Just copy and paste this into your favorite text editor and you off to the races making quests. This is the template I am using for the countless quests I have done with the PEQ Team.

Nice template :D I think I might be using this now ;) wink wink.

[mwmdragon]

I'm working on a program that will make quest writing 1 million time easier. Not sure of the ETA but i'm working on it now.

Enjoy the template ;)

### The End of this script must contain 2 empty lines for the EQ Quest System Since when?

[mwmdragon]

Try it out. Delete everything under the last line and when you compile and it will have an error when loading the script saying something like

Blahblahblah.pl is missing a square bracket or curly bracket near EOF, switching to default.pl


When I added some space to the end of the scripts they compiled perfectly in EQEmu.

There was nothing wrong with the script as it compile in PerlIDE. I added some spaces and it worked great.

OMFG now I find out.

[mystic414]

yeah, i had that problem too, but never did figure out what was causing it.. maybe submit that in the bugs forum so someone can take a look at it?

[solid11]

Wow so that was the problem. When I copied your quests from the forums it didn't add the extra lines when I pasted them, and I kept getting those errors. I just deleted the very last line, with zone and mob info, and it worked. Maybe I'll recopy them again when I get a chance.

[mwmdragon]

Glad I could help. It took me a while to figure it out :)
