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

While casting spells in ways that i do not have max level in.

i receive no information about experience gained in the way

Magic light is giving no additional light in game after casting it.

on lowest graphics settings no light
on medium no light
on high there is light
epic graphics settings it is showing light

Sometimes PSU logs to the wrong logfile, taking my pets name for the logfile instead the name of my character. If I’m not mistaken, the logfile is opened when the first line to log is to be written. If I happen to sit on my pet at the time, the name of my pet is taken instead of the name of my character.

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.

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.

It’s spawned items, probably from a natural resource location.

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.

no task description

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.

when I casted Prayer.

it reapeats the following for each target affected
you sing a prayer,healing everyone who can hear you for 176 points

the spell blessed litany lists all the players affected
you sing a litany, healing %player for XX points and XX stamina

This happens also in Legacy.

Cast poisonous hail storm.
health bar does not decrease even after creature has died

a floating book, that claims to be a dead bird, is floating and inaccessible as it has no collision and thus not allowed to be picked up. position of the book is found by going to /teleport me map hydlaa_plaza 337145.72 -345854.81 10980.61 on teleport you are directly where the book is situated and on a rivnak, a nolthrir has it head high.

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

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

window resizing has no effect on the displayed information.

or that is as indented, and there should be no resize for it.

when snowing for 1 player, it is not snowing for another

I have a container (a sack) with tools. In there, I have a rock pick. Its capacity is 18.85/20. I can move the rock pick from container to inventory and back nicely.

However when I move the rock pick to a different slot in the container, I get:

“Item cannot be added to that container because item is too large to fit.”

I bet what happens is that PSUnreal first tries to add the rock pick to the new slot in the container and only then removes it from the old slot. This is of cause the safe way to do it, however it does lead to above error, as the rock pick has a size of 1.5 and that does not fit in 20-18.85 anymore.

That seems to be the case, cause moving a potion around in a container with capacity 7.90/20 works nicely.

I believe Crystal Space PS had the same “bug”.

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?

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

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.

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…

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).

I think it would be nice if mages would be able to make magic scrolls, on the same patterns as you can enchant gems, you could enchant a paper by spells.

Then anyone could use that scroll to cast magic without magical knowledge, so a crafter or fighter character could use identifing, healing or other type of spells.
The power of the spell and the duration would depend on the quality of the scroll, and that on the way level of the mage who created it.

Scroll would be crafted from papers on the same way as you make enchanted crystals from gems.
It could use an ‘intermediate object’ or multiple glyph enchanting on a single paper would do it too.
For example, if a spell is a 3 glyph combination then the crafter would need to use those 3 glyphs (in the right order?) to apply the spell on the scroll.

Using the scrolls would work through the /use command.
/use Scroll of Healing Flash
/use Scroll of Analyze Dweomer
/use Scroll of Fist of the Volcano

The script should consider what is targeted, if an item is targeted, you could use identifing, if a mob or player has been targeted you could use the spell on the target too for attacking or buffing.
You also would be able to cast spells on other players that are only allowed now to cast on yourself like Dome of Perfection.

I already discussed it with weltall, who doesn’t see technical limitations in implementation yet.

Possible addition of the ability to teleport all PC’s enrolled in an event at once to avoid accidentally grabbing a passer by with the area option.

1. Ability to teleport to the player from the petition window
2. Player side: /petition should open the petition window with a short introducing text (in another text window?) how to use the petitions (not to post wishlist items there, how to use (possible) categories..)
3. There should be a drop-down menu for selecting a category [Not Specified; Movement; Bugreport; Name; Event; Harassment; Quest; Miscellaneous] to classify the report. This could be used for statistical purposes post-process as well.
4. A button to mark the petition as URGENT which will add a parseable <star><star> URGENT<star><star> (<star> = *)to the header of the petition so our post-processing tools (aka gmbot) can forward/poke outside the game. (This is important!)
5. Before the petition is finished there should be a preview to check everything again, to make last changes.
6. As long as the petition is unassigned the button shows “claim”, once claimed the button shows “release” to unassign the petition again.

