Description

Summary

Quest Chain Editor should be a new module that allows user to easily manipulate quest chains in form of graph, without touching SQL at all.

A lot of work has been done already on drawing graphs and producing SQL in the project https://github.com/BAndysc/WoWDatabaseEditor/tree/master/WDE.QuestChainEditor and https://github.com/BAndysc/WoWDatabaseEditor/tree/master/QuestChainTest

There are however still some things missing before it is usable and production ready, mainly:

  • ensuring the chains are properly loaded from DB
  • ensuring that chains are properly serialized to SQL
  • ensuring that loading quest X will load ALL connected quests
  • adding undo/redo ability

Nice to have:

  • copy/paste/cut option
  • multiselect

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing QuestChainEditor module to understand how it loads and saves quest chains. Focus on the missing pieces: database loading, SQL serialization, linked quest expansion, and undo/redo. Identify the current gaps in the code and where to implement changes.
