Done Is there a chance of getting temp access to HQM Edit book after a reset?

Hi peeps

I understand the problems behind the HQM mod, and that with so many players an occasional reset is required.
I'm just wondering if shortly after getting the reset, we could all get a temporary HQM edit book so we can catch ourselves back up?
The problem in regrowth is that there are so many crafting tasks, so just having the items we've already made is not enough.
For some of the stuff - like the essence quests where you have to turn in so many (for example) orange floral powders, just to get a resource unlocked that we already have, is a real pain!
(obviously, you know this...)

I know HQM edit would require quite an honor system for people to not push themselves past where they were. (but frankly... what's the point in skipping quests? You'll need to complete them at some point or another...)

Just a thought.

(now commencing a few hours of work to catch back up...)

 

If this was implemented I would probably return to the pack. But sadly it would be greatly abused and I'm sure would require a mod or someone higher to be on to use it. Not everyone will be on at the same time to do it so I really doubt it's possible

 

I feel like this won't happen as it may have been suggested already (don't quote me on that) but luckily the mod has recently become open source meaning that it should be "easier" to prevent the issue happening again.

 

Correct. Not possible. Also noticed your sig xD

 

This. Seriously this.

I'm giving it a month before some one comes up with a fix! This mod is highly popular, so I don't doubt some one will jump on it.


Though I really wish we could just get the first chapter autocompleted when we've had to restart. Even to the point of skipping the rewards from it and making all the seeds.

 

Yeah it's mainly the quests where you have to hand in stacks of items to get the essence of something you already have... I haven't gotten to diamonds yet, but when I do... if I have to re-burn howevermany stacks of charcoal again, I'm going to be so sad.

So I haven't been on the server long and there's been two HQM resets already. Is this something that is likely to keep happening like, once a week or so until someone finds a fix? I'm seriously torn about whether I keep playing on the server... I've gotten further than I have in my single player world and it will be so painful to start again, but having to re-do all the quests again and again is a killer...

(LOVE that this is a free server by the way, and I hope people aren't taking this as me complaining too hard. As I said in OP, I understand that this is obviously an ongoing issue and not easy to fix).

RE: people abusing HQM Edit - my thought is... kinda... 'so what'? If people want to skip content, they skip content. It's not a competition. It's not a race to the end. If they want to miss out on a proper play through of the pack... meh. I care little. Do we really need to police this that badly?

 

Fortunately HQM source code is available.
I finished a version which saves player quest progress into a file for each player. Doesnt really prevent the file from corrupting, but if it has to be deleted your progress gets loaded into the file from your personal file.
Needs some testing though. As I am on holiday for a week I can not really test it.
MyM Staff have my updated version already on hand.
Can not promise anything as there are so many things that could go wrong, but singleplayer testing didnt show any issues.
Stay tuned.

 

That's really awesome knoxz!
That's amazing to get something done so fast (even if it's not ready for server use yet)

 

I plan on looking over Knoxz's code and mod on a test server this weekend to see if I can work out any bugs =)

 

And there is a 99% chance im around for testing things if required

 

I'm up for helping with testing as well if needed

 

Keep my up to date. I am back at Wednesday to finish it if nessesary.

 

I'm happy to help however I can.
