QuestRouterLite was inspired by addons like TourGuide, QuestHelper, and Carbonite. With the release of 3.3 and specifically Points of Interest for quests, it is now possible to shed libraries like LightHeaded, if all you want is simple quest routing.
QuestRouterLite only uses Blizzard-provided information, so the locations are accurate, and there's virtually no additional memory use.
If you want to simply and cleanly go from one quest to another, QuestRouterLite is your addon.
Update Modes
When I started this addon I tried to make something comparable to QuestHelper or Carbonite, only using the quest events - turns out this isn't really possible.
So now QuestRouterLite has two major modes. You can either run without the timed updates and use only the quest events, or use periodic updates much like the other major questing addons. Timed updates are on by default, as I believe this is closer to my goal and gives a smoother and more accurate experience. If you want to turn them off, you can. The updating itself is so minimal that even with this on, it barely chews any cycles.
Current Version
I have managed to get blobs tracking with the minimap - however, due to the way Blizzard handles the blob, it is a rather hacked method. Because of this, swapping between the world and minimap is currently glitchy, and without a masking feature in the WoW API, the blobs run off the minimap. It may be impossible to fix this, but I will keep trying. Use of the minimap blobs is at your discretion - and is off by default.
Please report any bugs, issues, or feature requests.
TomTom Required
While there is a feature that will automatically select the closest quest on your map, the addon relies on TomTom to provide easy navigation to the next quest.

QRL + TomTom Question
TomTom uses the lightheaded addon to supply info as far as I know so in order to use QRL do I need to have lightheaded? I'm trying to find a questing addon that doesn't need alot of memory to run and still helps me out... anyways if you don't need lightheaded to run QRL and have the arrow of tomtom point the way that would be awsome....
thanks |

Taint issues
Not that this is terribly bothersome, but it looks like there's a taint issue with the WorldMapBlobFrame. I can't be sure (other than combat) what specifically triggered it. I did not have my world map open at any time during this session.
Relevant portion of taint log: Code:
4/16 00:11:56.685 An action was blocked in combat because of taint from QuestRouterLite - WorldMapBlobFrame:Show() 4/16 00:11:56.685 Interface\FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua:1458 WorldMapFrame_DisplayQuests() 4/16 00:11:56.685 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:436 <unnamed>:SetPOIMap() 4/16 00:11:56.685 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:377 <unnamed>:SetClosestPOI() 4/16 00:11:56.685 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:350 <unnamed>:Update() 4/16 00:11:56.685 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:621 4/16 00:11:57.693 An action was blocked in combat because of taint from QuestRouterLite - WorldMapBlobFrame:Show() 4/16 00:11:57.693 Interface\FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua:1458 WorldMapFrame_DisplayQuests() 4/16 00:11:57.693 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:436 <unnamed>:SetPOIMap() 4/16 00:11:57.693 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:377 <unnamed>:SetClosestPOI() 4/16 00:11:57.693 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:350 <unnamed>:Update() 4/16 00:11:57.693 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:612 4/16 00:12:00.741 An action was blocked in combat because of taint from QuestRouterLite - WorldMapBlobFrame:Show() 4/16 00:12:00.741 Interface\FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua:1458 WorldMapFrame_DisplayQuests() 4/16 00:12:00.741 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:436 <unnamed>:SetPOIMap() 4/16 00:12:00.741 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:377 <unnamed>:SetClosestPOI() 4/16 00:12:00.741 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:350 <unnamed>:Update() 4/16 00:12:00.741 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:112 4/16 00:12:00.979 An action was blocked in combat because of taint from QuestRouterLite - WorldMapBlobFrame:Show() 4/16 00:12:00.979 Interface\FrameXML\WorldMapFrame.lua:1458 WorldMapFrame_DisplayQuests() 4/16 00:12:00.979 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:436 <unnamed>:SetPOIMap() 4/16 00:12:00.979 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:377 <unnamed>:SetClosestPOI() 4/16 00:12:00.979 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:350 <unnamed>:Update() 4/16 00:12:00.979 Interface\AddOns\QuestRouterLite\QuestRouterLite.lua:117

Re: Re: sigh
I did a sarch for RemoveQuestWatch() function in all of my addons running - Notepad++ didn't find it anywhere. EDIT: I understand, ignore above. The default tracker, doesn't really remove completed quests, but changes the quest to a completed state with the objectives removed.

Re: sigh
I really don't know what could be doing that. I don't even have the RemoveQuestWatch() function anywhere in the code. Do you have Include Completed quests on? |

Lyncks, with the new Blizzard tracker is there a setting we should keep it at? Does using "Proximity" or "Manual" impact QRL at all?
Also, I'm still getting completed quests disappearing from the tracker. Only addons i'm using are this, Mapster, TomTom, and Who Framed Watcher Rabbit (which confirmed is not doing this). Any idea? Doesn't make sense that it would be QRL... |

I'm getting an error and I'm not sure if it's the Who Framed Watcher Wabbit mod or QuestRouterLite causing it, so I'm going to mention it to both of you. There's no error message or bug report, unfortunately, it's just a visual thing.
I have QRL set up to show only the next quest in the tracker log. I'm in Booty Bay and just turned in a quest to Sea Wolf Mackinley and then immediately accepted the quest "Cracking Maury's Foot". The watch frame updated to show the new quest - but there's a blue patch in the watch frame now. I know what it is - it's the colored area that Bliz's new map displays to show the location of a quest target. But I'm not sure why it's showing up in the watch frame. I did a couple of quests prior to this one, and the location map didn't show up like this. So like I said, I'm not sure where this coming from. Here's a screenshot showing the tracker and what I'm on about: http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/w...QuestError.jpg |

Testing
Okay, tested further with Blizzard's quest tracker only. Functionality seems much the same as Blizzard's track quest by proximity and is working just fine. The stutter effect is nearly gone so much to the point that sometimes I don't even see it . Out of zone functionality is not always working but this seems to be a Blizzard issue not an addon issue. Sometimes Blizzard simply does not add the damn quest blobs to the zone maps (tried messing around with map settings and on rare occasion I can force them to show up but most of the time it's a no go...maybe they will fix this sometime this freakin century but I doubt it). Needless to say, if these aren't there then this mod can't track them. (Quick let's go flame Blizzard! ) The skip command is also working just fine as far as I can tell. Tested it by skipping half a dozen quests then clearing them.
Would love to see some further route coding as the closest thing is not always the most optimal thing to do and at times has me running back and forth like an idiot (stupid OCD with following the damn arrow *grumbles*). I have no idea how to do this without saving information and making the quest mod huge which is exactly what you are trying not to do; but when you figure it out I'd be more than happy to test it for you. |

So, the reason that the map keeps zooming out is that Astrolabe is returning the cosmic map as where the player is (as they aren't in a "valid" zone) and so QRL is zooming to where Astrolabe told it where the player is. The reason that the waypoints don't work in the DK starting area is because Astrolabe doesn't have those zones as valid, and has no information on them. The map zooming, I can fix. Unfortunately any instanced area (dungeons, BGs, and the DK starting area) is going to be invalid for placing waypoints through TomTom. So I'm sorry, but the DK area is a no go I'll get the map fix up soon. |
