Quests not loading says custom objective null

Slothsc commented 2 years ago

What is your Quests version / build number (do not say "latest")?

4.1.3

Describe the problem and how to replicate it.

Mulltiple quests have suddenly stopped loading in game and no changes have been made. It says custom objective null in the error but multiple of the quests getting that error don’t have custom objectives. The quests are these Griffin nest custom22 Reaching for the sky Zeus custom61 A prophecy before the end- Hera custom71 Midgard serpent custom69 Lights gone out custom70 Material hunting in the seven realms custom77 The end and the beginning- Ragnarok 5 custom78 After the twilight custom76

Any console errors to share?

If applicable, can you provide an example quest from quests.yml?

A few Quests with custom objectives load in game and work fine. But quests with no custom objectives get the error about null custom objectives

PikaMug commented 2 years ago

It appears the output is simply saying there was a problem in trying to load custom objectives because there's an issue with that quest; and not that the quest necessarily has any custom objectives. For this reason there should be a separate warning earlier in the log file that explains why that is.

Some possibilities include an NPC ID being invalid (such as an NPC being deleted without detaching the quest first) or an invalid quest ID for requirement/block (such as if manually removed from file).
