You may lose data. On top of whatever backup system you + have, you should back up your quests folder and the playerdata folder, + \*especially\* on a live server. If you use a database, ensure that is + backed up too! +- **Name your quests in a way which makes sense.** Prefix each quest + file with the name of the category for organisation. Name your tasks + in a way which makes sense. +- **Organise your quests into folders.** The /quests/ directory is read + recursively, which means you can sort your quests into folders. (It is + advised you organise them by category, though you should be warned + that file names must still be unique, no matter what directory it is + under.) +- **Follow the advice of the error checker.** You will be informed of + any issues in your config when you reload Quests, along with the exact + location of the problem. Use this information! +- **Be patient.** Creating quests may be a bit boring, there might be a + lot of copying and pasting, but once you get into the rhythm it can + take you less than a few hours to get the plugin fully configured to + how you want it to be. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
