Questmaster 5000

[schoppew]

I have made a simple random quest generator for my own use and decided to spiffy it up a little so others can try it out. I used it because I wanted to do quests that I didn't create. This could also be used to pick and choose which npc wants what item and what the reward is for them. I created this so that the item to turn in must be a nodrop item and must be off of a loottable. This will work with customized items and npc's I believe. This will take an npcid number and automatically put the quest in the zone folder it belongs in. This doesn't have to be in the quest directory, the folders could be copied over. Keep in mind, if a quest already exists for a certain npc it will be overwritten if this is in the quests directory. If anyone would like to try it, you can download it at:

I would like input on what features you all would like or anything that could make it better.

New release see below....

[schoppew]

I have a new release for Questmaster 5000.

Additions/fixes include:

Item Reward Options - Min/Max item cost/value limits
Item Turn-in Requirements - Lore Items Yes/No
Zone Selections on Item turn-ins - Can now select which zone the random generator will pick npcs from. Can also pick a different zone for the generator to pick items from the loot tables within.
Fixed the way the turn-ins are picked, no more spectral parchments on half of the npcs.
Put the program in a nice setup program, dont need to copy files to the system32 dir anymore.....


You can download the setup program from:
http://schoppe.webhop.net/questmaker/qmsetup.exe

This program also requires the MySQL ODBC db drivers get it at:

Please make me aware of any improvements you seem fit.

[calranthe]

[Scorpx725]

Neat.

As Trumpcard said, not a bad idea.

[calranthe]

Does anyone know the error Microsoft Datagrid controll cannot initialize data bindings.

I am runing windows xp professional am i missing anything.

Do i need runtime libraries or something

[schoppew]

I have tested this on a few different computers... Has anyone else tried it? I haven't heard anything since I put this in an install package, I thought that fixed it. Let me know if you have tried it and if it did/didn't work please.

[schoppew]

Also, I am planning on releasing a new version in the next week or two... If anyone wants anything added let me know, will try to get it in.

[ryder911]

Not sure if this has it yet, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but how about making a way to select so a zone that has some linked quest, kind of like a epic quest?

[mattmeck]

If you havent yet, add a way for multi step quests, you know bring me 4 of these, oh my now i need 2 of these, goodness me now where did i put the box so i can combine this for you, you better go get that too.

[schoppew]

I have a new version ready for download... Some changes/fixes:


Added function to check if MyODBC 3.51 is installed
Now can choose whether existing quests are overwritten or not.
Added a save and load feature for random generator settings
Added a tab control for settings
Added the option to create epic quests, random or by selecting a class

Next version I will try to impliment multiple items in quests and ability to change what npc's say during quests.

when I try to connect to the database with this program, I get the message "There was a problem connecting to the DB, check your settings and connect again."

I've doubled-checked to make sure the settings are correct. any ideas? :\

[schoppew]

Have you installed the Mysql ODBC drivers? Does the eqemu server see the DB ok?

[Cintheria]

yes to both questions.. still no luck

[Larrier]

I'm having the same problem as Cintheria

[sysadmin]

Was this proggy tested on 6dr2 + perl ?

[schoppew]

Yes, it is compatible with 6dr2. It only works with perl quests.

Many thanks sdabbs65, link updated :)

[tkd1991a]

I haven't tried to install this utility yet but I am wondering if anyone out there is running it and what they think.

Also any installing directions would be great.

Hello everyone,
Sorry I have not worked on this program in a very long time. I was thinking about the emu project a few days ago and stopped in to see how it was coming along. I have the latest version still which I am posting the link to if anyone wants it. The previous link provided looks like .5b and the one I found in my old eqemu stuff is .9.... anyway here is the newer link:

http://www.suckaholic.net/files/qm5000.rar

Sorry for not continuing on it, I kinda got fed up with the updates breaking stuff and lost interest. Maybe I will keep it going some day. I am glad the project seems to be progressing though.

[Belfedia]

Thanks for link ;)

[gernblan]

Sure would appreciate a current link to this!

[GeorgeS]

Actually I already thought this would be good in my upcomming quest tool. I'll keep this feature low priority for now - although the original program source would be nice..

Is there not one damn link that works for these quest editors?
