== Quest Contribution (need summary) ==
* [[Stendhal Quest Contribution]] explains how a quest is created. Starting with a very first rough idea and ending with an implemented and well tested quest that is fun to play.
* hendrik: A quest starts with a rough idea.
* hendrik: There are already some ideas at http://stendhal.game-host.org/wiki/index.php/Stendhal_Quest_Ideas[[Stendhal Quest Ideas]] in various states of completion. ▼* hendrik: Sometimes those ideas are very detailed, sometimes they are just one sentences.
* It is a good idea to join [[http://stendhal.game-host.org/?id=content/game/chat|#arianne]] and talk about your ideas, especially before you start to put lots of work into it.
* pepzs: level request for make some quest
* hendrik: Like There should be an dunken soilders who wants a beer.
* pepzs: some players make mithril shield level 120 and can use only level 250
* xkimetx: yes
* xkimetx: but this level for use is good
* pepzs: is better implant one level for make the quests
* hamunu: yes I like it if you can use it with level 250
* hamunu: there is more fun to level up!
* hendrik: Those ideas should be discussed. Talk with other people about it. For example in #arianne.
* hendrik: * What is the quest about? * How does it fit into the world? * Which NPCs should take part in the quest? * What should the reward be? * Can the quest be done only once or repeatedly? * Are new items or monsters required?
* hendrik: Just some questions to help you focus on the important parts.
* hendrik: Don't worry, you are not alone.
* hamunu: ahh I think nobody answered my question... How do you think about a music house?
* hendrik: At the end there should be short description for the quest:
* hendrik: Title: Beer For Hayunn
* hendrik: Participants: Hayunn Naratha (the veteran warrior in Semos Village), Margaret (Semos inn)
* pepzs: hum
* hendrik: Steps:
* hendrik: 1. Hayunn asks you to buy a beer from Margaret.
* hendrik: 2. Margaret sells you a beer.
* pepzs: i think can have a level for enter where have entwife
* hamunu: I does that on another server...
* hendrik: 3. Hayunn sees your beer, asks for it and then thanks you.
* hendrik: Reward: 50 XP, 20 gold coins, Karma: 10
* hendrik: Repetitions: None
* hamunu: yes I think there is a page on arianne.sourceforge
* pepzs: the players up very fast on it can become same gnome vilage
* blackfinix: thanks hendrik
▲* hendrik: There are already some ideas at http://stendhal.game-host.org/wiki/index.php/Stendhal_Quest_Ideas in various states of completion.
* hamunu: no this
* hamunu: finix
* hamunu: http://stendhal.game-host.org/wiki/index.php/StendhalQuest
* hamunu: oh :P
* xkimetx: npcs for sale mega potions
* hamunu: ahh kimet
* hamunu: that's to easy
* xkimetx: xD
* vomit: i have to go
* hamunu: I don't like it if it's to easy
* vomit: cheers
* hamunu: bye
* hendrik: The next step is to write down the text the NPC should say.
* blackfinix: bye vomit
* hendrik: This can be part of the coding. But if someone like myself with limited knowledg of English codes the quest it is helpful to have those texts.
* superkym: at would stage should the quest idea be presented to arianne for discussion and approval?
* hendrik: If you want to read it up, you can have a look at http://stendhal.game-host.org/wiki/index.php/Stendhal_Quest_Contribution
* samson: I too don't like it if it's to easy .... so lets take the empty scrolls out of the game
* superkym: should it be before lots of work is done working out the npcs texts?
* plassy: hoi... I right now tested the "stendhal_test1.zip" file at my local server. its pretty much faster
* blackfinix: ok hendrik
* hendrik: superkym, i'd say, the earlier the better.
* hendrik: The wiki page has a link to a tutorial for coding the quest.
* hendrik: But you can help without knowing how to write computer programs.
* xkimetx: kkkk
* xkimetx: compro gato
* blackfinix: I figured if I learned to code enough, at least for quests, i could focus on those
* hendrik: For example, I know how to write the code for a quest. But I am spending very little time in game. So I am missing the knowledge about the world of Stendhal in order to create a consistent one.
* kezman: :D
* xkimetx: where are bluelads???
* hendrik: blackfinix, http://stendhal.game-host.org/wiki/index.php/Stendhal_Quest_Coding explains the coding of quest. It is not completed, yet. I am working on the tutorial.
* blackfinix: ok I am reading it now :)
* hendrik: if anyone wants to help with a new quest, but http://stendhal.game-host.org/wiki/index.php/Stendhal_Quest_Ideas lists a few quests that may need further discussion and the texts the npcs should say.
