Description
This script provides a graphical interface for showing quest progress. It is objective based, meaning that you choose when to reveal objectives and you can set it so that they show up as complete or failed. That said, this script does not build quests for you; it is only a supplementary scene for showing them. As such, you need to event all of the quests yourself and update/monitor quest progress via script call. Therefore, pay close attention to the instructions both here and in the Editable Regions.
Features
Unlimited number of quests (though if there are too many in one category there may be some lag when switching to that category)
Can setup and show lots of information about a quest
Vastly configurable, even down to the order in which data is shown and the fonts used
Quests are updated and monitored through simple script calls
If the information exceeds the visible height of the data window, can select the quest and scroll down to see the rest
Custom Categories permit you to add or remove categories and change their order
Access built into the menu, if it is so desired
Can manually add new types of basic data to be shown for each quest
Screenshots
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs9.postimage.org%2Fxqkg17zcf%2Fqj1.png&hash=5e47bea9a18d2749a7b24d2728c511f8b6246d1c) The default setup.
Keep in mind that there are dozens of ways you can rearrange that. I did not give that quest a banner, but aside from that, you can totally rearrange the order in which the data is shown (on a quest per quest basis, if necessary), you can add new categories, you can change the icons of the default categories, you can add new types of data to show, you can change the font used for any particular entry, you can remove the category label window, etc. You have a lot of control over how the script looks, so even if you don't like the look of the default setup shown above, give the script a try and see if you can change it to your satisfaction.
Instructions
Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main but below Materials. You may wish to separate the configuration part of the script from the rest of it, for easier updating. See the header of the script on where the spot to do that is.
Please see the Header of the Script for detailed instructions on configuration and use.
Script
The script is too long. Please get it from Pastebin (http://pastebin.com/4pAz9KG5). A demo will be released shortly.
Addons
Debug Addon (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,47539.0/topicseen.html) - napoleon has written a script that creates a debug menu for the Quest Journal, allowing you to manually complete or fail objectives in game to assist in testing. Remove Quests from Default Categories (http://rmrk.net/index.php?topic=45127.msg580428#msg580428) - Some people use the script to display both quests and other information, and they would like the other information not to show up in the all, active, complete, and failed categories. This addon is for them.

Support
Please post in this topic at RMRK.net to report any bugs, ask any questions, or make any comments or suggestions. Given the size of this script, I know that I have likely made errors and oversights. I greatly appreciate when someone reports errors.
Known Compatibility Issues
None currently. If you are using a custom menu script, however, it is recommended that the Quest Journal be below it in the Script Editor.
Demo
Brady has been kind enough to make a nice demo (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,45127.msg528094.html#msg528094) for working with the Quest Journal.
I will also be releasing a demo some time.
Author's Notes
This script imports most of the features from the VX version 2.1, as well as adds quite a few more.
One of the features that has not been imported is the Quest Shop. I will likely write an addon to the script for that feature sometime in the future, but for now I figured I would just release the basic script.

IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME! May I call it "MALG Whatever Database"? (or AnythingJournal) Because, even if you don't want quest journal, you can create with this script whatever you want. Wise using really grants ton of capabilities! I played a little bit and got this - Travel Guide for jrpg tourists (Screenshot): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/88/img1zw.png With QuestJournal for old VX I created Achievments scene, with Ace version it's much easier, and (thanks to categories!) can be combined with other cool things (like Quest+Notes+Achievments Scene). This scripts makes me very happy! I like huge descriptions. And ranks (star icons super, and F-E-D-C-B-A-S for ninja games!). Omg, Global Text Codes works, I get colored quest name right now. It's remind me about ATS, both scripts have great customization (there was Synthesys Shop example in ATS VX 3.0 demo, and I created Teleportation System with Advanced Choises). What it's all about. I really want to say "Thank you, modern algebra!". For AnythingJournal and other scripts :)

Well, I am glad you all like it and I hope that it doesn't disappoint!
And I am glad that you like the customization AlexArmstrong, It's always hard to choose a balance between ease of use and customizability, and I don't think I ever strike it right. So it's nice to know when people put it to good use :) The travel journal looks good too. P.S. You don't need to put the "Major Name:" (Mayor?) inside the quest data itself: you can change it in the VOCAB hash itself. client and location are around line 355, and you can just change it from "" to "Major Name:"

Post by: AlexArmstrong on February 21, 2012, 04:44:11 PM
Yes, I really like it. It's not simple easy script, but it have good instructions. After 1.5 hours I easily created travel guide first version in about 15 min (banner was the hardest thing xD). And yes, it was just quick test version, so i doesn't put much work in it (actually, even "name" word not neccessary, it's ok just with icon and text like "Mayor Daniel" or "King Arthur", "Elder Ralph" etc.). Oh no, our publishing house made a mistake in travel guide... Sure, he is "mayor". No wonder so less tourists buying our guide xD Well, waiting your other new scripts! (type of interesting in crafting system too). Best regards!
Oh, just now I get "can't convert symbol into string error" on this string @data[quest_id].custom_categories.include?(list_type) I created new category :guide and add q[:custom_categories] = [:guide] in my quest. I'm not sure, maybe I'm just missed something in categories, but I have no idea, what it is.

Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0c [VXA]
Post by: Bravo2Kilo on February 24, 2012, 05:42:06 AM
I think there might be a problem with the description formatting
I used the script call quest(1).description = "" to change the description and this is how it turned out.
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0c [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on February 24, 2012, 02:41:48 PM
Well, that's probably just a result of the width limitations in the Script field. I think what is happening is that the text between your "" extends over one line, and so it inserts \n after each line in the box, which is the next line code. The next line code is recognized by the formatting in this script since I wanted the user to be able to manually break line with \n if they wanted to do so. To fix your problem, you could do something like this in the script call instead:
d = "Jessica has told me that Boris is " d += "looking for me. Maybe I should talk " d += "to him before I do anything else." quest(1).description = d

Post by: Balthier99 on February 24, 2012, 05:58:37 PM
Is there a way to make the "objectives" to have a different VOCAB on different custom layouts? For example: I have quests that use the default layout and the "objectives" VOCAB is set to "Summary". On another (custom) layout, I'd also like to use the "objectives", but this time with the VOCAB "Notes". I think I could create a new BASIC_DATA_TYPE and set its VOCAB to "Notes", but then it wouldn't answer to the functions I can use with objectives, like "reveal_objective(x, y)".
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0c [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on February 25, 2012, 01:58:17 AM
I don't think that's a feature I care to add to the main script, but maybe I will write a little work around that would permit you to do it.

Thanks for the hard work. However, I got a problem. I do always get this Error (pic below), after the complete_objective function. I added a picture. The script I wrote are: "quest(1)", "reveal_objective(1, 1)" and "complete_objective (1, 1)", where it crashes. As I'm the only one experiencing the problem I think it's my fault, but I don't know where. I used the sample quest for testing.

Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0d [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on March 17, 2012, 02:14:10 PM
You do it with events, not through this script. This script just graphically represents that quest.
You would set up the quest in the script like this:
when 7 # Quest 7 - this ID doesn't need to be 7, but it has to be unique q[:name] = "Animal Trouble in Lynis" q[:level] = 1 q[:icon_index] = 333 q[:description] = "Wolves are attacking the town of Lynis. The mayor has put a bounty on their heads." q[:objectives][0] = "Speak to Mayor Trakia." q[:objectives][1] = "Kill 5 Wolves. \\v[4] / 5" q[:objectives][2] = "Return their pelts to Mayor Trakia." q[:client] = "Mayor Trakia" q[:location] = "Black Forest" q[:rewards] = [ [:gold, 500], ]
As a sample, you would then set up the actual quest through events. In this example, I am using the pelt count as a proxy for wolves killed, meaning every wolf would need to have a 100% drop rate for pelts. However, that is not totally necessary. You could do it simply by kills, but you would need to set up counting events in every troop that has wolves (if you are doing random encounters). If you are not doing random encounters, you would just need to count the wolves in the troop inside the event in which the battle is called. Anyway, the following event does it by pelt count.
So first, you hear a rumour about the wolf troubles. That event would look like this:
@>Text: Hey, you might not want to go to Lynis. I hear there are wolves attacking that town every night! @>Script: reveal_objective(7, 0)
7 is the quest ID I chose at the very top of the event I setup - "when 7". It has to be unique so that you can identify it when you are modifying objective status. That reveals the "Talk to Mayor Trakia" objective.
Then in Lynis, there would be this Mayor Trakia event:
Page 1: No conditions @>Text: Please help us! We are being attacked by wolves! I will give you 500 Gold if you kill five of them. @>Show Choices: OK!, No thanks! : When OK! @>Text: Oh thank you so much! Bring me five pelts for your reward. @>Script: complete_objective(7,0) reveal_objective(7, 1, 2) @>Control Switches: Switch 34 is ON
Page 2: Condition: Switch 34 is ON @>Conditional Branch: Variable 4 >= 5 @>Text: Oh, you have the pelts! That is wonderful news! Here is your reward @>Change Gold: +500 @>Change Items: -5 Wolf Pelts @>Script: complete_objective(7,2) @> quest(7).objectives[1] = "Kill 5 Wolves 5/5" @>Control Switch: Switch 34 = OFF @>Control Self-Switch: A = ON : Else @>Text: Please return when you have killed the savage beasts! @>Branch End
Page 3, Condition: Self-Switch A is ON @>Text: Thank you for your earlier assistance.
Switch 34 and Variable 4 were randomly chosen IDs. Again they can be any ID, as long as you are consistent. I chose variable 4 actually when setting up the quest, as I set that to be the pelt count.
Now all that is left is counting the wolves killed. This can be done with a parallel process common event like this:
That's all very messy, but I am sure you can adapt it to your needs.

Hello.
First off, thankyou modern algebra for these wonderful scripts. I'm a total newbie with RPG Maker, first time using scripts, first time everything. I decided to try out your quest script.
This may be dumb but how do you move the quests to "completed" after the objectives are met? I've placed objective_complete?(ID, 0,1,2 etc) in my conditional branch to get my rewards but the quest didn't move to complete.
Also, is this script really customizable in terms of changing graphics? I've put a picture in the banner section and it was real neat. Wonder if you can customize other parts.
Thankyou so much for inspiring me and I hope to learn a lot from you.
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0d [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on March 18, 2012, 02:15:35 PM
With respect to your first question, the code you chose only checks whether the specified objectives are complete.
There are two ways to complete a script. Firstly, a quest completes when all prime objectives are completed. Which objectives are prime depends on the value of q[:prime_objectives] when you setup the quest. If you do not include it altogether, then all objectives are prime. If it is [x, y, z], then only objectives x, y, and z are prime.
To complete an objective, you use the following code in a regular Script event command (ie not the Conditional Branch field):
Where x, y, and z are the objectives you want to complete. Once all the prime objectives are completed in this manner, then the quest status changes to complete. If any one of the prime objectives are failed, then the quest status changes to failed.
Alternatively, you can set it so that there are no prime objectives in the following way when setting the quest up:
If you do that, then quests will never auto-complete or auto-fail, and so if you want to change the quest's status to complete or failed, you have to use one of the following codes (again in a Script event command, not in the Conditional Branch field):
Quests will still auto-activate whenever an objective is revealed (unless you've turned that feature off), but if you want to change its status back to active after completing or failing the quest, you must use the code:
In all of the above code samples, ID should be replaced with the integer ID of the quest you are modifying and x, y, and z with the IDs of the objectives of which you are changing the status.
With respect to your second question as to how graphically customizable it is, the following is a semi-complete list:
You can add a banner
You can change the fonts and colours of all text
You can change the windowskin and window's tone
You can change any of the icons used in the script
You can add new categories to the category window
You can change the label shown for each category
You can choose not to show a label for any category
You can choose to show the category label in a separate window
You can change the label shown for the Quest Log as a whole
You can choose not to show a label for the Quest Log at all
You can add new "basic" data like :client and :location (ie icon and label, then a customizable entry for each quest
You can obviously change any and all data for the quest
In description and the objectives, you can use any message codes like \\v[n], \\c[n], etc.
You can change the order in which items are drawn either generally or on a per-quest basis. In other words, if you want the rewards to precede the objectives, then you can do that either on a general basis or for only a specific quest. In addition to that, you can specify that some things are drawn at the same y-coordinate, which is what is done in the default with the line, quest name, and quest level
You can change the quest level to show either as a number of a generic icon corresponding to the level (ie. 1 stars for level 1, 2 stars for level 2, etc...), as one unique icon for each level (ie. 1 bronze star for level 1, 1 silver star for level 2, etc...), or as a label (like "Rank:") followed by a number or letter corresponding to the level (you can set which letters correspond to which level).
There might be more that I am forgetting.

