Questie Lua question

 Hey guys!

I wanted to ask you directly cause it really will save me a lot of time. I'm going to add Questie integration to map addon (carbonite) as option. So can you tell me which functions doing updates and drawing quest objectives icons and quest givers icons on the map? We do have our own quest module but I wanted to give users an option so when they use your addon they don't have to open blizzard map.

Well AFAIK most map addons just overwrite the WORLD_MAP_FRAME or whatever it's called and when doing that Questie should "just work"™.

As for how we actually put icons on the map, we use the the HereBeDragons library and have a draw queue that delivers notes to it over time so as to not lag out the client on re-draws.

Some basic notes on how to use our code can be found here, but as the page mentions please be cautious when calling anything outside the DB module.

Thank you. I will look into that.
