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

Download and extract the BlockyQuests folder
Place it in World of Warcraft/_classic_/Interface/AddOns/
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

Command	Action
`/bq` or `/blockyquests`	Open the Options panel

🐛 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

Built with care for the TBC Classic community. Feedback and bug reports welcome!
