Quest Log - Script

[DRS]

Basically any of these numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200.

 

[DRS]

I was thinking of setting up a speed variable in the editable region and doing a case/when thing.

 

[Zoltor]

That's what I was wondering about. You can increase the variable from 10 to something else as long as it will evenly go into 400.

Yea, I figured it would be super easy to change, It's just a variable afterall, I was just too busy dealing with the other thing, to even look at that part of the script lol.

To your next post: Well that definitely would be helpful for people who know little to nothing about scripts, so if you want to, sure go ahead, in any case it wouldn't hurt.

Otherwise you might end up getting a lot of replies, asking how to change it/where it is in the script.

Yeah, I try not to use magic numbers, but I just added the animation in on the fly lol

I forgot to mention,  I love how you can edit already existing quests in the Quest Log as well. This way you can make a multi stage quest, without technically having to make separate quest entries for each stage, which would also have ruined the order, since it would would've been technically different quests.

I am in the process of updating my quest log script, and am posting some pictures. The finalized version should be up within the next few days. 

I'm having trouble posting images, but they can be found at the link below

I will edit the original post when it is complete with a new link.

Notes:

While a few things have changed the functionality is almost identical as before (OP) only there are four methods now.

$game_system::add_active_quest("Objective", "Description", experience, currency)

  - This will add a new quest to the active quests list

$game_system::add_inactive_quest("Objective", "Description", experience, currency)

  - This will add a new quest to the inactive quests list

$game_system::edit_quest("Objective", "New Objective." "New Description", new_experience, new_currency)

  - This will search both the active and inactive quests to make the appropriate change

$game_system::remove_quest("Objective", faiure=false)

  - This feature allows you to remove a quest from either list, and set it with a pass or fail.

    If you fail the in menu description will read "FAILURE: Quest Description" otherwise it

    will read "SUCCESS: Quest Description."

You will also be able to move quests between the active and inactive lists inside of the quest log.

Hope this clear,

Ask if you have any questions.

Great, I was gonna suggest a completed quest section.

I just have one problem with your additions, if you're gonna add a special box just for rewards, can you make it so we can put items, and equipment in there as well

 

[DRS]

I can definitely give it a shot Zoltor. I believe I may be able to change the method variable from(experience, currency) to an array that accepts a list of items. I'll see what I can do

Ok cool.

Can't wait for Quest Log v1.2, as I've been having problems with the first one

 

[MHRob]

So, are you gonna add the option of having rewards distributed to the player for completing the quest and having those rewards show on the quest window or is that all supposed to be evented? Was just wondering.

 

[DRS]

Sorry I was injured at work last week and haven't been on the computer much. It's nearly finished just have some minor cleaning up to do.

MHRob - the quest log doesn't actually change anything. It only keeps track of information, so it has to be done with eventing.

RubikPanda - what sort of problems were you having?

 

[ZephyrLightningheart]

^^ This is an awesome script. Instead using  it as a Quest one, I decided to change the command menu name to Synopsis. Similar to the ones in the Tales series. 

The sliding menus give it a high tech feel.

 

[MHRob]

I understand the eventing part, but will the info to display what rewards you get for completing whatever quest be shown there with text along with icons or will it just remain a simple, text based quest log?

 

[RubikPanda]

If I attempt to open the quest log I get this error...

Script 'Quest Log By DRS' line 195: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method 'size' for nil:NilClass

And if I talk to an NPC(Event) and start a quest I get this error

Script 'Game_Interpreter' line 1411: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method 'unshift' for nil:NilClass

If you can tell me how to fix it I will be very thankful, it looks amazing anyway and very useful.

Cheers

I believe the problem was that I didn't do checks to see if the object was nil. Don't worry though I've addressed this in v 1.2. I've edited the original post with details, a link, and pictures. I believe you'll like it much better than the first version.

Yes, the Quest Log now does display what rewards you'll get for completing a quest, but does not actually change the actor's inventory. Take a look at my original post for version 1.2.

Thank you. I appreciate it, and it's your choice to change the menu display. In fact, I've added that to the editable region of version 1.2. Make sure to check it out

What are your terms of use for commercial or non-commercial games?

Never mind. I see it's already been posted XD

 

[DRS]

It's free to use. All I want is credit.

 

[DRS]

Has anyone had any troubles?

Hello. I'm actually new to RPGM VXA and I am a noob in scripting. So I just want to ask, how am I going to activate the windowskin to my game? Thanks. Sorry for the inconvenience.
