Can you create your own contracts within the game?

[Robotic223]

I wanted to know if there was a mod for this that could be used. Wouldn't require much change to how they are coded, just thought it would be cool to have several versions of the same contracts but with different text describing what it is.

Thank!

You can create your own quest.

You'll be using existing contracts but you can type anything you want in the description between the contracts. (pops up in chat window).

Don't know if that will please you but creating a quest is both challenging and fun.

Marvin once created a "Race quest" that several players did at the same time. Answers to several in quest questions had to
be presented at the finish line to make sure you did the whole race quest. Great fun. And yeah, of course I won the thing LOL!:P

That is awesome! I have always dreamed on writing for game developers and creating back stories, history, writing out quests... Often had daydreams about writing for Bethesda and their elder scrolls games with all the books and the immersion they create.

You can also change the text in the game's text.dat file ... or most any of the data files (open them with Notepad). Be advised, though, that every time you update the game, you run the risk of overwriting your modifications to those text files. So, it behoves you too keep copies in a safe place.

Awesome! I have some interesting ideas I want to do...

I'll get working on this and share what i came up with

Let me know if you decide to create your own quest ... but can't get it to work. There are (as SeeJay has learned) a few tricks to it.

I will use this thread to record my progress. I am not too computer savvy but if it is easy enough I can post how I got it done and maybe others (also not so computer savvy) can follow suit.

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION!!!

THIS IS GOING TO BE A DREAM FOR ME!!!

It's not complicated at all.
"only" a text file to work with.

The hard part is to wrap your head around
how/when things are triggered. (next event)

I think I have a "dummy file" to get you
started if you want it. Just u2u your email
to me snd I'll send it. I'll even include a list
with all available contracts/objectives you can
use.

If they gave out trophies for being awesome you would win everytime!

LOL. Thanks Robotic.

Email send with a "Quest Starter Pack" to get you started.

I to was a noob in every aspect once and people like Marvin, Busch, Bossk and
others helped me a lot.

Marvin is a wizard when it comes to Quest making. Without his help with my quest
my head would probably have exploded!
