Blagbird's Quest Map by Drakanwulf Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 2.0.2

by: Drakanwulf, hawkeye1889

Thanks to CaptainBlagbird for creating the original Quest Map program. Please see his ESOUI entry for the addon description and update history.

Since no one has changed this addon for a while and I needed it to supplement what MapPins does, I opted to update the Libraries and API to WolfHunter (4.1) specs. I could have continued to use Destinations to pick up the quest givers but Destinations plus MapPins was overkill, in my opinion, and the MapPins author has indicated that he was not interested in adding quest giver locations to his addon program.

Quest Map works for me on PTS and on Live (NA Servers); however, I have yet to go into any DLC content released after Wrothgar. Hopefully, this addon will pick up the new zones and sub-zones automatically. If it does not, then I shall have to apply my limited .lua programming knowledge toward obtaining the quest giver location data for the missing zones and sub-zones.

Which means if you cannot find a quest giver, then I too probably cannot find that quest giver and I am already (slowly) working on finding a way to update the data files to provide the information we both would like to see.

Should you have a request, or should you like to report a bug, please feel free to do it here. However, if you just want to bitch about something this addon does that you don't like, please be aware that I reserve the right to ignore pointless or brainless complaints!

FYI, I am a retired C++ and OOP application programmer, analyst, developer, and consultant. I am not dumb; however, I am ignorant about .lua programming, the ESO APIs, and what they both can do. Constructive direction, guidance, assistance, and critiques will be acknowledged and appreciated.

Thank you all for your patience.

Version 2.0.1:
Nothing new in the program code; however, thanks to Kyoma's inputs and Hawk1889's files, the Quest Names and Completed Quest Ids files have been updated to the Summerset/Wolfhunter/10024 ESO release.

The bad news is that this still won't display quest giver pins on your world and mini maps until one of your characters has started or completed that quest; however, once one of your characters has started or completed the quest, it should become visible to all of your characters.

The good news is that once you find a quest giver in any zone and start a quest or story line, the follow on quest givers WILL show up on your world and mini maps.

I am continuing to work on the Zone and Subzone data files to get them updated so all your "to do" starting quests will automatically display on your world and mini maps whenever you enter a zone.

Once again, thanks for your patience.

Version 2.0.2:
Is here. The issues with QM and the ESO API 100025 addon loading changes have been resolved. Please do not tweak any of the *.txt files you find in the addon and library folders; they are there for compatibility reasons.

Version 2.0.2+:
Fixed the nested folders issue with LibMapPins-1.0. I apologize for the mistake but that's the way ESOUI downloaded that addon to me. Changed the Optional Category back to "Map, Coords, Compasses".

Version 2.0.3:
Is in development. Hawkeye and I are busy manually updating the QM tables with Murkmire data... but it is going very slowly. We will keep you posted as we get closer to a release date. What I thought would take a day or two has grown to several days or more due to the table updates which require highly intensive, manual updates to multiple tables to make one quest giver appear on your map(s).

Can I expect to have released my own questmap version of it here?

@vecny.samotar, if you have a Quest Map version that displays more quest pins, has been thoroughly tested on PTS, and does not generate ESO error screens when you load it or use it while playing the game, please upload your update as a version 2.0.2 Patch so you can give yourself credit for your work.

Hawkeye1889 and I welcome everyone who wants to join us in getting this addon working properly.

we probably did not understand
you wrote that you are planning to release your own version, that is to say, the new addon questmap, and my question was that it would not be on this page (Blagbird's Quest Map by Drakanwulf) but it will be a new page and it will probably be a name and I do not have to worry about adding addons anymore, but the addon is already published (I mean the new addon) ...

so my question was when the new addon questmap was released, but you will write what comments on that page (Blagbird's Quest Map by Drakanwulf)

QM2 also uses updated Quest, Map, and Zone location identifiers rather than indexes to keep things consistent because location identifiers don't change with every release where location indexes can and sometimes do.

If all goes well, we should produce a better, more flexible, Quest Map addon that is self-maintaining so Hawk and I don't have to update tables and data bases every time ZOS issues another ESO release. Oh, yeah... I forgot... and faster too.

So, cross your fingers ... we are working as fast as we can.

Hooray!!!

Unfortunately, this task is turning out to be a lot more difficult than I thought it would be...

I agree with you about the global settings for the pin icon and size. After that, the World Map filter settings are by character and I don't know how to set those or even if it's possible to configure those filter settings as account wide... yet.

Thx for your answer

Take all the time you need to fix it.

Its a great addon and i personally dont want to miss it

So, cross your fingers ... we are working as fast as we can.

Just logged into the NA Server with the ESOUI version of Quest Map 2.0.1. Did not receive any errors at all. May I suggest that you:

1. Stop the game.
2. Clear the Questmap.lua file in your SavedVariables folder.
3. Download and install QuestMap 2.0.1 from the ESOUI website. If you use Minion, you may need to get instructions on downloading and installing ESO addon programs manually... as Minion does not always work as advertised.
4. Start the game. Hopefully, these steps have stopped the error message(s).

If these suggestions did not solve your problem, then my best guess is that there is a conflict between QuestMap and one of your other addon programs. You should:

1. Disable any out-of-date addon programs you may be using. There may conflicts between QuestMap and one (or more) of the out-of-date addon programs.
2. Stop and restart the game. Hopefully that clears your error message(s).

If none of these suggestions solve your problem, then my best guess is that there is a conflict between QuestMap and one of your other addon programs. You should disable all your addon programs EXCEPT QuestMap and stop and restart the game. Hopefully this clears your error message(s).

If nothing has uncovered the cause of your problem, then I am at a loss to help you. It has to be something in the game or in the ESO .lua API that has changed. Try running a Repair operation from the Launcher and keep your fingers crossed.

And please let me know if your problem(s) were solved or not.

Thanks.

The quest pin locations for Vvardenfell, Summerset, Clockwork City, etc. and all maps, zones, and subzones implemented after Wrothgar are currently being added to the Quest Map locations tables.

In the interim, may I suggest you investigate the "Destinations" addon? It has been updated to Wolfhunter (4.1) release levels recently and its Change Log notes state that the enhancements include quest pin locations for Summerset (and perhaps Vvardenfell too?).

I've been using Destinations for a long time now and it does not have any map pins for Vvardenfell, Clockwork, or Summerset. Essentially both Quest Map and Destinations are lacking the same zones.

I just realized I misspoke. It doesn't have QUEST GIVER pins. It has everything else. Sorry for that misunderstanding.
