showing up on your alt toons? or even sharing quest progress on main toon for alts?



edit for clearer explanation: i dualbox. quest helper shows up, keeps track of all my main toons quests and progress. on my alt however, I do not see quest helper, happened for last few updates. on 0.76 atm, but it used to at least show my alts progress. now i don't see it and don't see the alt progress.



in the past, since i started sualboxing, i could type qh track (turns off qh tracking) then type it again to toggle qh on and it would work. now nothing. any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows.

I duno..I turned off QuestHelper after I learned it was causing me to lose 15-20 FPS on each client..

Great mod, bad performance...

Not sure what that problem is. However, I don't really know why you run it on both toons. I only have it running on my main, none of my slaves. I also use QuestAnnouncer to tell me the immediate quest status of my slaves(Jamba takes care of some of this too) and MonkeyQuest to list my quests and show me who has what quest (there are many quest add-ons for this, so I don't know if this is the best choice). I was also testing out JasonQuest recently which puts a window up that shows the quest progress of everyone in your group. I decided to remove it since I just have too much crap on my screen already and I didn't really find the additional information of much use.

Also, a lot of people prefer CarboniteQuest over QuestHelper. I didn't, but it doesn't seem to have the same resource issues. So, you could simply try that.

Cheers.

As far as showing party progress in a quest tracker, I use a combination of JasonQuest and QuestFu.
Without showing the JasonQuest tracker, I can see the quest progress for each character built into the QuestFu tracker.

When did you do that? I seem to recall having a simlar problem, but that was quite a while ago and fixed by a QH update. I'm running QH and 3-manning on 1 box and am not really having any issues. The box I'm running on is nothing special either... just a moderate machine. (I do tune my graphics way down when 3-boxing).

The biggest framerate killer I've encountered so far is shadows... those simply clobber my FR.
