Virtual's Custom Quests 2.2.4.2

Eventually I'll sort these out for 380

thanks for the reply. i shall wait patiently

Haha, you are probably one of the very few people who like those quests. We shall see what happens

To chime in on this:
I also enjoy search/scavenge quests. If they are some unusual items you usually disregard, even better.

and btw great mod

Make that 2 that like those types of quests lol

If you haven't already gotten an answer to this, you would need to ask in the discord. I don't really touch adding quests to modded traders, just to vanilla ones. It COULD be as easy as setting the traderid to theirs, which would typically be in a base.json file - "_id": "cat". But there may also be some other quest stuff I've seen that the modded trader would need to initialize for quest support.

Thank you, i will try this out

but mod still works regardless, I unno man it is what it is.

?? If you are referring to THIS mod, no it does not come with a package because it is not a server mod itself. It is loaded INTO VCQL and doesn't require one. If VCQL doesn't have a package then let me know, or if it came downloaded from another mod I can't help that unfortunately.

The person who commented below about that issue was referring to VCQL and was on an outdated version.

ah, well thats probably why people are having problems with this. Add a link to VCL so they actually see it lol (and most people dont know what a random abbreviation means)

Wow I really didn't link it. Classic. I'm surprised you're the first one to tell me lol. Thanks for letting me know.

Just double checked the download folder and she's still in there, I'd just reinstall and make sure to follow the install procedure.

Might be because I am on 3.5.8 lol

It's a visit place task, nothing to find, just need to walk into the room.

I've been to the room several times and it doesn't complete the mission, is there anything I'm not doing?

Nevermind, after starting a new profile, the quest worked. Sorry for the false report.

Whoops, uploaded the wrong file by the looks of it. Thank you. Upload is fixed.

Ah yeah. Another bad capitalization. If you open the VCQM json and find

{
                  "_parent": "Location",
                  "_props": {
                    "target": [
                      "Laboratory"
],
                    "id": "VCQM_9_AFF_0_2"
}
}

within VCQM_9, you can change "Laboratory" to "laboratory".

Just checked (returned to the beginning through the Profile Editor), it works.

Thank you very much!!!

same issue with a factory cleaning 2 keep active

We've hopefully identified the quest that was doing this. Thank you for reporting. The latest version should fix this issue.

Thank you, that fixed it for me!

I have absolutely no idea how they were translated. The file was given to me by djanbolt. Is there an issue with the Russian locales?

yes. looks like um..cringe. why did the skier speak differently it's like he's 50 years old and he doesn't understand anything about smuggling

maybe i can translate it normaly? but i can understand how

Haha, fair enough. I had a quick look and they translate back over okay, obviously I can't check them in Russian because I don't speak it. I'm gonna be honest and say that this is probably just my shitty description writing. Probably 'cringe' from the start.

Basically, you just take the English variant of the locales file that is given in the download and change the right side text of each value into the Russian one.

aaand just as i wrote this im stuck in the room and cant get out since the door now doesnt open again

Ah and can I republish it on the oddba forum ?

if you dont mind....

Sorry for the late reply. This pack is actually already translated on oddba. In saying that though, you can do what you like, I don't mind :).

oh ok thank you

This is a bug in the quest definition. You have to adjust an entry in mods\Virtual's Custom Quest Loader\database\quests\VCQM.json.

On line 1131 "laboratory" must be written with a small L, then the quest will work.

"VCQM_9": {
    "QuestName": "Exceptional Marksman: Part 4",

      ]

The kill PMCs using an SVD on labs doesn't seem to be counting kills either.

Specifically, I get the following error in the server launcher:

"Mod Virtual's Custom Quest Loader package.json main property points to non-existing file"

This definitely sounds like an installation issue. I'd probably reinstall both (shouldn't hurt your game) and ensure you put everything where it should be. VCQL should be installed first into the mods folder and the relevant Goblin King files into it (is just a few jsons). I would grab a new download because I'm not sure how the package has any issues since I have tested all current uploads.

I figured it out......im just an idiot and there was an extra root folder, so the server launcher wasnt picking up the correct location. I got it working though, thanks for the reply, and awesome mod!

Then you have installed it wrong. Move the file 'user' inside of the mod files into your SPT folder. Also you need VCQL installed prior for this to work. It is not a standalone mod.

Hi, I have now found out that it is due to the non-existent language file.

I have therefore translated the language file to German. If you want to add this file to the mod then I'll send you the gladly, if more are planned I can also translate them. Otherwise I use the for me. Will the aucuh not upload or send further without permission.

Traps is only required for version 1.0 of this mod. Did you download the correct one? And yeah, I've only got English and Russian translations as of the latest version but you can just copy the locale from 'en' to another language if you can understand both.

I have only installed VCQL and this one. It was only because of the language.

As I said, if you want to use the German translation I send you. I have translated all the quests in German. Also everything works.

I'd be more than happy to add the German translation to the mod. Feel free to send it through

Ah, thank you. Thought I fixed this but apparently not. Download has been updated.

quest "espionage: part 2" survive and extract didnt worked, tried to extract 2 times but still didnt count as extract

quest "elimination conditioning" kill player with DVL-10 on interchange didnt worked. been tried with both version of DVL, not a single kill registered.

Thank you very much. All those quests were set to one session only and that sounds like a nightmare.

ah ok, thank you for your help. And i'll report here if there's another quest bug / troubleshoot.

Its the exact same content, so as long as you remove it from Trap's so they arent both loaded it will be fine. However you dont need to update to this for 3.3.0 as I haven't changed or added any of the quests.

@Virtual are you planning on adding more quests in the future? I would love to see more added as I'm not far from finishing them

I do plan on a load more however, I spent a significant amount of time making the loader since Trap's mod only had so many features and I wanted a large variety of quests (in saying that I also wanted custom images). I'm looking at a quick balance update for the rewards and then will be onto new quests, releasing them 20 at a time hopefully.

In the respective JSON files there is a "name" value for each quest. You can change this value to whatever you like and add something like [Mod] to the front of the name if you want to.

That's a pretty good feature idea for Custom Quests mod. i.e. the ability to autoprefix quest names

Custom Quests 3.1.0 is out!

Now you can differentiate custom quests from vanilla quests thanks to the new default_quest_name_prefix option in config/config.json file

The Zone ID's that I used were backwards, so I believe although it says ZB-014 it's actually ZB-016, so hopefully that one works.

The bug was sitting in front of the screen. I had the Version in use where i fixed the Tar Cola Quest. Sorry for the false alert. =)

The issue for this one isn't the guns, it's because the location is set to Customs instead of Interchange. I've updated the file and you can just replace if you'd like, or you can just hotfix it by searching for the Close and Personal part 2 quest in VCQ_MASTERY_1 and changing the location from 'customs' to 'interchange'. Thanks for the heads up, hope this didn't cause too much of a headache lol.

Hey good to hear. Not a problem at all! Thanks for the mod!

Traps Custom Quests works with 3.2.5 and is 3.2.0, so I'd assume so, yes.
