[tip] questhelper performance

[dRiN]

For those who run questhelper you can drop the calculation on the followers if you depend on your main for route calculation. It is overkill and takes away processor time you only need to use on your main : )

/qh hide

Hides QuestHelper's modification to the minimap and world map, and pauses routing calculations.

or disable questhelper on your followers since you dont really need it if you main is doing the quests anyway xD

Than you will not track their progress either, and for some quests (collection) this can be handy. And mouseover tooltip won't give follower information either.

And if you use a main that has done most quests already it is nice to use questhelper in this way.

shweet ^^ thx for the tip

I don't even use this on my main anymore, as it uses like 6 or 7 MB memory :/

I dropped quest helper and started using carbonite quest. Its much better.

Options that I use and find important to multiboxing (for QuestHelper):

/qh perf value
Scales the CPU workload for QuestHelper's route calculation routine. Will accept a number or a percentage, in the range 10-500% (although we don't recommend going above 100%).

/qh share
Toggles objective sharing on and off. When on, will share quest objectives and progress with other party members that are using QuestHelper 0.17 or higher, and also have sharing enabled.

/qh solo
Will disable quest sharing and ignore anyone you might be partied with, basically assume you will receive no aid from your party members.

I checked out carbonite today too, but it does not have questshare support like questhelper has : )

[Depherios]

I actually run both on my main (carbonite and questhelper) and questhelper on my slaves. The tooltips showing quest progress is a HUGE help, especially with gathering quests.

/qh perf 10% is a big help when QH decides to freak out flash back and forth between two locations... while at the same time saving on CPU overhead yay lol.

[wowphreak]

What helps me tons with questhelper and reduceing the lag is to reduce the route calculation on all the other ones to 20% and keep high on the main.
That way it still tracks all the others quest and what not :P

Only thing that might be kinda annoying is its take a bit longer for it to register when one or more have completed the a quest not that big of a deal.

/qh setting will popup a menu
