At the moment the guild key does NOT show up as a key when a character is holding it.
It shows up as a pouch bag.
Please kindly switch the image for a actual gold key just like shown in inventory.

I created a guild with 1 member and it did not disband after 5 minutes as it should have as it had less than the minimum number of required members.

Two problems with guards:
They do not complain about characters with wielded weapons.
They do not let creatures enter the city!

This is an entirely new class of quests where the person or persons who originally get the quest are asked to form a group to solve some more complicated task or martial challenge. Once the quest is completed each member can then “turn it in” or go to the originating NPC for a reward. Unlike shared quests, it will be impossible to finish grouped quests without the aid of other players. This is intended to promote teamwork and to give a more deep and realistic experience to players.

It has been brought to my attention that friendly AoE spells can be used to detect invisible GMs who are within the range of the spell. A check on spells cast from accounts with 0 security could be added that only allows friendly spells to be cast on targets which are ‘visible’ hereby preventing GMs from being targeted when invisible.

Syntax: /giveitem [PlayerName] [Qty|All] <ItemName> [Any]

• Playername is optional, otherwise default to selected target, fail if none selected
• Quantity is optional, default to 1, All gives all in inventory/equipped
• ItemName required, quotes needed for multi-word item names as in “Platinum Ore”
• Any is optional, allows items in containers to be given. Omitting this protects containered items from being given accidentally, allowing players to put things in sacks or other containers that they want to keep safe, same as the Drop command.

Similar to GM giveitem, but with the following restrictions:

• player and target must be in touch range
• player and target may be sitting or standing
• player and target must not be otherwise busy (fighting/crafting/repairing/etc.)
• no restriction for target being overburdened (available slot/stack/capacity limits still apply, see Caveats below)
• similar to PVP, players should have persistent selectable option for receiving given item(s): Always Accept / Prompt to Accept (default) / Never Accept

Along with the command, make Give an option to context menu, which opens a slot window same or similar to that which one gets when giving to an NPC.

Justification:

• Smoother and faster RP (P1 gives P2 a beer)
• Merchant assistant holding extra inventory gives things to merchant for a sale

Caveats:

• Makes using mules a little easier, as in an unattended mule with Always Accept can become a dump bucket for loot or Ore, however current trade rules allow this already, the only difference is that the mule must be attended to complete the trade, while not for receiving a Give. Eventual random spawns of monsters will mitigate this for loot, and miners still have to move all the collected ore to wherever it is to be processed or sold. IMHO the benefits to RP outweigh this issue, since miners have already worked around unattended trading to some degree, either by mAlting or dropping stacks while guarding in proximity.

Extending the idea, add a die-roll chance for target and near proximity observers to be made aware of the exchange. Giver’s Int. and Agility should apply, and Target’s Int. and Observer’s Int. should apply but I’ll leave it to devs to work out how to implement. Any exchange that is more than 1 single item should incrementally raise the chance of being observed. One might still have a good chance of slipping a couple daggers into someone’s pack, but a stack of 20 Ore would be nearly impossible not to notice. Sleeping target might also factor in.

A further extension might be an optional Sneak parameter whereby the Giver attempts to be especially discrete in the exchange, thus lowering the chance to be observed by the target or near proximity observers, but this should be mitigated by quantity as above.

Giving a Guild level the permission to edit gild points is not honoured. The flag is shown, but if someone of ther permitted group tries to edit the points of himself or another member he gets “you don’t have the permission…”

Additionally, editing permissions is not propageted to other online members. Ie. they do not see any changes in guild privileges.

From Post by apyj13 inhttp://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=41889.msg473672#msg473672 “would it be possible to add a quality “tooltip” on hover so you don’t have to right click on an item when it’s in your inventory to see what quality it is, or perhaps a small number in the corner (similar to what is done with the quantity)?”

