    Well, a tool to feed npc's with quests (also emotes), connect them to the world(map), compass and items (needed to solve and of course as rewards) and providing the ability to set flags.

    All we need to make -bugfree- quests :)

    Those are things i cant do, not cause i dont know how but because its just impossible to create any in game content with lua. I can't feed npc with quest, that would be inky (when its fully implemented), connect them to the world map? not sure what that mean. Compass and items and reward is nothing i can work with, thats a dev job at catnip and ability to set flags (pvp?) thats another thing only catnip's dev can do.

    If something dont exist within the system, lua cant do it.

    That's what this thread is about:
    We need a well-functioning and clear quest journal that shows us in a simple way what needs to be done where.

    If we have to wait for full integration of lua and inky - how long have we to wait for what was told since mid of last year for to be done this year with Episode 2?

    I didn't mean pvp-flags. I talked about quest flags:
    Quest active (Y/N)
    Required action done / item found? (Y/N)

    Connected to the map means:
    Quest to find A in B-Town.
    Questmarker on compass and questmarker in B-Town needed.

    That's the reason, why I am thinking it's not that easy.
    I have really no doubt that you could do it - but as you said:
    You only can do, what the system allows to do ...

    It's still a question of time and priorities.

    As mentioned LUA and Inky well tools being offered in away for players was more so designed for ep2 content for the devs to use for better quests and control of underlying systems. So well they develop the tech for them to use they are opening it up to players to utilize in some fashions at the same time.

    All things good in time... that's the optimist inside me talking.
