Beyond excited to see you updating this again!!!! I have used a few replacements in the years you weren't actively updating, but nothing compares!
Does this addon work with Torghast and Torghast progress? Display of Anima Powers?
Also it doesn't appear to show quest bars on quests that have a fillable bar for progress.
Quest Items aren't shown or clickable.. SorhaQuestLog has this functionality updated and working.
It also appears to block the functionality of the Angry Keystones addon.
Are any of these options are available with this addon?
In reply to mothandras:
Lot of information from the fancy dynamic log are not processed, only the main quest objectives from the questlog.
In Classic MonkeyQuestLog, it seems the tracker hooks are not functional. From the main quest log, you can shift click a quest and get a clickable link to that quest.
In MonkeyQuestLog, it just gives you plain text with no link.
In reply to Badgob:
I don't get clickable links from the main quest log in classic, sure you can get them?
Thank you for updating this addon. Just donated again so please keep up the great work.
Would it be possible to enable an option to hide old "Emissary World Quests" quests in old expansions (Mac'Aree, Stormsong Valley, etc..)?
In reply to omeglidan:
Thanks, yes something to clean up the log will be added.
In reply to JimBim89:
Awesome to hear. I look forward to testing it when you release it.
Hey all, I just released the update which should be fully compatible with Shadowlands!
Took a while because there were many changes necessary and my play and code time is currently very limited because of family and work.
After reworking the API changes I even fixed a few long standing bugs, If you find any new problems let me know!
Also if you would like to help finance my sub / expansion costs, which I mainly use to maintain my addons, feel free to drop a donation!
Even smaller ones do help and are very appreciated! Have fun using my addons in the upcoming expansion!
In reply to JimBim89:
TYTY! So happy to have this back. Any plan for the quest items to work?
In reply to Korrigan_:
Sadly this is an API restriction, or do you know a new workaround?
In reply to JimBim89:
I do not. I've found other addons that add quest items to a separate bar for use, figured it may be similar
In reply to JimBim89:
SorhaQuestLog Addon has a work around for Quest Items.. may look at their code and try to figure it out.. would love to have it back in this addon.
any updates on this? I love this mod!
In reply to ryfx_:
Yes, making progress! Hope to have a testable version out before the expansion hits!
Already worked some hours on fixing the addon but still need some more.
The Backdrop issue was trivial, its the countless Quest related API calls that changed which also need to be updated.
They didn't just change names, but also rearranged and completely changed several calls, so it needs further work.
In reply to JimBim89:
Thanks for putting time into this! I've used Monkey Quest for as long as I can remember, and playing the game without it is... shall we say, unpleasant. The stock quest tracker is awful and there seem to be no other alternatives that do what MQ does. 😓
Is this going to be updated for Shadowlands? It's much better than the default quest UI.
In reply to gorbal:
Yes, couldn't login yesterday and today still work to do. Anything important not functioning?
In reply to JimBim89:
Throwing multiple LUA errors and doesn't display quest list at all.
Message: Interface\AddOns\MonkeyBuddy\MonkeyBuddy.lua:650: attempt to call method 'SetBackdrop' (a nil value)

(5 or 6 different errors tagged to this one).
I can post full logs for each if that helps. Some quick googling found this thread on beta forums (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/addons-now-usable-in-shadowlands-beta/586355/12) regarding LUA changes to SetBackdrop that affect a lot of addons.
