About Quest Item

Quest Item Bag

Quest item is intended to solve the problem of where on earth did the item I just got for the quest go to in my bags. If you play "hunt your bags" for quest items this is the addon for you.

The idea is that you get what looks like an extra bag (it cant actually give you extra bag space sorry) but that only shows your quest items. If you open this bag you will only see quest items or items that begin a quest. This way you have only a single location to look in to view all the items you need for a quest. You need never again have to open your normal bags to hunt for quest items.

I plan to add features like warning you if you put quest items in the bank, showing quest items in the bag that are in the bank. Colour coding your bag items to highlight quest items, and any other useful feature in line with the goal of the addon that users suggest.

Use /qi show or /qi open to display the bag. Or use the FuBar plugin to click to open it.

Initial commit of v0.01

At present other than the basic framework of the addon all it currently does is scan your bags at login and prints out in chat if it finds a quest item.

Very basic proof of concept pre-beta stuff at this stage.

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 has 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.

This is a terrific tool.

Is there a way to make it like allow you to search for any type of item? Like make it so I can type /qi filter Finger and it shows me all the rings in my bags.

Thanks though for a terrific addon.

Could you make something similar to this where it separates all the grayed out useless items? It would make it a lot easier to sell =P

You could just use Automaton, AutoProfit, Minimalist, GarbageFu or one of the about a dozen other add-ons that can automatically sell grey items to a vendor.

Used to use something similar to this that only showed items that required you to Use: them during quests, but this is a nice replacement as that other one got abandoned before WotLK came out.

Anyway, got a couple of ideas for you:
1) if possible, offer an option to filter things as I just mentioned. It may require parsing of tooltips to look for Use functions, I'm not sure...
2) make the keybinding a toggle, not a Show-Only option, and turn off the automatic hiding. It's just not intuitive to have it disappear whenever it feels like it, nor to have to close it with the mouse after opening it with a keypress.
3) offer some other form of sort order, perhaps chronologically based on when you picked up the quest; again, this would require some extra info to be saved though, so it might not be such a good idea... but maybe you could allow manual sorting?

Pericles said

Filtering is manually available at present but requires editing the ItemErrors.lua file and adding itemids to the exclude table.

I'll eventually add in game includes/excludes probably via a command line option.

Toggle should be easy enough and agreed after using it for a while it would be easier. Not sure what you mean by Auto-Hiding there is no such feature programmed.

Sorting is a right pain though would need a fair bit of infrastructure to support to map bag/slot ids to a QI bag slot id. Currently its left entirely to the game engine what the sort order is.

Can you add this feature:
Color the name of the item in the quest log and when you put the mouse on the the item, the item will be colored in the bag!!

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Pericles said

I can add this to the todo list not at all sure however it would be possible. It would depend on the level of detail available in the QuestLog API. I'd have to investigate further.

Does not work for me at all, have FuBar v3.5.6

Quest Item 1.21

shows up in FuBar but when I click it I get

Error: Tablet-2.0: You must set hint within a registration.

and sometimes when I start the game I get

Error: Cannot find a library instance of "LibSharedMedia-3.0".

. Tried everything, even installed 1.20 same problem.

Is this addon compatible with Fubar 3.5.6? Is it because I only have 2 quest items? Seems like I'm missing a Library or some sort of tooltip hints or something when it tries to load it.

Maybe conflicting with other addons? I will try disabling all my addons but Quest Item and Fubar to see if it fixes it.

Please Help

Fixed it when disabling all addons, I need to install LibSharedMedia-3.0 addon for it to work.. I did not see this mentioned anywhere or listed as a dependency. but it is.

Should be updated in the description.

Ah ok thats a bug. It should be an OPTIONAL dependency on LibSharedMedia-3.0 I'll fix this and upload a new version.

Hi was just woundering if you could add a toggle feature to this addon instead of just show.

Would be really helpful as I have it bound to a key then I could just tap it twice to check on something rather then clicking the X.

Also a custom exclude list would be a kewl feature so we could hide say ... tockens that are always going to be in there.

Reply Delete Ban User Report Permalink
Pericles said

Toggle feature easy to add I'll do that. Custom lists is implemented but currently implemented as outside the game. ie: you need to edit the itemerrors.lua file to add items for inclusion or exclusion.

The FuBar plugin isn't working because of its name. I renamed it FuBar_QuestItemFu in the addons folder, and now it's working fine. Might wanna update that, but thanks for another great one :)

When trying your new 1.21(r28) version(downloaded from Wowace), the Fubar plugin doesn't work. I have looked everywhere and cannot get it to appear.

I am using Fubar version 3.5.6
