Actually the repair process is absolutely unrealistic and the situation has worsened recently with the transition from 0.02 to 0.2:

  // Lower the maximum quality based on the repair amount
    float newmax = repairTarget->GetMaxItemQuality() - (workEvent->repairAmount * 0.2);
    newmax = (newmax<0) ? 0 : newmax;
    repairTarget->SetMaxItemQuality(newmax);
 
    // If new maximum is greater then current quality reduce current quality
    if (repairTarget->GetItemQuality() > newmax)
    {
        repairTarget->SetItemQuality(newmax);
    }

As you can see the item quality is reduced depending on the teorical repair amount (calculated on player skills, so a skilled repairer will get bigger and bigger differences): this means practically that if i keep care of an item by repairing it frequently it will degrade faster than an item i leave as is and ignore completely it’s maintenance (a simple example a car without maintenance in this case will work for more time than a checked and properly maintained car).

IMHO the right way to manage this would be reducing the quality depending on the effective repair amount applied on the item: this fix would also explain the high repair degrade ratio which was recently added (wouldn’t 0.1 be better?)

There is a waysign between Aldaaren Phostle and the East Gate. Its description says: “East Road ends herein a small common…” – I’d suggest to separate it into “here in”.

Furthermore I believe the title has grammar flaws too.

There is a confusing sentence:

[NPC] Aleena Arlavin says: You can just heat the oil in a pot make, but you can also add some Lavender Flower with that to make Lavender oil.

The “make” in front of the comma appears to lack a few more words surrounding it, e.g. something like “to make *** oil”. Or it may just be superfluous…

Another flaw: Aleena mentions “Sinaflar Flower” (What else is good for a poultice?), but the used plant part is the “Sinaflar Root”.

Jardet Forsill dice: It’s the God of nature. ⇒ Maybe ‘She’s the Goddess of Nature’, as Xiosia’s seen, by followers, like a Mother? Jardet Forsill dice: Despoiling of nature is considered blasphemous and xiosia’s wrath can be mighty. ⇒ Xiosia’s

The default system message for no available quest is incomplete:

>This NPC no quest for you, but might have other things to say.

This NPC has no quest for you, but might have other things to say.

Bladderwrack: “… from other sources(,) it can be…” (IMHO, comma should be added)

White Oak Bark: “… Although fairly common(,) these trees …” (IMHO, comma should be added)

Feverfew: “… well known for it>.<s healing properties…” (Dot should be deleted; “its” meaning “of it” contains no apostroph!)

Threestem fruit: “THis fruit gets it>#<s name from it>#<s …” (Two ortographic apostrophs to be deleted: “its” means “of it”, not “it is”!)

Dandelion Flower: “… versatile plant whose parts …” (Not sure: Does “whose” imply that a person is mentioned?)

Crackerweed Leaf: “… contemplate it>#<s existence” (The same reason as usual.)

Sicklepod Flower: “… identified by it>#<s very odd…” (Ditto.)

Eyebright: “… as for it>.<s mood and …” (Ditto.)

Neave Besetun says: That can be kind of exciting. All right, now you know a lot more than when you first got here, eh? Are you ready for more?

Player says: I am ready

Neave Besetun says: I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand you, or you may have mistyped something…

Player says: yes

Neave Besetun says: Ah well, ready or not, I am sending you off to Ibhaar …

The backs of the some items do not show up, if you look at the back of them they are just a window that looks straight through. It sems to be an always thing (reloging wont fix it). and it tends to be with the larger type of items.

These are the items I have found with the issue:
- Two door closets
- Wooden Shelves (Dark Wooden Shelves are fine)

There might be some more that I have missed (GM only items).

Since this is a texture issue I will bring up the issue of the small tables.
The tops of small tables are also bugged with the top texture having a strange black thing to one end. Rather hard to explain in words.

On svn trunk, npcs do not attack my character back when I attack them, instead they run some script that only turns them to angle 0, as far as I can tell.

On the other hand, they attack back and chase my pet just fine, and kill it every time :’(

I’m pretty sure it is just the svn database/xml files that cause this, I have had this problem with svn for a while, but never on laanx. It would be helpful if it worked, to try test reports like  FS#486 .

If you drop or pick up several potions at once, you see that the plural “s” is appended to the whole name regardless of the sense.

