Check out my files on it.

This topic should actually be on Scripting Support.

Greetings immortalis,

If you haven't already added a new quest ID to your rathena\db\[pre-re|re]\quest_db.txt file, open it and follow the instructions and the provided format to add a new quest ID.

Once you've created a new quest in your quest_db.txt file, simply call setquest <quest_id> at the desired moment of your NPC script. Once the quest is complete, call completequest <quest_id>, or, if you would like to erase a quest from the user's log, call erasequest <quest_id>.

If you'd like your script to display that "Quest!" bubble icon, create a new OnInit label on your NPC script (as shown below), or modify your current OnInit label to add the questinfo command:

OnInit:
	questinfo <quest_id>, QTYPE_QUEST;
	end;

You can see the full documentation, including more detailed explanations for the above commands, at doc/script_commands.txt.

Below I provide only the script_commands.txt information concerning the manipulation of the quest log:

=========================
|8.- Quest Log commands.|
=========================
---------------------------------------

*questinfo <Quest ID>,<Icon>{,<Map Mark Color>{,<Job Class>}};

This is esentially a combination of checkquest and showevent. Use this only
in an OnInit label. For the Quest ID, specify the quest ID that you want
checked if it has been started yet.

For Icon, use one of the following:

No Icon			: QTYPE_NONE
! Quest Icon	: QTYPE_QUEST
? Quest Icon	: QTYPE_QUEST2
! Job Icon		: QTYPE_JOB
? Job Icon		: QTYPE_JOB2
! Event Icon	: QTYPE_EVENT
? Event Icon	: QTYPE_EVENT2
Warg			: QTYPE_WARG
Warg Face		: QTYPE_WARG2 (Only for packetver >= 20120410)

Map Mark Color, when used, creates a mark in the user's mini map on the position of the NPC,
the available color values are:

0 - No Marker (default)
1 - Yellow Marker
2 - Green Marker
3 - Purple Marker

When a user shows up on a map, each NPC is checked for questinfo that has been set.
If questinfo is present, it will check if the quest has been started, if it has not, the bubble will appear.

Optionally, you can also specify a Job Class if the quest bubble should only appear for a certain class.

Example
izlude,100,100,4	script	Test	844,{
	mes "[Test]";
	mes "Hello World.";
	close;

	OnInit:
		questinfo 1001, QTYPE_QUEST, 0, Job_Novice;
		end;
}

---------------------------------------

*setquestinfo_level <quest_id>,<min_level>,<max_level>;

Add level range criteria for quest info with quest id 'quest_id'.

This command must be used after 'questinfo'.

---------------------------------------

*setquestinfo_req <quest_id>,<req_quest_id>,<state>{,<req_quest_id>,<state>,...};

Add 'req_quest_id' as requirement for quest info with quest id 'quest_id'.

Value os 'state' are:

    1: Player has 'req_quest_id' (state is either "inactive" or "active").
    2: Player has 'req_quest_id' completed

This command must be used after 'questinfo'.

---------------------------------------

*setquestinfo_job <quest_id>,<job_id>{,<job_id>...};

Add job criteria for quest info with quest id 'quest_id'.
The job criteria may more than one job_id.

This command must be used after 'questinfo'.

---------------------------------------

*setquest <ID>{,<char_id>};

Place quest of <ID> in the users quest log, the state of which is "active".

If *questinfo is set, and the same ID is specified here, the icon will be cleared when the quest is set.

	-1 = Quest not started (not in quest log)

[sader1992]

you need to add your quest in the quest_db.txt in the server side

and in questid2display.txt in the client side

than you can use the quest commands in your script and everything would be as you want

[immortalis]

@Tyrfing @sader1992 thank you for the answers and please don't get me wrong, but what i want to know is how can i put the quests in the other tabs instead of always going to the default ACT tab.

for this you need to look more into this folder

data\luafiles514\lua files\quest

i didn't try to do that before but i think it's easy if you try to understand how the other quests work in that window and than you can add your quests

anyway hopefully someone here would have more information about it

[immortalis]

@sader1992 thank you again for your enlightening answers, i think i got the gist of it already as i already made my own custom quest but the only problem is how to make them appear on the other tabs, i searched the forums but i have no luck but as i've searched google i stumbled upon an answer in hercules forums but i think it is not applicable in rathena or maybe i'm only doing something wrong.

[immortalis]

@TheDerpySupport thank god you've replied to my inquiry you are a god sent. This kind of files are what I'm looking i think (Kek!)
