FuBar_QuestsFu

Table of Contents

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

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.

Since BC I use FuBar_QuestsFu and no longer works in WoD. :(
I use Quester as an alternative until a new update comes. http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/quester
FuBar_QuestsFu is a good addon. Thank you.

Those who are incredibly wedded to fubar (or just this great addon with fubar2broker) can try the following to get it running at least a bit in 5.0.4.

Update LibQuixote-2.0 to for example r98

Change row 670 in QuestsFu.lua to: for i=1, GetNumSubgroupMembers(), 1 do

Change row 107 in Details.lua to for example: GameTooltip:SetOwner(UIParent, 'ANCHOR_PRESERVE', 7, -18)

There might be more errors but I seem to be able to use it the way I used to with this. Wohoo.

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 like this addon a lot, it's aesthetic and intuitive, and I prefer it to the default tracker, however I have to keep the default tracker around (usually minimized) because of one problem:

When a quest requires me to use an item, such as throwing pieces of food to gryphons, there is an icon beside the quest in the default tracker that allows me to do so. (the quest items don't always appear in your bags).

Any remedy? Other than that, A+

It currently appears that this addon causes overall fps loss, as well as further fps dips whenever the questlog is updated (quests being added to/removed from it or quest progress being made). Too bad BetterQuest doesn't have all the good stuff from QuestsFu (yet?).

Any idea how to remedy this error that comes up at boot of game? Did as LeisureLarry said below but still comes back on reboot of game.

@Kemayo: Thanks for the update 4.0.1A. But even updating to this version, I had to delete the Lib AceComm from the toc-file/Lib-folder and to update LibQuixote to r91.

I'm also having the Ace-Comm-2.0 error but it doesn't seem to do any serious harm. Questfu is working ok on 6 toons. But on 2 toons the following error shows up and Questfu doesn't work at all. Weird thing is: only on my priest and my rogue. Any ideas?

Would you shortly describe or show screenshot of this addon? I don't usually blindly download addons, completely not knowing what they are for.
