TourGuide is a LUA script AddOn for World of Warcraft that provides in-game quest
directions harvested from popular step-by-step quest guides. TourGuide not only
displays guide steps, it tracks your progress within the guide on a per character
basis, and supports easy swapping of multiple sources including Profession Leveling
Guides as well as the major Character Leveling Guides.

Installation and Operation:
Once you have World of Warcraft installed on your computer, extract the contents of
TourGuide.zip into the /Interface/Addons/ folder of your WoW installation folder.
When you log into WoW, TourGuide should automatically show up in the AddOns list.
From the main menu, choose Game Options and Key Bindings, then scroll down to TourGuide
and choose a key or key combination to display the TourGuide frame. I recommend
G for the Step Reminder and Ctrl-G for the Step List Panel.
Open up the Step List Panel and use the drop-down box in the top right to choose
which of the available guides you want to follow. Then bring up the Step Reminder
and follow the instructions on-screen. Click "Done" to advance a step in the guide.
If you're starting mid-guide, you can use the Step List Panel to rapidly scroll
through the whole guide, find the step number you're on, and advance directly to
it using the command "/tg skipToStep 21" (obviously substituting in the appropriate
number in place of the "21").
Known Issues:
-
Guide selection from the Step List Panel drop-down does not always work
correctly. You can always change lists using the command "/script
TourGuide_applyDataset(setName)" where setName is the filename of the
dataset you want to use (without the ".lua" extension).
Future Development:
-
Complete Northrend guides through all zones (currently ends at Grizzled Hills)
-
Track virtual quest log and provide visual comparison to the character's
actual quest log. Could probably also predict what step in the guide a
character should be on.
