Location is the number of the message to display in Pip-boy, from map.msg - the name of the location (e.g. "Modoc")

Description is the number of the message in quest.msg with the quest description.

GVAR_index is the GVAR_* number for the variable controlling the quest.

Display_threshold is the minimum value that the GVAR must be for this quest to be displayed in the pipboy.

Completed_threshold is the minimum value that the gvar must be for this quest to be shown as completed in the pipboy. (A line is put through the text, also referred to as "strikethrough")
