Adding Quest Zones question

[Sakrateri]

I added the zone Abysmal to my datbase and tehn added a abysmal folder to my quest folders and when i add quests for abysmal mobs in the abysmal folder they dont work , anyway i can get them to work that anyone knows of ?

Well since we don't have enough info about it we don't really know what you need to do to get them to work. What does the output of zone.exe say when you zone into that zone and it loads the quests?

Judging by the errors, you have some missing brackets in your quest files. Post one of the .pl files here.

[animepimp]

Yeah, its telling you exactly why your quests don't work, you didn't write themm correctly. Usually when the server tells you an error message, tahts the problem.

Ok , just figured out and this is strange , here is a regular quest file that works in all the other zones for me


sub EVENT_SAY {
if($text=~/Hail/i){
quest::say("Greetings. $name. Be gone I have much of nothing to do today. You bother me."); }
}
#END of FILE Zone:gfaydark ID:54092 -- Guard_Orcflayer

and of course I save it as the mobs ID number , Well i just found out i have to save the Abysmal Sea ones like this for them to work

sub EVENT_SAY {
if($text=~/Hail/i){
quest::say("Hello $name. The eyes of Rhosha watch over all."); }
}

I cant end them like the others only like this and save them as the Mobs ID and they work ,...........weird
