Virtual's Custom Quest Loader 2.0.3

I have seen a few users mention that quest zones sometimes do not work. Nothing has been reported so I am unsure if this is a genuine issue or user error. If you are sure that you have downloaded everything correctly, and you still cannot complete the quest, please comment the issue alongside your list of mods so I can look into it.

Is it installed properly?

For 3.8.0 and above, you will see 'Virtual's Custom Quest Loader' in user/mods AND you will see 'VCQLQuestZones.dll' in BepInEx/plugins. If you are missing the client mod (.dll), then the zones won't be loaded but there will be no error.

Moving forward, all current and new mods using VCQL will be required to link to this page, instead of including the download within the mod. This has caused confusion for users and creates more issues for support when out of date versions override others.

This does not have to be immediate, however the next update from mods using VCQL should reflect this change.

TLDR: VCQL should not be bundled with another mod.

This mod appears to be broken. No matter what I do, it continues to send a error message saying that this mod is missing the package.json file. The only mod I am using that alters quests is Artem, which says it requires this one. I just upgraded to SPT 3.10.2 from 2.91, but cant get this to work.

ty mate

Im currently having an issue where when going through the 7zip process to put into my spt folder it does not show a bepinex and user folder and i have tried multiple different placements and can not get anything to work

Bro, please add support for Ukrainian language (ua) in locales.

I'm currently having an issue. When I click on the tasks tab while in game, I see nothing. Just an empty list. It then breaks all other tabs I have. Cannot go into gear, overall, health, anything.

When back at the main menu, I can only go into the gear tab, and I actually have to go into the traders tab to see the quests.

I found a post on Reddit that said VCQL bundled with another mod could cause this issue. I had Sanctum Falls installed, which that is the case for. I uninstalled that mod entirely but the issue still persists. Any other ideas? Thank you.

Hi Virtual,

I was trying to make my own personal trader quest on my own trader (trader is working fine standalone) and was encountering this error message.

I do have a lot of mods in SPT and almost all the VCQL traders (the updated ones specifically)

Tried fixing it with a Json formatter and it still didn't fix it.

Hey Virtual! With the addition of sandbox_high to the map list, do you think it would be possible/more efficient to add code to VCQL directly to convert quest locations to "sandbox_high" when the player level exceeds the cap for the normal "sandbox" map? Noticed the "issue" after updating Coyote to 3.9 and am unable to complete Skier's introduction quest because it is pointing towards "sandbox" with no reference to sandbox_high.

Now you *could* just have modders duplicate their entire quest trees for sandbox, change the IDs of the quests/zones/map, and it would still work but it just seems a lot more efficient to automate that process through the framework (if possible).

If you don't feel like it/too much of a hassle, totally understand! Thought I'd at least make the suggestion.

when i click download from here it just takes me to github and then doesnt show a download option that i can see atleast. new to using mods and such so any help with this is appreciated

I can;t seem to get Custom Quest Loader to run properly on my server.

I have copied the folder "Virtual's Custom Quest Loader" to ../user/mods however when I start the server i Get this error:

The application had a critical error and failed to run

Why it always says is missing a package.json??

Hi, fyi your latest release includes .js files with windows paths (

const ConfigTypes_1 = require("C:/snapshot/project/obj/models/enums/ConfigTypes"); )

- which can cause problems. If you simply ship the typescript file instead and remove the js and sourcemap, everything should be fine for everyone, the other files will be rebuilt correctly upon startup. Thanks.

Does the download method mentioned only work on windows 10? Because I tried it and SPT just stopped working and now I have to completely redownload.

this mod not yet updated..
(edit it has been updated to v2.0.2)

search on github SPT 3.9.0 v2.0.2

Should we replace VCQL with the version packaged with custom traders (like Lotus and Scorpion) or use only this version?

Does anybody know, can i make a task for quest that affiliated to something in pmc hideout?

for example a few tasks, that required an second level of workbench or third level of shooting range?

Don't really want to affiliate it to hideout management skill, so if anybody know - i would like to know too.

Everytime i try to hand over a quest item it says quest handover error

So I doubt it matters since you didn't mention it but does load order matter at all should I worry about it being before or after traders

Hey, just one little question. Can we have some kind of GUI for easier quest making in future? It would be so nice to have it

Hi, great mod! It is possible to create a quest in which you need to kill targets using specific ammo?

It always says the package.jsom is missing. Any tips what im doing wrong?

Thank you for making this mod! I am a Chinese player and I want to ask may I repost your mod to our website? Of course I will indicate the source and your name

hi, i'm getting an error.... quest handover error : condition not found or incorrect value qid:.... with the double agent quests when i go to hand in. any thoughts? sorry for 3.80 sorry my bad, forgot i copied the quest folder over from an older install. now i dont remember where i got the double agent questline. investigating now. sorry again to have wasted your time. found it, sorry again was using an old version of lavax's and your quest packs. will wait and see if new ones come up

Experiencing an issue where once I hit Level 10, I can no longer get past the first loading screen. When I remove this mod, it fixes it, but I was really looking forward to the extra content that this mod is required for. Is there any known fix to this?

Is it possible to add more than three new traders at once without blocking the traders with your character portait? E.g. I installed Artem, Mercenary and the three traders from A.E.S. and every trader after Jaeger+2 trader portraits is obstructed by my player info (Name, roubles, euros, my rep and character-portrait)

Is there a scroll bar i didn't see or a keybind?

One question that I can't find any information for: can you install multiple custom quest mods at the same time? Like, if I installed two completely unrelated custom quest giver mods (for example, the "ultimate questing traders" mod as well as the "Maxim" mod) would both of them function, or would it just break everything?

hello im having the same issue as comment below, trying to install for the goblin king quests, iv got the trader on i can buy the items but im not getting any quests. when i load the server i get '0 custom quests loaded' im pretty sure iv followed all the steps correctly

I have an issue. So, custom traders (saria shop, goblin king and one popular girl trader that i've forgot the name) does not have ANY custom quests from them, it's literally just NOTHING which is sad(

Are you open to a PR? Or can I just share a modified version of this with my quests?

I added the ability to add date checks to quests for seasonal things.
