QuestGuru is a Quest Log Enhancer.

Note: If you like this addon, please "Like it" on Curse.com.
All Donations support me and I thank you in advance for it.

Features include:

Enhanced 2 page quest display in the log
Patch 6.0 broke QuestGuru, so this is a completely different monster
Conforms to the WOD map quest log (Tooltips for quests and icons showing quest status)
Added full time quest level in front of quest name and tooltips.

For those who are missing the Quest Tracker of QuestGuru, try Kaliel's Tracker

I have been using it for a long while and is not half bad :)

TO-DO's:

Will try and revamp the quest tracker as I love it also. But wanted to get the Log out ASAP.
Try to bring back the other features of the old QuestGuru (Sounds, announcements, etc.)
Need to make a in-game config window, still a work in progress.

F A Q

==============

Q. How do I post a Bug Report?

A1 - Click on QuestGuru Go to the AddOn and on the right side there is a selection called "Bugs" click on that. You will need to be signed in to WoW Interface to create a bug report.
A2 - Or file a ticket on QuestGuru@CurseForge
Note:
Please include the version of QuestGuru you are using and copy/paste the error message you receive.
Please describe what you were doing when the error happened. This will help tremendously.

Q. How do I turn on auto-tracking of quests?

A - Look in the options for the game itself, not QuestGuru. Under Objectives there are options to set when to track quests.
QuestGuru does not duplicate these settings in its own options as it could become problematic and it is not necessary to duplicate options already available.

Q. Where can I find a version compatible with WoW patch x?

A. QuestGuru is supported for the current Expansion and Patch level running on the live servers. PTR versions may be supported as Alpha or Beta releases, but I offer no guarantee.

NEW

SOUND OPTIONS:
Default sound set is now the old QuestGuru set (as requested by many)
/qgs set <soundsetname>
Sets the sound set and plays its quest completion sound
/qgs set
Lists the known sound set names
/qgs test <quest or objective or part>
Plays the current 'quest', 'objective' or 'part' completion sound
/qgs message <objectives or completion or none>
Sets verbosity of messages in the chat log to 'objectives', 'completion' or 'none'

Download the newest file "QuestGuru 2.5.13" (via the download button or update via the Twitch app).

Not sure how it fubarred to lose the quest levels but is now restored.

Cheers!

Sorry about the triple updates today guys. Under the weather and wasn't paying attention enough. Version 2.5.12 is working correctly now. Versions 2.5.10 & 2.5.11 had bugs that slipped by me.

Hope you are enjoying BfA as much as I am.

Cheers!

I was having errors toggling the Track/Untrack button in the ToggleWatch function, seems the code was referencing the old name QuestGuru.Track. I renamed the reference to cql.track

Also the Track/Untrack button text wasn't showing the correct initial value when selecting a quest if the ui was reloaded. I added a condition to set the button text when the quest is selected.

QuestGuru.lua - the changed ListEntryOnClick and ToggleWatch functions.

--[[ list entry handling ]]

function cql:ListEntryOnClick()
	local index = self.index
	if self.isHeader then
		QuestGuruCollapsedHeaders[self.questTitle] = not QuestGuruCollapsedHeaders[self.questTitle] or nil
	else
		if IsModifiedClick("CHATLINK") and ChatEdit_GetActiveWindow() then
			local link = GetQuestLink(self.questID)
			if link then
				ChatEdit_InsertLink(link)
			end
		elseif IsModifiedClick("QUESTWATCHTOGGLE") then
			cql:ToggleWatch(index)
		else
			cql:SelectQuestIndex(index)
			if IsQuestWatched(index) then
				cql.track:SetText("Untrack")
			else
				cql.track:SetText("Track")
			end
		end
	end
	cql:UpdateLogList()
end

function cql:ToggleWatch(index)
	if not index then
		index = GetQuestLogSelection()
	end
	if index>0 then
		if IsQuestWatched(index) then -- already watched, remove from watch
			RemoveQuestWatch(index)
			cql.track:SetText("Track")
		else -- not watched, see if there's room to add, add if so
			if GetNumQuestWatches() >= MAX_WATCHABLE_QUESTS then
				UIErrorsFrame:AddMessage(format(QUEST_WATCH_TOO_MANY,MAX_WATCHABLE_QUESTS),1,0.1,0.1,1)
			else
				AddQuestWatch(index)
				cql.track:SetText("Untrack")
			end
		end
	end
end

I know and am currently working on it.

Just a note -- files in the recent updates have been showing up for me with bizarre "date modified" values, with the year being anywhere from 2018 to 2094. Not sure if this affects anything on the user end, but you might want to look into it.

Not sure where you are seeing this. In looking at the files/dates on my comp:

QuestGuru folder*** 7/28/18

Bindings.xml 7/28/18

QuestGuru Revisions 7/29/18

QuestGuru.lua 7/29/18

QuestGuru.toc 7/29/18

QuestGuru.xml 7/29/18

QuestGuruSounds folder*** 5/08/17

QGS_Options.lua 8/16/16

QuestGuruSounds.lua 9/15/17

QuestGuruSounds.toc 7/29/18

So I am not sure where you are seeing the "bizarre "date modified" values". I checked my Twitch app to check it's date for QuestGuru and all was normal. All I can say is it might be something with your comp. I do run a Mac with macOS 10.13.4 (17E202) and do not have any problems with my Date/Time. Hope you figure it out.

Cheers!

***(The word "folder" was added to designate it being a folder but the word itself is not part of the folder's name)

This is what I'm seeing in my most recent download of QG:

Not sure exactly which version this is, but I haven't seen the 1969 values before. At any rate, this isn't happening with anything else that I've found.

Not sure why you are getting these modified dates but I suspect it's your system doing it. I use BBedit for my Lua editting and have never seen that sort of behaviour before. I opened and resaved all the files today, then took a screenshot of then (below).

Cheers!

It's a mystery. The only other files on my system that exhibit these traits are a bunch of things from my dad's old notebook and an ancient Quark Xpress install. In my experience, these weird dates will happen when files are modified on a computer with a dead or dying PRAM battery, but if they're not showing up as wrong on your end I have no idea what the cause might be.

In reply to Bimmi:

I FINALLY found the culprit! I use StuffIt Deluxe Mac 16's StuffIt Archive Manager for my compression since it doesn't include things that the Curse network doesn't like. I happened to forget adding to my revisions text today after I had already zipped the files, so I updated the file and opened it with the StuffIt Archive Manager and BAM! I saw the modification dates were all screwy (picture below in the Spoiler). I am not sure why that app does that but won't be using it in the future. At least that is one niggle that has been solved.

Cheers!

I seem to recall having issues like that with the later versions of Stuffit. Sorry to have been a pain about it, but I'm glad the mystery is solved.

Hi Lazare,

I love your mod, thanks for keeping it updated. Ever since the update for BfA, I've not been able to move the QuestGuru window. I can't find any options that lock/unlock it. Am I missing it somewhere?

Just uploaded a revised QuestGuru, version 2.5.07. Hope this fixes the issues caused by the last one. It works fine in my WoW.

Sorry this took longer, but being on disability income forces me to do other things (other than WoW) to pay the bills.

Cheers!
