How to edit quest settings?

[arashmickey]

I was wondering if it were possible to edit the quest settings? I'm talking about stuff like how much money you win or lose with each match, how many opponents you defeat before facing the next higher tier, etc.

Will it require any programming skills, and if so, where should I start learning them?

Thanks!

PS: Here's a list with some of the settings I would like to play around with:

There are only a few things that you could edit without changing the source code.

The decks that the AI plays against you are located in the forge/res/quest/decks/ folder. These decks can be copied over to the forge/res/decks/ folder and you can make mods via the deck editor.

There is some info about the fantasy decks located in the "quest.txt" file. And you may have some limited success editing the questData file.

I can not think of anything else at this time that would not require changing the code and re-building the project.

Thanks Chris! I will take a look at the questData file. If I find anything useful I'll be sure to post it here.

Well, I finally had some time to take a quick look at questData. It's easy to find and edit the amount of credits you have with a hex editor, but that's not much fun. Still I figure some people have never done this kind of thing, so just use an online decimal -> hexidecimal editor, dl a free hex editor and do a search in questData.

A handful of these settings will be available to tweak when the next beta is released.

Wow, that is just awesome news friarsol.

It's like being able to edit map size, resource density, etc. in a strategy game.

A million thanks already.
Btw how would I be able to donate to the forge project? I know there's a "how to donate" sticky, but if I read it right, the donation goes to slightlymagic.net? That's fine too, I guess. What do you suggest?

While it's not like Goblin Hero doesn't need more tangible donations, Forge itself needs to remain free. So donate your time - card research, bug management, AI deck/theme development.... Ever wanted to learn Java? Get your feet wet with programming.
