It would be nice if I could target a player with clicking his name in the group list

When you add a filter string to the /study window the empty lines between the item entries is lost such that you end up with long list of items. I think it might look better if the empty lines were maintained when a search string is entered

I would be nice to have the option to set the filter string to “item names” or “processes”. Such that you could search for an item “battle axe” and only see the steps under the heading “battle axe*” or search processes for things like “apple” and see every step that uses an apple.

In the Glyphs tab of the Store screen of Legacy, glyphs were shown as purified or not. This is not the case in PSU.

I have been playing around with the llvm/clang static source code analyzer (http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html) for a while, and thought it might be fun to run it on the planeshift source code (svn r8433). Even though especially the c++ analyzer is still viewed as beta quality at this time, the results are interesting and can be found here :

musicians trying to sync up to play as a band/group is difficult.
to fix this i suggest commands /groupplay and /groupstop be made
the musicians would form a group and each one would put the song they are to play in their left hand (that way one person can play a flute piece and another plays a lira piece, another drums, etc)
the group leader would issue the commands for starting and stopping
the system would broadcast the command to each client to start playing (like the way group chat is sent to the members of the group).
the piece would play at the default speed for the music score
if the group is disbanded while playing everyone would have to automatically stop playing
if a player leaves the group they would have to automatically stop playing too.

only difficulty I would see is if one of the players is unable to play the selected piece at the default speed, the system would either have to have that person not play with an error of not talented enough or play at the fastest they can play (which would sound bad but be realistic)

I've noticed that the sound effects for things like fountains and fires seem to be based on where the camera is located, not where the player is.

To demonstrate, go to 3rd person follow mode and move the camera well back from the character. Position the character near a sound generating item (fireplace in front of temple works). You won't hear it. Move away from the object so that the camera is next to it and you will hear it.

Not all shortcuts from shortcuts window are in "Options→Controls→Shortcuts"
If you set/change a key in shortcuts window the key does not get set/changed in options window until you relog.

The following is not really a bug but more feature request
If you set a key you can set
LShift - RShift
LCtrl - RCtrl
LAlt - RAlt

But if you make key combos it will just turn to
Shift+key
Ctrl+key
Alt+key

Would it be possible to set
LShift+key
LCtrl+key
LAlt+key
RShift+key
RCtrl+key
RAlt+key

That will open up allot more possible key combinations.

Throughout the GUI, some options are referred to by multiple or misleading names, which can be confusing and make communicating about them difficult.

On the toolbar → ‘Others’ the shortcut bar is labeled “shortcuts”, but editing the shortcuts shows a widget labeled “Macro Editor”. To reach the shortcuts in Settings menu → Controls, you must scroll down to a section labeled “quickbar”. There are a list of 10 shortcuts below, but “quickbar” is not used as a label anywhere else in the game. It would not be evident to a new player that these are related.

Toolbar → ‘Others’ → ‘options’ opens Settings menu. This is less confusing but may confuse some players when trying to navigate GUI. (My suggestion would be to change “Settings” label to “Options” as we also say “settings” to refer to lore, quests, NPCs, etc.)

Toolbar → ‘Character’ → ‘character’ opens the inventory window.

On install, the launcher defaults to a software sound source which seems to do nothing. I get no sound from it in either windows or linux. Perhaps it should default to openal if that is the only sound system that actually works. Possibly the software selector in pslaunch should be removed or renamed “no sound”

Most quests start with an intro and a confirmation for the player to accept the quest. For those that have skill requirements and/or time locks, instead of hiding the quest completely, perhaps it would be better to expose such quests when the character is otherwise qualified (e.g completed other quests in the chain) and do the skill / time check in the intro steps and have the NPC inform the character that they need to practice more before they can continue, or say something along the lines of "too busy right now, come back tomorrow". This way the player will know the quest is there, and get a hint of what they need to do. Going around and touching all the NPC's and finding nothing just feels like a bug when one knows there should be quests out there someplace.

Since you can now only wield Shields left-handed due to what I mentioned in bug 7867, only the right hand trains one handed weapons, and two handed weapons give half the training in either hand.

Hi! As reported in "bug" (bug #5867) spell effects performance is pretty slow on Intel Sandybridge HD 3000 graphics. I understand that this may well be a driver / hardware limitation. Due to the extreme slowness its not easy to roleplay on events when other players cast effects, cause then basically I can not do anything anymore. Except for that the performance is quite nice for onboard gfx, enough for me at least, even at 1680x1050.

Cause of this I would like a way to reduce the quality of *just* the spell effects a bit. I found that I can disable them alltogether by setting shaders to "lowest". But any other settings for shaders doesn´t have any visible effect on performance. Also shaders to "lowest" worsens the other gfx as well.

