Quest Journal v. 2.1

[modern algebra]

I don't know what MOG's Scene_Menu is. Link?

I'm guessing he's overwritten Window_Help.

[Selacius]

Fixed it. Seems that all I needed was a clean copy of the menu script. I must've fiddled with something.

[modern algebra]

I'm glad to hear it.

[Selacius]

I hope you don't mind that I adjusted a few things on the quest journal so it fits with the template for the MOG menus. Also I am curious how I could add a wait in the script, more so the part where the objectives get updated. As I said earlier I am modifying the script so it automatically gives out experience and gold rewards if they are defined. I am also getting it to work with Khai's Item Found script, in which you call everything individually, but in order for the script to display every reward there needs to be a delay between calling the command. Any idea how I could add one? I've tried wait() but it does not work.

[klonoa23]

This is a great script, I was just wandering is there anyway to not make a quest show up in the "Show all quests" tabs or can you gid rid of that tab all together? I want to do this also with the failed tabs list too.

[modern algebra]

Well, you can conceal quests entirely, but I take it you want the other categories to still show the quest.

In any case, no, there is no way built in to the script. I'd have to do a couple minor mods first.

[klonoa23]

Ok no big deal, just wandering lol. Great script real easy to use, now that i got the hang of it I guess.

[lomastul]

hello, modern algebra.
i once used atoria's "Uber quest log" and it had some features i really liked like: a "!" picture floating above the head of an npc that got a quest for you, a name above the npc's and the main hero, and an icon with a "V" that is displayed inside the quest menu when a quest is done.
but then i started to use your quest system because it's user friendly and quite easy to use + it looks better on the menu and it's awesome.
so what i wanna ask is:
is it possible that you can add any of the features that atoria's "Uber quest log" had into you quest system?
here's the script made by atoria [in case that you'll need it]:

Can you give me just screenshots of it?

I won't do it soon, but I am planning to make a version 2.0 of this script. I can add those features onto the list. Or else just make another script that will operate separate from the quest journal.

[lomastul]

ok here how it looks in the menu:

[spoiler][/spoiler]

[spoiler][/spoiler]

here's how it looks on-map:

[spoiler][/spoiler]

here's how the event page looks like [QDname] shows on map "name":

[spoiler][/spoiler]

and here's the icons it uses:





and for some reason i cant get the "quest2" icon to work when the quest is in my quest list :/

[klonoa23]

the uber quest og script is good but i don't really like how the quest a set up. (the numbering system). I find it rather confusing, but on the other and it menu itself and the way it functions and looks is great tho. I found modern's first and is sticking with this  . Now a 2.0 ver seems likes it gonna get even better.

[Orthone]

Can I ask one thing? Im trying to get more options on my window, but I don't know what to put here..
def create_command_window
    s1 = Vocab::item
    s2 = Vocab::skill
    s3 = Vocab::equip
    s4 = Vocab::status
    s5 = Vocab::            <------
    s6 = Vocab::crafting
    s7 = Vocab::save
    s8 = Vocab::game_end

I want that empty box to open the Quest Journal.. What do I put here?

[modern algebra]

umm... you could just put:

s5 = "Quests"

Or whatever.

[Orthone]

That gives me a error..

script 'Redefinitions' line 63: NameError occured.
uninitialized constant Vocab::Quests

No.. "Quests" give me this error..

Script 'Main' line 10: NoMethodError occured.
undefined method `main' for #<Game_Quests:0x1a3f3f0 @date={}>

[modern algebra]

don't put Vocab at all.

Just

s5 = "Quests"

[Orthone]

No.. "Quests" give me this error..

That's because you did this:


        $scene = Game_Quests.new


It should be:


        $scene = Scene_Quest.new

MA, you are the god at scripting!   

[Black Olrac]

is there an option where done quest are removed of the quest log?

would be awesome else if you can make it so that new quest in one screen and a log of done quest in another screen

[modern algebra]

you can conceal quests with the command:

$game_quests[quest_id].concealed = true

It would look weird though.

I don't really get the 2nd proposition, the quests can already split by categories. If you are looking at the active quests tab then you are only looking at current quests. If you're looking at the Finished quests tab then you are only looking at finished quests. I don't see why you would want a separate scene.

sorry about being unclear i mean automaticly, so not to put in after each quest that command.
script based more
also if possible can you make the view more tree looked like, now its

-----------
-----------
-----------

even subquest are lined under these, what would give a clearer overview when doing multiple quest at a time s tree look

-----------
   -----------
   -----------
      -----------
-----------
-----------

and last part can you give the quest giver a sign above there head, a bit like WOW like grey sign not completed or item done yellow for completed item or task done but not  turned in and blue for as example new quest available???

[codemeister1990]

where do you make the quests in the script?
At what point I mean

[Black Olrac]

after the examples quest,

[codemeister1990]

ahh, ok thanks

Hey MA, this is an amazing script. It's much better than other quest log scripts I've seen. There's one thing I hope you can help me with. In my game, you can't fail a quest. So, is there a way just to conceal that option and only have the 'All Quests', 'Current Quests', and 'Completed Quests' menus available?
