When sitting, I think it should be possible to greet someone without standing up. It is a bit awkward to be sitting, and then stand and wave at someone and sit back down. I’m not sure if it is hard to implement the “wave” action while sitting, but that is what I think the effect should be. Just sit and wave. If you don’t think that “/greet” is appropriate while sitting, then perhaps just implement a visual “/wave” that can work when standing or sitting, although the only difference between the two are the system message.

Goal of this feature request: To provide an alternative to the numerously unneeded clicking and dragging through the addition of additional options.

Possibilities:

1. Allow all targeting equipment to be targeted and add short cut commands as discussed in http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=30727.0;topicseen and http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=28284.0 .

1B. Add a /place command that would place a specified number of a specified item into a targeted container.

1C. Add a /remove command that would remove a specified number of a specified item from a targeted container.

1D. Add a /combine command that has the same functionality as the combine button that is on the right click menu.

2. Have the stock casting containers automatically convert large stacks of molten ore to the largest possible unit. (IE: A stack of 63 Molten Iron would yield a stack of 6 Iron Stocks and 3 Iron Ingots.)

2B. Add a button and command to Stock Casting that will toggle that will allow the user to cast only ingots.

2C. Allow the user to combine large amounts of objects at a time so long as the proper amounts of objects are present. (IE: 81 Iron ore and 9 Coal ore would yield 90 Molten Steel. Also, you could combine 10 sword handles with 10 sword blades to quickly put together 10 swords.)

3. Add a key to be pressed and held that would allow the user to pick up an entire stack.

I believe that there has been discussion of several other alterative on the forums.

In order for the custom channels to be useful, they need a convenient interface. The need for typing /x before stuff isn’t terribly annoying, but also not terribly convenient. However, the biggest issue is that with multiple such channels, all talk gets mangled into one. The designation for the originating channel doesn’t help much in that case.

Therefore it would be nice to be able to create and assign custom tabs to channels, which would then function just like any of the built-in tabs. It would be even nicer if that arrangement could be stored, which would go very well with the auto-joining of custom channels proposed elsewhere.

Loosely related to  FS#2297  and  FS#2352  – when a guild member is online, I’d like to see the name displayed in the Buddy List automatically, possibly with a slightly different color (e.g. sky-blue, or like the customizable guild chat color). This could be toggled via an option like: “[X] Add guild mates to buddy list”.

2022: Reworked into show guild mate icon/flag in Buddy List

This command has been on the wishlist (and also on the ToDo list for releases) since a very long time. I post it here in the hope it will be more visible to interested people to implement.
The idea of the command is to control an NPC completely, not just talk as them through /impersonate. However, since controlling the actual body of an NPC is extremely complicated, it would be much more convenient (also from GM side) to simply make it seem so to the player.

Thus a possible way to implement the /possess command:
The syntax would be

/possess [NPC_name|target]|reset

Issueing the command would have the following effects:

1. The GM is moved to the location of the NPC.
2. The NPC is renamed to “$originalNPCsurname_P” (family name is unaffected).
3. The GM is renamed to $originalNPCname and the original GM name is stored in an extra db field.
4. The label color of the GM is set to NPC (/setlabelcolor).
5. The NPC is /slid u 1000.
6. All scripts (most importantly movement) of the possessed NPC are temporarily frozen.
7. GM temporarily gets all traits of the NPC (original traits of GM are stored on db).
8. GM is /set invisible off.

Issueing /possess reset would have the reversed effects:

1. Possessed NPC is moved to the location of the GM.
2. The name of the GM is restored.
3. The NPC is renamed back to §originalNPCsurname.
4. Labelcolor of GM is reset.
5. Scripts of the NPC enabled again.
(GM is not moved).

It’s important that the status of NPC (possessed), name and traits of the possessing GM are stored on DB so that a possible server crash has as little impact as possible.

If one is possessing an NPC already and then tries to possess another NPC, it should automatically issue /possess reset before executing /possess otherNPC.
When possessing, it should give a warning that the path of the NPC might be disturbed if /possess reset is issued too far away from the original position.