Yeah well,I am loving this,but what's up with this!?
Where x is the ID of the quest you setup. I use since array indices start at zero, so its ID is 1 since it is the reward after the gold. In that particular case, it is changed to give Weapon 12.

Alright, thats what i was looking for! Thanks. But would this work to add a reward?
Say I did not want the player knowing how many rewards they would get? Would I just leave blank strings?
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0d [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on April 28, 2012, 11:28:16 PM
You could just leave blank strings, or you could just push the new entries to the array. Ie: you could have the above example and it would show just the two rewards in the Quest scene.
and then the quest would show three awards: the gold, Weapon 12, and now 2 of item 1.

Where can I change the font size of the text inside the "description" box? I'd prefer it somewhat smaller than the default font size, but I didn't find the right line to edit this. Same with the text in Quest Objectives - is there a way to change the font size for these?
Also, might it be possible to place just plain text inside the "rewards" section? The main quest of my game doesn't have any specific item rewards, but as a flavor text it'd be nice to include something there. For example I tried this:
q[:rewards] = "The King has promised you great wealth should you succeed with your quest, young hero."
but it didn't show up in the game at all.
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0d [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on May 23, 2012, 04:57:28 AM
In the Configuration section, you ought to see the following:
FONTSIZES = { normal: false, # normal: default font size scene_label: 28, # scene_label: fontsize for the Scene Label window category_label: 24, # category_label: fontsize for Category Label window } # <= Do not touch.
As explained in the instrunctions dealing with font aspects generally, you can change the i=size of the description text by simply inserting a line to do so. In other words, something like this:
FONTSIZES = { normal: false, # normal: default font size description: 16, # <- THIS scene_label: 28, # scene_label: fontsize for the Scene Label window category_label: 24, # category_label: fontsize for Category Label window } # <= Do not touch.
Change the 16 to whatever you want the font size to be. Mind you, it won't change the line height, just the size of the text. For the reward thing, not really, no. I'd recommend just adding it to the description.

Sorry about that. The script removes the category window altogether when there is only one category, and it looks like I did not account for its absence at all points in the script. It should be fixed now, so you can grab the script again from pastebin. It is not necessary to replace the configuration section of the script if you have already altered aspects of that.
@others - I will try to release a demo sometime this week or the next.

For anyone who's been having trouble getting started with the script, I've drawn up a short, unofficial basics demo (with moderns permission, for those who would like to know) to cover the foundations of the script.
This covers receiving quests, completing and revealing objectives, finishing quests and repeating quests. There's no combat, just collection and interaction, and only takes five minutes to run through, but should give you all the understanding you need to get started with the script.
Hopefully this will help anyone having problems until modern has time to make his official demo :)

Found a bug in the demo that reset my red flower key items to 1. Below is how I came across this issue. Hope it helps!
I picked up 10 red flowers first before talking to the quest giver who requests white flowers. I did not talk to the girl to wants red flowers again before this. I then picked up a few white flowers and completed the quest multiple times. After this I went over to the old man and then the sword. I did not view the credits before completing the red flower quest. After this I went back to the first map with the red flower quest but my red flowers were reset to 1. There were still red flowers in the field but the amount only totaled to 9 after the reset, thus not allowing me to complete the quest.

Sorry, there was an error in the script. It is now fixed and you can get the new script from the first post. Also, you shouldn't put a space between the command and the brackets. It should be:
But the error you are getting was my fault. Retrieve the script from the first post and replace it and it should work. You don't need to replace any of the configuration, you just need to change the part following this:
class << DataManager #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # * Extract Save Contents #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ alias maqj_extractsavecons_2kw5 extract_save_contents def extract_save_contents(*args, &block) maqj_extractsavecons_2kw5(*args, &block) # Call Original Method if $game_party.quests.nil? $game_party.init_maqj_data $game_system.init_maqj_data end end end

Was wondering if anyone could help me out with something. I'm just trying to get this script to plug into Yanfly's Ace Menu Engine but I can' seem to call the script into Yanfly's correctly. As of right now I've been able to get Tsukihime's "Select Skill System" working with it but not MA's quest journal. I'm probably just overlooking something quite obvious but any help would be much appreciated. I've never been much of a coding guy :P
This is how Yanfly's code works for calling menu scenes:
when :item add_command(Vocab::item, :item, main_commands_enabled) when :skill add_command(Vocab::skill, :skill, main_commands_enabled) when :equip add_command(Vocab::equip, :equip, main_commands_enabled) when :status add_command(Vocab::status, :status, main_commands_enabled) when :battle_setup #<--- Tsukihime's Script add_command("Traits", :battle_skill, true) when :formation add_formation_command when :save add_original_commands add_save_command when :game_end add_game_end_command

Post by: modern algebra on August 08, 2012, 10:22:17 PM
Not able to test since I am not at my computer, but does it not work just to put the Quest Journal under Yanfly's script in the Script Editor (keeping in mind that you also would have had to set MENU_ACCESS to true at line 238 and chosen an index at line 240)?
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0.2 [VXA]
Post by: lostboyrufio on August 09, 2012, 05:15:31 AM
Yeah I've definitely made sure to read through your script and have marked it with an index number, and I always make sure to insert scripts properly based upon what they are most likely heavily modifying or overwriting. Yanfly's script ends up ignoring the listing of the index and instead just pushes all other menu options below the ones in his Menu Engine. I only ask if it's possible to incorporate the two together as Yanfly's script forces the Exit Game command to come before anything not being pulled by the Menu Engine. So in essence, my menu currently comes out like this:
Inventory Equipment Status Skills Tsukihime's Script Formation Save / Load Exit Game Quest Journal Monster Catalogue
If you can't think of a way for Menu Engine Ace to incorporate your scripts I'll just keep trying to find a workaround. Thanks for your time though.
[EDIT] I found a workaround, it involved me making a fake instance in Yanfly's script but not allowing the instance to actually show on the menu as a command. This for some reason moved the Save / Load command and the Exit Game commands to the bottom. Its weird and I'm hoping this doesn't lead to strange errors later.

Hm, well I'm glad it's fixed for you.
I just tried the two scripts together and it worked fine; I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. Any chance that you could do me a favour and make a new game with the initial error reproduced? I'd like to see what was going wrong so that I could fix it for other users.

How exactly did you go about doing this? I'm trying to call this script with yanflies as well. I have gotten the Quest Journal icon itself to appear, but upon clicking it my games crashes.
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # new method: command_journal #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def command_journal return unless $imported['MA_QuestJournal_1.0'] SceneManager.call(Scene_Quest) end
^My Method inside yanflies (When the object is chosen from the menu this method is called to open the "Scene_Quest" Which is where I'm assuming the window setup is.)
for command in YEA::MENU::COMMANDS case command #--- Default Commands --- when :item add_command(Vocab::item, :item, main_commands_enabled) when :skill add_command(Vocab::skill, :skill, main_commands_enabled) when :equip add_command(Vocab::equip, :equip, main_commands_enabled) when :status add_command(Vocab::status, :status, main_commands_enabled) when :journal add_command("Journal", :command_journal, true) when :formation add_formation_command when :save add_original_commands add_save_command when :game_end add_game_end_command
And here's where I created the journal inside the menu commands.
Please, any help? I might be using the wrong scene perhaps?

As long as the Quest Journal is below YEA Menu Engine, you shouldn't need to edit anything in either script. It ought to be added to the menu automatically, and whenever I've tested it that is exactly what happens. I uploaded a project where I just pasted the two scripts into the same project, without editing anything at all, and it works fine.
Anyway, obviously it's a real problem, so could you please create a project with that error and share it so that I can see what is going wrong? I'd like to be able to fix this error.

Yes, but I am using a "Ring" menu system Since I do not use all of the menu options and im making a "Horror" game not a RPG I needed a simpler menu, when I put both scripts together (yours below yafles) the icon for the script does not appear. This is why I tried to create my own method. This method setup I am using makes the icon appear, however when selected the whole game itself crashes/freezes.

It might be possible. Try adding your other scripts into the working demo one by one and tell me when you hit a snag. Then upload that demo and tell me which script was the last that you added.
@Wiimeiser - that would happen whether you use the Quest Journal or not. If it's an error, it's an error inherent to YEA Menu.

I've been using this script for about a day and just wanted to know a few things before I customize it completely:
Is there a way to change the color of the blue lines? Could I hide categories until a quest from that category is unlocked? Could I add more to the description of a quest through a script call or by flipping a switch or variable?
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0.3 [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on September 25, 2012, 10:43:38 PM
# line: This sets the colour for lines or boxes drawn in the quest scene line: :system_color, # line_shadow: This sets the colour of the shadow for lines or boxes drawn # in the quest scene line_shadow: [0, 0, 0, 128],
# COLOURS - This lets you change the colour for various aspects of the # quest scene. Each can be set in one of three ways: # :symbol - If you use a symbol, the colour will be the result of calling # the method of the same name. For instance, if you set something to # :system_color, it will set the colour to the result of the Window_Base # system_color method. # Integer - If you set the colour to an integer, then it will take its # colour from the windowskin palette, just like using \c[x] in messages. # Array - You can also set the rgba values directly with an array in the # format: [red, green, blue, alpha]. alpha can be excluded, but you must # have values for red, green, and blue.
2. Yes, but it has to be done manually. As you can see at line 363:
# CATEGORIES - This array allows you to set which categories are available # in the Quest scene. The default categories are :all, :active, :complete, # and :failed, and their names are self-explanatory. You can add custom # categories as well, but note that you will need to make sure that each new # category has an icon set in the ICONS hash, as well as a label set in the # CATEGORY_VOCAB hash (if you are using SHOW_CATEGORY_LABEL). It is also # advisable to give it a sort type, unless you are fine with it being sorted # by ID, as is default. CATEGORIES = [:all, :active, :complete, :failed]
Those will be the default categories. You can remove any of them, but if it is empty then the :all category will be forced into it. If you later want to add a category (for instance, :failed) in the course of a game, you would need to use the following code in a script call:
s = $game_system a = [:active, :complete, :failed] s.quest_categories = a
However, as should be apparent, there is currently no way for a quest to automatically be added only when the first quest which fits in it is. You would have to do it manually.
# You can activate and access a quest with this code in the Script event # command: # # quest(quest_id) # quest_id : the integer ID of the quest you want to access # # From that, you can access or alter any relevant data stored in the quest, # like name, description, objectives, etc... Example: # quest(1).name = "Rest in Pieces"
So, if you wanted to change the description of quest 2, you would just do something like this:

@Yin - I am glad you are liking it so far!
@timedead - I took a look at your project. The scripts are working together, but the quest system is disabled until a quest is actually revealed. This, combined with the fact that you have the ring menu set to hide disabled icons, is why the Quest Journal is not showing up in the menu. In other words, just reveal a quest and it will show up. Alternatively, go into the ring menu and find the following around like 88:
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Show Disabled Options # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # Set to false to exclude disabled options for the menu #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISABLED_SHOW = false
Change it to true.
Or, in the further alternative, if you don't want the quests menu to be disabled when a quest hasn't been revealed, you could go to the second last line in the Quest Journal, where you see this:

Hey MA I love the script and I have a suggestion if you want to make it or not, it's up to you.
With the quests, could you make it possible to have monsters that you need to defeat as one or more of the conditions? Claimh has it in their script, but I prefer yours as it is much easier to understand.
I was just wondering if a) it was currently possible else b) would you be interested in making an add-on to this amazing script?
Other than that, Love the script to bits. Good work on it :)

I'm not really sure what you mean. You can certainly put it in as an objective like you would any other objective, but if you are asking whether the script can automatically detect when the monster is killed and auto-complete that objective, then the answer is no - you would have to do that manually. That said, it would not be hard to do it manually. If the monsters are not randomly encountered, than it's especially easy since all you need to do is add 1 to a variable each time you defeat that monster, but it's also not terribly hard to do the same in a battle event for randomly encountered enemies.

