I made barberry extract and ended up making batch of valuable barberry extract. Seeing as barberry extract is not a finished product but an ingredient it should not receive any special properties from crafting.

When showing Levrus the Bronze Bands you can ask him to remove the magic, but when you return them to Nalri there are only options to say “You must see Levrus, he will remove the magic” Or “If you stay away from the objects, it will go away”

PlaneShift Loyal Fan achievements regarding previous versions from “Played Atomic Blue” to “Played Arcane Chrysalis” I reckon should be account wide.

I created my account during Crystal Blue, but felt like playing a different character later meaning my main has none of these achievements.

It’s like a veteran status, but only applies if you kept your first character.

There is an optional arm of the quest, that requires cooking skill to be at 50, when the quest itself only requires 10 skill in cooking to claim.

If you choose to go for the optional part of the quest, you delay getting the next book after Meat and Stew Recipes, so training those 40 ranks to make Cheesy Succulent stew takes ages.

Just a Quality of life improvement due to the current setting conflict between weapons that must be equipped to provide a stat bonus and the IC issue with holding weapons in a city. The implementation of this should be a command of /Sheath and /Draw on execution of /Sheath any weapons carried by the player will be re positioned to the characters back or belt and appear to be sheathed. When sheathed the weapons will still be present in the players equipment slots and continue to provide any stat bonuses or other magical effects however the city guards will no longer react to characters as though they have weapons drawn.

/Draw returns all sheathed weapons to the players hand

being attacked or entering combat stance will automatically Draw any sheathed weapons

Quality of life improvement. Please implement arrow tracking and recovery. NPC’s should should have a counter to track how many arrows they have been hit with. When the creature is looted there will be a dice roll to to determine the percentage of arrows that survived intact these arrows will be added to the creatures loot allowing the bowman to recover unbroken arrows from the corpse.

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

legacy allowed to discard repeatable quests

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.

If you try to equip an item from a container into an invalid slot, the item becomes invisible till you reopen the container.

While running parts of the hair seem to bob up and down without being attached to the rest of the hair, more noticeable while sprinting

NPC talk is not logged to chat logfile. The only things which gets logged is what I type into the free-form-box

On some player created books, the text is misaligned, particularly on higher page counts. Sometimes the text overlaps the page number at the bottom, and if “-” is use as a divider, it runs off the page to the right rather than wrapping like the rest of the text.

Add a better way to search for icons. clicking through each individual icon in a long list is fairly annoying for some of the larger categories, and there are several icons that are blank so it’s not always clear there are more icons after that. Being able to see more than one icon at a time/being able to filter by name or type (ways for magic, weapon types for weapons, tools, music, decorations etc.) or having more categories with shorter lists would also be helpful.

For some reason the buddies list uses a different font than all the other lists. I find it quite hard to read.

In addition to that the text color is red on a brown-greyish background. That makes it even harder to read.

I suggest using the same font and color as in the other lists.

Would be nice to be able to save the contents of an editable book into a local file on the client computer like it was possible in Crystalspace based PSUnreal.

Low priority as it is also possible to cut&paste contents. However for longer books it would still be nice to be able to edit them in a local text editor and then load them again into PSUnreal.

when you kill merceneries some seems to stand up and dont despawn from some times so the new respawn stand into the standing corpse.
on attack the corpse is shown with some health so when they moce the bodies you switch kinda targets whatever model you target.
Also it can happen that on respawn the merc. will get invisible.

items inside the mail window have no weight/quality/size.

Steps to reproduce:
1. go to a fast travel npc and click on mail
2. click on write mail tab
3. place item(s)/coin(s) in the mail window
4. hover over items

persists in received and sent tabs as well. You can send mail to yourself to test.

If you have your inventory window on the right and hover over an item, the information display scrolls off the visible screen.

can you please change it so it aligns to the edge of the visible screen.

in other words, make it so the information shown while hovering over an item is always showing on the visible screen only

Currently when doing a task that requires a time duration, a status bar appears on the left of the view screen that we are unable to move or resize

When attempting to attack with the hand a torch is equipped in.
the error message is “You have no weapons equipped!”

