Author's NotesEnjoy and give credits
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.
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.
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.
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
I actually wrote a scripting too to help with that a long time ago: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,22215.0.html
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!
Nah, of course you can include it. That's what it's there for :)
Amazing new script! Finally a Quest Log for XP! :D
I can't wait for the next version to come by!
P.S. How many quests can this deal with?
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.
That's more than enough for me! :D
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.
fixed ;)
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.
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 :D
PM or better e-mail me ^^
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 :)
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
@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
@Eternal: I may do that
@Franny: You can use it but if you sell it I get a free copy.
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
I plan on adding the multiple parts, and Im making it more compatible
Um im confused with this part here where do i find these?
CONFIG REWARD
CONFIG LOCATION
scroll down until you see a commented line that says CONFIG REWARD or CONFIG LOCATION
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?
Go to line 24 and replace "Save" with whatever you'd like the name on the list to be (just remember to put " around it)
Then replace line 150 through 160 with the following:
when 4 # save
# Play decision SE
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# Switch to save screen
$scene = Scene_Quest.new
Here's the default menu with the changes and including the save disabled part taken out (basically the things above)

updated, this is a lot more compatible now with more scripts
'Ello. I was asked to take a look at this and I found a problem.
You see, if you access the Scene_Quest routine before you add any quests (like in your demo), you run into an error that will make the system crash. You see, when you don't have any loaded quests, the routine tries to pass an empty array of quests into Window_Command. Without commands, the system crashes.
You could add a default 'No Quests' command to the list of your quests if the quest array is empty, and make sure hitting the no quest option takes you out of the routine or something.
:zwink: -DerVV
Great script game guy, but I was just wondering, is it possible to remove quests from the quest log? ??? Or did I just miss that entirely in your excellent description?
Thanks,

Quest.take(id)
I always seem to find some incompatibility with your scripts compared to mind....
anyways: (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffc06.deviantart.net%2Ffs71%2Ff%2F2010%2F088%2F5%2F9%2Fqwer56789iol_by_CreatedThoughts.png&hash=016c035ae355cfc8ec6737854961fc3bc15d31ea)
This is caused when using: $scene = Scene_Quest.new
Main Script I am using is the Spanish to English translation of FF12's battle system
Well i know that this script will crash if there are no quests in the Quest menu.
sorry I just don't have the time to fix that small mistake.
But do know this, I plan on re-making the quest system (3rd time now) that way you will get no errors at all and it'll look much nicer.
well you don't have to rebuild each time, you can just improve on what you have, which this second build is better then your first I must say.
i fixed it by adding this to line 188 "@quests = [""] if @quests == []"
I know, I'm just not happy with the design.
I like it, but if you have visions of something better, then I can't wait to see it.
Hello game_guy.
I really love your script, its very easy to use and usefull, but i have one question:
How can i sort list of quests by process of quest?
I mean: uncompleted quests will be at the top, completed in bottom.
Sorry for my bad english.
BTW: i have remaked your script that i have there: in progress, completed, failed (red font) so i want to sort them (quests) in that queue:
In progress
Completed
Failed
THX for reply and THX for this really extremely nice script.
Well when I get to remaking it I might add that feature. I really haven't done much in RMXP lately but I'll see if I can get back into it.
Well, I'm looking forward to it. I hope you will update your script soon, because you are making the best scripts. Like item storage, very useful. Thx a lot :lol:
Great job on this Game_Guy! This is my favorite quest log script. There's others that have more features, but the missions aren't as easy to set up. Yours is so easy to customize. I also added in support for the mission arrows script so that when you select a mission in the quest log, it will show direction arrows to help you find the mission location as long as the location name is the same as the current map name. So far it seems to work really well. Thanks for the great work :D
Haha thanks! I'm remaking it and missions are going to have parts.
Get the Apples
Part 1: Collect 5 Apples
Part 2: Return them to Ms. Biggy
Wow :D That will be nice, but one thing, keep it simple, thats why lot of people <3 your script.
Okay I lost my main computer. Little brother poured soda all over the tower while I was hanging with some friends. So much for mom watching him >__>
Anyways I've gotta restart on all my progress I made. Heres what I plan to add:
- Objectives - 1st: get 5 apples, 2nd: Eat them
- Sorting option - Sort by 3 options, (Completed, failed, in progress), (failed, completed, in progress), (in progress, completed, failed)
- Quest name colors - example: green completed, red failed, white in progress
- This may not happen, I might make a config app for my quest script. Depending on how difficult it will be to configure things.
Thats all I can remember for now. Look for the update =)
man game_guy I love you script I been trying to make one my own but have no idea what i am doing :D i cant wait until the new verison comes out cause of the end game thing but lets have some fun
I love your script and it's been working for me for the most while, but now that I got to 4 and 5 quests it won't work.
I keep getting an error "Script 'Quest Log' line 263: SyntaxError occurred." It won't let me go to the title screen but if i take out just the quest descriptions i can get to the title screen. Can anybody help.
thats line 262 and 263
self.contents.font.color = system_color
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 480, 32, "Quest:")
and thats the descriptions
when 1 then return "Go North of Alae Forest and gain entrance to Mount Alae (Ryan is required for this quest)."
when 2 then return "Go back to the Underground Sanctum and tell the rest what happened."
when 3 then return "Go to Mine Town find some Tobacco to make smokes for Ben, Shawn, and Girv so you can play as them again."
when 4 then return "Go to the Glacier River and find the Ice Sword (Ben is required for this quest)."