Death Common Events (http://yanflychannel.wordpress.com/rmvxa/battle-scripts/death-common-event/) is probably a good idea.

@MA ok, i'm not that good at trying to get things to work. I thought that there might have been something within the script I missed. That's alright :) I now understand how I can do it. ---- Now i realize it doesn't need an add-on for what I wanted as there are scripts that can work along-side this one to give the same outcome. Thank you for the help MA :)
@Wiimeister Thank you for the link, it's pretty much what I needed I guess to run the quest I wanted. ---- Script works like a charm thank you :)
Both of you thank you for your responces :)
---- before I was going to post this with a really annoying and very basic question, but I managed to figure the answer out myself.
*all happy now and can continue re-building my database*

This seems like a really cool script. Im very new to this, in fact I just joined the site today. Started making my first RPG like 3 days ago, and I got most of the basics covered.. like cut-scenes, switches, some variables etc. But I have an issue with this script.. It seems like I can make it run fine, and I get most of how the script works.. but.. when I shall releave my first Quest Objective with script command: reveal_objective(1,1) I get an error from the Game_Interpreter script on line 1411.. and the game terminates.. I dont get it.
Also, is there a nice way to make the player cautious about the new objective in the quest log? Like Open the quest menu and display the added objective? I guess I could do it the easy way and just add a Input text event saying the quest log has been updated :P
Edit: I resolved the first issue, it was a mistake on my part.. Simple mistake as using a high capital R in reveal.. sigh Im stupid ^^

Nah, that's not stupid. It could happen to anyone unfamiliar with scripting.
As for the second issue, you can open the quest journal to a specific quest with the following code in a script call:
Where, naturally, quest_id is replaced with the integer ID of the quest you want to open.
Thanks a bunch! Totally love this script! Now i just need to play around with it a bit more, and hopefully change the layout of the quest journal the way I want it :) Thanks again!

Is there any calls I can do that allow me to check if a quest is completed, in conditional branch style, say, if Quest 8: "Defeat the Boulder Queen" is completed, a boulder event blocking a path will dissappear, instead of wasting switches on each and every single quest?

Not sure if you can.. but you are not really "wasting" switches are you? :D You can have many, many switches so shouldnt be a problem.. and if you use self-switches as much as possible you will def have enough of switches :)

You'd have to think, you're using up multiple switches per quest, ofter per criteria, as well. You make a switch that says the quest was accepted. You make a switch that says criteria was met. You make a switch that says the quest was completed. Because in my game, these switches are nessassary as your actions effect things. I would like to see if Modern Algebra has a script call for such, as the script registers that a quest and its criteria was met, so I should be able to use that data in a conditional branch script call. I can't use self switches as things in my game don't work in a streamline fashion. It's not this-to-this-to-that. So events read switches to determine what's the current situation through priority (Hero has saved the town from the dragon that had came as a result of saying the wrong thing to a witch--> the bartender congradulates you, then registers that you also delivered his crates to Town B--> He thanks you for that, as well, and gives you 1000 Gold.)

I see what you mean. I have similar events that needs multiple switches. But you can still use that same switch for multiple actions.. Like if you complete a quest, you can use that switch on several events to have different actions happening to alot of events. And you could also ask yourself if recieving a quest, or completing a special criteria in that particular quest, really has a big impact. Do you really need a switch when you pick up those crates?, does that action really affect the world around you? Instead you could use a self switch right there, and save the switch for when you actually deliver the quest to the owner etc.
But Im not sure exactly how your system works so I could be wrong here.. But still you have 5000 switches to work with, should be enough? :D
And Im pretty sure you can use the script command in a conditional branch already. If you input the script call for your quest, like for example:
If you use that same script call in a conditional branch Im pretty sure that you could use it instead of a switch. I havnt tried it out yet, but I sure will and see how it works.
Edit: Yep, the script-calls actually works inside the conditional brances. I put in the wrong code first, but MA directed you to the line with the script commands :)
I am very unfamiliar with scripting so when I looked through here I tried to make a test quest to see if I got it right. Everytime I try to launch though, I get this Script 'Test' line 1: Syntax Error occured. Unexpected keyword_when when 1 # quest 1
How do I reslove this issue? I've never used a script before.
Are you sure that you are setting up the quest at the correct line? Since the message says that the error occurs at "line 1:" I assume that you are setting up the quest at the beggining of the script? To keep in mind, all the green text in the script is Instructions only, and shouldnt be edited. The Input for your quests starts around line 611: along with all the Instructions there.
The Input of your quest should start around line: 781.

Dizturb3d is correct. It sounds like you created a new slot in the Script Editor and put your configuration there. That is wrong. You need to do the configuration inside the script itself, at the place that Dizturb3d mentioned.
Is there any calls I can do that allow me to check if a quest is completed, in conditional branch style, say, if Quest 8: "Defeat the Boulder Queen" is completed, a boulder event blocking a path will dissappear, instead of wasting switches on each and every single quest?
I'll direct you to line 162 of the Instructions:
Quote from: Instructions
# Also, there are a few codes that can be used in the Script command of a # conditional branch. I note here that all of these are optional. You could # use switch and variable checks and monitor quest progress solely through # events. However, these commands make it a little easier and they are: # # quest_revealed?(quest_id) # quest_id : the integer ID of the quest you want to access. # This is satisfied if the quest has been activated. # # quest_complete?(quest_id) # This is satisfied if all prime objectives of the quest are complete # # quest_failed?(quest_id) # This is satisfied if any prime objective of the quest is failed # # quest_rewarded?(quest_id) # This is satisfied if you have changed the reward status to true. # # objective_revealed?(quest_id, objective_id_1, ... objective_id_n) # objective_id_1, ..., objective_id_n : a list of the IDs of the # objectives you want to operate on. It can be as few as one or as # many as all of them. # This is satisfied if the listed objectives have been revealed # # objective_active?(quest_id, objective_id_1, ... objective_id_n) # This is satisfied if all the listed objectives are revealed and # neither complete nor failed. # # objective_complete?(quest_id, objective_id_1, ... objective_id_n) # This is satisfied if all the listed objectives have been completed # # objective_failed?(quest_id, objective_id_1, ... objective_id_n) # This is satisfied if all the listed objectives have been failed
All of those will work inside the script call field of a conditional branch. So, if you wanted the condition to be whether Quest 8: Defeat the Boulder Queen is complete, you would just use the following code:
Unfortunately, there is no way currently to use them as conditions on an event page, but one idea I've had for an independent script would be a way to add conditions to an event through comments. If you're interested in that, I could maybe put it on my To Do list.

I made sure to match the vocab of the quest log but it doesn't look like it fixed it.
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0.3 [VXA]
Post by: LoganF on December 12, 2012, 03:56:36 PM
The error means that Vocab::Quests is a constant variable that doesn't exist, or it has no value if it does exist. I'm not entirely sure how to fix it, and would require me looking into things I'm not familiar with. You can try the following, though:
The difference is in the capital letter on "Quests". As it is, it's trying to find a constant variable called "Quests", but it can't. By changing it to "quests" it will try to find a variable or method called "quests" in "Vocab" which is more likely to exist.
In the event it doesn't exist, you can replace Vocab::Quests with a string that will used as the vocabulary name for Quests. So you could change it to:
And that should work. It does mean that you would have to change that string if you wanted to use a different name, which might be inconvenient.
Try the first suggestion, first, and let me know how that goes works. The second will work as a temporary fix until someone else can give you the correct answer (assuming mine is wrong).

Neither of these codes worked.
Vocab::quests gave me this error:

underined method `quests' for Vocab:Module.
["Quests", "main_commands_enabled", true, Scene_Quests], gave me this one:

Post by: LoganF on December 12, 2012, 04:52:23 PM
What other scripts are you using? I have no idea what Z01 is referring to, and it's not something that's in the Quest Journal. It sounds like some kind of CMS script seeing as the default Scenes aren't throwing up any errors, only Scene_Quests.
As a starting point, try changing Scene_Quests to Scene_Quest. In Quest Journal, the Quest isn't pluralised, so that might be the cause. If it's not that either, then there's something else that I'm not sure about without some info on what Z01 is.

Hey, I was wondering if anybody could help me.
I'm trying to use this script along with Pacman's Menu augmenter, found here: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,46355.0.html
Problem is, when I load his script into the game, I cannot get a Quest icon to pop back up inside the main menu (via esc.) I can still hit Q in the game to access the quest window, but I'm trying to figure out how to have it so that the new main menu will display the Quests as an option.
Any help with this matter would be much appreciated. I'm rather terrible with scripting, so I'm losing my mind trying to figure out how to make everything work.
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0.3 [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on January 05, 2013, 04:16:16 AM
Hmm, this sounds familiar. I think you can find the solution here: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,45009.msg536382.html#msg536382
That was for adding the Monster Catalogue to Pacman's script, but these scripts both work the same for adding to the menu, so all you need to do is use a different method. See also: http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,45009.msg536482.html#msg536482
If you need further assistance, I can try to provide more tailored guidance for this script specifically.

I love your script.
I'm writing a custom shop script and I want certain items to be displayed only when a specific quest is met:
module Common class Shop def self.by_quest(shop_type, purchase_only = false) case shop_type when :items if quest_complete?(7) # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< crash here: Script 'Game_interpreter' line 1411: NoMethodError occured. show(:general_all, purchase_only) elsif quest_complete?(4) show(:general_advanced, purchase_only) else show(:general_basic, purchase_only) end ....
"Script 'Game_interpreter' line 1411: NoMethodError occured."
It works in scripts in events as well as outside of my module. But not inside of it. I did a ctrl+f to search for your "quest_completed?" definition but it's not there at all. How do I call quest_complete?(x) and objective_complete?(x,y) and such from another module?
Thanks in advance.

Post by: modern algebra on January 10, 2013, 09:16:33 PM
Both parts of that expression are necessary in order to avoid the problem you have encountered. The first part checks whether the quest has been revealed, and if it hasn't been, then it won't check the second part and so it won't accidentally reveal the quest.

