I will create a proper wiki on GitHub eventually, but for now, here’s a speedrun of the absolute basics:

When creating a quest. create a CounterCreator condition that looks something like the following (expand image):

What’s most important is that the condition itself is impossible to complete; in this case, you are required to kill a pmc from 5555 meters away. This prevents accidental progress on quests. The bottom ‘value’ just under the ‘type’ is important, however, as that will determine how many times your custom condition needs to be met. For example, if you want the player to heal 300 health, set that value to 300.

Keep the id that’s highlighted in mind when we go to the next step. The id in that spot (and only that spot, of the three ids that exist per counter creator) is important.

Create a new .json file and place it in ../BepInEx/plugins/QuestsExtended/Quests. If this new json is anywhere else, it will not be registered. Within this .json, you want something akin to this for each quest (expand image):

The id outside the brackets and the id next to “QuestId” should be the same, and are the id of the quest itself. For each CounterCreator task you have in your quest, create the condition like you see in the image. Remember that highlighted id I mentioned earlier? Place it in the “ConditionId” spot. Check the “Conditions List” tab to see a full list of all custom conditions currently in the mod. The “Locations” can be multiple locations; if you want to have a quest that tracks on Interchange and Customs, but nowhere else, that will work.

Certain quest conditions have additional features. For example, most of the health-related quests can utilize “IncludeBodyParts” (See image below)

When you are creating a release of your mod, I highly recommend you pre-include the .json in its correct path in your download, as that will minimize work on the end user and should prevent complications if the end user downloads your mod first and this one second.

The following is a list of conditions currently in a mod. Some extra comments might be on conditions if they need more explaining. They are separated into “General”, “Combat”, and “Medical” for sorting purposes, but implementing any of them is the exact same: Simply copy the Exact Spelling And Capitalization into the “ConditionType”.

General:

EncumberedTimeInSeconds //If the weight indicator in the inventory is yellow or orange, this will increase.

OverEncumberedTimeInSeconds //If the weight indicator in the inventory is red, this will increase.

MoveDistance //None of the “MoveDistance” tasks are mutually exclusive. If the player is moving quietly while crouched, all three of the conditions will increase

MoveDistanceWhileCrouched

MoveDistanceWhileProne

MoveDistanceWhileSilent //‘Moving Silently’ means the player is moving slow enough to gain CovertMovement experience. Roughly speaking, if the sound icon in the bottom left is in the left third of the bar, this should increase.

TotalShotDistanceWithSnipers //Every time damage with a sniper rifle is dealt, the distance between the player and the target will be added to this condition. If I hit one bot at 30m and a second at 50m, this condition will be at 80/x. If I then hit someone at 65 m next raid, this task will be at 145/x.

DestroyBodyPart //This means the PLAYER gets a blacked limb, this is not a “destroy limbs on the enemy”. That will be added next update, actually.

RestoreBodyPart //Fun fact: A ‘UseItem’ task set to trigger on the use of either surgical kit will accomplish the same thing.
