BetterQuest

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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

BetterQuest provides an improved quest tracker, and enhances the blizzard quest log.

If other people in your party are using BetterQuest, FuBar_QuestFu, or anything else that uses the LibQuixote-2.0 library, it'll display their quest status.

It can automatically track quests when you get near them, play sounds when you complete quests, and do other wild and wacky things.

I use the DoubleWide mod to see a larger Quest Log window. When I turn on BetterQuest's option to show levels in quest log, the quest log gets...out of synch? Something screwy.

I don't think so -- if I wanted everything to change in proportion, there's an actual scale option for that. ("Frame" tab.)

When you change the font size the line spacing doesn't change, this makes changing the font size useless

I don't know whether Asia has 3.1 but if they already got it then any Pre-3.1

compatibility should be removed because users of illegal realms shouldn't be supported.

Korea/Taiwan(zhTW) would up to 3.1 on this week. (if no any delay again...)

But China(zhCN), no one know what date they can up to WotLK/3.1...they're still stuck at TBC 3.0.5(no, NOT "WOTLK 3.0.x"!) and "stupid publisher-related of drama" happens right now.

(The 3.0.5 is China only release... a modified Pre-WotLK 3.0.3 version for China.)

It's not working... To shut off the default tracker that is...
I also miss the quest log double wide. I don't use the tracker only, I use the log itself to remind me what rewards are and it's still the pathetic little dink window blizzard has. :P

Europeans already got 3.1

I don't know whether Asia has 3.1 but if they already got it then any Pre-3.1 compatibility should be removed because users of illegal realms shouldn't be supported.

PS: Thanks a lot for the mod.

Seems really good addon but I seem to have one problem with it in 3.1. Blizzard tracking frame still stays there, making it just messy.

BetterQuest seems to block the UIErrorFrame from showing things, happens with the recent build.

This should be fixed in the latest build, thanks to Arrowmaster for fixing my fix. :)

I'd like to add a feature request. I prefer to have my tracker in one specific spot due to how my UI is set up. That is fine under normal solo and group conditions. However it does cause an issue when I enter into raids or battlegrounds. Can you add the choice or ability to hide it when you are in a raid? Also, I am having a problem with the level of transparency, meaning even though I have it set to be solid there is always some degree of transparency left.

I absolutely LOVE this mod. I use it exclusively to track quests I am currently making progress on in the Zone and nearby zones. I do not use the full feature at all. I do have a couple of suggestions though. Is it possible to add a feature where it will hide the tracker (meanwhile it still works in the background) once you enter into Raid Status? I dislike having to manually change that each time I am going to raid or BG. Also, I prefer to have the box a solid color w/ no transparency. I have mine set to 100% but it still is not solid. Any way to change this? Lastly, any chance you could add a skinner to it? I'd love to use the same texture I have on the borders of my UI to frame this mod. These are all small issues and won't stop me from using the mod, but they certainly would put it far and above the rest of the similar type mods out there!

Thank you soooo much for all the hard work you put into your mods. I truly appreciate all of the time and attention you put into your mods.

When I look at the top of this entry, it says last updated 3 days ago with the current version being BetterQuest-r74764.11. Yet when I look in the downloads section of this page, it says version BetterQuest-r74764.11 was last updated 9/29/2008. How do I find the real latest version of this addon? I am having this problem with several addons from Curse but nowhere else. I'd like to solve it, as I find addons like this to be very helpful.

A quick comment on Kitson06's question. Mine does announce to the whole party, and them to me, but only to other people who are also using betterquest. I am not sure if there is a way to dump that to the party channel or not.
