    Quick Bug Report Feature

    I was reading an earlier thread about a notepad clone being put inside of ZC, and while I don't think THAT's practical, I have a suggestion that may be.

    It's a bug report feature for quests. Say you encounter a bug in a ZC Quest. You press a button and a small text box pops up. Type the nature of the bug, and it will be stored temporarily. When you exit the quest or exit out of zc, a file called <questname>_bugs.txt will be generated. It will include all of the bugs in this format.

    <Number of Bug>
    Map: <Map you were on when you encountered the bug>
    Screen: <Screen you were on when you encountered the bug>
    Description: <Description given of bug.>

    Having the map and screen for the bug can help the quest developer quickly track it down.

    Anyone have anything to add to this suggestion?

    I like it, but a screenshot named <quest name>_bug####.<image format> should be made as well, simply for convenience and further description of the bug. You could "circle" the problem area if necessary.
