→Quests: new section
== Quests ==
← [[Modding:Index|Index]]
This page explains how the game stores quests. This is an advanced guide for mod developers.
==File format==
All scripted quests are stored in an XNB file in the following directory <tt>Content\Data\Quests.xnb</tt>. If you want to add more quests, it is recommended that you make a new XNB package and use the content loader to load them into the game.
===Key===
Each quest key must be unique positive integer. As of writing this, there doesn't appear to be any limitation on the size of the number (aside system architecture). It is recommended that you use something like the last 5 digits of your Nexus ID number as the first 5 digits and add quest IDs after that.
===Parameters===
The values of the JSON elements follow a format much like that of the [[Modding:Dialogue#Format]]; using a forward slash delimited string to store its parameters. These parameters represent the following details about the quest.