As a final cut, resuming scripts of the NPC should be delayed for 2 more minutes, giving the GM time to switch back into possession without paths getting in the way. That way it is possible to possess two or more NPCs back and forth.

At the moment, there is no way to get a players attention if (s)he is not watching PS. I think there should be an extra sound (settable via options) that is played whenever somebody receives a tell and/or whenever somebody’s name is mentioned. Maybe these should even be two different settings in options.

It is possible to mine while sitting on a mount. I propose to remove this ability because it seems unrealistic to me.

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.

As a heavy role-player, one of the most common annoyances encountered is that there is often no appropriate way to communicate to various groups of people.

Example one:

A group of five sitting around a table for an important meeting, talking in hushed voices. Currently the only option is to create a group for this, which is unrealistic, as people very close by should be able to listen in.

Example two:

Someone is standing in front of a crowd of people in the street, announcing something to them. Currently, the distance of /say is so tiny, that the only way to communicate to this group and have the people at the back hear you is to use /shout and have half the countryside hearing you.

Example three:

Sitting in the Tavern talking over a drink, not worried about your voice carrying. Currently, the distance of /say is so minimal, that half the Tavern will not end up hearing you. Using /shout would be considered very rude. No way to deal with this.

Solution:

/quiet - Speaking in a hushed voice to those nearby. Range limited to about 8 to 10 feet.

/say - Speaking in a clear, loud voice. Limited to a range of around 50 feet, which is quite a bit further than it carries to now.

/shout - Long range yelling. The current range of shouting would be fine.

the gm /item window has many items listed in it, it would be much easier if you could just type the name of the item needed and it would show you the 3d mesh and the icon as if you had found it in the catagory selection section. this is very helpful for trying to see what something looks like without having to spawn it. as more and more items start to be added to laanx less and less people will be able to use the /item window to find items and will use /item <name> instead but that is a waste if they just want to view an item and have no use for it.

I would like to have a Knock button added to guild house door context menu that would allow people to signal anyone inside that they have a visitor. THe knock command will send a “someone is knocking at the door” message to everyone inside. This could be used regardless of whether the door is locked.

It would certainly enhance role play regarding the guild houses.

I think melee skill has too low damage compared to weapon skills.
It takes to level up the same efforts, costs and time as any other combat skill, and for that you get very low damage.

I measured MELEE on the Training Dummies, got the following:

Normal stance:
min: 46
max: 77
avr: 62.7

Bloody stance:
min: 53
max: 91
avr: 74.8

I used a Q50 ShortSWORD and got these results (and who does use a Q50 weapon nowadays at all?)

Normal stance:
min: 91
max: 153
avr: 126.4

Bloody stance:
min: 107
max: 180
avr: 145.3

And a Q50 Normal BOW:

Normal stance:
min: 99
max: 167
avr: 137.6

Bloody stance:
min: 116
max: 199
avr: 164.8

If I was using a Q300 Shortsword or Bow, these results would be higher by times 1.7x.
If I was using a Platinum Steel Longswords, the sword results would be higher by times 2.1x.

Conclusion:
Melee skill makes about only 50% damage compared to Q50 Sword and 45% damage to Q50 bow.
And please notice, that I compared the skill to Q50 items only.
In case of melee you have no chance to craft a better weapon, you have no chance to loot weapon with good modifier.

Suggestion:
I suggest to raise the damage of melee skill by at least 260%, because it takes to level melee up the same efforts, costs and time as any other combat skills. Otherwise melee is just a good RP skill :)
(Raising the damage by times 2.6x would be similar as you would use your hands as a Q300 Shortsword, taking the delay into account too (equalized damage per second values). Melee has 1.5 delay, Shortsword has 2.0 delay.)

Raising the damage by times 2.6x would cause:

Normal stance:
min: 119
max: 200
avr: 163.1

Bloody stance:
min: 137
max: 236
avr: 195.5

Sometimes I would which i could sort the storage list in a different way. Would it be possible to add bi-directional sort options in the storage/buy window?

