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.

Are there no settings for the new ImmersionToast window besides enable/disable?
I would like to at least speed up its progression without having to click on a button to turn the page. Preferably, I'd be able to control its paging with keybinds and It's not like I will be reading that and the quest dialogue in the standard immersion frame simultaneously so the same keybind could page/accept/continue the standard frame during NPC interaction and then take over for the Toast window once I've left the NPC - with of course the clickable button functioning on the Toast window regardless of conditions.

I also don't fully understand what the Toast window is displaying. Does it queue up all your NPC interactions and slowly page through them in order, no matter what else you're doing?

In reply to IBPwNin:

Text speed is the same as whatever your settings are for the regular frame. Default is rather slow if you're a fast reader. If you increase the speed, you'll likely find it more appealing without any additional controls over it.

It displays whatever you didn't let play out. It's not particularly smart in figuring out whether you actually read the text at the time of interaction, so it just uses line skip as trigger to queue it up in the toast. It does this in order. It also won't trigger the same text twice during playback.

Oh I see, the Text Speed slider settings is some arbitrary unit of speed as opposed to a unit of time; so if I want to speed it up, I should increase not decrease. Based on the tooltip I presumed it was a measurement in seconds.

I also have enabled the Disable automatic text progress feature right next to it so I assumed the slider was disabled. I prefer the hotkey method for paging. Some pages are short and concise, some I desire to read twice at my own pace.

It would be awesome if we could see the name of the quest giver NPC somewhere.

e.g. in the picture above with the night elf instead of only showing "Tears for Fears" it could show "Lyanis Moonfall - Tears for Fears" or the name could be under the portrait or something.

Awesome work, couldn't play the game without it :)

Noticed one small bug: When the Hide-Interface-Option is activated, the background of the default-raidframes still shows somehow!?

Raid frames have this property for some reason. Their background texture is set to ignore any changes to alpha on the unit frame.

Thank you so much for Immersion. I can't imagine playing without this addon anymore. It makes questing exciting again. I especially like the ImmersionToast frame. It's so nice to have the gossip and flavor text available to read when I want it, but without having to click through it to get to the bank or a vendor.

If it's possible, would you please consider adding the option to hide Player and NPC Names along with the UI?

Can you put an option in for font size? I have a vision impairment that makes it difficult to read small text.

Hi,

first off: awesome addon.

I'd like to report an issue with the v0.7.0: when using the new toast system sometimes npcs do not open their trading\interaction window. For example, I have to click numerous times the NPC in ebon hold (dk class hall) that lets you hire more ghouls\ebon soldiers for the actual windows to appear. The toast works just fine tho.

Keep it up!

Are you sure they're related? Couldn't it be lag? The toast just stores and plays text, it doesn't have any control over interaction with NPCs.

Hi,
first amazing addon fun to use. I'm just testing it right now.
But I figured out that it only shows a "gold" symbol for the Item which gives you the most gold.
But if you use the addon:
"Pawn" it normally shows you a green arrow UP if this item increase your dmg.

So for example:
Green Arrow UP 300%
Green Arrow UP 122%

And it shows the Gold-Symbol if it's the item which gives you the most gold.
When I use your Addon (Immersion) this green arrow disapears.

Maybe you can add this into your addon too (if pawn or something like that is active) or just give pawn the control over it.

I don't need it, since IF you hover the quest item, you still get the Arrow-Up-% value.
But not on the first look. You always need to hover it.
Since I don't use pawn really, but I know a LOT of people who using it (atleast for leveling gear, later simulate your gear).

This should totally be added to your addon.

In reply to homezonebenny:

Pawn is hardcoded towards the default UI. It's also extremely complicated because of how the process of weighing one piece of gear against another works if you're not just looking at item level. To show which one yields the most gold, it's a simple comparison between the items as they're added to the UI.

In my opinion, it falls on Pawn to add support for Immersion and not the other way around, because from what I could tell when I looked through the source code a while back, it's really not written as an API that you can access and use externally. It should be relatively simple to fix, because Immersion is almost identical to the default UI in terms of displaying rewards.

Is it a known issue that the "NPC Interaction" situation doesn't get triggered when Immersion is active/loaded?

Might have to do with the Event triggers?

In reply to MunkDev:

DynamicCam "NPC Interactions" event doesn't work in combination with Immersion, since you override one or more of the following events:

{"PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED", "GOSSIP_SHOW", "GOSSIP_CLOSED", "QUEST_COMPLETE", "QUEST_DETAIL", "QUEST_FINISHED", "QUEST_GREETING", "BANKFRAME_OPENED", "BANKFRAME_CLOSED", "MERCHANT_SHOW", "MERCHANT_CLOSED", "TRAINER_SHOW", "TRAINER_CLOSED", "SHIPMENT_CRAFTER_OPENED", "SHIPMENT_CRAFTER_CLOSED"};

In reply to jeroen84:

You can't "override" a game client event. Looking at the code, it doesn't seem to use Gossip/Quest API to determine if you're talking to an NPC, rather it triggers from frame state.

newSituation.executeOnInit = "this.frames = {\"GarrisonCapacitiveDisplayFrame\", \"BankFrame\", \"MerchantFrame\", \"GossipFrame\", \"ClassTrainerFrame\", \"QuestFrame\",}";

newSituation.condition = [[local shown = false; for k,v in pairs(this.frames) do if (_G[v] and _G[v]:IsShown()) then shown = true; end end return UnitExists("npc") and UnitIsUnit("npc", "target") and shown;]];

It should suffice to just add "ImmersionFrame" to the this.frames list, if you can edit this stuff in-game. The solution on DynamicCam's end is a bit hacky, because it assumes you're using the default UI. Had this been covered with API instead, it would work with any quest/gossip replacement.

Adding "ImmersionFrame" worked like a charm! Thanks!

I am using dynamicCam's "Target Lock/Focus" and Zoom when talking to NPCs. That combined with immersion makes it doubly immersive. :-)
