Hello everyone,
I've been lurking around this forum for the past week or so, and have learned some of the rudimentary modding via FE, such as altering character appearance, inserting weapon/armor fmps, altering .tng script in notepad, etc.
The next big thing I'd like to do is be able to remove particular quests from the "current quest" log once they have been completed. The quests I'm thinking of are the temples, chicken kicking, the archery contest, and the fishing contest. Preferrably, I'd like them to be moved to "past quests," but this is not the priority.
Related to this is another glitch so to speak that would be nice to fix. The Hero Doll quest continues to initiate even after it has been completed once. I think it is because you can have more than one Thunder doll, and the dumb kid is triggered if you had an extra one in your inventory. Since you can only collect the other dolls via the bar games once, you are stuck with this quest if it initiates again. Is there a way to fix this, either by altering the quest, or making only one Thunder doll available in the game (i.e. remove it from trader inventory, and just plug one into a chest, the former being that which I don't know how to do).
Sorry for the long post, and thank you for any help!

Erm, well... I don't really think there's any way to clear those quests via modding. But you could try attacking the temple-goers and competition hosts. Even if you don't manage to kill them, they should run away and not come back (if I remember correctly). I don't know whether or not this will actually clear the quests, but I'd wager that's as close as you'll be able to get.

Cool. Never heard of that happening. Well, there's two dolls that can be found or purchased, those being Thunder and 'Doll of You' I think. It wouldn't be too hard to remove them from shopkeepers, but it will take a little more effort to find out where each of the other instances are.
Alternatively, kill the teacher. Wait, no that wouldn't do anything.

Haven't tried that out yet...thanks for the idea.
I have messed around with the .qst file and see that bronze quests at least can be deleted in their entirety (the quest initiator is given a normal personality, though the green dot and green aura around the guy remains). So, alternatively, is there a way to remove the green dot & aura to complete the entire deletion?
(I'm quite OCD about quest completion lists, which is why I'm trying to come up with a way to show completion, or not have them at all.)

Unfortunately I have killed those guys and let them run away. They respawn. =/
Read the site rules, as well as individual thread rules, stickies and announcements, and use search, or you will have smartassy or exasperated ownage rained down upon you by the site's crack team of mods and admins. Also, you can find all you need to get started on modding here.

Alright, so I've been working a bit more on this.
I have a test game right before the book collection quest. I went into the .qst file and deleted the book collection quest under both the Addquest and the Addtestquest. This removed the quest, but the teacher still remains green. I then went into the bowerstone slums .tng file, and deleted everything under the book collection section (section IV I believe). This removed the teacher's green dot and green aura, so that while the school teacher and kids are still in the right place (must be hardcoded), any indication of the book collecting quest was gone.
So for you other OCD people out there, this process should work to remove any quests (at least bronze quests) you want to kill for one reason or another, green dots and all.
I am going to try something similar with the hero dolls in a second, but I also noticed in the .qst file that the Addquest line is set to "TRUE". I'll try to set it to false like the others, and see if this keeps it from initiating more than once.
To be continued...
[Edit] For some reason, I can't seem to get the quest to reinitiate even on the TRUE setting now (go figure - it probably has something to do with me killing the book quest during the testing). But the hero doll quest obviously can also be deleted like the other and will just never initiate.
As for cleaning up the "current quest" tab without deleting quests and/or avoiding or killing certain people in game, I suppose I'll just wait to see if anyone can figure it out, if it is in fact possible...
