Introduction/Backstory of Update

The first thing I should say is Questing Mayhem 0.15 is going to be updated in parts. This update is called pre15.1 because 0.15 is not finished yet. This is the first update in a series of pre15 updates. The next main update will be pre15.2. Let me explain my reasoning for this. 0.15 is kind of the update to fix all updates. I'm not going to be adding any quests in 0.15. Instead, I will be (hopefully) fixing every bug currently in the pack. This will require me to go through both questbooks one quest at a time to see if there is anything I want to change about the quest. I realize bug fixes are very much wanted and important to keep the modpack stable, so instead of fixing all of the bug updates and releasing all of them at once, I will fix a large handful of bugs and make several changes in the pack and then make an update. I apologize if this is confusing. Essentially, I want bug fixes to come faster and more frequently, so Questing Mayhem 0.15 is coming in parts.

In the beginning of Questing Mayhem, the questbook would give out HQM reward bags for rewards instead of the lootbags. However, in Questing Mayhem 0.3.3 I had to change every reward bag reward to lootbags because the reward bags suddenly stopped working. Recently, I figured out how to add my own loot tables, the things you get from reward bags, to reward bags. This means the reward bags work again after almost two years of being broken. Other than bug fixes, I spent the majority of my effort with this update adding many many many many rewards to the lootbags. I used this nifty FTB thread here for inspiration: HQM Reward Bag Discussion. 

That being said, I have yet to replace all the lootbags with reward bags in the questbooks. This will take a large amount of time to go through essentially every quest and change the reward, but it will be done by the time pre15.2 is released, so you'll have it then. As mentioned before, I was already planning on going through every quest to test each and every quest. While going through this process, I hope to also clarify/revise their descriptions and add more unique rewards. Sure, the reward bags will still be in a lot of the quests, but there will be many more unique rewards per quest to hopefully fit with the task. This should decrease the repetitiveness of each quest, especially the rewards. 

In addition, I have made changes to a handful of quests in The Basics questline, fixed many bugs, and changed many recipes. You can look at the actual changelog to see what specific changes I made. I think a lot of you will be happy with one particular quest change ;)

That's all I have for now. Again, this is only a small fragment of what 0.15 is going to be. I don't know when the next 0.15 update will be. I have been incredibly busy with school and that has hindered the progress on Questing Mayhem a lot. Summer vacation is only 7 weeks away, though, so expect more consistent updates then. Maybe I'll be able to get pre15.2 out before then...

Server Files

Thanks

Questing Mayhem, at the time of me uploading this file, is about to breach the 90,000 downloads mark with a grand total of 89,203 downloads. Thank you all so much for downloading the pack. I am so happy and grateful that I have been able to entertain (hopefully) almost 100,000 people. That is something not everybody gets and I want to say a sincere thank you to you all from the bottom of my heart for keeping this project alive and thriving. It amazes me that there are still people joining the community discord almost daily. That's insane. Okay, enough rambling. Changelog time:
