Immersion is a replacement for the dated quest & gossip frames. Hugely inspired by the talking head frame, Immersion is a no-nonsense solution to the wall of quest text you never read, without hindering your progress. Skip ahead, accept quests and select dialogue options with the press of a single button or simply click anywhere on the frame to pick up the next quest. All your hotkeys are customizable and you can even use number keys to press specific gossip/quest options.

Even though you can navigate the interface much faster than the regular quest & gossip frames, Immersion will get you to actually read and understand what's happening on your questing adventure, without any cumbersome stops along the way. Unlike other replacements for quest & gossip, Immersion doesn't take the long route and force you through menus and text. The full immersive experience is there for you when you want it, but doesn't get in your way when you're in a hurry.

If you like my work and would like to see more of it, please consider donating. Thank you.

I attempted to debug a couple lines of code in Immersion to fix lua errors and I believe that "name" is no longer returned by GetRewardSpell in 8.0. I pruned the name return variable from 2 lines of code and Immersion is no longer throwing errors on the beta. I also had to delete all the non-english localizations. The chinese locale file wasn't loading.

I'll keep this in mind when I release the 8.0 version, but there are no plans for any early compatibility fixes. You could probably use XML comments in Locale.xml to circumvent the second issue.

The major side effect of name being removed as a returned variable from GetRewardSpell() is that when you get a new follower as a reward, their name doesn't show up on the label, but it does show up on the tooltip. Sometimes I don't understand why Blizzard does the things it does ;(

I did a print() of GetRewardSpell() and name is actually still there, but there is an additional boolean return value added between garrFollowerID and spellID. I have no idea what it is. Please forgive my noobish debugging attempt from my previous comments.

There is time but 8.0+ don't like attempts to load nonexistent files. And Locale.xml trying to load missing translations.

Any idea why I can’t see Quest Objectives, Rewards, or any of the dialog options? I only see the Portrait, title and opening copy. It’s a fresh install with no other addons.

One thing that bugs me is this, but other than that, the addon works great.

I've never even seen this particular frame in a quest before. Should be fixed next patch, thanks for the report.

This is an absolutely fantastic addon; it oozes quality. I have one minor issue though: I like the 'on the fly' option ('always' = off), but I also often read and click through the quest text manually (auto mode off). This combination of settings apparently leads to always showing the toast window, even though I often have already read everything. It's a bit spammy this way. Is there any workaround for this? Thanks for the great work anyway!

Let me know how I should build a solution that can interpret when you're reading text and when you're skipping it and I'll do it. It's kind of hard to tell, right?

'If has quest accepted at text fragment 5/5 (or whatever max is for a particular quest)' then one could assume the user has read everything (why else skip through all text if you're not reading it?). This of course all depends on whether there is any decent way to tell whether the user is at 5/5 or whatever max is when accepting.

Sure, that's built in. But right now, accepting a quest rapidly often means the user will spam spacebar to get through the dialogue. There are also cases where you read some of it, but not all. I can't really think of a solid way to cover all behaviour so that you never feel like the toast betrayed you by not showing the text.

The only decent solution I can think of is to make an assumption about whether you read the text or not depending on how long you waited to skip to the next line. If you were really quick, say less than 25% of the playback time, it would assume you just skipped the line. If you were reasonably quick, say around 50% of the playback time, it could make the assumption that you read it and wanted to skip ahead.

That still would feel too artificial I guess. Perhaps the only way to deal with this is to make an option for it, but that would probably be too niche to actually do. Oh well, it's just icing on the icing as for as I'm concerned :).

It's definitely a problem I want to solve, just not quite sure how to go about it since it has to cover a variety of use cases.

In reply to MunkDev:

I always feel the ultimate solution to determining what the player intends is by using (optional) specified keybinds.
I'd be fully satisfied with 2 keybinds: the primary one would progress through the dialogue while disabling the toast window for when this conversation ends, and the other binding would progress and enable the toast window. That way I can avoid repetitive or transactional NPC dialogue bloating my toast window.
Of course It would be nice if it could be automated but that's exponentially more difficult to perfect and I only become frustrated when my intentions are incorrectly assumed.

Additionally, I'd use keybinds to page through the toast window instead of letting it auto-scroll as well. I prefer that level of control though I get the impression I'm in the minority there!

Is there a way of moving the dialog screen? I've tried moving it with 'MoveAnything', but it just responds with 'Element not found' when hovering over the dialog screen with my mouse.
I also tried hooking it onto the headframe. Head frame I am able to move, but the Immersion dialog box and text options stay locked on my screen.

I've customized my UI and I just want to move it up on my screen instead of it hanging over my action bars.

Does someone else know how this can be done?

Unlock, drag and drop (seriously, how is this so hard?).
