Curse

• Second release of 0.99.7 fixes a small bug that was preventing quest collection.

Localization has began! Please help out with the transactions for QC at: http://wow.curseforge.com/addons/quest_completist/localization/ Keep checking back, more translations will be required over time as I add to the tables.

• Completed some more merging, but plenty more to follow - keep the data coming!
• Updated some of the collection code as I was getting some dud data that was messing with the database.
• Rewritten the menu system to improve performance and add full support for localization.
• Category dropdown submenus should display in alpha order now, (All languages).
• Interface options now also supports full localization.
• Rewritten the zone-switching code - The main quest listings should now auto-follow your player location even if you are not enUS\enGB locale!
• Lots of other small fixes.

There have been some big code changes this version, so if something is broken and I have missed it please notify me ASAP.

Version 0.99.6 – Beta Preperation Update

After a bit of a coding break I'm now working behind the scenes to try and prepare the addon for MoP and the Beta. I'm releasing this version so that you guys can at least get access to the new search feature (And please report any bugs you find with it). If you find any major problems with this version please post a comment ASAP - due to my break I've probably forgot to do something important before uploading!

• In this version you will likely see some green "!" icons for seasonal quests which are showing even though the seasonal event has finished (Mainly the Winter Veil ones). This is being worked on and should be fixed soon.
• I am currently gathering together all the data you guys have been sending over the last couple of months, so don't panic if you have sent updates through but do not see them within this version yet - I've had so many files sent that it is totally about 1.7 Million lines of text! It is going to take me a while to filter through these and get them merged. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I will have an update out with this new data included.

As soon as I get an beta invite I will then be starting work on gathering quest data and mapping data for MoP as well, with the aim to have the vast majority of quests from MoP ready for the official launch. If you manage to get into the Beta, your data will be very welcome!

Version 0.99.5 – Mapping Assistants Wanted!

Fixes the "!" map icons that patch 4.3 had broken.

Version 0.99.4 – Mapping Assistants Wanted!

• Approx 3400 quests now converted to the new mapping system.
• Should fix the problem with 0.99.3 where people could only see some of the map icons.

If you are interested in helping out by becoming a Mapping Assistant, then please pop me an email to viduus.wow@gmail.com and we can have a chat about it. Please bear in mind that the following will be massively helpful:

• At least some basic knowledge of LUA.
• Experience using SVN (Its very simple if not).
• Fairly obsessive about attention to detail.
• A good knowledge of the majority of quests within WoW, both old and new.
• Can communicate with me and\or other Assistants regularly so that we know what everyone is doing.

Version 0.99.3 – Mapping Assistants Wanted!

I’m now sitting at approximately 3000 quests converted to the new mapping system – however, I am looking to find a couple of assistants in order to help me get the guts of the database up to scratch before I start getting things prepared for the Mists of Pandoria beta (Whenever that’s going to be). If you’re interested keep reading to find out more. This will also free me up some time to get some of the more requested features on the way to being implemented.

During the last update I had to remove the TomTom support due to the new database layout, however much more robust TomTom Support now returns for quests which have been converted! (Which is another reason I want to find a couple of assistants). A tell-tale sign of a quest which has already been converted is when you hover over the quest in the main quest list, and you see green text detailing the locations of the NPC(s) which supply the quest. If you see this, then you can click the quest to notify TomTom you want to navigate there. This now also works when there are multiple starter NPCs – QC will map all of them, and then instruct TomTom you want to default to the closest one based on your location. Depending on how the look for Assistants goes, I may look at a possible way to at least return basic TomTom support to the quests which are not yet converted.

Thank you to all the people that continue to send me data. I have improved my merge code considerably, and each time I run a merge I can see that the database is getting more and more accurate. Keep it coming.

Version 0.99.2 - Seasonal Updates & Better Map Tooltips

A few more updates in this version. Nearly 30% of the quest database converted into the new mapping system.

One of the big improvements this version is the map tooltips. If there are icons very close together, when you hover over them, the addon will add multiple NPC's and their quests into a single tooltip where applicable. PLEASE NOTE THIS ONLY WORKS FOR QUESTS WHICH HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO THE NEW MAP SYSTEM.

• New and improved interface options layout. Filters are now separated into Map filters, Quest List filters, and Combined filters.
• Have added Brewfest quests to the database.
• QC now supports filtering seasonal quests so that they only show on the map if they are currently active. So far this only applies to Harvest Festival and Brewfest - because this feature is only supported when the quests are converted into the new mapping system. Seasonal quests which still rely on the older mapping system will still show at all times (This will be fixed as the seasonal events come around again).
• Seasonal quests will show on the map as Green "!" icons.
• Additional performance improvements.
• Other things I can't remember.

Version 0.99.1 - Alot of work ongoing

Please note that there have been a lot of behind the scenes changes in this version even though it may not look much different on the surface. Due to this, the addon is currently running 2 similtanious databases. Over time, this will return to a single database, however it is going to take some time for that conversation to be complete.

The biggest change being worked on at the moment is a completely new map system. Rather than having a map icon for every individual quest, meaning that there are lots of icons piled up on top of each other, the addon now creates a single icon for the quest initiator (i.e NPC or Item), and upon mousing over that icon it will now give you a full listing of all the quests that initiator provides (Taking into account your filtering options). There are also some new icons to help show what quests start from drops, or what quests start when you kill something, etc. This new system also natively supports quests which can be given by multiple quest givers, which the old system could not, and it supports maps which have multiple "floors", only showing the icons when the correct floor is viewed. Obviously until the entire database has been converted, old icons will continue to work as they used to, with all their normal limitations.

It is important to note however, that so far the conversion of quests into this new map system is only about 23% complete for this release. For quests which have not yet been moved to the new system, the old icon system will still be in place - including it's limitations. I will be releasing updates fairly reguarly as i continue to convert the data. Also note that so far most of the converted data has been for Alliance zones, but Horde players may well see some of the new icons in neutral areas or in some of their starter areas. Don't worry though, all Horde data will be converted in time also - I had to start somewhere.

Other updates:

• QC now has it's own configuration menu in the Interface Options. There is a new Filters button on the main QC interface which you can use as a shortcut.
• Some new filters have been started, and more are on the way in the future. For example profession quest filtering and low level quest filtering (for the map).
• Although these filters are now in place, there is still work to do in flagging all the appropriate quests with the correct profession information, so you may see some quests which do not follow these rules yet. If you spot any which are not functioning, please notify me and i will correct them.
• The Quest ID will now correctly show at the top of the Quest Dialogs - Sometimes in the past it would appear briefly and then disappear again. Displays during the Detail, Progress and Complete stages, rather than just the Detail stage.
• New, reworked database structure.
• Completely new mapping system under way.
• Collection code updated to support the new database structures. You should notice that your saved variables will be purged with the installation of this version as i can no longer use the older data.
• Streamlined and optimised several core functions to improve performance.
• For quests which have been converted to the new map system, the tooltips you get when you mouse-over quests in the main interface will now support showing multiple questgivers and locations if the quest actually has more than one.
• Many other small updates i can't even remember about.
