I just want to say whoever wrote this - great work! It's made learning tasks so much easier and really speeds up the quest pipeline!

KLS wrote it, and yes it is extremely helpful for creating tasks. Especially for people who are not already familiar with the many tables and settings related to tasks.

There are 2 minor issues with it currently that you may or may not be aware of though. The first issue is that it doesn't currently display previously saved tasks if you open it up and connect. Your old tasks won't show on the list, but they are still there. You just have to click in the blank area on the left until you find the one you are looking for. If you save any task that is blanked out like that, it will show up on the list again until you restart the tool again. The second issue is a bit more of a real problem, but it is easily resolvable. When you create a task and an activity to go with it, the activity will save as 1 by default from the tool I believe. If you try to run this task in game, it will give you an error about not being able to find the task. This is because activity IDs have to start at 0. The fix is really simple, so it isn't a big deal. You just have to go into the table or the tool and change the activity ID to 0 and save it. Then, you can do a #task reloadall and it should work just fine. Other than those 2 minor issues, the tool works flawlessly from what I can see. It is a huge time-saver when making tasks.

I don't have either of those problems you describe Trev.

Here is the thread about it:

I definitely still get the blank list on the left of tasks. I am not sure if the activity being set to 0 happens every time or not though. I am pretty sure that was what caused my issue the other day when I was making the last task I made. It doesn't seem to happen every time though, as I didn't see that particular issue before, but someone else mentioned seeing it too.

I think the other issue was something to do with the default zone setting not being set properly if it wasn't changed in the tool manually when creating the task. And last is the minor note about the proximity field that just shows something a bit odd in it but doesn't seem to cause an actual problem.

Ah okay I see it now.
