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!
For Quickfix change line 73 in SmartQuest.lua to:
if (select(4, GetBuildInfo()) < 20600) then
Any chance this will be updated for TBC? Questing in a group just isn't the same without it. It's been an awesome addition to group questing in Classic.
In reply to Doraxen:
Yes, it has been updated today!
In reply to Zensunim:
Thank you so much!
Is it just me of the chat log don't work. Like when I pick up the quest, or progressions to that quest I don't get any logs.
In reply to JesseClown:
That chat log displays when your partner/friends pick up quests and complete progress. It doesn't show your own progress.
Will this be getting a 9.0 update?
In reply to sephirithane:
It should be working for 9.0 now, but it's classified as "Out of Date" at the moment. It will definitely get a 9.0 update very soon (as in tonight or tomorrow morning) when I'm able to officially validate it's fully working with groups!
In reply to Zensunim:
Good to know, you rock!
In reply to sephirithane:
Thanks! I did some work today and found that it looks like a few integrations are broken because they made some changes to the quest log system beyond the work I did during Shadowlands Beta. It might take a little longer to fix, but fortunately I have the weekend available to do it!
In reply to Zensunim:
Thanks for the quick update!
I have started having a problem in Classic where we are doing quests and it will keep displaying info in chat for quests that we have already completed, not the one we are on.
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.
