I have compiled The Quest database
Hello.
I have compiled a database of the main game and all expansions released at this time with all quests, maps, trainers etc.
You can also track your quests progress if you want. And there are profiles if you want to have different playthroughs.
It's over here: https://tqdb.fyi
I also posted on the official forums and the man himself seems to approve: http://linux.redshift.hu/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8511
To get all that i had to reverse-engineer game data files and figure out how it all works and where is what.
The only thing i wasn't able to figure out is the location information - like we know that "Kingdom Agent recruiter" lives in "Village of Matras" and i'm sure it's stored somewhere in the data files but i couldn't get it. Also a lot of map connections (like you can get to the Dungeon of Blood from the hole in the Forest of Blood) are done through scripts and parsing scripts is not something i wan't to do. So locations needs to be added manually.
I fully mapped the main game and Islands of Ice and Fire because i could open them in the editor and confirm but none of the other expansions work in the editor so i mapped what i could with scripting by parsing the quest descriptions but that's not nearly as good or reliable as manual check.
I did it just for me really because i'm a completionist and i like to track game progress.
I hope it's ok with Redshift and Zarista Games. There's no money for me in it, i thought maybe i should give back to the community since i've been playing these games for like 20 years now :)
The website is somewhat rough around the edges - doesn't look good on mobile, character location just shows the latest location instead of full path, i didn't implement the search/sorting yet, some interactions might use a bit more interactivity etc. I'll be cleaning that up as time goes on.
Also as i play i'll be adding locations and verify stuff but if you're playing it now and want to help - you can compile a list of what location connects to what, what NPCc you can find there etc. I'll be adding that.
So that's the announcement. I hope you find it useful and also it's hosted on a free vercel account and uses free neon postgres database and it doesn't cost me anything yet but if it goes viral for some reason and i'll get the $10000 bill - i'm not paying that :) I'll shut it down and try to figure out what to do next.

That is indeed impressive. Sadly, I have no time to work on filling in any information for our expansions right now and the contractual and copyright issues I have with my partners prevent me from making the expansion data available but you are free to include the map or quest lists from here.
