Creating Quests

Creating quests for SkyQuest is extremely simple. To begin, simply double click the plugin's .jar file. This will open a window. Click the load button and go to your server's plugin folder. Locate SkyQuest's folder, select it, and load it. After this step, you should be ready to begin.

Quest Creation

  1. Click on the quest tab.
  2. Click the "Create" button below the quest list. This will display a dialog.
  3. Enter the Quest ID, Quest Name, and First Stage Name. Quest ID is a unique name for the quest that will only be used inside of the utility program. You can put anything for it, such as quest1. It is recommended that you use quest IDs that will help you remember what the quest is. Quest Name is simply the name of the quest that is displayed to the user. For example, it could be "Help Farmer John", but the quest ID could be john1. First Stage name is the name of the first stage in the quest. You can just leave this as "stage1".
  4. Click "Create" when you are done.
  5. Your quest has been created. Click on it to begin adding objectives and stages.

Creating Objectives

  2. Click on the objectives tab if it isn't selected already.
  3. Click the "Create" button below the objective list. This will display a dialog.
  4. Enter the Objective ID, the Objective Name, and select an objective type. Objective ID is a unique name for the quest that will only be used inside of the utility program. It is similar to a Quest ID, except that it is only unique for that quest only. This means that you can have two quests that both have an objective called obj1. Objective Name is simply the name of the objective that is displayed to the user.
  5. Click "Ok" when you are done.
  6. Now, you will have to fill in data for your objective. Each objective type has a different editor, so refer to the documentation that provides information about your objective type.
