Quest system?
 
I will be adding a lot of side quest / post game content to my hack. I'm wondering how I should manage this. Allow me to explain.

I could just add a bunch of side stuff and leave it for the player to find. But I would rather have some sort of quest list that tells you which quests are completed, in progress, or not started.

My initial idea was add a building in the game where you can talk to an npc and find out which quests you've done and what not. But I thought... is it possible to add something like this to the start menu? Has it been done before? Or perhaps a key item you could use that would pull up a list.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do either/or, OR have a simpler suggestion for some sort of quest system?

Something in the start menu would be too much as quests should be optional, so a Quest Log key item sounds like the best idea. It's relatively simple to implement, too.

That's good news. I'll start looking into that. Of course if anyone has any links to tutorials, that'd be helpful as well.

At this link's thread have a routine to run scripts via items, then you can set it to start any script you want, making possible to open a multichoice box, a dialogue, anything on a script, then you will be able to make your Quest Log script. ^^

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for.

If you're hacking FireRed, you could repurpose the Fame Checker to be a quest checker

Awesome, I will use it too, but for other things.
