Quest Creation might be your thing

Majra · Post by **Majra** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 6:44 pm

Like being creative? Like full control? wanna make a name for yourself?

We are currently looking for people to make quests, as there is a shortage of questmakers currently. I know what some of you might think, I dont know how to quest make, and all that scripting looks like jibberish.
Actually quest making can be quite easy, once you learn where to look for help. I am currently providing a little tutoring for people who would like to learn how to make quests. PM me for more information.

I'll also offer help on scripting. I'm a programming student and I've been scripting MW for quite some time. If you've the patience to learn, or you have any background in programming (preferrably C or C++) then hit me up on AIM or my email and I'll see what I can't do to help get you going.

I would like making quests, but the only program I know to script in is BASIC, and I can't do that very well.

i want to do this but i just dont understand everything in the tutorials and i have not much time now maybe later, but i like it

Hmm.... This sounds like something I've wanted to do, but i have no idea how to create my own quests. My CS thingy is fighting with me, but I have a lot of ideas for quests. And the quests could be different for each race. Maybe. But this project sounds like fun. I wish my scanner would work, I'd like to upload some of the pictures I've drawn and will draw of structures. Also, is it possible for a Dwenmer spirit to exist? It would be cool to get a quest from a Dwenmer spirit, and find out a lot about them.

There already are Dwarven Specters in the game. If you need any help you could as me, and I think Majra's helping those who want to make quests.

If you want to learn to script, PM Majra, and he will set about getting you started with your tutoring.
If you want to simply do the thinking of quests, check out this thread:

Quest creation rocks. I've done one quest and i love it. Now i'm working on learning the ins and outs of dialogue.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 6:22 pm

I'll create some quests, I'm a decent scripter and I've worked a little with dialog. Tell me what needs to be done for quests along with a .esp of the place that I am going to be making quests in, I won't like it if I can't do things in sequence and I'll have to go back and redo dialog and scripts because I don't have object IDs or locations.

Majra · Post by **Majra** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 8:56 pm

the questing process around here is fairly simple.

If you want to write your own quest, create a proposal (you can see many similar ones in the forum) in the quest plots forum

If you simply want to make a quest that was plotted already by someone else, go to the quest plot forum and see which quests are claimable. If you find one you like, create a thread in the quest claiming forum with the appropriate subject line asking for granting.

I'm keen to start on quest creation. I've done the pot-plant senario, read the rather long morrowind scripting for dummies, and now I would like to get to work on a real world quest.

Are there any quest senarios that are not too complex (after all I'm still new to this!) but have easily testable deliverables for training purposes? (i.e. a simple fedex quest?)

In addition, can I submit such work for review? I don't want to start with a real quest but just something small that someone with real scripting experience can look over.

Many thanks,

lamaslany

We don't have quests set up for you to do. You have to think up the quest yourself. Sometimes there are quests that no one has made but which have been planned, and you can do those.

Check out the Quest Ideas Board if you cant think of one.

Welcome to me!

I'd like to say a cheery hello to each and every one of you modders, scripters, writers, builders and of course, the admin. I'm happy to help out in quest writing and have already begun writing quests for this.

For those who want another team member in their area, let me know. I'm more than happy to help out.

Remember: It's writing and making quests, not scripting, building or anything else!

i would like to learn to make quest but im not very experinced with the tes construction set.

Enigma 86 · Post by **Enigma 86** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 1:34 pm

I have minimal experience in making quests and scripting. If someone can help me on the technical side of things I can put my creativity to good use. Are we talking Great House quests? Guilds? Is there some kind of checklist you guys have to figure out what has been done and what needs doing?

Please PM me if you would like me to help.

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 8:29 pm

I'm pretty sure all of the faction questlines are thought up, though there are probably some you can make; you just don't get to make up the quest idea.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sun Jun 05, 2005 3:45 am

Ah, as long as it doesnt include scripting i'm fine with it, my position on scripting is something like a monkey driving a rocket.

I take it I'd just make a new topic for quest idea, yes? I dont intend to sound too new.

kinda off topic but.. i wounldn't mind making factions. it actually would be alot of fun so i ca ndo that if you want

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 10:41 am

Can you script? Are you a good questmaker? Factions are often the hardest questlines to do.

True i can just do interors if you want or i can write books for the shelves.
O and how big is this file when the project is done?

I would like to participate in the quest-making. I'm not good at artistic skills or designing, but I like making up stories. I also made some scenarios to Warcraft II, III and Starcraft.

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 1:10 am

Excellent! Feel free to post your ideas in Quests: Ideas where they will be developed into full plots and then created into quests. The main difference between quests for this and quests for Warcraft or Starcraft (other than lore, ofcourse) is that the player is only 1 character and that the game engine can't take very many NPCs at a time (6 or 7 at most, ideally).

Welcome to TR.

What about people who make the basic form of quests? You know, the people who don't have time to do it in the game, but will tell a scripter what to do, essentially providing the story of the quest to them?

This is basically what we need, ideas, and good ones too. Just post in the Quest: Ideas forum about any ideas, and after (if) it is approved, then someone else (or you if you want) to make it.

I can help with any quests I'm needed to help out with. I'm okay at scripting, and pretty decent at dialog.

I know nothing of scripting, and know no programming languages, but if this is what the community needs, then sign my up and point me in the right direction.

I like your spirit. If you're not an arithmatephobe, you can learn scripting! I think it's the easiest part of TES modding, but that's probably because I'm a math geek.

Here's Scripting For Dummies, a file that is incredibly incredibly useful in learning to script: http://www.quicenter.com/morrowind/files/Morrowind_Scripting_for_Dummies_8.pdf#search='morrowind%20scripting%20for%20dummies%208'

However, if you find that scripting just isn't your thing, there are other things you can do. We need people to write the ideas for quests to, because what's a questmaker without an idea? Feel free to post them in Quests: Ideas.

Good day! I'm new here
I'm not really good at useing TES CS but I have good ideas in my mind, can somebodi make it if I tell my plans?

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 5:16 pm

Just post them in Quests: Ideas and we'll look into it.

Theo · Post by **Theo** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 6:14 pm

We always welcome fresh ideas, unfortunately some people refuse to develop them further. They just post a vague product of quick brainstorming and after first questions or criticism by other members they toss them away and make another post.
We would rather see one well worked out idea then ten shallow.
Give your idea a thought, think of lore and of what other people do for TR and try to match your work on theirs. Do not be afraid to face criticism, answer questions, argue your case and develop your idea if required.
This way your ideas have much bigger chance to survive and be implemented.

ChickenHawk · Post by **ChickenHawk** » Thu Sep 01, 2005 8:00 am

there should a whole section for the "where to create quests" thingy.
because it's hard to do quests, if you don't know what kind of quests are needed, and where.

Melonman64 · Post by **Melonman64** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 1:40 am

Um... I'm new here, but I've been looking around for a few months. I know I could be good at quest making. Also, I'm taking C++ in school right now, so maybe that would be important? I can make any kind of quest, just ask. As soon as I figure out MW scripting, I'm sure I can do anything.

Arsenic · Post by **Arsenic** » Wed Nov 23, 2005 5:33 pm

I have done some quests before ( none published ) and have a shaky knowlege of TES-script.

Also I don't have much time so my work will be a bit slow.

Side note: I have a very slow connection so it is difficuilt for me to upload the current version of TR on a regular basis.
