Hi

I cannot get my Quest Log to show the Log Entries from any of my Quest Stages.

As far as I can tell, the Quest Stages change correctly, because they trigger the correct objective (quest and objective shows fine in the game). Do I have to activate the log entry using the script?

What am I doing wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone out there gotten their quest log to show for a simple quest? I would greatly appreciate information on how you set it up.

Well, I have now uploaded the mod anyway (it is a short quest leading to a set of light dwarven obsidian armour.

The quest log isn't working right, but the rest should be good:

It has all the files there, so maybe someone is able to figure out what I've done wrong by looking at the .esp?

I have been having the exact same issue, and my Alias Reference markers are also failing to show. I cannot find any solution thus far.

I never did find the error, but I did solve it yesterday.

What I did was delete the script from every object, as well as delete the quest itself. Saved/reloaded CK just to make sure it was gone (I copied my scripts and quest log texts to notepad).
Then, following the CK wiki tutorial again, I recreated the Quest with a new name (copying the text from notepad for speed things up). Now it works!

I had to do that just to get some of the stages to show before, but re-making the entire quest again would be very time consuming...I'm still holding out for a real solution. I guess it seems to be a simple bug, rather than some weird options or tick boxes then.

Well, I tested some quest and happens the same to me, I've even made a simple quest with one line of dialog, the basic script ( GetOwningQuest().SetStage(10) ) and I created Stage 10 with a description in it, but the quest doesn't appear in the journal. Does it appen to someone else?

To help people rule out problems; my quest did not involve any dialogue. Mainly pieces of paper that would trigger the next stage when read... Super basic, did it while following the tutorial on the Creation Kit wiki.

Same thing happened to me, I literally just recreated the quest word for word and it works now. I'll let you know if I discover any possible causes for the bug.

Debugging info...

Was working on a scene in a quest tonight and all of the sudden it went corrupt, no quest markers or log entries. I backtracked step by step every single thing I did from before it broke and tested every step in game and nothing fixed it. I was hoping I could isolate what I did to corrupt the quest but no luck, seems once it's gone it's gone. This is a terrible bug for quest building, you've got to start over every time it happens.

I also tried duplicating and renaming the quest to see if I could kickstart it but no luck.

Even if you strip the corrupt quest down to nothing and delete every single thing except a single stage it still won't fix it.
