Game_Stailer94´s Quest System

[game_stailer94]

So because Gameus made a Quest System with potential, I recreated the Editor and Fixed the JS Plugin.


Version: 1.3.3


Windows Smartscreen may Warn you.


Mac Gatekepper will tell you that the app is from an Untrusted Developer, sadly


100% Compatible with Gameus JS Plugin.


IF YOU GET AN ERROR, PASTE A COPY OR A SCREENSHOT HERE!


Get the latest Build here: quest.gamestailer94.de/download


The new Download Page will give you the correct File for your OS.


If you still want to download other Files get them on Github (link on end of Post)


If you get an error with MSVCP140.dll, you need to install this: https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=48145


My Priorities are "Fix Bugs" over "Adding Features", so I will try to fix most Bugs before pushing new Features out.


The JS Plugin is Included.

[*]Quest Open

• 
  This opens up the quest log. Alternatively, there's a script call you can use below.
  
  

Script Commands:

Spoiler

SceneManager.push(Scene_Quest)


This opens up the quest scene, for those who enjoy script calls or are using it in a different plugin



$gameQuests.get(quest_id).completed()
$gameQuests.get(quest_id).failed()
$gameQuests.get(quest_id).inProgress()
These calls are used to check the progress of a quest
Note, even if the party does not have the quest yet, these will return true/false.

$gameParty.hasQuest(quest_id)
This is how you check if the party has activated the quest yet. Use in conjunction with the above script calls

$gameParty.hasQuests([quest ids], filter)
Not to be confused with the one above, this checks multiple quests the party has and see if they match the filter.
Filter can be "progress", "completed", or "failed"
Returns true if all the input quests match the filter AND the party has them active. e.g. Can be used to see if the party has completed a range of quests before moving on

$gameQuests.get(quest_id).currentStep == step_number
This is how you check which step a quest is on. step_number starts from 0. NOTE: This will still return a number even if the quest hasn't been activated.

$gameQuests.get(quest_id).status == "status"
This will return what status the quest is. "status" can be "progress", "completed", or "failed"

$gameQuests.totalQuests(filter)
This gets you a total number of quests by the filter. Filter can be "all", "progress", "completed", or "failed". This applies to all quests.

$gameParty.totalQuests(filter)
Does the same as above, but only applies to the quests that the party has.

$gameQuests.get(quest_id).stepStatus(StepId)
Return Status of Step, can be "default", "completed" or "failed"

AWESOME!!! You rock! Words can't describe how excited I am for this. Just a curiousity, does this follow the same terms and conditions as Gameus' dropped version? Can I do a basic duplicate and rework for both a quest system and a codex system? Keep up the great work

Codex System sounds cool, if you tell whats excatly it should do I may be able to help you or built it for you.


As i´m pretty good with JS (Website dev) I may be faster

Yes it reads that file, as I wrote it´s 100% compartible with the old one

 

[BlueDragon]

So cool that you continue developing this plugin!


Is there a way to set in spaces / breaks in the text ( like <br> in HTML)? If not, I would love to see such option! : )

 

[DarkSearinox92]

I've installed the editor via Setup but it don't ask me to update the JS plugin. Is it normal?

 

[takashi1kun]

are you going to add a way to autotrack if a task is completed?

 

[Cherry-sama]

This may seem like a stupid question, but if we're not supposed to use the Beta 1, then how do you use the Beta 2? I don't see a link to that anywhere.


Also...um...can someone walk me through installing this? I'm a mega n00b at programming and the like. >.<

 

[game_stailer94]

no, unless you have my js plugin allready installed (the editor will only ask you if you want to update if you allready selected a project dir)

So cool that you continue developing this plugin!

It SHOULD use normal line breaks (from the textbox), but just for the description, as the steps and rewards are auto breaked in multiple lines

Okay, so I downloaded the exe file because I use Windows, and I get this lovely little message when I try and boot it up.


"The program can't start because MSVCP140.dll is missing from


your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."


I reinstall the program, and try running the exe from both my "Downloads" folder and from within my game folder and no dice. What should I do? Should I be downloading a different one?

 

[game_stailer94]

you are missing this, install it and then everything should work

works on all window from xp up

 

[Cherry-sama]

works on all window from xp up

Okay, whew. Was panicking there for a second. I'll let you know if I have any more trouble from here on out.


I seem to have gotten it to work, but I'm a bit confused by some of these settings...


First of all, are variables how you mark progression? If there is another way, then how do I turn the variable part off?


Basically, I would love a tutorial on this menu...

Got you covered, atm I´m in preparation of recording one

Got you covered, atm I´m in preparation of recording one  

Oh. Okay. Thank yooouu~ (I'm also thinking of doing a tutorial after I got everything figured out.)


Also, I've been playing around a bit, and have been figuring things out okay. One thing, though. There doesn't seem to be a way to make a Step appear unless you do the NextStep command. This hasn't been bothering me, since I haven't needed to show steps out of order, but I know I need this later. Could you do a command similar to Quest CompleteStep QuestID StepID or Quest FailStep QuestID StepID or Quest ResetStep QuestID StepID? Only where you can make any of the steps manually appear whenever?


I know it sounds weird, but I would really appreciate this function. There's a later quest in my game (porting from VX Ace) where I had one quest have two branching parts, and something like a manual "Step Appear" function is crucial in making it.
