Tutorial - Implementing a Basic Quest

Overview

This tutorial will provide an overview of all the steps necessary to implement a quest in a standalone campaign from scratch. It will not delve into any one area in great detail, the goal is to provide a 'big picture' walk through of some of the more commonly desired components in a quest. I will keep adding to it as time permits and when community feedback indicates additional areas of need. The current plan is to cover at least the following issues:

• Creating a new project and getting your first terrain testable.
• Placing and modifying an NPC
• Creating a default dialog for an NPC
• Creating a quest journal
• Enhancing dialogs to reflect quest progression
• Dealing with locked areas and containers

The end goal is to provide both video and written guides for each section. The video will be done first, followed by written guides.