Oh sorry I misunderstood.
Could I be a pain one more time and ask what the code is for checking it for an objective like (7,1) (for example) through a script?
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0.3 [VXA]
Post by: modern algebra on January 12, 2013, 10:10:25 PM
No worries! ;D
For checking an objective, you again need to have the revealed check, and the entire code is:
(keeping in mind that 1 is the second objective, with 0 being the first).
Also, if you want to check if more than one objective is complete, you can just insert it immediately after the 1. So, if you wanted to check if objectives 0, 1, and 3 are complete, it would be:
def self.quest_complete?(q_id) return $game_party.quests.revealed?(q_id) && $game_party.quests[q_id].status?(:complete) end
def self.objective_complete?(q_id, *obj_id) $game_party.quests.revealed?(q_id) && $game_party.quests[q_id].objective_status?(:complete, *obj_id) end

I'm learning Ruby. I started like 2 weeks ago so my code might be 'noobish'. Today I felt brave and attempted to create an addon for your script to make it easier to debug my game. It actually works :o, but there were a few things that I couldn't figure out. (I'm sorry if I ask too many questions)
Problems: - How do I retrieve a list of all objectives? The problem is that the user may have his objective id's as follow: 0,1,2,100,1000,434334,etc... For now I just used a placeholder "@@quests" - I also need to retrieve them without making them visible. - How do I retrieve the list of objectives that belong to a specific quest_id without revealing anything.

Thanks. The hardest part is to access all these quests and objectives without revealing them. But I have it all solved now except this one little thing. The code below will reset and conceal the quest. But after it's concealed it can never be revealed anymore... Not even through your reveal_objective(x,y). It stays concealed permanently until I restart the game. I tried another 'dirty' work-around by concealing all objectives but that won't work either. I'm all out of idea's.
# Do not use outcommented version below. It counts as manual conceal and thus is not automatically revealed when calling revea_objective(x,y) for this quest... I think.. #Utility.conceal_quest() #def self.conceal_quest(q_id) # $game_party.quests[q_id].concealed = true #end
#Utility.reset_quest() # Note that objective ID's may not have gaps. They must be numbered starting from 0 without any gaps in between. def self.reset_quest(q_id) $game_party.quests.delete_quest(q_id) $game_party.quests.setup_quest(q_id)
# ARGH doesn't work. The quest itself will remain revealed after all objectives have been concealed. obj_count = QuestData.setup_quest(q_id)[:objectives].length for obj_id in 0..obj_count-1 $game_party.quests[q_id].conceal_objective(obj_id) end end

I'm not sure what you mean. You should be able to conceal and reveal quests with the code:
will give you access to all of the quest data without revealing anything, not just objectives.
Title: Re: Quest Journal 1.0.3 [VXA]
Post by: napoleon on January 16, 2013, 11:45:16 PM
I know I did a "p QuestData.setup_quest(q_id)" to check out what's inside of it. It does not contain objective id's. But as long as the user configures his objective id's in a sequential manner it should be fine. In fact, I just noticed that your script crashes if the user does not use a sequential objective-id-list. for Example:
q[:objectives][0] = "Meet your colleague" q[:objectives][1] = "Travel to Castle" q[:objectives][2] = "Don't steal the panties" q[:objectives][3] = "Pass your exam" q[:objectives][4] = "Celebrate your new rank" #q[:objectives][5] = "Steal the panties!" <<< removed because it does not fit in my game #q[:objectives][6] = "Steal the panties! Part 2" <<< removed because it does not fit in my game q[:objectives][7] = "Go ZzzzZzz" # <<<<< skipped id 5 and 6. Will cause crash at some point.
This will crash your application when objective 7 is revealed. My addon won't crash but will display 2 empty rows. However, your documentation did not read that this was not allowed (or did I miss that?). Because my events on the map check for certain objective id's to be completed (like a rock that is not removed until you 'Passed your exam'). When I for some reason decide to remove objective 2 because stealing panties doesn't fit in my story then I have to fill in a dummy objective in order for your script not to crash. And if I would just shift the higher objective-id's one value lower then I would have to check ALL of my maps to make sure that they don't use any of those objective id's and if they do update those too. It would have been nice if an objective would have another parameter (weight) or something for sorting them so that you never have any gaps. I'm sorry if I'm totally wrong.
Yes it does conceal the quest. But the problem is that when I complete/fail/update an objective after I concealed the quest then Quest Journal does not automatically reveal the quest anymore . It stays concealed no matter what until I manually call:
The quest should just return to it's concealed state like when the game started. The above code is some kind of hard-conceal that sticks on it. That's not what I need. I just need to reset the quest and conceal it again (as if it was never revealed/used at all during this game-run).

Post by: modern algebra on January 17, 2013, 04:22:23 AM
That should make it as if the quest was never revealed, without setting the hard conceal. But I guess I am asking why it's necessary to access the quest through the Game_Quests class when you can retrieve any relevant data from the QuestData.setup_quest(q_id)?
I'm unable to recreate the non-sequential IDs error in my test project. I could see that error occurring if the game tried to reveal an objective that was set to nil, but I'm not sure why it would happen otherwise if you tried to reveal an objective that was not set to nil but which was non-sequential. Could you maybe recreate the error in a demo and show it to me?
As for showing the blank spaces, you can prevent that by using the #compact method. Ie:
If you want to retrieve the IDs, then you'd need the non-compacted array of course, but the objectives array is arranged in such a way that the ID of the objective is its position in the array.

Post by: napoleon on January 17, 2013, 12:59:20 PM
You are right, it happened because objective_complete(x,y) was called on a nil objective. No it wasn't revealed by me, I just needed to reset and conceal a quest even if it was revealed by the user or by some event or whatever reason. I got it all working now :). Many thanks again.

No problem! I am happy that I could assist you.
I haven't looked at the code itself in any detail, but I would recommend that you disable the ability to call the debug scene unless $TEST is true. $TEST is a global variable which is true in test play and false when playing the game ordinarily.
Anyway, the debug menu is a great idea and I am sure other people will find it very helpful. You should give it its own topic!

My code probably isn't the best. Only been doing Ruby/RGSS for less than 3 weeks now and I'm sure that this code could be shortened by like 300%. But it works and doesn't conflict with other scripts.

I'm having a bothersome issue. I called reveal_objective(1, 0) and get an interpreter error "string cannot be coerced into fixnum". Frustratingly, since it's pointing me to Game_Interpreter 1411 and not the quest script I'm having trouble locating whatever customization mistake I made. So I'm nowhere when it comes to fixing this myself.

Hmm, that's strange. I think I will need to see a demo. Can you make a new project, recreate the error, and then share it with me? If that's inconvenient, I could take your current project, but I know some people aren't comfortable with sharing their projects and it will work just as well with a new project.

Alright, at line 789 of my the Quest Journal, you have the following:
Additionally, for any of those settings where you aren't actually changing the default value, you don't need to include the line (though it also doesn't hurt).
In other words, what you have is functionally equivalent to:

Post by: Dark_Metamorphosis on February 03, 2013, 01:07:11 PM
So I have been using your quest journal script for awhile now, and added tons of quests so far! I have to say I totally love this awesome script! There's just one thing I can't get around.. It's not that of a big deal anyway, but there might be a way to change the settings so it will work as I intend it to do. First off, is it possible to change the order of how the different tabs are being displayed?
I have the following tabs in the Journal window: Main/Side quests, Active quests, Completed quests, and Failed quests. The thing I want to do is, to change the order so that Main/Side Quests is displayed to the far right, while Active Quests is displayed to the far left. I also want the completed quests to move to the completed quests sections when you have completed it. As it is now the completed quests will also show up in the Main/Side quest section even when they are completed. Is it possible to set it up so they will only display in the completed quest section and not in the more of a 'all quests' section?
I'm also thinking that I might want to have a specific tab for Sidequests and Mainquests, so that Mainquests end up in one section and the sidequests in another, is this possible to implement aswell?
I have tried out changing the settings inside the script, but I just can't get it to work like I want it too, so thought I would ask if It's possible to implement what I have in mind?
Thanks :)
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on February 03, 2013, 02:19:22 PM
Yes, almost all of that is possible. The section you are looking for starts at line 363 and looks like this:
# CATEGORIES - This array allows you to set which categories are available # in the Quest scene. The default categories are :all, :active, :complete, # and :failed, and their names are self-explanatory. You can add custom # categories as well, but note that you will need to make sure that each new # category has an icon set in the ICONS hash, as well as a label set in the # CATEGORY_VOCAB hash (if you are using SHOW_CATEGORY_LABEL). It is also # advisable to give it a sort type, unless you are fine with it being sorted # by ID, as is default. CATEGORIES = [:all, :active, :complete, :failed]
That array determines both which categories are present and the order they are in. So, if you changed it to:
Then that would make it so active quests was at the left and the all quests category is at the far right.
The :all category will always show all quests, including active, complete, and failed ones. That is its purpose, so there is no way to remove completed quests from it. What you want to do is dispose of the :all category and have it replaced with Main and Side quests, so you could make the array look like this (adjusted for order):
# ICONS - This is where you setup many of the icons used in the script. The # purpose of each is listed next to it. Also, if you make any custom # categories, you NEED to give them an icon by placing a line like the # others. So, if the new custom category is :romance then you would need to # set it like this: # romance: 107, ICONS = { all: 226, # The icon for the All Quests category active: 236, # The icon for the Active Quests category complete: 238, # The icon for the Complete Quests category failed: 227, # The icon for the Failed Quests category client: 121, # The icon for client data. If none wanted, set to 0 location: 231, # The icon for location data. If none wanted, set to 0 reward_gold: 262, # The icon for gold rewards. If none wanted, set to 0 reward_exp: 117, # The icon for exp rewards. If none wanted, set to 0 } # <= Do not touch.
You need to give an icon to your new :main and :side categories. So, right between :failed and client, make it look like this:
# CATEGORY_VOCAB - If SHOW_CATEGORY_LABEL is true, this hash lets you set the # label for each category. For any custom categories you create, you will # need to add a line for each below and in the same format: # :category => "Label", # Don't forget to add the comma at the end of each line. CATEGORY_VOCAB = { :all => "All Quests", # The label for the :all category :active => "Active Quests", # The label for the :active category :complete => "Complete Quests", # The label for the :complete category :failed => "Failed Quests", # The label for the :failed category } # <= Do not touch.
Do the same thing and add entries for your main and side categories, like so:
CATEGORY_VOCAB = { :all => "All Quests", # The label for the :all category :active => "Active Quests", # The label for the :active category :complete => "Complete Quests", # The label for the :complete category :failed => "Failed Quests", # The label for the :failed category :main => "Main Quests", :side => "Side Quests", } # <= Do not touch.
That's only strictly necessary if you are showing the category label, but you should do it now even if you aren't in case you change your mind.
Finally, this is optional, but you can change the way in which the quests in each category are sorted. At line 391, you'll see:
# SORT_TYPE - This hash allows you to choose how each category is sorted. # For each category, default or custom, you can set a different sort method # There are seven options to choose from: # :id - The quests are sorted from lowest to highest ID # :alphabet - The quests are sorted in alphabetical order # :level - The quests are sorted from the lowest to highest level # :reveal - The quests are sorted from most recently revealed on. # Every time a new quest is revealed, it will be at the top. # :change - The quests are sorted from the one whose status most recently # changed on. So, every time an objective is modified, that quest # will be thrown to the top. # :complete - The quests are sorted from the most recently completed on. # Every time a quest is completed, it will be thrown to the top. # :failed - The quests are sorted from the most recently failed on. # Every time a quest is failed, it will be thrown to the top. # # Additionally, you can put _r at the end of any of the sort options and it # will reverse the order. So, for instance, if the sort method for a category # is :alphabet_r, then the quests will show up from Z-A SORT_TYPE = { :all => :id, # Sort type for the All Quests category :active => :change, # Sort type for the Active Quests category :complete => :complete, # Sort type for the Complete Quests category :failed => :failed, # Sort type for the Failed Quests category } # <= Do not touch.
The instructions are pretty clear I think, but basically it's the same idea as the others. Change it to:
SORT_TYPE = { :all => :id, # Sort type for the All Quests category :active => :change, # Sort type for the Active Quests category :complete => :complete, # Sort type for the Complete Quests category :failed => :failed, # Sort type for the Failed Quests category :main => :change, :side => :change, } # <= Do not touch.
Naturally, you can use whatever sort type you want, not just :change. They are all listed in the Instructions above.
Now those categories are set up, but there are no quests in them. To add those, you have to configure each quest individually. For each quest, you need to modify the custom categories array. To make a quest go into the :main category, add this line to the setup for it:
There, now your quests will be categorized according to main and side quests.
As for moving complete quests out of there, that won't be done automatically. However, if, when you complete the quest, you also add the following line in a script call:
Then you will remove Quest with ID 4 from the "Main Quests" category. Just replace the 4 with whatever quest it is, and replace :main with :side where appropriate.
If you ever want them to return to those categories, you need to do it manually.
Also, you can repeat this process for as many custom categories as you want, and quests can belong to as many of those custom categories as you want.

