PlaneShift

Every time I unmount and mount again it adds another about 90 degrees so that after four times the char sits on the mount in almost correct orientation again.

Tested on Rivnak and Drifter.

However after dismissing a pet and summoning it again once after logging in, the sitting position keeps locked. But only if the character mounted it once before dismissing the pet for the first time.

So or so there is something off with the sitting position of the char on a mount after the first unmount and mount again cycle.

# Expected result

Character always sits on the mount in correct orientation.

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.

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

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 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.

Damola looks at the Pterosaur at the Pterosaur handler in Amdeneir and feels sadness.

She thinks: “Oh, my where have those grand Pterosaur from the old days in Yliakum have gone?”

Roleplay aside: I really preferred the old look of the Pterosaur with spread out wings. The smaller PSUnreal pterosaur does not look like it can carry a large Kran.

Chat for the alliance chat tab goes to the main tab.

Messages to the help channel get lost, as if they were never written

So I was trying to smelt and cast iron but the metallurgy does not level up. Same with zink. The book “working with stock” only tell me how to smelt quicksilver, which does not even work at my level. Currently on metallurgy level 2.

Quest: The Arrivals
Entering and completing the lava cave isn’t recognized by Raithen. I’ve been there twice, but only used the exit once after crossing the magic stones.

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

I sat Damola down on a char in Kada El. I held “Z” key for that, cause tapping did not work for the char I was aiming at.

Damola sat down. However she stood up every now and then, I think it was for idle animation.

Requesting where we type in the chat window scales with the rest of the window.

We can select a larger font, but where we type in the chat window does not change, only the rest of the chat window.

Note: There is a huge difference between font size 4 and 5. Suggest to have something in between if at all possible.

On my character Mewshad: 90 AGI, 75 CHA, 154 END, 55 INT, 100 STR, 90 WIL at 13 lvl in Sword. At every attack, I gain 1 point of practice on the training dummy. This means I need to click 200 times to get to the next level. I also tried to do the “special attack” but same there. I think Endurance and Strength is the reason since before I increased these attribute, sword leveling was faster.

In addition to bug FS#7859 there is another scrolling bug.

PSUnreal scrolls down during chat, but on multi line messages it does seem to forget about the last line of the message. It scrolls down towards the second last line of the message.

When moving items into bags or around within a container it can instead be dropped onto the floor or wall where the mouse cursor landed.

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

After a long delay falling outside the map, I am teleported to Levrus or left permanently falling outside the map till I /die.

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.

On Skill window, add a button to drop the selected skill, with a Yes / No confirmation.

This would execute the equivalent of “/setskill me <skill name> 0” (or something close to that) removing all training, practice, rank, etc.

Would do nothing on stats / factions tabs.

This would allow players to remove skills they’re no longer interested in, don’t fit the character they’re developing, deprecated skills, not-yet-implemented skills, or skills acquired from the character generator that the player considers extraneous or unnecessary.

No compensation should be given for the lost ranks, practice, etc. and that should be stated in the confirmation dialog, along with a clear advisory that the action is permanent and irreversible.

Unless we’ve sweet talked a GM into doing it for us, we often have extra skills with a rank of 1 or 2 that we may have inadvertently trained or practiced and they clutter up the list view of skills, as they’re not suppressed by the Filter feature.

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 could have sworn when I created my Ylian character in legacy it had a dark beard, it shows up with a dark beard in legacy; in unreal the character’s beard shows up as blonde. Seemed peculiar

affected version: 0.7.38 (couldn’t be set yet as the version)

When trying to drop an item on an occupied container slot, the item remains “in limbo”, i.e. nothing happens.

This affects crafting severly:
Shift-clicking a stack placed into a container, you have always been able to “fan out” stacks of items in containers for crafting processes that would individually change quality (thereby averaging the random factor of the process).
This is no longer possible.

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

There are reports of spells that don’t have any effect anymore (neither on you or on enemies)

Known are
- meteor
- missile shower
- dazling light
- flame burst

When the GSoC was successful enhancing the tribe code, it could be interesting to create one or two of Kormi which try to avoid approaching players but stay together.

That may require organising a witch hunt / drive hunt as strategy, which may support grouped activities.

A book is saved on the local disk with the custom title entered while writing its content. This is very inconvenient if the book has a quite verbose title, then the filename is just as verbose, and if you want to load this text into a copy of this book, you need to type exactly the same book title into the loading filename dialog. Or you need to know where books are located outside the game and rename the saved file there.