Also is it possible to make the numbers for quantity/quality in item slots customisable from skin xmls.

no task description

the server send DR updates to all group members even if the actor causing it is not in range and therefore the target client doesn’t have an actor associated with it.
this results in a “Stat request failed because CelClient not ready for EID:xxxxx” for each movement of the group member that is out of range.

After executing a dismount, I end up underneath (and partially inside of) the mount rather than beside it.

Dropping an item in the forge or furnace while hammering something results in a message similar to “You can’t train your skill while working”, with the item sitting in the container but never heating up.

Instead, the item should refuse to drop in the forge/furnace (similar to the situation when capacity, weight, or slots are exhausted).
Alternatively, the item could drop normally and start heating up.

I have two reasons for requesting this:

1. It runs counter to immersion. Stuff sitting in a hot place heats up in real life, it should do so in Ylliakum as well.
2. It is a griefing opportunity. Start hammering something, fill up the forge with stuff, and watch crafters despair. Since the stuff does not heat up, you can even continue crafting - you can take stuff from a slot normally and immediately replace it, the 300 ms lag will make sure that you can fill the slot before the other crafters even see that you freed the slot.

Feel free to change to Feature Request, I cannot know whether the current behaviour conforms to developer expectations or not.

Different fishes will probably have a rather wide range of weights and sizes: e.g. Carp may become as heavy as several kg, few even more than 30 kg; Manta ray even more with a possible length of 5 m; Dace (mud carp), Ide and Orfe (quite the same) or Perch instead usually less than 1 kg; Coppernose (a tropical barbel) will probably be only few inches long.

But all fishes in PS have the same size and weight of 1.

I don’t expect a variable weight and size per catch, but at least different average weights and sizes.

1) Ctrl-drag an item or use a shortcut bound to Ctrl-something
2) Note that your run toggle state just changed. :P

Using Ctrl or Shift as a modifier should “lock out” the functions bound to these keys by themselves.

As per this document:

http://planeshift.ezpcusa.com/pswiki/index.php?title=Sound_System#Sounds_in_factories

the creature sounds are not working properly in game today.

The common.xml file is properly read, and the resources are properly loaded, but the only state ID which works consistently is state ID 2: charge.

Idle seems to kick in only after attacks, and anyway not consistently. The others are never launched. The problem is that those events are not properly sent to the client a sound events.

In particular we need the following events: IDLE, CHARGE (when first engages in combat), COMBAT IDLE, ATTACK, (being) HIT, DIE, WALK, RUN.

Make an option that allows a player to make the loot of a corpse public if they do not want it. May not apply to some corpses, and could be used to make other corpses auto-public.

Wanted to bring up this idea to see how it would be taken in.

Given the difficulty training the skill itself involves, why not consider making the consumable repair kits for both weapons and armor craftable as part of the Tool Crafting skill?

Could be done in such a way that 1 steel stock would make 5 repair kits, or 2 steel ingots would make one.

This way, players can keep themselves supplied without having to keep spending money at the VERY NUMEROUS kits they’ll have to buy to raise their skill levels.

I have noticed a few things that are Incorrect, not sure If anyone commented on them, Or If they are In Progress. I will jot them down all in one Report so not to make several reports…

1. The “Cone” On the Energy Arrow Is faced in one direction As in the visual effect right after the energy arrow hits the target (Im sure im not the only one who see’s this wrong?)
2. When Dropping Stacks Of Items Like Pants There is an extra “ES” at the end. Alot Of Items Have The Extra “ES” at the end, that should not be there.

I Had A couple Questions and Requests :)
1. Someway to Turn off the red dropping notifications like.>”You are to far away to attack” and ““**” Has nothing to be looted”. maybe a way to just have it in the system tab.(Asked in help tab, unknown, If someone knows how please tell me lol, thanks!)
2. An NPC Or something In Game That could tell you detailed Information about weapons/quest items and things of that nature, (I have seen the Book in the musium, but I haven’t really studied it yet, and maybe incomplete?)

