NPC-Quester - Make NPCs give quests!
Version: 2.3.1

If you ever wanted a plugin that would make your NPCs give out quests, this is the plugin for you.
Lots of features to be added, so keep on the lookout!

Features:

• uQuest:
  • NPCs give random quests
  • Specified NPCs give out a specific quest and restricted those quests if wanted
  • If wanted, make players have a specified item in their hand with a specified amount, and if you want it, take it from them too
  • Quest chains!
  • Make NPCs give out the quest only once
• EpicQuest:
  • Give solo quests
  • Give group quests

How to install: (read carefully!)


First off, required plugins:
uQuest or EpicQuest (quests)
Citizens (NPCs)
Permissions (commands, not neccesary but nice to have)

uQuest:

Now, to give your NPCs quests, use the ingame commands to make your NPCs quests!​

You can also copy paste one of the examples and type your own settings there if you find that easier too.​

EpicQuest:

Use in-game commands to add NPCs or change the config​

Names are case sensitive!

When you are done adding your questers, /reload your server to load them.

Big thanks to the creators of:

Citizens

 

Still not working

 

Then I'd like some more info

Could you post your config in code tags?
Do you get an error? If so, post the full error.

Also make sure to check the start log (when it starts the server) to see if it gives any errors.
Most of the time there will be a note if something didn't work as it should.

 

right ok I redownloaded this AND uQuest, uQuest comes with 53 quests standard. As soon as I redownload them both I go onto the server and type '/npcq add Mary 3 true' (hoping that Mary would get quest 3.)
It then says 'Mary has quest 3. Only this NPC: true.'
I then reload and no matter how many time I right click Mary she doesnt do anything....

Is there anything I need to do after redownloading the configs even if I haven't changed any of the files apart from that in game command?

 

Again, did you get a error at the start of when you right click the NPC?
What version of NPC-Quester do you have?
Could you post your config?

 

I got an idea of what u can make to this mod:
When u take a quest u get a certain items for example an axe if u need to cut wood.
It would be very nice ;P
Nice mod

 

The latest version of everything.

specific:
Mary:
iteminhand:
amount: 1
item: 1
active: false
consume: false
thisNPConly: 'true'
quest: 3

I keep getting this also in the console logs: 15:10:04 [SEVERE] Could not pass event PLAYER_INTERACT_ENTITY to NPCQuester

 

You forgot to get the newest config, I think.
The "quest" part has expanded quite alot.

Also make sure to have the newest version of NPC-Quester, the new commands were added in v2.1.
The current version you use doesn't add quest chains as far as I see now.

 

• Complete quests only once then disable them for that player
  I NEED THAT, REALLY PLS ! ♥

 

Thank your advise worked I download the JAR file and that didnt seen to download the latest version for me

Can you add a 'accept or 'decline' option after you right click people? I don't want to be forced to accept a quest before I even know what it is...

Agreed, people are just going to be doing the same quests over and over :/

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

Yep, that's just make me cry when i see that..

 

Geuss what the next feature is I'm already working on...

 

HELL YEAH. And when do it come out ? i really need that to make my server been epic !

 

Mmmm...
I can't really give an ETA on this one.
Expect it before the weekend ends.

Also, instead of having it like "Done you can't do it anymore", I want it that you can put in your own number for the amount of times a player can do the quest.

 

I'm kidding, that's really great, ur plugin is simply awesome!

 

Thank you!

Please Help, wont work D:

 

There's something wrong with the config...
Could you post it here?

 

YES I've got everything up and running properly and this plugin is SOOO awesome You need to put some sort of donation link up, when I finally put up my server I might donate

So yeah recommendation list:
- Make people only be able to do quests once
- Have the option to 'Accept' or 'Decline'
- Make some sort of video showing how to do it all (Trust me, videos will help everyone out a lot)
- Put up a donation link

Anyone want me to add to this list???

    dropQuestCharge: 5000

I dont think the config files of u-quest will help.

 

It will restrict random quest givers to give out the quest that NPC has.

At your "amount" value, there's no space.
So change "amount:52" to "amount: 52"

There's a donation link in my signature if you want to donate

Help me i need to win money with the quest's wich i do!
Please Help Me :s

 

Donated 10 Euros

Can you please add to your Todo list the option to 'Accept' or 'Decline' a quest after they tell you what the quest is?

/Balance? What plugin are you using for that?

Go to the 'Citizens' folder in your plugins and then open up the 'economy' YML file, then change 'use-econplugin' to true if you haven't done so already.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Update the plugin. You're running it at 2.0.4...

 

Umm Whenever I Download the Plugin , its Always 2.0.4, please change it, cause I cant seem to download it from that link...

 

Might've been something I forgot to change.
I suppose the thing I told didn't work then?

Fixed a possible problem with questers saving to the wrong player and not loading correctly with more questers.

Any idea when the next updates coming?

I need everything sorted out by the 1st, it's when I'm launching my massive RPG server.

 

If you've been following this thread a little (or even look at the date this was created), you'll probably see that updates come pretty quickly

I have a pretty busy weekend, so I might or might not get the next features out this weekend.

 

I've only been using the plugin for 2 days now .

What you trying to do for the next update? Everything on the todo list or just a couple?

 

I'm planning on implementing the first three on the todo list that aren't finished.
Almost got the "Get quest once" done.
I have an idea on how to do the quest counting, and I also have an idea for the right click a npc twice thing.
Not sure how that'll work out tho, so that might be in the update after this.

Quest counter and "only once" successfully implemented (should ).
