Description

The Bitwise Quests and Tasks system is fundamentally a set of functions that assist new scripters in organizing and creating their quests while impressing experienced scripters by using binary techniques to cut down on the number of integers that need to be stored to make a functioning quest. The ratio of this consolidation is 31 Quest States to 1 Integer, where each quest state is basically a 'Yes or No'. The BQT System has now reached version 1.7, which fixes a very critical bug discovered by jingleheimer. If you were having trouble getting the BQT to work correctly, it should function properly now. I'm sorry that this problem existed as long as it did but I'd like to remind everyone that if something doesn't work, you need to let me know about it because I honestly didn't realize that there was a bug. Besides bug fixes, the BQT's most used functions have been rewritten to be sleeker, and 3 new functions have been added. With version 1.6, the BQT has become much more than the fundamentals. This new release adds support for the NWNX Database Alternative, persistent journals, a new user include to make new updates easier to import, two seperate types of party functions, bug fixes, automatic cacheing to reduce read times, and finally tutorials and script templates to walk even a non-scripter through their first quest and the tools to easily make more. 

 

With the BQT, it's easy to bring your world alive, having townspeople congratulate your heroes on all of their good deeds while shunning away from villains who've become infamous for their greed. Without memorizing any NPC tags or stuff like that, quickly and easily write a new quest and let everyone in town know about your deeds. 

 

So take the work out of making quests so you can take more time fleshing them out and making a great world.
