I opened
planeshift/data/gui/scripthirednpcwindow.xml and got the mesage at my browser.
At Line 4 is savepositions=”yes” twice listed.

Logging out after a longer time of idling, one would expect to login with full health later. But I noticed that my health is a little lower and starts regenerating after I logged in. This is especially obvious for characters with not yet maxed stats, appears to be a relative impact.

I wonder if this is caused by buffing armor parts, e.g. Ulbernaut Bracers (+8 Strength, boosting HP too, indirectly). I could imagine that the max. HP are calculated without buffs, and the current health gets limited to this lower maximum (lower than while logging out previously); then the engine loads armor parts after logging in and has to update the HP maximum, which is now higher with buffs, and the current HP get a headroom to fill up.

when i start atack enemy that is little away and before i see message he is too away switch (with shortcuts /target nearest /atack) to nearest im in combat mode but dont see any system mesages and not doing any hits- it happend in other situacions too but that i know how to reproduce

its worse to aim enemy , i often see ‘you are to away’ in first try and without move next attack hit enemy correctly

with dummy targeted
/pet target
/pet attack

from longer distance pet fail to attack dummy, it hit arena wall and dissaper
from very short it attack and start rotating.

I would really like to loot food ingredients that cannot be gotten another way and not have to loot apples. If I want apples I can /harvest or /pickup them. with this change I could add food to my /loot shortcut and not miss out on lard or meat. I don’t think there is another lootable foodstuff that has multiple kinds of sources.

If you delete everything in the boxes and click the save button, the commands are back after relog.
It seems there must be at least one character in the box to get it saved.

• I was playing my pan flute.
• I swapped the pan flute against my plat steel sabre.
• I stopped the playback.
• I fought.
• I wanted to reequip my pan flute, but it could not be moved, not even from one inventory slot to the other.

I suspect that there is no test for (music instruments/)items being in use when swapping them

Hi
I seem to have a glytch where frequently (but not always) an NPC will not talk to me no matter how long I wait
However if I click “Bye” and try again he will now talk
It means I have to click every NPC when he wont speak to me twice to be sure there is no dialogue

  The player would define a starting state, a series of "qualifiers" controlling a custom menu of "actions" that may be taken on the object.
  Qualifiers could check attributes, skills, possession of an item, or internal counters.
  Each action could execute one or more commands, for example /shout, /say, or /tell to the person who acted on it, or update its description or internal counters.
  All descriptions and internal counters would be shared to all clients within range as well as persist.

Even with the recent improvement of the spell research behaviour, I think it is a bit tedious to find spells with 3 glyph combinations or spells with 2 glyphs of 2 different ways.

I propose that the glyph order doesn’t matter in the assemble slots.

Wouldn’t it also be more logical if the glyph order doesn’t matter?

This is a collection of Combat System bugs

I noted that previous bug report 4573, similar in nature, has been closed. I reached out to GMs and it was confirmed that once a broadsword has been furrowed into a blade then the only option is to then make it into a kit. The flow as of 04/04/2015 looks like stock>alpha>beta>delta>brittle>dull>rough>blade (gap) heated>super>red>stock.

If the expected results of working broadswords is to have them be a one time blade, then these extra steps (heated>super>red>stock) are confusing. If the expected results is that the broadsword should be able to be worked from stocks to blade to stocks then currently the step to make the (final) blade into a heated blade is missing.

Having to use the Working with Stock book simply to heat steel/ingots for forging makes for a silly amount of swapping back and forth between Working with Stock and Book of Blades. It’d be simple enough to add the steps for heating stock and ingots to the Book of Blades…

Weapon types that I’d find useful in RP and could be more-or-less stood in for with existing art, but aren’t statted/craftable:

• Rapiers/some sort of thin thrusting sword – this could use a longsword model for now until we get a proper rapier model in (I might make a low-fi rapier model if I get motivated enough to dust off Blender, even…)
• Spears (and perhaps other polearm forms) – these can use the quarterstaff model until a proper model is implemented for them

Kran Walking is slightly asymmetrical, as though they were afflicted with scoliosis and weren’t treated completely.

Ignore, of course, if new models lack this trait.

Items that are picked up should go into the upper-left most container in our inventory that it can fit into. This will allow players to choose the order they want their inventory to fill up. When my main inventory is full, items start going into my glyph sack instead of the four empty small cloth sacks available. Thank you for your time :)

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…

During fight using ranged weapons if the player is attacking a mob but doesn’t face them the arrows are still used but no attack is led and the message about facing the target is shown.

