[ADDON] Quest Cinematic

Hi,

If someone here like reading quests and do not skip everything just to go fast and faster to 120 lvl… Maybe this addon will be something interesting for him:

Can’t put link so just google: Quest cinematic + wow curse

Best regards :slight_smile:

It’s a great addon, wish it played better with Immersion, and the “nod” would be configurable…

Just to put this in for the OP -

Now is perfect with Immersion and “nod” is no more :wink:

This seems more than a LUA addon?

Whee! And indeed, it does play nice with Immersion now. Thank you!

I’m still working on this addon and mostly I make update everyday. I’m also open for suggestions :slight_smile:
Now i’m working on simple config menu.

Nice addon. Thanks for the heads up. Gonna give it a try now

Nice for those who like that kind of thing :slight_smile:

I think there was another addon that did similar thing with quest text. I’ll have to drink more coffee before I manage to remember it.

Well in case of that addon you don’t only need to put it in your interface folder, but also replace some files which is illegal so while it looks fine, i won’t use it.

A bit of control over how it looks would be nice. :smile:
Right now I wouldn’t use it because it just doesn’t match the standard WoW UI at all, so it would break immersion for me personally.

This is the other one I was thinking of

That’s what I thought.

It’s ToS breaking and bannable if anyone uses it.

I think the same, but are we really only ones who noticed it?

Probably the only people who actually read the page on curse. Odd that curse would allow the OP to advertise it there.

I think some blue should respond here if it’s bannable until it’s too late and ban wave will come.

Anything that even reads the wow files is bannable. If it doesn’t go in the interface folder it’s bannable.

The OP’s ‘addon’ seems to have some kind of overlay and way to read quest text. That can’t be done with an addon.

Blue on a weekend. Yeah, that doesn’t happen.

Oooh i like that thanks for the tip :smile:

For those of you complaining that Quest Cinematic places files outside of Interfaces, and as such, is bannable: no it does not, and no, it is not. All of it goes into Interfaces\Addons, like any ordinary addon.

The curse page links to another file, which you can use to replaces files of another addon. You only need that if you use it together with Immersion, and it only replaces one file in there.

If you don’t use Immersion, there’s no need for the additional file.

In either case, all files are within Interface\Addons, like any regular addon.

Or perhaps you two are the only ones who misread the page on curse. :wink:

You can register an event for QUEST_GREETING, QUEST_DETAIL, QUEST_COMPLETE, QUEST_FINISHED, QUEST_TURNED_IN, etc. Within the scope of those events, you can use GetQuestText() to get the text of the quest. All of these are provided by the official WoW APIs. Same stuff are used by any addon that alters how quests are displayed, including Immersion. A lot of other addons (Dugi’s Guide, Capping, Plater, TomTom, FishingBuddy, etc) use the QUEST_* events without looking at the quest text (they mostly look at quest rewards, items, choices, etc).

In other words, this is not only doable with Blizzard APIs, there are plenty of existing addons making use of the very same functions, many of which have been around for at least a couple of expansions already.