I also learned I can disable spell effects altogether, by removing the *.eff files from effects directory.

What I would like now is a way to configure spell effects to reduced quality and (hopefully) improved performance. This may also be good for other users of old hardware.

Thanks,
Martin

It would be nice to bea able to make a bag in your inventory the default collection bag.

I think sorting things after that should be manual thou.

If you take a rare looted item out of a bag, try to equip it, but can’t because of Stat requirements, then train a stat, drop the bag and pick it up again, the item disappears.

Then if you try to store it there are 2 copies, and the server crashes if you store them. Item lost after restart.

Crash and item loss can be avoided if you relog before storing.

serpent gobbles are supposed to patrole the river irfon on both banks with a sleeping area and fishing area close to /pos 400650.50 -327828.62 7508.37. at present they simply stay in one place unless you attack them. they then move and attack back. in legacy, they would attack regardless of your strength against them.

In the skills window, the scroll bar doesn’t works with scroll button on mouse in all tabs. Works as expected in the Stats and Combat tabs. Does not work in the Magic, Jobs, Various, or Factions tab. The scroll bar needs to be manually grabbed and dragged to see the rest of the window.

The scroll bar also doesn’t scroll down far enough in the factions tab and in order to see the very bottom of the tab; the window has to be resized to see the bottom.

Example found in all Alchemist items, example Alchemist Freezer

Error on console is:

Error in ><let> bindings<: Given a NULL iScriptableVar* for >RightItem<.

The scripts are run through : ApsCharacter::InvokeAttackScripts()

The first thing is to execute this script part:
   RightItem=Attacker:GetItem(0);
   QuaLevel=RightItem:Quality/50;

 In a similar case with GetItem(0) but outside of <let> we get MathStatement::Evaluate() with RightItem=nan , it works.

  The player would define a starting state, a series of "qualifiers" controlling a custom menu of "actions" that may be taken on the object.
  Qualifiers could check attributes, skills, possession of an item, or internal counters.
  Each action could execute one or more commands, for example /shout, /say, or /tell to the person who acted on it, or update its description or internal counters.
  All descriptions and internal counters would be shared to all clients within range as well as persist.

Weapon types that I’d find useful in RP and could be more-or-less stood in for with existing art, but aren’t statted/craftable:

• Rapiers/some sort of thin thrusting sword – this could use a longsword model for now until we get a proper rapier model in (I might make a low-fi rapier model if I get motivated enough to dust off Blender, even…)
• Spears (and perhaps other polearm forms) – these can use the quarterstaff model until a proper model is implemented for them

When you ride around on a rivnak, you get these weird stutters. They’re not frame stutters, but the character skips forward. This was tested in Amdenier on roofs and the road.

you can walk on water at this river: cup_of_laanx 717636.88 -659357.94 10930.61

You are supposed to be able to go see Niala, but the door does not work if you haven’t already got house of power access.

messages.cpp misses another operand?

if(command == “/newguild” || command == “/endguild” || command == “/guildname” || command == “/guildpoints” || command == “/allianceleader”)

 {
     guildname = words.GetTail(1);
     return;
 }

Due to the number of enemies with de buffs to strength the problem arises when one of these de buffs occurs in combat and causes a player to become over encumbered. this will almost always result in a 100% chance of death due to the speed at which combat occurs and there being no mechanisms to quickly drop inventory in an emergency situation. The primary counter to this would be spells that either clear the de buff or counter it such as strength. Currently you cannot cast spells while over encumbered and I consider this a unfair and illegitimate restriction that actively prevents players from using the abilities required to counter the de buff and unfairly rendering them unable to defend themselves when this occurs during combat. I would argue the you cant cast spells while sitting and while over encumbered shroud be relaxed or removed because they only serve to ensure a players death due to a combat de buff and serve no reasonable or legitimate game play purpose

Essentially the same issue as http://70.32.40.136/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=5579 except that the file in question is amb-day_forrest_4 This is happening in the outdoor area at the arena.

Fri May  4 19:13:58 2012, <src/plugins/common/soundmanager/data.cpp:167 LoadSoundFile SEVERE>
Fri May  4 19:13:58 2012, Can't load file 'amb-day_forrest_4'!

for now I added:

<Sound name="amb-day_forrest_4"       file="/planeshift/art/sounds/amb/day_forrest_3.ogg" /> 

after:

<Sound name="amb-day_forrest_3"       file="/planeshift/art/sounds/amb/day_forrest_3.ogg" /> 

In legacy you could start typing a persons name in and press TAB to auto complete the name.

Currently in the Unreal chat box, pressing tab removes focus from the chat window.

