August 20, 2009: I have started the tear-down/rebuild of this addon and will keep this description updated as I go. My path will be:
1) DONE - Thanks Fyrye. Update the libraries so we can get it working without yelling at you, albeit with a bit of tweaking
2) Update the code to work with the new questlog api
3) Recode and reduction of external library dependancy

the 1ine: sorry for the late reply. Looks like they changed some things in their [tags] code so it didn't look ok. It should be fixed now, try the fix again. :)

It looks like this project has been abandoned. Sad day. Silentdave's fix worked, but it would still be nice to have an update.

Just so it's known, there appears to be a mod conflict between AuctioneerAdvanced and nquestlog. Disabling Auctioneer resolved the line80 error for me.

You can disable nquestlog notification by going /nquestlog config, disable it will make the progress update appears only once

Disable nquestlog objectives updates, they're identical to the blizzard ones (assuming you have them set to error frame output).

But yes - there is still some dust settling with the API changes blizz have made.

sorry to say, i have no ideas other than double check that you did the fix correctly, I can only really help on errors that I experience, maybe a fresh download and reinstall + fix nquestlog.

I am not sure if my problem is similar or different from the one discussed below. nQuestLog shows in my FuBar, I can hover my mouse pointer over that and get the options for click/alt-click/etc. When I click on it, nothing happens. Basically I cannot get the quest list to show up. I can get the option menu to show and have tried reseting the position just in case it moved itself off the screen but no luck.

I have done the .lue editing mentioned below.

Any ideas on what my issue may be caused by??

I'm getting this error. It also seems to be causing problems with another addon.

2009/04/16 12:42:27-1347-x25]: MobMap-MobMap v3.30\MobMap_itemdropdata.lua:90: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'data' (a nil value)

As you can see, it says nQuestLog stuff in there a lot.

I have mobmap 3.3 also with no problems.

however, that looks as if nquestlog is not interfacing properly with mobmap, maybe do a fresh install of both addons (delete the existing addon folders and download unzip install fresh copies of both and dont forget the quick fix for nquestlog). I must also add that I use tinytip for my ingame tooltips so it isnt beyond possibility that blizz has changed some stuff there that tinytip is bypassing.

SilencerFA: thats due to function names being changed left, right and centre withing the API, track those changes down and change them - fixes most of the immediate problems.

Kaistina: Did you try my 5minute fix a few posts down? (Below vsaR 1SK's immense post) but i've copy-pasted here so it is not lost for people looking for help.

Quick fix for most of the users of this addon -

open interface/addons/nquestlog/modules/blizzardframes/blizzardframes.lua with notepad or similar and do the following:

- search replace "QuestWatchFrame" and replace it with "WatchFrame" (1 instance of this)
- search replace "QuestWatch_Update" and replace it with "WatchFrame_Update" (4 instances of this)
- save the file and that's that as far as I can tell atm.

All other addon-breaking issues seem to be external to nquestlog so check your other addons if this applies to you (my UI consists of over 80 addons! so if it works for me and other people..)

Just an FYI in general - I am not maintaining this addon, nor do I have any intention to do so, I simply use it myself and have some experience with lua, so I looked at the problem and fixed it.

Aside from the minor issue with nquestlog not being able to surpress the default tracker frame (you can do this by shift clicking quests in the blizzard-default questlog anyway) it all works fine for me, so thats as far as I'll go with it. I'm not too mythered about the duplicate objective updates in the message frames either if anything it helps me as i often find myself missing them updates so now I get it twice lol

with the latest beta release messages from the Blizzard Standard-UI aren't suppressed - this means that you receive messages twice instead of once.

Hope this will be fixed :)

If the double objective updates are annoying you that much, just simply turn them off in nquestlog and leave the default blizzard ones (there's no difference anyway). I like having it twice but thats just me as I direct my nquestlog messages out to sct's bottom message frame so I get it at the bottom AND the top of my screen.
