I created a Buy Me A Coffee account in hopes that some of you find my program useful enough to make a donation. Thank you in advance

I developed a program to help me track my characters progression in the game. I think some people might find it useful as well. Originally I was using a spreadsheet to track which quests I owned and which I had completed on elite. As time passed I found that there were aspects of doing this in a spreadsheet that I found cumbersome. Probably the most notable was that I was unable to sort and display the information in a useful format. Even with macros, forms and formatting the display of quest information was awkward, unwieldy and required the spreadsheet program. Ultimately I decide to write a stand alone program to track and display the information as I desired. Thus was born my . . .

The first versions of the DDO tracker allowed the user to sort quests in a variety of ways, track quest completions and character favor progress. Over time I have added additional sorting methods, pack ownership tracking, saga tracking, HTTP linking, user notes, a summary of quest/challenge information and provide puzzle solutions/solvers for many quests. I added raid timer and tome trackers to the character tab so that the user no longer has to logout to check whether an alternate character is off timer or can use a specific tome. While we're talking about the character tab, it has spell lists for classes that must inscribe spells. This allows the user to track inscribed spells at spell levels above those which the DDO character sheet allows you to see. Finally, I added a Reincarnation tab to aid in tracking reincarnations.

I continue to add functionality as I determine a need/desire, a useful way to implement it and time.

I hope you'll give it a try and post any feedback, suggestions or constructive criticism here or to ddotracker@gmail.com.

Due to the amount of new content, both variants of classes and new quests, any updates planned?

I love this thing. If it would only auto-update ...

 

[Margona]

It has been brought to my attention that I entered some quest data incorrectly for the last update. You can use this LINK to the QuestData.txt file to download the latest version. I tend to update this file fairly often. As a matter of practice, it is updated a week or so after each game update. I've never had a way for the user to get this updated file other that with updates for my program.

Directions:
1. Close the DDO Tracker
2. Download QuestData.txt file
3. Overwrite the file of the same name (QuestData.txt) in the program directory (default:C:\Program Files (x86)\DDO Tracker\)
4. relax, take a break after that extremely laborious task.

Going forward check this same link when you need to update the quest data.

Thank you!

Looks good

You know what would be crazy? If there was an app like this that tracked the contents of inventory with a search function

Very interesting stuff!

September 16th, 2024 11:00 PM - Version 2.4.88

I have updated my DDO Tracker program to accommodate for the changes that update 69 made. Quest level now goes to level 36, the Myth Drannor quests are now in the list, Eladrin, Wild Mage and Chaosmancer are now included in the reincarnation lists, yada, yada, yada.

As always you can read about the changes/additions in the release notes. Please note that I know there are two quests (see the release notes) with additional puzzles for which I do not yet have solvers. I will have to wait until I can buy Myth Drannor before I can evaluate whether adding a solver for them is feasible and makes sense.

As always, you can use this link to download the program.

Here is an obligatory link where you can make a donation to show your appreciation. Many thanks to those who have already done so.

Please feel free to send any feedback, suggestions or constructive criticism to Serious Nonsense or to ddotracker@gmail.com. I particularly want to hear if you have a solver or puzzle solution you want added.
