Version Alpha R6 Release Notes


Hi all, this plugin was updated to version Alpha R6 today!

This update adds the heavily requested on-map tracker window so your player can track quest objectives and see their progress on the map. This quest tracker uses the built in pin functionality, so if the player pins a quest it will show up in the map tracker. You do not need to use the tracker at all if you do not want to, even if you want to allow the player to pin quests. Below is a gif of how the quest tracker may look:

So, how does the quest tracker work? If enabled, when the player pins a quest, they will see it in the quest tracker window. The quest tracker window itself can be configured to only show a certain amount of quests, even if more are pinned. You can also set the x, y, width, and max height the window can take up on screen. The x, y, and width values are unchanging, while the height will resize based on the text displayed up to the maximum height. You can also set whether or not clicking within the quest tracker window blocks touch ui movement or not.

There were also a few other things changed in this update. All text should now support text codes, and additional customization for header lines has been added. A small bug that accidentally declared a global variable was fixed, and a bug with auto-tracked objectives not automatically completing in some cases was also fixed. The date format now takes the user's locale into account. Integrations were added for [CGMZ] Scene Backgrounds and [CGMZ] Controls Window. The order of this plugin and [CGMZ] Toast Manager should no longer matter in the Plugin Manager.

Important

Some parameters had their types changed. These include the Empty Quest Board Text parameter, and each quest's unstarted description, unstarted objective, and board description. Categories also had their category description parameter type changed. When updating, you will need to go through each of these and set them back to what you had before. The text should all be there, but be in json format after you update which you will need to change back.

Note

This plugin is very popular and has had quite a few requests pile up while working on the major feature of the quest tracker. I plan to update this plugin more frequently to address some of these smaller requests that have been going unfulfilled. I expect that there will be a lot of feedback for customizations in the quest tracker as well that will be part of these smaller but more frequent updates. Along with this, additional parameter types will be changing in future updates. I did not want to change too many parameters all at once and make the update process too difficult.
