Making a non-custom quest?

I was always curious how they added the third quest as an official ZC quest. Where you couldn't load it up as a custom quest, you had to play the first two quests to get access to it, or have to name yourself 'alpha' to immediately access it. How could one make a quest like that? Where you had to complete one or more of the others to access it or input a name to access it? How would one go about doing all that? I was just curious.

In the header part the "quest number" is 1 for the first and 3 for the third. Custom quests get 0. As for the using the correct name I'm not sure.

If you replace 3rd.qst with a quest that has quest number 3 it should work. Currently I think only quest numbers 0-3 do anything. And the game only looks for quest files 1st.qst 2nd.qst and 3rd.qst

Really there is no point to it.

You can't do it, DN has to code it in. You couldn't make a quest that if you put in "DFW" it would automatically go to another version of the quest. You could rename the 1st-3rd quests but the codes ZELDA and ALPHA would still be the same..
