Features

• Simple UI to keep track of quests with some customization options
• Friendly commands to track/complete/fail/reset/count/progress quests
• Auto rewards upon quest completion (optional)
• Quest categories (optional)
• Full blown quest editor included

YOU are a legend i have been waiting for this fantastic will check it out now

 

This looks great, cant wait to test it out!

 

There's even a quest editor program? That is legit! This is the greatest thing ever! A must have for any project for sure! Nice one

 

Yey, finally...

Quest system for MV

Nice job :3

 

Umm.... I wasn't going to use a quest log, but now I think I might have to. This is simply too cool. Thank you!

 

Is the root log just the Documents/Games/[name of game]?

 

Sounds good...I guess I ll try to put some work in the layout graphics. But that ll be fine

Btw. I dont c any terms of use

 

@gameusguyus what is your future plans? 

 

 
Yes. 

 
I'll put those now. 

Not entirely sure yet. I really wanted to look into other tilemap options as I really don't like the mapping style from VX/Ace/MV.

 

This is amazing and the editor wow! coooool

Only thing I think is missing is the ability to change description of quests when completing objectives, I hope that makes sense

 

It it possible to make it show Yanfly's Gold Icon instead of G for gold?

 

Nice! I wasn't even thinking about this but this looks so good I might have to put a quest system in my game now XD. Seriously though, thanks so much for making this, this is just awesome (and the quest editor reminds me of Mobius' for RMXP)

 

That is Beautiful! Great work Gameus. I cant wait to get MV so I can play with this!

 

 
I'll add a friendlier plugin command later but for now you can do this.

$gameQuests.get(quest_id).desc = "New description here" 

I'll look into it and try to squeeze it in the next update.


If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to share your ideas. I won't add/implement everything, but I wouldn't mind adding more things to this.


EDIT: Dat hi res screenshot do

I think it runs really well took me a bit of getting used to and angered me as I was wondering why I didn't have complete wrote accross my quest then realized I needed to have a completed image and edited the plug in part.

For some reason I don't seem to have the ALL section in the top left. So will need to find out why.

Where it says all can that switch left and right so it says: ALL, COMPLETED, FAILED, STORY,GATHERING. etc?

 

Hey, gameus, I figured I would mention something. I started using your plug in (loving it btw, that seperate program you made is so organized and wonderful) and I noticed something. In the help file of your plug in, it says in order to start a quest, you write:

Quest Add quest_id

Activates a quest.

Maybe I was just being dumb but I wrote:

Quest Add quest_1

which is incorrect. I then saw in your demo the correct format is:

quest add 1

So, idk, maybe I was just being dumb but thought I would mention that I found it a bit confusing, but after I figured it out, it's all working and it's a beautiful plug in so far and you did a really great job!

 

 
 I was thinking about making it so you'd cycle through all categories, but then I realized that there could be a lot of quest categories to go through. Someone, for example, could have a category for each city in their game, along with story, crafting, gathering, treasure hunting, etc.... If someone has 20+ categories in their game, it'd take awhile to cycle through all categories. That's why I had decided to go with All, Progress, Completed, Failed and then have sub-categories in the actual quest list window.


As for why it's not showing the "All" window, if you zip up your "js" folder and send it to me, I can take a look at it.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'll change the help right now so it's not confusing.

 

No need to apologize, I'm just happy I can help in some way. I'm fiddling around with the plug in more and I have to say, it's very organized, easy to use, and just really well made all around. The work you put into this is very much appreciated!

 

I will definitely be using this in my future MV project. The quest editor looks pretty dang sweet too. It's nice that you can set the rewards right in the editor. Great work!
