MHF-Quest-Resources

A lot of what is in this repo is experimental and is not guarenteed to be functional.

The quest editor currently has a lot of the necessary functions to be used for most purposes. It is now in state that is "usable." Although very clunky and messy. I primarily plan to work on ease-of-use rather than adding any extra features at this moment in time.

Contributing

If you have information, resources, or code to share, please do! Feel free to open an issue or a pull request. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Note: When contributing code, please try to use the main branch, legacy is the original, and should not be updated.

I don't have a lot of free time, so I work on bits and pieces while I can. I would really appreciate any help that I can get. I would work more on this if I could, but it's slow going. At the current rate, you can expect 1-2 updates per month.

TODO / IMPORTANT INFORMATION / THINGS TO CONTRIBUTE (Feel free to contribute if you know anything listed here).

  • The quest tool cannot reliably edit files other than ones ending in d0 (day, warm). Whether this affects replacing quests is untested.
    • It might be possible to simply duplicate the quest multiple times, replacing the d0 with other values. If someone tested or knows about this, please open an issue.
    • Although the quest tool works the best on d0 type quests, it does work on other types with mixed results. (Different offsets?) How this affects quest replacing is untested.
  • The FrontierTools\output-tests directory includes a couple of examples of valid quest logs. You can use these as a reference point.

Information

Quest Information

  • Quest file format information: Example: 21978d0.bin
  • 21978 - Quest ID(?)
  • d / n - Day / Night
  • 0 / 1 / 2 - Warm Season / Cold / Breeding
  • Quest information is found in mhfinf.bin. Note: Whether ReFrontier tools cover this file sufficiently is unknown.

Thanks to suzaku830 for this information!

Documentation

Building

  • Download .NET SDK / Direct download
  • Run git clone https://github.com/ricochhet/MHF-Quest-Resources.git
  • Enter the source directory using cd MHF-Quest-Resources\FrontierTools
  • To build; use dotnet build, or you can use it from source via dotnet run <integration> <arguments>
  • If you are not using this tool from source, open a command prompt in the build directory (next to the .EXE).

Usage P.1 (Integrations)

This tool implements both a quest reader and writer (limited), as well as ReFrontier tools (see: Resources).

Quest Reader / Writer

Note: If you want to actually write to file via the quest writer. Change Debug variable in FrontierTools\Tools\QuestTool\QuestWriter.cs to false.

  • Integration name: QuestTool
  • Example usage: QuestTool <arguments>.

Commands

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -log - Logs quest information to a file. (FrontierTools/output/).
  • QuestTool -strToHex My Text - Converts a string to a hex / byte string.
  • QuestTool -decToByte My Decimal - Converts a decimal value to hex / decimal bytes. Example usage - QuestTool -decToByte 7000000
  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit - Initialize quest editor tools.

Note: See FrontierTools\Utils\ObjectiveDictionary.cs for values. THIS DETERMINES WHAT TYPE OF VALUES THE OBJECTIVE GOAL LOOKS FOR, E.G: ITEM / MONSTER (DELIVERY / SLAY)

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -mobjType - Sets MAIN objective type. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -mobjType 01,00,00,00
  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -aobjType - Sets SUB A objective type. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -aobjType 01,00,00,00
  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -bobjType - Sets SUB B objective type. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -bobjType 01,00,00,00

Note: See FrontierTools\Utils\MonsterDictionary.cs or FrontierTools\Utils\ItemDictionary.cs for values.

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -mobjGoal - Sets MAIN objective goal. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -mobjGoal 176
  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -aobjGoal - Sets SUB A objective goal. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -aobjGoal 176
  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -bobjGoal - Sets SUB B objective goal. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -bobjGoal 176

Note: See FrontierTools\Utils\LocationDictionary.cs for values.

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -objLocal - Sets quest location. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -objLocal 25

Note: Working with 4 byte values can be tricky. For example, the bytes for 7,000,000,000 is C0, CF, 6A, 00, but each byte needs to be converted to a decimal. Converting each byte will give you the proper output of 192 207 106 00. There is a command to help with this. Check: -decToByte.

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questFee - Sets the quest fee. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questFee 100,00

  • Unsafe Flag: It's not fully tested whether the quest fee can / uses all 4 bytes in any scenario. The -unsafe flag allows you to use a maximum of 4 bytes. You can use this flag via ``QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -unsafe -questFee 192,207,106,00` as an example. Without it, you can use a maximum of 2 bytes. Although you can write in any amount of bytes you want without the unsafe flag, it will always take a maximum of 2.

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRewardMain - Sets the primary quest reward. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRewardMain 100,00

  • Unsafe Flag: It's not fully tested whether the primary quest reward can / uses all 4 bytes in any scenario. The -unsafe flag allows you to use a maximum of 4 bytes. You can use this flag via ``QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -unsafe -questRewardMain 192,207,106,00` as an example. Without it, you can use a maximum of 2 bytes. Although you can write in any amount of bytes you want without the unsafe flag, it will always take a maximum of 2.

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRewardA - Sets the primary quest reward. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRewardA 100,00

  • Unsafe Flag: It's not fully tested whether the primary quest reward can / uses all 4 bytes in any scenario. The -unsafe flag allows you to use a maximum of 4 bytes. You can use this flag via ``QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -unsafe -questRewardA 192,207,106,00` as an example. Without it, you can use a maximum of 2 bytes. Although you can write in any amount of bytes you want without the unsafe flag, it will always take a maximum of 2.

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRewardB - Sets the primary quest reward. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRewardB 100,00

  • Unsafe Flag: It's not fully tested whether the primary quest reward can / uses all 4 bytes in any scenario. The -unsafe flag allows you to use a maximum of 4 bytes. You can use this flag via ``QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -unsafe -questRewardB 192,207,106,00` as an example. Without it, you can use a maximum of 2 bytes. Although you can write in any amount of bytes you want without the unsafe flag, it will always take a maximum of 2.

Note: See FrontierTools\Utils\RankDictionary.cs for values.

  • QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRank - Sets quest rank. Example usage - QuestTool ./path/to/quest.bin -edit -questRank 11
