This addon was originally maintained by Daniel Rehn. I've decided to take over the project, with permission from Daniel.
Integrated that fix with multiple quests not showing up in an NPC's gossip screen
Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.

Mac Support
WoW addons are not platformed based. As such, they can be used on either Mac or PC. You can extract both .zip and .rar files on a Mac using StuffitExpander.

BurninFingerTipz saidIs there a way to make it so you can link quests as you would normally?
Every time I go to link a quest in-chat it puts, '[67+] Quest Name'.

SamildanachOfAoTR saidSince patch 2.4 I'm always either getting Bonus Honour or Title info when I display a new quest. After digging around a bit I found that if you add the following lines into the file EQL3_Log.lua (not the EQL3_Log.xml) at lines 1115 - 1119 you will stop this problem. This is probably a temporary fix but imo it's better than nothing.
-- added these 4 lines to stop the bonus honour and title frames popping up for every quest with patch 2.4
QuestDetailHonorFrame:Hide()
QuestDetailPlayerTitleFrame:Hide()
QuestRewardHonorFrame:Hide()
QuestRewardPlayerTitleFrame:Hide()
Note: You can edit these files using Windows Notepad

Gazadaz saidI'm wanting to toss those lines into my log, and I can't figure out where to put them? You listed line #s - is there a way to show line #s in wordpad? If not could you list what word/s to search for to replace/insert the lines? I searched for those words in the lines you added but they are not in the Log.

Drikel saidCheck out this for changing notepad to show line numbers... very simple.
http://www.bembridge.com/article.asp?ID1=1=109=314
(just copy and paste the URL into your address bar)
This will show the Line and column number, your cursor is currently on, in the bottom right corner of the notepad window.

20 May update: The Notepad application on Windows XP and Vista will display line numbers if you select the View > Status Bar menu option. Note that this option is not available in Notepad in earlier versions of Windows. Also note that you must have wordwrap turned off to enable that status bar to be selected.

orcashow saidI've run both EQL & bEQL and had that issue due to another mod. I've since replaced a bunch of mods w/ACE2 versions & haven't had a problem since. Might try making a test character & load your mods as normal. Try EQL & see if the problem happens. If so then start unloading mods (uncheck them in the AddOns menu)starting with the largest (e.g. UI HUDs like Perl, MetaHUD, etc; Mapping mods like Cartographer, MetaMap; Auctioneer, and so forth until EQL works again. The mod you last unchecked before EQL started working again is most likely the cause of the problem. You might just need an updated version of that mod. If EQL alone has the problem then you need to backup your mods & your WTF folder, remove the EQL mod folder & .LUA file from the WTF\Account\<account-name>\SavedVariables folder. Then get the current version of EQL & install it. Hope that helps.

thebl4ckd0g saidI have a problem with this and all the various extended questlog mods on curse (including Bayi's that people say "works"). Every time I go to NPC's with multiple quests, it only shows 1 quest until I complete the first one I took. But if I disable the mod, it doesn't. Now this only started happening recently - so I'm not sure what it is...Anybody have any suggestions? I don't get any error messages - just doesn't show multiple quests on the NPC with the mod enabled...

Genjutsu saidYeah I guess I was biting off more than I could chew. Allotting time to develop software is a lot harder than I thought. But hey, if you found a mod that works, more power to you.
Hopefully with a holiday schedule, I'll have more free time to devote to EQL and Necrosis.

ElrickEnonimis saidmy biggest complaints now:
- trying to move a quest to another group (something no other quest mod I've ever seen or tried does) gives that global line 533 error.
- no quests remain tracked upon logging out anymore.
And my biggest suggestions:
- ability to size the width of the frame for the tracker
- ability to scale the logbook
- ability to set colorizing in quest description for names, locations, items, etc

Shpongled saidI had the same problem as eNTi... In the Quest Log it shows "Honor:" or something like that towards the middle of the log. Also there seemed to be some other problems, so I turned it off. :( Which is a shame because I really liked having the log so large that I could see them all.

eNTi saidnice mod, but it sometimes overwrites parts of the quest rewards with "honor reward" and also there never actually is such a reward (for normal quests).