I'd like to be able to specify a brief filename to save a book to. The filename dialog may be pre-filled with the suggested filename based on the book title, but I'd like to change it before saving, if desired.

An "Undo" button on the new music writer that could go back at least one step would be very helpful. Thanks!!

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.

If I have no weapons while in battle and I take out swords, I continue fighting with no weapons. If I stop attacking and then start again, the swords get used.

while speaking with an advisor eariler today he had instructed my to come to the bugtracker here, but had made a typo in the link pointing me to “http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/flypray” which I had cought and corrected before coming here. As it stands, I’m very familiar with FlySpray from working on other projects so the typo was trivial for me, but other players might not be so keen. I think an easy way of “fixing” the issue of typos for common resources would be to allow Advisors to have encapsulated snippets containing the links. a few examples would be;

(fs) would be replaced with http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray

(forums) would be replaced with http://www.planeshift.it/forums.html

(guide) would be point to http://www.planeshift.it/quickstart.html

Etc, Etc..

I don’t know exactly what languages the PlaneShift client/server uses, but if it uses Python this would be a fairly trivial addition.

With a plenty of crafted and looted weapons and armor around, there is a need for some basic identification service running by NPC (e.g. Levrus).

To make a ground for an business and relations between real players, NPC identification service should be:

1) expensive
2) less than 100% successful (how about 75%?)
3) limited by item quality / price

/put [amount] item
Into a opened container even when non selected for like sacks that are in your inventory.

/take [amount|all] [stack] [item]
Out of a opened container even when non selected for like sacks that are in your inventory.

/loot [group] [item|all|trias]
Loot a specific item or all items without opening the loot window.

Currently, all crafting requires a full setup of equipment (fixed-in-the-world crafting containers) for that craft. This makes sense for some crafting skills such as blacksmithing and to an extent alchemy; however, basic cooking and herbalism (and other crafts TBD) should be possible with only portable crafting containers (such as a campfire and pan or a simple, portable mortar and pestle). This would also require new crafting books: “Campfire Recipes” anyone?

Since you can set the sharps and flats for the overall piece of music, you should be able to insert naturals. Otherwise, if you need to cancel one of the sharps/flats for the key you are using anywhere in the music, your only alternative is to write in all the sharps and flats throughout by hand.

I think it would be a great feature to make a new type of NPC quests on working title "Skill quests".
It would work similar to the current quests are being developed, so you can get repeatable quests from NPCs regarding to your current skill levels, like cooking/baking quests from Harnquist.

These skill quests would repeat daily (or in any other considered time periods) and crafters could pick orders up from their trainers or other NPCs.
NPC places an order on crafting a certain item that player need to craft and would get huge amount of SKILL PRACTICE as reward for fulfilling the order.

It wouldn't touch the current skill progression system, so someone could 'grind' a skill if they wish to do that.
But we all know, how slow it is now to progress in any crafting skill.

See an example:
The rule settings team think, someone has spent 3 months with developing their blades making skill, should be at level 100 in blades making without grinding.
If a player would play regulary and come back on 60 days, and does the skill quests from NPC, they would get enough skill practice to reach level 100.

Let's say the next level of the skill would take 2 hours of mindless grinding.
But if the player would come back regulary and would do the skill quest, they could reach the same level with making (let's say) 3 products for order.
The items to be crafted would also be different, regarding to the skill level of the player and what items are craftable in the skill.
So, a player would be asked to make a sabre, a falchion, an axe or a shortsword for example.

The advantage of the extended system would be:
- rule settings developers could define a minimum time within someone should reach a certain level in their skill
- the players wouldn't need to grind all playing time spent in PS to reach their skill levels, so they could role play more or work on other skills
- the players would come back more regulary to develop their favorite skills, because the quests would repeat daily

When you are editing a book and you hit OK to indicate you are finished it closes the book altogether, so you have to reopen the book to see the changes. Since formatting can take quite a bit of trial and error, it quickly becomes annoying to constantly have to reopen the book. With music and maps, when you finish editing you simply click the Edit icon again and it exits Edit mode, leaving the music/map open. It would be nice if books worked the same way.

I would like the limit of stacks per category being increased. As Alchemist (one of my occupations ) I need to store from a lot of essences with different quality for the best quality products. While this limit was set after my category was already over the 200 i have a double problem as I cannot work. whatever I take out I cannot put back. So I am looking for the old style mules to help me out? I guess it is better to increase the limit a bit more. 300?

Crashes sometimes occur while unequipping a Master’s Dark Way Wand or mounting while it is equipped.

