I've spent the last several days going zone by zone converting bracketed text to saylinks - in both LUA and Perl. I've been considering this for years (and I doubt I'm alone), so figured I'd share.

Notes:
- I'm sure there are bugs/typos, but I hope not a lot. Feel free to PR any fixes :D
- I didn't convert some quests that I have no intention of using on VA. (Out of era, special events, etc.)
- I did change up the trigger words in some case (removed 'what', other stuff) but functionally they should all be the same.
- I removed the zones I'm not using on VA, so this isn't complete. But it should basically cover everything up through LDoN.
- Some zones have custom (mostly older) versions of some scripts. (PoM, Droga, others)

Feedback welcome!

Thats fantastic! The p2002 repo also has nearly every quest up to pop using Saylinks that can also be referenced.

Suppose I probably should have known that... :P

not to detract from the awesome work you have, specially since you have some perl examples where I don't have any in perl.

Of course not. I didn't take it that way at all.

One thing I did do is add some links to the Thurgadin armor quests and a few other places in Velious that didn't even have brackets before. I consider that an artistic license of sorts, but it made sense to me. :)