On Skill window, add a button to drop the selected skill, with a Yes / No confirmation.

This would execute the equivalent of “/setskill me <skill name> 0” (or something close to that) removing all training, practice, rank, etc.

Would do nothing on stats / factions tabs.

This would allow players to remove skills they’re no longer interested in, don’t fit the character they’re developing, deprecated skills, not-yet-implemented skills, or skills acquired from the character generator that the player considers extraneous or unnecessary.

No compensation should be given for the lost ranks, practice, etc. and that should be stated in the confirmation dialog, along with a clear advisory that the action is permanent and irreversible.

Unless we’ve sweet talked a GM into doing it for us, we often have extra skills with a rank of 1 or 2 that we may have inadvertently trained or practiced and they clutter up the list view of skills, as they’re not suppressed by the Filter feature.

feature request to have more options to morph to. GMs are not able to change face when they morph or any other option in character creation.

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.

I have often experienced that people come close to my character, trying to interact with me without trying to use tell. So they do not get that I am actually away, they may just assume that I am or (in the worst case) think I am rude because I am ignoring them. So what is needed is a way to show another character the own away and-/or sleep-status. Though I am not quite sure which would be the best way to do so.

Here are some possibilities:
- add “away” or “sleeping” to the players label when one moves the mouse over another character
- This status should be shown always, no matter if the user has activated the display of name or name/guild in options. Or at least there should be an own setting for it, in case somebody absolutely do not want to know about this status.
- To make it a bit more icly, don’t separate between “sleeping” (activated via “/sleep”) and “away”. In both cases use “sleeping” as a players status.
- A possible extension could be to set auto-sleeping like on irc. Say, the user hasn’t done anything for half an hour, he is automatically set to “sleep”-status.

I think this would help to avoid confusion like what I described above.

Related to FS#2667

Until today I did not know that “Camp Banished” is a PvP area at all. Until I got killed.

I was asked by a GM “if I did not expect that”?! - No, I did not! I see everything as a roleplaying incentive, unless I get a system message warning me about changed world attributes.

This issue is “critical”, because inside this PvP area are quest relevant NPCs. Now, what would happen if you are in a quest dialog with an NPC, and get killed? - You would lose that quest. And if it was a one-time quest, you’ll lose it forever, for your char.

This almost happened to Cadwen today, whom I helped to deliver a “Keg of beer for Filch”. Fortunately the keg was not stolen while we returned from the Death Realm.

I would like to suggest an additional widget in the trade window that gives the total (NPC-trade) value of the goods offered, similar to the one for total tria offered. With the quality based pricing system, this could help to lower confusion and make trade and economy flourish. The obvious but neglectable downside is that players could abuse this to identify an enchanted items value without finding an NPC merchant. A solution to that problem could be found when thinking about a feature to identify such items (based on intelligence, dweomer detection, factions with merchants or whatever).

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.

just a idea for a simple rp command. entering /playdead will play the death animation and leave your character imobile similar to the sit command but you will be lying down instead. this can be usefull in roleplay where you are injured but not actually dead or if you want to role play your character going to sleep. entering /stand will cancel both /sit and /playdead. in later versions of the game perhaps this can be also be used to fool the less intelligant monsters like ulbernauts rats and some of the bugs into giving up the chase and loosing interest. i think it would be benificial to have a way to roleplay being wounded or dead without having to actually go to the death realm. say for example your character was killed in a roleplay setting you could use playdead to have a open casket funeral complete with a body that will not dissapear after a minute or two.

i am not sure how easy this would be to acomplish but i suspect you could duplicate the existing sit command and just change the animation called

I would find it extremely useful if I could select from 1, 5 and 10 amount when shift clicking a stack of raw materials. This would allow me to improve the efficiency of smelting by picking enough material to cast into stocks of the various types. I could then dump a stack of molten ore into the caster and shift click it to spread out the ores into castable portions. obviously the 5 and 10 amounts are for casting stocks from precious and non precious materials.

It would be useful for this to only apply to molten ores in the furnace as there is no need for ingot/stock to be smelted in these particular numbers.
It might be also useful in a forge or other crafting container to have the ability to set to an arbitrary amount when processing ingots or stock for weapon/shield/armor parts.

