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

This+tomtom may be the most useful addons ever made. :)

One suggestion: If would be nice if you could set the alpha on the minimap icons easily, or adjust their size, or preferably both.

Just to clarify: It would be nice if you could adjust their size *without* also making the arrows smaller. The only size slider now affects both the icons and the arrows on the edge of the map, and a good setting for the arrows makes the icons obstruct way too much, whereas a good setting for the icons (ideally, about the size of default tracking dots) makes the arrows annoyingly small. Either being able to adjust the size of the dots without also downsizing the arrows, or being able to make the dots transparent so they don't obstruct the minimap so much would be *greatly* appreciated. :) Thanks.

Here is a simple patch to fix the POI numbering, so QuestPointer uses the same number as the world map and the quest tracker; even when showing only tracked quests: http://paste.wowace.com/1725

Also, pretty unrelated but I would like an option to ignore completed quests.

I second what Tatertott said this is a great addon to keep a tomtomish thing going but with hardly the mem requirements. Keep it up :D

This is a VERY nice addition for anyone that is looking to get away from the heavy memory questing addons like Carbonite or QuestHelper. Pair this up with Tekkub's Quecho and you have a great combination. Thanks for the addon!

I tried this last night, awesome addon btw.
I however encountered an error when I went into Blood Furnace instance. It kept spamming me with errors every few seconds.
I unfortunately did not capture them, I will try to do so next time and post back here.
Is it possible to make this addon disable itself when going into an instance or how about a simple toggle feature when either clicking on the broker icon or even a text based on/off toggle.

I haven't been into an instance for which I have a quest since I wrote this, which I would expect is the condition that triggers your error. If you can get me the exact error, that'd be helpful... if not, I can probably go find a quest somewhere.

I was just thinking about something like this earlier today. How nice it would be to get those up quest tracker icons up on the mini-map as well.

Actually, in your TODO, if you changed the icons to arrows you'd lose the info. I kind of like seeing the numbers on the icon there on the side. Maybe fade them, or something, but leave the #s.

Anyway, cool. Thanks.
