# bug 1 - Inital menu does not show.

Using “give me quest” starts the dialogue and clicking subsequent menus gives expected dialogue.

# bug 2  - accepting the quest does not give on screen message or systems message I recieved a quest.

# bug 3  - Menus for steps 2 and on wards do not show.

The NPC should turn to face the player when trigering a quest, instead the camera detached from the player and faces the NPC and if you are beind the NPC you can see yourself

player movement not lock while quest window open so you can run around while talking to an npc

In an npc dilogue the “!!” characters do not cause a gap in the quest dialogue so the following text is on the next line.

“Having a shop in the main plaza of the city has its drawbacks, too much work!! Coming back to your question.”

This shows on one line and not 2.

Example quest text below.

P: About crafting. Give me a quest.
Menu: Good day sir. I hear you are the person to ask about crafting.
Harnquist: Oh, greetings! I don’t remember your face, so you must be new in town! Welcome. Yes, you heard right. I’m the first and main point of contact for everyone interested in approaching the beautiful art of crafting, a fine art with plenty of possibilities! Now me, I’m a blacksmith and I can say … Quite an expert. [Harnquist smiles.] Some of my weapons have been used by very famous people, like the Vigesimi and the most honorable guards. Anyway if you want to know more, just tell me!
Assign Quest.

Problems are:
The whole text shows in one line in the chat window rather than being split up correctly.
[Harnquist smiles.] shows in the ‘main’ chat as “Harquist: smiles.” rather than in the npc tab as an emote

When you give the wrong item to an NPC the quest window does not refresh, when you click on the bubble it might but not always and it is also always empty with no text in when failing to give anything.

In legacy the quest window was pushed to the back and the tool bar was visible allowing you to quickly open other windows including chat, which can help a lot with quests allowing you to read back what was said more easily and to chat and give things back.

There use to be a large red text notice when the wrong item is given to NPCs, this is not happening now. You do get it in chat but as chat is not vissible during quests you can not see it.

There also use to be green notices, not sure if they are working either.

The log in button is lost from the log in window with 1600 by 1000 scale and other with similar ratios.

This was taken from a report by Yorlak

As the title suggests a player reported that at least a tefusang and marfusang (PID: 9278004 and PID: 100699) teleported next/near to them at the iron mine on bdroad1 at about 10-11am and then proceeded to attack them.

If I attack a kikiri I get the following system message

Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.

This is wrong.

Taria has a custom NPC behaviour which causes her to go invisible at night. This will need adjusting so it doesn’t happen.

As some new buffs give variable modifiers based on the skill needed to use the weapon with the buff the description for those weapons now has a list of

Sword: 0
Knives & Daggers: 0
Axe: 0
Mace & Hammer: 0
Melee: 0
Polearm & Spear: 0
Ranged: 0

The server code which displays the text looks like it needs work to filter out all the options which should be 0. It also doesn’t display the skill which should be buffed as anything other than 0.

Bug copied from petitions posted by Xola

“lanx mind items should have will bonus not charisma (the same attbibute that help with the way similar to other items that help with way skills)”

It was recently reported to me, and I have confirmed it on production and testing, that skill buffs (but not stat buffs) which are applied in the give_quest_buff progression script do not persist between logins. But annoying the active magic does.

To reproduce;

1 Start “give of knowledge” quest.

2 Go to Govel (or any other skill giving NPC) and pay for the ‘Crystal Way Knowledge’ buff.

3 You will see the buff is applied to the character and the active magic is active.

4 Relog.

5 The active magic is still active, but when you look in the skill window the crystal magic buff is no longer being applied.

So either the skill buffs are not being saved in the same way stat buffs are, and/or the skill buffs are not being read from the DB on log in and applied to the characters the same way stat buffs are.

Placed here from a player petition so changes can be made to the master crafting data sheets before being edited in the WC to avoid any chance of the bug reappearing

Description of Ynnwn Composite Bow An Ynnwn style composite bow with a string made out of plants Actually the string is made out of Tendon so Animal parts (clacker legs, consummer legs)

reported by Kaasha; In the book Enchanting Weapons , chapter Superior Gem Socket it says: Shape2 2 Molten Steels…

Reported in a petition by Eymma

I used the /study command to check up on the recipe for zinc solution. The only text that shows up is: Corrode mix of Zinc and vitriol…. … glass stirrer. It does not mention how many zinc and vitriol I need to combine. (Combine Powdered Zinc, 2 Oil of Vitriols, into 1 Mix of Zinc and vitriols.) Just thought I should mention. I believe there are more of those little things missing in the /study

It would appear there is either a typo with a category name, or an engine limitation where the max length for the length of a category name being 20 characters.

To reproduce do-

1 - Walk up to an NPC so you are within striking range of your weapon.
2 - select the NPC and initiate an attack.
3 - In the time between your initiating the attack and actually attacking for the first time, run away.
4 - When the first attack happens the distance you have moved is not considered when you attempt your first attack.

Erodare Lenizus (MrGadget) - talad — Edit

Latest updated 0.6.3 now has the filter box, however the text is not cleared when closing and re-opening the study window, nor when changing books, so initially the next book brings up a blank study window if there’s no match.

The radio buttons for custom character creation are not showing so you cannot pick the number of siblings your character has which prevents you from completing the creation process.

If you have an action location set for example,

<Examine><Entrance Type=’Prime’ X=’49.72’ Y=’23.50’ Z=’16.27’ Rot=’1.595340’ Sector=’amdeneir’ /><Description>A door leading upstairs.</Description></Examine>

This moves you from one part of the amdeneir map to another, when it does this the correct Rot=’1.595340’ value is set.

