The Quest Journal Overhaul mod has been a real challenge, especially when it comes to retrieving quests descriptions/journal entries. After trying to delve into RE without great success, I've been able to find a somewhat hacky but working solution to that problem. I'll spare you the technical details, but with that last obstacle dealt with we now have a fully function quest journal!
This means that quests are correctly displayed with all relevant information including title, description and objectives. They can be set as active or inactive from within the menu and the change is reflected on the compass and map. It basically works just as well as the vanilla menu. With a bit of optimization and polishing, the mod could be released in this state as a purely visual overhaul for the quests menu... but I'd like to add a few quality of life improvements first!
For example:
- location of the quests, as shown on an earlier concept
- pop-up menu for the miscellaneous quests selection
- "!" indicator for new quests (thanks to Eugene, author of EdgeUI for this one)
- quest removal (could be problematic, so not sure)
- possible quest rewards
- search bar
- categorization by location, alphabetical order, etc
