Quest

Network Quests Module (GC2 Quests)

This module adds server-authoritative networking for Game Creator 2 Quests (Journal).

Compile symbol: GC2_QUESTS (auto-enabled when com.gamecreator.quests is present).

Authority Modes

• Coop and most production flows: interception mode is usually enough, no source patch required.

• Strict competitive-grade authority: apply the optional Quests patcher so direct Journal mutations are validated before local execution.

Patch menu:

• Game Creator > Networking Layer > Patches > Quests > Patch (Server Authority)

Components

• NetworkQuestsManager

  • 
• NetworkQuestsController (requires Journal)

  • 

Transport Wiring

Wire the manager delegates to your transport layer:

• OnSendQuestRequest

• OnSendQuestResponse

• OnBroadcastQuestChange

• OnBroadcastFullSnapshot

• OnSendSnapshotToClient

Then route inbound packets to:

• ReceiveQuestRequest(request, rawSenderClientId) on server

• ReceiveQuestResponse(response, targetNetworkId) on clients

• ReceiveQuestChangeBroadcast(broadcast) on clients

• ReceiveFullSnapshot(snapshot) on clients

Supported Authoritative Actions

• Quest: activate, deactivate, track, untrack, untrack-all

• Task: activate, deactivate, complete, abandon, fail, set value

Interception Fallback

NetworkQuestsController listens to local Journal events on owner clients and forwards them as network requests. This lets existing GC2 Quest instructions work without immediate graph rewrites.

For strictest competitive behavior, combine Request* APIs with the Quests patcher.

Initialization

1. Set manager server role:

   • NetworkQuestsManager.Instance.IsServer = isServerSession;

2. Initialize each controller role:

   • controller.Initialize(isServer, isLocalClient);

The controller auto-registers itself with NetworkQuestsManager when it has a valid NetworkCharacter.NetworkId.

Security

Server request processing uses:

• SecurityIntegration.ValidateModuleRequest(...)

• SecurityIntegration.ValidateTargetEntityOwnership(...)

with strict ownership + protocol correlation checks.
