ALRIGHT so I know this is a TERRIBLE necro post but I have added functionality to this to make it more available for those who have or wish to add this script to their Scene_Menu. First, I will describe how to use it.
in your scene menu, in the update_command section (where you added the functionality for it to go to the quest log and made it play the sound effect), you will make it look like this (replacing the "3" with whatever case it is in your script):
when 3 # Quest Log
# Play decision SE
if $game_party.quests_avail == false
$game_system.se_play($data_system.buzzer_se)
return
end
$game_system.se_play($data_system.decision_se)
# Switch to save screen
$scene = Scene_Quest.new
That is only step one. You will want to also grey-out your Quest Log option(more than likely, unless you are a trickster and like to prank the people who play your game into thinking its broken...). Do so like this (again, replacing "3" with whatever case it is in your script):
if $game_party.quests_avail == false
#disable quest log
@command_window.disable_item(3)
end
Now, your menu is finished. Now you need to update your quest log script. Here is the quest log script as I have it now (any updates to this quest log made after the version I grabbed will not be available with this functionality unless it was already added and I was not privy to such information).

#
# Instructions:
# Scroll down a bit until you see # Being Config. Follow the instructions there.

#
# Script Calls:
# Quest.add(id) ~ Adds the quest(id) to the parties quests.

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