Well, I wasn't too far off.. but I can see now which mistakes that I have done. Thanks alot for that information, you describe the process insanely well! I will follow the instructions you have given me, and I'm sure I will make it to work like I want it too! I guess this will be second nature later on, when I know how to set it up properly. Just one last question though, about the script call that will delete the quest from an array. Should I put this script call inside the event that will complete the quest? Like if I put in the script call, complete_objective(x,x) and this is the objective that is the main one, should I also include that script call below that one to make it disappear from the Main or Side quest array?
Once again, thanks alot for your instructions! Will help me tons! ;D

Well, that's true. It might just be a little frustrating for you since everything is stated inside the instructions.. After staring at the script for a long time though, I happen too look past alot of things and because of that I end up making mistakes.

Well, vms_check_quest is not a method in my script, nor does it appear in Game_Interpreter by default. Have you ever modified any of the default scripts for any reason?

Yeah, I just found Vms Simple Quest Book (http://www.mundorpgmaker.com/forum/index.php?topic=95341.0), and that is where the method was coming from.
I take it you were calling that method inside of a conditional branch? Anyway, I'm glad you resolved the issue and I hope you continue to enjoy the script. If you encounter any more problems, I will be happy to take another look.

Hi,
Thank you for this script, I really like it. I've two questions (if I missed the answers in the script, I am sorry).
1) Is possible to remove a quest from a category when it's completed ? I would like it to only appear in the completed quests category because at the moment it appears also in subquests category.
2) Is possible to show unrevealed quest ? I only wish the unrevealed quest to be shown by "????" and listed in the category of my choice.
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on February 24, 2013, 10:29:10 PM
1) Yes, but you have to do it manually. When you complete the quest, you can use the following code:
That would remove Quest 4 from all custom categories. Just replace the 4 with the ID of whatever quest you're completing.
2) No, not built in. You'd either need to make a bunch of those dummy quests, reveal them, and then replace them whenever you get the real thing. Otherwise you'd need to do make every quest have the ???? name and description, and then change them manually.
So no, nothing that would be convenient.

Ok, I think I will stay simple. By the way, is it normal that the number of the item isn't displayed when I set it to 1 ? (Example : 1 antidote)

Post by: modern algebra on February 25, 2013, 10:48:18 PM
Yes, that's normal. If you want to change it, you can find the following method somewhere around line 2247 (changes depending on how much config you have, but just do CTRL+F):
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # * Draw Item Reward #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ def draw_item_reward(y, item, amount = 1) w = contents_width w = QuestData::BASIC_DATA_WIDTH if QuestData::BASIC_DATA_WIDTH.between?(1, w) x = (contents_width - w) / 2 draw_item_name(item, x, y, true, w - 40) if amount > 1 change_color(text_color(QuestData::COLOURS[:reward_amount])) draw_text(x + w - 40, y, 40, line_height, sprintf(QuestData::VOCAB[:reward_amount], amount), 2) end end
I am sorry if I missed something in the configuration setting.

Sorry, to double post but it seems I've a conflict with another of your script (ATS advanced choices) or is it because I didn't setup right my quest ? I don't have that bug with my other quest...
Demo (I used the demo that you linked in the first page) : LINK (https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1bk459l59qy8d7/Unofficial%20Quest%20Journal%20Demo.exe) The bug happen when I try to open the quest menu.
As for the other stuff, I guess you're right that it looks weird. You could fix the spacing problem by just adding a few blank spaces, but you wouldn't be able to change the colour of the gold label without changing the colour of all basic data labels (like client, location, etc.). I suppose I will have to fix that.

It's been over 6 months since I last touched the program and since I have finished my course, I am slowly getting back in the swing of things. So if this question seems noobish then I apologize.
I am trying to make a repeatable quest. I have done everything required to get the quest repeatable however the rewards are not working. I am using "distribute_quest_rewards(id)" as the method of gaining rewards. Can anyone tell me how to make the repeatable quest continue distributing rewards via that script call every time it is completed?
The quest has one objective and that is fight a wolf for training purposes, and this is the setup I have.
Battle processing: Wolf if win @> Script: complete_objective(id, id) @> script: distribute_quest_rewards(id) @> wait: 5 frames @> Script: uncomplete_objective(id, id) @> if loose @> text : 'actor1', 1, normal bottom : : \n<Lisa>"I can't believe I lost to this wolf" Branch end
And on another note I am currently using Yanfly Engine Ace - Ace Message System v1.04

I think you can do it with the change_reward_status code:
# change_reward_status(quest_id, value) # value : either true or false. If excluded, defaults to true. # Totally optional, but this is just a personal switch which you can # turn on when the reward is given. You can then make it a condition # so you don't reward the players more than once. (see line 180)

Hello! I'd just like to say thank you for the very, very handy script. However, I'm wondering if there's a way that when you open the script page, it's already selected the first quest and you can scroll up and down it directly, rather than having to hit enter to select it first. I've hidden the two bars on the side as best I can, and I want to remove their use as much as possible. Attached is a screenshot of what I've done so far, to understand what I mean.

out of curiosity.. would it be possible to edit this in a way that this could also manage a system like star ocean til the end of time knowledge base, by using the objectives as a "when you find out more about something(people, places, item, spells).
and maybe add a custom category tab for the listed "somethings" above.
and making the IDs like this Quests = 1XX1 (then next would be 1XX2.. the amount of Xs depends on how many quests you would have People = 2XX1 Places = 3XX1 Items = 4XX1 Spells = 5XX1
for example.
when 2001
q[:name] = "Ryou" q[:level] = 3 q[:icon_index] = 7 q[:description] = "He woke up in a strange place with only a note in his pocket saying "Live"." q[:objectives][0] = Realizing that he had the power of a god, he felt betrayed by his father who never told him of this power" q[:objectives][1] = "Upon arrival of his Homeland he noticed everything had changed. the land had become dark, and the houses were in rumble. " q[:objectives][2] = "When he approached what he use to call home, he had a vision of a war happening. and the gods told him. "He was dead." confused he set out to discover what really happened."
[MORE QUEST OBJECTIVES TELLING THE ENTIRE STORY OF A "SOMETHING"]
of course.. its a bad example story...but its just something i thought of on the top of my head..
But as story would unfold it would tell more about the "something" if necessary.. would that be possible?

I love this script but there are two things that I would like to be able to do with it.
The first is that I would like a window to appear when a new quest is added with the quest name, description and rewards. Also, would it be possible to make the objectives of a quest appear with the uncompleted objectives above the completed ones as some quests in my game have a lot of objectives and it is a pain to scroll through all of the completed objectives just to check what I have to do next.
Other than these two small problems I think the script is great and looks brilliant.
Thanks a lot,

So, would it be possible for me to make categories manually invisible vs visible then switching them to be visible? My reason for asking/requesting is, like, say I wanted to categorize quests of different places, like, you've got your Village 2 Quests and your Fire Mountain Quests, etc., but you don't want the Category of Fire Mountain to be visible until Fire Mountain is discovered by the player in the first place. I tried to use like if $game_switches[1] conditions but that didn't work. So would you be willing to implement this or would you happen to know some IF functions I could add with switches to make this happen?

@rubydragon - it is possible, though not particularly convenient. Firstly, you'd have to set up each category as you would normally. However, in the CATEGORIES array, just put the initial categories.
Then, when you want to reveal new categories, you would need to do something like this in a script call:

I found something we could use, or least I could use
Here is a scenario: You walk into an INN, he, the innkeeper, has a series of jobs posted. a, b, c, d (quest id 1-4 respectively). You do all the quests, you collect all the rewards. The jobs are still there, you click on one, say a, he states "thanks again."
is_quests_complete?(id, id, id, id, id ,...) This way we could say if(is_quests_complete?(id, id, id ,...)){ Say something } else { do something }
Now I looked at your quest methods, your creating them on the fly, genius, how ever - is there a way to implement my idea with or with out altering your script?
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on July 12, 2013, 10:44:05 PM
Well, I suppose you could just change quest_complete? to permit checking more than one quest at the time.
You could do it by adding the following into a new slot, somewhere below the Quest Journal but still above Main:
class Game_Interpreter alias maqj_vpedit_checkquest_8ik3 quest_complete? def quest_complete?(*args) args.each { |id| return false unless maqj_vpedit_checkquest_8ik3(id) } return true end end

How can i use variables in quest objectives? I wan't to make something like this: Quest objective: Kill 5 monsters; And with every kill, quest objective should update (Kills 1/5, Kills 2/5... Kills 5/5). And when variable KILLS is 5 i will mark this objective as complete (with common event probably). Right now I don't know how to show variable in quest objectives. So please add this feature, or explain me how to use variables, because I didn't saw anything about this in script comments.

Sorry to take so long to respond. I've been absent. Anyway, that method will only work in a regular Script call because the method is defined in Game_Interpreter, not Window_Message. If you want to access the name of a quest from inside a message, you will need to use:
As for marking the objective complete, you would have to do that manually by, for instance, checking whenever you update the kills variable and completing it when it equals 5.

