QuestHelper-3.3.5.zip
About QuestHelper
Questhelper tells you how to finish your quests in the easiest, fastest manner. It includes a database of quests, monsters, and items, telling you the exact location of that dang Perfect Satyr Horn you can’t find. It also computes the fastest path to complete all your quests – and gain experience – as quickly as possible.
Usage
For the most part, you just install it and leave it alone. It should hopefully be smart enough to do The Right Thing, and not require you to meddle with it.
The task QuestHelper thinks you should do first is displayed on your minimap, which you can mouse over for a description. If the task isn’t in your current zone, then it will point towards where QuestHelper thinks you should go to get there, such as a flight master or the zone border.
World Map
All the tasks QuestHelper wants you to do are displayed on the World Map. There are ‘marching ants’ connecting the objectives, showing you the order QuestHelper thinks you should complete them in.
You can right click on an objective to get a list of options for it.
You can right click anywhere on a menu to hide it, or select the Close Menu command from the end of the menu.
Priorities
There are 5 different priority levels an objective can have: “Highest, High, Normal, Low,” and “Lowest”.
Most objectives default to “Normal”. Objectives for timed quests default to “High”. User created objectives default to “Highest”. QuestHelper will try to arrange the objectives so that higher priority objectives get done first.
You can use priorities as hints to get the objectives in an order you’d prefer, without the need to micro-manage the route list.
You can force QuestHelper to show an objective that otherwise would have been filtered by typing ##/qh hidden## and selecting “Show” from its entry in the menu.
Recount-3.3.5.zip
Recount is a graphical damage meter written by Cryect. Recount (Preservation) is an attempt to preserve it through the 2.4 patch and fix up some minor things along the way. If Cryect returns the project really should be wholely his and he can keep or abandon any changes I’ve made here.
FAQ:
Q: I don’t see Recount after installing, what to do?
A: /recount show, then /recount resetpos. If this doesn’t help delete all (there are more than one) Recount.lua files in your WTF directory.
Q: I don’t see details when I click the recount bar, how to fix?
A: /recount resetpos
Q: I don’t see my pets, totems, gargoyles, guardians, Why?
A: Check the config window (cogwheel icon, or /recount config) and uncheck “merge pets w/ owners” to see details about pets, totems or any entity that is treated as pet or guardian.
Q: Can you add effective heals to Recount?
A: Everything that Recount displays as healing is what other addons call “effective healing”. I.e. numbers that you see displayed as healing never contain the overhealing component.
Q: I have a question about DPS…
A: DPS is a poor measure, don’t expect extensive discussion on the topics. You will find it already at numerous places. I only fix bugs regarding recording data, but don’t plan to ever touch the DPS formula otherwise.
Q: I have asked a question before and got no answer. I demand an answer!
A: I cannot answer everything, I answer per time, capacity and ease to answer. I take everything I read into consideration but don’t expect that everything can get an answer.
