Hi

Well…. /topic is quite self-explaining. Only cooked fish can be taken into the hand (what is useful for RP).

I wanted to get some light to a dark corner, but failed… screenshot says more than any description Graphic details are highest and bloom is on with:
RenderManager.Unshadowed.HDR.Enabled = false
RenderManager.ShadowPSSM.HDR.Enabled = true

Sorry, I have no thumbnail…

Hi

It looks like planeshift trunk doesn’t work together with the new client art.

Back trace:
http://paste.frubar.net/12639

Same issue with cs revision 34874-34876 (And I believe down to 34870, but Im not so sure), and planeshift revision 6152 to 6160.

The lower revision worked with previous client art. Graphic detail settings don’t change anything either.

Need more info? :) (x86_64 gentoo with proprietary nvidia)

PPS: On a second thought.. it’s more a guess that it’s really the art… just to not lead someone on a wront track

Hello

I spent some time in the tutorial and recognized that many newbies fail in operating the furnace correctly - they put the ore ontop of the furnace. They are too many to say it’s just accidentially wrong. After having seen two people doing it wrong within 5 minutes today and another one yesterday (I watched the furnace only once each few minutes and were only few hours ingame those two days) do I believe that quite some newbies might give up the game at that point.

I therefore recommend to clarify Neave’s explanations. A first idea would be to repeat the right-click-advice once more when Neave says “If you were going to actually use the furnace you would take the ore from your inventory and drop it in the open furnace window” Though there are certainly better ways to make it clear

Hello

This report refers (I believe ;) ) to PS#3431 and PS#3772
I had several people within some hours who did all Tutorial quests, but couldn’t leave the tutorial by talking to Xenak.
It looks for me like there is a high proportion of players who are hit by this and (apparently, I couldn’t verify) who are then unable to leave the tutorial.

It seems that the body of at least an avatar (couldn’t test with npcs) is disappearing underwater. (Might be related to http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=1978 ?)

The lighting in the forest has a few problematic places - here’s the most strange so far:

The screenshot is from a private server - I couldn’t see the same effect on ezpc. Other differences:
On the private server I started in npcroom, teleported to the plaza and moved there around a bit inclusive dungeon until arriving at the screenshot point.
On ezpc I started on bdr1 and returned towards hydlaa.

Hello

The following bug was confirmed on 3/3 linux systems while it couldn’t be reproduced on 2/2 windows systems.

If you use a different keyboard layout than us/gb one shortcuts will work for either of those.
For example:
The key ^ is located on a german keyboard left of the 1. The key @ is the same key as q (activated with a modifyer)
On us/gb keyboard the ^ is the same key as the 6 and the @ is the same key as the 2.

Now, if I (on a german keyboard) e.g. use the shortcut on key 6 it will get executed normally.But if I press the ^ on the german keyboard it will get executed aswell. Same with e.g. the shortcut on key 2, the shortcut gets aswell executed when pressing @.

I assume the same is possible on other keyboard layouts aswell.

Minor issue, but can be confusing…

Hello

By just asking about the gobbles in Oja for this quest the player never mentions Tyrus (who gives the quest).
Nevertheless seems Brado mysterically to know and says “…and you can give it to Tyrus Beaut.” and “I’ll let you hear it from Tyrus Beaut.” He probably shouldn’t know why the player was asking, the more since one arrives only after some other NPCs finally at Brado.

Hello

Normally the character turns by using the left/right arrow keys or a/d regardless of the camera mode.
But it is impossible to turn the character in the combination of 1st or 3rd person view and if you have mouselook enabled. With mouse look, turning is only possible by using the mouse while the above mentioned keys have no more function at all.

Tested on 32bit Linux but I think I had the same in Windows(XP), too….

Hello

Referring to http://hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=33997.0 I would like to suggest a ‘public’ channel for advisors.
The advantage of this is for example

• Someone who seeks help often writes only “I need help” but the advisor who reacts has then to claim the session regardless of if he can answer the real question or not. With a public channel the others can help or the advisor ask for help. (This is not possible at all at the moment)
• An advisor who has not claimed the session has a better/alternative solution of something another advisor suggested (now possible with /tells but is actually only rarely used)

I don’t really mind if it is a solution outside the game or ingame and how the ingame solution should look (another tab?).

As personal preference I’d say that, because an ingame solution will take a lot of time, an irc channel is set up because this can be done in minutes and also people unable to join the game can help this way.

When I try to get rid of slag by burning it in a furnace it turns after some time to slag again.
I would think that it either doesn’t turn into anything (just stays like it is) or turns into dust or nothing - just the turning into itself looks strange…
