Joviex's Tweaks for Wykkyd's Quest Tools Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 14.07.03.1

by: Joviex [More]

A working area/patch of extension ideas for Wykkyd's excellent mhQuestTools.

Code Repository is hosted on BitBucket

Up to parity with version 1.4.21.1 of the main addon
*** NOTE ***
Because mhFrameWork is no longer maintained, you will need to use "Allow out of date addons" check box so the dependency will load.

My versioning now deviates from the Wykkyd version numbering, matching the versioning I use in all addon work I do.

I use the "date" 14.4.30.1 (Apirl 30th, 2014, build 1) to indicate the version and publication date.

BUILT-IN / PICKED UP FEATURES

Settings menu option for a keybind to turn on/off the quest tracker
Set the mouse out transparency value of the quest tracker window for as much immersion as you like
Set the window background color

EXTENDED FEATURES

Exposed font, size and style controls for the Zone, Quest title and Quest body text
Custom Quest Colorization toggle -- use the ESO default colors or pick your own
Optional toggle quest sorting by level
Window is fully interactive when the settings panel is active
Toggle option since this feature can affect other mhFrameWork addons
Highly experimental Distance to Quest feature
has toggle in main settings panel
only shows the zone quest distance if selected from the global map
only shows distance to "center" of the starting quest in the quest line

Custom Quest Colorization Levels

V. Easy = -4 levels below the Current Character Level
Easy = -2 levels below the Current Character Level
Normal = Character Level
Difficult = +2 levels below the Current Character Level
V. Hard = +4 levels over the Current Character Level

TODO

Expose the level ranges for absolute custom control over quest level coloring
Rollovers for quest flavor text
Display shared quests (when everyone in group has the same quest -- dependant on "sharing being off"

KNOWN ISSUES

Waiting for someone to tell me =)

14.07.03.1

API Updated to ESO API 100007
Because mhFrameWork is no longer maintained, you will need to use "Allow out of date addons" check box so the dependency will load.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.5.23.1

API Updated to ESO API 100004

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.4.30.1

User definable quest level + and - range for V easy/Easy and Difficult/Hard
Removed redundant "defaults"
Version number now aligned with "date" versioning; good enough for 85 more years

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.21.1

Minor quest distance upgrade, still wonky because of a lack of ability to get the sub-quest POIs
Version number update and matching framework caveat for Wykkyd's 1.4.21.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.17.1b

* Actually make quest distance toggle (was remaining on once set -- doh!)
* Remove debug printing from console

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.17.1

* Merged 1.4.17.1
* Highly experimental Distance to Quest feature
** has toggle in main settings panel
** only shows the zone quest distance if selected from the global map
** only shows distance to "center" of the starting quest in the quest line

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.16.1

* Merged 1.4.16.1
* Some wonky behavior if you turn the entire system off. The panel wont re-appear
* The LibMenu support is also seemingly broken -- if you use the mh* support
the color pickers throw errors.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.15.1

Merged with 1.4.15.1 Main Wykkyd's Quest Tracker

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.14.2c

Crash fix and prelim compatibility check for Wykkyd's Framework 1.4.14.1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.14.2b

Pseudo rollback on the changes in the main branch to fix typos and save variables
Still contains UISettings menu override
**NEW Has a toggle to completely disengage Joviex's Tweaks (toggle)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.14.2

NOTE THIS COULD BE A "BAD" IDEA.

Currently the framework for the windows mhFramework, does not allow for per frame overrides for this type (allowance to NOT close when settings panel is open).

Or at least, I can not find how Bazgrim's is working contrary to how all other WF_Frames work i.e. hiding when Settings is open.

SO, I basically overrode the core event and no windows using the mhFramework will hide when settings are up, which could affect other addons using said mhFramework.

Although, I admit, it is pretty awesome to tweak the quest window and see those changes immediately reflected.

Use with caution if using other mhFramework addons.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.12.1

*BUG* Repaired starting the system from a zero previous save(s)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.4.10.4

Patch file version now in lockstep with the current "main line" version it supports
Toggle for "Joviex's Tweaks" -- if off, will use the original colors, fonts, sizes and spacings
Defaults now mirror the original -- all quests levels and fonts match the original panel setup
Sort quests by level no longer requires a /reloadui
Addition of tracker drag bar colorization option -- if you set the alpha to 0 it will effectively "hide" the bar

*FIXES*

Frame width would cause an error if the window was not initialized

*KNOWN ISSUES*

When resizing fonts or the tracker itself, the collapsible groups have a redraw issue -- you just need to open and close (or close and open) the group to refresh the text

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1.1.0

Was missing the sorting code after the merge

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1.0.0

* Merged with 1.4.8.1 changes
* Added ordering option for quests
The normal way is "as they are found" OR you can now order them by Level
* Extracted the majority of the UI updating for cleaner merges on main branches changes in the future
* Frame window can now be resized
* First pass attempt at adapting as many changes into the frame window without a /reloadui required

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0.1.0

Reduced the color clutter -- almost TOO much choice.

