Tidloc's Questlog

[Tidloc 55]

Tidloc' Questlog v.5.5.8
by Tidloc, Ceasar

Introduction
A simple, yet quite powerfull Questlog-script. You can make dynamic descriptions of the Quests, Quests may have Child-quests, you can hand rewards directly via the Questlog and you may categorize your Questlog with nearly infinity categories.

Features

• you may call the Questlog on the map by hitting a predefined Key (for example, in this script is F5 predefined, feel free to change it)
• Questdescription can by made dynamic (HTML-tagging) and as long as you wish. They can always be extended by any text you want. Scrolling the Description with PAGE UP / PAGE DOWN
• Quests may have Child-Quests, entering Child-view with ENTER / C, exiting Childview with ESC / B.
• Quests can be categorized. Changing Category with LEFT / RIGHT
• After solving Quests you may erase them from the Questlog or tag them as solved. But remember, erasing a Quest, also erases all allocated Child-Quests.
• everything you may want to adjust as non-scripter can be made in the first lines of my script within the module Tidloc.
• Questdescriptions can be loaded from external files, located in \Data\Quests\ and have the following name: <Questtitle>.txt (where the Questtitle is the actual Questtitle but without the <>.
• with the enhancements script you may enter scripts internally in the script section and enter them then at will with only their IDs.
• Soundfiles can be played when pressing ENTER on a Quest without children.
• Automatically compatible with my compass-script.
• Automatically compatible with my Message-Box-Script, displaying a big message when a quest is accepted/resolved/removed! (can be disabled by switch). Also Quest may have on-map-notes, that are constantly displayed.
• Both, the compass and and possible on-map-notes can be adjusted to the highlighted Quest by pressing STRG + Enter.
• may be used as Beastiary or alongside with normal questlog when putting enemy info in it's own category.
• the Beastiary can be made to fill automaticly when an enemy has been slain and is completely adjustable
• The text in the description automaticalla wraps at the end of a line (as long as the word itself isn't longer then the width of the description window).

script tidlocs headers line 197: name erroroccurred

uninitialized constant tidloc:: dismantle_key

I've got this problem too And I can't see the attached file

Can you tell me how add new quest ?

///

I'm from Poland, my English sucks and I know it.

[Tidloc 55]

lol, sorry, it seems as if i forgot to attach the file before i went to work, now it's there, regarding the missing key: i'll look into it, i think i jsut forgot one line in the script, that i didn't need myself, as i run all my scripts... ;-)

 

Edit: Yes, just had to enter one more line in my Header-module, sorry for this inconvenience...

Edited February 22, 2012 by Tidloc

[wootch 3]

could you make an exemple plz? where and how to you add quest, sub-quest, etc.

 

is it possible to script them and to add them via event?

[Tidloc 55]

it is meant to add them via event-script-call

Yes, i will upload a Demo, but from yesterday to today my scripts.rvdata2 had become corrupt and now i have to take care for retranslating the other scripts I didn't upload here until now...

Sorry, but please wait for the weekend for that, as I'm quite busy in work atm too.

Am am wondering when you make a demo would you also be able to make a sample quest so I can also see how to make more quests, please.

 

Thanks in advance

So, Demo is up, I hope, it clears all open questions on how to use it.

@Blackwulf: there you'll see, it works, maybe you got symantic flaws?

 

Have fun with it! =))

Hi Tidloc,

 

I've tried the demo, and an error has occured when I talk to the second person, he said: "and by the way, the first quest will be completed now" and took this error:

 

[Blackwulf 0]

Hi okey it works now i ony need to make an new project X3

thank you

 

@KoomaR

 

this Questlog.childadd("1st Quest", "1st Child",

"<small>Here we now added the Child

Quest to the questlog.<line>") to this Questlog.child("1st Quest", "1st Child",

"<small>Here we now added the Child

Quest to the questlog.<line>")

 

The error should no longer come

[KoomaR 0]

Thanks Blackwulf ^^! Although the error wasn't that, but it guided me:

 

This:

 

Questlog.childadd("1st Quest", "1st Child",
"below this line, the description
is added via the command
Questlog.childadd<line>"+
"Now try to toggle the switch!
Switch is <color=white><if=2>ON<else>OFF"+
"</if>")

 

to this:

 

Questlog.childtext("1st Quest", "1st Child",
"below this line, the description
is added via the command
Questlog.childadd<line>"+
"Now try to toggle the switch!
Switch is <color=white><if=2>ON<else>OFF"+
"</if>")

[Tidloc 55]

lol, yeah, I made a mistake with this ^^ I'll change the Demo in that way... ;-)

 

Edit: Demo replaced ;-)

Tidloc.....This is awesome, its really neat and one of the things I am looking for. Thank you

[Tedy Rosganandi 0]

Cool script, but how can I remove the sub quest and bounty quest menu, so there is only one type of quest ?

(sorry for bad english)

Edited March 30, 2012 by Tedy Rosganandi

[Tidloc 55]

if you dont want to use other questtypes, simply replace:

Questlog_cat	  = ["Main Quests","Subquests","Bounty Hunts"]

with:

Questlog_cat	  = ["Main Quests"]

 

or if you want, you can also just write ["Quests"] or [""] or anything you want in between the double quotes

 

please don't apologize for your grammar ^__^ it start to annoy to read it in every post... just do your best and stand to it

[Tedy Rosganandi 0]

Thank Tidloc it's work !!!

[snow 18]

Can I ask something?

 

How can you open the questlog to a specific category index? If I want a separate script or event to open the questlog on it's 3rd category, what do I need to do?

[Tidloc 55]

I will write you a little enhancement.

How would you like to have it? decide with a game varaible, which page shall be opened? or simply with another script-command?

If it was a script command that would be great

[Tidloc 55]

ok, done.

simply download the actual version of the questlog. and if you want to enter it on a different category then the first one, simple write it behind the Scene_Questlog.call like I entered in the FAQ

[Sirius 2]

Heya folks. First off lemme say I really, really like this script Tidloc.

Wanna remind folks that if you're using the script customizing Ln53 might be important to most people

even though it's deeper in the script. And for those of us who are using YF's menu icons script or one similar;

to add the text to the array below Ln57 on that script so you don't have random options missing icons.

hey, thanks for mentioning!

but tbh, I don't know what you want in line 53..57 o_Ó

could you PM me, what exactly you mean and I will make it changeable in the constants ;-)

[Diego Rafael 0]

I got a error runing the demo (im cursed i guess)... when I talk with the blonde guy I get it:

 

[Tidloc 55]

as you may see in Post 11 and 12 of this thread, this isn't a fault in the script, but rather a symantic error I made in the demo... >__>

I have to rewrite and upload a new demo, will be done this afternoon ;-)
