0.3 Quest System

Hello,

This time I'll explain a bit how the new system exactly works.
At begining, I would like to point, its based of Gesior idea, however it was completely rewritten and tested.

How it exactly works and what's the difference
The system is completely different from old one. In the old one, you could give player only one reward, only from chest and storage key had to be exactly same, as item id, so you couldn't do two quests for same item.
Here, you may give reward player with any amount of items, 'from' any item (not only container!) and you are controling what storage key should be used- everything from your map edtior!

Here's a screenie from Gesior- please note to not follow steps on this screenshot as its outdated:

and a bit old from me:


Basic usage
You have to place on map a chest... Oops, sorry, ANYTHING! Then, set for it an actionid 2000 and uniqueid you wish, but watch out- it will be used as storage for player!
Now, if the item is not a container, just save your map and run on server- reward will be a clone of the item you've used.
If not, then put to the container item(s) you wish to be as reward(s).
Follow the save and run part, and poff, you've just designed a quest!

Advanced usage
You want an advanced quest, where you can pick only 1 reward? No problem! But, it will be a bit harded.
Follow the #Basic usage# instructions, but instead of actionid 2000 set an id you wish (Remember: actionid has to be above 2000 and free!) and do not set any uniqueid.
Now, enter data/actions/scripts/quests and open system.lua.
In specialQuests table add the following:
where actionid is actionid you have used above, and storageid is storage key you want to be used for your quest.
Save and close the file.
Time to update data/actions/actions.xml - find out:
Again save, close and follow the save-run-test part from #Basic usage# :thumbup:

(Optional)Quest experience:
You want your players to obtain experience from new quest? Easy!
Enter data/actions/scripts/quests, open system.lua and in questsExperience table add the following:
where storageid is storage key you are using for your quest- in case of:
a) advanced quest- its pre-defined key by you, some lines above; b) basic quest- its uniqueid you've set in map editor;
and experience is amount of experience points players should gain.
Save and close the file.

Hope this will help someone though, the system is very easy to understand.

It's great! Thanks Elf! :thumbup:

Wow looks very nice!

what i can say? it's awesome ...as always

Awesome, even if I didn't get it

maybe im just retarded but i don't understand that explanation. im sure ill get it once i see if on the release and can mess around with it myself

by elf ... tigaiehi : D

Elf = da pauwn plx

The old quests will work with the new system? (uniqueid = itemid on the chests..)

nozry =(
but you can still use old quest system!

I can't understand the new quest system very well, I tried to make poi rewards i.e avenger, arbalest and arcane staff and only choose 1 etc but it didn't work for me. The new system is obviously better than the old one but could you explain it some more so I can figure out how to use it...


Yea i'm noob! o/

call me a noob but i dont quite get it
say i wanted to make a quest that gives DSM do i put

CHEST: Actionid:2000
Uniqueid:2492 --DSM ID

or do i put the dsm in the chest on the map editor with action id2000 and make the unique id a random number?


and wtf do i do with systems.lua, how to hell do i use it?

Put the dsm into chest(any container or even just simple dsm with actiondid and unique xd) in map editor, use actionid 2000 to chest and ANY FREE uniqueid. Quest done. Anyway, this system is a bit bugged yet, if Elf give me permission to post fixed version of system.lua or post it himself, then it will work 100%(in those version of system.lua, there are some little bugs, as I remember you cannot put 1 item in container(it works with with some items), also it not 100% displaying the reward(if there is fs + dsm, it will show just fs))

I don't know why but new system doesn't working for me.
I made a chest:
And put into it one item (halberd). I tried to "Open" chest and... nothing. Is possible that linux client have bug?

@edit: With more than one item is the same problem.
@edit2: Without any item too :/

no i had the same problem.... im on normal windows xp

I made a chest:

Code:

22:09 You see a chest (Vol:15).
It weighs 120.00 oz.
ItemID: [1749].
ActionID: [2000].
UniqueID: [50010].

And put into it one item (halberd). I tried to "Open" chest and... nothing. Is possible that linux client have bug?

1. GM's cannot open chests.
2. Did you put items to chest?

@1: You should add it to first post All works.

There's small issue with it:
but I got 3 items Fare-Fray has right.

Using the system, When I open the quest chest it loots a chest with the item inside, how do i make it loot just the item?

Did you set uid and aid? (aid = 2000; uid - free storage value)

Yeah, added item inside chest in map editor, set action id to 2000 and then my unique id values are 3700 - 3800 which i double checked are free
