Default 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.

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.

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

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!

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).
