I would think modifying the source to incorporate this is going to be more involved than it'd take for ya to just go into..

and write conditions checking if the player is in the zone for each event, though it's going to take a while.. I dunno. That is a lot of files, heh.

Technically could edit your source to do this non-quest style, but, that's kind of complicated too. As is you're hitting a block with that limitation of player.pl not being ran on templates\ and each zone.. Don't really have an easy solution. It's going to probably be work no matter what.

ok I know that this might seem kinda stupid. but I took this code

if(!isloaded(packagename.c_str()))
	{
		filename = "quests/";
		filename += QUEST_TEMPLATES_DIRECTORY;
		filename += "/player.pl";

and just added this one line

if(!isloaded(packagename.c_str()) || isloaded(packagename.c_str()))
	{
		filename = "quests/";
		filename += QUEST_TEMPLATES_DIRECTORY;
		filename += "/player.pl";

and compiled and now it reads from both files, and it does what I want it to do now lol. I know thats probably a hack and a half, but it works. i've done some testing with it, and have yet to see anything wrong with it. /shrug.