Perhaps instead of overloading the shift click in this way using the alt click instead would work but this might cause a problem for Apple type computers.

Changed task description to clarify request.

So the subject: book titles for crafting techniques are missing in 0.5.9.10 using “elves” skin (and other skins too):

But writable and setting books are ok:

guard throw out of city polymorphed players, why not add the same when player wield weapon in city and guard see that?

While I’m crafting I like to take notes on steps necessary to make something so later I can just check my notes. Currently it seems, at least to me, not possible to have more than one book open at a time. It could be useful instead being able to have more than one book open, so for example I could have a crafting technique open and my book with notes open too to copy the necessary steps from the crafting technique.

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).

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.

An newbie in the tutorial brought up this idea, and I like it a lot:
It would be nice if the char creation provided a clickable link or a pop-up window to the naming policy.

I would like to see an Auto Guard system of some sort

I recently Made a mini game on PS and went to a GM event to have things Engraved but im running into A problem that if I somehow lose connection I would be subject to an OCC Robery of these items, And they are food Items So someone could pick them up, Eat them, And log off. While im still trying to log back in. weather it be from an enemy or A fake Alt.

Not only that but I placed a book on the buildboard to look for a guard to help me guard the display, a couple hours later it was gone. A player shouldn’t have to ask a GM everytime they want to place a book…. Ask Any GM and im sure they will agree with that!

ICly I could put a spell on something or report it to the guards, but these might have little effect other then a sure solution.

I will list some solutions, umm… Tell Me what you think? :)

1. Create A spell For Players To Lockdown there own Items/Command (time period Has no meaning Do to Bad weather that lasts hours)

2. Lol I donno… Number 1 sounds like the only solution Or all the others tye into it. I’ll Try to think of more and post them in comments

The next day I hear people in Gossip channel talking about someone taking a book so Its effecting All players

Currently the GUI is one major flaw of Planeshift in my opinion, it makes it look worse than it deserves. A few examples:

• Just try to play the tutorial on a 15 inch laptop (1366×768). As soon as you need to open up the inventory most of the screen is covered, you can’t even close the window because the top right cross is out of screen. I needed multiple tries to find a spot on that window to be able to drag it down and close it finaly.

• We now have channels. But the new basic chat gui hides it by default. New Players with a new installed client don’t see it. A lost chance to show them there are people online actually.

• The possibility to reduce the amount of tabs in the chat window is great but is also a pain in the a.. if every new guildmember needs to be guided through the processs of enabling the guildchat, even a restart is needed. Why not make this tab pop up if someone is in a guild…if the guild joins an alliance make this tab pop up. If not these two are hidden by default?

• Playing this game now for around 5 years I think and at least I have the impression we get with every single release new commands to be used in shortcuts. Thats great, for advanced players…for new ones it is confusing. IMHO its time to take a breath and review them, sort them in order of importance and decide which should be used in the gui and how. Can’t remember how often I heard the question: “How do you mine ores”. A ‘logical’ way could be that you rightclick your character and get it as option (well now there is “introduce yourself”, does it do something?) when the rockpick is equipped, is the fishing rod equipped you fish as option. Also summoning your pet and mount is only possible via commands. The described way could make these also more accessible. (There are also illogical flaws, if mounted you can unmount after rightclick, but you don’t get the mount option when righclick on your mount)

• Think about if some can be combined into one command. We ‘use’ the riveter, anvil etc. Why do we /dig or /fish and not /use the rockpick or fishing rod. I can only think thats a leftover from when we had to /dig iron etc explicit.

Enough for now, hope you guys have enough time to think about it.

spells that give buffs should have their duration reset upon further castings instead of casting having no effect within the spells duration.

If I cast defensive wind, currently subsequent castings have no effect while the spell is active. Could this be changed so that the second spell restarts the duration timer?

GET RID OF KEYS and replace it with a keypad code when door is clicked.

Player who has been given keypad privileges after being accepted to guild now can simply CLICK DOOR and enter a password.

