Team:
Hawox
Laxlux - New German quest list maintainer
HiMyNameIsAJ - Creating a uQuest website
Looking for:
Someone to make a nice looking website for uquest (Not my cup of java).
Someone to add MySql support.
Plugin attachment devs!
Someone with ideas on different quest types!
People to write some random quests to be thrown in the defaults!
Welcome the new web design team member -> HiMyNameIsAJ <-! Let's hope to see some good work from him. Once his work is posted there will be sections of the website dedicated to the different extensions for this plugin. Once that takes off I'll start releasing uQuest in it's split up form.

I'm hoping to get a few Plugin devs to work on maintaining their own/different attachments for uQuest. This way it can continue to grow and allow me to spend most of my limited time on updating the base uQuest (better API, more quests, etc.). Ask everyone you know that likes programing! They will get their share of the credit as well as well as some spotlight on plugin creation with minimal work of their own!

Alright here goes, theres a lot to cover so I may miss something on this first go threw! Want a better way to get money into your server economy that selling items to the server or random lottery's? Do you like QUESTS?!?! Do you want your users to compete to see who is a better quester? Then uQuest might be for you!

uQuest offers your users a simple way to quest! No need to walk miles and miles to a random NPC or click on some block at spawn. All they need to do is type '/uquest give' and uQuest will give them a random quest from it's database! A yml file is provided where you type out each quest for your users. That's right. YOU can decide how many quests there are, what they are, and how you want your users to do them (creating and editing this file are explained on the wiki). You can broadcast every x quests someone finishes to the server as well as give out rewards for x amount of quests. I'll leave the rest for the features section, just thought I'd get you hooked with that :3 If you grab the .zip (which you need to if you want to store your users in a SQLite database!) I have included 53 quests inside!

All of that not enough? Well theres an API! Other plugin authors can use this as a base for their own plugins!

Here's a quick screenshot of what the text looks like:

~Features~
(I may miss a few, there's quite a bit)
Completely customizable quest system.
Simple interface with everything in the '/uquest' command.
Quest system that gives users a random quest each time.
File allowing you to add/modify/remove any and all quests you want.
Stat tracking for users.
Several different quest types to play with.
A reward system that gives users a random reward from a list YOU create.
-You can set the interval in the config file
Server broadcasts with peoples quest progress.
-You can set the interval in the config file
Leveling system based on quests completed.
-Again, you can set the interval.
Quests difficulty scaling to match a users quest level.
-You can turn this on/off in the config
Ranking system. (almost done with)
Flatfile and SQLite support (Possible plans for MYSQL... I have never touched it before)
Most likely something else I missed.
API!!!
Everything else can be found on the wiki page.

~Quest Types~
All of these can have specific locations set to them! (Can only do in this area etc)
(More to come I promise!!)
Gather
-Having the items/block in their inventory.
Block_Destroy
-Breaking blocks.
Block_Damage
-Punching blocks.
Block_Place
-Place blocks anywhere in the world.
Kill
-Killing monsters/animals.
Move

~Commands~
(More to come I promise!!)
/q , /quest , /uQuest
-Basic commands for this plugin. (Can be disabled serverwide in the config)
/reloadquests
-Reloads the quests from the quests file.
/reloadquestconfig
-Reloads the config file. (DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING WITH DATABASES WHILE THE SERVER IS RUNNING!!!)

~Watch out~
With great power (of customization)... Come's great responsibility.... There is a lot that can go wrong if you don't pay attention when your changing files. Thankfully, I've tried to have the plugin spew out as many warnings as it could on the servers start. Always give it a check to make sure the plugin loaded all of your work!!!

~Plugin Attachments~
(These plugins add new features to the basic uQuest system)
_________________________________________
uQuest-MoreModCommands
Just started this as an example of what people can do. All it currently has is /qadmin givequest
OP's and people with the permissions (not required for this either) node 'uQuest.MoreModCommands' can use it.
_________________________________________
uQuest-ShowTracker
Simply shows someones progress on a quest everytime they do something for it. IE. I punch a log as part of my quest (grey text)Log Punches 7/10.
Just put the jar into your plugins folder and it will work on it's own!
Updates needed: Move quests | Picking up items. | Support for uQuest levels
_________________________________________
uQuest-AutoComplete
Completes quests automagicly! Works with the same methods as showtracker so it has the same flaws. There is this weird bug when running both at the same time that spams some weird extra text. Try to ignore it for now.
Just put the jar into your plugins folder and it will work on it's own!
Updates needed: Move quests | Picking up items. | Unknown status on working with quest levels. | Odd text bug with showtracker/this mix.

~Plugins using the API~
(These plugins use the uQuest API to shape their own plugin)
PuzzleQuest

***PLEASE*** Post then entire error from your console when you ask for help. Giving me this little of information will not get you help:
"An internal error occured while performing this command."
"[Server] null loading Hawox's uQuest v1.01 <Is it up to date?>"

I don't have hours to look threw your quest files. If you've checked all your formating and are SURE that it's my fault, or that you are just stumped and can't spot the error then post it here. I can't look over everyones quest files. If you give me the ENTIRE error from console I can narrow it down.
Since people don't read the above, I'll post this again here so I don't have to write the reply back to this anymore.
Maybe someday people will read the post when asking for help so I can actually give them good information. Post the your start-up, config, the error before/after/during. I can't magically see what's going on in your server. The plugin works perfectly for me so any errors you guys get I can not replicate. I need to see all of your information that makes your position different from mine so I can help.
