[Question] About quests

[swarm133]

I am trying to make a quest that can be done several times. And for the quest dialog to be added in the quest list screen. and the quest to be removed from the quest list after each attempt of the quest. I don't think it's passable but i thought it's worth a shot. Does anyone know how to remove the 'clear' flag from a quest through quest.txt?

i think vladi knows how, but he's pwning some nubs

hmm well why dont you just make the same quest be done 3 times..

"3 different quests in 1 npc" its easily done =D but idk about auto repeating the quest... gotta hear what bakabug is going to say about that

[Shortor]

lol? luca doesn't know anything about quests.txt etc, he never looked into the official server files >_>.

[swarm133]

Three quests in the one wont help when i want unlimited attempts possible for the quest. well unfortunately you cant decrease the flag number. there goes that idea. oh well. :(

no one really does the same quest over 10 times.. they get bored.. i would suggest to make a hard quest be done like 3 - 5 times.. =P but yeah idk

then dont post ! little kid

oO Dopestar i tough u know why
none shares with me, give me a reason to share with them
(if its a good reason i will tell him)

[Jangan]

[Dopestar]

It's a public DEV forum...either share you knowledge or GTFO leacher Swarm has done many things for the kalonline comunity... he deserves help for this.... but anyways dont belive you know how, think your just trying to look smart

[Jangan]

true swarm helped this community alot.. especially with valdi files =D

its not really possible unless it auto resets it.. but then again that will take away your xp and contribution.. so we go back again to where we started =P

i would prefer having to do it 10x.. im not really sure anyone on earth would do the same quest more than 5 times =S especially if swarm made it really hard

[FredyKiller]

i really dont get the thing in this thread lol

i know u want to make a quest that can be made seveal times but u mean a custom quest or the quest that are already in kal?? and wot kind of quest ...if u r making a quest of getting some items...like the bird event 1 i think u ca make it all the times u want. ..or i just dont get it lol

kk then i will tell him but not here it can be used for quest hack to
reason for the first place to dont tell him =)

[swarm133]

Would you mind pm'ing me through forum then? i would appreciate the help

[swarm133]

His 'idea' had nothing to do with what i was doing.

It had nothing to do with the quest list (pressing q key)
his idea wouldn't let monsters drop the items when doing quest and not when not doing quest.

he was just suggesting the param send quest....so not usefull in any way

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So i guess php or slq query every week is the only way.

if anyone wants to make a quest that you can do over and over again (ie collect heads for random reward) i would suggest the following

To make the quest be able to be completed 10 times a week:
use enough flags to be able to have it switch on and off 10 times
ie

1000 1 = Quest on
1000 2 = Quest off

1000 3 = Quest on for 2nd attempt
1000 4 = quest off

1000 5 = Quest on for 3rd attempt
1000 6 = quest off

1000 7 = Quest on for 4th attempt
1000 8 = quest off

1000 9 = Quest on for 5th attempt
1000 10 = quest off

1000 11 = Quest on for 6th attempt
1000 12 = quest off

1000 13 = Quest on for 7th attempt
1000 14 = quest off

1000 15 = Quest on for 8th attempt
1000 16 = quest off

1000 17 = Quest on for 9th attempt
1000 18 = quest off

1000 19 = Quest on for 10th attempt
1000 20 = quest off and clear the quest to remove it from quest list

and having a php scrypt that you run every week to reset
any even quest flag to 1000 0 (and reset clear flag to 0 if (clear 1000 20) reached)
and
any odd quest flag to 1000 1

And having the following put in the init monster if needed


in initmonster.txt

(quest (1000 1 # 1)(1000 3 # 1)(1000 5 # 1)(1000 7 # 1)(1000 9 # 1)(1000 11 # 1)(1000 13 # 1)(1000 15 # 1)(1000 17 # 1)(1000 19 # 1))

in itemgroup.txt

 (group (index #) (item (1000 ? 0 *)))
(itemgroup (index #) (group (1000 #)))

where
# = number for item group
? = Item index
* = amount of item to drop

and in task-e.dat(config.pk)

 ( task 
	( key 1000)
	( name "Repeatable Quest")
	( desc "This quest can be completed 10 times a week")
	
	( flag

		( param 265183 262364)
	)
	( flag 
		( key 20)
		( desc "Shouldn't see this as should have used command (clear 1000 20)")
		( param 257032 257425)
	)
)

I'll leave the php script to some more talented people

Don't forget to change the location of the ( param 257032 257425) to the location of the npc that gives the quest
thats for the red dot to appear on the map

Hope this help someone. and if anyone feels up to making a php script for this example that would be great.
