I need a teacher!

[sainter222]

Hey guys ima keep this simple. I want to create seperate profiles for each questing zone and eventually be able to comple them into the loremaster achievment.

I have done my best to make questing profiles but every time I seem to reach problems.

I know people will be like "read the wiki" "look at this guide" but you cant ask a guide "so what happens when this isnt working" etc.

If anyone out there has some time to give me advice on creating quest profiles I would be extremely greatful. All i need is one person to teach me and then I will go out and make the quest profiles for as many zones as possible.

Best way to learn is from trial and error. Take a look at profiles made by experienced profile writers. If you get stuck on something make a post on here (do a forum search 1st) or you can try asking the question on irc in #honorbuddy-support or #honorbuddy channels on Quakenet server

sainter, it's a lot harder than it looks

the easiest thing to do is learn C# and write behaviors before writing profiles, because that's the bottle neck atm are behavior writers (or lack of time from them)

Well even the most simple quests I have problems with sometimes.

For example can anyone tell me what the problem with this quest is?

<!-- Darkmist Extermination (level 36) -->
<!-- Destroy 8 Darkmist Eggs in Darkmist Cavern. -->
<!-- Classes: Any -->
<!-- Races: Any -->
<!-- http://www.wowhead.com/quest=25051 -->
<!-- Darkmist Egg -->
<PickUp QuestName="Darkmist Extermination" GiverName="Krog" QuestId="25051" GiverId="4926" />
<Objective QuestName=Darkmist Extermination" QuestId="25051" Type="Collect" CollectCount="8" ItemId="205267" />
<TurnIn QuestName="Darkmist Extermination" TurnInName="Krog" QuestId="25051" TurnInId="4926" />

Edit: I dont need to know how to do the complicated quests, even just the simple go here quests and collecting quests.

Then i can use that thing kickazz uses in his profiles where u get a dialog telling the user to do a quest.

well you have to tell us why it's not doing the quest...

does it give you an error, does it run around and not open the eggs? what's the issue

oh, i see the issue. you're doing it all wrong.

accept the quest, then push the "quest order" button and that will generally generate what you need for most quests. You never collect a gameobject! you always collect the item id, and if it's not collecting it, then you quest override it with the gameobject in the override to loot from

you get the override in from the "active quest list" button... and then you stick that above or below the questorder itself, but not inside of it

What software do you use to create? I kind of want to give it a shot one day!