Since the quest chains were introduced, and many indirect prerequisites for the availability of a quest, I now waste a lot of time scanning each NPC for the very few which have a quest available at the moment, regarding my current list of completed quests, over and over again.

The additional vague hints which are being added to the end of quests are not sufficient because on one hand they may fail, and on the other hand they help better when I just started a new character, not when my experienced character is already in the middle of many quest chains.

I don’t expect a big fat rotating question mark above an NPC’s head; it can well be a less remarkable change – like a different color, outline, or font style for the label, or a slight translucent highlight effect.

I need potions : curse ,diseases,paralyzation, and poison for completion as well stupidity potions that lower magic way skill for shoort duration

It would be extremely useful to have a dedicated file for all quest chat that you could enable.

During the last Dev Meeting, there was a good discussion about looting problems, especially after killing multiple opponents.
Aliasing with “/target next” does not solve the problem, because several players confirmed that this command tends to skip corpses.

Therefore Eredin asked for this ticket as a reminder to check the command.

Sometimes when talking to an NPC during a quest, it’s not obvious that saying something will end it early. For example, in the Dizzy Bevon quest, telling Charisa that you can’t get into the Winch abruptly ends it. Meaning you will never see the rest of that quest, even if you get Winch access. I thought that she would wait instead, which would be more fair to players. Apparently this game wasn’t as forgiving as I imagined. Failing quests is especially annoying when it involves typed answers too, where a typo or not being specific enough will cost you the quest. (Even if you knew the right answer.)

First of all, I feel there shouldn’t be an option to finish a quest early unless you fail, the options being either you complete it fully or save it for later. This would be much more player-friendly. I didn’t even fail the quest, I just couldn’t get into the Winch. I feel like I was punished for being honest, and possibly have missed out on some reputation forever.

Who in the right mind would back out of a quest after accepting it, anyway? I doubt anyone does it intentionally. These sorts of choices should be greatly reduced. It only makes sense during evil quests where you might feel bad about what you’re doing. If someone is feeling lazy or is busy, then they can complete the quest later, like in any other game. If these dialog options are going to remain in the game, then it may be better if they had a warning such as (ENDS QUEST), while the true ending of the quest could say (COMPLETES QUEST). This would help players avoid making infuriating mistakes like mine.

Secondly, sometimes it is too easy to fail a quest when typed answers are involved. In the Stolen Dagger (sp?) quest from Ojaveda where you have to tell Enach what it looked like, if you say “diamond”, or “diamonds”, instead of “diamonds and opals”, you will get the uneventful ending. This is made even more ridiculous because the answer is in your quest log, so it shouldn’t be possible to get it incorrect anyway. But you only get one chance. Basically, I feel quests that rely on typed text should be more forgiving, because sometimes it’s not about whether you’re right or wrong. Rather, it may depend on how many variations of the correct answer there are, so a lot of the time it isn’t the player’s fault. Sure, maybe “diamond” isn’t that specific, but it definitely narrows it down. If I say diamond, Enack should say something like “Anything else?”.

currently transforms from parts back into ingots are not listed in the books relevant on a consistent basis. They may be in some books but are not in the shield books. It would be good to have a list, comprehensive across skills or otherwise, so that players can know which ones are possible.

You can show the Help dialog (menu button or /show help); but to read the verbose explanation about a specific command, you have to search for it in the tree of categories, which may be a little time consuming.

It may be helpful for more experienced users to have a command which opens the Help dialog and navigates to the topic about the command if it exists.

I could imagine e.g. a command like /about command to call the verbose help for the topic /command.

For folks who have older computer systems, sometimes the only way to get PS to work is to have setting on lowest and have weather turned off. But weather is a good RP point so it would be nice to be able to tell what weather is happening even if you can’t see it. It would be nice to have that information next to the time in the information window, or if that isn’t possible, perhaps a command query /weather that will return the current weather of the sector you are in.

When a shortcut that uses an icon is moved the name of the shortcut disappears and is replaced with the shortcut number.

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…

Some options in settings are not being saved after closing the game. They revert to default or adopt other settings.

- Interface → Visible shortcut rows

- Controls → quickbar → shortcuts (Conflicts with “Others” menu → “shortcuts” bar?)

- Chat logs directory → time stamps (May not be functional?)

Issues with shortcuts / quickbar / “shortcut bar” / “macro editor” are the most noticeable and make assigning shortcuts a time-consuming task that requires restarting the game multiple times over.
