1. Introduction:
2. Understanding the structure of a quest:
a. Quest infos:
3. Setting characters to your quest:

1. Introduction:
Each quest has 5 files: qed, qsl, qml and qbt
qed: quest script
and _1.qed for utimate finish
qsl: involved characters' starting position
qml: involved characters' settings
qbt: quotes/dialogues
and there is the qxd file which defines the quests and organize them
I am gonna work here with parallel quests. So open tmq_dat.qxd
qxd file has a part in which quest infos are defined and another one that defines character param
