"As you approach the camp, a few guards steps forward, one of them is blocking your path. He looks you up and down with suspicion and says, \"Hold it right there, stranger. This camp is for survivors only. We don't need any troublemakers or bandits causing problems.\" You explain that you're not here to harm anyone and that you are just looking for help. The guard's expression softens slightly, but he still seems wary. \"Fine. But don't try anything funny. I'll let you in, but you'll need to talk to \"Victor\". He's in charge around here and if he vouches for you, you can stay. If not, we'll show you the door. Got it?\" The guard steps aside and lets you pass, but he keeps a close eye on you as you make your way to Victor's location. You can't help but feel a bit uneasy as you navigate the unfamiliar camp.",
"Talk to \"Viktor\", i have nothing else to say to you..",
"As you enter the small building you spot a guy standing near a barrel with a fire warming himself up. Is this Viktor?"

}There are certain different quest configurations that change the behavior or handling of the quest with different results.
An Auto-start quest will be added to the player on the first server connection.
We need to have the following parameter values to work as intended:
"QuestGiverIDs": [], //! Make sure the quest has no "QuestGiverIDs" in the array!
"IsAchivement": 0, //! Make sure the quest is not flagged as an achievement quest!
"IsGroupQuest": 0, //! Make sure the quest is not flagged as a group quest!
"PreQuestIDs": [] //! Make sure the quest has no "PreQuestIDs" in the array!An Achievement quest will get added to the player on the first server connection but the difference here is that the player will never be notified about this quest except when he completes the quest (all quest objectives completed).
We need to have the following parameter values to work as intended:
"QuestGiverIDs": [], //! Make sure the quest has no quest giver IDs!
