Author's Notes

Enjoy and give credits

[modern algebra]

I like that you use items here to track the quests. I'm not sure I like the design of the script. It seems kind of plain. Anyway, nice work on this game guy.

[game_guy]

thanks, if you can whip up some sort of image on how I can make it look I'll change it. I had to make the thing so large because the window was displaying the quest info and the info was the item description.

[modern algebra]

Well, my #1 suggestion without adding features to the script would be to set the info in a window in the quest screen, rather than giving it such a big window. ALl of that information can fit in the half-screen gap in the Quest selection screen, aside from the description, and with that I would suggest you just break it into lines. Rather, than draw it in one long line, calculate and make it into another line if it goes over. That's what I did for the quest system I made for VX.

Anyway, it's just a preference thing for me. You certainly don't need to take a suggestion from me. It's fine as is.

[game_guy]

Could you help me with making the text be in a paragraph please? I cant figure out how to make it go to a new line if its too long

[modern algebra]

I actually wrote a scripting too to help with that a long time ago: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,22215.0.html

[game_guy]

Mind if I include the script in my next version? That way it'll be easier to see the text and be able to have more of a description. Thanks in advance!

[modern algebra]

Nah, of course you can include it. That's what it's there for

[Buland]

Amazing new script! Finally a Quest Log for XP!   

I can't wait for the next version to come by!

P.S. How many quests can this deal with?

[game_guy]

Ah shit I forgot to update the script here sorry guys

Ok I updated the post and this can have as many quests as you have items. I think the max items are 999 so you can have a total of 999 quests but of course you'll have regular items taking away at least 100-200 so that leaves you with 799-899 quests.

[Buland]

That's more than enough for me!

[SeMcDun]

Hey Game_Guy, nice work!

I have a little problem with it though seeing as I have little knowledge of the scripting language in use I don't know how to fix what seems to be wrong.

I pasted the code into my game and left it exactly the way it was to see how it worked at first and used an event to call item_id 34 like it already was. I made the item and away I went. The problem however was when I tried to click on a quest to get more info about the quest it comes up with this:


Script "Quest Log" line 292: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method "new for #<Game_Item:0x33f2128
@completed = false>

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

[game_guy]

fixed

[happyhibisci]

Hey, this is a really nice script.  Clever too

Could you include a little more instruction though?  I would like to know if it's possible to change the reward after you complete a quest.  For example, when you receive a quest, I would like the "reward" to display "? ? ? ?" but after you complete the quest and receive a reward, I want it to say "3000 Gold" or something.  So is it possible to change it mid-game?

Also, I don't really understand how to use "$quest.quest(item id) > 0" as a condition branch.  I want someone to say 3 different things depending on the status of a Quest: Before you accept the quest, during the quest, and once the quest is completed.  How do I do that?

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.  This script is awesome.

[eps5000]

This seems like an awsome script, however i wish that you could have written it to pull info from a .txt or .ini file, much more room to write description and specifics that way... Thx for the script, ill b sure to cite you!

That shouldn't be a problem.
If you're intrested in that kind of script, i could make it.
Just tell me what features shall be realised and it will be done over the next weekend
PM or better e-mail me ^^

[Smooth]

Nice script.. im using it for my game.

EDIT: it would be nice if you could use diferent icons depending in the quest just like in your archievment script(Gold,Silver or Bronze Type missions) according to the importance.. and uuhmm how do i change the the color of the text for "incomplete" and "complete"?? Yellow doesnt fit for a complete mission xD

EDIT2: Nevermind, made a little research and found out

[Frzanny]

Hi, I'm new to RPG maker and everything, but i tried out your script and it was great. I was looking to make a game with my friend, i was just wondering if we could use your quest system in the game if we decided to sell the game. If we did, we would say it was made by you, not us.

Thanks, Frzanny

[Eternal]

@Frzanny: You should probably PM him personally. If he doesn't answer, try PM'ing on another of the websites he's active on.

@Game_guy: Love it, and I'm probably going to use it, but let me come with a suggestion: Do so that when you select a quest it appears in the empty area instead of covering the whole screen. Example:

_______________
|______________|
|          |           |
|          |           |
| Quest | Quest  |
|  List!  |  Info!   |
|          |           |
|______|_______|

-Peace out

[game_guy]

@Eternal: I may do that
@Franny: You can use it but if you sell it I get a free copy.

[Mr_Wiggles]

i wounder if you could make it to where theres multiple parts to a mission, ie
kill 3 dragons, report to mr wiggles, give item to little girl. - idk lol

or

optional parts ie
collect 3 apples, give them to granny "or" sell them

or

like more detailed status of a mission ie
mission - find the lost sword and report to Lt mark
status:
found sword - completed
reported - incomplete
reward - not recived
or
mission - kill three knights and recive the holly grale then report to sister karen
status:
killed knights - completed
found grale - completed
talk to sister karen - incomplete
reward - not recived


just a few ideas

[game_guy]

I plan on adding the multiple parts, and Im making it more compatible

[uncleiroh13]

Um im confused with this part here where do i find these?

CONFIG REWARD
CONFIG LOCATION

[game_guy]

scroll down until you see a commented line that says CONFIG REWARD or CONFIG LOCATION

[xetjsin]

Hi, sorry to bother, I really like this script and want to use it in my game, but was wondering something

I'm wanting to get rid of the Save option in the menu alltogether, and was wanting to replace it with "Quest" or "Log", could someone tell me how I'd do this?
