QuestSkipper Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.4.0

by: helixanon [More]

If you ever spammed E through the countless dialogues just to get that quest XP, here's an addon that does it for you automatically.
1) Accepts and turns in the quests
2) Talks to the NPCs, choosing all previously not chosen phrases. By default, stops upon seeing an important choice (in red text).
3) Reads books without showing the book UI, closing it instantly
4) Trains the riding skills in the stable in the specified order

Configuration:
1) Hotkey in Controls that enables/disables the dialogue skip functionality.
2) Settings panel:

Skip dialogues
Skip important choices
Skip books
Skip stable training
Riding skills order

The settings are different per character.

Dependencies:
LibAddonMenu

Known issues:

After the stables training, it's impossible to open the ESC menu. It can be solved by talking to any NPC again (you'll see that the "Talk" interaction text is gray before talking to them).
Reading the HM scroll in the dungeons twice will exit the dialogue because the "Activate HM" option has already been chosen. For now the solution is to toggle "Skip Dialogues" OFF.

v1.4.0
----------
* Refactored the addon. Now it will only choose the actual "talk" options, exiting immediately in only one case - all options are "talk" options and have been previously chosen. If there's at least one non-talk option, it will stop and not exit the dialogue. This solves the issue of closing the dialogue window for new types of CHATTER_*.

v1.3.0
-----------
* Skipping important choices even if "Skip important choices" is OFF, BUT there's only 1 option available to choose anyway (it does happen sometimes)
* Auto-choose options to pay money (e.g. bribe) and bounty
* Code comments

v1.2.0
-----------
* Added an option to skip book reading (credits to Garkin and his "No, thank you!")
* Added tooltips to some options
* Refactored the code a bit

v1.1.0
-----------
Not a moment too soon!

* Added an option to auto-pick important choices (in red text). By default it's OFF, thus the addon will stop upon seeing a red-text phrase.
* No longer skipping merchant/banker/guild store convos

v1
-----------
Fix Minion install

v0.4.1
-----------
Fixed always skipping dialogues

0.4
-----------
Added settings panel with two checkboxes: "Skip dialogues" and "Skip stable training", the latter working independently from the former. LibAddonMenu dependency.

v0.3
-----------
Added a hotkey to enable/disable the addon functionality

v0.2
-----------
Fix stable functionality not working due to commented out condition

v0.1
-----------
Fixed lua interpretation error

How can this add-on be modified so that the next quest in line will be automatically accepted after the current quest is completed?

Hey, from my personal experience the addon behaves exactly as you described (the next quest is accepted right after turning in the previous one). Could you please specify which quest/NPC you mean so I could take a look?

Thanks!

Indeed, sometimes the game doesn't mark previously chosen dialogue options as such, it looks like it was the case with you.

Things you could try:
1) Bind a hotkey in Controls - Quest Skipper section so that if you get into such a loop, you can stop the addon temporarily
2) Pressing Esc should've worked as well - it would quit the dialogue immediately

As for the improvements on the addon's side, I think I can add a safety measure for specific cases like this, there are two ways:
1) Amount of chosen options throughout 1 dialogue (thus, if the addon had to skip more than, say, 50 replicas in 1 dialogue, then odds are that something went wrong, so stop).
2) Improve "previously chosen" logic and not rely solely on the game's information - also keep track of the actual text of the dialogue options. Thus if it's marked as not chosen, but the addon "remembers" choosing an option with this exact text, it will not choose it again.

Following the zone story line, never got out of the first town, was going to take the quest leading me out of town to the next leg. The name for the quest was "The Green Lady", tried to pick it up, and the addon got stuck in an endless loop and I couldn't find a way to get it to stop, so Alt-F4 as my only way out. The addon was cycling throught the text options of the quest, but it didn't seem to be graying anything out so it just kept repeating endlessly. Not sure if this was something with the quest, the addon, the game, or an unidentified third party. If it happens again I'll try to get more info to help you figure out the why. LOVE this addon, thanks for making it !!!!!!!!

I don't understand why there isn't more development put into addons such as this that just make questing and obtaining skill lines/points on your 6+ alts less time consuming. It seems like people who play this game and develop addons are resistant to the idea.

1st: You need time to do so and ofen the time needed to create such addons, where API is missing and you need to manually maintain stuff or are dependent on the users collecting multi language data to make it work -> Endless stories
2nd: Most of these skip stuff can be handled by just spamming the key 111111 or similar
3rd: There already exist addons which prevent stuff and ease the playing with toons/alts. Asking for "more ike this" does not help, you need to ask for and explain your use case, and then you might get answers or new addons. But waiting for someone to develop something for you, that you got in your mind, is .. well: Mind reading was nothing we learned as we learned addon development

I don't understand why there isn't more development put into addons such as this that just make questing and obtaining skill lines/points on your 6+ alts less time consuming. It seems like people who play this game and develop addons are resistant to the idea. This isn't a perfect solution, because some quests have "skip" dialogue options such as the Main Quest Hollowed City tour that isn't actually the first dialogue option, but goddamn is this useful for everything else. It's fortunate that dialogue options such as Persuade and Intimidate are placed as the first option, because they typically provide a benefit by making things more convenient or lowering the requirements for a quest. I don't know if it's possible in the API, but this addon could only be more perfect if it halted on the red consequential dialogue options, thus allowing us to select the correct one, such as the Hollowed City tour skip. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:The_Hollow_City_(quest) Last edited by ElderPenut : 05/01/22 at 07:07 AM.

if someone still struggles with this:

insert this between line 76 and 77:

Code:

    for i = 1, optionCount do
        local _, optionType = GetChatterOption(i)
        if (optionType == CHATTER_START_SHOP) or (optionType == CHATTER_START_BANK) then
            return
        end
    end

Just updated the addon with a toggle hotkey, found in Controls.