First of all, thanks a lot for sharing this script (again). Inm y humble opinion it's the best of it's kind.
I have found 01 bug and 01 incompability issue (while using a different font type). Here they are:
Bug:
The :gold and :exp are having it's texts exchanged between each other. The icon and values are working allright, but when i set a reward to be :gold, it writes "XP" in the quest scene, and vice-versa.
Incompability:
I am using a script from zalerinian that allows the exchange of fonts. Everything is working fine (now) in other scenes, but in the quest scene the text is being cutted at the rewards section, even if the text line is small. I will post the zalerinian script and images of this section with the default VLGothic font and my alt Gabrielle font:
def self.add_font(font_name, bold = false) return if Font.default_name[0] == font_name if font_name == "ORIGINAL_FONTS" then Font.default_name = Original_Fonts return end Font.default_bold = bold puts "Bold set to " + Font.default_bold.to_s + "!" Font.default_name.unshift(font_name) puts "New Font System: " + Font.default_name.to_s + "\n\n" end
def self.set_size(size) Font.default_size = size puts "Font size set to: " + Font.default_size.to_s end
def self.set_bold(value) if value == true || value == false Font.default_bold = value end end
def self.remove_first if Font.default_name.size == 1 then puts "You should save at least one font, you know." else Font.default_name.shift end end end
class Window_Base < Window def line_height return Font.default_size end end
class Window_Base < Window alias convert_e_chars convert_escape_characters def convert_escape_characters(text) result = text.to_s.clone result.gsub!(/\\F\[(\w+)\]/i) { Fonts.add_font($1) } convert_e_chars(result) end end
Quest scene with default font (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg11.imageshack.us%2Fimg11%2F8528%2Fxe23.jpg&hash=98a9000163778e60c9e332beff84e4049a97cab5) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/11/xe23.jpg/)

But nothing happened. It's weird because if you notice the screens i've posted, you will noitice that the gold word, apart from being small, is also cutted. Thanks a lot for the help so far.

Post by: Nosleinad on October 19, 2013, 04:20:35 AM
Really weird...i tryed a lot of values (Starting from 20), but the cut in the words is exactly at the same place from my screens. It didnt change a thing at all :o. It's like both "Reward" and "gold" words are being cut only in the reward section, but if it was a width problem, why is the gold word also being cutted since it's a very small word?
And thanks for the help so far Vindaca, i really appreciate.
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: vindaca on October 19, 2013, 04:31:05 AM
It has to do with the text's width vs the font's width. That font is Italic so the text letters are a little bit wider. I will keep working on it for you though.
** Do you think you can set up a demo. It would make things a lot easier.
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on October 19, 2013, 01:09:01 PM
Thanks for helping out vindaca. The line you identified is engaged only when drawing item rewards though, not string rewards or gold rewards.
For those, the draw_basic_data method is engaged, and the problem is because the text_size method does not accurately calculate the size of words for the font Nosleinad is using.
But no guarantee that that's enough. And, more problematically, whatever width you choose, the width in which the value will be drawn will also be changed. Feel free to play around with it though.
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: Nosleinad on October 19, 2013, 02:11:15 PM
Seems like no matter what value i set, it messes the rewards text or the [:client] and [:location] texts. The catch is that i added an option for the player to change the fonts at the system options, so the player can choose which font he likes best (it changes a switch that activates a commom event) and stick with it. Here's the commom event and the zalerinian font changer script:
def self.add_font(font_name, bold = false) return if Font.default_name[0] == font_name if font_name == "ORIGINAL_FONTS" then Font.default_name = Original_Fonts return end Font.default_bold = bold puts "Bold set to " + Font.default_bold.to_s + "!" Font.default_name.unshift(font_name) puts "New Font System: " + Font.default_name.to_s + "\n\n" end
def self.set_size(size) Font.default_size = size puts "Font size set to: " + Font.default_size.to_s end
def self.set_bold(value) if value == true || value == false Font.default_bold = value end end
def self.remove_first if Font.default_name.size == 1 then puts "You should save at least one font, you know." else Font.default_name.shift end end end
class Window_Base < Window def line_height return Font.default_size end end
class Window_Base < Window alias convert_e_chars convert_escape_characters def convert_escape_characters(text) result = text.to_s.clone result.gsub!(/\\F\[(\w+)\]/i) { Fonts.add_font($1) } convert_e_chars(result) end end
Would it be doable (not much work) to make the quest scene stay fixed at the default font? From my undersandings of the possible solution, this seems to be the most straightforward. I can make a demo with all my scripts if it helps this different solution to be made easier.
And lastly, i found this bug with the 1.0.3 version of the quest scene. I think this one shall be much easier to solve than that font incompability.
Bug:
The :gold and :exp are having it's texts exchanged between each other in the reward section of the quest scene. The icon and values are working allright, but when i set a reward to be :gold, it writes "XP" in the quest scene, and vice-versa.

@MA~ No problem. I know you have been in and out, so, I figured I'd help out.
@Nosleinad~ To answer your question about the font not being affected with that script try switching the order of the scripts on the list. Most of the time that will fix it otherwise it might take a small bit of coding.
As far as the words being switched make sure that you have them named right inside of the module first. It should be around line 355. I'm not sure thought that is in the newest update.

Hi again Vindaca ;).
You're right about the module part, my bad. I really changed the words, stopped a bit with my project and when i came back i didnt remember this part of the script :o. About the new font not being applied to the quest scene, unfortunatelly it's not a simple matter of order (I tryed it b4 rsrs). I will try to do somethings here, and if i can't solve it, i will be willing to make a comissioned work if you guys accept (i will negotiate via PM). Thanks a lot for the amazing help guys.

Post by: modern algebra on March 09, 2014, 02:58:00 PM
@Pinky - Well, quests are completed once all objectives listed as prime objectives are completed. If you don't set prime specifically then all objectives must be completed. Have you completed all the objectives?
@TheMaddHatter - Yes, go to the SORT_TYPE array, where you will see this or something like this:
# SORT_TYPE - This hash allows you to choose how each category is sorted. # For each category, default or custom, you can set a different sort method # There are seven options to choose from: # :id - The quests are sorted from lowest to highest ID # :alphabet - The quests are sorted in alphabetical order # :level - The quests are sorted from the lowest to highest level # :reveal - The quests are sorted from most recently revealed on. # Every time a new quest is revealed, it will be at the top. # :change - The quests are sorted from the one whose status most recently # changed on. So, every time an objective is modified, that quest # will be thrown to the top. # :complete - The quests are sorted from the most recently completed on. # Every time a quest is completed, it will be thrown to the top. # :failed - The quests are sorted from the most recently failed on. # Every time a quest is failed, it will be thrown to the top. # # Additionally, you can put _r at the end of any of the sort options and it # will reverse the order. So, for instance, if the sort method for a category # is :alphabet_r, then the quests will show up from Z-A SORT_TYPE = { :all => :id, # Sort type for the All Quests category :active => :change, # Sort type for the Active Quests category :complete => :complete, # Sort type for the Complete Quests category :failed => :failed, # Sort type for the Failed Quests category } # <= Do not touch.
Change the sort type for whichever category you want to :reveal.

I feel like a noob considering my previous question, how easy and dumb it was, to me at least, so let me rectify that by asking this, how can I set it so completed quests show a check mark graphic(which i added to my iconset) or at least a 'X' instead of a color change?
fyi: I'm using the font entitled Blackadder ITC (http://www.freefontsdb.com/detail/4580/Blackadder-ITC) as my default and a square is drawn as opposed to a diamond, which is perfectly fine with me.

Post by: modern algebra on March 10, 2014, 10:24:31 PM
Oh, easy questions are better than hard questions, since they don't require me to do any work.
To get rid of the colour change, you should see this around line 461:
# COLOURS - This lets you change the colour for various aspects of the # quest scene. Each can be set in one of three ways: # :symbol - If you use a symbol, the colour will be the result of calling # the method of the same name. For instance, if you set something to # :system_color, it will set the colour to the result of the Window_Base # system_color method. # Integer - If you set the colour to an integer, then it will take its # colour from the windowskin palette, just like using \c[x] in messages. # Array - You can also set the rgba values directly with an array in the # format: [red, green, blue, alpha]. alpha can be excluded, but you must # have values for red, green, and blue. COLOURS = { # active: This sets the colour for active quests in the list and the name # of the active quest when shown in the data window. active: :normal_color, # complete: This sets the colour for complete quests in the list and the # name of the complete quest when shown in the data window. complete: 3, # failed: This sets the colour for failed quests in the list and the name # of the failed quest when shown in the data window. failed: 10, # line: This sets the colour for lines or boxes drawn in the quest scene line: :system_color, # line_shadow: This sets the colour of the shadow for lines or boxes drawn # in the quest scene line_shadow: [0, 0, 0, 128], # scene_label: This sets the colour for the scene label, if shown scene_label: :system_color, # category_label: This sets the colour for the category label, if shown category_label: :normal_color, # level_signal: This sets the colour for the level signal, if shown level_signal: :normal_color, # objective_bullet: This sets the colour for objectives; if set to # :maqj_objective_color, it will reflect the completion status of the # objective, but you can change it to something else if you prefer objective_bullet: :maqj_objective_color, # reward_amount: The colour of the item amount, when shown reward_amount: :normal_color, # heading: The colour of any headings in the script, like "Description" heading: :system_color, # basic_label: For basic data, like client, the colour of the label basic_label: :system_color, # basic_value: For basic data, like client, the colour of the value basic_value: :normal_color, } # <= Do not touch.
As for the icon, I am not sure what you mean. If you mean you want to change the icon of the Completed Quests category, then you can find this around line 318:
# ICONS - This is where you setup many of the icons used in the script. The # purpose of each is listed next to it. Also, if you make any custom # categories, you NEED to give them an icon by placing a line like the # others. So, if the new custom category is :romance then you would need to # set it like this: # romance: 107, ICONS = { all: 226, # The icon for the All Quests category active: 236, # The icon for the Active Quests category complete: 238, # The icon for the Complete Quests category failed: 227, # The icon for the Failed Quests category client: 121, # The icon for client data. If none wanted, set to 0 location: 231, # The icon for location data. If none wanted, set to 0 reward_gold: 262, # The icon for gold rewards. If none wanted, set to 0 reward_exp: 117, # The icon for exp rewards. If none wanted, set to 0 } # <= Do not touch.
complete: 238, # The icon for the Complete Quests category
Replace 238 with the ID of your checkmark icon, which is the number that shows up in the bottom left corner when you select an icon in the database.
However, if you meant you want to change the icon of the specific quest (the one that shows up to the left of it in the list), then that cannot be done automatically. Rather, you will need to use the Script event command when you finish your quest, and use the following code:
Where you replace id with the ID of the quest and num with the ID of the icon. So, if your checkmark icon is 144 and the quest you just completed is 17, then the code would be:

Post by: modern algebra on March 11, 2014, 03:43:06 AM
By "on the right", do you mean you want it after the text? Or did you mean on the left, to replace the bullet?
Either way, there's no good way to do it without editing the script itself. You could perhaps change the objective when you complete it to add an icon at the end with a \\i[n] code, but it would be easier to edit the script once you clarify what you mean.

Hey guys, a bit of a noob, being using RPG Maker for a bit now, so decided to step it up and look at something like this.. But... few questions, the quest thing in my menu is grayed out, is this because there is no quests active? I just can't get it working, I have tried follow the instructions to the letter.. Can anyone give a link to a video? or anything such so I can SEE what to do? I've tried clicking on the demo om the page, but the link just sends me to a lot of different forum posts.. Really sorry in advance guys.. Like I said I am a bit of a noob when it comes to all of this.. :/

Hello! First post here, I have to say thank you modern algebra for this... it's truly a dream come true - so easy to integrate and use and so easy to customize.
I'm hitting a little snag though. I've set everything up and attempted to integrate the system into a quest. Everything works fine, the triggers, the gui, and the objective completion scripts. The only problem comes when the final objective is marked as complete (thus completing the quest). The player is crashing and giving the following error:
Script 'Game_Interpreter' line 1411: NameError occurred.
undefined local variable or method 'complete' for #<Game_Interpreter:0x8f97c40>
It seems as if the program is having trouble moving the quest from active to complete. Any thoughts?
Edit: @Crazy960 there is a reaaaally long tutorial video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py8bWcTnq5A (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py8bWcTnq5A) - the pace is ruthlessly slow, but it really does go through step by step how to set up a quest and use the system.

