Questing Profile Suggestion

[Doll]

Hey Mates.

My Suggestion is this:

When you list the quest in etc the forcequestlist, we get the additional command called Action.

The Action Command got 3 options. Pickup, Complete and Turn In.

This is what they would do:
<quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth" action="Pick Up"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth" action="Complete"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth" action="Turn In">
The Action Command: Pickup. Will pick up the quest.

The Action Command: Complete. Will Do the Quest Objectives needed to complete the Quest.

The Action Command: Turn In. Will Turn in the Quest.</quest></quest></quest><quest action="Pick Up" name="Cutting Teeth" id="788"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth">
<complete><objective type="Grind" mobid="3098" killcount="8"><hotspots><hotspot x="-592.9129" y="-4261.523" z="38.95613"><hotspot x="-520.095" y="-4285.138" z="39.93668"><hotspot x="-506.9751" y="-4311.096" z="41.42326"><hotspot x="-497.1272" y="-4343.397" z="38.30433"><hotspot x="-452.3828" y="-4338.572" z="46.10706"><hotspot x="-420.5891" y="-4317.517" z="44.48593"><hotspot x="-435.7233" y="-4289.851" z="42.36035"><hotspot x="-449.4518" y="-4247.161" z="50.08619"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth" action="Pick Up"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth" action="Complete"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth" action="Turn In"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth">
I Uploaded a example of how I would make a profile with those added suggestions.
Sometimes I speak in riddles and you will get a much better idea of what i mean, if you look at the uploaded suggestion profile.

<complete><objective type="Grind" mobid="3098" killcount="8"><hotspots><hotspot x="-592.9129" y="-4261.523" z="38.95613"><hotspot x="-520.095" y="-4285.138" z="39.93668"><hotspot x="-506.9751" y="-4311.096" z="41.42326"><hotspot x="-497.1272" y="-4343.397" z="38.30433"><hotspot x="-452.3828" y="-4338.572" z="46.10706"><hotspot x="-420.5891" y="-4317.517" z="44.48593"><hotspot x="-435.7233" y="-4289.851" z="42.36035"><hotspot x="-449.4518" y="-4247.161" z="50.08619"><hotspot x="-469.432" y="-4218.266" z="50.08669"><quest id="788" name="Cutting Teeth"><complete><objective type="Grind" mobid="3098" killcount="8"><hotspots><hotspot x="-592.9129" y="-4261.523" z="38.95613"><hotspot x="-520.095" y="-4285.138" z="39.93668"><hotspot x="-506.9751" y="-4311.096" z="41.42326"><hotspot x="-497.1272" y="-4343.397" z="38.30433"><hotspot x="-452.3828" y="-4338.572" z="46.10706"><hotspot x="-420.5891" y="-4317.517" z="44.48593"><hotspot x="-435.7233" y="-4289.851" z="42.36035"><hotspot x="-449.4518" y="-4247.161" z="50.08619"><hotspot x="-469.432" y="-4218.266" z="50.08669"> I think that if those options existed it would be possible to make alot smoother profiles than atleast i am able to create now.

And i know that you devs are working night and day on HB allready. And your doing a damn great job.
So you proberbly dont even need any suggestions. But just though i would post it anyway

Thanks for reading this

I think this is a great suggestion and I was just going to post it myself. This is how PPather's questing system worked, it allows you to create a linear questing profile which means you level much more efficiently. Just before glider went bust and PPather was obsolete I was part of a team devolping a 1-80 questing profile based on the Zygor guides plug in. This meant that this kind of scripting was essential for the questing profile to follow the exact order of the Zygor guide.

For this type of scripting to work another feature would have to be implimented, the abililty for a profile to load a preprocessed task in this case a quest. This means every quest would have its own file on the drive that HB could call upon when needed, to save it having to load and process a big old file.

However I could be talking shit because I've been out of the game since 2008 but if this was possible then I would love to start working on another 1-80 all inclusive profile.

There are loads of suggestions like these, HB team could be working more on this.

I know lately they are having some bug fixes, I think it would be better if they release small fixes for bugs, instead of having a week full of bugs and fixing all of them 1 week later.

Hopefully we'll see something like this soon.

does any one know if this is possible as yet as i think it will make profiles so much easier??

I investigated the API Documentation for HB2 and theres some promising looking Class Methods for plugins such as

public void AcceptQuest()
public void CompleteQuest()
public void DeclineQuest()
</pre>

and other such questframe commands.

So it is possible however you would have to implement the new system in a plugin that would override the current questing functions of Honorbuddy. Doing so would mean you would have to write profiles coded for the plugin rather than honorbuddy itself which I think would be counter productive.
