QuestHelper2

Oh noes!

I'm not working on QH2 at the moment, and probably won't be again until sometime after May. Sorry for the inconvenience.

About

If you would like to leave a comment (not report a bug or request a feature), please do so at the CurseForge project page. Of course, I'll personally be demonstrating what not to do by filling the comments page with inane banter, but I expect more from you.

Bug reports and feature requests should be posted to the CurseForge Tickets page.

Mostly working features

Replacement Quest Tracker
- Sorts quests and objectives to match the route.
- Buttons for quest items.
  - The topmost button can be assigned a hot key, so you can press a button instead of clicking it.
- AutoQuest buttons.
- Displays flight times.
- Little embedded maps for the objective tooltips.
Manually assigned objective priorities are saved between game sessions now.
Can display dig sites for the archeology profession.
A configuration screen.
Objective Arrow
Paths and objectives on the world map.
Routing
Quest Database.
- The Database is optional and can be disabled to save memory, in which case QH2 will only use data from QuestHelper2_Collection and Blizzard's POIs.

Broken/Missing Features

Path Finding (Currently calculates straight-line paths so that the routing can work.)
- Flight paths aren't considered in path finding.
Sharing quests and objectives with other players.
Objectives can't yet be modified or manually sorted.

Useful pages

Tasks	Stuff I've got to do (but in all likeliness won't).
API	How to interface with QuestHelper2.
Translations	I can only speak a lost and broken dialect of azerothian murloc.
Data Submission	Submit the data that you can't possibly have on account of nothing working yet.
Repository Mirror	Not always up-to-date, but is good for browsing changes online.

Any chance this would be updated? It's a very ambitious project and it has a lot more potential than QuestHelper 1

Sorry Folks, I am no longer working on this project. A number of events took place after GamesCom back in August that led me to a new job which is taking up all of my time currently.

A lot of what has happened I have not been able to transfer my data from work on QH2 as finding free time to do so has been very trying.

I did a make a lot of head way on QH2 and fixing several bugs and tuning the Quest Tracker system but I did not get around to getting the data where it needed to be to push a Alpha or Beta update.

With deep regrets I hope someone is able to take the helm on this great add on that Smariot started on. QH2 has a lot of promise and needs a lot of work.

Sincerely,

Jollyrigger

Grail keeps part of that information - where acquired and turned in. It does not have the objectives, nor where those objectives can be satisfied. Grail actually has most of the quest and NPC information localized. The quest names can be gotten from the client, but I have not been able to successfully get the NPC names from the client with any consistency.

Grail has prerequisite information so an analysis of its quest DAG could help in a limited sense. It would not help with regard to the actual objectives of the quest so knowing where to go using that information is not possibly currently with Grail.

Of course as Grail is relatively young, it is still being updated to get the most accurate information possible.

It also records the order quests are completed in; the plan was to try to derive a dependency tree from that information; but I never got around to it.

It records where a quest is acquired, completed, turned in, and where progress is made for each of its objectives. The quests are tracked by ID, and the objectives are tracked by their index. The database doesn't contain any quest text; it asks the client for that information as needed so that it can match the client's locale.

I am not familiar with your addon, but I was wondering what type of information you maintain for your quest database. I ask because I have been doing the Grail project whose goal is to create a single database of quest information that can be used by multiple addons. I know there are a couple of addons out there that have some information that Grail does not currently support, but Grail could easily be extended to handle those data. However, I would like to know if there is interest in having your addon be able to use Grail as its primary database backend (most likely augmented by whatever extra data you use that Grail currently does not support).

Honestly, who here hasn't lost a loved one to a temporal paradox?

Choice:

Yes, I haven't seen my significant other in years, they were definitely swallowed by a time vortex. Yes, but it's okay, we're maintaining a long distance relationship across universes using telepathy. No, but I'm dating a timtraveller, so it's a distinct possibility. I'm a temporal paradox victim, but it's okay, I have all you other non-existent people to keep me company. No, as paradoxes aren't real, I have nothing to fear from my unborn great grandson.