i'm not good with scripting if someone can help me that would be great.
never mind im an idiot, i found the problem i was missing a "
ALRIGHT so I know this is a TERRIBLE necro post but I have added functionality to this to make it more available for those who have or wish to add this script to their Scene_Menu. First, I will describe how to use it.
in your scene menu, in the update_command section (where you added the functionality for it to go to the quest log and made it play the sound effect), you will make it look like this (replacing the "3" with whatever case it is in your script):
when 3 # Quest Log
# Play decision SE
if $game_party.quests_avail == false
$game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
return
end
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# Switch to save screen
$scene = Scene_Quest.new
That is only step one. You will want to also grey-out your Quest Log option(more than likely, unless you are a trickster and like to prank the people who play your game into thinking its broken...). Do so like this (again, replacing "3" with whatever case it is in your script):
if $game_party.quests_avail == false
#disable quest log
@command_window.disable_item(3)
end
Now, your menu is finished. Now you need to update your quest log script. Here is the quest log script as I have it now (any updates to this quest log made after the version I grabbed will not be available with this functionality unless it was already added and I was not privy to such information).

Now, you have something to work with, but wait...there's more!
What if you want to add a quest or take away a quest? By default, the menu is disabled so if you add a quest, you wont be able to access the quest! Now, I could have simply made it check the quest automatically upon adding/taking the quests but I like to add the OPTION to be able to do this without forcing you to do it (and also because I have some plans that will require this option to be available in my own game). This allows you to give someone a quest and keep the quest log unavailable until you are ready to do this if you for some reason wish to do so here is a way to handle this type of thing. Keep in mind there are many ways to handle this (some will require some more editing of the Quest Log script), but this is just something i was playing around with (and probably in no way the easy way lol)
Here is an image of the event that I gave an npc as an example of using the check to see if any quests are available.
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F5MRf9.png&hash=9348ba003119094e5ab189b5f623fbbe837c2108)
As you can see, I added a new script call. Quest.check will check your quests array to see if there are any quests available and if there aren't any, it will disable or enable your Quest Log command in the menu. This will further help avoid getting the error that you receive when you have no quests in your quest log. Remember you want to add a Quest.check command to each of your add or take calls to let the game decide whether the quest log needs to be enabled or disabled and if it is left enabled when you take away all of your quests then you will run the risk of the player getting that nasty error and if its left disabled when you just gave the player a quest, it will not be viewable to the player and thus deemed broken!
PHEW!!! Long winded reply/update over! Sorry to the original author of the script for working on this without asking for permission but I felt it was long-overdue for an update. If this has been updated in another post with a totally different version, well...then blame google for not taking me to the new quest log script upon searching for one! :P