Quest colorization can now be the default (Override Quest Level Color set to OFF) OR can be overridden with a unique color.

Color levels are:

V. Easy = -4 levels below the Current Character Level
Easy = -2 levels below the Current Character Level
Normal = Character Level
Difficult = +2 levels below the Current Character Level
V. Hard = +4 levels over the Current Character Level

The fonts are more clearly labelled and expanded.

Zone: The ZONE header
Quest Title: The QUEST title header
Objective: The body text of the quest

Eleventeen Forum posts: 16 File comments: 122 Uploads: 0	Yea by that addon, i meant wykkyds. And just tried it.. Ugh, can't get it lookt nice at all. Can't even get it to look like your screenshot. The options are rather strange. There is a "mouse exit opacity".. And you'd think that would just affect the frames opacity, like allthe rest of hte ui.. But no, that affects the text too. I don't want a obvious frame, so I set it to 0.. Whole thing disappears. Set it to 100 - hard black, with font overflowing outside of the frame, very ugly. Set it to the default 30, and the text is too transparent to be readable. Set lower font size, no real change, still overflows at very small font settings. Tried the color select opacity thing? Doesn't work at all. Also the difficulty colors don't work. Setting "hard" to purple, just set the quest group title to purple, everything else remains orange, regardless of its level. So yea I like this, but just looks too ugly. So if you can get it look like the default tracker, multiquesttracker, or just better in general Id use it. Will have to suffer thru MQTs bugs for now.

Hi! Would it be hard to add a line break to the addon? Kinda annoying when the objetive text or the hints countinues outside the background. :/

Joviex Forum posts: 42 File comments: 110 Uploads: 3	WOW, didnt realize it would get posted and get so many replies lol. This was absolutely a "I am using it" thing and I just wanted to share it in case someone else wanted to play around. I can definitely tweak this further however seeing there is some interest. Ideally I would love the changes to get incorporated to the awesome original =) I did minimize the "opacity" option a bit. I was also using MQT and loved the tweakable nature, but it was buggy and the author was not responding, AND, this one had the other features I wanted to include like collapsible quests, quest level, etc... SO here is a breakdown of what I did with the options: Title (font, style, size, color) all affect the +/- header text. I will probablly change that to ZONE since those are the world ZONE(s) the quests are. Perhaps break them out into their own ? settings? The settings above (style, size, font) also affect the actual Quest Entry i.e. [XX] Quest Name but NOT it's color, that is driven by the difficulty colors. The objective entry affects the "flavor" text beneath i.e. quest objective text. The "Background" entry uses the color selected as the "background color" of the frame holding all the text. The "ALPHA" entry on that color picker controls how much said color is faded in/out. The Mouseout Alpha determines how opaque the entire window is when the mouse exits the frame. IOW, if you want it to be 100% visible at all times, set this to 100. If you want it to disappear when you move the mouse away from the frame, set it to 0. The Quest levels (worthless, easy, normal and hard) are all tied to the (currently) hardcoded numbers of: -5 under level == Worthless -3 under level == Easy on level == Normal +3 == Hard The reason you dont see them "update" I think because I never hooked the "level changed" event to refresh the window <-- definately will add this As for the text running past the size of the window, yes, I agree, totally annoying. Problem is, the text can be scaled to a wacky size, and the "control" doesnt seem to have an auto-wrap feature. I am sure it is in there someplace, just haven't dug for it <-- will look for this too, since I have a few that run off the frame. I will clean up the wording and hint text on these as well. Glad to see ppl want it, I certainly did =)

No problem.

Set the mouse out alpha to 100 and set the background color to 0, 0, 0, 255

The 255 in the color is for the transparency of the black background.

The mouse out alpha is how opaque the entire window will be when the mouse exits the frame.

The above will make a solid black background that no longer fades when the mouse is not over the tracker i.e. permanent window.

Joviex Forum posts: 42 File comments: 110 Uploads: 3	Updated the patch. Hopefully a little more clear. I was unable to fix the text running off the frame (*yet) but at least you no longer are required to "reload" after some changes. I also regrouped how the quest level colorization happens, and provided an "toggle" to use the built in default level colorization or your own overrides. Keep the ideas and bugs commin. Cheers.
