Well fear no more. We're proud to present the Quest Calculator!
With the proper setup, the Quest Calculator will tell you:
- Can the user do the quest yet? (i.e. Proper level)
- Is the user the proper race/class? (i.e Gaunt One for Gaunt Quest)
- Does the user have the needed items to proceed with the quest?
A simple setup for Megamud will insure that you always get the proper information
needed by my program.
To use this setup, the Mudop/Sysop would type:
ABILITY CHECK <user>
Megamud would then give a listing of that users inventory, stats, and ability flags. Open
your scroll back window and select all of the information you were given. Press CRTL-C
to copy the text.
Load Quest Calculator, click PASTE, select your reply options to the user (if needed),
and click Quest Calculate. That's all there is to it!
