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!

Ok. I'll add an option for that too then.

Yea, right now QuestHelperLite takes full control of sorting the quest tracker.

I will be adding in an option to disable it in a future version. It's technically already there but you can't change it through the interface yet.

Update on my previous comment "re: quests randomly untracking themselves":

I did some investigating. I can force track the quests and they show up in the tracker, but when QH starts rearranging them based on whatever it uses to sort them, I'm assuming proximity, THAT'S when they un-track themselves. When I go and finish such quests, however, the finished quest becomes tracked again. FYI.

The next version or the one after that will have a GUI for options.

It has worked for every character, on every machine I have tried it on. And it uses background processes in WoW, not outside of WoW.

If you want to help, please list your quests. My guess is that there is a quest or two that is breaking the path finding algorithm.

That probably means it can't find a path for some reason. What quests are you on?

I type /qh and it tells me what I can do, but nothing opens, and there is no trail, and I've made sure that trail is on, and I turned arrow off cause it's not picking up quests, and when I track my quests with the default track option, the little yellow circles next to each quest with numbers or ? marks on it, flicker (disappear and reappear). There is no error given.
