CowQuests 1.0 - HB2 questing profiles maker/helper

Hi,

Since HB needs questing profiles now, I coded a tool that scans wowhead, filters results and saves them in a dummy xml profile.

This is not an HB plugin but a standalone .exe written in C#. Source code is available.

What it does:
- Finds quests by zones
- Finds quest givers by zones to blacklist them
- Filters quests and NPCs
- Automaticaly hides blacklisted quests from http://blacklist.honorbuddy.net/list.php
- Quest/NPC info: doubleclick a row to open wowhead's related page
- Generate an empty questing profile that contains "forced quest" and blacklisted quest givers

Small explanation:
"recommended level" is the quest difficulty whereas "min level" is the level at which you can get the quest
test.xml is a profile sample, you dont need it to run the app.



If it helps you writing questing profiles, I'll be glad to improve it.

Consider it as open source and under WTFPL; so if anyone wants to fix something, improve it or make something new with this, you can.

 

Wow this looks awesome. Thanks! Now if only Cowstats worked....

 

At a glance this seems great I'll give it a whirl when i finish work. Keep up the good work cowdude.

 

Awesome work bud i'll try it out.

 

Quick question about the zoneID, where do we get this info from to start with ? I am at work behind a firewall and it won't run, just need to be armed with some info before I go home and play with it.

Wow. I'm definitely going to be trying this bad boy out tomorrow

 

I also have no idea how to get the zone ID lol

 

http://www.wowhead.com/zone=45

Look up zone on wowhead, find id.

 

http://www.wowhead.com/quest=11472

zone 495, cowstats doesn't pick it, even when ticking dailies, aliance and horde, wowhead shows 230 quests for the area, cowstats shows 213 and showing 208 valid entries.

 

Amazing util cowdude!! Thanks man

 

Testing it out :=)

 

Really great tool. But it would be nice if you cound add the function that you can select two zones at ones

 

Wow, great work!

 

Awesome Tool man, keep it up

 

Heh, great minds think alike, this is really similar to my web tool

 

Awesum mate, things to add

Quests - Is it a group quest? - tickable box to get group quests or not ( you could be 80 and able to solo them )
Select All Function - so you can select all the quests with a click of a button.
Quest names - Links to wow head so you can view the quest for your self.

WoW! Just wow!!
Thanks for the contribution!!

 

Select all/none buttons are already there. Thank you for your ideas.

 

Something like a "Blacklist" importer would be nice : ) So we can put in the actual blacklist like: http://blacklist.honorbuddy.net/list.php

and your tool automatically "unticks" all quests listed in the "QuestBlacklist"^^ You know what i mean?

Let me know if you implement it.

EDIT: Also Options to disable PvP and Dungeon Quests!^^

 

Add an option to also blacklist the questgiver that hands out the quest, and i'll have your babies! Thanks for your contribution

edit: also, if its possible to add a comment field with the quest description that pops up when you mousover a quest on wowhead, it would speed up the process of deciding which quests to include or not by alot
