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.

The four Onyx Dagger members who share the hall with two Grendols do not respawn once killed.

While preparing Terevan Berry Wine Saauce (as part of Octarch’s Delight) The “Prepare” button picks either mortar and pestle as the container to be used or the wooden bowl, depending on where my character is standing (in Reffitia’s Kitchen).

Both are too small to hold all items that are needed to combine “Unmixed Terevan Berry Wine Sauce”. Maybe container size should be a criterion more than distance.

From forum thread http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=32393.0

In normal duels you can decide whether to kill your opponent or not, leaving him with 1 HP. However, in a guild war this is not the case, in a guild war you can only fight to the death. Make it so that fighters in a guild war have the possibility to spare an opponent. This could be done by creating an option when starting a guild war: lethal war or non-lethal where the fighters can decide to spare an opponent or not.

if an npc synonym occurs in a quest trigger, it'll break that trigger because incoming messages will be replaced by the more_general value while the trigger still expects synonym.
therefore the quest parser should refuse such quests as they're obviously broken or at least throw a warning about such occurrences.

As per this document:

http://planeshift.ezpcusa.com/pswiki/index.php?title=Sound_System#Sounds_in_factories

the creature sounds are not working properly in game today.

The common.xml file is properly read, and the resources are properly loaded, but the only state ID which works consistently is state ID 2: charge.

Idle seems to kick in only after attacks, and anyway not consistently. The others are never launched. The problem is that those events are not properly sent to the client a sound events.

In particular we need the following events: IDLE, CHARGE (when first engages in combat), COMBAT IDLE, ATTACK, (being) HIT, DIE, WALK, RUN.

It has been brought to my attention that friendly AoE spells can be used to detect invisible GMs who are within the range of the spell. A check on spells cast from accounts with 0 security could be added that only allows friendly spells to be cast on targets which are ‘visible’ hereby preventing GMs from being targeted when invisible.

When a male nolthrir is mounted on a rivnak his legs stick into the rivnak.

the inscription reads that “Talad may bless the souls” this implies that he also may not. “May Talad bless” or simply “Talad bless” would be a plea for his intercession. “Talad blesses” would be an affirmation to the reader that they are indeed blessed by Talad whether or not it is actually true.

As the title suggests you continue to get the system message you have gained practice when using a skill despite your practice level not actually increasing.

As the title suggests if you add a name like;

Venalan

And you then edit this to say

Venalan “dev”

When you load the client next time around the " will have broken the aliases_name.xml file so none of the added name notes will show. It is because you end up with the following in the xml file

<alias name=”Venalan” alias=”Venalan “Dev”” />

the extra [dev”“] is an unknown component of the <alias /> so breaks the whole formatting of the file.

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.

When you equip an item with “BOTH HANDS” flag an icon appears in only the left or right hand inventory slot, whichever you dropped it in.

As the weapon takes up both ‘LEFT’ and ‘RIGHT’ hands it would be clearer if the same icon appeared in both hands to make it clear that both hands are taken up by one item.

It should also be possible to deequip it from the icon in either hand.

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 :)

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)

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

From Post by apyj13 inhttp://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=41889.msg473672#msg473672 “would it be possible to add a quality “tooltip” on hover so you don’t have to right click on an item when it’s in your inventory to see what quality it is, or perhaps a small number in the corner (similar to what is done with the quantity)?”

Also is it possible to make the numbers for quantity/quality in item slots customisable from skin xmls.

As the title suggests, when you change the button height with width set to ‘auto’ I would expect the button width to scale with it. It does not. If you change the width setting from auto→manual→auto the correct width is set.

Potentially related

It is possible that when names appear the window correctly resizes and the full name is shown. But when you move back to images only the width is set to the minimum so you end up with very tall very thin buttons. But the icons have the dimensions you would expect for button height set to max so you can only see the central portion of the icon.

I can make this happen by following these steps.

1 - Button height to minimum
2 - button width to manual (and moved to minimum)
3 - button width to auto
4 - set button height to max
5 - button/icon width is fixed and when you change name↔icon you get the broken display

If you don’t follow these steps the width for change between icons and names works correctly

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.