  It would be really cool if you could go to an npc and hand them what you found, have them give you 2 lines about the sword and what it does. Or even a book from a quest where you can i.d it, have it unidentified untill you take it to an npc and pay them a really small fee to i.d it. (Not complaining at all but I have kept all of my named items I have looted since I have started playing. they are awsome! :D But I want to organize :) please? :D I want to sell them but I dont want to sell something for 10,000 and find out that it was really special. haha with my Inventory im sure I could write the book!

If you want to comment on this aswell, up to you. I will be blunt to the point:
I have seen leather working Implimented But Famiel Is the one and only charature I will have. But He is Forbidden to work with Furs/Hides other then looting for sale. he wants to start making his own armor, so I ask/Hope there is a way to bypass leather armor and make Medium/Heavy Arms/Boots/Gloves when it gets implimented
Thank You For Your Time :)

Commanding pets is similar to combat skills in that you get no experience for using them but in the case of of combat you get the experience for the kill. I could not get my pet to attack with my 30 empathy, I was able to get a message that my pet targeted successfully as well as a message that my pet needed a target to attack.

Practice seems to have a cool-down period where subsequent commands give no practice. I would think that the cool down period should just be for identical commands, when you need to target something before attacking both actions should give practice.

It would be good to have some information on the state of pet activities.

If you use:
/setskill me all 100

the server is trying to send all skills multiple times and we get a disconnection on the client

Seems that AdminManager::AwardToTarget() is sending back the WHOLE set of skills instead of the one modified. So the result is 68 skills sent 68 times.

Crafting HA
combine 4 q300 medium steel plates with 1 q50 chain arms give worse quality then
combine 2 q300 large steel plates + 2 q300 medium steel plates with 1 q50 chain torso
there is the same amount of q300 ingerdients but its in one stack for arms and 2 stacks for torso
edit Quality 175 vs 227

Advantages:

It is only partially helpful to estimate if an opponent is more or less stronger than my own char, as long as I don't estimate its defensive qualities too. I would like to see a pair of chances to get hurt by it, and chances to be able to hurt it. Especially since some oppoments are so well armored that even "Extraordinary" quality crafted weapons won't do any damage as long as the character has only average weapon skills. And it is quite vital to estimate the chance of breaking the armor before starting a fight. Even if the opponent is "about as strong as" the character, it is not just risky but suicidal if the opponent is the only one which has any chance to hurt.

When I try to select a grill in Brado’s tavern the pink rotating cross does not appear.
Right click works and brings up the action icons. However, putting meat in one of the slots and “use” the grill to grill the meat results in “You interrupted your work when you moved away” every time. Other items like preparation tables, pots, etc. work fine.

I’m running PS on:
Arch linux ( up to date system ) 86×64 intel core i5
mobility radeon HD5xxx series with up to date catalyst drivers.

I logged my console output but I can’t see anything relevant to the problem, could be me so here’s the link:
pastie

split "emotions" or "fighting messages" from "system base" so that one can have "fighting" in "System-Tab" but "emotes" in "Main-Tab".

Right now you can chose which "Messages" go to "Main Tab" and which not (System Tab).
But both "Emotes" and "Fighting Messages" are part of "System Base", thus you can either have both, or none of them in Main. And being spammed with "Fighting Messages" during RP is quite annoying. Indeed, you could filter them out - but that's not the same since you won't get those messages at all then.

after you'd exhausted to move while riding, and you've unmounted and dismissed your pet, you can't move until client restart.

How to reproduce:
1. mount your pet
2. ride on it while you exhausted to move
3. run shortcut:

/unmount
/pet ID, dismiss

4. you see your physical stamina is full and you can't sit or move anywhere.

PS: if you is not exhausted to move, this bug not occurs.

When trying to attack it says “You have no weapons equipped!”

For an example.

