Task System (preliminary work)

[MNWatchdog]

What people can do to impliment item select is make a quest NPC that accepts the rewards and gives them a replacement item in a round robin manner. Make the items BoE and the quest NPC not accept the item once its NoDrop/not BoE.

For example, the inital reward is a Dagger, turn it in, you get a club, turn the club in, you get a sword, turn in the sword you get a spear, turn in the spear and you get the original dagger. Thats round robin.

After Rock posted a task on PEQ, I noticed that Task Activity Type 2 (Kill) does not register when killing objects. In this case, it was the 'a vermin nest' (189443). Is there a method to cover this? Right now he has created a .pl script to update the task, but that seems excessive if we can have the task system take care of it the same as mobs.

[Derision]

I can see where the problem is. The code to update tasks on kill doesn't execute if the NPC class is 'LDON_TREASURE' (62) which the vermin nests are.

I'll fix and test it tomorrow.

Hmm, I just figured this was an intended feature since killing objects is a little strange.

i get these on server/zone startup. I'm no longer getting the sql errors for 'minlevel' so I think I have all the sql correct.
these are in the error log files like eqemu_error_zone_0196.log

It looks like it could not read from the tasks table. Is there not an error earlier on, like

[TASKS]Error in TaskManager::LoadTasks:  <MySQL Error>

If you are running Rev133 or later, did you add the repeatable column ?

ALTER TABLE `tasks` ADD `repeatable` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '1';

[Congdar]

i didn't get that error unless it is in a different file, and my tasks table does have the repeatable column in it. The output I listed above was the entire log file except the first line: Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_zone_3344.log
