Help With A Quest Tracking Mod Idea.

Post by Magicono43 »

I'm trying to make a mod that adds a UI element to either the right or left side of the Quest log screen (there is a lot of open space on this screen). The purpose being that each element would be a sort of quest tracker that would at least tell the player how long an active quest has before it expire/auto-fails. I know the game already tracks this in the log, but I would like to make it cleaner so the player does not have to scrolls through multiple pages of the log just to see how much time they have left.

With this in mind, I started looking for the pieces of data I was going to be using to put said text on the screen, mainly what displays in the quest log how many days an active quest has before it expires. I found some useful information, but not the thing I was exactly looking for. I have seen inside some of the .txt files for quests where this value would be placed, sometimes called "=queston_" followed by the word days, but this does not really lead me anywhere.
