This addon restores the old quest log with the familiar list of quests on the left and details on the right.

This addon's initial behavior is to commandeer your quest log key binding and micro button to toggle the new log. It should be a familiar enough experience once you log in.

If you decide you want to keep using the new default log alongside this addon, you can:

Open the map via key binding (M is default key) will display the new map+quest log hybrid.
Click 'Show Map' in the upper right of the Classic Quest Log, it will jump to the map of the quest's zone with the attached new style quest log.
If that's not enough and you only want to use the Classic Quest Log occasionally, go into Key Bindings -> AddOns -> Classic Quest Log and set a binding to toggle this addon's window. Once a binding is set, it will revert the behavior of the default quest log binding and quest micro button to its map+quest default behavior.

There are a few minor changes from the true old quest log:

Instead of saying (Completed) or (Daily) beside each quest name, they are now represented by icons just like the new log.
There are other options in the Options button at the bottom of the window, such as the ability to move the window around the screen or to resize the height of the window.

With the way they messed stuff up in Legion and especially in BFA, I am sure glad to have this addon. Thank you! Although yeah, just seeing some comments below. World quests and other stuff does not show up in this log. Will have to see what it looks like off but turn it back on.

The war campaign quests does not have a title header. It's just a lonesome quest all out on its own.

Yeah it's been bugging me. As time permits I'll poke at the campaign API a bit. It's a lot to digest at the moment.

It's a minor issue as far as being visually pleasing. Other than that great add-on you've made here. I can't do without, I suppose I'm old school and having my classic quest log stripped away was like pulling my heart strings haha.

Thank you for a fantastic add-on.

i was just coming here to report the same thing :p, it is indeed weird to see a bunch of quests just by themselves ^^, nice to hear it will be looked after in time :),

another thing i was just wondering is that Blizzard changed how some quest are counted towards the "Limit", like 'Account Quests' and such, does CQL take these changes into account ?

Since the patch, no matter what quest I click on in the log, it immediately selects the bottom quest in the list again. Makes it impossible to read quest text.

n reply to garylisk:

If you temporarily disable other quest-related addons, does that behavior persist?

Some addons like ConsLegion (though it may have changed) will forcibly select quests as it gathers information from them. They're doing this:

local numObjectives = GetNumQuestLeaderBoards(SelectQuestLogEntry(i))

When they should do this:

local numObjectives = GetNumQuestLeaderBoards(i)

The default map+quest hybrid doesn't use SelectQuestLogEntry() so this effect isn't noticed until you use an addon that does use it, like Classic Quest Log which mimics the older quest log as closely as possible.

That appears to be the case. Is there a work-around? I preferred to leave ConsLegion/AzerothAutoPilot on for my alts to level them more easily.

If you're okay editing files, open ConsLegion/QuestHandler.lua and CTRL+F/search for SelectQuestLogEntry, change this line:

local numObjectives = GetNumQuestLeaderBoards(SelectQuestLogEntry(i))

to this:

local numObjectives = GetNumQuestLeaderBoards(i)

and about 20 lines further down change this line:

local text, type, finished = GetQuestLogLeaderBoard(h, SelectQuestLogEntry(i))

to this:

local text, type, finished = GetQuestLogLeaderBoard(h, i)

And that may do it.

I'm still having trouble being unable to abandon a quest. I click the abandon button, but then there is only the sound of a dialog box rapidly opening and closing.

I'm looking into this but so far coming up blank to what could cause it to do that without another addon auto-declining the popup.

I know this is a pain, but can you confirm you're on the latest version (1.3.4) and try with other addons disabled and see if it starts behaving again?

There is not a /cql command but you can do:

/run ClassicQuestLog:ToggleWindow()

Is it repeatable?

If not, do you recall or can you watch for what transition is happening when this error happens? I assume nothing that this addon would attempt to hide is protected, but maybe something is now protected that wasn't.

When you say nothing happens, do you mean L is opening the default map as if the addon wasn't working; or that L does nothing at all as if you hit no key at all?

If hitting L summons a map as if the addon wasn't enabled, check to make sure there is no binding in Addons -> Classic Quest Log. When there's a binding there, the addon will ignore the default quest stuff and only summon on that specific binding.

If hitting L does nothing at all, as if no key was hit, check to make sure Interface Panel -> Toggle Quest Log is bound to L. If it is, turn on errors to make sure an error isn't stopping the addon: in game enter /console scriptErrors 1. You can turn it off later by changing the 1 to a 0.
