Is there an easier way to get the ID of your Icon? Lol. I have a HUGE icon set (over 1000 icons), and it would be incredibly time consuming to go through all the icons, so I'm forced to use no icon for my quests.

[GunZz]

Thx for uploading the demo

[Yanfly]

A really annoying problem here. Quests don't appear in order of their Quest ID.



At first, I wondered if I was going crazy while I was creating my game, but I fired up my test engine and put in these values to test it:

CODE

when 1
name = 'Number 1'
description = 'Number 1'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 2
name = 'Number 2'
description = 'Number 2'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 3
name = 'Number 3'
description = 'Number 3'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 4
name = 'Number 4'
description = 'Number 4'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 5
name = 'Number 5'
description = 'Number 5'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 6
name = 'Number 6'
description = 'Number 6'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 7
name = 'Number 7'
description = 'Number 7'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 8
name = 'Number 8'
description = 'Number 8'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 9
name = 'Number 9'
description = 'Number 9'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

when 10
name = 'Number 10'
description = 'Number 10'
objectives[0] = 'Objective 1'
prime = [0]
icon_index = 1

The results are as shown as in the screenshot I posted just above.
Now, is there any way to sort the array? Every attempt I've tried to do so far has lead me to revel in an undefined [] operation.
Gonna bring this up to his own thread at the other forum, too.

Use that script.

[modern algebra]

No, I don't mind people posting my script elsewhere as long as they give credit, as Rory has done very visibly. I would post them here myself if I had the time to provide support and updates for my script on other forums. In that vein of thought, I would like you to just add a section to the topic like: For Support or to check for a new version, please visit "link to topic on rmrk". That's just so I don't have to run around to every topic everywhere to provide support for my scripts.

@Hanmac - I'm not really used to working with other scripters, but I'm always up for trying something new.

I still don't see the link to modern's quest topic in your OP. (only one that leads to Paragraph Formatter but that's not Quest topic)

Am I missing something?

[Rory]

Woah, something must have went wrong. I added it yesterday.

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,25533.0.html

Must have added it in the wrong thread, nvm, updated again.

@YanFly : Have you tried adjusting the Prime = [???] because all your quests seems to be in value of 0.
Try changing them and etc, might help.

Prime adjusts the objective requirements for the quest to be considered complete. Having a prime of 0 wouldn't affect the sorting order. However, Modern Algebra already solved the ordering issue on the other forum he frequents. For those interested in how it's fixed, I refer you to his post on the other board:

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,25533.msg3....html#msg366003

I also strongly urge users who decide to use this script to fix the ordering problems, too. Poorly organized quest listing is something that is near intolerable for quality RPG's. As far as I can tell, there is no real reasoning for the mismatched ordering of the quest listing outside of blaming Ruby's inefficiency when it comes to arrays and hashes.

I am wondering if it would be possible to make the objective window scroll.
I have a quest that when it gets to the fourth objective I think it is, it goes off the window.
Is this possible or should I split it in to more quests.

Well if you have a lot of objective's, or each objective is long, then you should conceal them. There's a code in the script to make it so certain objectives don't show anymore in the quest log. Say objective 4 is getting cut off, just conceal objective 1 and so on. Once you get to objective 5 conceal #2, and so on.

[Gamerbird]

Oh ok, thanks for that.
