Resource Modern Quest System + UI 1.1.0

[TechSkylander1518]

Could someone help me with this error.

I'm on v19.1 and downloaded the correct version of the resource and followed the instructions.
What i think is happening is that for some reason my game doesnt reconize the MenuHandlers command.
The same thing happens with the Encouter List UI resource.

MenuHandlers aren't a thing in v19.

 

[Alpaca_do_Mal]

MenuHandlers aren't a thing in v19.

So I should follow the old instructions for pre v20 instead?

Yes.

Trying to put spaces between the quest titles like so:

And currently stuck with this:

I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I'm certain I have to change something in this bit of code in UI.rb
Changing the height of rect does nothing seemingly...

def drawItem(index,_count,rect)
    return if index>=self.top_row+self.page_item_max
    #changing the rectangle height doesn't do anything for some reason

The rect object doesn't specifically control the text itself; it's an invisible rectangle that the text is drawn on. Increasing the height just makes the invisible rectangle longer.
I believe the text is controlled by the drawFormattedTextEx line. If you look for def drawFormattedTextEx, you'll see there's a lineheight argument that defaults to 32. You could try increasing that number. For example:
drawFormattedTextEx(self.contents,rect.x,rect.y+4,436,"<c2=#{col}>#{name}</c2>",base,nil,48)

Appreciate the response! I tried that as well. Forgot to say that. I put a line height of 64 since the default is 32, but maybe I formatted it wrong. I'll try your example!

Unfortunately that didn't change the space between the text :(
At first I thought maybe it just didn't increase much and I didn't notice a difference, but then I exaggerated the line height to 80, and still no change.

I'm using the v19 version of this script and have come across an error when pasting in UI_PauseMenu. I pasted it at the bottom as instructed, but the error I get is 'Exception `NameError' at 268:UI_PauseMenu:288 - uninitialized constant MenuHandlers
268:UI_PauseMenu:288:in `<main>': uninitialized constant MenuHandlers (NameError)'

I'm really not sure then, unfortunately. You could try looking at other uses of Window_DrawableCommand to see if that sheds any light. Or you could use a method other than drawFormattedTextEx to draw the text.

You need the v19 instructions! Look in the "Old instructions" spoiler at the bottom of the Overview page.

Hi! I would like to know if there's any way of showing the Quest name in the New Quest message you get after receiving it.

Hi! I would like to know if there's any way of showing the Quest name in the New Quest message you get after receiving it.

Hi! In 002_Quest_Main.rb, there are a few lines like this that play when you activate/fail/complete/advance a quest:
pbMessage(_INTL("\\se[{1}]<ac><c2=#{colorQuest("red")}>New quest discovered!</c2>\nCheck your quest log for more details!</ac>",QUEST_JINGLE))
Inside these methods (def activateQuest, def failQuest, def completeQuest and def advanceQuestToStage) I believe you can access the quest name by using $quest_data.getName(quest).

I'm not sure what you want this to look like, but that snippet of code should give you what you need to access the quest name at least.

Hi! Thanks for the response! What I wanted to do is to add the Quest Name to that lines that play when you call the script, I already edited them the way I wanted to, but I wanted to do something like this example:

I tried adding "$quest_data.getName(quest)" this way:

pbMessage(_INTL("\\wu\\op\\se[{1}]\\c[1]\\ts[]\\w[]\\b<ac>¡NUEVA MISIÓN! {$quest_data.getName(quest)}</c2>\\cl\\wtnp[30]\n</ac>",QUEST_JINGLE))

But it didn't work.

Sorry if it's a nooby problem!
Thanks!

I did that, now I get this error

Try:

pbMessage(_INTL("\\wu\\op\\se[{1}]\\c[1]\\ts[]\\w[]\\b<ac>¡NUEVA MISIÓN! {2}</c2>\\cl\\wtnp[30]\n</ac>",QUEST_JINGLE,$quest_data.getName(quest)))

This is an unrelated error to this plugin. It looks like you added a random letter 'u' to the top of your Settings script or something.

I think it might be this bit here, specifically the itemRect:

for i in 0...@item_max
next if i<self.top_item || i>self.top_item+self.page_item_max
drawItem(i,@item_max,itemRect(i))
end

But I can't figure it out. I'll keep messing with it, but if you have any ideas, let me know.

I get this error when trying to activate a quest. I copied activateQuest(quest) and changed (quest) to (1). Did I do it right?

Not quite. In your 004_Quest_Data.rb file, you should have something like this:

Quest1 = {
STUFF
}

The thing you need to provide to activateQuest is the Quest1 bit with a colon in front. For example, activateQuest(:Quest1). Does that make sense?

It does. Thank you! How do I define rewards?

Can you have repeatable quests?
