Blocky Quests

BlockyQuests

A modern, fully-featured Quest Tracker replacement for TBC Classic (Interface 20504)

BlockyQuests overhauls every part of the default WoW quest experience — the tracker, the quest log, the timer, and chat sharing — with a clean, dark aesthetic, per-character settings, and quality-of-life features the default UI simply doesn't offer.

✦ Features

🗺️ Quest Tracker

• Fully movable and draggable tracker frame, clamped to screen
• Dark, stylized backdrop with an amber gold border and title band — looks great at any resolution
• Adjustable background opacity (0–100%) so the tracker never blocks your view
• Quests are grouped by zone for instant orientation
• Quest difficulty coloring on titles — red, orange, yellow, green, or grey based on your level vs. the quest level
• Ctrl+Scroll on the tracker to scale it up or down on the fly
• Mouse scroll wheel to scroll through long quest lists
• Supports tracking up to 25 quests simultaneously (bypasses Blizzard's default 5-quest cap)

📋 Modern Quest Log

• A polished two-panel replacement for Blizzard's default QuestLogFrame
• Left panel: Scrollable quest list grouped by zone, with level badges and watch checkmarks
• Right panel: Full quest title, objectives, description, and reward display for the selected quest
• Fully resizable and movable, with saved position and scale per character
• Opened via the same minimap button as the default log — no new keybinds required

⏱️ Quest Timer

• A stylish animated neon-border timer frame replacing Blizzard's plain QuestTimerFrame
• Left-drag to reposition, Ctrl+Scroll to resize, Right-click to lock/unlock position
• Timer position and scale are saved per character

🔗 Quest Link Sharing

• Click the (+) button next to any tracked quest to open a share menu (say, party, guild, channel, etc.)
• Shift+click the (+) button to instantly insert a quest hyperlink into your active chat box
• In numbered chat channels (General, Trade, LFG), where Blizzard strips quest links server-side, BlockyQuests sends a readable plain-text sentinel ([Quest Title] <<BQ:LEVEL:TITLE>>) that other BlockyQuests users see as a clickable hyperlink, while everyone else still sees the quest name clearly
• Hovering a quest link opens a tooltip showing quest level and title

🔍 LFG Button

• A compact LFG toggle button embedded in the tracker title bar
• Glows green when the LFG panel is open; dims when closed
• Tooltip explains its function; scales automatically with the tracker

⚙️ Options Panel

• In-game options panel matching the BlockyQuests visual style
• Adjust font sizes for headers, zone names, quest titles, and objectives independently
• Set frame width, height, and tracker opacity
• Configure Quest Log panel size, divider position, and font sizes
• Scale sliders for the tracker, quest log, and options panel itself
• All settings are saved per character

💾 Per-Character Saved Settings

• All layout, font, scale, and position preferences are stored per character per realm — no more sharing settings between alts
• Includes a one-time migration from legacy flat SavedVariables to the per-character structure

📦 Installation

1. Download and extract the BlockyQuests folder
2. Place it in World of Warcraft/_classic_/Interface/AddOns/
3. Restart WoW or reload your UI (/reload)

🖥️ Compatibility

• TBC Classic (Interface version 20504)
• Does not modify any Blizzard secure frames
• Safe to use alongside other quest addons (though tracker conflicts may occur)

💬 Commands

🐛 Known Limitations

• Quest IDs are not exposed by the TBC 2.5.x client API; quest links in numbered channels use a title-based fallback that requires the recipient to have the quest in their log for tooltip display
• The 25-quest watch cap requires BlockyQuests to be loaded; logging out resets Blizzard's native cap to 5 until the addon re-initializes