1. Avoid lore experts needing to tell people they are wearing something their race is not supposed too.
2. limit the level of power gaming

Noriko has been doing a lot of quest testing lately, and has found a number of quests where quest notes should be added so that returning players (or those who don’t use their logs) can pick up where they left off. I’ll pass along what she’s put in the petitions to this report.

*Road to Master Cook Chapter One
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Two
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Three
*Road to Master Cook Chapter Four

In each case, the quests notes are very good except when Mirra first gives the quest. The notes only include a generic line about helping Mirra be a better cook, and fail to mention where she’s sent you or what she wants.

*Helping Mirra

No useful quest notes at all.

*Where the Courier Went

Once the player gets the name Shian Sulkin it should probably be added to the quest notes, in case logs aren’t available.

I’ll add more as they’re reported.

As with other windows with 1600 by 1000 and other similar ratios it does not fit on the screen properly.

In some quests there is a delay before you can talk to an NPC again. One example of this is Its Gone Bad. In Legacy the players got a message like “You have to wait for 10 minutes before you can continue this quest.” so that they knew what was going on, but in PSU they don’t get the message.

Admittedly, the message is very OOC, but without it there’s no way for a player to know why they cannot proceed with the quest. If the messages cannot be restored, maybe a line of dialog from an NPC saying that they’ll have more to say later?

After Telzanna tell about a profession (my character chose cook), the options to ask her about other professions do not appear again.

(Merrinez’ Bad Mood)

When I carelessly executed the reply “Thses might help your hands.” (typo fix is probably already pending server update), the gloves my character wears disappeared from his hands, and Merrinez received them. I thought worn armor is not considered to be taken in quests?

There are many time in quests and KAs when they have the same trigger, for example “about armor” or “about apples”.

When you click a quest menu (or type some text to an NPC) the first dialogue(s) to be searched should be quests and if a matching trigger is found the quest menu should be sent, then if nothing is found in a quest it should search KAs. What is currently happening when you have two or more matching triggers you are getting a random choice between the quest response and the KA response. This results in players getting what seems to be a response from the NPC but the quest does not continue.

I’ve updated the bug to reflect what is happening with the current code, r9606

At the moment the following option will show “red apple (1 of 2) (1/2)” and “red apple (1 of 2) (2/2)” for the menu pair Menu: no. Menu: yes.

…

P:RA.
Menu: bla.
Smith: wana help.
P:RA1. P:RA2.
Menu: no. Menu: yes.
Smith: shame.
Smith: good.
Complete red apple step 4.

It seems there are now duplicate code checks for counting subsets, or duplicate displays of one counting. This option should really show “red apple (1/2)” and “red apple (2/2)”.

Also now, when you have 8 menus visible from many different quests the number shown is (1/8)-(8/7) so it is done on a total number of menus available, not on a by quest basis. For example, if you have 3 quests active and 8 steps the numbering could be (1/3)(2/3)(3/3), (1/2)(2/2), (1/3)(2/3)(3/3)

Today I saw two characters with a supposedly empty family name, yet it seems to be present. When you greet them, the system message with a trailing dot looks like:

SelfFirstName SelfLastName greets TargetFirstName  .

According to the log file, it is indeed a whitespace, not an Unicode invisible char.

I wonder if it may be related to PS#6482, but I doubt.

I am running ps on a OSX system running 10.9.2. The game crashes regularly however when I am playing it. It doesn’t always happen at the same time or in the same place. It seems that it always gives this error though.

I’ve been doing some testing with the /morph command, and have not yet found a way to get it to work properly. I used my event character and every time I tried to morph into another race gender I had issues with the default Enkidukai texture remaining on the head. There were also other issues, like klyros wings being missing, and the fact that after the tests my enkidukai character now seem to have lemur textures on her hands permanently.

These are the results I got starting with a female enkidukai character, closing the game and loading fresh after each morph:

Dermorian M - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help.
Dermorian F - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help.
Diaboli M - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help. Setting trait first doesn’t help.
Diaboli F - Wrong texture, no back of head. Changing hair trait doesn’t help.
Enkidukai M - Bad face texture, even from female enki
Enkidukai F -
Klyros M - Entirely wrong texture, no wings, back missing
Klyros F - Nothing visible. Helmet and held items show on ground
Kran N - Wrong texture except for hands, oddly.
Lemur M - Wrong texture except hands, no hair. Hand texture remains after relog
Lemur F - Wrong texture except hands, no hair. Hand texture remains after relog
Nolthrir M - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Nolthrir F - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Stonehammer M - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head or beard section of face.
Stonehammer F - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Ylian M - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head
Ylian F - Wrong texture except for hands. No top/back of head

I few quick tests with a female dermorian character were better, but the head texture was always wrong.

the pots are all out of place. wrong angles and height.

