  • About qComments (weekly)
  •  

This addon shows user comments from wowhead.com to help questing.
It is a modified version of the original qComment addon (credits to ostap):

  • The database is build weekly from wowhead.com (currently only with English quest name support)
  • Comments are sorted by rating, highest first
  • All data is loaded on demand to decrease memory usage
  • Characters at a lower level will use only one database, higher level characters will use two databases
  • Level requirements for each quest are shown

See Install Guide before asking questions!


Dependencies:

  • no other addons required, just use the standard questlog to show the comments
  • nQuestLog, QuestGuru or MonkeyQuest can optionally be used
  • Cartographer can optionally be used to get minimap notes from commentaries

Usage:

  1. Open your default Quest Tracker or your QuestLog
  2. Press and hold down ALT key
  3. Click on a quest title
    • Comments table shows up

To hide the comments table:

  • Hold down ALT key and click on the same quest title again

Usage with nQuestLog or QuestGuru or MonkeyQuest:

  1. Expand some quests in the questlog frame (be sure the frame is locked)
  2. Press and hold down ALT key
  3. Move cursor over a quest name
    • Comments table shows up

To hide the comments table:

  • While still holding down ALT key move cursor anywhere outside the questlog frame

To keep the comments table open:

  • Release ALT key before moving cursor

Additional usage (Cartographer addon needed):

To set notes on minimap manually:

  • Press CTRL + ALT to show the comments
    • qComments (weekly) will try to find coordinates in the commentaries and place a red X on the minimap

To remove notes from minimap manually:

  • Press SHIFT + ALT to show the comments
    • qComments (weekly) will delete every red X which belongs to the quest and was placed before on the minimap

/qcm setnotes [on/off]
toggles placing notes (red X) on the minimap on quest acquire using coordinates found in the quest comments

/qcm deletenotes [on/off]
toggles deletion of notes from minimap on quest completion


Please leave some feedback! :)

    @siradude:
    Thanks for your information. Fubar_PerformanceFU hasn't been updated since last year. I recently removed it because I was getting huge framedrops while flying in Northrend with the addon enabled (the CPU polling seems to have serious issues). Have a look here for an alternative:

    Just for information, CPU profiling done through _any_ performance-measuring mod--such as OptionHouse, AddonProfiler, PerformanceFu, etc.--will have a negative effect on framerates. Not just PerformanceFu.

    This is due to the fact CPU profiling actually uses CPU. It is a built in WoW function; these mods just display what WoW is measuring. So as long as a profiling mod has no bugs (PerformanceFu still works fine), the mod itself isn't causing the issue, its having CPU profiling turned on that does.

    Turn CPU profiling off when you are done testing and there will be no problems.

    In v3.2.1 I added support for Blizzard's default Quest Tracker:
    Just ALT+click on a quest title in the tracker to show the comments. ALT+click again to hide them.

    gr11x, The 2 errors I get are the last 2 I posted (one also list cartagrapher). Now these errors only happen on some alts. The only addon I can se that they have that the ones that work don't is a XP tracking addon that shows X - XP gained X- # of kills to next level. I will try disabling that and see if it works. This may be the same issue SnowRivers is running into.

    SOme toons have no errors, this is the error I get on the toons that ahve a problem with it:

    They should have the same addons running so not sure what the issue is.

    gr11x, Do you know of a reason why Qcomments would work on some toons but not others? It is throwing error on a 42 rogue but not on my 4 80's. is there a slash command to see a config menu?

    @Enigma_TL:
    What error do you get exactly?
    Try removing all qComments files in your WTF\Account\SavedVariables directory.
    Some small settings can be done with the /qcm command.

  • Since Wowhead is part of ZAM, could you please make qComments available on WoWInterface.
    It'd be nice to use one updater to track all my addons, and Minion is not crippled so it is the preferred one, besides other reasons.
    Thanks.

    Small fix for "out of date" message in addons listing:
    Change the interface version in the following .TOC files from 30100 to 30200:

    qComments_CommonDB\qComments_CommonDB.toc
    qComments_HordeDB\qComments_HordeDB.toc
    qComments_AllianceDB\qComments_AllianceDB.toc

    This will also be fixed in Monday's release.

    @Enigma_TL:
    Thanks again for helping out with testing. I'll create a fresh database and release a beta version with the fixed code not later than Wednesday.

    Ok changed it to this:

    function qComments:QuestLogTitleButton_OnClick(thus, ...)
    self.hooks["QuestLogTitleButton_OnClick"](thus, ...)
    if (IsAltKeyDown()) then
    local qId = thus:GetID();
    if (qlIsVisible and qId == lastId) then
    tablet:Close('qComments')
    ttIsVisible = false
    qlIsVisible = false
    lastId = qId
    else
    local qData, zone, msg = ""
    gtitle, qData, zone = self:GetComments(object, qId)
    if (qData and qData["comments"]) then
    if ( IsControlKeyDown() ) then
    self:DoNote(gtitle, 0)
    elseif ( IsShiftKeyDown() ) then
    self:DoNote(gtitle, 1)
    end
    aComments = qData["comments"]
    glvl = qData["reqlevel"]
    else
    aComments = {}
    end

    Will try it. Have a good vacation!

    @Enigma_TL:
    Please try again this line (please copy/paste):

    local qId = thus:GetID();

    I made a typo by writing "qID" (notice the capital D there) but it has to be "qId".

    Thanks a lot for bugfixing but I'm still on vacation without WoW until end of August.
