An "Undo" button on the new music writer that could go back at least one step would be very helpful. Thanks!!

If I get a new quest while the quest & event notebook window is open, the quest doesn’t appear in the list until I close and reopen the window. Can getting a new quest cause a refresh of the list of uncompleted quests?

I made a char with a very short name (Min).
Everytime some says a word this name is part of (like “I’m coMINg home.”), the whole line
gets highlighted in blue.

Accorind to the /help menu, " should be able to say "/join 0" and then "/leave 0", but /leave does not leave "0". Intead it says, "Please specify a chennel hotkey number to leave". Am I supposed to know what a chennel hotkey is?

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.

This appears to be an option to have lines that appear in Main chat prefaced by origin e.g. [guild], [alliance], etc., provided a user has filtered messages from other chat tabs to appear in Main. However, it seems to work whether or not the option is enabled. Is this a bug or just deliberately no longer an option?

Regardless of which of the three options is selected, communication seems to switch the active tab automatically to Main if the current tab can't display it. Bug or intentional?

October 25, 2013 If 'User Interface' the wrong "Area", please move this request to where it should be.

This feature request is to provide a VIEW ONLY capability for stored items in our inventory, regardless of where we are located in the game. To be able to view exactly what we would see if we were standing in front of a storage NPC would be ideal and would be in character.

We could sit for hours and log all of our stored inventory items in a book and update it, but gaming is meant to be fun.

By granting this request it would be easier for players to:

• Help new arrivals to PlaneShift

• Help merchants know exactly how many items they have stored away that could be sold at the marketplace

• Grant auction requests much faster since we wouldn't need to run to a storage NPC to see if we have the requested item

• Complete quests. For example, we'd see we only need 2 more tefu-skins or one more gold ingot to complete a quest

A UI improvement: This would make things much more convenient for spells like Dweomer Detection, but generally in cases where an action is performed on an object such as repairing weapons and armor. It would be great if the object of the action was (first choice) an external object that you have in focus. If there is no such object, use the one in the sword hand.

Right now, there is a mix of both of these things implemented. This would make it consistent and convenient. Right now it's quite awkward to have to drop an item, and then focus on it before casting a spell on it.

When I am moving items out of my inventory and get the window to confirm the number of items to move, if the confirmation window is over another window, clicking the OK button closes the amount window (correctly) but pulls the lower window to the top.

Steps to reproduce: Position the Inventory window such that the left overlaps the middle of another window (e.g. a container). Pick a stack of items from the left inventory window with a left-button click. The Amount window should appear with the "OK" button over the lower window. Click "OK." The items will be picked up but the other window will now be on top of the inventory window.

The click action does not trigger an action in the lower window. If the shortcut window is the lower window, the shortcut under the OK will not be triggered, but the shortcut window will be pulled to the top. This may be related to PS#6251.

Currently when leaving PlaneShift, the only option is to completely exit the client. It would be convenient to be able to go back to the character selection screen and/or the login screen rather than having to restart the client.

Often then I'm trying to speak with NPC using "new" NPC dialog, on activate it shows NPC's reply bubble with a common public phrase (instead of [private] quest choices).

Think that NPC speech bubble should be displayed only for NPC's replies on quest choices / answers. Rule is simple: no quest choices made in dialog session = no need to show NPC reply bubble. All other NPC talk should be directed to the chat.

I would like to request that saved quest notes be moved from client side into the book database. currently the quest notes are saved locally and are very vulnerable frequently getting deleted during client repair or re installs. additionally for players who have more than one computer these notes do not properly persist between clients.

considering that players are already allowed to write books and that text data takes up very little space there is really no reason NOT to move this feature server side.

another major issue with the current implementation is that the quest’s description is missing a lot of key information provided by the npc conversation such as names and locations.

a perfect example is the quest Masked Mistress where the description tells you the summary however does not include her brothers name which is given in the npc dialogue.

the lost of quest notes can easily render a quest impossible to complete without asking a person for spoilers or searching through game logs for the missing conversation.

