Reporting a bug where the Quest NPCs will sometimes use the wrong monster names in their quest titles.
For example, I created a new monster I called a "necromancer". The Quest NPCs all think that it is called a "Kobold" (which I have as a seperate monster as per the default) for the quest title, only.
It's odd because the generated flavor text for the quest will use the correct monster name, "Necromancer", but the generated quest titles will use "Kobold".
This only happens for some monsters, but not others.
Here's another examples for a monster I've called "Penguino"

Oh, isn't this an old bug you already squished @muted ridge ? I remember it was because the quest tiltes recognized the first 12 monsters or something like that?! So any subsequent monster would use the 12TH monster name in quest titles

In this case Kobold is monster #2, Necromancer #8, Penguino #12 (if counting left-right across each row).
hmm, though according to their cards, Necromancer is #12, Penguino is #11.
So they aren't numbered in order of creation, anyways.
hmm, it also thinks I have 13 monsters (on the cards it says #x/13); but I only have 12. If I create a new monster in the 13th slot, it is correctly numbered #13/13. Deleting that new 13th monster does not change the total monster count on other cards.

Oof, I vaguely recall. I'll need to check out how I fixed that. This area is definitely the Old Magic.
It probably has to do with the new global character type numbering that we're using in the dungeons build. Dungeon monsters will still be counted toward the 12.

It is worth noting that the quest names are editable, and if you edit the name at all, it'll stop updating to reflect the actual monster type if the quest or the monsters are then modified.

Okay, found my way through the code and geez, yeah, that bug isn't fixed. It actually won't work beyond the first ten monster types. I need to fix it.
Think I have a fix now, but I need to test it before committing it. Yay, creating lots and lots of monster types in a test world. 😉
...sigh, and the automatic quest naming is all in English as well, isn't it? Yet another area I missed while adding localisation!
Okay. Have chosen to bring it all completely up to date, as I think I've figured out a way to do that without breaking automatically-named quests in old saves. Definitely will have a fix for that after breakfast. 😄
