I often have trouble trying to find that little white arrow in the visual overload of colors, explosions, aoe effects, UI, etc. This is an attempt to make those quest markers much more obvious. This currently changes the floating in-world icons, compass icons, and map icons.

Options

Show the in-world CQM icons and show the default icons on the compass and maps.
Resize the in-world icons anywhere between 32x32 to 96x96.
Color options. Aqua, blue, fuchsia, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, teal, vanilla, and yellow.
** Changes to the compass and map icons will only happen after reloading the game. Changes to the in-world icons (theme or size) will happen immediately.

1.0 2019-02-18: Initial release.

I did my own personal modification with different colors for each category to try it out in-game (replacing one of your packs in the process) and it did a lot to improve the usefulness of your addon.

I have reinstalled the previous version.

I won't be able to address that directly because it isn't from this mod. It is the result of a change ZOS made to something. I was able to see the proper icon after I changed it and reloaded the UI. I will discuss it but I'm not sure there is a way to address that just yet.

Had the same issue regardless the icon I chose... Solved by closing and restarting the game.

I am having the same issue - no option to change it in the addon settings either. The only two options are "Show on Compass and Map" and "Marker Size".

Here's the error text I get in game:
"[LAM2] Could not create iconpicker 'Icon Theme' of ConspicuousQuestMarkers."

I just have one request if possible. I love using the fuchsia theme, however the dark blue quest markers it adds to the map are super dark and hard to see (Specifically I was doing quest in a public dungeon). Would it be possible to lighten the blue color just a little. Thanks.

Planemeld of Old-Skool and New-Skool quest markers ;)

Is the color ok? Should it be something other than yellow so it isn't confused with the regular quests?

I'm glad to know someone is using the Old School theme. I put it together pretty quickly for fun and I was curious to see what it looked like in the game. I was thinking about making the unassisted (non targeted quest) grayscale maybe? I'm hesitant to make changes without feedback. I always seem to upset someone when I make any changes.

No problem for the idea.
Thank you for adding it.

Don't ask me "Is the color ok?", I'm gonna tell you I'd prefer a customizable one for each quest icon.

But I think having the same color for “!” and “?” isn't confusing.

Which one is the unassisted?
If it's the blue one, it's nice because it's more or less the same color than the regular daily craft quests icon.
If it's the “yellorange” one, it could be nice to have the same color than the regular quests icon. But I admit I do like the current colour.

I think the best way to not be afraid of upsetting anyone is to add new possibilities without removing the previous ones.

I think I accidentally commented on these old skool quest icons on the PointsOfColor comments, so I will go ahead and share my two-cents here on this. Yes, daily/repeatable quests should be blue, regular quests should be yellow. Unaccepted quests you have yet to pickup should be the ! icon, quest directions/turning in quests should be the ? icon. And to expand upon this, I really like the idea of taking the original ESO quest markers, and tweaking them and putting the yellow !/? icons on top. That way Main quest/Zone quests with their unique quest marker that differentiates from normal sidequests would still have that look but with the old skool on top in some way.

So basically to summerise: Normal quests start with ! and end with ?, Daily/repeatables should be blue and start with ! and end with ?, and main quest/Alliance Zone Quest should have a different backing icon under the !/?.

(Now I am sure some people would like the colorful door icon, but some people might like to keep the Skyrim-esque quest marker arrow, but with the !/? layered on top of it. Maybe could also change the ESO quest arrow to be minimalistic and/or high contrast color with the !/?

Edit:

I made a mockup of what a combined ESO + Oldskool quest marker could look like.

I think the ESO quest markers should be made to be minimalist but keep the original color, as for the mainquest/story/zone quest they need to be differentiated from standard quests.

What do you all think about this mockup?

Edit2: Reason for my mockup was because I didn't like how quests were ! and ? were story quests. Didn't feel right with how quest markers were in WoW. And to add to my mockup, the write/daily quest should be the blue of course for the !/?.

NaterOfTheWired Forum posts: 1 File comments: 13 Uploads: 0	Posted about this issue on DarkUI comments, same deal Posting these Lua errors here as they are specific to this addon, but its the same issue as DarkUi and PointsOfColor. So, basically like I said on the DarkUI comments, these addons require LibStub, but LibStub has been discontinued in favor of ESO's built in function that has replaced LibStub and the r31 update to LibAddonMenu-2.0 removed the embedded LibStub which broke DarkUI, PointsOfColor, CQM, and Wykkyd's Toolbar.

YankeeEdgar Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	I just started playing for a while and I think quest markers in this game is the most horrible that I've ever experienced on any MMORPGs that I have played in my whole life. It is so confusing to know which marker is unaccepted quest and which one is the target for the selected quest. Thank you for your hard work. This addon might be very helpful for me.
