0.5.0 Quests - Updated 20 November
 

I have a collection of quests available for 0.5.0 standard databases. Download them from http://users.tpg.com.au/adslipjo/index.html .
I will update the Quest Reprocessor download for the latest version that converts 0.4.4 quest files to be 0.5.0 compliant.

Awesome!! This helps me out tremendously. Man, thanks a lot :D

I've tried using your quest file reprocessor, but it gives me an error:
"Failed [Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] Data source not found and no default driver found"

What have I done wrong here? :)

Assuming you have all else setup correctly, try making sure your firewall isn't preventing mysql and the client from making a tcp/ip connection.

I run a server constantly and successfully. The problem seems that I don't have a supporting driver installed in my odbc driver manager. The problem is, I don't know what I'd need (there are several hundred different types of odbc drivers). :?

I'm guessing you need the mySQL odbc drivers installed. check www.mysql.org

You may not be able to connect to a remote database, even with the MyODBC 3.51 installed (MyODBC 3.51 is mentined as a requirement in the read me). I havnt tested remote connections, but if you need this functionality let me know and i will ensure its working.

I would be really happy if itemcount() would work. I have been using this in the quests i write in expectation of the day its actually implemented in the code.

[Damn that bloody web page timeout]

woops :) installed myodbc 3.51 and it worked like a charm. Thanks for your quick response :D

I tried the tool out, and it seems to leave off some things:

On a few quest files, it left off the ';' before the '}' at the end of the line.. others added the ';' but didn't put a space between ';' and '}'.

it's outputing quests like this:

EVENT_SAY {
if($1- =~ "Hail") {
say("Hey. hey. hey! Welcome to the Fool's Gold. Don't bet more than you can afford to lose. pal! You don't want to end up like ol' [Kevlin].");}
}

The format it correct with the ';' at the end of the line (on this one), but no space between ; and } at the end of the line... this causes syntax errors. If it looked like this:

EVENT_SAY {
if($1- =~ "Hail") { say("Hey. hey. hey! Welcome to the Fool's Gold. Don't bet more than you can afford to lose. pal! You don't want to end up like ol' [Kevlin]."); }
}

It would surely work everytime. On this one, there's only a lack of one space to make it work, but other quests are missing the ';' at the end of the line before the space and '}'.

Still, awesome job on this tool :D

It does...

Excellent, I will try harder.

Cheers Kroeg, I made the mod you suggested, it still wont handle more than one function per line though.

Amazing Molly... you've really helped me out a lot. I can't thank you enough for deciding to share this (it saves a LOT of time). I just tested it out, and all the quests it fixed, WORK! Great job! You saved me about 2--4 hours of tedious work. Thanks again! :D

No worries. In general people are pretty stingy when it comes to sharing their quests around lately, but i hope to change that.
The collection i have posted has a lot of dodgy quests included, i will attempt to ensure they are all kosha and repost soon, with some new additions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have updated the quests collection, 99% are now OK to run.

Also updated the reprocessor, the 0.5 compatability should now work for 101% of quests (I think I see my pigs taxiing, ready for take off).
