This is following up on the "meet the devs" discussion regarding the graphics problems some are experiencing at high resolution with the latest client update. A black bar appears at the top of the window, and the user has to aim the mouse above the target by an amount equivalent to the size of the black bar. The black bar at the top appears to be the same size as the taskbar. I made my taskbar larger and the black bar at the top grew by the same amount. Resizing my task bar smaller did not make the black bar shrink again.

Using a resolution less than the screen maximum seems to avoid the problem. It's been noted at 1600x1200, 1920x1080, and others.

This was not a problem in 0.5.9.3.

System info: Nvidia 6800GT, NVIDIA Binary drivers 295, Mageia 2 Linux 64 bit.
PS Client 0.5.9.4 and 0.5.9.5.

Edit
Venalan - TEMPORARY FIX! - LOWER SCREEN RESOLUTION!

At ojaroad2 187.67, 55.43, 234.68. There appears to be an outcropping from the hill that might be too steep to walk across, but I was able to walk through it and get under the terrain.

There are several places along the route to the top where this occurs. It also happens farther down the hill where the cutthroat is at 164.40, 18.95, 174.66. Only his head sticks out from the terrain.

Cannot go through tunnel in Laanx dungeon from -65.1, -105.44, 80.12. Was able to enter from other end.

When I started the Twice Coveted Traditions quest, Relliom said she was “disappointed with my actions.” I assume this means she thinks I sold the figurine to Ervin Fromaad. I talked to him about it but didn’t sell. I gave it to Heirinn in Ojaveda.

When I go back to Relliom after completing the Coveted Traditions quest, one of the options is to give Relliom the bird note from the Best Judgment quest. I haven’t started this quest yet.

Dhalia doesn’t understand the request to start the Needs a Skin quest.

In the Emporium Raid quest, Rinna says to speak with Rabartus so the Onyx Dagger group can be punished. However, Rabartus doesn’t have any quest dialog.

Serana Tuvi is identified as Ylian, but appears Ynnwn.

On the Learning Shield Working quest, Trasok asks for 2 rock picks. I went in with 3 (2 for Trasok, 1 to keep) and got an error: “You have too few rock pick. Come back when you have the correct amount.” In most other scenarios when a player has too many items, there’s a prompt to manually give the items. I tried this with Trasok, but got a message that “Trasok Starhammer doesn’t need that.” I put one pick in storage and then was able to give 2 to Trasok.

Levrus appears to be wearing a cloak of invisiblity. All that’s visible are his head, hands, and boots. Those are also the only areas that can be selected to interact with him.

I installed the the recent update, which didn’t work (client kept crashing). I reinstalled 0.5.4 (Linux 64 bit) over the update without removing it, so maybe that contributed to the problem.

If someone can tell me how to post a screenshot, I’ll add one.

Trasok seems to have gotten turned around on Ezpcusa. He’s facing away from his customers.

I am no longer able to enter the arena. Whenever I try to leave the tunnel, I get the following error: “Received unknown sector “outer” - moving you to a valid position.” I then get moved back to the tunnel exit.

Running client 0.5.6.1 on Mandriva Linux 2010.2 on EasyPCUSA

As stated in subject. His forehead is on his chin.

Krestal says “Anyway, I would ask Miss Tarela here to carry them…”

However, now that Krestal has moved off the plaza, this doesn’t seem appropriate.

There are 2 typos in the “Right on the mine” quest after you convince Narwin to give you the beer.

1. “You receive a Narwing Barrel” - Narwin’s name is spelled wrong

2. Last line of dialog after asking “Who is Cilay Mecur?” is “I don’t see him since a long time.” Should be “I haven’t seen him in a long time.” for proper English

After getting the beer from Narwin and asking about Cilay Mecur, Narwin gives you another barrel of beer and the question about Cilay Mecur is still available, allowing you to keep getting more “Narwing Barrels”

After giving Narwin the provisions and beer, he says “Please accept this as a reward for your job.” but doesn’t give anything.

After giving the iron, provisions, beer, when asking if he needs anything else, he says “Some people want to stole ancient artifacts.” should be steal

Lyrus Lockspur is female, but Hamel says “He is expecting you.”

After telling Lyrus “Hamel sent me here.” and getting the package, it’s possible to repeat the process and get multiple packages, which can then be given multiple times to Gardr for his reward. The package can also be given multiple times to Hamel for his reward.

I originally created PS#5351 and PS#5354, but there’s so many I’m going to lump them all in here together. Text between _underscores_ needs to be fixed. Did anyone proof-read this before it was posted?

First, is the title even correct? Should it be “Right _to_ the mine”?

When Amidison asks if you want to help, the response is “Yes, why not, there could be something _worth to learn_.” It should end “_worth learning_.”

When asking Hamel about minerals, he says “Otherwise you should _ask to merchants_.” It should be “…_ask merchants_.”

Asking Rolara, “There _have_ to be something I can do for you.” Should be “There _has_ to be…”

Rolara says “I will make them _eatable_.” This might be right, but “edible” is more commonly used.

When asking Hamel why Narwin refuses to help, “Hamel drums his finger on _the_ beard” Should be “Hamel drums his finger on _his_ beard.

He then says “If you can’t _let him work_, nevermind.” Should be “If you can’t _get his help_, nevermind.”

When asking the “prettier” person for help, the text is “Did you _threat_ him?” It should be “Did you _threaten_ him?”

She also replies “You know what people say about _bearder_ women.” It should be “bearded.”

Narwin says “People like Cilay Mecur would never accept a _behavoiuor_ like this.” It should be “behavior” (or “behaviour” if you prefer British).

“You receive a _Narwing_ Barrel” - Narwin’s name is spelled wrong. (Previously reported in PS#5351)

Last line of dialog after asking “Who is Cilay Mecur?” is “I don’t see him _since_ a long time.” Should be “I haven’t seen him _in_ a long time.” (Previously reported in PS#5351)

Asking Kaimann about iron, he says “I suggest _you Trasok_ in Ojaveda.” It should be “I suggest _you see Trasok_…”

Giving the clacker meat to Rolara: “Here is the clacker meat you _asked._” It should be “…_you asked for._” or “…_you requested._”

After giving the meat, “…then he takes the meat from you.” It should be “she” not “he”

“Rolara Hammersong finishes _to pack_ the meat and -handles_ you the bundle.” should be “Rolara Hammersong finishes _packing_ the meat and _hands_ you the bundle.”

After asking what Hamel means by discretion, he says “I need you to get something _from_ me.” it should be “_for_ me.”

Next line is “But if other people _will know_ about this…” should be “_find out_ about this…”

When asking if he needs anything else, he says “Some people want to _stole_ ancient artifacts.” Should be “_steal_”. (Previously reported in PS#5354)

Lyrus Lockspur is female, but Hamel says “He is expecting you.” (Previously reported in PS#5354)

Gardr says “Hamel is waging war _to_ Gug.” It should be “Hamel is waging war _on_ Gug.”

Gugrontid is shortened to Gug several times: 3 by Gardr, once by Narwin. Probably should use full name since it seems odd.

Gardr says “Hamel _said around_ that he is gathering iron and provisions to send _here miners._” Should be “Hamel _spread word_ that he is gathering iron and provisions to send _miners here._”

“He has no right _on_ these mines.” Should be “He has no right _to_ these mines.”

“…you know, _big_ amount of provisions is _usually omen_ of a big army.” should be “you know, _a large_ amount of provisions is _usually an omen_ of a big army.”

“Seems he tried to stop Hamel, but Hamel has the community of dwarves _behind._” Should end “_behind him._”

Amidison says “Alas, you confirm teh rumors _a_ heard lately.” Should be “rumors _I_ heard lately.” Amidison says “I will inform the _Octarc._” Should be “_Octarch._”

If you talk to Gardr, the quest seems to get stuck. I went through the "What can I do to stop this" line, but can't progress. Neither Gardr nor Hamel will take the package, and I should still have the option of giving it to either one.

I tried it a slightly different way got stuck at "There's surely something we can do." I can give the package to Gardr and get paid (multiple times), but the quest doesn't end. When I go back to Hamel, I get the "Narwin refused to help, may I know why?" and then "This NPC has no quest information." When I tell Amidison it's war, she says she'll talk to the Octarch and gives the reward, but the quest doesn't end. I can keep telling Amidison and keep getting rewarded.

While going through the dungeon, I went over the side to the lower path. I continued on to the tunnel that ends at laanxdungeon -65.92, -105.01, 78.90 and got stuck. Unable to move in any direction and unstick didn’t help. If this tunnel doesn’t work, there’s no way out except to die.

I realize that it’s not possible to enter this tunnel from this end (PS#4483), but I used to be able to get out (at least as a lemur, though not as a kran. And in either case, I shouldn’t get stuck. Looks like PS#1165 has come back unless the intent really is to punish people who go over the edge by making them die.

When doing the subject quest, after giving the crystals to Kisatol, I get two options to finish the quest with Ukabnu: 1: Here you go. 2: These are for you. Selecting 1 produces the “You failed…” ending, saying she wanted Kisatol to have the crystals. This response should not be presented if the player gives the crystals to Kisatol first.

When answering Sharven’s riddle, the number he wants is 3 higher than what seems to be indicated by source of the numbers.

I am unable to start the Road to Master Cook Chapter 2 quest. When I talk to Mirra, I can say “Hi Mirra, any new recipes?” but the response is “Mirra Houphen doesn’t pay attention to you.” I’ve completed Chapter 1. Is there some other prerequisite to start this quest?

On the Dangerous Winds quest, Aerayau asks "Are you prepared to face this trial?" I answered "Prepared and ready," and Aerayau sent me on to Amidison. However, when I talk to her, she says she has no quest info for me. When I look at the quest log, it says I "told Aerayau that I do not agree to take on the mission." I verified in my chat logs that I did in fact accept it. I've tried going back to restart the quest, but the NPCs don't have anything to say.

I’ve been having some display issues in PlaneShift, so I decided to run the repair function. It appears to be searching for Win64 files on my Linux64 system:

I’m running the Linux v0.5.9.1-x64. My client is at 0.5.9.3 and my launcher is 3.02.

In Taria's Courier quest, Tarela says "Lucky fellow, getting something nice like this up these." Last word should be "there."

At the beginning of this quest, Lyrus asks for 3 rubies, 2 diamonds, and 1 sapphire. However, when you return, she only mentions the rubies and diamonds. However, she does take the sapphire as well.

Cutting 1 Steel Coil into 10 Open Steel Rings increases the weight by 10x. A single wire weighs 0.5, 10 rings weigh 10×0.5=5.0. The 10 rings are also 10x the size of one coil.

Also, combining 1 dozen closed steel rings (weight 0.5) with 4 dozen open steel rings (weight 4×0.5=2) produces 1 4-in-1 pattern with weight 0.5.

In the subject quest, Liera says “First, as found in your Basic Potions Tome, hammer the crystals into a powder with a wooden mallet.” However, creating powdered crystals is done with the mortar and pestle. Ores are powdered with a mallet.

When I put on my bracers, they do not appear on my Lemur character. I’ve tried a couple different bracers on both windows and linux clients. I am not wearing a robe or any armor. I do not have any problems with Dermorian or Nolthrir characters.

On several occasions, I have accidentally taken items from a container that were being worked on by another player. Each time it seemed to be shortly after the item went through a transformation and I was using the Take All icon. The most recent occasion was a few days ago when I picked up several platinum steel stocks from Trasok’s forge. I have also taken items from Aleena’s preparation table and the quench tanks behind Harnquist’s smithy.

The NPC text says “Grok Idon hands you 6 octa” (300 tria) but the actual reward is 1000 tria.

I got trapped in Ojaveda leaving Menita's tent, near the small stone arch over the lower walkway and the wooden cart on the upper level. There's a lower awning over the walkway and if you fall onto it, there's no way out. The higher awning on one and and the stone arch on the other don't leave enough space to fall to the ground, and it's too deep to jump out. The position is Akk-Central -166.51 -0.44 -30.69.

Since it’s pretty hard to get high quality enchanted gems (at least, at level 100 enchanting rubies), I’d like to propose allowing players to try to enchant a gem more than once. The current system partially allows this already. If you try to enchant a Q80 enchanted gem and fail, you get a Q80 pile of dust and some practice points. However, if you try to enchant a Q80 enchanted gem and succeed, the gem is reset to its previous quality (Q80) and you get no practice points.

Why not let players try to improve the quality of their gems? There would always be the risk that they’d end up with a high quality pile of dust, and maybe the risk could be made higher when trying to enchant an enchanted gem.

The names of some looted items are too long for the storage and item description windows.

The storage window is now resizable, but the text line for the item name isn’t long enough. This can be fixed by editing data/gui/storage.xml at line 108 to increase the column width. Setting this to 275 was enough to see the full name of my Ruined Turquoise-encrusted Dermorian Shortbow of Blinding Strike.

Even with this change, if I go to a different category and then come back, the end of the name is cut off again until I resize the window.

     <column width="60" >
         <widget name="Price" factory="pawsTextBox"></widget>
     </column>
     <column width="__275__" >
         <widget name="Name" factory="pawsTextBox"> <!-- This is for formated output -->

Similarly, in the Item Description window, adding 100 to the widths made the window wide enough to show the full name. Edit data/gui/itemdesc.xml and increase the widths where indicated below

    <widget name="ItemDescWindow" factory="pawsItemDescriptionWindow" resizeable="yes" visible="no" 
       savepositions="yes" movable="yes" style="New Standard GUI">
        <frame x="100" y="100" width="__420__" height="200" border="yes"/>

        <title resource="Scaling Title Bar" text="Examine" align="left" close_button="yes"/>

        <widget name="ItemImage" factory="pawsWidget" visible="yes" >
        <frame x="20" y="50" width="48" height="48" border="no"/>
            <bgimage resource="Standard Slot" />
        </widget>

        <widget name="ItemName" factory="pawsTextBox" >
            <frame x="10" y="10" width="__400__" height="22"/>
        </widget>

        <widget name="ItemDescription" factory="pawsMultiLineTextBox" >
            <frame x="85" y="40" width="__325__" height="150" border="no"/>
        </widget>

I thought I saw this posted somewhere else, but I can’t find it now.

After creating and uploading a new character, the client hangs at the point where the progress bar usually changes from “loading world” to “loading GUI.” If I quit the client and relaunch, everything works and I can use the new character.

This is on 64-bit Linux.

When the player’s response to an NPC is too long to fit in the window, instead of wrapping, the text is cut off. There is a horizontal scroll bar, but it doesn’t make the text visible. The only way I’ve found to get the text to appear is to resize the window so it’s wide enough to show the text (the missing text still doesn’t appear), close the window, reopen it, and resize it again. Then the text will appear.

Player says “Have to be just the right about, though, or you’d just blow it out.” Should be amount.

System Message: “You used the wind glyph to stock Harnquist’s Forge.” Should be stoke.

All the Powdered Ore recipes start with “Grind xxx into Powdered xxx using Alchemist’s table with a wooden mallet.” However, this step doesn’t seem to work, as one is forced to go through the “Hammer ore into big chunk, small chunk, powder” process.

Trasok says “Next I need two small battle axes.” But when I try to give them to him, I get an error that I have too few small battle axe. I made a third but it still wasn’t enough.

At the end of the quest, Barrin gives a Poison glyph and says “You will find it is able to vastly broaden a person’s sight in many ways.” This doesn’t really make sense. It seems to be left over from when he gave a divination glyph.

Allellia says: “Busy plenty of food and drink…” should be Buys

Thorian’s line “Well since you know i’m a potion maker, I guess there’s no point in denying it.” seems out of place or redundant. I think it would fit better after he says “So you heard then.”

“Kilas sent you to see four poeple close to Octarch…” should be people and should have “close to the Octarch”

After giving Loren the 500 tria, he is referred to as “she” twice.

“got a ticked for Raithen” should be ticket

Amidison: “…plans which she looked over and though everything was fine…” should be thought

After giving all the seals, Kilas “asked if you wanted to know about others looking for work.” I think it would make more sense to say they’re “looking for help”
