FUNCTION

NAME
        set_mailtext - 


SYNTAX
	void set_mailtext(string str)

DESCRIPTION
        This sets a mail text, that is sent to the player when he solves the
        quest, instead of the standard text.




FUNCTION

NAME
        set_other_wiz - 


SYNTAX
	void set_other_wiz(string wiz)

DESCRIPTION
	This sets the name of the wizard who should get the response by the
        player on the mail sent when the player solves the quest. This can be
        useful for quests in areas with a maintainer.




FUNCTION

NAME
        set_hint - 


SYNTAX
	void set_hint(string h)

DESCRIPTION
	This sets the hint presented to the player when he lists a specific
        quest in his guild.




FUNCTION

NAME
        set_name - 


SYNTAX
	void set_name(string n)

DESCRIPTION
	This sets the name of the quest. It is highly recommended that it
        starts with your name, and it MUST be unique.




FUNCTION

NAME
        set_short - 


SYNTAX
	void set_short(string s)

DESCRIPTION
	This sets the short description of the quest, which is basically what
        is shown to the player when he lists all unsolved quests at his
        guild.




FUNCTION

NAME
        set_www_page - 


SYNTAX
	void set_www_page(string s)

DESCRIPTION
	It is possible to create a WWW page for your quest. If you do, talk
        with the quest coordinater, and the page can then be moved to the WWW
        tree of NannyMUD. This address should then point there.

	There are several reasons for not allowing WWW pages to reside in the
        wizards own dir, of which one is that we need to have full control
        over what appears on our WWW pages.




FUNCTION

NAME
        set_points - 


SYNTAX
	void set_points(int p)

DESCRIPTION
	Originally, this set the quest points of the quest. That is no longer
        true; all QPs are stored in a file under the admins control. It is
        possible, however, that future admin re-designs the quest system and
        this is then being used again.