IF password is correct, THEN the player magically gets teleported inside.

IF Guild Leader feels any guild member is exploiting their access powers and making a mess inside (like stealing), THEN access is revoked in the GUILD MEMBER screen by right clicking player name and option called REVOKE KEYPAD USE. Only Guild Leader and PERMISSIONS for specific Member Levels can change this back and forth.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

1) For damage capped spells, sliding the power bar above the point where max damage is produced, mana cost is over-charged against the character, in addition to lowering success chance and increasing casting time more than appropriate.

2) If the kill shot (magic) produces more damage than needed to finish off the target, full mana cost is charged even if not needed.

I think it would be more appropriate if the mana cost was down-scaled to the net effect:
- if target only has 30 hit points left, a 60-point damage spell should only charge half the mana
- if target only needs 5 hit points to be fully healed, a 60-point healing spell should only charge 1/12th of the mana cost
- for area spells, calculate against sum effect on all impacted targets.
- if you’re going to cap damage, should also cap mana cost and not over-penalize in success chance and cast time when the slider is set too high

Where I’ve referenced the magic power slider above, same should be true for spell commands that explicitly have a power value
- i.e. “/cast 90 Taste of Death”

Justification: The mage should be able to determine if a “light touch” will suffice, but players have no way to turn down magic power to improve success chance and/or reduce mana cost and casting time.

Taking this a step further, practice and experience perhaps should be similarly down-scaled, with the possibility of giving none if no actual effect is the result (this would impact spam casting for power-leveling).

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.

The ability to sort in the storage window is awesome. However, it would also be nice to be able to search your storage for a specific item within a category. I think this would mostly be useful in weapons categories, but I can see it being useful for other categories as well. For example, if I’m looking in category: weapons - axes and I want to find all of my blah blah blah of the hammer axes, it would be nice to be able to filter by “of the hammer”. Sorting is great, but if you’re looking for an item with a specific modifier, and it’s not a prefix, it’s hard to find.

With trunk, equipped items whose requirements are not met at the moment are disabled (old bt #2618). There should be a visual indication of this in the inventory view. Quote:

—– Posted by ThomPhoenix at 3:45 PM on 12-02-2007 —– Yes, perhaps the art team can make a translucent PNG with a big red cross on it and this one can be overlayed on your equipped item’s icon. That would show that your item is not working. Perhaps something more subtle can be made too, although a red cross would be clear.

When i first enter in the guild house, i inspected the arounds to remember what i had already seen in the pasts months , the pics and so :}

But i was disappointed by the fact that i cant close the door :( i mean by the inside..
i take the example that one of my guildmate invited her husband in it but then she had to go out to lock the door and enter it again. (OMG she can enter even if its locked! wOw hehe ^^)

Maybe its planed but then i have no possibility to check if its or not :}

The way it works now:

If I want to purchase a weapon that is better than those offered by NPCs (Trasok, Harnquist, etc) I must find someone who is capable of crafting the item I am looking for, which can be IC, but also find out when they are going to be online, which is OOC. I have spent more hours than I can count trying to find crafted items for sale in Hydlaa and Akkaio. It can be great for RP to have players sitting around doing nothing but selling their wares, but players are going to want to do something other than sit the entire time they are in-game, and there are not enough players to be available 24/7 or even a regular in-game 8-5.

The way it should work:

A specialized NPC character (class of characters) should be introduced that can do two things:

1. Hold items for sale.
2. Sell items that are held at a price specified by the original seller.

Desired Implementation example:

1. Crafter makes item and goes to merchant.
2. Crafter sets a price for item to be sold and removes it from his inventory.

 a. this could be done via a specialized trade window/action button.
 b. a seller should be able to remove an item that has not been sold (for a fee).
 c. the seller should be able to change the asking price (for a fee).

3. The item then becomes available for sale to other players to purchase.

 a. a action button and dialog would need to be created to search the merchants inventory.
 b. the items listed should allow a description to be viewed (similar to current buy/sell dialog.
 c. when an item is purchased it is removed from the merchants inventory.