@TheMaddHatter - Try inserting the following code into its own slot in the Script Editor, below the Quest Journal but still above Main:

Replace 125 at line 27 with the index of the checkmark icon you want to use.
@Crazy960 - Yes, the quest menu is greyed out until the player receives his or her first quest. Brady's demo is at http://www.mediafire.com/?sy17loho2mofc02. Other than that, you could try the video hcmjmagic has shared. I don't have any official video tutorials or demos out. Sorry!
@hcmjmagic - Welcome to RMRK, and I am happy that you like the script. Judging by that error message, the error is in the script call of the event in which the final objective is completed. Can you screenshot what you have for that for me?

ok, so the diamond(or rectangle in my case, since the font I'm using does not have a diamond and a missing glyph square appears instead) to check mark didn't look as good as i would have hoped, so i added an empty check box to the icon set and now want to use two pictures, 1: uncompleted objectives(empty check box) 2: completed objectives(filled check box). The completed objectives looks good, thanks to you, however, when I use "/i[534]" in the objective_bullet field I don't get the desired graphic, instead it returns "i[534]". How can this be fixed?

@MaddHatter - Alright, replace that last snippet I gave you with the following one:
#============================================================================== # MaddHatter Icons Replace Bullets #++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Instructions: # # Insert this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, below the # Quest Journal but still above Main. Next, go to lines 26, 29, and 32, and # change the numbers (125, 127, and 126 by default) to the index of whatever # icon you want to show when the objective is complete, failed, and active, # respectfully. #==============================================================================
class Window_QuestData #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # * Draw Objective #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ def draw_objective(obj_id, y) buff = (objective_x*2) + 26 paragraph = mapf_format_paragraph(@quest.objectives[obj_id], contents_width - buff) line_num = 1 + paragraph.scan(/\n/).size # Since draw_text_ex resets the font, set colour here @maqj_objective_color = quest_objective_colour(@quest, obj_id) change_color(text_color(QuestData::COLOURS[:objective_bullet])) if @quest.objective_status?(:complete, obj_id) # Change the number below to the index of the bullet icon when complete draw_icon(125, objective_x, y) elsif @quest.objective_status?(:failed, obj_id) # Change the number below to the index of the bullet icon when failed draw_icon(127, objective_x, y) else # Change the number below to the index of the bullet icon when active draw_icon(126, objective_x, y) end draw_text_ex(objective_x + 26, y, paragraph) @maqj_objective_color = false y += (line_num*line_height) end end
I also made it so that you could use another icon for failed objectives as well (like an X).
Also, I know I recommended changing the colour for completion earlier, but you might be better off just changing the colour for :objective_bullet if you still wanted the colour of the titles of the quest to change depending on completion status.

First, great script! Now, I am having a small problem. I changed two default categories to Main (from All) and Sub-Quest (from Active). When I completed a main quest it was moved from Main to Completed just fine. However, when I complete or fail sub-quests they remain in the Sub-Quest category as well as showing in Completed or Failed. The only thing I've change in the script is these two names...I think. Any idea what might be wrong?
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on March 31, 2014, 11:52:39 PM
Well, it sounds like you did the opposite actually, and changed All to Sub-Quest and Active to Main. Anyway, those categories have default mechanisms. Whatever it is called, the active quests category includes in it only active quests, and the all category includes in it every quest no matter the status. Thus, you can't just rename the all category and expect it to lose quests when they're failed or completed. To do it, you would need to make a custom category and move them around manually. See this post (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,45127.msg541216.html#msg541216) for details.
Really, I ought to have made an option for custom categories to include status requirements, but I didn't.

Using the script - it's working well for the most part :)
The one issue I'm having is the window for description (and objectives). I've changed the default font. I finally got all the text width issues smoothed over, but I can't find where to fix the height.
I've got the font size set to 20 for both description and objectives: so far, so good, but the fixed line spacing (at 24) leaves way too much leading between the lines of text (and the drawn box is too large). I've tried mapf_format_paragraph, the case in data_height in Window_QuestData, and just about anyplace else I can think of.
The only thing I've been able to successfully change is the size of the drawn box. Haven't been able to get anything going with the actual lines of text though. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it :)

Nice Script! For my usage I'd like to know if there is a possibility for these two things: I'd like to have a minimum Level shown for each quest (maybe on the right of the quest's name?). Is this possible? The quests will be available when one of my characters hit the particular level. At the moment my idea for this is a common parallel event because I don't know anything about RGSS :D But an info for the player is missing. It would also be cool to make a teleport function for each quest somehow. I plan to make a mission board where you can teleport directly to the quest's area.
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on May 09, 2014, 11:50:09 PM
Well, the teleport stuff and the level restrictions would have to be done manually right now, but if you just want to show the level you need to be then that could just be done with the :level option. Just show a number instead of icons.
Alternately, if you wanted to keep that as something different and also include a separate line for character level, you can create new data types along the same line as :client and :location. Read the instructions starting at line 255 and let me know if you have any questions:
# BASIC_DATA_TYPES - This lets you set up additional types of data. Just # include an identifying signal in the Array. Then, you will need to give # each signal an icon (in the ICONS hash at line 322) and a signal text (in # the VOCAB array at line 333, though it can be an empty string). Then, you # can set the data itself when setting up quests by simply adding a: # q[:symbol] = "" # line to the quest. You will also need to include the data type somewhere in # the DATA_LAYOUT at line 306. As an example of this, I have included :client # and :location by default. You can CTRL+F for anything in this section with # one of those symbols (excluding :) and you will there need to add something # for any new data types you add.

Thanks a lot! I'm satisfied with the level thing now :)
Is there any chance to get you motivated implementing the teleport function? Like I said I have no idea how RGSS works, but I can imagine that you have to create a new array with map number, x and y coordinates and a teleport command with these information right?
It would be really cool if you could something like this when you hit the enter-button on a quest:

Yeah, you're right, same principle as Monster Hunter :) I plan a tactics game like Final Fantasy Tactics and a system like this would be the coolest for side missions.

I'm having trouble running it though since it says "No .dll for language", but I don't see where to download that .dll.
Sorry for the late reply. Put this file ("en") in the directory (with the "EXE") => LINK (http://sourceforge.net/projects/logixgamix/files/Logiciels/VX%20Ace%20Quest/en.7z/download)
It won't work if you just take the .dll, you need the file "en" itself. Version 3 won't have that problem. The auhtor support english and french translation.

Thanks Chaos17, I'll check it out when I have time.
@Altimos: For the first problem, I am not totally sure since it looks like you have it set up properly. Was it ever set up to show item 1? If so, are you loading from a save game where the quest was initialized before you changed it to show gold instead? Because that might do it. You can remove and reinitialize the quest to fix it.
For the second problem, that probably means you have the LEVEL_ICON option set to the ID of that icon. Around line 443, you should see this:
# LEVEL_ICON - This sets how levels are shown. If set to an integer, then it # will draw the same icon numerous times up to the level of the quest. Ie. If # the level's quest is 1, then the icon will only be drawn once, but if the # level's quest is 4, it will be drawn 4 times. LEVEL_ICONS_SPACE determines # the space between them. If you set LEVEL_ICON to 0, however, then it will # instead draw a signal for the level, corresponding to that index in the # LEVEL_SIGNALS array. If the LEVEL_SIGNALS array is empty, then it will just # draw the integer for the level. Finally, LEVEL_ICON can also be an array of # integers, in which case the level will be represented only by the icon set # which corresponds to it in the array. LEVEL_ICON = 125 # LEVEL_ICONS_SPACE - If LEVEL_ICON is an integer, this is the amount of # space between each time the icon is drawn. LEVEL_ICONS_SPACE = 16 # LEVEL_SIGNALS - If LEVEL_ICON is 0, this allows you to set what string # should be the signal for each level. If this array is empty, then it will # just draw the level integer. Ie. if the Quest is Level 4, it will draw 4. LEVEL_SIGNALS = ["F", "E", "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"]
You can modify those things to change how level shows up.

Thank for the help Modern Algebra.
After doing some editing of other components in my game, I had to start a new character to see the changes versus a saved file. When I looked at the quest log, I noticed that they were back to the bag of coins I had initially set it as. So it fixed itself because I stopped using that one saved file.
What got me was that it was saying *consumable* which was the name of the first slot item, instead of showing the icon symbol like it was suppose to. I never had [:ITEM] in the reward section. So for that consumable's tag to be display wigged me out a bit.
On the second point, I smell what your cook'n there. You see, I switched out my iconset.png to bigset.png which gave me over 9000 (pun intended) icons in my resource folder. So I've been changing icons for like everything (downside to changing your icon file).
I don't want an icon for it, and when I switch it to 0, it comes up saying Rank E(the rest is cut off). How do I make it so it will put in whatever level I put it in when I create the quest, e.g. 1,2,3, 500 :)
Thanks again, Altimos

Nevermind, figured it out. Just played with it a bit in the level signals (totally missed that, duh). Finally realized that the [] had to stay there (which is considered blank versus nothing there).
Once again, thanks again. Love the script, makes managing quests very easily. If only I can mindflyer your brain, I'd be better at the whole scripting aspect. But I wouldn't do that to you.
Again, thanks... Altimos

I didn't want to make any changes and break things further and you seem very responsive in the forum. So I figured I would give it a shot.

Sure thing. I just went ahead and grabbed that whole section that deals with height. You can see it in the spoiler below. My line 1977 that it says is generating the error is: @layout.each { |dt| @q_contents_height += data_height(dt) } if @quest

By any chance, did you set the q[:layout] of any quest to true?
Really, the script should have been flexible enough to accomodate for that, but it would cause a problem.
If that isn't it, could you recreate the error in a new project and show it to me?

Hey, it should be. But you might need to use a double backslash. In other words, \\v[x] and not \v[x]..

It wouldn't necessarily be hard, but VX Ace has such a small default resolution that any implementation would take up a lot of screen. I don't think it is something I am willing to do, but if you find someone else willing to do it, they are more than welcome to make the addon.

Hey modern algebra, I just discovered this awesome script! :) I love its customizability; I'm using it as a datalog. There's only one thing: I'd like to be able to arrange my entries (quests) in three different categories (characters, story, world) AND sort them by their IDs within those categories. So basically, I dont want the new entries to appear on the top, but in an order that I can control. Is there a way to do that?
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3

Yes to both. You just need to create and use custom categories. See this post (http://rmrk.net/index.php?topic=45127.msg541216#msg541216) for more details.
That also describes the SORT_TYPE hash, which is how you set the order in which entries appear. The sorting mechanism you want is :id

Sorry in advance if this is a necropost (the time threshold for necroposting seems to vary from one forum to the next, in my experience), but I'm getting a consistent error with the script. Every time I try to turn in this quest, I get this same error. (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs29.postimg.org%2Fp1f4qy2vr%2FThe_Error.png&hash=d51bd231994458c15d723d74a367084bc49da09f) It's weird, since this is the only quest that gives me this problem, and only when I set it to have a gold reward. I've put the quest in question below, since I already suspect know I just put something in wrong.
You need to either delete that line (if you don't want to associate a common event) or else set it to something. As it is, what is happening is that the line is being interpreted as:
and q[:common_event_id] has to be set to an integer, not an array.

It looks like you're copying it in such a way as to also copy the line numbers. If you're copying the script from Pastebin, just click the brown clipboard icon at the top. It's the third one over. See the picture below. The button has a red rectangle around it.

