The final stretch

So, another day, another heroic, and another achievement (or two).


In other news, version 2 of Loremaster is up. You can now get a list of quests to complete for your Loremaster achievements! Check it out, the link is on the right.

Loremaster (the easy one)

I ran out of time tonight, and the heroic was Oculus (no chance getting a group for that), so I had to go for a fallback that I was hoping to save - Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms.



The reason I ran out of time is quite interesting though - I was working on Loremaster (the addon). I want to be able to show a checklist of quests to complete but my coding ability is limited, so I wanted to piggyback on EveryQuest to do it. I have requested that the author add support but I'm not getting any joy, so I'm going to have to do something myself. I tried writing some code to show a similar window but realised I would need a lot more data than I currently am putting in to get that - I would basically be duplicating EveryQuest, something I wish to avoid. My next idea was to write a filter for EQ, but I realised that would still require the author to add it to his code.

However, I have a new idea. I am 90% sure it will work. If it does, there should be a new version of Loremaster in the next few days. Possibly after TAFTCITD is complete. Watch this space.

Jubilee for 3.3

The biggest improvement for me is the API addition that will enable people to see which quests they have done. This will update mods like the superb EveryQuest to only show incomplete quests, which in turn will make completing the Loremaster achievements that much easier. Hopefully Kandarz will also add Loremaster support to EveryQuest to make it even easier.

Also, loving the idea of the new dungeon system. So many good things there - not least that it should make it far easier to get groups for non-80 dungeons and raids for achievements.
