[VXA] Quest Journal 1.0.3

[iVarlix]

Nothing!
If you see one or spelling mistakes, given the knowledge!
[spoiler="Window: Add a reward"][/spoiler]
Still under development, must have patience because a lot of improvement and planned for the V3!

[yuyu!]

Just a couple spelling errors or things that I'm confused about.

"Quete" should be "Quest",  "Proprietes" should be "Properties", "Lieu" should be "Location", I think. Hope that helps!

Not sure what "Teinte" means, though. ;_; Maybe "Hue" ?

Otherwise, it looks pretty good!

[iVarlix]

I just finished the translation of the main window and rewards!
[spoiler="Software translates to 25%"][/spoiler]
If all goes well, he shall go out next week!
For Properties, I have to modify codes for taking into account the language select!
The teinte signifies the color of the picture, I think!
Google translate tells me it's color or hue!
Word I put?

[yuyu!]

"Tint" works great!

This is a great script you have here. It is the last one that I am going to incorporate. (At least at the moment.) But I am recieving the below error everytime I try to call the sample quest. 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.

---Error---
Script'Quest Log' line 1977: NoMethodError occurred.
undefined method 'each' for true:TrueClass

[modern algebra]

Hmm, well your line 1977 and my line 1977 might be very different depending on what your customization looks like. Could you show me your lines 1972-1982?

[Goofygooberbro]

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

I am also calling the sample quest by using quest(1). It seems to be adding the quest because the link in the menu works, but it errors when opening.

[modern algebra]

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?

[Goofygooberbro]

Thanks modern algebra. You nailed it. I'm not quite sure why I changed that, and the answer was in your script. I'm sorry to have bothered you. I do appreciate the help though.

[Chaos17]

I've a suggestion : can you make an option like in mmorpg ? Where we see the goal of the quests ?



But the problem will be the number to display on the screen... In World of Warfract, they let player choose wich quests to display.
This is just an idea...

[iVarlix]

Good for V3, will take time!
What for?
Quite simply, I prefer to make sure we can use the software on multiple operating system!
So I had to go in another programming language!

I'll let you guess!

[DownScale]

Hey firstly thanks for this awesome script, secondly my question!

Whenever I try to put a \v

• i get a strange icon and the
• is displayed, not the actual variable I'm trying to show. Is it possible to display variables within an Objective? 
  
  Thanks!

Hey, it should be. But you might need to use a double backslash. In other words, \\v

• and not \v
• ..

  I am looking forward to seeing it. I'm not a good guesser though

  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.

[iVarlix]

I try to learn more about the Java language!
So I recode everything in java, its may take some time to convert the C # language in Java!
If someone knows more about the language of java, I would like to help me convert!

[mikablu]

Hey.

Firstly, this is an awesome script and I absolutely LOVE it!~

Secondly, is there a way to implement a "Quest Board" kind of thing where the MC could see a list of available quests and choose which ones to take?  (I'm sure there's a way to do this with events, but I can't figure it out and was wondering if it's something that you might be able to add in.)

[LordTimotheus]

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?

[modern algebra]

Yes to both. You just need to create and use custom categories. See this post 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

[BCj]

How can I create a notice/quest board where the player can read quests and accept them?

[modern algebra]

That is not currently a feature in this script. Sorry.

[paulskie2433]

Is this free for commercial games?

[UnendingEmpire]

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.

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.

Code Select Expand

      when 2
          q[:name]              = "Road Closed"
          q[:level]             = 2
          q[:icon_index]        = 262
          q[:description]       = "Some bandits have set up a toll north of Azrim.  Don't let them have their way."
          q[:objectives][0]     = "Get rid of the bandits"
          q[:objectives][1]     = "Report back"
          q[:prime_objectives]  = [1]
          q[:custom_categories] = []
          q[:banner]            = ""
          q[:banner_hue]        =
          q[:client]            = "Woman"
          q[:location]          = "Azrim Gates"
          q[:common_event_id]   =
          q[:rewards]           = [
          [:gold, 500],
          ]

[modern algebra]

It's because of the lien right above it:

Code Select Expand


          q[:common_event_id]   =


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:

Code Select Expand


          q[:common_event_id] = q[:rewards] = [[:gold, 500]]


and q[:common_event_id] has to be set to an integer, not an array.

[UnendingEmpire]

Ah, I see.  Thanks a bunch
Awesome script by the way.

[H2SJaeger]

Dunno if it's been asked, but does the script automatically give out the quest rewards when completed, or is it just for display?

[DEAD KARL]

Every time I try run the game this error appears, I have tried deleting the comments but that never worked so I just inputted the whole thing back into the script editor and error still appears. Any ideas?

Thanks
DEAD KARL
