Forever Loot Sparkles

What it does

On WoW Forever, quest items sparkle on the ground, but some graphics presets switch that off and the items get hard to find. This addon turns the sparkle back on at login and every time a graphics setting changes. If you are in combat, it waits until the fight is over.

Your outline mode and Self Highlight setting stay as they are. The option is under Esc > Options > AddOns > Forever Loot Sparkles, and the box is on by default.

Key features

• Keeps the quest item sparkle on even when a graphics preset turns it off.
• Turns it back on at login and after a graphics change, waiting for combat to end.
• Leaves your outline mode and Self Highlight settings alone.
• One checkbox, under Esc > Options > AddOns.
• No slash commands and nothing else to set up.

Installation

1. Download the zip and extract it.
2. Move the ForeverLootSparkles folder inside it into World of Warcraft\_forever_\Interface\AddOns\.
3. Close the game completely and reopen it (/reload alone does not load new files).
4. On the character select screen, check that the addon is ticked in the AddOns list.

Notes

• Turning the box on takes effect immediately. Turning it off needs a full game restart; /reload is not enough.
• The sparkle and the outline cannot be active at the same time: the game has a single switch for this.
• Quest givers and some other NPCs may sparkle too; the game decides which objects sparkle, not the addon.
• Since version 2.0.0 there are no herb, ore or corpse sparkles. The author says they caused problems with targeting and nameplates. For herb and ore sparkles the author recommends the addon "Lueur".
• Uninstalling does not undo the setting. To reverse it, type /console outlineModeShowLootEffectWhenDisabled 0 in chat and restart the game.
