Spooky Season Check-in

Hai people! 🎃

I know this plugin doesn't have a lot of attention, but I want to make this just in case any people are curious what's happening or why a new version hasn't been posted for four weeks.

In the last version (v0.7) you are able manage where your action is in your quest with a 'sequence' that has: 'previous', 'current' and 'next' options.

Already that is sort of confusing to what it means. It also only allowed one action for each option. This made it basically impossible to do multiple endings or really anything fancy. All while being very complicated to understand.

This is going ba-bye, which thankfully since this plugin is small i don't think anyone will miss it. Also it looks like the change to quest templates shouldn't impact anyone, since bStats says only the test server is currently running PlayerQuests.

TL;DR / So what is replacing it?

I've chosen to redesign the ordering of actions with just simplicity in mind.

In the coming version (probably released next month) you will:

• Pick from a list of actions which ones come next.
• Have the ability to set conditions for when those actions can start / finish (such as: the time of day, or a set of required actions to have finished first).

Happy Halloween :)
