[Archive] Questie - A Vanilla World of Warcraft 1.12.1 QuestHelper scraped from Mangos data
Quote:Questie
A quest helper for vanilla
After weeks of additional development, Questie v2.0 is finally out. We are steadily approaching 400 commits and gained a third developer since then.
We have since moved away from Cartographer and now support all mapping addons, making us a standalone QuestHelper. We just draw frames on the world map ourselves. In addition to that, all notes now work across zones and display on any zoomlevel of the map.
Available quests are now drawn on the map in a much more reliable fashion. In addition, our quest helper should now be more reliable in knowing whether you have already picked up a quest and thus not clutter the map in notes. The database has also been updated so that data for over 1000 more quests is now available.
The quest tracker has been reworked to look a lot more like the Blizzard default quest tracker. It can now hold any amount of quests and can be moved at will by the user. Clicking on a quest in the tracker opens an interactive arrow that always points to the closest, unfinished objective of the quest.
The database is scraped from MangosZero and turned into Lua files. Some of it, mostly objective data is taken from QuestHelper 2.4.3.
Just to avoid any confusion: I am Schaka on GitHub.
Notes:
- Please use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs (link at the bottom)
- A tutorial on how to submit buglogs (for bugged quests) to us will be on wiki (GitHub) soon

Quote: Yeah there is. It's in Interface\AddOns. If you don't have one, you can create it. But I would advise you to just not install your WoW on your C: drive in later windows versions or at least start it as Administrator.

Hey, this is fantastic. But the one thing I can't figure out is how to lock or minimize the custom quest tracker on the screen. I've been accidentally dragging it off the screen at time when trying to move the camera around. Sorry if there is something obvious that I missed.
