Get this ball rolling!!!
i've looked at other posts regarding this but i'm still confused about the format that we actually submit them in. There are posts in the development center forum but not they aren't clear. Lots of code i don't understand. I have a couple of ideas. I'd love to have some sort of editor to make a dungeon with it's own quests inside.

The 2nd project meeting under issue 4
4. Issues not finished since last meeting:
->Quest creation tutorial - Oskar get images together; Scott write the text. Discuss format and where to put it.
->Decide on blurry / non-blurry monster images.
i think this should be a priority. Could be a big source of help.

He said we could just email him dialogue.
_____________
Hero - Have you seen my brother?
NPC - No, but are you an adventurer?
--------------
Hero - Yes
NPC - Great, help me out!
--------------
Hero - No
NPC - Awww, that's too bad...

(But adding stuff like new mobs & drop lists help - along with expected level etc.)
_____________

For now, that's good enough - he will plug it all in.
In the future, there should be improved tools for the creation & submission process

Can you expand more on this? Do we just give new names for mobs? items etc?

Sure thing, I'm doing this from a phone so I will be back to edit links into this post.

Ok, so Oskar has tons of graphics for mobs, items & charactor conditions...
A lot of them aren't being used - and he still keeps adding more.

http://code.google.com/p/andors-trail/s ... n206&r=206
(This is just one random page - browse around for more)

If you want certain mobs to match your story, pick a graphic...
Make up some stats for it & then a list of what it drops & how often.

Monter 007 (some kind of reference to the code page where u found it)
Mob Name (up to you)
HP: 55
AC: 110%
AD: 6
Drops: small rock 1:5, glass gem 1:10 & Gold 12-15 (50% of the time)

If the mob can hit you with a new condition (feel free to write stats up for that too!)
Pictures for the Character conditions can be found...

http://code.google.com/p/andors-trail/s ... .png?r=206
(Click drawable for more mobs, gear, items, etc.)

---------------------

Oskar mentioned the code restrictions when dealing with quests.
Certain things are easy - go give "this item" to "this person" or...
Go kill "this guy" those are pretty straight foreward.

But when things get complicated - extra code may need to be written.
I will use his most recent complex quest as an example -
He made it to where an NPC can reward you with a skill (by writing up new code)
That skill is needed to finish the quest & removed post-completion.

So, I would say to keep them somewhat simple in execution
(Consider the quests we can already enjoy - I like the warp crystals & ritual search :D )
I'm trying to think of ways to use exisitng code for interesting quests...
But also putting time into simple filler quests too (remembering his request for early / tutorial quests)

They are by no means innocent! Those things are so quick to attack you. Very annoying when you just want to travel past. I say kill them all, as long as I am not the one assigned to the killing as I find them so boring and pointless.

Hey, frog loving is better than frog licking... Because frog licking is just wrong... Don't give in to peer pressure, love your frogs, don't lick them!

Frogs worldwide are under attack by a fungus that is killing huge numbers of them. We should indeed refrain from killing them on the basis of a rumor started by an April Fools Day joke.
(I wonder whether the fungus could have been originally transmitted to the frogs by people licking them? The human mouth is far from clean.)

Could it be you who did the licking? It was a woman anyway, wasn't it?
