Well, if you are looking for a very *basic* quest code, then I'd suggest
this, because what you are asking for actually may take more coding than you
think.
Make a mob spec_proc for quest mobs so that whenever they get an item that
is an ITEM_QUEST to give the player an ITEM_QTOKEN. Now, this means that
they can do any quest and give this quest item to a mob with the spec_proc
assigned to it, but it's much simpler than writing code to track each
individual one.
With the above idea, you don't need MOB_QUEST flags and such.
Take a look at the other spec_procs in spec_procs.c and you may get some
ideas on how to write your code. You'll have to attach them to a mob vnum
in spec_assign.c when you get it written.
An ITEM_QUEST object type can be added in structs.h along with ITEM_WEAPON
and such. Increase the "NUM_ITEM_TYPES" in olc.h. ITEM_QTOKEN can be added
the same way. This will allow you to create new quest objects and quest
tokens. Although you shouldn't necessarily have to make tokens...let the
spec_proc do that.
