FuBar_QuestsFu - WoW AddOns

WARNING: I don't actively use this myself any more. I wrote BetterQuest which I now use instead. If you're not incredibly wedded to FuBar, I'd recommend switching.

This is a quest-tracker replacement plugin for FuBar. It provides a tooltip which replicates /most/ of the information from the quest log. It can display (or not): quest level, difficulty, objectives, zones, and suchlike. It will put quest information into the tooltips for quest monsters and items. It will make quest levels appear when talking to NPCs.

If other people in your party are using QuestsFu it'll show you how many of each quest objective they've gathered.

If you want it to, and don't think it will annoy people, you can send a message to party chat when you advance a quest objective.

Shift-click on quests in the tooltip to copy the title to the chatbox if it's open.
Control+Shift-click on quests in the tooltip to copy their objectives and status to the chatbox if it's open.
Control-click on quests in the tooltip to share them with your party.
Alt-click on quests in the tooltip to add them to Blizzard's quest-tracker.

QuestsFu includes a replacement for the Blizzard built-in quest tracker, which can track more than 10 quests at a time. Right-click on it to adjust its scale and coloration. (Or alt-right-click if you've locked the tracker.)

Achievements show up in QuestsFu's tracker. Ain't that cool?

Certain thanks must be given to MonkeyQuest, which motivated me to write this by being everything that I wanted in a quest-tracker replacement while annoying me by putting a frame over a quarter of my screen.

I am using Fubar_QuestsFu with Bazooka and Fubar2Broker. I currently am using the default quest tracker and not the one in QuestsFu. If I open up the tooltip and Alt-Click a quest, it will show up in the default tracker. However, once it is being tracked, I cannot Alt-Click again to remove it from the default tracker. If I turn on the QuestsFu tracker and do the same thing, it seems to work. I was hoping that the issue with removing tracked quests from the default tracker could be fixed. Thank you for your time.

I found a version that was unofficially updated May 10th for 3.3. Use at your own risk obviously and feel free to delete this post if linking fan updates is against the rules.

Is this addon no longer under development? I love this addon and switched from fubar to LDB addons a while back and was hoping to see any type of recent activity so I could request a broker version since I really do miss having this and the audio.

I modified Blizz.lua to temporarily fix the problem.

You may look for "gossip_loop" and modify the code as the following codes.

local function gossip_loop(jump, buttonindex, do_texture, ...)
	local numQuests = select('#', ...)
	if numQuests == 0 then return buttonindex +1 end
	for i=2, numQuests, jump do
		local button = _G["GossipTitleButton"..buttonindex]
		local questTitle = button:GetText();
		local level = select(i, ...)
		--button:SetText(format('[%d] %s', select(i, ...), button:GetText()))
		--if questTitle ~= nil then
		if questTitle ~= nil and level ~= nil and level ~= -1 then
			button:SetText(format('[%d] %s', level, questTitle))
		end
		if do_texture then
			local texture = _G["GossipTitleButton"..buttonindex.."GossipIcon"]
			local _,_,_,_,_,objectives,complete = quixote:GetQuest(select(i-1, ...))
			if complete==1 or objectives==0 then
				texture:SetDesaturated(false)
			else
				texture:SetDesaturated(true)
			end
		end
		buttonindex = buttonindex + 1
	end
	return buttonindex + 1
end

function QuestsFu_Blizz:GOSSIP_SHOW()
	local buttonindex = 1
	if GetGossipAvailableQuests() then
		buttonindex = gossip_loop(5, buttonindex, false, GetGossipAvailableQuests())
	end
	if GetGossipActiveQuests() then
		buttonindex = gossip_loop(4, buttonindex, true, GetGossipActiveQuests())
	end
end

I'm running v3.3 and it's exhibiting some funny behavior. Namely, the Autowatch appears to ignore my settings, or some of them, and watches new quests whether I have it checked or not. In addition, it autowatches the wrong quests. When I pick up a new quest, or progress on a quest, the notification (via SCT) is accurate, but the quest that gets added to the tracker is the one listed directly below the correct quest in the quest log.

Not getting any errors, and adding quests by hand (ALT+click) works just fine.

Hey - Im running r421 and when i pick up a quest i get the following error

FuBar_QuestsFu-r43802\Blizz\Blizz.lua:244 attempt to index global 'QuestLogObjectivesText' (a nil value)
(tail call): ?:

Locals:
(*temporary) = "LeftButton"
(*temporary) = false
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = <function> defined =[C]:-1

And when im abandon a quest i get

FuBar_QuestsFu-r43802\Blizz\Blizz.lua:244 attempt to index global 'QuestLogObjectivesText' (a nil value)

Locals:
(*temporary) = "QUEST_LOG_UPDATE"
(*temporary) = "QUEST_LOG_UPDATE"
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = <function> defined =[C]:-1

--------------------------
UPDATE

I deleted the folder called Blizz inside Fubar_QuestFU folder and now it works without errors