Example: “You dropped # Potion of Healings” (instead of “Potions of Healing”).

Possible solution: Ensure that all names end with the part which should receive the plural (e.g. “Healing potion” instead of “Potion of Healing”); but that won’t be easy for weapons “… of something”.

When hovering over an item in the inventory the tooltip only shows the last character of the item’s name.

Hi

There is no graphic on Dermorian pants, they are invisivbe even after updating. Running Mac OSX 10,6.

The picture says it all:

name says it all
here be pic

confirmed by me, CXDamian and Thom:

only occurs with shadows enabled, though didn’t happen before
gfx cards:
ATI HD 5770 for me, ATI HD 4870 for CXDamian and NVidia GTX260M for Thom

screenshots are by CXDamian, looks very similiar here, though

When switching from launcher to client, when loading a map or moving a little bit in game it often happens that the programme crashes. The following message appears on the screen:
“Something unexpected happened in PlaneShift!
Details: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at 008A43A2”

Most (all?) spell effects are pitch black.
This includes the casting effects, as well as the spell effects.

To reproduce … well … just cast a spell ;)

Original report: Xargon is missing from the tutorial or is some where i cannot see him
Soon after confirmed: several NPCs in tutorial are often gone, furnace as well

Although it even happens more often when teleporting, it is also happening to players just logging in, or entering Tutorial

the topic says everything

Labels are at knee height.

Confirmed by weltall.

Flag for speed hack while running (not-mounted).

First occurance: Ran through the bd cave tunnel, towards underground lake.

Second: ran from ledge of underground lake towards center, across lily pads.

It is extremely difficult to climb the stairs in Brado’s tavern. Tested with most races. CS rev 33179.

There are two ways things crash, I think they are the same:

- teleporting to a player or NPC often crashes
- walking through a map load, and then back causes a crash (at least often)

One of the crashes was at 0054C85D, the other started with 005 as well.
Needs further investigation and a trace.

coming back from dr doesn’t give the dakkru’s curse

Due to a recent change forcing collision detection camera this is release blocker and this problem is afflicting art and engine:
1) collision detection camera uses too much cpu time to be worth it. Some people get significant fps drop.
2) 90% of the geometry shouldn’t collide while this happens
3) the camera bumps continually. passing near a three can cause from 1 to 5 bumps
4) the camera has weird response to scrolwheel caused by the fact there is a virtual camera + real camera concept when using the scrollwheel the virtual camera should work like if it was the real camera, viceversa if it’s not touched the virtual camera must be preserved
5) the dampening speed can be somewhat annoying and innatural at times
6) it allows reverse first person camera in third person
7) it collides on invisible walls
8) in little places the player mesh takes too much screen space
9) proper dampeding option maybe by moving the camera a bit down if it’s too steep? the line of sight.
10) unusable when inside geometry (this isn’t release blocker as it’s a dev only issue when making the world)
11) if the camera is above a building it should be possible to set it to stay there and not go down of 20 mt attached to the player mesh
12) the camera should never be attached to the player mesh: it happens a lot
13) rotating the camera when it’s colliding is strangely slow like if the movement was as slower as much the camera is near the char (i think still the virtual camera behaviour. in this case the camera virtual position should be preserved but the movement should be applied with the real camera position in mind)
… add yours

the bgloader loads everything based on a on-need basis - however as the podium sector isn’t connected to any sector, it’s not considered needed and therefore never loaded resulting in the chardolls not having a background.

EDIT: as it may not be obvious: this only happens while having background loading enabled

Tested with r4824, CS r33234. Occurs on ezpcusa and local server.

WHen teleporting, there are no npcs entities. AFter some time (probably going to another sector and back), they are back again.
Confirmed by Weltall.

Marked release blocker because this possibly also happens with normal players (as noticed by Peeg) and when walking to another map (as I noticed once). THis is not only for NPCs. Also players and objects are not visible after teleporting.

Took shots from various angles so you can better see the problem:

The tutorial icon is invisible with new GUI. Clicking ramdomly makes the tutorial popup appear, so the icon is here, just not visible.
Confirmed by Weltall

If your spouse isn’t online (but has been online recently!) and you try “/marriage divorce bla” a system message tells “[spouse name] is probably dead and you are the widower!”.

If your spouse hasn’t been online for a long time and you try “/marriage divorce bla” the message tells you “[spouse name] is not in Yliakum right now.”

