Creating a Quest with QEdit

Matt said:
For the map designation, you need to use the OPCode map_designate or map_designate_ex (I don't know the difference), written like this:

Code: 
leti R60 [Value 1]
leti R61 [Value 2]
leti R62 00000000
leti R63 [Value 3]
leti R64 00000000
map_designate(_ex) R60

Where:

Value 1 = Floor Number
Value 2 = Map Number
Value 3 = Map Layout

R60~64 can be whatever successive registers you like.

For your BB issues, I'm not entirely sure why it would be crashing. You can send me the quest file if you'd like and I'll take a look at it (or just export the script into a text file).

I should probably rewrite this to use another map as Forest is kind of aggravating as well.

<grand edit>:
Ah sorry my bad, I mistook it for
set_floor_handler

The difference between map_designate and map_designate(_ex) is, you can reassign maps (unless _ex is BB specific)

I'm having a bit of an issue making my first quest, I've made the scripting exactly the way you made it, but for some reason the game crashes at me talking to the quest person.(Also I actually have to walk up to them instead of it just moving me there)
Here is the script so far:

Think you could send me the quest file? I'm not entirely sure why it's crashing either looking at that.

I actually write my scripts differently these days and should probably re-write the guide to be a little more streamlined.
 
Are you writing your script in a text editor?

Because:

upload_2017-9-24_5-17-19.png

it's completely messed up. If not, perhaps you are saving the quest incorrect (you need to make sure it is saved as a "Server Quest File (BB)" format)
 
O-o Yeahhh, I've been saving it as Server Quest File (BB) and it's been doing that to me too. Would me having updated the QEditor have anything to do with that?

(Edit) Okay, I think I know what I did wrong, try this one.

OMG I am a derp, sorry. I was saving the .bin file as just a "quest file" and then packaging that into a BB .qst file. I had no idea that that part mattered, but it got me thinking when you were mentioning the file types and it fixed it when I saved both as BB files. >ω<
 
Yep, the new version you posted works fine for me as well, should be fine now. o.o
 
Yep, it is. Now I just gotta fix some more problems of my own creation. Like why wave 4 isn't spawning, but I think I know how to fix that one. ^^;
 
I should note that Qedit version I posted a couple of posts before is better than the one originally linked in the OP (which has now changed). It will automatically set the Y co-ordinates for you when you place something and actually stretch the window when made larger, along with making the maps black instead of the original gaudy red.

That will probably make placing waves easier and also make it so you don't accidentally put things like Event Collisions under the floor like I've done a few thousand times.
 
Edit: NVM, figured it out, but that brings up another question. So do you always need some sort of event collision in order to trigger events properly, and what other ways can you trigger events?
 
Last edited:
I'm pretty sure there's no way to trigger events without a collision. If you want enemies to spawn after something like a cutscene or whatever, you'd have the script use the unhide_obj OPCode to make the Event Collision appear.
 
You could also use unhide_ene to spawn a wave, just need to keep all clients in sync.
http://qedit.info/index.php?title=Unhide_ene

Other way to trigger events is with the 'call' function in the event.
ex:
#1
RoomID: 1
Wave: 1
Delay: 0

call 2

Will start event 2 after event 1 is done. (I think roomid is named something else, but that's an autogenerated field.)
 
Thanks with all the help guys, I mean it. Also I think I have one last issue while making my new quest. I can't seem to get the victory condition of "Kill Dark Falz" to trigger. I've made a portal directly to Falz, for convenience, right next to Principals portal so I could just test the victory condition works and everytime I beat Falz nothing happens. Can you take a look at it for me pls?

You wrote thread_stg 501 instead of thread_stg 551.
 
>ω< Thanks Matt, I was a stupid. Been messing with the numbers a bit while adding and removing stuff. Thanks for pointing out teh stupid.
 
Hey so I was following your guide, and my progress came to an abrupt halt when I realized I don't have the right sidebar that you do. Do you know why that is?

That's... a very good question. I have no idea.

I have no suggestions either, you'll need to play around with it or redownload.
 
Ahh, that sucks. I have downloaded it twice and it's the same thing. Does it use any sort of Visual Studio Redistributable? Maybe I just need to download one of those?
