About QuestPointer

QuestPointer puts the quest POI icons from the world map onto your minimap.

It’ll integrate with TomTom’s crazyarrow, if you have it installed. Click the broker plugin or type “/qp closest” to have the crazyarrow point to the current closest quest POI.

You can choose to:

  • Auto-track the closest POI in TomTom
  • Only show icons for quests you’re watching
  • Make icons on the edge of the minimap become arrows to make it more obvious that they’re far away
  • Change the icon scale

TODO:

  • Arrowed-icons should include the number/icon that the closer ones use
  • Show the POI blobs (the area-showing stuff)

Tagging v8

--------------------

David Lynch:
    - Astrolabe r125
    - Bump TOC
    - Better tooltips
    - Hide completed quest POIs if they're not on the edge
    Based on nebula169's patch in Issue 7. I rearranged where it was getting called, though.
    - I saw this error occur

    This no longer appears to be working for me in patch 4.3, unless it just has some issues with all the Twilight Highlands quests I've been doing. Hopefully you'll get a chance to update it if there's a problem. Thanks for the great addon. Smile

    Bug: doesn't work with "Rotate Minimap" option

    Feature Request: Add ability to disable the glueing to the edge - I'd like it to show the default Blizzard arrow when they're off the map, and only show the dots when I'm close enough. (bonus points if you can show the shaded areas)

    Huh, suddenly it is working with rotate minimap on another character - maybe there's something quirky going on in Astrolabe... I'll chekc my settings on the other character if it shows up again.

    Hmm... it just broke again - it happened after I completed one quest and it went to draw the next one - that one was locked in the corner until I disabled/enabled tracking for it.

    this is a weird, obnoxious bug... it seems to be mainly triggering on ZONE_CHANGED_NEW_AREA - I cross a zone border and the POI breaks, but if I toggle tracking off/on while in that zone, it's fine from then on...

    ugh, more weirdness - when the glitch happens, if I fly to where the actual POI is, the tooltip still pops up where the dot SHOULD be, not where it's showing up x.x

    PLEASE update this addon, I hate having to check on my world map all the time.

    Is there another addon that serves the same function?

    The reason that QP is no longer working with TomTom is that Astrolabe:GetCurrentPlayerPosition() has changed what it returns. The first two values returned used to be CurrentMapContinent and CurrentMapZone but are now CurrentMapAreaID and CurrentMapDungeonLevel. Astrolabe:PlaceIconOnMinimap expects the new values but TomTom:AddZWaypoint still expects the old values. A temporary fix is to update QuestPointer/TomTom.lua by adding:
    local pc, pz
    right after
    local t = 0
    and then change
    tomtompoint = TomTom:AddZWaypoint(closest.c, closest.z, closest.x * 100, closest.y * 100, closest.title, false, false, false, false, false, true)

    to
    pc, pz = GetCurrentMapContinent(), GetCurrentMapZone()
    tomtompoint = TomTom:AddZWaypoint(pc, pz, closest.x * 100, closest.y * 100, closest.title, false, false, false, false, false, true)

    ShowUIPanel(WorldMapFrame) --WorldMapFrame:Show() -- bad boy, use proper API by blizzard to show it properly ;)

    A minor fix; find "WorldMapFrame:Show()" and replace with "ShowUIPanel(WorldMapFrame)" (line ~241)

    Properly shows the world map when clicking on POI icons on the minimap. :)

    [Bug] QuestPointer v7 - 4.0.3a

    1. QuestPointer is no longer talking with TomTom to get auto-tracking.
    2. In the Interface options the tooltip on the bottom two options are the same.
    3. When QuestPointer is enabled the Objective Number Icon in the minimap sometimes stays stuck in the corner when it moves in the Field of View on the minimap.

    Resoultion for #1, #3. Downgrade back to QuestPointer v6

    TomTom has since been updated to use the same version of Astrolabe that QuestPointer v7 does. Install TomTom v40000-1.0.4 from this site.

    With the updated TomTom, issue "#1" mentioned above has for sure been fixed; #3 might be.
