Naming quest groups

Hey Tony, is it possible to give display names to quest groups? Or to manually change the order that they show up in the journal?

I'd like to have Main Quests at the top, then Side Quests, then Companion Quests, but currently the groups are showing in alphabetical order.

(This is DS's quest system I'm using, not QM)

Hi,

You can define a field named "Group Display Name". The quest log window will sort on the Group value, but it will show the Group Display Name.

For example, say you have 3 quest groups in this order: Shire, Rivendell, and Mordor.

If you only use Group, the quest log window will show them in this order:

Mordor
Rivendell
Shire

But let's say you set them Group and Group Display Name fields to:

("Group" --> "Group Display Name")
"01 Shire" --> "The Shire"
"02 Rivendell" --> "Rivendell"
"03 Mordor" --> "Mordor"

Then it will show:

The Shire
Rivendell
Mordor


Side note: You can also have localized versions, such as "Group Display Name fr", "Group Display Name ja", etc.
