Smart Quest
Supported Versions: Retail, Classic
Smart Quest gives you the ability to monitor your party members' quest progress and objectives in real time. It will also provide you with a series of distinctive sound alerts when various questing events occur (see below).
Note: Smart Quest will only be able to monitor the objectives of other players if they're running the mod as well.

Dev Notes
This was a mod I shared with my friends to help each other with questing and leveling. I'm now sharing with the general public in hopes of developing the mod further. If you have any feature suggestions, please let me know!
Fabulous addon, but I've stopped using it because it freezes the game if I logout shortly after logging in. I've done the troubleshooting, and this is for sure the mod that is causing this problem. I love the addon, but it's not worth the trouble whenever I have to switch to another character for just a quick second. I know I will have to end task and restart the game every time. This is on WoW classic btw.
In reply to Rixonomic:
Thanks for the report! I'll investigate and see what might be causing issues with freezing the game. Is it a permanent freeze or a just a lengthy one?
In reply to Rixonomic:
I tried to reproduce it but haven't been having any luck. I'm assuming since you're logging in and out quickly, you're not in a group or anything.
For some reason your addon is showing in the list of addons for Classic. Does this mean, the live version works for Classic too or have Twitch just screwed up? If it is the latter, are you planning on a Classic version because it would be very handy to have?
In reply to hotluck2152:
Yes, it works with Classic, but there's an issue with Classic saying the addon is out-of-date requiring you to check "Load Out-of-Date" addons to get it to work. I hope to have that fixed this week!
In reply to Zensunim:
Thank you. Your addon is helping me so much :)
i found your addon when i was looking for some way to help lower guildmates in the classic beta. at that time it worked great, i was notified when a quest was picked up, quest object looted, quest completed - as the description above states.
i installed in for retail to help a relative level up and see absolutely nothing in chat. she also has it installed and active. i have changed the chat channel multiple times to see if perhaps that were the problem but still nothing.
any suggestions?
thanks - amey0
In reply to amey0:
Is "Quest Monitoring" checked? If not, it won't work. The other issue is that your friend may have only installed it for Classic Beta but not Retail. I'll add something to let you see if anyone in the party is using the addon with you.
In reply to Zensunim:
quest monitoring is checked and the test shows text in chat. i'll check with her and make sure she didn't installed the wrong addon.
thanks for the reply ;)

If I'm in a dungeon with a group, but I'm not in a party, Smart Quest repeatedly tells me in chat "You aren't in a party" when I work towards an objective. [This happens in my main/"general" chat window, and not the window I've selected for the addon to use.]
It's super spammy and awful.
I'm sure the workaround is to unselect the "Quest Monitoring" option in the settings, but shouldn't the addon only attempt to do anything if I'm in a party?
Can this be fixed, please?
Edit/Update: Deselecting the "quest monitoring" option doesn't fix the issue. Only disabling the addon does.

In reply to Zensunim:
Are there any trackers that will work with this so that we see the party member under the quest and how many of the objective they have?

In reply to Zensunim:
This is something i would also like to see. Old Quest Helper addon did this by showing on item/creature tooltips how many your party members needed those.
Great addon. Thank you!
I saw that you're planning on taking away the Test button... I'd much rather it stay there. It helps me determine what color I'm going to make the font. It's been really helpful.
Also, it would be nice if there was an option for it to only make a noise when your party member fully completed a quest/all objectives. A sound at every single thing is like, whoa.
Otherwise, after using this addon for a few hours, I think I prefer it over other addons that do similar things. Good work!

The "quest failed" for both My Quests and Party's Quests are a little loud & obnoxious (no offense!), but I love that I can turn off the Item Collected. Marvelous. Thanks!