It should be the other way around.

When casting the spells Gem of Clarity and Defensive Wind on yourself, they do not disappear when they should have expired.

Likewise, sometimes Fire Warts was not removed from an enemy and stayed listed under debuffs, even though it was not draining HP anymore.

This means there are a couple of issues:
-The GUI is not properly updated after spell expiration. This affects Defensive Wind and Fire Warts on SVN
-Even after a relog, Defensive Wind remains in the Active Magics window. Fire Warts is gone after a relog.
-In the case of a Crystal Way buff like Gem of Clarity, it seems the (50%) buff is not removed at all if the player remains online. Only after a relog the buff is gone from stats and from the GUI. This is very very likely an issue with the Gem of Clarity script itself in SVN.

So, make the Active Magic window update correctly and that should fix these issues.

The doll in the inventory screen doesn’t show weapons after you equipped them. You have to re-login to make them show up.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Free your hands
2. Equip a weapon
3. The doll doesn’t update
4. Re-Login
5. The doll shows the equipped weapon now

Dequipping weapons updates the doll correctly. Confirmed on current stable and trunk.

It’s very difficult to select day and month with the new GUI in the birth screen when creating a new character. The arrows are not visible:

I found a way to re-produce the dead rotating NPC 90% of the times.
Seems that it happens when NPC-player distance is big, although it sometimes
happens when the distance is small…

It’s simple:
Kill the NPC while it’s far away (I was using BrW - Flying stones range) and make sure it’s
still rotating to face the player when death happens… (seems that its angular velocity doesn’t reset when it happens)

PS: Still can’t reproduce sliding one… Seems kind of random O.o

Test case for NPCclient:
- settime 10 in psserver should make smith walk to his home, disappear, reappear and walk back. THis works.
- when you teleport smith somewhere else (About 100 away for example) and settime 10, he should walk back to his place near the anvil before walking to his house. But in this case he teleports to halfway this spot and his house, and then goes home.

THis is not as it is supposed to be, but may be a minor problem, but just in case this points to a more serious problem, I will raise severity.

Another test case for npcclient:

1- go where there is a follower fighter npc and teleport it in your place (/teleport mobname/pid/whatewer me)
2- with another char (eg: player so it’s for sure with the right flags set) abbroach the teleported npc
3- see the npc vanish in the air
4- look the original place of the npc it’s there and it’s approaching the player char

According to the npcclient test cases, the npclist command should show unchangeable data in bold. On windows in a command window, this is not the case :).
Also the information indicated in the test that should be shown is not up to date.
Data for smith should show
213783 5 10001 Smith Entity Alive smith
but it also shows
‘do nothing 1 (none) (None) No.

The last seems about debug, but description seems wrong (’debug disabled’ is yes when enabled)

Part of fixing this bug is fixing the test case, but maybe the bold part and the ‘debug disabled’ description are wrong.

I cannot test this on linux (my server cannot handle npcclient :) ).

First pre-requisite test:
- target questmaster2
- say ‘quest2’ Expected result: error response, because prerequisite that quest1 is finished is not fullfilled.
But you just get the quest.

Marking as flash, as this should not happen and I was so hoping there were no quest bugs :)

Regression test. When targetting an item and doing /attack, it should tell you you cannot attack the item. However, when trying to attack the treasure map, it says:
“Treasure map is already dead”

Tested on trunk with vengeance (casting) and acraig (victim) characters. Not as important as I first thought (not being able to cast at all). WHen you try to cast gust of wind or fire warts, it says you cannot do that because you can only cast it on living monsters, or living people. After challenging (and acraig excepting), you can cast it. SO only the message for these area spells is wrong.

Doing some tests near the magic shops, there are some strange effects:

- when in hybdr2, create rain
- in 3d person view, walk backwards into magicshopout
- when camera is in the portal, but the char is still in the map, the rain is gone
- when char leaves hybdr2, rain re-appears.

Doing the tests that ask for hyoja02 (which is wrong, since oja moved, so please change that too. ANd remove duplicate tests please):
- create dense colored fog (/fog here 2000 200 200 0 0 f.e.) in hybdr2.
- walk back to magicshopout. For best effect, walk backwards. You will see the colored fog disappear, but also the whole forest in hybdr2. It seems that the new fog clips landscape (wow, I will go test this agains lag immediately :) ), even when the fog is not correctly displayed
- repeat the same with lighter fog (200 or so) and notice that it also disappears, but clipping is for larger distance.