In the Catalog of shields book, ‘Bronze Spike’ becomes un-greyed and therefor visible as craftable when blacksmith hits 15. but you also need many levels in shield making before you can actually make the item. If I push Blacksmith to 200 and leave shield making at 0, according to the book I can make every item in there, despite that clearly being wrong.

The skill checks being made on the crafting books need to look at primary and secondary and as many skills are needed to make an item to correctly mark it as something you can make.

As the title suggests you continue to get the system message you have gained practice when using a skill despite your practice level not actually increasing.

friends list does not display all friends after using command line without add/remove(onoff), may remove other entries.

starting with no friends:

‘/buddy abcdef’ = ‘abcdef is already on your buddy list’ (refresh friends window, abcdef was added)

‘/buddy abcdefgh’ = ‘abcdefgh is not on your buddy list’ (refresh friends window, abcdef is no longer listed, abcdefgh is not listed)

‘/buddy abcdef add’ = sometimes added, sometimes not

This idea came up in IRC.

When someone breaks a law, players can report it to GMs or another NPC guard. Then GMs or the guard activate an option that turns on the autoaccept duels for an hour, with a different color label. During that hour, players that find the outlaw can kill it (or people with X faction in guards), so that would involve some players acting like guards in town (and some outlaws would have to leave the city for some time to avoid being killed).

When you equip an item with “BOTH HANDS” flag an icon appears in only the left or right hand inventory slot, whichever you dropped it in.

As the weapon takes up both ‘LEFT’ and ‘RIGHT’ hands it would be clearer if the same icon appeared in both hands to make it clear that both hands are taken up by one item.

It should also be possible to deequip it from the icon in either hand.

It would be cool if players could buy bookshelves like the ones in the library. Rather than the player trying to set all the book items on the bookshelf that can be bought in Winch right now and making it look as if the books are on the shelf in the proper way the same dwarf could sell the shelves that look like the ones in the library. It would hold books like a container.

If you take a heated blade out of your hand while hammering it the work will not be interrupted until the work duration if finished. If you return it to your hand before the work is finished the transformation completes successfully.
THis appears to only work if you replace the item with itself, substituting a different identical item or a completely different item causes an interruption.

I’m a new user and I just had a very frustrating experience, so I want to propose an improvement.

I requested a guild mate to craft me some chain armor, and when I got it done I picked the Arm piece i was wearing and tried to exchange by the new one. By the gods, the quality-50 armor merged with the quality-300 one and I got two quality-175 armors. Without any confirmation.

I think the merge-on-stack system is fine for many crafting situations, but merging armor stats is a unexpected one. I fail to see why one would want to merge a higher armor with a much lower one. This doesn’t even make sense: if you mix water and herbs it’s ok that you get an infusion, but you can’t mix a chain mail with another one to instantly get two different ones.

I requested a GM to revert the stats and he said that this is the same situation as when one sells or gives away an item by mistake. I think it is not the same thing. This is not a mistake; it is common to exchange items in the inventory to organize or save space, and having these “side-effects” in place can make a simple inventory management a surprisingly bad experience for new users like me. :(

TL;DR:

1. Please review if it really makes sense to merge armors or weapons. I don’t see the use for it, and it sounds illogical, but probably I’m missing something.

2. Please consider adding a confirmation to actions with clearly bad side effects during inventory management, to avoid the frustration, specially for new users.

3. Please consider adding a toggle/checkbox to the inventory to turn on/off automatic item merging (disabled by default to avoid sad surprises like mine).

Thanks for all the hard work, guys. :)

the inscription reads that “Talad may bless the souls” this implies that he also may not. “May Talad bless” or simply “Talad bless” would be a plea for his intercession. “Talad blesses” would be an affirmation to the reader that they are indeed blessed by Talad whether or not it is actually true.

When using /item to create a lockable container, also create a key automatically and place it in the container.

At the every least, just create the (master?) key and put it in the new container.

