There are several missing, such as jaws, ruschk 10%, and for some reason, my timer for skill sellback/specialization doesn't function properly.


Any insight or a link to updated quest XML's?


TIA

Just posting this part to give ya al idea of how to add quest timers.....


The Filename is: data.xml

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


<quest Name="Eater Jaw-Engorged Eater" type="d" time="21" item ="Engorged Eater Jaw" trigger=""/>

<quest Name="Eater Jaw-Voracious Eater" type="d" time="21" item ="Voracious Eater Jaw" trigger=""/>

<quest Name="Eater Jaw-Abhorrent Eater" type="d" time="21" item ="Abhorrent Eater Jaw" trigger=""/>

<quest Name="Eater Jaw-Ravenous Eater" type="d" time="21" item ="Ravenous Eater Jaw" trigger=""/>

<quest Name="Eater Jaw-Insatiable Eater" type="d" time="21" item ="Insatiable Eater Jaw" trigger=""/>


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


type = d-day h-hours m-minutes.....etc

Trigger = Sometimes there is something said, something done, that triggers the quest timer. However, if, like above, there isn't anything in that section, then it is just the fact that you have picked it up, triggers it.


NOTE:::::: SPELLING AND CAPs are Vital!!!!!


Hope this helps ya a bit..... I know that I have starred at these various .xml data files until I get a headache, but I am noticing that I am actually making some sence of them..... and if ya knew me, you would know what a profound statement that is. I am BY-FAR NOT a Programmer.....


Peace!

Does anyone have a link to fairly updated tank XML's?


I searched elgar's forum, and couldn't find anything.

Ask 'Ambitiously Lazy' over on my boards. He did/does a lot of the quest updates.

Those are good for manually set quests, but they need triggers to be set automatically.


Need to see what chat the NPC says when you talk to him after completing them, or trigger off the token he hands you (need all the token names).

I know, but I don't have all the triggers yet. Was just throwing those out so that maybe someone else can help "fill in the blanks".

Thanks Arch_Magi,


Added yours (And the eaters posted above) to the current data.xml, as we find others and the missing triggers I will look into adding them (for a later release).


Ambitiously Lazy does an awesome job, but no reason we all can't help.
