Version .201 is up.  Come try it out and let me know what you think?  

Also, I'd love to see some quests start getting posted.  I have a few that I've made now that are probably good enough to share. 

An nice improvement, but perhaps I should wait to assist until the layout is final.  It will be easier to deem the ease of use of the application and design the UI accordingly if you keep it a bit cleaner during development.

1. Be able to add objectives in any order and have them go to any other objective?

2. Add a game modifier to each quest objective (i.e. give money, units, items, health, damage, etc to units before a fight)

3. Add graphics to each quest choice (backgrounds, response medallions, etc)

It looks really good so far. One suggestion: In addition to being able to add objectives at different places in the list, I would also like a way to edit past objectives I have put in. That would have to take into account that I may want to alter which one is the finisher for the quest.

Thanks for the bug reports.  I will look at fixing the problems.  I didn't realize the random items went in a different field.  I've been so busy working on the program, that I haven't had a chance to play much with the quests that are produced, so I really appreciate the testing.   

Interesting thought about adding the wizard "metadata" to a separate field that is not used by the game.   That could work.  It could get pretty big however.  

Thanks for the encouragement.

Version .206 is up.   See the changelog for details.   Ability to add items on objectives and monster grouping in encounters are the biggest changes.

So do you have suggestions on what to add next?  I want to keep it simple enough to make it approachable (I hope it is now, it may still be too complicated right now), but useful enough that experience modders will still use it.

When selecting rewards do you think it would be possible to display what the items are? Like a small tooltip showing what unitstats they provide? And/or description for items you don't wear.

In the tactical maps list you are including Triggerdata files, those are not map files.

The third text field when adding an objective needs to be more clear, I had no idea what it was. The "choice text". It is the story presented to the player as he arrives at a location or whatever.

It does look like there are a few trigger data filenames in the tactical map list, but most of the list should work I am getting it from the data\Maps\TacticalMaps directory from Fallen Enchantress.   I'll have to figure out where I should get the list if that is not correct.

Yeah, the choice text is a left over from the xml.   I'll have to modify it with something more understandable.  YOu should have a hint from reading the tooltip though.  Hopefully it is more clear.

Going from Frogboy's suggestion, I don't know if that is something that I'll have in the basic quest wizard.  Is that something you think most people would like, it maybe too complicated to explain?   Mostly I have to figure out how to assign what objective to go to next in an easy to understand way before I give more than accept or reject type of choices.     

The objective window is getting a little too crowded at the moment and I need to split it apart if I add anything more.

What I may do is add a list (like the objective or reward list) where you can add choices to your objectives, that way you can have more than 1.  

I'll see what I can do to get the stats of the items in the tooltip, or at least a description.  

So if you have a choice that goes to an objective that hasn't been created yet, how would you suggest showing that to the user.   I.e. choice 1 goes to end quest, choice 2 goes to Quest Objective 3, choice 3 goes to Quest Objective 4   (both 3 & 4 haven't been defined).

And if I can piggyback on top of that request, make it toggleable.  So that users can easily move between the two, in order to see which better suits their needs and immediate capabilities.

0.3 version is coming soon!

couple of notes:  

• I've decided that I am probably already doing the "advanced" version even if I wanted to do the basic version. What I have now is probably already too complex for the beginning user.
• Add multiple choices per objective 
• Add reordering of objectives (i.e. choices lead to what objective)
• Added more places to add "rewards" i.e. game modifiers (before objectives, after choices)
• Added reward images, choice images

Next after that will be editing past objectives as well as deleting objectives, monsters, choices, etc. from lists.

Wonderful! I have just a little more mod work to do and then I will be jumping in for some questing fun.