More complex would be to alter the dialog to allow input of how many keys (in addition to master?) to auto-create.

I would suggest a specific hunting skill to “loot” animals instead of the current lottery system giving hides, claws, eyes, and whatnot.

Currently, anybody who can kill something can get enough parts by slaughtering a big amount of creatures. The skill would clearly separate the warriors from the hunters. Anyone can probably cut a rat’s tail, but skinning the animal is a bit more complex. And so on, some beasts will be more difficult to skin than others. Even proper meat is not obvious to extract from a carcass.

As a side effetc, maybe a killer could carry back the entire beast to a person capable of skinning/cutting it, if he doesn’t have the skill himself (it looks like some people can carry 400 kgs out there).

This incidentally could create a real market between players, akin to the economy currently existing around ore and weapons. Obviously, some PCs are going to be cooks, leatherworkers or alchemists.

This of course doesn’t apply to looting rogues, unless one can think of using human parts in some dark alchemy, or just carrying ears or heads as trophies.

Not sure if this is possible, but seeing as how the names are treated more as actual names and less as usernames, I believe there should be some support for apostrophes or dashes in names.

For instance (some common fictional apostrophized names)
Teal’c
T’Pol
Kal-El
Jor-El

Perhaps if the apostrophized version of names are only for “display purposes”, so if you see someone named T’Lara, their name is stored as a “key” in the database as tlara, and people can access their name (for instance with /tell) using Tlara, but for display purposes, their name shows up as T’Lara.

Not important, just a thought…

When defining keys, it is currently not possible to use key combinations or extended keys of the keyboard. PSU should be able to handle them.

Chat for the alliance chat tab goes to the main tab.

Currently storage is sorted alphabetically which is fantastic.
if we had additional sorting by quality that would be even better, often i’m picking through my materials for the best or the worst of something when i’m crafting. if we had additional sorting by quality this would be so much easier.

Right now, the only jewelry metals available in the game are gold, silver, and platinum, which leaves Ynnwn out in the cold RPwise. Considering that IRL, copper alloys (brasses and bronzes both) were and are still used for jewelrymaking – it would be logical to add those at some point down the road, to provide at least *one* Ynnwn-compatible option…

You already mentioned that the former “Dweomer detection”, which only vaguely returns a possible enchantment of a weapon, is rather useless as there are also buffs which are not at all obvious regarding stats and skills.

Not to waste the spell in general, I wonder if it was possible to implement instead that a similar one could be used to detect the presence of natural resources. Depending on some experience level, possibly in combination with another glyph (e.g. Earth, Animal, Tree), it could enable the caster to only vaguely detect presence of areas in a more or less close range where mining, fishing, harvesting, etc. (generic type) might be possible (”You feel that harvesting could be possible here.”), up to a more detailed feeling that specific resources are probably in some vague but graduated distance (”You feel that fishing for carp could be possible just next to you.”).

Of course, any new spell could be created as well.

As the title suggests if you add a name like;

Venalan

And you then edit this to say

Venalan “dev”

When you load the client next time around the " will have broken the aliases_name.xml file so none of the added name notes will show. It is because you end up with the following in the xml file

<alias name=”Venalan” alias=”Venalan “Dev”” />

the extra [dev”“] is an unknown component of the <alias /> so breaks the whole formatting of the file.

It would be convenient if you were to do a /who Timmothy and I had autoreply on it would return

Timmothy [Away] Guild

Currently, I find the /away command rather useless, as you’d have to /tell the person who’s away, not knowing for sure if they’re even away. But with it in the /who, you can find out if someone is away, then send a /tell to find out the reason/how long.

Related to FS#2436

seeing that furnature is one of the heavest item types in the game, redecorating guild halls can become tedious and god forbid things get cluttered it is not possible to eaisly move them to storage. my request is that typing /storage will work inside a guild hall as if you were targeting a storage npc. just for convienance sake.
