We've had a pretty successfull first week. There have been over 1200 downloads so far. Approximately 33% of the downloads were the Quest Builder, so we should start to see some more user quests very soon.

We have prepared an area of the forums for the sumbission and download of user quests, and we currently have our first user quest "Hidden Evil" available for download.

Additionally there are a number of tutorials available on our forums for the Quest Builder. One of our users, Ramu, has even created a Screen Cam tutorial of a single flag quest!! Very helpfull.

I am currently developing the new version of the system and the builder and you can see what functionality I have proposed for the next release in the General section of our forums.

1. Optimize! QMS is currently developed in VB. We are in the process of rewriting the entire system in C++ in order to ensure the greatest level of performance.

4. Group based questing.
5. NPC's with quest rewards!
6. Doors and levers.
7. In-Game quest builder assistant.
8. Flowcharting.

1. After selecting a quest from the drop down clicking on the Activate Quest button does nothing. QMS has been tested with the only official release of Decal 1.1.0.0. We do not currently support any other versions. Please verify that you are running 1.1.0.0. Also make sure that you have the latest versions of messages.xml and memlocs.xml. Both files can be updated by clicking on the "Update" button in the DenAgent.
2. When log in to AC there is already a quest selected and the activate button says Continue Quest. When I click on the button nothing happens. Your quest has become out of synch with a state file. Log out of AC and go to the QMS directory in explorer. Delete the file called State.qsf. When you log in to AC again, the QMS plugin should be in its default state.
3. How do I install new quests? Simply put any new quest files in the same directory as the QMS plugin. The next time you log into AC you should see any new quests as a choice in the Quest drop down list.
