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.

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

This idea came up in IRC.

When someone breaks a law, players can report it to GMs or another NPC guard. Then GMs or the guard activate an option that turns on the autoaccept duels for an hour, with a different color label. During that hour, players that find the outlaw can kill it (or people with X faction in guards), so that would involve some players acting like guards in town (and some outlaws would have to leave the city for some time to avoid being killed).

It would be nice if it was possible to zoom sketches when looking at them. This would also be useful when you get a sketch/map which is too big for your screen and allows you to have the entire image on screen by reducing zoom.

The included patch allows the user to zoom from 1/10 to 10x the map increasing the size of every element on screen.
The buttons used for this are > and < if someone has a better suggestion about them or thinks that having the increase/decrease zoom on screen would be useful i could add them.

I don’t spend my life in Jayose’s library. However, once in a while, I would go there and spend a couple of hours reading, looking for new books, sometimes refreshing my memory with older ones.

It would be nice if there was a way to quickly spot a book that one has already read. Maybe a (read) or (unread) mark after the title, or just a different colour for the title font, anything as see fit. A “read” flag would be set as soon as the book is open, to keep it simple, and of course it is the player’s responsibility to read the content. Ok, so far, you can tell me that it’s up to me to remember if I read something or not; even when hundreds of volumes will be available; yes, but…

It gets useful when a book is updated. If I do remember that I read a specific book, well, I’ll probably won’t read it again. Meanwhile, words may have been changed inside, following the inconsistencies hunt, world development, whatever… So, if all statuses are set back to “unread” for all players after a change (or from “read” to “updated” if you want to be more precise), we’ll know that we’d better read it again.

It can be a bit heavy on the database (flagging each book for each player), but at least it’s technically simple. Not to mention other uses you could come up with (quest requisites, statistics for the setting team, etc.)

Also, as Tontow suggested, the info can be stored on the client side instead of a database. To not lose the functionality of the “updated” flag, which is set on the server side, a last updated timestamp for each book is all that is needed on the server. Client side, the log starts empty (no book read). When opening a book, the log is updated (each time) with the book id (its name, I suppose) and the opening timestamp (server time, easier than GMT). When examining a shelf, books are marked according to the log info; thus, if the latest opening date is earlier than the book’s server timestamp, it appears as “updated”.

(Wish list reference: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=34222.0)

Function to set a guarded item as sellable, with price.

/sellitem name price

Confirmation for sale, confirming price to purchaser.
Confirmation text message/description in main when sale has occurred.

Would need at least a button visible in context menu to initiate sale.
Set item for sale and price could be command-line, that’d still work.

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?

Dropping an item in the forge or furnace while hammering something results in a message similar to “You can’t train your skill while working”, with the item sitting in the container but never heating up.

Instead, the item should refuse to drop in the forge/furnace (similar to the situation when capacity, weight, or slots are exhausted).
Alternatively, the item could drop normally and start heating up.

I have two reasons for requesting this:

1. It runs counter to immersion. Stuff sitting in a hot place heats up in real life, it should do so in Ylliakum as well.
2. It is a griefing opportunity. Start hammering something, fill up the forge with stuff, and watch crafters despair. Since the stuff does not heat up, you can even continue crafting - you can take stuff from a slot normally and immediately replace it, the 300 ms lag will make sure that you can fill the slot before the other crafters even see that you freed the slot.

Feel free to change to Feature Request, I cannot know whether the current behaviour conforms to developer expectations or not.

Make an option that allows a player to make the loot of a corpse public if they do not want it. May not apply to some corpses, and could be used to make other corpses auto-public.

1) Ctrl-drag an item or use a shortcut bound to Ctrl-something
2) Note that your run toggle state just changed. :P

Using Ctrl or Shift as a modifier should “lock out” the functions bound to these keys by themselves.

It would be useful if the Option-Window also had an option to change the label-colour for people on ones' buddylist. This would especially be useful when there are a lot of players around, but it would make it easier to spot buddies in general as well.

Quest: Kilas wants his abacus back

[NPC] Kilas Tungse says: Do you think you can help me with a quick errand?
[NPC] $player says: I love to learn!
[NPC] Kilas Tungse says: Thanks.
[NPC] Kilas Tungse says: I lent my abacus to Crosh Dunehammer, the guardian of the dungeons.

vs.

[NPC] $player says: about dungeon
[NPC] Kilas Tungse says: What dungeon? Are you sure you heard right? If there was a dungeon anywhere nearby, I'm sure the city would've had it sealed off by now.

This "There is no dungeon" conspiracy makes consistent quests hard where inhabitants of the dungeon are involved.

I had discussed this with Sarva who liked the idea and asked me to enter it into the Tracker.

Add a “reason” to the “report” command:
Usage: report [player name] [reason]

In case it takes a while to implement this, meanwhile at least add to the command description that the reporting player also files a petition because this makes it easier for the Game Masters to check what happened.

Thank you for listening (reading),

Gonger

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)

food for kra shall have new item category -it mess with alchemy preparations while its toxic for others races

Moved from ticket 5981, suggestion by Franta

it would be good to implement command with list of all public channels with something like /list [filter]. It would also show all channels you are joined with the corresponding number.

Example:
/list
gossip (talk with /1 <text>)
auctions (talk with /2 <text>)
hydlaa_chat (not connected)
gobble_hunt (not connected)

the same list with filter as parameter:
/list go
gossip (talk /1 <text>)
gobble_hunt (not connected)

the same list with special case for only connected channels:
/list #
gossip (talk with /1 <text>)
auctions (talk with /2 <text>)

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.

Log in with main char.
create shortcut
log out
log in with another char.
shortcut created with main character shows on all alternates.

Log in with separate account
shortcuts from main account are also transferred to here

The list of guild members is not sortable by online status.

Expected result:

Sort them by a different field by clicking one of the columns.

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.

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

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.

there aren’t any terms of service on the website and consistently the user doesn’t have to agree to them at any point.

this is a big issue in my opinion as the user isn’t strictly bound to such terms and therefore cannot be accordingly punished in case he’s causing really bad issues.

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.

A general problem with the quest menu system at the moment is the speed at menu disappear. The problem occurs in the following situation.

All the following is within one step in the following format.

Player gives NPC 1 item.
Menu: text.
NPC: text.
Menu: No. Menu: Yes.
NPC: text.
NPC: text.
Give 1 Melorick's Scroll Case.
Assign Quest.

You give the npc the item.
The initial npc text appears.
Once they have finished talking the next two menus appear, but before you are able to click on the menus the menus vanish.
This results in you losing the item needed to trigger the quest/step and are unable to repeat it.
This was only became a problem with the introduction of the 'bubble' menu system.

Commanding pets is similar to combat skills in that you get no experience for using them but in the case of of combat you get the experience for the kill. I could not get my pet to attack with my 30 empathy, I was able to get a message that my pet targeted successfully as well as a message that my pet needed a target to attack.

Practice seems to have a cool-down period where subsequent commands give no practice. I would think that the cool down period should just be for identical commands, when you need to target something before attacking both actions should give practice.

It would be good to have some information on the state of pet activities.

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.

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

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

Issue: Harnquist regularly calls “Blades, shields, repair kits! Get them here!”. If you are collecting a quest from Harnquist, his regular cry can replace a page of his dialog providing the quest information and there’s no way to get back to the page of dialog that was replaced.

His regular cry should be supressed whenever a player is talking to him, so the player can read all the information he is providing.

Scenario: You have several in process quests, You go to NPC, look for list of quests. You pick, a quest offered by say Levrus, “more coal”. To you, it sounds like a new quest, so you click on it to see what it is. It then starts you over on that quest from the beginning. You completed and forgot that quest long ago, but it then gets deleted from your completed or in process quest list.

   Unless you check all your completed or in process quests, you are doomed to repeat the entire quest.

If you have many quests done, you may think this is a new quest due to user memory loss, or similar titles of quests. In addition, quest notes are saved locally to a machine, so if you have several machines, or installing new OSs your notes don’t follow.

   As an experienced player, I kept trying to please the guards for a pet for a long time before realizing this situation.
