Hmmm...

Will this not run as is? I'd actually give that a try.

No. XP uses $scene for scene control. This has to be converted.

I have already attempted this and I'm still not good enough to get it on the first try.

It partially works. But I have to put the script into an xp demo to see how it is supposed to work.

Right now my conversion will open the journal and present the titles, but not scroll or do anything else.

(preserving the script function by switch control)

 

*Update - so far I can either make the selectable lines the number of quests lines or 1

The script doesn't seem to do anything except display the active journal (quest) entries.

If it is just a display then you could just have it as a static display.

Otherwise. I just about done with this. I have too much other work to do.

 

Here is a static display script version
