Also how to set that NPCs only show me a quest that I can take, not few levels below? /questie setminlevel 0 ???

/questie minlevel  <-- turn on the filter

Run the above command...

The min level filter is already set to 5 levels. So if you're level 10, you won't see any quests with a Min Level value lower than level 5.

Thanks. I thought that will be automatic thing when you finish the quest. 

It is supposed to be automatic. You've got something going on with your game client. Its not saving data to your Saved Variables file.

Hold down CTRL + SHIFT and Left Click on your tracker then move it some place on your screen. Then log out and login. Tracker should be in exactly the same place, If it's not, something is corrupted.

Make a new character - doesn't matter which kind you can delete it after this test. If Questie works fine then you've got something going on with that one Characters Saved Variables file. You do NOT have to wipe out your entire WTF folder. Just delete any Questie* files from your characters directory and clear out the WDB folder.

I forgot to include a fix in Astrolabe to ignore the fact that while in an instance, coordinates are always returned "0 , 0 ". Right now Questie is removing quests from the tracker because it can't calculate where a Quest Objective is located. This has been fixed in a new Hotfix I just committed.

Version: 3.66

I don't know if it's just me, but basically any quest given by an object in the world (not a drop), that results in you having to give the item from that object to a quest giver, is not shown on the map. When you actually click it and retrieve the item to start the quest, then it's all mapped out, but before then, it's as if the quest isn't in the game.

Here's two examples:
http://db.vanillagaming.org/?quest=510
http://db.vanillagaming.org/?quest=930

When is 4.0 expected to be released? 

There have been some delays because I've been really busy with real life things but I hope to get an beta out within the month. I'm going to be committing the code to github in the next few days in a branch but it won't be very usable until a beta release is made

Please report these as you find them. The fix for these are fairly simple and quick. I can insert the fixes between releases. Linking the quest from db.vanillagaming.org provides enough info to fix these.

EDIT: Fixes were checked in. You'll have to manually install the files until they are incorporated with a release.

Questie doesn't provide tool tips for spells and normal items. Only tool tips related to actual quests that are active in the quest log. There are a number of mods that will through.

When the quest panel first opens or after you select Accept or Complete?

Wondering if anyone can help me, i did a boo boo.

 

I have 3 monitors.  I have wow windowed + maximised in the middle monitor.  When i went to tab out and click something on the right, i diddnt alt+tab and ended up clicking and moving across the screen.  this dragged the quest tracker window out of sight to the right.

 

I deleted questie, and re-installed with the latest version.

I tried nuking questie.  

 

I cant get my tracker back :(  Help!

 

Thanks for helping this idiot. I appreciate it.

Please open a bug on GitHub: https://github.com/AeroScripts/QuestieDev/issues - this will allow me to track this properly. I don't check these forums very often and questions and responses get missed very easily.

/questie cleartracker

This will put your tracker in the center of your screen without blowing away any settings.

Questie v3.68

• Fixed an issue with CorpseArrow. Thank you for the help Muehe! Occationally your CorpseArrow would not show correct distence or direction after dying in an instance and appearing at a grave yard.
• Fixed an issue with CorpseArrow not being hidden correctly in BattleGrounds. I missed a logic check that in some cases would cause the arrow to appear.
• The QuestTracker now has a "Minimize" feature. You can either use the slash command "/questie mintracker" OR you can click on the "QuestLog Status..." header I.E. 'QuestieTracker Header' AKA:the "/questie header" slash toggle to Minimize or Maximize the Tracker. This ONLY works when the optional Questie Tracker Header is enabled.
• While questing on some of my toons I still noticed some stale entries in both QuestieTrackedQuests and QuestieSeenQuests DB's. I spent some time going back thorugh the Quest pick up and finisher functions and made some tweaks that I'm hoping will keep things trimmed and organized.

First of all, thank you for spending your precious time on this awesome addon.

I have a suggestion.

Questie adds icons to the borders of minimaps when quest items are far away and outside of minimap range.This clutters minimap borders especially when you have lots of quest. It's usually not productive to move according to minimap icons so almost everyone open their big map to see where to go next. And they only need to see item icon when they're at close proximity.

Can you please make questie show quest items on your minimap only when those quest items are in your minimap range?

[Dyaxler 9]

Too many people complained about it so we put it back in. However, you can set Questie to only show Objective markers when you're tracking the quest. I'd also suggest running EQL3 if you're not already. It'll give you the ability to automatically track quests, you can track more than 5 and, you'll be able to track things you can't with the default wow client quest log.

The command to turn off Objective markers except for quests you're tracking is:

If I set Questie to show only tracked objectives, I feel I will lose them on big map too. Which is not wanted.

If you had done it in previous versions, can you tell me the code and where to insert it so I can manually change my addon everytime I update it?

I might have an idea that will work for you and others if they choose to do this too. Please open a thread on GitHub: https://github.com/AeroScripts/QuestieDev/issues - so the details can get worked out and that I understand fully what you're asking.

So I'm not sure if this has been addressed already or will be. But I noticed something strange the last few days



The quest log takes up approx that much space regardless of text size so as you can see if I have to too far right, it covers over my bar on the right and I have to move it. for some reason, it likes to keep moving over to the right

Are you saying that the tracker is "crawling" across your screen?

Yes, but also there is a phantom box (outlined in red) where even if I butt up the text but not overlapping the buttons on the right i can no longer click on the button bar.

 

It's rare for the tracker to change locations for me, but I'm more concerned with there being an invisible box to the right of the tracker.

I just upgraded from v 2.0.10.  The arrow and some quests in the immediate area show up but not all quests in a zone.  Also when I move the quests that show up, next time I log back in, it reverts to the original position.  I have tried \questie clearconfig and \questie cleartracker to no avail.  I'd like to just see all my quests like before.  I moved the Questie folder and !Questie Compatibility folders out of Interface\Addons.  I've also moved the Questie.lua from the WTF folder.  Any ideas?  Is there something I need to do in WDB?

Any help appreciated.  Thanks!

Hey Dyaxler,

I've made an issue like you suggested:

https://github.com/AeroScripts/QuestieDev/issues/370

I'd really appreciate it if you could do this tweak. I've made a post on reddit and it got 5 upvotes, I know it's not much but it's still something :)
