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 Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.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

Would anyone be willing to upload a working version anywhere? Even if the stated it's only temporary until the author uploads a working version..

D-Town, many thanks. I added in details/details.lua Find/Replace - Replace "GetDifficultyColor" with "GetQuestDifficultyColor" to get rid of an other error.

Same here, I've done a "dirty patch" as recommended, but mine is still broken.

Still broken, even with the patches below. Clicking a quest to open the quest log entry fails.

I haven't tested this much, but this seems to work so far. I'm not much of a lua developer, but I can certainly look at diff logs and try to make sense of them :)

1. QuestsFu.lua: Find/Replace - Replace "QuestDifficultyColor" with "QuestDifficultyColors"

2. QuestsFu.lua: Find/Replace - Replace "GetDifficultyColor" with "GetQuestDifficultyColor"

3. Blizz\Blizz.lua: Find/Replace - Replace "QUESTS_DISPLAYED" with "#QuestLogScrollFrame.buttons"

Thanks to D-Town and dayfvid for your fixes.

The final fix that I would recommend would be in the file LibQuixote-2.0.lua (\lib\LibQuixote-2.0).

Replace "QuestLog_OpenToQuestIndex" with "QuestLog_SetSelection". (Line 842)

I will be terribly saddened to no longer here "More Work!" and "Job's Done!" when I complete stages of quests/quests. At this point in time, I have disabled QuestsFu to allow me to accept quests again.

I agree. Hearing the mod tell me "Job's Done" filled me with a sense of accomplishment and also told me on night's when I was grinding rep to stop now and turn in. =)

Your mod still nukes Blizz's UI. Good luck and a speedy session fixing things.

So beyond broken in 3.2. Dangit. Hope a fix comes soon! I so've gotten used to hearing 'Job's done' that I keep questing if I don't hear it. Sad, huh? lol

One minor bug: When I have zero quests in my quest log, the menu bar display shows "01FE01001FE01" (in magenta) instead of "0" (in white) as the number of quests completed. That is, the display shows "01FE01001FE01/0/25" (with "Total" on) or "01FE01001FE01/0" (with "Total" off) instead of "0/0/25" or "0/0". (I filed a bug report at WoWInterface.)

Otherwise, nice addon! Its quest tracker is a definite improvement over the default one (Why couldn't Blizzard have made quest names and objectives wrap instead of truncating with a "..."?), and I like how it shows the quest level numbers, too.
