UberQuest for Wow 2.x with a whole new bag of tricks. UberQuest is a drop-in replacement for Blizzard's QuestLog providing a dual pane view, full panes for the quest listing and a second full pane for the quest description itself. Plus a powerful minion.
UberQuest was originally written by Saien. This latest version is brought to you by Captain Crunch, who has added a ton of amazing features. It's like a whole new UberQuest. Please see the patch notes for the latest features.
I'm keeping the torch alive for UberQuest because I haven't found any other quest addon I like quite as much. However I don't have much time for addons, as you can tell it took months for me to officially publish CC's great enhancements. If you are interested in taking over UberQuest, please email me at ithilyn@ithilyn.com.
Enjoy!

2.4
· Add quest to minion on progress - If selected in the configuration window, a quest will be automatically added to the minion if the player advances an objective of that quest
· Lightheaded button - If LightHeaded is detected, a WOWHead logo will appear in the upper right corner of the detail frame. When clicked, this will reattach the LightHeaded frame to UberQuest. I found that it was really easy to break the attachment just by moving the LH frame, using the "attach" console command, thinking it would work as advertised (it causes the LH frame to disappear when UberQuest is active), or in any number of other ways. This feature will immediate fix that problem without forcing you to do a "/console reloadui" to get it back.
· Updated TOC to work with the 2.4 patch
· Updated UberQuest to work with the new LightHeaded
· Resized the LightHeaded frame to match the size of the UberQuest detail frame
· Modified shift-clicking of quest titles to pass quest links to the chat window instead of text
· The scale slider has had its scale range increased to 150%. This is to accomodate players that use decreased UI scaling on WoW (even 100% was difficult to read at the lowest scale setting)
· The "Active Minion" option may now be used with locked minions. However, a locked minion is no longer click-through to the background; it just can't be moved.
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.

Any chance you can make it automatically track quests when you kill a quest mob or get a quest loot?

Ubik saidThanks for your work Ithilyn!
But could you or anyone have a look why this addon causes Tooltip Questmob (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/6434/) to produce errors trying to show a questreward in Uberquest?!

Raogeh saidWtf is this? I thought I downloaded version 2.1.2, but it's 2.1.1? Finally I had to download correct version from other site ( wanted lightheaded support). Very disappointed in Curse now.

Eldredd saidRaogeh, if the wrong version of an addon is uploaded to Curse it is not the fault of curse but of the addon's author itself. There are thousands of addons on Curse and we can not manage to go through every single one and make sure that the version that is on curse is the most up to date one.
Do you honestly think the staff here goes around the web and collects all the addons we find and uploads them here ourselves? Each project page is put up by the addons author and it is up to them to maintain it and keep them up to date, we just provide the service. I hope this changes your "Disappointed in Curse" feelings.
