Submitting a Quest to the Archive

[Cisyouc]

In order to create a wide selection of quests for users, we have created 3 new forums for the Quest writers out there to share, ask questions about, improve and write quests! For more information of Perl Quests, please visit this tutorial.

Before a quest is passed to the archive, it must meet all the criteria listed here.

To submit a quest, you must include this header at the top of all quest files.

I am happy to hear there is an archive for general quest development (finaly). Where is it, or how is it made available to users?

Submit it here in this forum, once accepted it will be moved to Quests::completed, that forum will have nothing but quests that work and have been accepted by the quest team i put in charge ( if interesting in joining see Cisyouc i dont micro manage kkthx~ )



Thie idea is people can copy / past, edit the NPCID's, items #'s then save it and go.

see here http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18982 for a bit more detail.
