When /ftbq_import quests` is run in a new world, the mod complains about having duplicate quests and orphaned quests. Upon relogging, the ftb quest book is missing many quests and also does not have the correct names/descriptions for any of the quests because a lang file is used for all the texts in better questing. The log file doesn't seem to have anything useful in it so I don't know what extra information to attach

Yeah, so, I figured that this is the case, but from playing Omnifactory I remember most of these quests existing in other chapters as well, for example the upgrade kits in the early / mid game chapter. I'm assuming they used the n-to-m "linking" that Better Questing has there (fun fact, this is also probably why some quests are showing up that aren't visible in the BQ book). I can attempt to make that look nicer, but it may not work exactly the same as it has pre-import (since that is practically impossible).

As for lang keys, I'll check that out later, but again that hopefully shouldn't be as difficult to implement ^^

1. A lot of the quests are deleted because of circular dependencies (according to logs)
2. It is indeed very easy to do, I even made a small program to do everything. Basically, you should replace %n with ",\n" (newline = new member in list), " with \", \ with \\.

@MaxNeedsSnacks please don't forget about existence of this project

Oh I didn't forget this exists, but honestly, with

• 1.12 being kind of a dead version for modding
• both the modding toolchains and the minecraft codebase being fundamentally different from newer versions
• BQ being a dead mod
• commands kinda sucking in 1.12
• FTBQ lacking a lot of functionality that would be required for a full conversion here
  I don't think it's worth maintaining this project anymore, sorry

Duplicate and orphaned quests are normal when working with Better Questing: Quests in FTB Quests are one-to-one and always tied to a chapter, while in BQ neither of those two conditions has to be fulfilled.

The fact that the book is missing some quests is a bit more problematic, can you send me a couple of examples of quests missing perhaps?

As for lang keys in names / descriptions, that's something I likely overlooked, but again, I'd appreciate the DefaultQuests.json attached as an example so I can hopefully implement this in the importer (for reference, FTB Quests can use lang keys like this {this.is.a.lang.key})