Scrolling with the mousewheel does not work if the mousecursor is over one of the listed buffs.
It works only if the mousecursor is besides or between the buffs.

It could be useful to have a visual feedback to signal to other players when someone is AFK or is typing into the chat (maybe in main chat tab).
I ran a poll into the “whishlist” section of the forum.
Since I had some good suggestions/opinions from other players I put a link to the thread so it can be used as a reference and to understand how the proposed visual feedback is:
Do you think bubbles showing when someone is AFK or someone is typing into the chat are useful?

Would it be possible to change how the code handles missing parts of gui in xml, so it shows an error rather than crashing. example being with page numbers and using an old xml which did not contain them, client currently crashes as soon as you view a book. it would be nice to at least get a message pointing at cause

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.

You can show the Help dialog (menu button or /show help); but to read the verbose explanation about a specific command, you have to search for it in the tree of categories, which may be a little time consuming.

It may be helpful for more experienced users to have a command which opens the Help dialog and navigates to the topic about the command if it exists.

I could imagine e.g. a command like /about command to call the verbose help for the topic /command.

System tab: Could the information there be split up further, like for the logs, into something like combat, crafting, soul commands (emotes and interaction commands like /greet), so you can have more control what is shown in Main tab?

This was briefly discussed in the Dev meeting (22/02/2015), and should be assigned to Eredin.

Thank you.

In the interface tab of the options/settings menu, some options don’t seem to save at relog.

Items affected:
- menu bar size
- visible shortcut rows
- chat tabs
- time stamps
- max history

Some options in settings are not being saved after closing the game. They revert to default or adopt other settings.

- Interface → Visible shortcut rows

- Controls → quickbar → shortcuts (Conflicts with “Others” menu → “shortcuts” bar?)

- Chat logs directory → time stamps (May not be functional?)

Issues with shortcuts / quickbar / “shortcut bar” / “macro editor” are the most noticeable and make assigning shortcuts a time-consuming task that requires restarting the game multiple times over.

It would be nice to use alias names from buddy list for /tell command.
e.g name: full_char_name, alias: Loyni.
/tell Loyni [text] could be translated itnernally to
/tell full_char_name [taxt].

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.

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 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.

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.

Function to set a guarded item as sellable, with price.

/sellitem name price

Confirmation for sale, confirming price to purchaser.
Confirmation text message/description in main when sale has occurred.

Would need at least a button visible in context menu to initiate sale.
Set item for sale and price could be command-line, that’d still work.

Misrepresentation of the character in the Inventory
All my dwarves (dark haired) are affected
I use a self-compiled client (0.5.4/0.5.5)
The same on Windows (0.5.4)

It would be useful if the Option-Window also had an option to change the label-colour for people on ones' buddylist. This would especially be useful when there are a lot of players around, but it would make it easier to spot buddies in general as well.

Log in with main char.
create shortcut
log out
log in with another char.
shortcut created with main character shows on all alternates.

Log in with separate account
shortcuts from main account are also transferred to here

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

Select furnace, click on “look” icon. In opened window none of the icons open your personal inventory… Some of these Icons also got the wrong description when hoovering them

Since a while PSUnreal has a pop window in inventory that appears then hovering with the mouse pointer over inventory slots with items or containers in it.

It is a nice feature.

However in the top right slots of the inventory the popup window overlaps the slot the mouse pointer is over and slots in the neighborhood of it. It thus covers part of the inventory content which makes it more difficult to navigate to the right items.

# How to reproduce

- Move inventory window to the lower right corner of the PlaneShift Unreal window or screen.
- Put some items or containers in the top right inventory slots
- Hover with the mouse pointer over them.

# Actual results

When hovering over the top right slot the popup window covers 4 slots in the upper 2 rows seen from the top right corner of the inventory slot area.

When you click remember Password the password looks like it is being duplicated then saved and then will not work.

In Legacy, moving the camera with the mouse centers the cursor and hides its visibility until the camera movement button is released.

