently)
quest tracker remembers collapsed state
option to have scrollable quest tracker
adjust the scale of the quest tracker
adjust the font, font size, font flag (outline, etc.), or remove shadow
option to remove the art behind the section titles
adjust the spacing between lines (disabled in WoD currently)
give the quest tracker a background and/or border (border can be class-colored)
optional support for rActionButtonStyler to skin quest item buttons
adds a tooltip for quests to display their objective text
allows you to minimize/maximize (toggle) the tracker via keybind
option to automatically collapse the tracker when entering an instance or during pet battles
shortcuts added to the collapse button (toggle Quest Log, Achievement Frame, addon's options)
global or character specific profiles

History:
With the new quest tracker losing its ability to be moved freely, I set about adding support for it back into my minimap addon, PocketPlot. But it just wasn't as simple anymore with the way it was coded. So, I set out to create a standalone addon (or at least a module for PocketPlot). Originally named Movable WatchFrame, I started adding other features to the addon. Then I had to change its name, because it did much more than just moved the tracker. Thanks to Recompense for suggesting "Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?"

Looking for more?
These are other addons to enhance your questing experience which are tried and tested with WFWW. If you know of any more, let me know via PM and I can add them to this list.

Quelevel: Adds quest levels to the tracker, quest log, and gossip frames
Jobs'a'goodn: Plays sounds upon completion of quests and their objectives
QuestRouterLite: Adds the game's quest POIs to the minimap and works with TomTom to create waypoints for them automagically
TomTom: Allows you to set waypoints to destinations including a new feature to automatically show the way for quests
LightHeaded: Shows comments from the Wowhead website's quest database in a window attached to your quest log frame.

Known Issue:
If you alter the font size too much, you may have to reload your UI in order to have the quest tracker redrawn. Some text may also overlap if it flows onto a second line. In this case, consider adjusting the whole frame's scale instead.

v.2.3.3
- fix for Torghast anima buffs hiding in the scroll frame

v.2.3.2
- update for 9.0
- fixed backdrop errors
- updated for modified quest api

v.2.3.1
- fix for if WFWW catches PEW before the default ObjectiveTracker does

v.2.3
- update for BfA
- cleaned up options tables

v.2.2.1
- updated for Legion
- backend improvements for display of number of quests in log

v.2.2
- updated TOC for 6.2
- added new option to display number of quests in log at top of tracker
- fixed display of "Objectives" text when the tracker is scrolled and then minimized
- right-clicking the minimize button to show the quest log will now click "View All Quests" for you - which is the reason why you opened the log, right?

v.2.1.1
- fix bug with hidden scrollbar intercepting your mouse when you have scrolling disabled
- fix bug with pet battles (new objective tracker hides by default now, so WFWW's collapse in pet battles option now keeps the tracker from hiding, but will still collapse it)

v.2.1
- tracker now inside a scroll frame - maybe fixed taint with delicate quest item buttons???
- securehook tracker's SetPoint function instead of overwriting - this should help the delicate flower as well
(Note: nope, still broken)
- tracker now inside a scroll frame! - scroll through your quests and stuff (can disable in options)
- option to disable art behind section titles

v.2.0.1
- removed offending code that was causing taint that prevented you from using quest items - new tracker, why you have to be so delicate??? (this also caused an option or two to disappear, and you may need to reload the UI if making changes to the font or font size)
- yay, better solution to keybind code changes! (NOTE: do a clean install or delete the old bindings.xml file)
- fixed the nil "header" error
- catching a few more fontstrings

v.2.0

- bumped TOC version cause I forgot to before

v.1.5.1
- raise strata of collapse button so that its usable even if header text overlaps it from a large font size

v.1.5
- added a keybind to toggle (min/max) the quest tracker. You can set it in the WFWW options

v.1.4
- support for wide quest tracker feature for 3.3.3

v.1.3.1
- fixed bug when mousing over achievements. Now you'll see the tooltip for the achievement instead!

v.1.3
- added tooltip for quests in the tracker, displaying their objective text
- added support for nUI (to keep it from hogging the watch frame) - thanks, Xrystal! (I did not add nUI to the OptionalDeps line in the .toc, figuring that since WFWW starts with a W, it would load close to the end. PLEASE let me know if I need to fix anything!)
- added option to remove the font shadow
- organized options a bit better

v.1.2
- added option to hide the watch frame when no quests or achievements are being tracked

v. 1.1.1

eh... I'm not necessarily willing to put in the time to figure out how to hack it in at the moment. A scroll frame may come in the future, but no promises on that either... (Xrystal's mod will give you a scroll frame if you prefer to use that one.) What you can do, though, is use a different profile on one of the toons.

