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!

dorn A Defias Bandit Forum posts: 2 File comments: 14 Uploads: 0	I've been using it a bit more for leveling a higher level alt and I've run into some annoyances. 1) Sometimes the arrow seems to want to stick to quests that are much further away than closer ones. Even if I stopped tracking that quest it would keep pointing the arrow at it. 2) It seems to be messing with the zone map icons. It'll erase them or resize them or do other various things. I'm using mapster so perhaps it's some sort of conflict.

What zone(s) are you in? I leveled from 1-43 in the last two days and it worked fine.

Same as i get. Astrolabe start shooting more than 50 error/sec during dungeons.

Using Mappy and Mapster along.

It already is. All the data for quests is provided by the WoW Server, not this addon =D

I haven't tried it leveling up yet, but it was any heroic that I was going in to while I was grinding out the goblin rep last night.

Thanks, didn't know that. Was getting a little annoyed at the UI earlier when some quests auto-accepted and some didn't.

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.

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.
