TRE QSTFileType

QueST files are the new version of quests that appear with publish 10 when SOE introduced the journal in the game.

Basic Structure

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <quest version="1.0" >
    <tasks availableId="" >
      <task type="" id="" name="" taskOnFail="" >
        <data value="" name="" />
        <data value="" name="" />
        <data value="" name="" />
        ...
        <task type="" id="" name="" taskOnFail="" >
          <data value="" name="" />
          <data value="" name="" />
          <data value="" name="" />
          ...
        </task>
      </task>
    </tasks>
    <list>
      <data value="" name="" />
      <data value="" name="" />
      <data value="" name="" />
      ...
    </list>
  </quest>

We have:

• a XML header
• a quest packet (1 per file)
  • a tasks packet containing 2 things:
    • a task packet (the main one of the quest) containing some informations:
      • name=value
      • ...
      • and 0 or more other task packets which can each contain 0 or more other task packet and so on...
    • a list packet containing some informations:
      • name=value
      • ...

Each variable of the list packet is stored this way:
