QuestHelperLite

Version: 6.0.3.a

by: wakezero [More]

QuestHelperLite is an unofficial branch of QuestHelper aimed at providing the core subset of features in a slimmed down lighter version. Although some of the code and art assets of QuestHelper have been utilized, QuestHelperLite has been rewritten from the ground up and is in no other way affiliated with QuestHelper and those who have worked on it in the past.

The main deviation from QuestHelper comes from not utilizing a custom database to store quest objectives and locations. Instead QuestHelperLite gets all of it's info from the game itself. This has the advantage of providing a more compact addon without the need to update once new quests are available in game. If WoW knows about it, so does QuestHelperLite. Although this provides for a much lighter and compact addon, it is not without faults and some features of the old QuestHelper are not currently possible.

The core subset of features included in QuestHelperLite are as follows:

* Quest Pathing - Calculates an optimal route for you to follow while questing
* Tracking Arrow - A configurable arrow guides you to your next objective
* World Map Icons - Quest objectives are viewable outside of your current zone
* Ant Trails - Ant trails show the best calculated optimal route
* Context Menus - Context menus are displayed when you right-click objectives
* Ignorable Objectives - Ignore unwanted objectives

QuestHelperLite will stay updated with donors like you!

When with this addon play nicely with TomTom ? 2. Can I disable QHL's Tracking Arrow ? If so, will this allow QHL to play nicely with TomTom ? EDIT - Question 2 I can now say isn't possible as disabling the arrow has no affect on QHL and TomTom playing nicely. Having both running will eventually cause the game to lock up Last edited by Daveo77 : 11-21-10 at 08:47 PM.

I therefore have two questions...

1. When with this addon play nicely with TomTom ?
2. Can I disable QHL's Tracking Arrow ?
If so, will this allow QHL to play nicely with TomTom ?

EDIT - Question 2 I can now say isn't possible as disabling the arrow has no affect on QHL and TomTom playing nicely. Having both running will eventually cause the game to lock up

So I downloaded the latest version of TomTom and I haven't had any problems running both at the same time. I compared both versions and found nothing that should be overlapping.

Please note that this version is required for the new patch (and Cata) because the zone positions and sizes have changed. Please also note that there may still be some bugs as I work with the new world format: - Added GUI Options Panel - Added Update Interval Option - Fixed Performance Leak

Similarly, I've noticed QHL likes to monopolize all tracking decisions. There are quests I can't untrack because it re-tracks it instantly. Maybe disable that "feature" as well. No overriding the player's tracking decisions.

There is now an option to disable the auto sorting of the quest tracker. If you don't have QuestHelperLite auto sort your quest tracker, then you will need to manually track your quests.

In the future I may add a hybrid between the two if there is enough demand for it. You can make requests on the donation pages.

Pataze A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 6 File comments: 12 Uploads: 0	Not sure whats going on. I just installed this with the new patch today. When I look at the main map I see ant trails to the spot i need to go but there is no marker showing up on the map. Like I said, I am new to this addon. I was using questhelper full version but I like the idea of the lite. Maybe I have something turned off, tho I went through the options. Thank You

I have also been having other issues with Mapster, unrelated to QuestHelperLite. I had to stop using it because it would freeze up for a few seconds at a time on me.

Akephalos A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	Works great so far, looking forward to playing around in the updated zones with it! Time and resources permitting, the only thing that I might like to see is an option to limit the processing of quest objectives to only those quests selected for tracking in the quest journal. Turning off the autosorting option almost works in this manner, but I have run into a couple scenarios where the quest pathing / tracking arrow is insisting I complete a group-quest objective, despite the fact that quest isn't flagged for tracking (and I'm not in a group). The functionality to ignore the objective entirely is a short term workaround, so it's not a critical request, but perhaps others would find it useful as well? Either way, thanks for the efforts on this, it's much appreciated.

Ya, I've been doing continued testing with a brand new character. I would like to add filtering by level, group etc. in the future.

Had you tried the latest Alpha builds of Mapster? I was having the problem yesterday with Mapster and the QHL icons not showing up on the main map, and removing Mapster did fix it, but that sort of just leads me from one problem to another because I hate the default game map with a passion. I did install the Alpha build last night, and that didn't fix the issue, but it may fix some of your freezing issues.