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…

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I think its a thunder clakcer

Once you’ve maxed your stats, currently there’s no more use for progression points/XP. It’s just an endless counter going up and up and up.

How about:

• adding PP prices to the money you have to pay in special attack quests? (”Sorry, but you don’t have enough experience to learn this, come back later and I’ll show you how it’s done.”)
• having to pay in PP more than in Tria for the temporary knowledge bonuses?
• consuming progression points if you craft something with a special modifier (and in turn only allowing you to do so if you have some to spare)?
• add more temporary buffs (for example for stats or more directly as bonus HP/MP, increased HP/MP regeneration) that are paid for only in PP or with much lower tria costs.

I am aware that it probably requires quite some additions to the quest scripting and other places and is by no means a trivial change, but I thought it may add to the medium- to long-term development deliberations. To me progression points feel like a loose end, now that they lost their purpose in skill training.

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

There appear to be some missing textures (or they are backwards as there appear to be some invisible walls around the entire structure) here:

When I walk forward using W, I need to use mouse-look to turn around while walking. Walking a winding stair, I need to keep turning and turning while walking … until suddenly the mouse pointer left the game window. (Running the game in Windowed mode.)

The mouse pointer should not move in the game window while I press a mouse key to look around.

no task description

In a quest paying a NPC through a dialog box while having no money results in the following message: "<npc> does not need that".
That seems wrong.

The currently used texture “chest.dds” does not match the UV map of the model for the “Chest” item (animated chest, repeatedly opening and closing).

None of the present textures are compatible to this model.

Either create a matching texture, or replace the model by a supported one.

I must say that this quest is quite disappointing. After a promising and very good beginning the whole story is cut short in an odd way. I think the plot would deserve some development as the beginning is really good.

The message presented when looting a dead NPC with nothing to loot is “… has nothing to be looted”.
While this is valid English, it is more natural to say “… has nothing to loot”.

It’s stupid to not be able to trade (through right clicking the character and clicking ‘trade’) while over encumbered (having to sit down because you’re too heavy). But yet you can just make a shortcut or type /trade and it works.

So my point is, why?

(note: if this task has already been posted and discussed, I did search ‘Trade’ and ‘Trading’)

The leaver leg armor and appentice robes on Enkidukai clamod isn’t working. this might be the same for all enkidukai’s.

it would be nice for bards if they had hats where passers-by could throw some tria in. The hat item would serve as a money container as well as a piece of clothing. The advantages to just throwing tria on the ground are that people can’t just steal the money and it would look nicer.

Client recieves plain text data regarding many things configuration:

<traits><trait id=”10” next=”0” loc=”FACE” mesh=”308” mat=”321” tex=”322” shader=”“/><trait id=”346” next=”0” loc=”HAIR_STYLE” mesh=”328” mat=”0” tex=”0” shader=”0.63,0.32,0.17”/><trait id=”382” next=”0” loc=”HAIR_COLOR” mesh=”0” mat=”0” tex=”0” shader=”0.52,0.45,0.17”/></traits>

It would be better to handle the data this way:
compressed server side
stored compressed
sent compressed
client recieves compressed
client decompresses uses and stores on disk.

compared:
plain text - 1,1k
tar.gz - 0,4-0,5k

It happens for me always again after “opening” and closing nodes. Sorry, haven’t found a way yet to reproduce it every time. Might add some more information here once I find out more ;)

It dispalys the newly opened node above a previously already opened one.

GMail uses the + to denote email aliases: foo+bar@gmail.com delivers to the same GMail inbox as foo@gmail.com. The PS validation system rejects the + character client side, although it is permitted by the RFCs (see RFC5322 s3.2.3/3.4.1). The easy fix is to be much more liberal on the client about what is allowed in an email address, since we’ll be emailing a validation code to it anyway.

As the daytime progresses, each few minutes you see the shadows on the floor flashing, especially obvious near the Laanx temple and on the plaza.

It looks like the shadowmap is completely removed, then restored with a tiny delay. Might be necessary to display shadow states of different daytimes?

At least it is a lot less annoying than the repeated switching between several shadowmaps in earlier versions.

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.
