WowAce

Would really be nice to let users know if this one will be updated. I pretty much hope so, it's really a useful thing to have. If not, please let us know here, Kemayo. Thanks for the work so far .-)

Please update this

Please update this.

Or, you could download WowMatrix. It's free and is a two-click update for all of the addons it supports, which is most of them. They're also adding support for more addons all the time.

Wowmatrix ... is that not the site that gives ABSOLUTELY NO credit to the original authors?

Wowmatrix .. is that not the program the does not HOST the addon's but STEALS bandwidth from the site it is originally hosted on stopping people from visiting the original site to help support them from ad revenue?

As far as I'm concerned you should be banned from ever entering this site.

Only ONE statement in that entire diatribe is correct. WoWmatrix gives credit to authors, links to the site from which it downloads the mod AND authors can ask that their mod not be included in WoWmatrix.

Please to keep up to date, and stop with the 'holier than thou' attitudes. Kthanx.

Yes, this is just another of my favorite ace2/fubar mods that has been abandoned. Because of the ease of updating and general quality of ace2/fubar mods, almost all my mods were fubar. It is sad and a little depressing to have no found any of the ace2/fubar authors update the mods, or at least step forward and say what's the reason behind abandoning us.

well 1 reasojn is that WoWAce is with curse now, i think that is one reasone why, I dont like it either, I loved the WAU, and now its gone for 1 client you need to pay for to get the auto update stuff and all... kinda lame.

After testing that link, it fixes the the lack of error text, but that would be because the rest of the "Player status" module, and also the "Party status" module are now broken. The fix is no more than the breaking of something else, I personally discovered this trying to fix the new errors from that linked version.

However, to fix the problem, without breaking the addon anymore (like that link I only changed 1 line, well, commented it out anyway.

If you open up the file AddOns\FuBar_QuestsFu\PlayerNotify\PlayerNotify.lua, find the line (near the bottom) and add "--" to the start of the line which says "self:Hook("UIErrorsFrame_OnEvent", true)", you should fix the problem, but also not break other parts of the addon.

Actually alot of fubar addons you can replace with Brokerlibs because it doesn't limit its use based on if you have fubar installed or not.. also you can get BetterQuest which isn't based around fubar and is made by the same author. Another thing to note with wau you would get updates every single time an addon changed which was kinda like alpha quality.. but with the new curse you can only request beta/release quality which balances out bandwidth

here is a version that fixes the not displaying of the game error messages

Thanks. It seems odd that all the original developers of these FuBar mods have disappeared, even though they were regularly updating prior to 3.0.2.

yea indeed ah well i found that fix on the WoWAce site but no developer who takes the time to implement it. ahh well it works now :P

I just figured out that this addon was causing my alerts (e.g. "You can't loot that yet.", "Requires 375 mining.") to not show up. Going under the menu to Modules > Player Status, and UNCHECKING it, makes it work again. I'm not sure of the cause.

Also, didn't this addon at one point have a version dated AFTER 3.0.2-release? Now it's back to 29Sep. I could have sworn I only downloaded addons that were updated post-3.0.2.

Any word on the Quest/Objectives Completed sounds not firing? No one else has mentioned it, so I'd guess it's just a problem on my end, except they still don't fire off even if I disable all AddOns except QuestsFu (and FuBar 3.5 of course). Can't figure it out.

In Reply to KingsTears...

I'm just a user of this mod and I saw your comments so I thought I'd see if I can help

you out. I had these same questions/issues too.


=====> Regarding the "quest tracking box that won't go away or hide":

Right click on the QuestFu item in your FuBar. Near the top of that list, you should see an item called "Modules". Go into that sub-menu and turn of the checkbox for "Detached". This will make that ever-present quest tracker go away.

I don't understand why this addon needs to have this new "Detached" module in addition to it's standard FuBar-style detachable tooltip. The two views contain almost identical information. The only improvement I can see in the Detached module is that it has better folding as well as a summary of your quest count at the top.

To the addon author... Why not just put all this information in main addon tooltip and just get rid of the Detached module? It's not really necessary and in my view, it clutters up the screen and makes things more complicated than they need to be. I've been using QuestFu for well over a year and when I really wanted to have a persistant window of my quests open on the screen, I would just detach the regular tooltip from the FuBar menu and it was more than adequate for tracking my quests during alt leveling etc. So, get rid of the "Detatched" module.

Ask yourself, is this a case of Creeping Featuritis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_creep)?


=====> About the Quixote annoyance

Right click the QuestFu item on your FuBar and again, go into the Modules subdirectory. this time, turn off "PartyLog". This will remove those Quixote messages.

As with "Detatched", is this feature really necessary? Do we need to have the capability of rummaging through someone else's quest logs? I think there is enough stuff to keep up with in WoW withouth having to worry about what other people have in their Quest Logs. But it doesn't matter because this part of the Plugin is broken in any case. So just uncheck this PartyLog option in the Modules directory and it will remove those cluttering Quixote messages from your screen.

Hope this helps.

In general this seems to be a really neat mod. There's lots of options and things going on, but I don't have a clue what is doing what. I have at least 3 issues, most have been mentioned below.

1)The sounds are not consistent, sometimes I hear them, sometimes not. End of the quest sound worked once that I can remember when set to faction.
2)The quest tracking box that won't go away or hide. I got Fubar so I don't have boxes hanging around the screen.
3)Do I care if my party members have Quioxite? Do I? Why is this in the middle of my screen?

It would be nice if there was an interface for this on the UI menu that gave some tooltip info to what all these option mean. Who and what is being notified and when and where?

Which problem does this fix?

A fix for the error-problem can be found here: http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=14234

Just replace line 72-75 from Fubar_QuestFu\PlayerNotify\PlayerNotify.lua with the following lines:

function QuestsFu_PlayerNotify:UIErrorsFrame_OnEvent(self, event, message)
if QuestsFu_PlayerNotify.db.profile.suppress and event == "UI_INFO_MESSAGE" and message:match("^.+: ?%d+/%d+$") then return end
return QuestsFu_PlayerNotify.hooks.UIErrorsFrame_OnEvent(self, event, message)
end

Works fine for me..
