What to do with the BQM

gdarai commented 6 years ago

Better Questing is the Quest Book in the game... This is the moment where I/You/We should think about what and how to incorporate in it. Currently there are following concepts:

Overview guide chapter (Done, All Stub)

Guides user from planet to planet, not really quests, more like place for important messages. Quest chapters for technology steps forward (Done, All Stub)
The traditional quests. Do this Craft that... guide through simple tasks Chapter with Markets (Not Done, Only Examples)
How to get resources without mining or food without cooking. How to overcome the pain if we have some trouble? W can BUY what we need. Achievements (Not Even In yet)
Hoarding Quests for every part of the game. Is it easy to get 1000 Gravel? Sure, but before Crusher? Player can show his spirit.

Now this is what I had/have in mind... and in the game is it in the current state so you can go through it and see it in live. The big question is: Is this what we want? How do we want this book to work? Is this concept ok? What would you improve and how?

First make BQM usable at every GUI scale. Normaly I use Large and it doesn't fit on my monitor .

Ok... that is a new one... do you know how to do it? Because I don't. Right now, there is hardcoded position for every quest, that is why I used the smalles scale (Called the Large) so it would fit for every GUI scale... but I am not sure if it can be somehow set to scalable.

But first thing I can think of is to at least test it on every GUI scale so I see how it looks... if you mean this.

Ok... i tried. The current setting is designed for Large GUI. On my screen, when I select Large it nicely fills the screen. On all other GUI settings it fits even better so I think I don't understand what you mean. How does it look on your screen? Do you know that you can use Shift + Scroll to change the size In the Book?

Fruits quest doesn't recognise fruits except lemons.

You are right... I set up wrongly the item stacks for the others. Thanks. It will be fixed now.

I was also thinking about a chapter with cheats... something like: If everything went wrong... this may save you.
