2. Add new entry and:
- quest id - open game/journal.w2qlog, click on a quest (e.g. Kayran: Ostmurk), look into the Log and you'll have "QUEST_LOG_EDITOR: Selected item '71A3A5E1-498D7277-520FAE95-DAD8E2FF' and put it into the quest id.
- Quest - it's just an info for you to qucikly associate the name of the quest and csv file.
- Max - the amount of items to be gathered.
- Index - index for the counter file, just add the next number, e.g. 35.
3. Open Localized Strings Editor, that can be found in editor's Tools menu, and click on the plus (Create New Entry).
- Key: track_qindex+1 - if index in csv was 35, add +1 so it looks like that: track_q36, use copy and paste for this
- Category: category of the string (_TrackProgress)
- Value: This is the text that will be displayed under the minimap, when the quest is active, e.g. "Pick flowers"
4. If everything is ready, open your quest and add a Script block QSetQuestProgress. In index, use the number from csv file, in this case 35. In value, the max value of the counter.
5. In Journal, in the phases where the counter should be displayed, you should copy quest id into quest tag, under the mappin.
