"Simple" Quest log screen

[Irgna]

Sweet, this script fixes the problem I've had with every other Quest Log I've found. I have a question though. I really need this script for my game, but I might be making my game commercial. Besides asking you for permission (which I am doing now) and including you in the credits, what would you require?

[Valcos]

Window_Command line 18 RGGS Error faild to creat bit map? what does that mean?

[Karo Rushe]

Whenever I use the Call Script Command
I get that This Line:

$descriptionm.push "Head to the Temple, and Retrieve The 'Lost Logia' Before Valmar."
number (1)
$objectivesm.push

Saying it cannot be read, error on Nil.

[Sthrattoff]

look at this line :

$objectivesm
make sure to change the m with objective numbers, like:

$objectives1

By the way, is that the old version?
I already updated it. Check this thread.

I'm sorry, but i still don't understand it. Now you can ask what, but that's hard and much to explain, so i want to ask you (i think this sounds kinda rude  ) if you can make a very small demo off this with 2 people and they both give you a quest, and ( of course) you can see that in the quest log, and you must do something and then you see that you're further in the quest. thanks.

[Sthrattoff]

Demo?
Sounds good. I'll make it when I have some time

[Martynator]

Kinda bussy i guess ? 

[Sthrattoff]

I'm busy. A lot.
I'm doing my project by myself...

[swiftdeathsk]

looks good! I understand it pretty well so far, I could make a demo for you i'll get started on it right now!



EDIT: I have taken the liberty and created a demo for this here's the link: http://www.box.net/shared/78qraeztaf
If the scripter or an admin/mod wishes to add this link to the first post, please do.

[swiftdeathsk]

I've got a problem with this script. From what I have figured out, you must do each quest in order because of the $var_ID.push #. The problem is the .push, which basically makes it so that if you skip a quest between, say quest [ 0] and quest [2] (quest [1] basically), then you get an error of "cannot convert nil into String", and the error line is in the 'Window_Line' script on line 40 (this is the line:     self.contents.draw_text(rect, @commands[index]) ). This is a problem for my game because there is no specific order of quests that must be done, which means that using .push for the variable will not work for my game, because (as i have said) the quest can only be done in order... is there any way someone could help by making the $var_ID.push ID_NUMBER be similar to the $name variable in the sense that it goes like this: $var_ID[QUEST_ID] ID_NUMBER

[Inunah]

I know this may seem dumb, but..

Where do you put that script?

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,263.0.html

[hero_kenshi]

i have the same problem as swiftdeathsk
also... my objextives are long descriptions and id prefer not to make them short cause most dont fit into the place where you type the objextives in that little box thing is there a way a can have more than one box... if you understand wat im asking

P.s gotta love the beas 

[DarkEmmisary]

Could you make an example for as what to put in the call script command?

eg. for quest "The Dark Side"

type: Sidequest

Description: Frank wants me to gather the materials for his new experiments

Objectives: Gather Materials: King's Weed, Fireroot, Dead Leaves

[Sthrattoff]

example, call script event command:
<code>
$names.push "The Dark Side"
$description.push ["I need something", "To become Darth Vader"]
$objectives.push ["Kill Palpatine", "Kill Yoda"]
</code>

 :(help, i am using this script in my game, and i edited the menu so that you could have this where save normally is, as i am saving from events, i came to test my firsts ave event, and it gave me this error

Script 'quest log' line 161: argument error occured.
wrong number of arguments(0 for1)

whats wrong?
help!!!

[destiny]

i am using version 2.3 and im getting an error 


Script 'Window_Command' line 18:RGSSError occurred.
Failed to create bitmap


self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, @item_max * 32)

can someone tell me what is wrong?

[Sthrattoff]

Hold on. I'll rewrite everything. Seems take some days...

[destiny]

finaly a reply 
thank u for the reply
thanks in advance for re-writing the script

[Sthrattoff]

So far...

It's quite simpler, and use no global variables (which that means less RAM usage, or so experts says), but I didn't put method to write the description yet, I'm still confused how to get the paragraphs looks good. And then, on my calculation, for a moment (until I update this script again), don't make a subquest MORE THAN 8. Otherwise, the other subquest (objectives) will not shown.

Usage:
$game_system.(properties).push details # to add quest detail. for objectives, push in form of array.

To call:
$scene = Scene_Quest.new

Because this is the specific version (for usage on Symphony of Alderra : Hourglasses And Memories, which is older name was Symphony of Alderra : Memoirs of Life), so on the Scene_Quest's def update, change $scene = Scene_Menu.new(2) to $scene = Scene_Map.new if you didn't planning to integrate this script to your CMS. And, I didn't test it yet. If you found error please PM me.
