QuestPointer

Table of Contents

QuestPointer puts the quest POI icons from the world map onto your minimap.

It'll integrate with TomTom's crazyarrow, if you have it installed. Click the broker plugin or type "/qp closest" to have the crazyarrow point to the current closest quest POI.

You can choose to:

Track World Quests, too
Auto-track the closest POI in TomTom
Only show icons for quests you're watching
Make icons on the edge of the minimap become arrows to make it more obvious that they're far away
Change the icon scale

TODO:

Arrowed-icons should include the number/icon that the closer ones use

PLEASE update this addon, I hate having to check on my world map all the time.

Is there another addon that serves the same function?

I have tested some version of questpointer. QuestPointer-v6-1-g2c04fde is working fine with 4.3.0a except the same quest's coordinates are printed multiple time when I turned on tomtom's new coordinates added message, Anyway it is adding automaticaly new quest point.

But After QuestPointer-v6-1-g2c04fde is not adding any new quest point. So I can use only manuly add new quest point with ctrl-right click on worldmap. I am using Korean client and tomtom is latest version.

First of all, Thank for such a great addon. I have used questpointer and tomtom. My client is Korean. It was fine. Recently (I think after 4.03a or 4.0.3).QustPointer have not worked. I can't see any tomtom's news coordinate added message.

Tomtom :1.0.5 Qustpointer : 7-3 !BlizzBugsSuck 4.0.3.2 (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info17002-BlizzBugsSuck.html)

Whenever I executed "/qp closest', It just opened qp's option panel ,instead of marking closest way point.

The reason that QP is no longer working with TomTom is that Astrolabe:GetCurrentPlayerPosition() has changed what it returns. The first two values returned used to be CurrentMapContinent and CurrentMapZone but are now CurrentMapAreaID and CurrentMapDungeonLevel. Astrolabe:PlaceIconOnMinimap expects the new values but TomTom:AddZWaypoint still expects the old values. A temporary fix is to update QuestPointer/TomTom.lua by adding:
local pc, pz
right after
local t = 0
and then change
tomtompoint = TomTom:AddZWaypoint(closest.c, closest.z, closest.x * 100, closest.y * 100, closest.title, false, false, false, false, false, true)

to
pc, pz = GetCurrentMapContinent(), GetCurrentMapZone()
tomtompoint = TomTom:AddZWaypoint(pc, pz, closest.x * 100, closest.y * 100, closest.title, false, false, false, false, false, true)

ShowUIPanel(WorldMapFrame) --WorldMapFrame:Show() -- bad boy, use proper API by blizzard to show it properly ;)

A minor fix; find "WorldMapFrame:Show()" and replace with "ShowUIPanel(WorldMapFrame)" (line ~241)

Properly shows the world map when clicking on POI icons on the minimap. :)

I've updated both TomTom and QuestPointer to the latest versions (even tried deleting and doing fresh installs of both) and I'm still having issue #1.

I had the same issue. Deleted saved variables of both mods and downgrading to QP v6 fixed the problem.

[Bug] QuestPointer v7 - 4.0.3a

1. QuestPointer is no longer talking with TomTom to get auto-tracking.
2. In the Interface options the tooltip on the bottom two options are the same.
3. When QuestPointer is enabled the Objective Number Icon in the minimap sometimes stays stuck in the corner when it moves in the Field of View on the minimap.

Resoultion for #1, #3. Downgrade back to QuestPointer v6

TomTom has since been updated to use the same version of Astrolabe that QuestPointer v7 does. Install TomTom v40000-1.0.4 from this site.

With the updated TomTom, issue "#1" mentioned above has for sure been fixed; #3 might be.

I seem to be having difficulty getting auto-tracking with TomTom working since Tuesday's patch. Any suggestions?

I was told to use this with my tomtom since tomtom stopped working when QH quit. I have the arrow up with lightheaded but nothing i've done has made the auto track work. I can't tell that this addon is doing anything. There is nothing on my minimap nor is tomtom doing it's auto thing. It's probably user error but I've already tried everything everyone else has suggested so I decided to try here. I have tomtom, questguru, lightheaded and this one installed and i'm not sure if it matters but i also have mapster. I've enabled all the auto options I can find but it doesn't help. Any advice would be appreciated I miss my auto arrow LOL

I followed Adirelle's fix, and so far so goo. All my quest markers numbers now match between my world map and minimap.

Kemayo, if you integrate those fixes and release it I'm sure many in the community would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the awesome addon!

Was playing earlier this afternoon, and for some reason the QuestPointer markers on my minimap were all #+1 over the markers that were displaying on my world map (ie., quest marker (1) on the world map was showing up as marker (2) on the minimap).

I did install TourGuide, so I'm not sure if that was had anything to do with it.

Hi.

I just installed this yesterday and I like it very much except it has one flaw, imo.

Can you fix this? See screenshot provided please. This happens when I tell QuestPointer to automatically create a TomTom waypoint.

EDIT: I forgot to say that the TomTom spam just keeps going and going, it doesn't stop. At first I thought it was just updating as I moved about but even just standing still it just spams away.
