Format question for quest::say
 
Apostrophes do not seem to show up in the client (Titanium). Are there escape characters or anything to make them show up?

Apostrophes work fine for quest::say(), though they don't work in quest:saylink() yet. In place of apostrophe ( ' ), I just use back quote ( ` ) on the Tilde key.

I thought that was the proper way, and I am using quest::say. Hmm, maybe #reloadpl wasn't done after the original change, or maybe a server reset could fix?

Anyway, Thanks for response Trev.

Do you have any hints for a way to have a second NPC join the "conversation" going on with another NPC? I assume quest::signal, but I haven't seen a thread here yet in that fashion and I don't really understand it's use. Still pretty new to this, basically. :wink:

Yeah, signal is definitely one good way to have another NPC join in on a conversation. You could also just simulate it with MessageClose() or other commands and the player wouldn't know the difference.

The Wiki and the old EQEmu Guide PDF (which GeorgeS has for download on his download page) are 2 good places to start learning about what does what, and how to use them.

Cool, I pulled down the PDF, but hadn't gotten too deep yet. I was worried about it being too old. Thanks for info.

It is old and definitely doesn't contain everything, but it is a good place to start as far as learning the basics of many of the more important quest commands and other information.