Sometimes attacking with ranged weapons cause the showing of the facing target message and the attacks are not dealt even when the target is near and straight before the player (the arrows are consumed as well).

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.

I recently wanted to create a shortcut to summon my Rivnak, but it doesn’t work exactly like it should…Here are the commands of my shortcut :

/dequip leftfinger
/equip Ring of Summon Familiar
/pet summon Bigadin
/dequip leftfinger
/equip Crystal Ring

Of course, using the commands one by one in the chat works perfectly. But here is the chat log after using the shortcut :

Usage: /equip [stack count] [slot] [item name]
You feel a connection to your familiar.
You’ve gained 1 Practice points in Empathy.

Weirdly, it seems that when the last line is executed, my ring is still considered equipped, and so it cannot be equipped. I thought that with another item which exist in several copies, it would work through equipping another copy, but even that do not work. I tried using it with 2 Silver Rings in my inventory (so the line /equip Crystal Ring become /equip Silver Ring), and both when the quality is the same and when it is not (and so it doesn’t stack) :

You feel a connection to your familiar.
You’ve gained 1 Practice points in Empathy.
This item cannot be equipped.

I hope the informations are sufficient to allow you to understand and solve the problem.

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!”

This is actually for version 0.6.5.

When I craft Small Battle Axes I find that all skill gains are in Blades, Blacksmithing, and Mace making. I feel that somehow the skill gains for Axe making have been replaced by Mace making. That makes it harder to build up axe skill to turn the kits into a finished axe.

Axe handles need changed to blades making

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.

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.

Banded Mail Armor stores in MA category, trains MA but the description reads HeavyArmor under the weight/size/quality. So can we get it changed to read MA please.

I’ve completed the child quest that looks for the Boss around Gugrontid, but Sapling of Xiosia hasn’t completed as well.

The book shows

Powdered [Raw Material]
Grind [Raw Material] into Powdered [Raw Material] using Alchemist Table with Wooden Mallet
Hammer [Raw Material] into 3 Big Chunks of [Raw Material] using Alchemist Table with Wooden Mallet

Both using Alchemist Table with Wooden Mallet
When only the 3 big chunks is correct

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”

In the CC tab it says “Xiosa talks to you through nature,” Xiosa should be Xiosia.

Magic Staves, like the Staff of Empathy/Aurora are always blocked unless they miss.

I’m not sure which weapon skill they use, but they are even blocked by dummies

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.

The are for harvesting Blue Cohosh Root is so small that you need absolute precision to harvest a second time, without “You cannot harvest in the same place twice in a row”.

It’s possible but takes longer to find the right spot, the area needs to be bigger.

When opening a chest, sometimes it will say “you find some ingot”, but give you none.

Seen it on Reinforced chest, sure I saw it on a different chest before as well.

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.

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.

When I jump near an NPC my character tries to climb on top of it and then falls thru the NPC. I’m guessing it should not be possible to climb on NPCs.. although it would be fun :D

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

There seems to be a problem with how incoming damage is being handled when casting spells in combat. The primary issue appears to be a glitch when casting a offensive spell where the player will loose their combat stance and be treated as out of combat which this seems to have the (hopefully)unintended effect of allowing incoming damage to bypass the players defenses completely any skills / abilities to reduce the damage and even seeming to nullify the effects of the players armor allowing creatures to directly deal massive hits directly to the players hp similar to if they were completely unarmed and unarmored. The result can a normally harmless enemy suddenly dealing critical damage and causing instantaneous death depending on the situation.

Expected behavior would be to not allow melee attacks during spell casting however the player should remain in the selected combat stance to ensure that armor and evasion occurs properly and melee attacks may be automatically resumed after the casting completes.

If the player attempts to open a locked chest by dragging it to their equipment panel. The game displays a message that the chest is locked but consumes the item anyway providing now loot. Expected behavior is that the game places the locked chest back into the players inventory or prevents them from consuming it if it is locked

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

at the job bar tab is no scrollbar available,for some its there only if they max out the size of the window

Redo quest/events implementation to send/receive, also remove XML.

Names of signs appear at the bottom.

all potions I tested results in a diamond crystal icon in the active effects bar.