Request from  FS#3092 :

“In the GM petition window, there should be a button ‘Guidelines for petitioning’ and when you click it, it gives just that. Guidelines for petitioning.

I recently filed a petition and didn’t know what to include, what was superfluous, whether it was too long winded or not, etc.”

Request from  FS#3101 :

“We need enhanced petition system to allow adding several notes and note titles, as well as ability to review closed petitions.
The ability to add several notes to a petition would also help us handle an issue, then log off, but leave notes for other GM’s to review what we have done and pick up / complete.”

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.

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

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

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.

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).

There are several issues I experienced during testing the Character Creation / Race Selection:

• Hair style is hard to check if manual rotation is necessary during zoomed view.
• Male Ylian: blonde/brown are confusing names for face textures, they should possibly be changed to emotions. Blonde 1 and Blonde 2 appear identical.
• Male Dermorian: Face style “Forehead tatoo …” is too long to be readable completely
• Female Dermorian: “Medium” style is shorter than “Short” style
• Stonehammer: Race description still mentions “Stonebreaker”. Many descriptions may need an update after the race renovation.
• Male Stonebreaker (and others): Hair and Beard styles may need a more descriptive name.
• Female Stonehammer: Traits seem to be misordered. If “Braids” are the two long upper tails, and “Rivnak tail” should probably be the one long tail, then “Lavvar tail” should instead be the two small low tails? What is a Lavvar, anyway?
• Kran: I’d prefer visually disabling both male and female gender buttons. Leaving the female activated might be confusing.
• Female Ynnwn: Face style “White eyes” doesn’t use white eyes. The name should possibly be changed, e.g. “Aged” (in contrast to “Young”).

Now we have space for 200 shortcuts/Macros it would be useful if one could group sets of shortcuts into their own subwindow so one could have a window for combat shortcuts, a window for crafting, a window for RP shortcuts etc.

It could be fixed 4×20 8×10 or user selectable

Players, Taya, and I have all seen that crafted items are suddenly missing them name of the crafter. There are also reports of missing names such as “finest”.

I was also able to craft a steel ingot and within a few minutes I managed to lose the information in the examine window which showed I was the crafter of the item.

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

In Fishing Lessons for Fish, the quest dialog does not match the quest notes for that particular task. In one possible task the player is told to get 6 eels and 7 manta rays, but the quest notes say 7 eels and 6 manta rays. The player seemed to indicate that it was the notes that were wrong, but isn’t online for me to double-check.

My character was attacking a Rogue in fully defensive mode with the following spells active and the damage was not noticeably reduced.

Animate Vegetation
Armoured Skin
Defensive Wind
Dome of Perfection
Lesser Future Sight
Rock Armor
Water Barrier

This is ridiculous.
One of these spells should have some protective effect and all of them active at the same time should have some additive effect.
Character was wearing no armor at the time.

I tried attacking a kikiri with two ‘Dark Dagger’ and I got the following system messages

(20:29:33) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:29:33) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:29:33) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >You’ve gained 1 practice points in Knives & Daggers.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.
(20:30:37) >Your dark weapon drains 10 HP from Venalan.

So every attack I do with two Dark Daggers is doing two rounds of extra damage and not just one extra round of damage.

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 can easily shoot with a bow ingame to ranges far beyond the range of combat messages. Mob aggro (and sometimes the archery anim) do not work at such long ranges, either.

Sometimes when I’m attacking NPCs with a spell, I’ll see the following messages:

“I failed to move, will teleport in 5 sec.” “I was teleported here, waiting 5 sec.” “now I located the spawn point.”

I’ve had this happen with rogues in Ojaveda and in the Sewers where there don’t appear to be any obstacles to their movement.

It’s really annoying to have to go track down the NPC to finish it off.
