Thought I would make a tiny guide on using mapquest for quests instead of Qfunction for 2.3 files, as using Qfunction a lot makes M2 thrown down it's best dolly.
This can be used for killcounts, item collection, almost anything.
First we will start off with the NPC. Make a folder inside Market_Def folder called namelists. This will hold all namelists for all your quests.
Inside make 2 new text docs for this quest named, omaquest and omadone
Now for this all to work, you need to go to M2Server/Envir/QuestDiary/ and add a new folder named Variables and then inside the variables folder make a new text doc named Integral. (If they are not already there.)
To load this quest variable for when people log on in the middle of doing the quest you must add this bit to Envir/Mapquest_Def/QManage.txt;under the [@Login], only use one [@Login] for everything in Qmanage.
Next, goto M2Server/Envir/Mapquest_Def and make a new text doc
named omakills. This text will be triggered when a player kills an Oma during the quest and when they've killed enough it will tell them plus turn the quest off as far as the killing part goes. (turns flag 20 off)
To trigger the above script, go to M2Server/Envir/MapQuest.txt and add this below the last entry;
0 = Map name where quest mob will be killed, in this case Bichon.
[20] 1 = means this flag must be on to trigger script.
Oma = Mob being killed.
* = If an item is required to trigger the script.(item in bag) you would put that here, in this quest no item so it will be left as a *
omakills = script to run from MapQuest_def folder above.
It should all work from here and should be damn easy to make numerous quests by following this outline.
Preacher and others have made a guide like this also-
But seeing as people hate to use search function, thought I would redo it so it's up front, plus I was bored. :blush:
