ForeverDiff Collector

Opt-in collector that records quest text, creature and object locations, vendor stock and loot, so ForeverDiff can document World of Warcraft: Forever.

ForeverDiff Collector records what your World of Warcraft client already shows you — quest text, the creature or object that gives and ends a quest, where creatures and objects stand, what vendors sell, what dropped and how often, and where you walked into a dungeon — so that ForeverDiff can describe a world no database covers.

Why it exists

The game client's data files carry ids and numbers. They do not carry quest text, spawn positions or loot tables, and on the Classic Era line those come from pfQuest (MIT). World of Warcraft: Forever has no such database, so the only source of Forever-specific facts is the people playing it.

How to use it

  1. Unzip into your client's Interface/AddOns so you have Interface/AddOns/ForeverDiffCollector.
  2. Run /reload, then /fdc. Treat the command's response as the load check.
  3. Play. Read quests, talk to vendors, loot things. /fdc reports what this session collected.
  4. /reload or log out again — this is what writes SavedVariables to disk.
  5. Upload WTF/Account/<ACCOUNT>/SavedVariables/ForeverDiffCollector.lua at the contribution page.

Privacy

The addon never sends anything anywhere. It writes a file on your own disk, and uploading it is a separate, deliberate act you perform yourself. That is what opt-in means here.

Commands

  • /fdc — what has been collected this session
  • /fdc reset — clear what has been collected
