Okay. I have spent several hours sifting through thousands of forum entries and have come up with nothing other tha confusion. I am trying to do scripts for NPCs. I have created a \quests\ dir and have downloaded some .qst files off these boards to test. I read that the ID#s might not match so i fired up EQAdmin and checked that the NPC i was working with had a .qst and that the id# of the file and in the file were the same as the NPC. so far so good. Login, and 'hail' and no luck.
So i #repoped the zone, nothing. #zoned put then back in, nothing. Hell, even did a reboot of the server, nothing.
Then i read about "oh there might be improper spacing in the .qst file, check the thread about scripting." Pretty sure it doesnt exsist, been looking for a while. Been checking the Zone window regularly and it hasnt given me any "cant find quests\blahblah.qst" whether there is a matching NPCID.qst or not, so i dunno if its even looking for them. Cant find any of these supposed quest making utilities either. Found the threads where the USED to be, but no longer.
Is there any code i have to add? or is my spacing in the files? am i just thick?
I can tell you one thing for sure, i am frustraited as hell because it seems to work for everyone else. Grrrrrrrr. Some insight from those more clairvoyant than me please!
(Please dont tell me to look for a 'sticky' on How to make a quest, cause the only one i found is a discussion on advanced commands AFTER scripting is already working...i looked.)
