  • 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 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! :)

    This mod has for quite a while been using the obsolete, deprecated Quixote-1.0 & Tourist-2.0 libraries. They haven't had any real code changes in over a year.

    Tourist-2.0 contains no WotLK data. Quixote-1.0 isn't used by any other modern quest mod (except nQuestLog, which is effectively abandoned & being held together with scotch tape).

    Any chance of updating this to use the currently supported LibQuixote-2.0 & LibTourist-3.0?

    @Zidomo:
    I'm going to update the libs soon.

    This is a great addon, but I play with others, who use questhelper for sharing information. Thing is, this addon doesn't seem to have a key sequence, or a libdatabroker connection to launch without one of the approved questlog connections...so I cannot open it while running questhelper, right? Why not just make a key comment (like /qcm show) or connect it up with broker so we could have a button in button bin or titan panel? Then everyone could use it with any quest log addon...

    Thanks for your suggestion, I will consider creating a ldb connection.

    Looks like it could be a great addon, unfortunately it is not working with Questguru. I tried alt-clicking on everything the Quest Log, Tracker, and not working =(

    gr11x,

    @EPRock:
    I tested the release and it does work with the latest version of QuestGuru. Please attach your error log if it does not work for you.

    Also be sure to disable other quest tracker addons. If qComments finds more than one of the supported addons it will hook only one of them following this priority:

    1. nQuestLog
    2. QuestGuru
    3. MonkeyQuest

    I just wanted to let you know that I've really enjoyed your mod. :) The comments make it much easier to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing, when the game's quest log/entry doesn't give you enough information to go on. Thank you for creating this extremely helpful addon.

  • gr11x, Thx for the standard questlog support. It is easier for me to use it than nQuest.

    Is it possible to add support for HandyNotes (using mapsted+handynotes instead of cartographer)?

    I just added support for the standard questlog so you don't have to use nQuestLog or other questlog addons anymore. Additionally, I added support for QuestGuru and MonkeyQuest.

    Please try out the beta version and leave some feedback.

    The LoD addon stub folders appear to be missing from the 3.0.2 build resulting in missing dependency errors. (the curse updater removes them when updating from 3.0.1).

    @Cubittus:
    Thanks for the hint, my fault. I just fixed the package and included the stubs.

    Manually installing the qComments_{Alliance|Horde|Common}DB folders from the last 3.0.1 release fixes the problem.

  • Is this any better than LightHeaded?

  • ffwd said 

    imo, LH is somewhat heavier on resourses. it seems to load more quest info+the interface. so qC is like LHlite :)

    @overdweller:
    qComments (weekly) does not have a fancy interface or an overload of features but its database is updated constantly and more often than LightHeaded, afaik. Therefore it is not "better" but has some other benefits.

  • gr11x is that the 194 version or is there a newer better version of nQL we should use? WowEye I got that too but if you hold alt and hover over the expanded quest text it should come up. If it does not then mostlikely there aren't comments for it.
