Tool - New Quest Editor

[GeorgeS]

Ok folks, finished the program. You can download it from my website
http://www.wizardportal.shorturl.com/eqemu/eq.html

It has many quest templates (which I verified to work BTW) and a host of editing functions. Hope it eases your editing tasks...

Ok

Thanks George

Thank you, George. Nice job!

Excellent tool, Thanks George!

A request if I may as I do not know how difficult it would be.

Ability to rename saved templates. All I can figure out so far is to save the template to an empty slot. But I have not figured out how to rename the template to help me remember which is which. If this option is already there and I have missed it I apologize.

I ended up adding a template that offers an item in exchange for other items specific to class ( weapon and armor turn in quests for returning an NPC's requested item, will offer different rewards depending on your class)

[Zard]

Tried to edit the previous post, but no edit button was available...
I just noticed today an icon at the far right top that lets you search the item database! Very handy.
I only discovered it by accident as it seems the right side of the program cutts off and is not fully displaying the program. I am using a winxp machine if that is why. Perhaps there is a part of the program that does what I ask above but is not showing up for me due to this issue. Perhaps others have experienced this and know a fix to get the full program window to display properly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi - In order to rename an existing template, click on it then hit the spacebar. Type in the new name and click on Save. That's it.

Regarding 'hidden' things, the problem is I'm running WUXGA on my laptop which runs at 1920x1200 natively, so when I make the compiles, I try to fit the program within a typical user's workspace view. I shoot for 1024x768. Only thing for me there is that typical resolution takes up just over 1/4 of my screen area. There are no other icons to the right of the search items one.

I'm a little slow, but I get there I just started using this one as I was looking for a decent editor in windows - very nice!
But I have the same problem as usual;
My screen resolution is 1024x768 you must have it set way up there, far past what my "classic" computers can handle (not to mention I can't hardly see tiny text like i used to).
I was hoping you could make it in a window to fit my old clunker.
Thanks for the great tools! I still use many of them.

Only three reasons why I keep a windows PC;
1- GeorgeS tools
2- EverQuest Client
3- still some old games I can't get to run under Linux

[GeorgeS]

Thanks for making it stickyfied

I'll look into the resolution issue. I've got many tools running on my laptop (17 inspiron dell) running 1920x1200

Glad you like the tool. There are going to be some quest/script additions when I get the time to make more.

I've always wondered why all of GeorgeS' tools aren't stickied lol. He has enough almost to deserve his own section

Might not be a bad idea - GeorgeS has always stuck around to support his stuff too

[cavedude]

Could we put the links/descriptions for all of Georges' tools in one sticky like Wind does with his stuff, and remove the stickies on the individual tools for specific discussion? Would help clean up this forum a bit, make his great tools easy to find for everybody, and still keep the discussions going.

A sticky of a post that describes each of his tools and then just has a link to his website at the bottom for where to get them should work great for new players that don't know about them and don't know to look in his sig for his website.

Better yet his own section of the forum! With him as a moderator over it!

nicely done, grats George!

Found a fairly nasty bug with the Quest Editor Tool, though it should be really easy to fix.

The Quest Editor Tool is automatically changing this:

$npc->CastSpell(6536, $userid);

to this:

$npc->castSpell(6536, $userid);

And, since this command is case sensitive, it causes the script to fail when the c is lower case.

I will keep an eye out for any more similar issues.
