Quests add new gameplay mechanics to a private Metin2 server — from seasonal events to full progression systems. Installing a quest involves two stages: uploading the source file to the server and compiling it, so the game server recognizes it.
Uploading the quest file via WinSCP
- Open WinSCP and connect to the server using the SFTP protocol, with the IP address, username, and password you received at activation.
- Navigate to your serverfiles' quest folder — usually something like /usr/home/game/share/locale/romania/quest (the exact path varies by serverfiles).
- Drag the .quest or .lua file from your computer directly into that folder.
- If needed, check the file's permissions from the context menu ("Properties") to make sure the server can read it.
Compiling the quest over SSH (Putty)
- Open Putty, enter the server's IP address in the "Host Name" field, and click "Open".
- Log in with your SSH username and password.
- Navigate to the quest folder: cd /usr/home/game/share/locale/romania/quest
- Compile the file with ./qc filename.quest (or .lua, depending on the format).
- If the console shows no syntax errors, the quest compiled successfully.
- Apply the change in-game as admin with the /reload q command, or fully restart the game server.
The exact quest folder path varies depending on the serverfiles used (Zeryon2, Eridanus, MISTIC3, etc.) — if you're unsure of the path, contact CHLink support.
