[EO] Quest system - edited

[Robin]

I'm quite unlike other Eclipse developers.

Yes, the bug report forum is the best place to put them if you want me to actually see them.

Indeed you are:)

yes, he even said it was a very very very bad one.  Whenever i try to use it though, i bring up the NPC editor and the quest editor part of it isn't there.  Why is this?

[Zetasis]

After further testing with this I have discovered that for some reason the Reward Item Textbox amount gets set to 0 while the amount of Required Items Textbox is set to what ever the Reward Item was.

I hope this makes sense. If I need to elaborate a little more let me know.

This version of quests must work. I added new Editor NPC and rewrote tutorial.

[delgado88]

If I trying to compile all the window show me "Premission denied"
And " Compile error Variable not defined"

anyone have this problem?

[Helladen]

Why not use Jacob's quest system?

[Zetasis]

If there were a tutorial on how to install it I would.  :cheesy:

[horsehead]

I have a mismatch error if i put a empty QUEST ini in the quest folder but if havent a QUEST ini in my quest folder it does nothing if i attack the npc

[Murdoc]

this is a very convenient edit. just what i needed. thanks!

[Murdoc]

i added this code in, but the npc window editor ends up being too small. is there a way to keep npc spells, and the quest editing part? resize the window?

[Ertzel]

Make the NPC editor window bigger….?

[Murdoc]

for some reason this is not working, i can see the form, but the npc wont talk. when i try to edit the npc for after the first time, i get run time error 13 "type mismatch error"..

This is 100% working quest system for EO, but only for advanced Visual Basic 6 users. If you are noob **you must stop create games without "brain" !!!**

:evil:

[DshWinchester]

if dont try never will learn  ;D

[Sir Cid]

I admire Qazek, he's like the king of coding.

I'm not a complete newb when it comes to vb6\. Anyway, I put the code in all the right spots, created "quests" folder in data folder, created QUEST.ini in there. I managed to resize the window so you can see the editor. So that much is done, but the quests dont work i tell ya. As soon as i attack the quest npc, i get type mismatch error 13 in the server, and it points me to this line of code in "CanAttackNpc":

```
If GetVar("data\quest\" & GetPlayerName(Attacker) & ".ini", "QUEST", "Quest" & Npc(NpcNum).QuestNum) = 0 Then
```
Is it possible this version doesnt work with the latest eo? Other people in here seemed to have the same problem, so im not the only one.

smokeythebear you need to create a new char, because the function try to reads an .ini file that doesn't exist

thanks :)

[Murdoc]

Anyone know how I'd go about slightly altering this code so that instead of displaying messages, it displays custom menus instead?

Custom menus? This is Origins.

I think he meant make a visual quest system , not a text based

yea, i'm not familiar with how eo displays images with text on it. but a visual quest system is exactly what im refering to.

[westin444]

you would have to make a displayquestmsg packet type, and a picture box client side to draw the text to.

[Murdoc]

I have an idea for a quest journal to use with this, but I'm not sure how to put it in exactly…

The idea I had was this:

Make an image on the main menu that calls a sub QuestJournal, let's say.

This questjournal sub checks to see which quests in the playername.ini file are still flagged at 1, but not 0 or 2\. For the ones that are still in progress a mesage would display "You read through the quest journal" or something like that and it would display all the npc messages that you have quests still pending for (from the original quest message before the flag was raised to 1 in the .ini file). Hope that makes sense.

What do you more intelligent coders think, would it be fairly easy to implement this?

Thanks!! :renzo:
