Ascension sometimes reuses a Blizzard questId for custom content whose
group/tag status differs from the original (e.g. 253 "Bride of the
Embalmer" is a real group quest here but zeroed by QuestTag.lua for
TBC+/WotLK clients). Once a quest is accepted, QuestieDB.GetQuestTagInfo
now checks the live questLog entry's questTag before falling back to
questTagCorrections and the static QuestTag.lua table. Compat.lua gains
QuestTagNameToId, a reverse lookup built from questTagToName.
SetDrawOrder only recognized a standalone "Magnify-WotLK" addon, but this
setup bundles Magnify inside LootCollector (no separate .toc), so the check
always failed and every icon got reparented onto WorldMapFrame -- outside
WorldMapScrollFrame's clipped subtree -- and strata-forced to WorldMapFrame
instead of WorldMapButton, regardless of HBD's earlier correct parenting.
Detect the bundled Magnify via the _G.LootCollectorMagnify global and match
WorldMapButton's strata instead, mirroring LootCollector's own pins. Fixes
icon culling on all 4 edges during both zoom and pan, in normal and
objective-panel map modes.
Personal private fork, so the upstream marketing README (badges,
Patreon/PayPal, docs links) isn't relevant here. Keep just the list
of local fixes and credit the fork chain: aron-w/Questie-X,
Xurkon/Questie-X, and the original Questie.
- Compat/HBD.lua: fix world map pin offset math to account for zoom addons
(e.g. Magnify) rescaling an ancestor frame instead of WorldMapButton itself;
cull pins that fall outside the scroll frame's viewport when zoomed
- Compat/Compat.lua: add a short TTL to the chat-parsed objective progress
cache so a stale entry can't be reapplied to an unrelated quest
- Modules/QuestieLearner.lua: re-point QuestiePlayer.currentQuestlog at the
rebuilt quest table after invalidating QuestieDB's quest cache, fixing
Tracker freezing on stale objective progress
- Modules/Tracker/QuestieTracker.lua: fall back to a formatted quest name
when QuestieDB has no title for a quest (e.g. custom server quests)
- Modules/Tracker/TrackerBaseFrame.lua: force baseFrame movability on drag
start instead of trusting the async-refreshed IsMovable() state
- Modules/Tracker/TrackerHeaderFrame.lua: wire up drag on the tracker icon
- Modules/Quest/QuestEventHandler.lua: force a full quest log reconciliation
when the native quest log is opened
Squashed from prior commit-by-commit history to rebuild this working copy
on a clean fork of aron-w/Questie-X (restores the native GitHub fork link).
Per-fix rationale is preserved in project memory
(project_tracker_fixes.md, project_map_icon_offset.md).
Add a locale-keyed cache for no-argument translation lookups so repeated
literal keys resolve without redoing the lookup chain. Reset on locale change
and on locale override application.
Ported from phase3-measured-perf (cherry-pick -x 970dd88), adapted to current
main (hoisted the per-locale cache-table creation; excludes the branch's audit
doc and gitignored test).
The 1.6.4 changelog described an earlier SyncBlizzardObjectivePOIs helper that
was superseded by the per-quest duplicate-POI suppression in QuestieCompat
(commit 70a9934). Update both CHANGELOG.md and the HTML changelog to describe
the actual shipped behavior.
Update the 1.6.4 entry to reflect the consolidated main: add the Lua 5.0
compatibility items (modulo->math.mod, Options {...} typo) and the native
objective POI sync, prestige cache reset, and quest completion cache fixes.
Fix the stale perf-refactor note that referenced the now-removed
phase2-lua50-sweep branch; remaining measured perf work is on
phase3-measured-perf and being cherry-picked one at a time. Mirror into the
HTML changelog and bump its version badge to v1.6.4.
QuestieOptions.tabs.{auto,dbm,icons,nameplate} were initialized with {...}
instead of {}. At file scope in Lua 5.1 this silently captures the addon
varargs into the table; in Lua 5.0 it is a parse error. All sibling tabs use
{}. No behavioral change (Initialize repopulates the table).
Lua 5.0 (Vanilla 1.12) has no % operator outside string formatting; it is a
parse error. Route the 9 arithmetic modulo sites through the existing math.mod
shim (Compat/Compat.lua) so the addon parses on 5.0 through Retail.
Sites: QuestieDB daily/weekly flag tests, QuestieEvent DMF cycle math,
QuestieLearner GUID/flag math, QuestiePlayer race/class flag tests.
Brings the still-needed changes from questie-phase1perf that main lacked.
Main already had the Lua 5.0 shims (QuestieLoader bit/strsplit, QuestieStream
and QuestieSerializer math.mod sweep), so those are omitted.
