Well, i agree. For that point of view the addon is absolutely bad. Sometimes i stand 10 meters next to a wayshrine and prefer to fasttravel for gold anyway. In fact i prefer it all the time. So if someone cares about porting costs, he/she shouldnt use the addon. It's really tempting after a while. But the best feature for myself is the hotkey, which ports you back to the outside of the snowglobe house, and that's free! (if you dont own it, it sadly adds an additional loading screen... but everyone can deceide for himself if it's worth or not. For me it is. Because when you spawn, you dont even need to do one single step. You can immediately talk to Breda. I use this on NA as well, where i dont own the house.

Yes, the loacations are kinda hardcoded, not depending on quest steps. So leftclick on that quest is always davons watch, rightclick is always ebonheart (house or wayshrine, depends if you own it). I think it might be possible to make it dynamically on the progress of the quest, but i think the effort-benefit is not good on this.
And there are only 2 quests which would benefit (both have rightclick enabled):
The stonefall one, like you mentioned (leftclick -> do the 2 davons caverns -> rightclick -> do the 2 ebon cavers -> [NUM 6] (which is my port back hotkey),
and the eastmarch jumping one. For eastmarch, i do: leftclick to port to grymharths next to the first jump -> port back to snowglobe and run to the bridge -> rightclick to port to the voljar wayshrine next to the 3rd and last jump -> port back to snowglobe.

I will try it, but it seems running from the house is way more faaaaaar than from the wayshrine. But would be easy to make a new setting, where you can deceide for that specific quest, if you wanna port to the wayshrine or to the house, when clicking on it.

lol guess you got me. Already looking for the next possible event. The "not-really-necessary-up-to-pretty-much-useless-but-IF-it-fits-your-playstyle-you-will-never-miss-it-again" addon category seems to be the most fun to me


Seems nice, but where? Could maybe put a small label on the meadmug with a small pink numer, but not sure if it makes the addon-window too overloaded. Maybe on the right bottom is also some available space, but also not sure if it is "too much" and more confusing than anything else.
Also, if you get so much tickets that it would extend the maximum, it stops at any case (got great support from IsJustaGhost on this one, i guess my solution on this wouldn't be so smooth or possible at all without him, so thanks again at this point):

hm, i wasn't aware of that. I also use PerfectPixel ofc, but to extend the windows, like inventory fits the height of the screen (honestly, who thought it would be a good idea to leave 2/3 the height of the screen blank, and make a small box instead to scroll and scroll and scroll) and to make solid borders.
So to doublecheck, you mean making the background transparent and just have the floating text onscreen?


Btw, thx for the words... to be honest, I am always amazed when someone uses my add-ons, because they often only suit a certain play style/taste and mostly not the common one (but that is actually the main reason for them)

Thats in fact some very good ideas. But i think, the "Beam me up" thing will be bigger issue, so not sure if i get this during this event cycle. Or at all. But definitely worth having a deeper look into it.

For now i added another option, to choose to auto destroy the white junk. Or to just mark it as junk like currently or to do nothing at all. Noticed they didnt get sold with all the other junk.

I made a new setting which is like "Show an additional wayshrine-icon" which ports you to the wayshrine on click. However i dont like it too much, as i didn't found an original wayshrine-icon from zos, so i tried to make one on my own. But it doesn't fit very well the style of the house-icon next to it, and kinda looks like "i want, but i can't" (which is even correct in this case)

So i also made a new keybind to port to that shrine (see picture). Don't get used to the icon. The voices in my head have different opinions about it, but its possible the "Remove it!"-faction wins at any time.



Think this is the better solution for visual-pov:

NIce For the "port to outside", i think it just works if you own the house yourself. In this case the addon actually ports to the outside already. But if you dont own the house, porting to inside of another user-house is the only way which is possible. Not even porting to the "preview-version" works, because if you leave that, you are back to where you have been before.

(It's like eastmarch city and auridon and ebonheart, if you own the nearby houses, the addon ports there (to the outside), but if not it ports to the wayshrine. (BTW buy the ebonheart house if you havent already.... it's really nice, you basically spawn at a dance-location and it costs like 3k gold )



For the mousewheel click, it also was my first thought, because i also have weapon change on that already, lol. But it doesnt matter, because we also have "block" on rightclick and light attack on leftclick, but when we are in the addon window, it's a different scene and all the binds can be used for something else.



Still thinking about the shrine-quest. Maybe an auto-reject for auridon, because it's way more far than the others... or only accept glenumbra and reapers market, e.g. (+ leftclick porting which is currently still missing)...

That's the spirit! You have a new option in the addon menu: "Accept Bredas follow-up quest".


I actually thought about this. Had something like "Mouse 3 (press on mousewheel)" in mind. I had already implemented a house-icon on the topleft corner, which ports you to the snowglobe house. Maybe i add another icon next to it, a wayshrine which ports you to, obviously, to the wayshrine near Breda. But be aware, Fasttravel costs still gold. I dont care too much, but I like the combination of porting to the quest with Fasttravel, but return via snowglobe-home, as this costs nothing.


You have a new option in the addon menu: "Mark tracked quest". I made it yellow, because light-orange really looked...not so good. But feel free to have a look at https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_picker.asp and give me another one (like #FFFF00) if you dont like it.

had a couple sleepless nights and rewrote most of the functionality. Too bad it will be useless in a couple days


During the rewrite i also renamed the folder of the addon, realized too late, that Minion will not know this...


So if you get an Lua-Error at the start like "Object alreday exists", pls delete the folder in your addon-directory manually or try a complete deinstall and reinstall after that.

The old folder was named: aTim99_NewLifeFestival

The new folder is named: tim99_NewLifeFestival

I tried that, but then it ignored the "keybind". So you chose to hide the Window (because you finished them or running a dungeon), with added to the hud scene it always got visible again after each sceneChange.

E.g. hiding the window, going to inventory, closing the inventory and the window was visible again.
So i removed the fragment-thing and changed it back to "controlled by sceneChange".



Yes, i implemented some options of different "how to show the window".
You have these 4 slash-commands now:

Warning: Spoiler

Yours is now propably set to "keybind" (Default). You can change it back to the old behaviour with /tshow hudui (shows window automatically in cursor mode).
