Visual Quest Editor

[JorisVanEijden]

The way I'm approaching this ties the nodes to the internal quest format directly.
See the quest data jason in your save game to get an idea what's in there.
With some effort it would be possible to generate Template from that later.

Grouping nodes has no official xnode implementation yet but there are some options.

It's a lot of fun to play with so I'm going to continue this for a while. I'll try to commit progress periodically to the branch in my github fork: https://github.com/stellargames/daggerf ... est-editor

If DFU ends up going the route of the original Doom engine and OpenMW where it is used to create entirely original games, it would definitely be invaluable. I think it would also be a great tool to have for DFU itself but I'm not sure if the amount of time required to build and maintain it is worth it at this point. I guess that's a decision that only you can make as the developer.

In any case, it's looking great and even if you decide to halt development, seeing that it can be done is encouraging

A big question behind this, I think, is if it motivates anyone to begin/continue writing quests. That'll be a good determinant to continue working or not.

It would certainly motivate me. I know how to program just with source code, but visual tools are always helpful.

Wow, personally I can totally see myself using this to make quests. I use similar tools at work.

Looking good so far!

This looks great! Love the work you've done so far.

Even if it never gets merged or released it's a lot of fun to do. And a great learning experience.

I just implemented a message editor:
