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.

In the interface tab of the options/settings menu, some options don’t seem to save at relog.

Items affected:
- menu bar size
- visible shortcut rows
- chat tabs
- time stamps
- max history

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.

Talking to Menita and confirming the quest with “I will try” crashes the server.

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.

The quest has a number of triggers that must be completed in order to progress that do not appear to be working in Unreal. The three I’ve found are:

1) Proximity to the rock with the action location that moves players into the cave,

2) Use of a cog/mechanism, moving one of the rocks, and

3) Solving the door puzzle and entering the small room.

I’m not sure if these are supposed to complete steps that are not sequential with the immediately previous steps, or if they are meant to set variables, but either way they don’t seem to be doing the job. Talking to Raithen gives no sign that you’ve completed any of these tasks, even if you’ve done them all.

I can get players past this by setting a later step manually, but given the (suspected) use of variables or non-sequential steps, it seems likely I’ll just mess things up for them.

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.

When I learned about the new transformation mode I took it upon myself to clean up our guildhouse.

In the process I removed many old items from the map and stored them in containers instead.

While I did this occasional crashes happened, which on returning seem to have deleted items stored in these containers.
I have lost roughly 70% of player generated/crafted items, some of historical value this way, as well as many player crafted weapons and armours of highest quality.

A very alarming issue.

If my asumption is correct the server automatically deletes any item that it suspects to be involved in crashes. While this maybe desired behaviour in terms of the technical side of things, in terms of a persistent game world this is REALLY, REALLY bad, if true.

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

It has happened to me a dozen times over since joining UR after it has replaced legacy, I relogged inside a guildhouse/law map and I am eternally falling for having spawned slightly beneath floor level.

In several instances I had to wait hours for a /tp back to the map, and so it is happening again today.

Please make a quick fix of this enabling players to teleport themselves back to the map in such a case. It’s a real downer to have to wait for a long time in such a case, particularly given the fact that you probably have to stay online for a GM to /tp and fix this. Huge waste of energy with the constant 3D animation.

This could also be of help if players are trapped in map geometry, inescapable pits, rifts and so on.

After a server crash, if you don’t restart your game, your log will no longer be updated with what happens in game. This has been noticed by Gonger, Migg, and a few others.

when completing a quest with a “choose your reward” section at the end, if you don’t select a reward before clicking “Select a reward” it doesn’t stop you before continuing or give you a default reward, it just completes without giving you any of the possible rewards.

When a friend completed the “Levrus Rat Eyes” quest, she forgot to select a reward before clicking “Select a reward” and received none of the options given.

Coming soon…

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

How to reproduce:
do something which require much physical stamina: move many stuff in your bag, do something at anvil or something another.
and then run following commands:
/sit
/unmount
/target <PET NAME>
/mount ←– here your physical stamina will be full!!!
/stand

this bug has a list of all gm feature requests attached to make it easier to find them

When you try to kill some kind of MOBs, usually humanoids, with the ability to heal themselves, they keep resurrecting.
You can easily see this in Camp Banished. When the foe reachs a health threshold it starts casting healing flash several times. It seems that there is a sort of queue filled with the spells, and the foe keeps resurrecting until you kill him in a moment he is not casting the healing spell.
This is the opposite of the previous behaviour where the opponent was just dying several times.

The way it works now:

If I want to purchase a weapon that is better than those offered by NPCs (Trasok, Harnquist, etc) I must find someone who is capable of crafting the item I am looking for, which can be IC, but also find out when they are going to be online, which is OOC. I have spent more hours than I can count trying to find crafted items for sale in Hydlaa and Akkaio. It can be great for RP to have players sitting around doing nothing but selling their wares, but players are going to want to do something other than sit the entire time they are in-game, and there are not enough players to be available 24/7 or even a regular in-game 8-5.

The way it should work:

A specialized NPC character (class of characters) should be introduced that can do two things:

1. Hold items for sale.
2. Sell items that are held at a price specified by the original seller.

Desired Implementation example:

1. Crafter makes item and goes to merchant.
2. Crafter sets a price for item to be sold and removes it from his inventory.

 a. this could be done via a specialized trade window/action button.
 b. a seller should be able to remove an item that has not been sold (for a fee).
 c. the seller should be able to change the asking price (for a fee).

3. The item then becomes available for sale to other players to purchase.

 a. a action button and dialog would need to be created to search the merchants inventory.
 b. the items listed should allow a description to be viewed (similar to current buy/sell dialog.
 c. when an item is purchased it is removed from the merchants inventory.

4. The money would be taken from the buyer and either

 1. placed on the merchant to be claimed by the seller any time after the item was sold (minus commission)
 or
 2. placed in a bank account (minus commission)

*
Design consideration should be made for if each NPC merchant is self-contained, or if the NPC merchants know about the inventory of other merchants and can offer those items for sale (for a additional delivery fee)
*

Justifications:

1. Players are not available 24/7.
2. All characters should not be crafters (not realistic for RP)
3. Economy would be much more realistic and less OOC as items would not be as difficult to buy/sell.
4. RP is not lost as a crafter can still sell their wares (with no fees) if they sell direct.

I Was going to make some apple jam biscuits recently as requested by Harnquist but I could not for the life of me find them in any of my cookbooks (I have all four!). Since Harnquist asked for it, I was pretty sure I could make it and took a guess that it should be in the Pastry Chef book that has the jam recipe and open biscuits. With that book in Mind, I was able to make the Apple Jam Biscuits, but I never did actually FIND the recipe. I checked with another cook just to make sure, and she couldn’t find it either. She also pointed out that the Bread with Apple Jam is also missing (the other Bread with Duppong/Teveran/Macca/Joopiner Jam and Duppong/Teveran/Macca/Joopiner Jam Biscuits, as well as the Bread with Butter and Buttered Biscuits are also missing.)

In the Making Enchanted Armor book I discovered that the skills you cannot do are not grayed out (AFTER I tried something, was told I didn’t have the skill, and looked more closely at my book! It does say the usual “WIth higher skill you could blah, blah, blah” but it’s the same color as the rest of the text).

I hope it is technically possible to programmatically request a further execution of the launcher as administrator to be able to exchange binaries in UAC protected directories (%ProgramFiles% or %ProgramFiles(x86)% under Windows Vista/7/8…); and may it just be by the launcher calling itself as a new instance executed under the Administrator account.

Other platforms than Windows may require a similar solution.

Moving of a short cut overwrites the old one – likely to cause problems with people randomly deleting SCs they want. [FEAT]

(moved from defect # 6066)

Would it be possible to change how the code handles missing parts of gui in xml, so it shows an error rather than crashing. example being with page numbers and using an old xml which did not contain them, client currently crashes as soon as you view a book. it would be nice to at least get a message pointing at cause

System tab: Could the information there be split up further, like for the logs, into something like combat, crafting, soul commands (emotes and interaction commands like /greet), so you can have more control what is shown in Main tab?

This was briefly discussed in the Dev meeting (22/02/2015), and should be assigned to Eredin.

Thank you.

When an npc talks the volume of the music ect makes it hard to hear them. Lets try setting all volume to 20% or so and see how that effects it.

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.

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.

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 crafted two bows, the NPC-Price for the Enkidukai Shortbow (needs lvl 20 in bow making and more material) seems to low.
Enkidukai Hunting Bow, Q170; 1588 Tria
Enkidukai Shortbow, Q193; 1531 Tria

The Mace Making Practice Points seem to be inconsistent with other crafting. With a skill level of less than 20, everything only takes 5 seconds to make regardless of the complexity of the item being crafted.
Wondering if a higher blacksmith skill is weighted more. Only getting 5 pp per item crafted will extend leveling ability time dramatically.

In the NPC dialogs, there are several instances of modern-day abbreviations like "OK", "info" or "wow" (may be acceptable) being used. For example, in Fruntar's "Schaeminare soap" quest you can respond with "OK, where do I get this soap." (should be a question mark there, too). Also, in "A wife's dilemma", you can say to Tilavi "Ok, what kind of deal?". Maybe one could run a database search for "OK", "Ok", etc. on the NPC/quest responses to find all occurences?

When working on bow making at the Arena smith table: if you /use the table, when the progress bar shows that you are done, instead of being done with whatever you’re doing, you get a message that reads “You interrupted your work when you moved away” without having moved at all.

I’ve repeated it multiple times working on a few different things, but haven’t tried at any other smith tables yet.

feature request to have more options to morph to. GMs are not able to change face when they morph or any other option in character creation.

skin
hair
face
etc

when you repair a dagger for example you have to
- equip it in right hand
- do /repair and wait for it to end.

if you try to select the “weapon” which is being repaired you cannot move it.
you get the message : “You cannot move an item being used”

BUT if you take another weapon, select it and put it on the weapon being repaired, they will switch themselves (i mean the weapon in the hand will go to the INV and the one in the INV in the hand) and the repair action will still be active. (the weapon you started to repair will be repaired, not the one after switching).

hope to be clear :p

It would be nice to use alias names from buddy list for /tell command.
e.g name: full_char_name, alias: Loyni.
/tell Loyni [text] could be translated itnernally to
/tell full_char_name [taxt].

the gm /item window has many items listed in it, it would be much easier if you could just type the name of the item needed and it would show you the 3d mesh and the icon as if you had found it in the catagory selection section. this is very helpful for trying to see what something looks like without having to spawn it. as more and more items start to be added to laanx less and less people will be able to use the /item window to find items and will use /item <name> instead but that is a waste if they just want to view an item and have no use for it.

If you have 20 eggs in your inventory, split up in a stack of 19 and 1 separate, /giveitem Test all egg will only give the target 1 egg. You have to stack all eggs together for the command to work.

This also means that if a character has 3 swords stolen via an exploit, and a GM would use /takeitem Cheater all sword, only the stacks would be taken. So if the cheater had 2 swords in a stack and 1 separate, he would keep the separate sword.

When using /item to create a lockable container, also create a key automatically and place it in the container.

At the every least, just create the (master?) key and put it in the new container.

More complex would be to alter the dialog to allow input of how many keys (in addition to master?) to auto-create.

Since players rely heavily on log files, and since some files like saved books and screenshots are created by the client in various folders, could the installation package please create shortcuts to these folders in the start menu on windows, and whatever the equivelant is on other platforms? Would certainly make it easier for players to find them when they need them.

Also either set the psupdater shortcut to include the CheckIntegrity flag as default or create a second one with that flag.

I know this is around for some reason, but I think an option to turn this on and off would be better, as it does more bad than good, especially for roleplay. I was talking with someone new in the dungeon, next to an aggressive rogue which I just killed. When the rogue respawned, he went after the new player, and began pummeling him. I tried to intervene and “save” him, but couldn’t attack the rogue because of some magical red letter barrier yelling “I must be grouped with the player to attack”. I eventually tried to heal him, but wasn’t fast enough and he died while I stood there watching helplessly. Next time I’ll start with healing them, instead of trying to attack, group and communicate with the player as they are being attacked.

I’m not sure how many people go out there and try to “steal” other people’s monsters, but this is seriously annoying and unrealistic in the grand scheme of things. This has happened many times and has been tough to try to “save” anyone, so I thought an option to turn on and off to allow players to hoard monsters for themselves or share if they get into trouble. I suggest as a default, it should be allowable for new players. Delete this if it is a repost, couldn’t find anything on it.

Thanks!