Xrystal nUI Maintainer Forum posts: 5935 File comments: 232 Uploads: 28	Okay, just tested it out with the nUI changes and it seems to be working fine. It still has the objectives mover frame when you trigger the display of them but so does my addon. Once I figure out what stops that from happening I'll let you know. However, it doesn't affect either of our addons from doing their jobs __________________ 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

Xrystal nUI Maintainer Forum posts: 5935 File comments: 232 Uploads: 28	In furtherance ( is that a word ? rofl ) of my last post I just tested out my suggestion and with the current setup of this addon the following change would be enough for this addon to work with nUI. At the beginning of SetUpContainer function put this before anything else. It looks to be enough to allow it to tell nUI to give control to wfww with the creation being in the OnUpdate routine instead of my initialisation stage : Code: if ( IsAddOnLoaded("nUI") ) then nUI_ResetWatchFrame = function() end; nUI_Movers:lockFrame( WatchFrame, false, nil ); nUI_Options.movedWatchFrame = true; end __________________ 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

Xrystal nUI Maintainer Forum posts: 5935 File comments: 232 Uploads: 28	I think I already explained to Nightmare why nUI users cannot use other watch frame addons. The reason being is that nUI initially takes control over the watch frame so that it has a minimal movement option. The section of code that seems to take that into account is as follows : Code: nUI_Movers:lockFrame( WatchFrame, false, nil ); nUI_Options.movedWatchFrame = true; That needs to be placed before any watchframe control changes. In my case I use it two times in my addon. Once after emptying nUI_ResetWatchFrame function but before creating the frame container and again after creating the frame that is to be its new parent ( outside of the info panel ) but before re-parenting. Although, thinking about it maybe only one of them is required but I am sure at the time I tested that but will see. I'm still working on getting my addon working alongside the PTR changes ready for the live patch whenever it happens. Seerah, those 2 lines there should hopefully be enough for your addon to work with nUI if you wish to add that compatibility in. Ah, you would also need to add the following during the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD phase but before creating the new frame : Code: nUI_ResetWatchFrame = function() end; The image Nightmare linked is what I was getting until I made those changes. It took me ages getting that part alone to work. Edit: Oh and also, set optionaldependencies or however it is written in the toc to include nUI so that if you have nUI it loads it up so the functions are available to use. __________________ 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 : 02-26-10 at 12:56 PM.

hmm don't really know what you mean, if you wantig me to change

if f.elapsed > .5 then to if f.elapsed > 5 then = to equal 5 sec you was talking about, than i did that and nothing changed. if that not what you mean than I have no idea what to change it to

hrm... Try this to see if it fixes it. Open up wfww.lua in any text editor. Scroll down to almost the bottom and find where it says

Code:

if f.elapsed > .5 then

This should be line 509, if you have an editor which displays line numbers.

This sets a delay of .5 seconds before the code is run (accounts for anything in the default UI lagging behind when the watch frame is created, etc). Change the number .5 to something larger. To be certain, you can try something like 5 seconds. Save the file and then relog or reload your game. If WFWW is set up properly, then this says that it's a loading order issue. If it still doesn't work, then I'll have to figure something else out.

no I don't want it in the info panel lol

your quest outline window shows up but the words objective and all quest start only where nui watch frame is sitting. Like I said I can change your outline spot but your thing doesn't take control of watch frame if I am using nui.

Plz look at screen shot to know what I mean.

You can see where nui (ones showing the quest) and you can see yours to know what I mean.

It should work with nUI, but if you mean make it fit into the info panel, then no. Here: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...atchFrame.html