We have potions that improve stats, we have potions that improve magic skill, how about potions that improve combat skills and job skills? make alchemists have a little more value :)

It has happened to me a dozen times over since joining UR after it has replaced legacy, I relogged inside a guildhouse/law map and I am eternally falling for having spawned slightly beneath floor level.

In several instances I had to wait hours for a /tp back to the map, and so it is happening again today.

Please make a quick fix of this enabling players to teleport themselves back to the map in such a case. It’s a real downer to have to wait for a long time in such a case, particularly given the fact that you probably have to stay online for a GM to /tp and fix this. Huge waste of energy with the constant 3D animation.

This could also be of help if players are trapped in map geometry, inescapable pits, rifts and so on.

As the title suggests all magic items made by crafters need to be identified. As every magically crafted item made the same way ends up giving exactly the same buff, there is logically no need for the crafter to need to identify an item as they will always know what it will do…

The screenshots pretty much tell the whole story.

1) Have char A (Primatus for me) enter the GH and sit on some furniture.
2) Have char B (Sabor) log into the GH.

A on A’s client is atop the furniture, while on B’s client A is in the furniture. Probably a symptom of the known issues with object spawning in PS, but still….really guys?

I have been trying to place decoration and a book onto the stone block in the entrance area of the guildlaw map (our guildhouse instance of it)
A weapon as well as the book have disappeared inside the map geometry instead of on the surface.

Without command line support for targetting comparable to what we used to have in legacy (/target next item) I don’t see any way of retrieving an item lost this way.

with dummy targeted
/pet target
/pet attack

from longer distance pet fail to attack dummy, it hit arena wall and dissaper
from very short it attack and start rotating.

First - It seems there is a delay in stamina measurment, so what can happen is that you are moving, getting low on stamina, you stop moving but even after that you can still get sometimes “You are exhausted” message. This is more a feature than bug, but I think it is important in this case. So now what happened:
I was riding a rivnak and got low on stamina. I continued riding and reached my target destination before I had actually run out of stamina, but I was very low at the time. I dismounted the rivnak and around this moment I got “You are exhausted” message. After I dismounted I couldn’t move - the game was saying that I was exhausted. I couldn’t cast spells or do anything that is prevevented when you are exhausted. However, the game was displaying I have full stamina (After dismounting a pet there is a small delay before your health and stamina values are updated to be on par with the current values.) and this did not change even after two minutes I was waiting. So the game still though I am exhausted - mounting again the pet did not help. Client restart helped of course.
I think that the problam may be somewhere between delayed “you are exhusted” message and after dismount stamina and health synchronization. It seems that when you receive in right (or wrong :) ) moment the exhaused message the synchronization after dismount fails in some way resulting in character being viewed as exhausted permanently.

Hello everyone!
I have updated my client on 2014-05-01 via launcher. Now game crashes in a few seconds right after loading the world. I can see environment, but my character is not able to move, chat interface is not accessible. After about 20 seconds game crashes and returns to a launcher window. I have tried to clear cache before starting, but it doesn’t help. Using “elves” interface skin by default, but changing to another (scholar) leads to the same behaviour. There was no such issue before an update, but it was some weeks ago, maybe system updates can cause a problem as well. Creating a new character does not help much: I can walk a few steps and then game crashes. After that there is no chance to proceed playing using a brand new char because it starts up already “broken”.
My system is: OS: Russian Fedora Remix 20, 3.8 GB RAM, Intel Core i5 CPU 661@3.33 GHz x 4, OS type 64-bit, Graphics Gallium 0.4 on NVC1, GNOME 3.10.2. Operating system is up to date (all latest updates installed successfully)
Update: I have tried to download a new *.run installer, renamed /home/PlaneShift and /home/.PlaneShift and reinstalled client. Same result: the world is loading, I can see my char standing near Harnquist’s blacksmith area, but GUI is frozen and no movement or animation. after a few seconds game crashes back to launcher window.

A server crash happened while I was inside the Ash Brotherhood Lair.

On restart the stone in the doorway had been reset in its closed position, and I was effectively trapped inside, without a way of triggering the mechanism to re-open the passageway.

There should be a second trigger/gear/switch on the iside.

Output of /who is not sorted alphabetically

Players who have done the Order of the Keen Edge quests do not seem to have their faction points calculated correctly. Players who have done the quests seem to have their faction listed as 0 (Ignored). I checked the quests, and no faction points are awarded by the quests, even though my logs show that faction points were given. Currently, the quests only give faction_level.
