Job board

A Chanter's board is a type of placeable used to represent a bulletin board where jobs or quests are posted for the player. Quests on chanter's boards are generally minor side quests of no direct relevance to the plot.

Chanter's boards are created largely through the use of plots and 2DAs. The board itself should require only a script that calls the following function when it receives the PLACEABLE_ACTION_EXAMINE event:

ShowChantersGUI(int BoardID);

JobBoards

The BoardID number for any particular board is defined in the 2DA "JobBoards", found in JobBoards.xls. This 2DA also defines a few things about what a given board looks like.

Column	Type	Description
ID	int	A number that uniquely identifies the entry (unless creating an M2DA override). ID numbers are listed from smallest to highest within a given file but do not need to be consecutive.
LABEL	string	A string used by the toolset internally
Texture	resource	the background texture displayed by the job board GUI
HeaderStrId	int	a string ID for a text header at the top of the board
ModuleRef	string	The campaign that owns this board
ShowDonationButton	int	[Undocumented]
DonationScript	resource	script to be fired for each donation. Amount donated should be int param 0
DonationMsgStrId	int	String for the message box that is shown when the donation is accepted
HeaderTintIndex	int	1 - chantry 2 - mage 3 - blackstone 4 - rogue

Note: I'm not sure if the donation system is functional, none of the boards in the game are set up for it and the donation script listed for them is nonexistent.

JobBoardPlots

This second 2DA is responsible for placing entries on job boards.

Column	Type	Description
ID	int	A number that uniquely identifies the entry (unless creating an M2DA override). ID numbers are listed from smallest to highest within a given file but do not need to be consecutive.
LABEL	comment
PlotRef	resource	The plot resource that this particular entry belongs to
BoardId	int	This ID number corresponds to the board's row ID in the JobBoards 2DA.
VisibleFlag	int	A flag ID number from the plot referenced in PlotRef. When this plot flag is set, the flag's journal entry will be shown as an entry on the job board. The title given to the entry on the board will be the "Name" property of the PlotRef plot, so you should probably have a separate plot file for each entry on the board.
AcceptedFlag	int	A flag ID number from the plot referenced in PlotRef. When the job is accepted by the player, this flag is set.
OfferID	int	OfferID for PRC Offers (i.e. ID of the offer for the new PRC content, not the ID of the PRC package itself).
Comments	comment

To make the quest offer disappear from the board once it's been accepted by the player, you'll need to have a plot script catch the AcceptedFlag set event and unset the VisibleFlag plot entry.

JobBoardPlots is an M2DA so it's easy to add new side quests to existing Chanter's boards.