Well, it is embedded into the menu by default, so you can access it from there. See lines 137-144, 196-201, and 236-246 for alternative ways to access it.
However, the quest journal is inaccessible until the player actually has a quest to look at. So you need to reveal the objective of at least one quest before it can be opened.
If you don't like that restriction, then you can go to the 2nd last line of the script. It currently shows:

I believe it all stays in the script. Starting after the sample quest, you make one of those for each quest you intend to have in the game, under the editable region. Be sure to change the number in "when #" at the top, so the game knows to distinguish which quest you are on.
You then should activate the quest by script call command, using the ID # you set for it after "when".
*edit*
It should end up looking something like this (taken from the script):

(Sorry, had this posted in the VX forum by mistake. I'm using Ace)
I'm having an issue with the most recent quest I coded in. The "Rewards" line is appearing overlapping the last line of the objectives. None of the other few I have do this. Here is a side-by-side comparison:
http://imgur.com/zSbMvIi http://imgur.com/cr1cOp1
I have the screen set to 640 x 480 through Yanfly's Core Engine, and am using Taurus' Fullscreen++. I don't believe anything else I'm using should affect the screen layout.
Here is the script for the quest that shows up wrong:
when 1004 #Apartment Side Quest q[:name] = "Laundry 'Adventure'" q[:level] = 1 q[:icon_index] = 154 q[:description] = "Get the laundry from the dryer!" q[:objectives][0] = "Get the laundry from the laundry room." q[:objectives][1] = "Bring them to apartment 2B." q[:prime_objectives] = [0,1] q[:client] = "Man in apartment 2B" q[:location] = "Your apartment building" q[:rewards] = [ [:exp, 150], [:gold, 60], [:item, 8, 1] #tentative ] q[:layout] = false
Edit: I think I know what's going on. When I changed the screen resolution, I neglected to change the column widths in the quest journal script. I think it's drawing the rewards line where it thinks it should be based on the resolution, rather than where the text actually would place it based on the column widths. I'll try this when I get home and post.
New Edit: I changed Basic_Data_Width by adding the difference between the default resolution width (544) and the one I was using (640) assuming this would make the right column bigger and hopefully fix this issue. It didn't; the words still wrap at the same places and the Rewards line still overlaps the text in that one quest. Someone please help, this is really bumming me out!

Just that, but I would have in the quest menu, this: "Main", "Secondary" "Finish"," Fail ", I had trouble to use the custom category. The main quest in "Main", secondary quest in "Secondary", etc ... Thank you in advance!

Try following the steps that I outline here: http://rmrk.net/index.php?topic=45127.msg541216#msg541216
Let me know if there is anything you don't understand.

SORT_TYPE = { :all => :id, # Sort type for the All Quests category :active => :change, # Sort type for the Active Quests category :complete => :complete, # Sort type for the Complete Quests category :failed => :failed, # Sort type for the Failed Quests category :secondaire => :change, :principal => :change, } # <= Do not touch.
That would remove Quest 4 from all custom categories. Just replace the 4 with the ID of whatever quest you're completing.
Can i use this script call to remove a quest from :all and :active quest to put in a custom category? The quest is already in the custum category. I suppose to change "custom_categories" with another code.
I'm sorry for my bad english.

HI first thing love your script. Design and all is very well thought and done!
I'm using mog's monogatari menu system (from moghunter/atelier-rgss) but when im going to the quest button and try to enter i get this error
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # * Category OK #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ def on_category_ok; @quest_list_window.activate; end
Can you tell me what im doing wrong or how can i make it work with this menu system i attached menu script also.
EDIT: managed to get it to work had to delete .active and works now. NEW PROBLEM when the quest journal shows it has the default skin. (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.prntscr.com%2Fimg%3Furl%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fds5Kjm9.png&hash=0a45aab83d2281a3ae7a903a9f726dd7f7775a57)

# WINDOWSKIN - The windowskin for each window in the Quest scene. It must # refer to a graphic in the System folder of Graphics. If set to false, then # it will use whatever windowskin is default. If you are using a script which # lets the player choose the windowskin, false is the recommended value. WINDOWSKIN = false # WINDOW_TONE - The tone for each window. It must be an array in the form: # WINDOW_TONE = [red, green, blue, gray] # gray can be excluded, but the other three must be present. If you set this # value to false, then the windows will have whatever tone is default. WINDOW_TONE = false # WINDOW_OPACITY - The opacity of the windows in the Quest scene. If set to # false, it will use the default opacity for windows. WINDOW_OPACITY = false # BG_PICTURE - This is a string referring to a picture in the Picture folder # of Graphics. If set to "", then there will be no picture. Otherwise, it # will display the selected picture below the windows but above the map in # the Quest scene.

Hello, Modern Algebra.
While I was testing my game, I discovered that when you set the objective to about more than 5 objectives, the game will crash. It has something to do with the game interpreter, somewhere in line 1411.
The image is in the attachment.
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on April 25, 2015, 12:08:13 PM
I can set more than 5 objectives without there being any error.
The error you are receiving sounds like an error in whatever code you are using in the Script event command. Please post a screenshot of whatever you have in that command and I will take a look.

EDIT: It seems to work, now! Solved! :D
Awesome script Modern. It works perfectly, but from a moment to another it gives me this error. (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FeUQmAFh.png&hash=8d295ae3af30f737a7e70063768987745775b9f9) It's strange because i don't modify nothing and i don't use any type of picture (icons are correct ;) ). My script is also under my Galv menù themes engine, but i repeat that until one hour ago it works perfectly and now i didn't change nothing! XD For you where is the problem? Thanks :D

I have two queries.
Up until now in my game I have had 2 totally separate parties, using Tsukihime's Party Manager script (found here http://himeworks.com/redirect.php?type=script&name=Party_Manager (http://himeworks.com/redirect.php?type=script&name=Party_Manager)). They have had their own inventories and gold, and - without me having to do anything - their own separate list of quests. This was fine because all side quests could only be discovered and completed by a specific party, they were not shared in any way.
I have just merged the two parties, and their inventories and gold have combined without a hitch. However, the quests of the second party which has been merged into the first party, did not add themselves to the quest list. In one sense this is not the end of the world, because if they haven't completed them I can put blocks on so that they can't go back and finish them as a joint team. However, it would be nice if they did show up. Is this at all possible?
For your convenience I am posting the short script which does the merging because it is not part of Tsukihime's original script.
# Make first party the active party switch_party(id1)
# Delete the second party, as it has been merged delete_party(id2) end end
class Game_Interpreter def merge_parties(id1, id2) $game_parties.merge(id1, id2) end end
My second query is more easily shown in a screen shot (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1323.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fu589%2Fksjp17%2FQuest%2520journal_zpsswjd2qcy.png&hash=cdefffdfc3e134f2ad580415d9c2c98f4674dd31)
As you can see, the last objective is overlaid by the line which separates the objectives section from the rewards section. I also cannot scroll down to see the rewards. It's as if I've used up all the available space for this. Is it possible to extend the length of this down to allow for more objectives (there will be 3 more) and still be able to see the rewards?
Oh, and btw, I have no idea what that line of question marks at the top of the list of quests is all about.
Thank you.

Hi modern algebra! I really like your script, but i have few requests. Can you make possible to change quest location and client via script calls? I am making one huge quest with different quest givers and locations. When one part of quest is completed i will set objective as completed and then i will reveal next objective for next part. For the most of time, quest givers and their locations are different, so i would like to change it via script calls. Can you please consider adding this feature in your script soon?
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: modern algebra on July 29, 2015, 04:18:06 PM
Hi Necrofenser. That is already possible. Just use the following code in a script call:
quest(14).client = "New client" quest(14).location = "New location"
Replace 14 with the ID of the quest you are changing, and of course replace "New client" and "New location" with the names of the new client and location.

One more question. I can't seem to find this on first page of this script, so i have to ask you here. What kind of licence this script have? Free for private use only or it's also free for commercial use too?

hello modern algebra.
i hope, you can help me for my problem^^''
I use the script for quest and also for achievements. At this point, some informations are only visible, when you get it. So i change it with the commands [quest().name = ""] and [quest().location = ""]. The last, i will change is the objective. But how is the command for this, because it can have more than one. I testet this:
Where x is the quest ID and y is the objective ID (starts at 0). However, if all you are looking to do is reveal information sequentially, you could just set it all up in the script itself and use the reveal_objective and conceal_objective codes.
I also received a request from Ziemanin1 to make it so that some quests did not show up in the all, active, complete, or failed categories, and instead only showed up in whatever custom categories they were assigned.
I wrote the following patch for anyone with a similar desire:
#============================================================================== # Remove Quest from Default Categories [Patch for Quest Journal v. 1.0.3] # Version: 1.0.0 # Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net) # Date: October 24, 2015 #++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Description: # # This patch allows you to specify that some quests should ONLY show up in # the custom categories to which they belong, and not in the default :all, # :active, :complete, and :failed categories. #++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ # Instructions: # # Paste this script into the Script Editor below the Quest Journal but above # Main. # # To specify that a quest should only show up in custom categories, include # :only in its custom categories array. For example, if you have a custom # :towns category and you only want the quest to show up in that and not in # the :active and :all categories, then you would put the following when # setting the quest up: # # q[:custom_categories] = [:only, :towns] # # You can set more than one custom category as well. Please note that if you # do not set at least one custom category though, then putting :only in a # quest's custom categories array will make it invisible and inaccessible. #==============================================================================
class Game_Quests #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # * Include? # determines whether to include a particular quest depending on list type #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ def include?(quest_id, list_type = :all) return false if !revealed?(quest_id) return @data[quest_id].custom_categories.include?(list_type) if @data[quest_id].custom_categories.include?(:only) case list_type when :all then true when :complete, :failed, :active then @data[quest_id].status?(list_type) else @data[quest_id].custom_categories.include?(list_type) end end end

Double post cause bragging.
I was on another forum talking with a guy about his Quest plugin for MV.
When I asked if they planned on allowing for a certain feature they replied: "This isn't going to do everything for you!"
Then I realized how awesome this script is.
Thanks for such a contribution MA!

Thanks bluntsword. To be fair though, this script doesn't do all that much in the grand scheme of things. It just lets you display stuff. All the hard work of setting up the quests and progressing them through the game is done by you guys.
Title: Re: [VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3
Post by: bluntsword on October 30, 2015, 03:08:01 AM
Still, this guy only allowed for quests to be modified by variables. Very bare bones in comparison to yours.
Edit - and +1 for using notes in the event instead of call scripts.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I've just recently discovered this script and love it, however I am wanting to use a custom menu script with my game as well, and I was wondering how I would add this Quest Journal to the custom menu script. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about it (also asking the maker of the menu script as well, wasn't sure which one to ask so figured I'd do both and cover everyone lol).

Post by: mariannagr1 on March 28, 2016, 01:32:01 AM
Hi modern algebra I am trying to figure out if there is a way to use the mouse wheel to scroll down the quest info that exceeds the height of the screen, or make a scroll bar appear at the right part of the screen. I can use the arrows on my keyboard but it is not convenient for me since everything on my game will be mouse-able XD. Thank you for the good work!

I love your script. It is super easy for me to use (and I'm a beginner), but I am stuck on how to make it so if you have a running total, it will come up in your quest journal.
By the way, I'm using RPG Maker VX Ace.

This script is fantastic and I love it. No problems with it at all, but I am wondering about a possible feature. Is there any way to hide some of the categories (or even all of them, displaying only the "All" quests) until those categories become relevant? I have custom categories relating to different areas, and I'd like them not to show up in the log until the character has actually visited those areas. Even if this is not possible, thanks already for making such an amazing, useful, versatile script!