In Unreal, moving the camera with the mouse allows the cursor to visibly move around the screen and stray off the PS window. Fullscreen is not capturing the mouse during non-combat camera movement, so moving camera too far can result in clicking on windows of other applications on another monitor.

Feature request:

Moving camera with mouse buttons to set position of cursor to center of PS window and toggle cursor invisible until mouse button is released.

Emote messages in chatbox from or targeting NPCs displays their names as if they have a first name if there is a space in the name. The word before the space becomes the only part of the name displayed.

“>Sarras blows a kiss at Flayed.” (Flayed Velnishi)

“>Sarras grabs hold of Dlayo and begins to dance.” (Dlayo Gladiator)

“>Poison yells for Sarras to flee!” (Poison Carkarass)

Hello,
I would like to propose providing a full map and compass at the start of the game instead of making it something you need to build or quest for. The map should show the current location of the player when opened and the direction they are facing. The map will only have major locations such as cities, towns, and camps but will also include unlockable locations such as caves. I feel some kind of map/mini-map is a common feature in most games and it will help retain new players since they will have basic directions at the start of the game. Thank you for your consideration.

Please allow additional rows for the shortcuts as well as more shortcuts per row. I utilized shortcuts quite a bit in the legacy game and I liked the ability to have small icons with a ton of shortcuts. This will probably need to be a setting to input the total number of rows and the number of shortcuts per row. The icons would need to scale to fit. Thank you for your consideration.

Requesting where we type in the chat window scales with the rest of the window.

We can select a larger font, but where we type in the chat window does not change, only the rest of the chat window.

Note: There is a huge difference between font size 4 and 5. Suggest to have something in between if at all possible.

In Legacy your name is highlighted in red when mentioned in Chat. This is not the case in PSU

The NPC interaction window can only be controlled via mouse clicks, which is extremely cumbersome – particularly giving the full screen scale – bordering the unintuitive for some parts,.

Going back and forth between the menu entries and the dialogue window to click the progression arrow is cumbersone as well as leaving the view (and here we are extremely unintuitive) with a mouse click in the corner, instead of supporting the Escape key.

My proposals (ranked by importance, most important first):

1) allow for exiting the view by assigning the ESC key to the leave button
2) allow for dialogue progression by hitting the space bar (having your character jump in this view is really an expendable “feature”) or at least have the arrow key right assigned to that right pointing arrow appearing under the lefthand dialogue section.
3) selecting conversation options on the right-hand side via numbers 1-9 (range should suffice for 99% of the present cases).

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 is most limiting when trying to juggle multiple containers (such as the furnace and the stock casting) at once.

Snow and rain happen inside guild houses. Lighting also appears be affected by day/night cycles. Not sure if this is related to FS#7424 - guild house: no collision detection inside guild house.

Could it be possible to add server version info (and possibly aso recommended/required minimal client version) to the server status page, i.e. to http://planeshift.zeroping.it/index.php?page=about_page for zeroping server? It could help to determine easily whether the update is required/recommended without need to start pslaunch when you don't use it to load the client.

Any way to get MyPlane running on HTTPS? I am thinking before someone has a problem. Not positive on the category on this one, thanks.

There is no part and icon for the current release in the “PlaneShift Loyal Fan” section of the MyPlane achievements yet.

In order to speed things up and reduce the overall impact I prepared three proposals:

_{For aesthetic reasons I favour the first, as it has the best balance in colour and motif, although the two others are a bit more expressive, when it comes to representing the new features.}

Just an FYI but the info being posted on the calendar for the dev meetings has a typo. Under Content, second sentence the Word developers is typed Devevelopers.

Last paragraph: kra has no gender therefore the he’s should be changed to kra’s.

The kran looks at the written page, tilting his head a bit and scratching the top with his left hand. - “Well, I never been a novelist, but that should do it, I guess.” He stands up from the giant crystal table, picks a thick cloak and looks outside the window of his sculptured stone house. He concentrates a bit and thanks to his magic vision, he reaches the Hydlaa plaza. - “mmmm… there is still much more to do, but things are surely getting better. Time for some magic!”
