QuestHelperLite is an unofficial branch of QuestHelper aimed at providing the core subset of features in a slimmed down lighter version. Although some of the code and art assets of QuestHelper have been utilized, QuestHelperLite has been rewritten from the ground up and is in no other way affiliated with QuestHelper and those who have worked on it in the past.
The main deviation from QuestHelper comes from not utilizing a custom database to store quest objectives and locations. Instead QuestHelperLite gets all of it's info from the game itself. This has the advantage of providing a more compact addon without the need to update once new quests are available in game. If WoW knows about it, so does QuestHelperLite. Although this provides for a much lighter and compact addon, it is not without faults and some features of the old QuestHelper are not currently possible.
The core subset of features included in QuestHelperLite are as follows:
- Quest Pathing - Calculates an optimal route for you to follow while questing
- Tracking Arrow - A configurable arrow guides you to your next objective
- World Map Icons - Quest objectives are viewable outside of your current zone
- Ant Trails - Ant trails show the best calculated optimal route
- Context Menus - Context menus are displayed when you right-click objectives
- Ignorable Objectives - Ignore unwanted objectives
QuestHelperLite will stay updated with donors like you!

Eka Jul 16, 2011 at 20:26 UTC - 0 likesFrom what I can deduce, I am forced to track quests with the built-in quest tracker as long as this mod is enabled. I prefer to use MonkeyQuest over the wow-objective tracker, but even with all the settings under the Objectives setting turned off, when I accept a new quest it shows up on my screen as tracked.
Going into my quest log shows the quest as tracked and even 'untracking' the quest causes it to disappear then reappear as tracked. Disabling this mod stops this behavior.
Help please?

Yes, you can leave it. Sadly, I think the addon will add it back again when you log in. It currently uses the channel to tell other users of the addon if there is a new version etc.
In the future, I planned on using it to suggest other people who are on the same quest for grouping.
I tried to make the channel as unobtrusive as possible, and it shouldn't show up in any window unless you enable it.

theondry May 18, 2011 at 02:41 UTC - 0 likesIs it safe to leave the chatchannel /questhelperlite?
I'm rather stingy with letting addons use chat channels, as I tend to use a lot of them on my own, right now.
What is it used for?
From what I can tell from the code, all it does is check for a new version.
