While these scripts are great, they have some rather nasty bugs. I've found two so far - one quickly and the other after several hours of debugging when a thorough reading of the new quest howto would have worked.
1. All rewards must have quotation marks around them
summonitem(23432) must be summonitem("23432")
exp(200) must be exp("200")
2. At least some of the item requirements are zero-indexed, but need to be one-indexed
($item0="2323") needs to be ($item1="2323")
I wrote a quick and dirty perl script that looks to have fixed these in the few example files I looked in. It may have messed up other quests through, I didn't spend much time on it.

There appears to still be a bug in the NPC trading code where at least on the server I'm running after I turn in the tattered note, it remains on my cursor even though I can't see it. This means I can't get a tunic or whatever, and if I log out and back it I can turn it in again. I'll start working on this next.[/url]