A more accurate Error message could be

You cannot attack with this item

or

You should not attack with this delicate item

— side note, nice to see meele working while holding a torch now.

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

When Migrate to unreal planeshift 9.0 or 1.0 or etc

start a testing server. gets a data base copy of current unreal stable.

could also be used to experiment with balance or skill changes in the future.

now that we have the lake populated with plants and some fishes. i am making a proposal for a kelp bed, seaweed bed, the long bladderwrack that we have in small amounts dotted around, and an area that has algae floating on the surface, with a surround to keep it in the one place. the kelp, and bladderwrack, should be harvestable for nolthrir trading to places that cook, or even to traders (both wandering and in cities)

also i propose a village within the area of the central island, that is on land as well as within the water. the design of the village should look like either a coral reef or large shells. close to the island, there should also be a cave system which i am working on a quest for, and some new monsters for that particular cave system. the caves should really be extensive so that navigation is not easy.

In PS Legacy, when selecting an amount from a stack of items, the slider would “remember” what the previous amount was. This would be useful in PS Unreal for subdividing stacks for crafting, especially since /equip /dequip are not currently ported to PS Unreal (which was the other common way of subdividing stacks for crafting).

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.

When looting a monster, it’s possible to stand close enough to open the loot window but too far away to actually loot the monster. If you open the loot window while standing too far away, it will appear empty even if there are items there. If you move close enough to loot the monster and click “loot all”, you are able to loot the items even though they do not appear in the loot window. If you close the loot window, move closer, and reopen the loot window, the items appear.

Talad’s Note: move the open window from win_interactUI to the PlayerController receiveloot message, so it opens only if there is loot.

Dragging a glyph from an inventory container (e.g. sack or glyph sack) into any slot in Spell Research window causes the glyph to disappear from the container until window is re-opened.

Steps:

- Open Spell Research window from “spellbook”.

- Open glyph sack and drag glyph into any slot in Spell Research window. (Try to use Research or Way slots. Purify Glyph slot only reproducible if right hand has item equipped.)

- Glyph seems to have disappeared from container, but will reappear if window is refreshed.

Additional info:
Dragging glyph from glyph sack on the ground to Spell Research slots puts it into inventory.
Moving a glyph from inventory into Purify Glyph slot equips the glyph in right hand but does not begin purification.
(Not sure if these features are conflicting with spell research.)

Several area of effect spells (Healing rain, dazzling light, icy ground, tire, probably others) send multiple system messages based on the number of targets affected. For example, with healing rain “You call forth healing rain” is sent 4 times if 4 targets are affected, 8 times if 8 targets are affected.

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.

Font size in settings for “Speak with NPC Text” or “NPC Response Text” cannot be changed.

having tested one fix, i decided to check if i am able to climb out of the hole on the other side of the road into the desert at the rear of oja. i managed to get to /pos 566110.25 -393981.34 10081.11 where it then becomes too steep to continue the climb out.

When mounted after pressing the space bar it takes about half an second or so before the jump actually happens.

When not mounted the jump is immediate.

the signpost that is supposed to point to the derghir village is floating in the air in ojaroad 1

it is also not pointing in the correct direction.

there are a couple of sign posts that stand together and are floating high enough to crawl under them at

the tail actually comes out and back into the wall.

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.

tavern de kadel has 3 npc’s stuck in the doorway to the kitchen, on the inside. pathing needs adapting so they leave to go where they are supposed to be

In Crystalspace based PlaneShift it posted to group chat.

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.

Missing slot identification text in inventory window when mousing over the icons surrounding character avatars. Some icons cannot be seen well enough to know what can be slotted.

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.

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.

i have been checking this spawn point for chests for a while. when last update was completed i cleared the adorned crates from the area, which numbered 3 in the stack. today after a check i find another 3 stacked neatly with no offline looking chest suggesting a player moved them. i believe these chests are spawning too high and thus we get a repeat spawning until they appear at the spawn point.