If you have an action location like this

<Examine><Entrance Type=’Prime’ X=’-145.56’ Y=’21.52’ Z=’-75.88’ Rot=’2.21’ Sector=’hydlaa_plaza’ /><Description>The back door of the tavern.</Description></Examine>

This moves you from the tavern_de_kadel map to the hydlaa_plaza map, when you use the action location the rotation value you had on the tavern_de_kadel map is the same as you end up with when you arrive in the hydlaa_plaza map despite a specific Rot value being set.

It appears that when you change maps the rotation value in the action location is not being set on the player in the destination map.

If the active magic window is closed, when a time effect is applied to the character which causes it to open the tool bar icon does not become ‘active’ (ie coloured) (present in r9639).

As the summary says, with r9639 with a clean build including all user files when you first cast a spell the progress bar is flashing red immediately with no progressive colour changes. You have to set values manually in order to go through the warn→danger→flashing steps

If you open the client with all windows closed, and then open the stats and skills window, you will see that all progress bars are empty. This includes HP/MANA/STAMINA/EXP. In order to get the bar populated with data you need to open either the shortcut window, or the info window.

With the changes to Merchant and Storage so that you can sort by number, price, or item name. If you double click the column heading you end up causing the item description for the currently selected item to show.

It was mentioned once in a meet the devs meeting that researching spells can he hard work. Especially with the more complex multi-way spells.

Talad mentioned and liked the idea of changing the error message when failing to research a spell so that if you have the right combination of glyphs, but just don’t succeed in finding a spell the server would tell up. Opposed to now when you just “fail”.

So I’m adding this here so it isn’t forgotten.

With the latest revision (r9606, SVN server, linux32 client), when you speak to an npc who has nothing to say to you you get you get the “This NPC has no quest for you but might have other things to say” continually reappearing on the screen. This should only happen once.

It would seem that a loop is happening where the client asks for a quest, doesn’t receive any, so asks again over and over. Each time only being sent the error message.

If you log out while being in instance “-1” (which has the value 4294967295) when you log back in you are in instance 2147483647

I think it is related to this message I found in an SVN comment.

“Fellow coders, please, make sure never to use atoi to read uint32 values. This includes GetInt from db row (use GetUInt32) and GetAttributeAsInt. atoi(”4294967295”) = 2147483647 on 32 bit systems! "

If you trigger any menu from an NPC, and immediately click ‘BYE’ you break the menus for that npc. The next time you open the quest window the first page of options does not show. If there are more that 3 options available when you move onto the second page, and back to the first and the options appear. If there is not a second page you have to relog to make the options appear.

It would appear the new timing requires the completion of the NPC dialogue to correctly display the available options. If you break the timing by closing the window the window no longer behaves correctly. To completely fix it you have to relog.

As of r9601 in linux32bit when you resize the shortcut window and scroll the up/left arrow appears in a fixed location which can be invisible by being outsize the size of the shortcut window if you make it very narrow, this seems to be the location the arrow took before resizing was done. Or, the up arrow for the vertical window can be in the position of the left arrow for the horizontal window, near to the lock icon.

This seems to be caused when you scroll the shortcut window, and then resize it. The up/left arrow is maintaining the position it had when you scrolled the first time, and is not being updated in the new window size when you scroll again.

You can force an update to the position by adjusting the on/auto settings. But as soon as you scroll up/down and then resize the window, when you scroll again the arrow is again in the wrong place (with both arrows set to auto).

When you click on the thumb for the HP/MANA/AE progress bars it causes the background to the window to display.

To reproduce;

1 - Close information window.
2 - Open options.
3 - Click the thumb for either HP or MANA settings and the background to the info window will appear.

The same thing happens for the AE window when you click those thumbs in the scroll bar settings.

When I open the Hp and mana config window on client load having previously set values. The % setting does not show until I change the value, and the mana bar ‘warn’ % vlaue shows as the text “warn”

In the option window under Controls → Entities you can select what happens when you double click certain ‘entities’. For NPCs you can trigger the quest window when you set the option to ‘Talk’.

This no longer seems to work.

In the new HP/MANA config options until you set a number by clicking on an arrow the scroll thumb is not visible. Also if you set a value by clicking at some point on the bar the scroll thumb does not become visible. Ideally it should be no matter what the value is to make setting an initial value easier.

1 -
If you click a quest option which gives items to an NPC and you do not have the items you get the error message that you do not have enough but the quest menu options do not refresh. Forcing you to close and reopen the window to see the options again.

2 -
If you give an item and that triggers a menu, when the dialogue ends the menu does not refresh.

At the moment the renaming method seems to only allow you to rename a sack with a single word.

If you choose, sack of beans, the sack would be renamed “sack” you have to add " " eg, “sack of beans” to get a multiple word rename.

The code in the window which handles renaming should explicitly add " " to all renaming attempts so that players don’t need to. To would make it much more user friendly, as it is not at all obvious you need to add " " to get it to work.

When you equip a magic sword, the icon is the default one. When you equip a second one, the first item gets the same icon as you get in the inventory, the second item gets the default icon, and so on as you equip 3 4 5 6+. when the most recently equipped item will get the default, and all earlier ones the correct icon.

In the latest revision tool tips for timed effects show only the first time you move the mouse over the icon to show them. Every subsequent time the tool tip does not show. for magic items they always display as they should.