4. The money would be taken from the buyer and either

 1. placed on the merchant to be claimed by the seller any time after the item was sold (minus commission)
 or
 2. placed in a bank account (minus commission)

*
Design consideration should be made for if each NPC merchant is self-contained, or if the NPC merchants know about the inventory of other merchants and can offer those items for sale (for a additional delivery fee)
*

Justifications:

1. Players are not available 24/7.
2. All characters should not be crafters (not realistic for RP)
3. Economy would be much more realistic and less OOC as items would not be as difficult to buy/sell.
4. RP is not lost as a crafter can still sell their wares (with no fees) if they sell direct.

Steps to reproduce:

N/A

The way it works now:

I mine ore or get weapons drops from killing monsters and sell them to a NPC. These items then simply disappear into the ether.

The way it should work:

The items purchased by a NPC should be available for players to purchase, at a mark-up to what the NPC bought the item for.

Example, If I sell 20 Iron Ore to Trasok, then he should have 20 Iron Ore for sale.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Acquire an item that a NPC will purchase.
2. Open the buy/sell dialog with this merchant.
3. Notice that when in “buy” view there are no items in the appropriate category.
4. Sell the item in question.
5. Go back to the “buy” view and observe that there is still no itme for sale in that category.

Justifications:

1. The players/devs have expressed a desire in the forums to have a stable economy. This will help.
2. For RP, the prices should fluctuate depending on a very simplified supply/demand algorithm.
3. For RP, how can a merchant justify shelling out mountains of trias for items that never seem to get used.

 a. Trasok shouldn't fit in his house with all the silver/gold ingots he has bought over the years.

4. This will help crafters be able to get raw materials at reasonable IC-justifiable prices and hopefully get prices for crafted items to be reasonable and IC-justifiable as well.

this bug has a list of all gm feature requests attached to make it easier to find them

Since players rely heavily on log files, and since some files like saved books and screenshots are created by the client in various folders, could the installation package please create shortcuts to these folders in the start menu on windows, and whatever the equivelant is on other platforms? Would certainly make it easier for players to find them when they need them.

Also either set the psupdater shortcut to include the CheckIntegrity flag as default or create a second one with that flag.

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…

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.

/take [amount|all] [stack] [item]
Out of a opened container even when non selected for like sacks that are in your inventory.

/loot [group] [item|all|trias]

We’d like if the /dequip command would stack the same type and quality items in inventory when it’s used in shortcut.
It’s important for crafters, especially in case of hammering chain mail rings, but also would come handy for blacksmiths, blade or shield makers who want to separate Q300 items from other qualities which ones require more work.

In case of armor making crafters used to drop and pick up all the rings to stack the Q300 ones, since /pickup command do the stacking on same quality items. (This breaks immersion of role players, especially at Harnquist.)

The function also would prevent accidental manual grouping of non-Q300 items (blades, ingots etc.) with the carefully selected Q300 items in a slot.

every other game I’ve played helped its players out with a world map and mini map. in some of them, some areas in those games might not have allowed maps. but they all had maps. why doesn’t PlaneShift have a map system to help us navigate? or at the very least give us a compass!

when i edit book and load it from file i would like see list of files i can load,
in additonal user books not stack that make it hard to carry for sale :( so another proposition if i put empty book into writted one it stack and and i have 2 identical -easy way to copy books

btw book name is not changed when i load it from file and i have to edit it every time

spells are laggy one less others more , players cry for the lag during events, cant imagine how it would laggy with 300 players online
so ingame ability to disble the effect would litle solve it
we could have slider simiar to grafics detail distance and when its set to 0 all efects would disabled , small distance would allow to see own spells and not get lagged by others

would be great if somone review the effects if there is way to optimalize it and make less laggy

i would like to see an overload for /mount where you can simply call /mount <petname>

if the pet is not in world the pet will be summoned and than targeted automatically prior to the mount command.
if the pet is listed as summoned the command will attempt to target the pet prior to mounting.
if the pet is in world but out of range the command will give the normal error for being out of range.