/thunder does not work in NPCroom1 and hybdr2 (both part of tests). It works well in hydlaa_plaza

Test on svn server (my own and other):
- target dictmaster1
- say “give me baldwind” (Test that WordNet will find an inherited hypernym that is a legal trigger keyword.)
- Verify response “You asked for apple”

This fails. You get the ‘you are speaking strangely” response.

- say “give me pear” (For this NPC the the first legal generalization of pear is fruit.)
- Verify response “I have the following fruits: apple, orange”

This fails. You get the ‘you are speaking strangely” response.

Not clear how important this is, but I could imagine that npc responses would be better if this worked :)

I think this belongs under settings, and may just be some installation issue, although this happened on 2 servers, and ‘hello’ is translated to greetings correctly.

According to the test, the sound should stop when the game window is no longer in focus. But rain, background music and birds just continue. At least on windows (and possibly in linux with beryl 3d accelerated window manager, as mentioned once by Vornne).
Minimizing does stop the sound.

Test:
Do /rain NPCroom 200 10000 2000
After 10 seconds it should fade out during 2 seconds. However, it stops very abruptly. The strangest thing: if you do /rain NPCroom 200 10000 0, it will fade out during about 2 seconds.

-Click the A button or press “t”.
-You can add text.
-As long as you validly add text, you can keep on doing this to infinity. It just works.
-But, if you click OK while having *no* text or when you just click Cancel, you can’t add text anymore. The button and the key don’t work anymore. You have to close/reopen the sketch for it to work again. This is annoying behaviour.

if 2 gms are working in the petition manage window and both have it up, one escalates a petition not always will the other see this change, same applies to descalate.

Doing regression tests, there were some problems with pets. SInce they happened during a mix of the tests, I will combine some in this single report, since some of the problems may be related. Feel free to ask me to split this up.
ALl tests with latest trunk. Using Vengeance GM char as pet owner (with item of create familiar equiped) and acraig as spectator.

1. created pet, changed name (see  bug 776 ). Pet (Rogue) was visible to Venge and acraig. All seemed ok

2. ALthough not having tested instances yet, I did do the following test:
I /teleported map NPCroom1 -60 10 -227 1. After unsticking (may be different bug :) ), I was on the ground in instance 1. I did no longer see the pet where it was (nor did I see acraig). Acraig still saw the pet.

3. /pet summon gave the message that pet was already summoned. /pet dismiss made the pet disappear (to acraig). /pet summon made it appear, not only in instance 1, at owners location, but also in the previous spot in instance 0, visible to acraig!

4. Pet did not follow in instance 1, when typeing /pet follow (but that may be normal, see later follow tests).

5. Teleported Venge to acraig (instance 0), but could not see the pet in VEnges client. Another /pet dismiss and /pet summon and pet reappears for Venge, but acraig still only sees old version (clickable, but no buttons).

6. /pet follow in the npcclient window showed a message “1552225) FAMILIAR:Rogue (53)> Got OwnerCmd 0 Perception from Vengeance IsMine for Sparky”, but nothing happened. Behaviour of the pet was sometimes shown to be ‘do nothing’

6 After some /pet follow tests, Venge did not see the pet anymore. I found it teleported to probably a spawnspot. Funny thing, acraig saw it there too (so acraig saw 2 pets now)!

7. all this time, the pet never followed. But trying when it was at the spawn spot, it worked! /pet follow made the pet walk to venge. In npcclient window, it showed the behaviour changed to ‘follow’. But as soon as the pet was at Venges spot, it stopped and behaviour changed to ‘do nothing’ again. So walking away, the pet does not follow!!

So to summarize:
- when summoning a pet to different instance, it is still visible at old spot (and will stay there). This may be a similar problem as the one causing ghost pets
- /pet follow sometimes makes a pet ‘teleport’ itself to another place
- /pet follow often does not do anything
- /pet follow when it works, only stays active until pet reaches owner

There are old pet bug reports, which may cover part of these problems. Specifically on pet follow, please also have a look at http://www.hydlaa.com/bugtracker/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1578&pos=3

No pet category, so putting under NPC. Set high priority as this is a failing regression test with impact on game play, but feel free to correct me on that :)
