QuestAreas

Main

This addon builds a database of the locations of all quest goals you complete, for easy quest location reference.

NOTE: This is a first beta release, there may be ugly hairy bugs. Please let me know of any problems. Or any suggestions. Or anything related, really.

NOTE 2: NOT ALL QUESTS ARE IN THE DATABASE (yet). Unless you use the provided "starter" database (bundled in the archive, import it with "/qarea import"), you'll start with a clean database with no quests in it. The database will slowly be filled by completing quests and letting QuestAreas record the locations. So don't complain that you've downloaded the addon and the base and it doesn't have all possible quests in it - because it doesn't. If users submit their databases to me and I compile a large perhaps-all-quests-located base, I'll happily post it here. But until then, you're building your own.

NOTE 3: THIS ADDON HAS NO MAP-MARKING FEATURES OF ITS OWN. You'll need Cartographer, MapNotes, or MetaMap for that. On its own, QuestAreas can only give you text information (which isn't really all that bad!).

As much as this might seem pointless (why record quest goal locations, when they're only now being completed?), QuestAreas can indeed be useful when: - returning to complete a quest when you had to leave the area - levelling an alt in a zone already known and quested in with another character, - using a quest areas database provided by someone else (or just downloaded) - showing others where to do the quest

Features include: - integration with Cartographer Notes or MetaMap - sharing quest data ingame (through the party line, between QuestAreas users)

Usage: - use /qarea for a list of options. Should be self-explanatory. If it's not, let me know. - in Cartographer, use Cartographer's map menu to access QuestAreas settings.

To do: - non-EN languages (the basic localication data is there, I just need translations from helpful users) - a menu option in MetaMap's menu

Known bugs: - sometimes QuestAreas causes a lockup right at the beginning of the game. Should be fixed by now, but you never know...
