Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?

Version: 2.3.3

by: Seerah [More]

Note: This addon has been rewritten because of the changes to the quest tracker in WoD. Most everything has been re-implemented so far. (Button skinning has not been added yet, for example.)

KNOWN ISSUE: Blizzard's new quest tracker is very delicate and taints very easily, not allowing you to use quest items from the tracker itself. If this happens and a window pops up, click "Ignore". You can use one of several available addons to use quest items. I use the quest items ring on OPie, for example, or there is also QuickQuestItem or ExtraQuestButton or QuestItemButtonFix.

This addon will add many improvements to the new quest tracker frame. The slash command is /wfww. You may also alt-click the tracker's collapse button to access the options.

Features:

allows the quest tracker to be moved wherever you please
quest tracker will collapse in whichever direction it's anchored to (just up or down in WoD currently)
quest tracker remembers collapsed state
option to have scrollable quest tracker
adjust the scale of the quest tracker
adjust the font, font size, font flag (outline, etc.), or remove shadow
option to remove the art behind the section titles
adjust the spacing between lines (disabled in WoD currently)
give the quest tracker a background and/or border (border can be class-colored)
optional support for rActionButtonStyler to skin quest item buttons
adds a tooltip for quests to display their objective text
allows you to minimize/maximize (toggle) the tracker via keybind
option to automatically collapse the tracker when entering an instance or during pet battles
shortcuts added to the collapse button (toggle Quest Log, Achievement Frame, addon's options)
global or character specific profiles

History:
With the new quest tracker losing its ability to be moved freely, I set about adding support for it back into my minimap addon, PocketPlot. But it just wasn't as simple anymore with the way it was coded. So, I set out to create a standalone addon (or at least a module for PocketPlot). Originally named Movable WatchFrame, I started adding other features to the addon. Then I had to change its name, because it did much more than just moved the tracker. Thanks to Recompense for suggesting "Who Framed Watcher Wabbit?"

Looking for more?
These are other addons to enhance your questing experience which are tried and tested with WFWW. If you know of any more, let me know via PM and I can add them to this list.

Quelevel: Adds quest levels to the tracker, quest log, and gossip frames
Jobs'a'goodn: Plays sounds upon completion of quests and their objectives
QuestRouterLite: Adds the game's quest POIs to the minimap and works with TomTom to create waypoints for them automagically
TomTom: Allows you to set waypoints to destinations including a new feature to automatically show the way for quests
LightHeaded: Shows comments from the Wowhead website's quest database in a window attached to your quest log frame.

Known Issue:
If you alter the font size too much, you may have to reload your UI in order to have the quest tracker redrawn. Some text may also overlap if it flows onto a second line. In this case, consider adjusting the whole frame's scale instead.

v.2.3.3
- fix for Torghast anima buffs hiding in the scroll frame

v.2.3.2
- update for 9.0

v.2.1.1

- option to disable art behind section titles

v.2.0.1
- removed offending code that was causing taint that prevented you from using quest items - new tracker, why you have to be so delicate??? (this also caused an option or two to disappear, and you may need to reload the UI if making changes to the font or font size)

v.1.5.1
- raise strata of collapse button so that its usable even if header text overlaps it from a large font size

- added a keybind to toggle (min/max) the quest tracker. You can set it in the WFWW options

- added support for nUI (to keep it from hogging the watch frame) - thanks, Xrystal! (I did not add nUI to the OptionalDeps line in the .toc, figuring that since WFWW starts with a W, it would load close to the end. PLEASE let me know if I need to fix anything!)
- added option to remove the font shadow
- organized options a bit better

v.1.2
- added option to hide the watch frame when no quests or achievements are being tracked

v. 1.1.1

Barleduq Premium Member Forum posts: 135 File comments: 742 Uploads: 0	One bug report, one request I've lived with it so far, and figure I can still, but also figured I'd mention: When I get a pop-up quest with the objective tracker frame closed, it frequently doesn't pop up a window in front of me, but will have a wider-than-the-frame line on the tracker. I have to open the tracker, which puts it back into the frame, and then I can interact with it. I expect you might need a picture of this, and I'll try to remember to take one, but it can be difficult to do so cause I'm usually in the midst of something and confusingly trying to figure out why I didn't get a quest completion... The request is: could you make an option to have world quests show up in the tracker on top of the list, rather than at the bottom? I frequently have to scroll down to find them, leaving it scrolled to see the percentage-complete bar, and it doesn't go back to the top when I'm done. The latter makes sense, cause I want it scrolled while I need it. But having it populate at the top rather than the bottom would help greatly. Thank you! -Barleduq

This is with no addons enabled. I can get it to stop temporarily by changing the frames height to 620 or above in options. It goes back to this behavior after reload.

That is a gif of the behavior.

I *think* I know what you are referring do, but your gif doesn't show you clicking anywhere to make it scroll... I have no idea what you mean by having the scrollbar hidden - it's showing in your gif, too.

The quest watch frame is embedded in a scroll frame. The watch frame has to be tall/long enough to handle anything that may pop up in there - otherwise quests get chopped off and don't display.

The scroll frame is there so that you are able to have that long watch frame to accommodate many quests/achievements/etc. without it taking up so much room on your screen. In the addon's options, you can alter the height of this scroll frame so that your watch frame only takes up as much UI space as you would like it to, while allowing you to scroll through the list. (Note: even if the list doesn't take up the entire watch frame, it is still the entire watch frame that is contained in the scroll frame.)

If you do not want your watch frame to be scrollable, there is a setting for that in the addon options. Disable it, and the scrollbar disappears - you can't even accidentally scroll through with your mousewheel.

If this doesn't answer your question, then you're going to need to be more clear.

The collapsing was just a script I had in kgPanels. Other than that, it's my ChipperChat.

Re: Re: 7.1.5

I disabled all addons save WFWW. Seems there is an issue somewhere along the lines. WFWW works as intended by itself. I know I've got kgpanels that frame it, however, I'm not seeing the error there. I did install a new addon, GottaGoFast..

After thinking about this, I disabled that and reloaded, WFWW now working like it used to. So some interaction between the two of those addons causes the issue.

The scrolling works, however, all the text just moves up and out of the frame, making this look real ugly. Screenshot shown below, quest tracker to the right of the screen.

I do not have this issue. Does the problem persist if you disable all other addons besides WFWW?

An interface reload (after disabling WFWW) restores the world quest and allows the Might of Dalaran to function normally.

Sorry for the delay - you posted right after I headed on vacation for a week.

Two questions:
1. Does it function normally after a reload if you leave WFWW enabled?
2. Does it function normally when WFWW is the only addon enabled?

Thanks for that. That's left over from when you still had to click a button to show all the quests. Will be in next upload.

Changing the step to 1 made it all good. Wanted to also report an error I get when I open the map by right clicking the wfww objective dropdown box. The map still opens and it happens both on opening and closing the map frame. This is with no other addons enabled.

Code:

I don't remember 100% if AceConfig will let you set it outside of the step bounds in the edit box. Did you try to type in the value you wanted instead of using the slider?

If that doesn't work, change the step value for the height setting in wfww.lua from 5 to 1 (or whatever step you would like). This should be on or around line 148. (If you don't have a text editor with line numbers, search for the words "WatchFrame height", and it will be a few lines below there.)
