I'm glad to say that I have managed to reconstruct the tutorial zones on my server. I'm quite surprised that no one else has done so; or maybe they have, but has not shared it with the community. The quest scripting is fairly simple to me, now that I know more about Perl.
One thing that I was trying to do was to create custom dialogboxes with text; kind of like the ones used for the story line. If you look in the eq directory, you will see a folder named
storyline. Perhaps another folder similar to that of the
storyline could be added to the
EqEmu folder where you can place custom content in the text file that you could use to enhance some of the quests in the game.
Has anyone been able to populate the quest journal or other journals? I would like to be able to share ideas with others here, and maybe we can make something happen.
For example, there is a write function that you can use to create a text file and write text to from within the game. Perhaps the dev team could add a read function that would work the other way around and place text into a dialog box. Just a thought...
