Quest Builder

This is a draft of a new quest builder system. At this point it is only a first idea that needs further refinement.

Example for Kill Creatures Quest

<source lang="java"> /**

* QUEST: CleanStorageSpace

*

* PARTICIPANTS: *

Eonna *

* STEPS: *

Eonna asks you to clean her storage space. *

You go kill at least a rat, a cave rat and a cobra. *

Eonna checks your kills and then thanks you. *

* REWARD: *

100 XP, karma *

* REPETITIONS: *

None. */ KillCreaturesQuestBuilder quest = new KillCreatureQuestBuilder(); quest.info() .name("Clean the Storage Space") .description("Eonna is too scared to go into her underground storage space, as it is filled with rats and snakes.") .internalName("CleanStorageSpace") .repeatable(false); .minLevel(0) .region(Region.SEMOS_CITY) .questGiverNpc("Eonna") quest.history() .whenNpcWasMet("I have met Eonna at her house in Semos next to the bakery.") .whenQuestWasRejected("I do not want to clear her storage space of creatures."); .whenQuestWasAccepted("I promised Eonna to kill the rats and snakes in her basement."); .whenTaskWasCompleted("I have cleaned out Eonna's storage space.") .whenQuestWasCompleted("Wow, Eonna thinks I am her hero. *blush*") quest.offer() //.when(new SomeCondition()) .respondToRequest("My #basement is absolutely crawling with rats. Will you help me?") .respondToRepeatedRequest("Thanks again! I think it's still clear down there.") .respondToAccept("Oh, thank you! I'll wait up here, and if any try to escape I'll hit them with the broom!") .respondToReject("*sigh* Oh well, maybe someone else will be my hero...") .respondTo("basement", "storage space").saying("Yes, it's just down the stairs, over there. A whole bunch of nasty-looking rats; I think I saw a snake as well! You should be careful... still want to help me?") .remind("Don't you remember promising to clean out the rats from my #basement?") quest.task() .requestKill(1, "rat") .requestKill(1, "caverat"); .requestKill(1, "snake"); quest.complete() .greet("A hero at last! Thank you!") .rewardWith(new IncreaseKarmaAction(5.0) .rewardWith(new IncreaseXPAction(100)); </source>
