Hello MonkeyQuest User!
The MonkeyQuest AddOn for World of WarCraft displays quests and their objectives in a nice drag able frame in a very customizable way.Features:
- Mousing over quests shows the overview in a tooltip.
- Option to display the quest overview if there's no objectives.
- Clicking on quests brings up the real quest log with that quest selected.
- Displays the quest level in the quest title.
- Elite quests display a ' ' in the level of the quest.
- Completed quests show a '(Completed)' in the quest title.
- Quest area headers are displayed.
- Clicking on a quest area header collapses or expands it.
- Check boxes next to quests allow hiding/showing of that quest.
- Check box to toggle displaying collapsed quest area headers and hidden quests.
- Close and minimize buttons.
- Quest objective coloring.
- Quest objective coloring for special 'friendly/hostile' type objectives.
- Special quest objective coloring for 'find an area' type objectives.
- Nice font for increased readability.
- No additional buttons or options are displayed in the real quest log.
- Option to always hide quest area headers.
- New slash command for hiding the border.
- Key bindings for toggle hidden, minimize, and close.
- Slash command to change the expand direction, up or down (thanks Diungo)
- Shift-left clicking on quests to add the quest name to the chat edit box if it's open.
- Shift-right clicking on quests to add your current quest objective data to the chat edit box if it's open.
- Option to display the number of free quest slots.
- Lockable frame.
- Option to display quest titles colored by difficulty. (thanks Pkp)
- Option to hide completed quests.
- Option to hide completed objectives.
- Ctrl-Left clicking on quests to share that quest with party members.
- Ctrl-Right clicking on quests to abandon that quest, after a confirmation dialog box.
- Integration with MonkeyBuddy for configuration.
- Font size setting.
- Option to turn off right-click to open MonkeyBuddy.
- Option to hide the title buttons.
- Quest Items now show up in tooltips. Mousing over targets you need for quests will show 'Quest Item XX/YY' in the tooltip. Same for items you need for quests. (** Currently doesn't update if MonkeyQuest is closed or minimized **)
- Dungeon quests display a 'd' in the level of the quest.
- Raid quests display an 'r' in the level of the quest.
- Party members show up in the quest overview tooltip. If they have that quest they'll be displayed in the 100% objective color.
- If the current sub-zone name appears in the quest overview, the quest will highlight.
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.
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
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)
Message: Interface\AddOns\MonkeyQuest\MonkeyQuest.lua:402: attempt to call method 'SetBackdropColor' (a nil value)
Message: Interface\AddOns\MonkeyQuest\MonkeyQuest.lua:489: attempt to call global 'GetQuestLogSelection' (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.
In reply to JimBim89:
I don't know if it will help, but I've found that in almost all cases of errors with SetBackdrop or similar, the problem is actually with the CreateFrame line(s). Fix is usually to add one more new required parameter, like so:
-- local qb = CreateFrame("Frame",modName,UIParent); local qb = CreateFrame("Frame",modName,UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");Just adding in that last parameter wherever there is a CreateFrame has fixed a lot of broken unmaintained addons well enough for me to use.
From the Blizz forums
One of the major changes in 9.0 is a change to SetBackdrop. The TL/DR, on live, 100% of frames support backdrops, whether they are used or not. 1000s of frames between every addon and default UI, even frames that never see such as event frames have backdrops. UI team realized this is a serious performance issue. so effective in 9.0, no frames have backdrops unless the addon imports/inherits the backdrop template.
this means addons that aren’t importing them now throw nil errors with method “Setbackdrop”. This issue affects a large number of addons.
In reply to JimBim89:
A lot of the quest log calls like GetQuestLogSelection will become something like C_QuestLog.GetSelectedQuest.
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Category:API_namespaces/C_QuestLog
It shows very old quests that are actually not on my main quest log from the real quest UI.
And when i click them..the quest dialog shows up but clicking abandon doesnt work as im actually really not on that quest.
I have deleted ALL monkey directories in both addons and saved variable folders...i have done searches for Monkey* files in explorer and deleted everything. Then install it fresh and the same old quests are still there as if its keeping the info or settings in some other location...???
In reply to Guardianajm:
Sadly these are all reported via the api and are not cached in local files. I will look into ways to make them less annoying.
Would love to be able to tell it to ignore the Emissary quests - particularly from past expansions.
