Changelog

1.0.0-beta.1 (first public beta)

First public release. Please report anything that sounds or looks wrong.

Voiceover

• Voiced quest text for levels 1 to 30 on both factions: accept, progress and turn-in.
• Each NPC keeps the same voice, chosen from their race, sex and role.
• NPC greetings, with an adjustable cooldown (default 10 minutes).
• Books, plaques and letters in the world are read aloud (player-written mail never is).
• NPC world speech: says and yells.
• Your character's reactions on quest turn-in.
• Talking head frame with a 3D model, subtitles and a progress bar. It can be dragged.
• Listen/Stop buttons on the quest window and the quest log.
• Voice keeps playing while the game is in the background (optional).
• The game's own short NPC greeting and farewell clips are muted, so they don't talk over the voices (optional).
• Optional stand-in voice (your game's built-in text-to-speech) for lines that aren't voiced yet.

Journal

• The story is told as zone chapters with summaries, progress bars and search.
• Characters tab with bios and "given by" links.
• Recap after turn-in, plus a whole zone's story as an audiobook.
• "Previously in <zone>" reminder and dungeon introductions.
• World map pins for the chapters you've started.
• Optional quest markers on the map (off by default): "!" at quest givers with quests for you, "?" where to hand in finished quests. They switch off while Questie runs.
• "New in WoW: Forever" marker.
• Minimap button.

Community

• Party sync: new quest recordings are shared with group members who run Chronicle. The data is only read and never run as code.
• /lore share exports your recordings of new content so the next update can voice them.
• /lore report <note> flags a mispronounced name or a wrong line.
• /lore share also includes your /lore report notes. /chronicle works as well as /lore.
• A short welcome the first time you log in. Chronicle also tells you once if a zone's voice pack is missing or turned off.
