Quests Page

[AbyssalLord]

Hey everyone!  I'm back with another script request.  Actually, this requests comes in two parts which should result in the desired results once fully completed.  Okay, here we go:


1) I need to create a "Quests" page in the menu that will say the name of the quest on the far right.  On the left, should be the
word(s) "------" , "Active" , and "Complete".  Which word is displayed should, of course, be based on whether one has started (Active), not started (------), or completed (Complete) the quest.  In-game, I would like each word to be activated by variables
(0= ------  1= Active    2= Complete).  For the purpose of showing me how to do this, make the quest "Shopkeeper's Quest" and the variable [0001].


2) For this to work, I need an option on the main menu page under "Status" that will open the "Quests" page. 

That's it for this request.  I would also appreciate instructions on how to put this into the script because it seems rather complicated (I've tried to do this myself, but it will not work for me).  Anyhow, thanks in advance for the help! :thumb:

Try this out. It's just a modification of Lambchop's Super Simple Journal script...

Add these 3 scripts right above 'Main'
(right-click on main, select 'Insert')

Thanks for the help, I'll try it out.

EDIT: I tried it out, and it works perfectly!  Rock on! :rock:
