House of Winters - Quest Journal  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 1.2.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- House of Winters - Quest Journal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NB!!! The latest patch introduced a bug regarding the SavedVars file.
Read more about it here: http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1843


The Quest Journal lets you keep track of your quests as you journey across
Tamriel.

Please note that the Quest Journal does not know about quests completed before
you installed this addon. You can however manually update which quests you have
completed or if you have previously installed the Esohead addon and kept it
running, you can import the quest data gathered by the Esohead addon to your
Quest Journal.

Instructions on how to perform the import can be found in the Change Log.

Suggestions and feedback are most welcome!

Best regards,
Kentarii

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Renamed zone "Stros M'kai" to "Stros M'Kai".
* Added import functionality to read data from Esohead.lua saved vars datafile.
IMPORT-HOW-TO:
1. This functionality requires that you installed the Esohead addon.
2. Verify the existence of Esohead.lua, usually in a folder similar to this:
C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\liveeu\SavedVariables\
3. CLOSE THE GAME AND MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SAVEDVARIABLES DIRECTORY!!!
3a. Why do I need to close the game?
- Because I told you to!
Main reason is that SavedVariables are only persisted when you do a
logout, reloadui or exit the game.
3b. Why do I need to make a backup?
- Again.. because I told you to!
4. Did you really make a backup? Don't come crying to me if you didn't!
5. Start the game as usual, log in to your main character.
6. To parse the Esohead.lua file and get a preview, please run: /qj import
7. The Quest Journal window will now list all the quests it found in the
Esohead.lua file. Already tracked quests will be marked with their
respective colors and will NOT be imported again. Only quests in white
will be imported. The bottom line lists some numbers.
8. To perform the import, run: /qj import-esohead
9. To go back to the normal Quest Journal window, run: /qj show
Note 1! The quest "One of the Undaunted" will be falsely imported for all beginner
zones.
Note 2! Any quest you have done on an alt character will also be imported.
Esohead.lua does not distinguish between characters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.0.1 (2014-05-12)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Commented out auto-switch to quest info on add/complete.
* Added various settings to the settings menu.
* Added Betnikh zone along with 9 quests.
* Added public/group dungeon quests for all zones.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.0.0 (2014-05-11)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Quest Journal was separated from the HoWUI addon to make it more obvious what
the addon is about and make it more visible when searching on esoui.com

If only it were that easy.. unless you know of some source with the french/german quest names, then it's not really possible
I'm playing in french. Maybe I could try to find on the net a list of all quest names in french. Would that help you?

Thanks for the feedback, I'll fix those issues in next release.

Also, can you make it so that the journal window auto-scrolls down to the first Incomplete quest, or even better, provide an option to only show Incomplete quests?
Maybe make it a little toggle on the window itself -
[Show All / Completed / Incomplete (Active+Undiscovered) / Active Only / Undiscovered Only]?

Again, thanks so much for your hard work here!
Hey,

Thanks for the feedback!

You know about map filters right? You can select which type of pins to show when you open up the map and click on the filters tab.
On the addons settings page, you can select to scale down the pin size as well.

For the Journal window, you can click on the various numbers to select what is shown.
Please see screenshots for basic usage.

Regarding coloring of icons.. we'll see.. they're colored so that people don't confuse them with the "real" game quest icons.

Quest map pins!!!

First, a big thank you for Garkin for making this happen!

Now you can see where you have been in the world and done quests.
The markers will show you were you first picked up the quest and not all the goals and where you delivered the quest like esohead does. That would just be too messy IMO.

To be able to get quest markers for new/unknown quests, I would have to gather the data from people who have completed zones with my addon active.
That however will be a lengthy process with a lot of manual labour... so not sure I will ever do that.

I'll look into adding this in a future release.

This zone has been added in 1.0.5 release.

Thanks for the feedback
