Quests2Watch

Version: 1.3 r185
by: Cargor [More]

Short description: Quest Timer to Stopwatch Frame!

With 2.4 Blizzard added the new time managing options, but I for myself never needed some kind of stopwatch in WoW. On the other side it has a nice simple clock design - while the quest timer frame is a more blocky thing. So why not move the countdown for timed quests into the stopwatch?
And so Quests2Watch was born.

This simple addon without any configuration does exactly this when there is one timed quest active. If you're running more than one timed quest (which is rather unlikely ), the original Quest Timer Frame is displayed. This addon provides also two uhmm..special features (!):
- move over the stopwatch to get a tooltip of the timed quest
- Play/pause/reset buttons are disabled while running a timed quest (To prevent comments like "I've clicked on pause, but my quest still expired" )

And please don't use /sw or any similar stopwatch-command when you're running a timed quest - of course this would prevent the addon from working correctly. If you notice that the time displayed differs from the time in your questlog, click on a zone header on the questlog - this should update the time. (This happens mostly when you're running a timed quest and are relogging)

If you have bugs, feature suggestions or want to drop a comment, feel free to do so.

Version 1.3
- code rewrite
- now ready for WotLK!

Version 1.2
- It will load Blizzard_TimeManager frame by itself if it is not loaded (so that the stopwatch can be shown)

Version 1.1
- fixed the error message displaying when StopwatchFrame was not loaded.

Has this been proven to work with Patch 3.3, even though it's not updated for Patch 3.3?

Thanks! I'm glad that you like it

Yes, it shows and hides automatically on timed quest start/end. (I have my stopwatch also hidden most of the time)

Very nice idea, the original quest timer frame blows a fat one.

nice

i was thinking to myself that blizz should of just used the stopwatch for timed quests. i always hated the timed quests block cause it was not moveable.

one question though, will this pop up the stopwatch for a timed quest even if the stopwatch is hidden? hoping so because i have mine hidden and timed quests is probably the only thing i would use it for.
