Port to TBC?

I realize this is a long shot, but figured it can't hurt to ask.

Basically I think it would be cool to see this addon ported to TBC 2.4.3. I don't know enough about making addons to know how hard this would be. I much prefer this addon to QuestHelper, the most popular questing addon used in TBC.

I've already branched a TBC version that made a snapshot of the zone data before Muehe's Vanilla fix. I agree with you that there needs to be a TBC version. However, most people use QuestHelper and personally I think it sucks. It doesn't show WHERE to get the quests. There are other mods I've tried such as Cartographer_Quests and it works "OK" but it's not as intelligent as Questie is in Vanilla. I'm in the process of getting setup to see if Questie plays nice in the TBC.

Might need to update some functions AND I'll need to figure out a way to update the database with TBC quest data since no Outlands quests exist in the current database. There is a some kind of a parsing program written in Java that refactors the questhelper database but I have no idea how to use it.

Contrary to what most people think of me and my ability to keep this project going, I'm not a developer and don't possess the skills to rebuild the database. I could figure it out as there is plenty of info to read up on but I've never done it. I could install Visual Studio and play around with the Java script to see if I can figure out how it works.

Funny that you should ask... I finished the QuestieTBC client today. I'm waiting for an updated database to be created by one of the original authors.

Look forward to seeing it!

It's up in the QuestieTBC branch... you can select the branch click the Download Zip icon. Then just copy the !Questie directory over to your Addon folder. You don't need any of the other files outside the !Questie directory.

thx for that does the outland Q also work?

commented

I mentioned in the release notes that no, not yet. I'm waiting for a tool to be updated that might give me the ability to create an updated database that will include all the Outland quests.

Did you ever update for TBC quests?

commented

Not yet, although we might do so sometimeβ„’ in the future. The branch is there for archiving purposes.

There is an addon called Carbonite, which is a full map addon including a quest helper I think.
