Custom quest examples / How to make a simple quest

[Mobius]

All russian based packs use many google translated or custom html quests to fill their missing quests.
After the addition of not done quests, we decided to add custom quests to also fill our blanks.

The following quests can be used as templates to make almost any simple go kill, or go talk quest.

Go kill X monsters / Return - Reward.

Get quest from either of two diffrent NPCs / Go kill X monsters / Return - Reward.

Creating a custom quest (or editing an existing one) would require client support, right?

[CostyKiller]

Custom quest refers to quests already in the client that can be added but not fully retail like, if you want to add a new quest or modify one to your needs, client editing is required.

[Pavlov]

What I mean is, let's say one decides to edit an existing quest that requires killing 100 monsters by default, and the in-game quest shows that 100 monsters are required. Now, you change the required monsters to 150 within the quest's Java code on the server side only.


Will the player see that 150 monsters are required in-game because the server files were edited, or will this require client modification?

It will require client mod.
And as said above, not what this post is about.

Is there some article that explains how to update client with custom quest, or alter existing one?

Okay I figured it out, just modify QuestName_Classic-eu.dat file with dat editor and put new quest there.

The guide requires an update. And unfortunately with the most recent chronicles you can't avoid Client modifications. So For Educational purposes Only i offer my experience in Adding a new Quest!

Step 1: Create your quest with a unique ID for this example i will refer to the Quest as "Q98765 - NewQuest"
Step 2: when you have created succesfully your quest and Eclipse is not giving you any errors you can then add the quest's name and import it in the "QuestMasterHandler.java" file.
Step 3: Go to your client and with the help of client editor add the quest on the following .dat files "questname-eu.dat" - "QuestMarkConditionData.dat"

The Following additional steps are for any recent chronicles that utilize the pop up quest windows.

Step 4: Locate in the server files the file named "NewQuestData.xml" and add your quest.
Step 5: Lacate int he client the following files and add your quest "NewQuestData-eu.dat" - "NewQuestDialog-eu.dat" - "NewQuestNpcPortrait.dat".

If i forget something feel free to correct me. This Guide was for educational purposes only.
