  • 0. Sexymap and the Quest Tracker - Detailed Fix   04/20/2009 10:00:58 AM PDT
quote reply
I use Sexymap. I love Sexymap. It's just...well...sexy.

That being said, I have had some issues with Quest Tracking since the patch. I have my minimap on the bottom of my screen.
By default, it's attached to the bottom of the map, effectively putting it off the screen and giving that error we have
been experiencing related to "Your tracking log is full....". The truth of the matter is it wasn't full, just off the screen.
This is due to Blizzard adding some nice enhancements to the default UI in regards
to tracking, i.e., it's own window.

I've researched and here is the fix to get things back to normal. I did not discover these myself, this process is a conglomeration
of several posts that have resulted in a fix to this error message and the ability to once again track quests while using
sexymap.

1. Unlock sexymap and move it to the center of your screen temporarily.

2. Open your quest screen (default is "L") and shift click a quest that can be tracked.

2a. If the quest popped up, go to 3

2b. If the quest did not pop up, make the following macro and execute it:

/script WatchFrame:SetHeight(400)
/script WatchFrame:SetWidth(300)
/script WatchFrame_ClearDisplay()
/script WatchFrame_Update(WatchFrame)

Now shift-click the quest that can be tracked again and you should see it pop up, attached to the minimap.

3. Hit ESC and open your Interface options menu. In the left pane, highlight "Objectives".

3a. In the right pane click on the box next to "Advanced Objectives Tracking". Leave "Disable Mouseover" unchecked.

4. Now when you mouseover the quest tracker it will be a movable box. Right-click the top and select "Unlock Window".

5. Move the box to where you want the quest objectives to be. You can resize the box by clicking on a corner and resizing it.

6. When it's done, right-click the heading of the box and select "Lock Window".

7. Hit ESC and open your Interface options menu. In the left pane, highlight "Objectives".

8. Place a checkmark next to "Disable Mouseover"

9. Move Sexymap back to it's original position (the quest tracker is no longer attached to it)

10. Lock Sexymap and enjoy your time in the World of Warcraft.

I still find that having an option to adjust the size of the text and icon would have been more useful. Blizz takes a fairly nice feature then bloats the size of it to make it less desirable. I'll stick with questsfu/ ihml for the time being.

Look it's Steil! Kill him first.

Thank you so much. ;_____;

I almost had to choose between functional quest tracking and shiny UI mods.

Is the vehicle window similar? I found since I installed Sexymap and moved the map to the bottom, I can't see my vehicle or objectives (% capped on a tower, for example) frames.

NM: more testing and yes, the % capped and vehicle frames appear tied to the bottom of the map. So ya, unless Sexymap adds in movers for those, putting Sexymap on the bottom of the screen could be a big problem.

Agreed. I honestly spent 30 mins doing all the standard disable/enable/clear WTF/ etc... except not really clearing the WTF.... cause I have so many custom settings I can't bear the thought of redoing my whole UI. I love you <3

BTW, for me, the macro was all that was neccessary to fix it... moving the minimap had never fixed it before, so logging in, leaving my minimap at the bottom of my screen, and running the macro made it pop up :-D

I'll see if I can get the various movers fixed up. I confess I don't use them that much, so SexyMap has suffered from an "out of sight, out of mind" problem here. :)

I'm having this quest/achievement tracker problem and I don't have SexyMap. Is there any other fixes for it?

I have tried completely resetting my UI and everything.
