2.4 brings in a new system of link in chat - spell links and quest links

I'm working on reverse engineering the quest link system, i've got the new spell link system sorted because its so simple

in a similar style to the editing item links sticky at the top

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cff71d5ff\124Hspell:41624\124h[Enfeeble]\124h\124r");
replace spell:xxxxx with the correct spell: id and the spell text and you can link any spell in the game (afaik no danger of d/cing)

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("\124cffff2020\124Hquest:8871:70\124h[The Lunar Festival]\124h\124r");

will link a quest, the FFFF2020 is the colour for a red quest, but it appears the system automatically recolours depending on the level of the person viewing. quest:8871:70 means this is a level 70 quest id 8871, and the quest name goes in teh square brackets as usual


Obviously you cant customise these like you can itemlinks but thought it'd be handy for linking random spells/quests from thott/wowhead

This can be used for scamming. You can modify weapons and try to sell them to nubcakes

No...this is for editing spells and quests. However, there is a sticky about editing item links.

You can modify the quest ID to any number you want, without being disconnected for data mining on the PTR.

/run (function(i)ChatFrame1:AddMessage("\124cffffff00\124Hquest:"..i..":1\124h[Quest "..i.."]\124h\124r")end)(1)

Already checked the high end of existing quests; no WotLK quests found so far.

[Stew]

yes, any spell can be linked too, havent had a chance to look up any of the interesting ones, might be good for boss mod addons to use,

they may or may not place the restriction on looking these up when it goes live, but we might get lucky. I did test out linking martin thunder's spell effect and it worked fine.

whats the ID of that quest?

[Saiket]

That Alexander's Quest is quest ID 1. It's not even found on Thottbot, so I assume it's never been seen before.

[Stew]

new ptr version doesnt seem as happy about the links

[Stew]

also just found how blizz's new GM whisper "blizz icon" in the chat frame works, means no more spacing out and typing <GM>me: moo etc,
format is |TInterface\\your\\path\\to\\blp:Width:Height:Xoffset:Yoffset|t
but you cant send in chat messages afaik

[Vcertno]

I dont understand Stew.

[Hiselor]
