Rejects Quest Mod — A DayZ Quest System

After being asked to pay $250 for a Quest mod, I decided to write my own... with a lil help from Claude.ai.

Adds a fully configurable, NPC-driven, chat based quest system to your DayZ server. Find Quest Givers in the world, accept missions, complete objectives, collect your reward. No databases, no complex setup — everything driven by a single JSON config file.

⚔ MAJOR UPDATE | APRIL 2026 ⚔

Nearly every system has been touched — quest content, mechanics, rewards, world events, NPC personality, and UI polish. If you played before, this is a substantially different experience.[/quote] [h2]📋 201 QUESTS — ALL REWRITTEN[/h2] Every quest rewritten in first-person voice. Each trader now speaks as themselves with descriptions that reflect their character and situation. [h2]📡 THE SIGNAL — STORY ARC[/h2] A hostile group is moving through the region. 16 interconnected quests span all four traders — Viktor detects the threat, The Collector triangulates, Emma prepares her clinic, Fisher cuts the supply route. Unlocks progressively via prerequisites. [h2]⚙ NEW MECHANICS[/h2] 🐺 Enemy Spawn on Accept — Kill quests spawn required enemies 200–250m away on accept. Raycast checked to avoid buildings. All animals supported. 📦 Item Spawn System — Quests spawn specific items at fixed world locations on accept. Cleaned up on cancel. 🔭 Recon Quests — Equip binoculars at a specific location and hold for 60 seconds. Live countdown shown. Timer-only completion — can't be turned in early. [list] [*] Coastal Intel — Rify Lighthouse shore observation [*] Eyes on the Airfield — NWAF ATC tower scan [/list] 🚁 Helicopter Crash Events — Recon completion triggers crash sound immediately, then a Mi-8 wreck with smoke spawns 20 seconds later. Medical loot at NWAF, civilian weapons at Rify coast. [h2]💬 NPC CHAT & UI[/h2] [list] [*] Traders greet you in chat within 3.5m — 30 second cooldown [*] Reward message shown in description panel on quest completion [*] Cooldown timer and prerequisites moved to bottom of description box [*] Map markers for BasicMap, BXD SystemParty, LBmaster, DayZ Expansion [/list] [h2]💰 REWARD REBALANCE[/h2] All 201 rewards reviewed. Medical quests pay medical supplies, fishing quests pay gear, kill quests pay weapons appropriate to the task. [h2]🐛 BUG FIXES[/h2] [list] [*] Fixed RPC gate blocking recon complete RPCs [*] Fixed binoculars drop flipping recon objective back to incomplete [*] Fixed boar spawn classname, deer kill variant counting [*] Removed all PvP references — fully PvE safe [/list] [hr][/hr] [h2]Not Compatible with Expansion AI[/h2] [h2]LICENSE[/h2] MIT — Free to use, modify, and repack with attribution.
