I know, it's just I need that part to finish my game.

What do you want... you can't force him!

BUMP

[Sthrattoff]

Please wait until I remake the updater or the 2nd version of this script.

[Wafflekid]

Fine...

[Sthrattoff]

Alright, the 2nd version is going to published...

Finally

[Sthrattoff]

This is it. But not perfect (yet...)

# Quest Log Screen
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ** Version 2.0
# ** Original by Sthrattoff
#=============================================================================
# Description :
# This script enables the ability to show current active quest.

# Features :
# SIMPLIFIED! Now the script is just about 300 lines length.
# Unlimited amount of quest can be added.
# Still use variable to mark quest's progress.

# Limitation :
# Only can store up to 12 progress per quest.

# History :
# Version 1.0 : Initial release.
# Version 1.2 : Add "Types" features.
# Version 2.0 : Changes in programming style and infinite quest support.

# Instruction
# Just put this script above main.

# Configuration :
# To add quest, use Call Script command and type this :
# $names.push "quest name" for the quest's name
# $types.push "quest type" for the quest's type (main or sidequest or something)
# $descriptionm.push "quest description line m" for the quest's description. m is the line
# number (1-5)
# $objectivesm.push "quest objectives m" for the quest's objectives. m is the objective
# number (1-12)
# $var_ID.push value for the quest's game variable marker ID
# To end a quest, set the marker variable's value to 12

[modern algebra]

This is a great script. I know it's from a while back but I'd like to recommend it for Scripts Database. Any mods around?

[Blizzard]

I'm in the credits?
Can't remember that I did something in this script. I only remember making you that other Quest logger, but I don't see any code from it in your script, lol! *moves*

EDIT:

I updated your first post, BTW.

[Karo Rushe]

Wondering...
How do I make it so when the Player finished the Quest it puts as Mission completed or something like that ?_?

[modern algebra]

# To end a quest, set the marker variable's value to 12

[Karo Rushe]

# To end a quest, set the marker variable's value to 12

?_? The Marker Variable? I have to set in the Variable a 12?

[modern algebra]

yeah, $var_ID.push value identifies an in-game variable which is used to mark progress in a quest. i.e. if you put $var_ID.push 1, then variable 001 is used to mark progress.If you set that variable to 12, it should disable the quest. At least, that's what I understand from the instructions. It might be better if you ask Sthrattoff though, as he can help you better than I can.

[Sthrattoff]

First of all, I apologize for my terrible English...
modern algebra is right!
Blizzard : Oh, perhaps you're forgot if you're teach me, not givin' the code.

And...
Here's the version 2.2!

        end
      end
    end
  end
 
  def update
    refresh
  end
 
end


And before you're call the script, use this :

Code Select Expand


size = $names.size
  for i in 0..size
    var = $var_ID[i]
    if $game_variables[var.to_i] >= 12
      $names.delete_at i
      $types.delete_at i
      $description.delete_at i
      $objectives.delete_at i
      $var_ID.delete_at i
    end
  end

Personally, I used this script on the initialize method on Scene_Menu.
And still... Set the variable to 12 to disable the quest.

[Blizzard]

Awesome, you've shorten it even more!
BTW, you don't need to give me credit for my help, lol!

[Valcos]

I used the other script of this..but now I dont know how to open the quest log Also where do you put the  # $names.push "Name"   things?

[Karo Rushe]

class Scene_Quest
 
  $names = []
  $types = []
  $description = []
  $objectives = []
  $var_ID = []
 

My Question, is this the Configuartion part? For Each Quest?

[Sion_Barzad]

I don't understand ANY of it! 
Some help would be appericated!

[Sthrattoff]

Example, if you want to add quest named "Welcome to the Black Parade", you must use this syntax

Code Select Expand

$names.push "Welcome to the Black Parade"

Information, Id of variable used to control quest progress must be saved on $var_ID

Code Select Expand

$var_ID 4 # 4 is the variable's id

To enter those code, use Call Script event command.

[Sthrattoff]

I found some bugs.
To fix it, please add this line on Scene_Save below the last line of Marshal.dump

Code Select Expand


Marshal.dump($names, file)
Marshal.dump($types, file)
Marshal.dump($description, file)
Marshal.dump($objectives, file)
Marshal.dump($var_ID, file)
Marshal.dump($end_val, file)


and this one below the last line of Marshal.load on Scene_Load

Code Select Expand


$names = Marshal.load(file)
$types = Marshal.load(file)
$description = Marshal.load(file)
$objectives = Marshal.load(file)
$var_ID = Marshal.load(file)
$end_val = Marshal.load(file)


and this one somewhere on new game method on Scene_Title

Code Select Expand


$names.clear
$types.clear
$description.clear
$objectives.clear
$var_ID.clear
$end_val.clear


Any question can be pointed to me or Blizzard.
It will fix when you play a new game...

Hey, Sthrattoff, I have a better idea. Use the Game_System class for your extra variables. That way they'll get saved automatically. (~_^)d

[spoiler=Template for add stuff to Game_System]

Code Select Expand

class Game_System
 
  attr_accessor :better_than_another_global_number
  attr_accessor :better_than_another_global_string
  attr_accessor :better_than_another_global_boolean
  attr_accessor :better_than_another_global_array
 
  alias init_your_script_whatever initialize
  def initialize
    init_your_script_whatever
    @better_than_another_global_number = 12345
    @better_than_another_global_string = "54321"
    @better_than_another_global_boolean = true
    @better_than_another_global_array = [1, "That's", " ", "sweet.", true]
  end
 
end

Reference is of course $game_system.better_than_another_global_number, etc.

Look under 6 a)

[Sthrattoff]

Just open the menu script, find this code

Code Select Expand

s6=exit #Or whatever, I forgot
and add this line:

Code Select Expand

s7="quest"
on update command, below when 5's statement and end, add

Code Select Expand

when 6
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
$scene=Scene_Quest.new

Still not understand? Ask blizzard. He explain better.

In the tutorial section, stickied topic "Blizzard's little Tricks", look under 6. a) if you didn't get what Sthrathoff said.
