📰 Big 2.0 News Hello, we have a bunch of changes and new features for you:

IMPORTANT

The package enabled boolean was moved to the new package section. If you have disabled packages you need to move this setting to it's new place under package.enabled. Otherwise all disabled QuestPackages will now be loaded.

package:
  enabled: false

🆕 Quest Templates Thanks to Wolf2323's efforts, we are finally able to release Quest Templates

What is a Quest Template? Do you have quest parts that need to be repeated all over again? Therefore, you just copy and paste them? Or do you have something like a utility quest package? Then Templates are perfect for you.

With Templates you now have a QuestTemplates folder beside your QuestPackages folder. In this folder you can write quests, as you are used to. But they will not get loaded as a quest. Instead you can reference them from any quest package. Then this template will be merged together with the quest package as if it's contents were defined in the quest package. This does not modify the files but happens in the background (Similar to how inheritance works in object oriented programming).

With this concept it is possible to centralise quest code in one place. You can also override specific values from the template per quest package. Additionally, you can use other templates inside a template. And of course a quest package can also inherit from multiple templates!