- QuestieNameplate: skip missing entries instead of return-aborting the whole
activeGUIDs loop (one bad unit no longer stalls every nameplate update)
- QuestieQuest.ClearAllNotes: skip DB-missing quests instead of aborting, so
remaining quests' notes still get cleared
- QuestieOptionsTracker: fix fadeTickerValue:Cancel -> fadeTicker:Cancel (3x);
fadeTickerValue is a number, the ticker handle is fadeTicker
- QuestieCommsData: nil-guard GetNPC/GetObject before reading .name
- QuestieAnnounce: bound the alreadySentBandaid dedup cache (reset at 1000)
- QuestieDB.IsComplete: hoist GetQuest into expectedQuest (one call, not two)
- QuestieFramePool/QuestieFrame: drop the dead BaseOnUpdate ticker branch
(BaseOnUpdate was never defined; behavior was always OnUpdate=nil)
- QuestieLib: document unused questId arg on Ascension_IsScalingEnabled
- Database/Corrections x3: strip stray UTF-8 BOM
- Questie-X.toc: remove duplicate QuestieSlash.lua load line
Uncredited kills (mobs other players killed that you never engaged)
passed px,py=nil to LearnNPC, whose GetPlayerCoords fallback stored YOUR
position as the mob's spawn and incremented the kill count. Gate spawn
recording (LearnNPC + _StoreGuidSpawnEvidence) on a captured position, so
only credited kills with a real position store a spawn. Bystander kills
no longer pollute coordinates or inflate counts.
ShowQuestIcons/HideQuestIcons indexed icon (=_G[frameName]) when it can
be nil for a registry entry whose frame was already reset, crashing the
fade pass (attempt to index local 'icon'). Guard icon/icon.data/
icon.data.QuestData and skip stale frames; ShowQuestIcons no longer
error()s on the desync.
The dedupe helper was a local function defined after
AddUnitDataToTooltip, so that function resolved it as a nil global and
every unit tooltip errored (attempt to call global '_TooltipHasLeftLine').
Moved it above all Add*DataToTooltip functions.
Expose QuestieLearner:GetIdAndTypeFromGUID / GetObjectIdFromGUID /
GetNpcIdFromGUID (they handle modern dash GUIDs AND legacy 0x hex /
GameObject GUIDs). Tooltips now fall back to these when strsplit('-',guid)
can't parse the GUID, so NPC IDs no longer silently fail to write on
hex-GUID units; the Object ID line resolves from the object's GUID when
its name isn't in the lookup. IDs deduped per tooltip.
The ID lines were gated by lastItemId/lastGuid (only added when the
hovered item/unit changed). WoW clears and re-fires OnTooltipSetItem/
OnTooltipSetUnit for the same item/unit and rebuilds the tooltip, so the
gate skipped re-adding the line on the rebuilt tooltip and the ID
disappeared. Add the ID line on every render instead, deduped per
tooltip via _TooltipHasLeftLine so it shows exactly once.
- Critters are never quest-relevant. Added a static CRITTER_NPC_SET (common
classic critters) plus runtime detection via UnitCreatureType on
mouseover/target (covers Ascension custom critters). LearnNPC and the kill
handler skip critters; InjectLearnedData purges already-recorded ones; and
critters are purged on sight when a unit token is available.
- Object/NPC spawns mis-stored under Eversong parent areaId 3430 (e.g. object
180516 'Shrine of Dath'Remar' on Sunstrider) now migrate to uiMapId 1241,
along with the [9]/[5] home-zone field. Legit Eversong data is keyed 1941,
so any 3430 key is mis-stored Sunstrider data.
Verified in Tests/QuestieLearnerCritterPurge_spec.lua.
Two bugs made saved learner spawns collapse to one pin on every login:
1. The spawn zone-key migration was inverted: it ran
GetAreaIdByUiMapId(1241) -> Eversong parent areaId 3430 and moved
Sunstrider coords there (wrong map / NE corner), deduping distinct
coords via InsertIfNewBucket along the way. Now it converts only
legacy areaId keys FORWARD to the canonical uiMapId and leaves uiMapId
keys untouched. Same for the [9]/[5] home-zone fields.
2. Sanitize de-duplicated coords with the flat COORD_GRID (2.0) instead
of the per-zone grid, collapsing Sunstrider's tightly-packed spawns
(grid 0.5). Now uses GetCoordGridForZone(zoneId).
Both rewrote learned.npcs in place, persisting the damage to
SavedVariables. Regression test in QuestieLearnerMultiSpawn_spec.lua.
A prior change (dd630fd) kept clustering enabled on Sunstrider Isle in
learner mode to avoid pin fan-out, but that collapsed several distinct
learned coordinates (e.g. 7 Arcane Wraith spots) into a single pin --
breaking the DB-building workflow where every learned spawn must be
visible. The SavedVariables data was correct the whole time; this was a
display regression. Sunstrider (1241) now shows every distinct pin by
default in all data-source modes; consolidation only happens when the
player explicitly raises the Dense Pin Clustering Aggressiveness knob.
