What is quest format?

Quest format allows to hide quests that are based on newer versions of Valkyrie in an older version. Every Valkyrie release is based on a quest format and if a format newer than the current version is found the quest is not shown in the current Valkyrie version. This helps to prevent issues when quests contain new properties or logic only available in a newer version.

As a general rule quests and scenarios can be openned and resaved to update format automatically. This page exists for developers who want to understand the changes and/or update manually (not recommended).

How to update quest format?

To update quest format number you need to change variable public const int CURRENT_VERSION = (int) Versions.RELEASE_3_0_0; in FormatVersion.cs (add a new value to enum Versions first with current valkyrie version as value name (e.g. RELEASE_3_0_0 = 19,).
