seeing that furnature is one of the heavest item types in the game, redecorating guild halls can become tedious and god forbid things get cluttered it is not possible to eaisly move them to storage. my request is that typing /storage will work inside a guild hall as if you were targeting a storage npc. just for convienance sake.

there are two libraries in the game one run by jayose in hydlaa and the other a smaller collection of books run by londris in the death realm.

one of the main complaints about planeshift is the lack of information about the game. both of these libraries contain information for ic use but at the same time the books are locked into their shelves and cannot even be coppied unless a player spends the time to manually enter everything into a text file and upload it to a blank book.

my idea is to share the information by adding buy and sell catagories to jayose and londris that match the bookshelves in the library and contain copies of the books stored in each. basically have them sell copies of the library books that you can take with you and share with your friends or even put in a guild hall for easier access.

in all it makes perfect sense that a man who sells blank books would have the resources to copy and sell the important guides and informational books stored in the library

The skybox texture doesn’t seem to be correctly scaled to the skyboxes. Its borders are cropped and this results in very sharp and somewhat odd skylines:

PS 0.5.5

When I try to select a grill in Brado’s tavern the pink rotating cross does not appear.
Right click works and brings up the action icons. However, putting meat in one of the slots and “use” the grill to grill the meat results in “You interrupted your work when you moved away” every time. Other items like preparation tables, pots, etc. work fine.

I’m running PS on:
Arch linux ( up to date system ) 86×64 intel core i5
mobility radeon HD5xxx series with up to date catalyst drivers.

I logged my console output but I can’t see anything relevant to the problem, could be me so here’s the link:

When the monster is somewhat near you, the movement simulating firing an arrow with the bow is showing. However if the monster is quite far away the movement stops showing until either one of you gets closer to the other.

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.

I really like the sewers in Hydlaa, and I think it’d be cool if the other cities (Ojaveda and Amdeneir, mainly) had something like that. I also think it’d be cool if the Hydlaa sewers had a couple more openings, and maybe some intentional service entrances instead of just cave-ins with ladders… And maybe an entrance/exit in the East? Then my Rogue-like character could travel by sewers more, which would be totally awesome.

Are you guys planning to add some more sewers eventually?

If you take a heated blade out of your hand while hammering it the work will not be interrupted until the work duration if finished. If you return it to your hand before the work is finished the transformation completes successfully.
THis appears to only work if you replace the item with itself, substituting a different identical item or a completely different item causes an interruption.

I play a Grey Klyros male and after I got my robes I noticed that if I put them on and took them back off, my arms became blue.
This is an easy bug to recreate, all it requires is a grey klyros and a robe.

You can easily shoot with a bow ingame to ranges far beyond the range of combat messages. Mob aggro (and sometimes the archery anim) do not work at such long ranges, either.

The right hand of the Klyros looks like their claws poke through their fist.

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.

There are several issues I experienced during testing the Character Creation / Race Selection:

• Hair style is hard to check if manual rotation is necessary during zoomed view.
• Male Ylian: blonde/brown are confusing names for face textures, they should possibly be changed to emotions. Blonde 1 and Blonde 2 appear identical.
• Male Dermorian: Face style “Forehead tatoo …” is too long to be readable completely
• Female Dermorian: “Medium” style is shorter than “Short” style
• Stonehammer: Race description still mentions “Stonebreaker”. Many descriptions may need an update after the race renovation.
• Male Stonebreaker (and others): Hair and Beard styles may need a more descriptive name.
• Female Stonehammer: Traits seem to be misordered. If “Braids” are the two long upper tails, and “Rivnak tail” should probably be the one long tail, then “Lavvar tail” should instead be the two small low tails? What is a Lavvar, anyway?
• Kran: I’d prefer visually disabling both male and female gender buttons. Leaving the female activated might be confusing.
• Female Ynnwn: Face style “White eyes” doesn’t use white eyes. The name should possibly be changed, e.g. “Aged” (in contrast to “Young”).

I have noticed a few things that are Incorrect, not sure If anyone commented on them, Or If they are In Progress. I will jot them down all in one Report so not to make several reports…

1. The “Cone” On the Energy Arrow Is faced in one direction As in the visual effect right after the energy arrow hits the target (Im sure im not the only one who see’s this wrong?)
2. When Dropping Stacks Of Items Like Pants There is an extra “ES” at the end. Alot Of Items Have The Extra “ES” at the end, that should not be there.

I Had A couple Questions and Requests :)
1. Someway to Turn off the red dropping notifications like.>”You are to far away to attack” and ““**” Has nothing to be looted”. maybe a way to just have it in the system tab.(Asked in help tab, unknown, If someone knows how please tell me lol, thanks!)
2. An NPC Or something In Game That could tell you detailed Information about weapons/quest items and things of that nature, (I have seen the Book in the musium, but I haven’t really studied it yet, and maybe incomplete?)

  It would be really cool if you could go to an npc and hand them what you found, have them give you 2 lines about the sword and what it does. Or even a book from a quest where you can i.d it, have it unidentified untill you take it to an npc and pay them a really small fee to i.d it. (Not complaining at all but I have kept all of my named items I have looted since I have started playing. they are awsome! :D But I want to organize :) please? :D I want to sell them but I dont want to sell something for 10,000 and find out that it was really special. haha with my Inventory im sure I could write the book!

If you want to comment on this aswell, up to you. I will be blunt to the point:
I have seen leather working Implimented But Famiel Is the one and only charature I will have. But He is Forbidden to work with Furs/Hides other then looting for sale. he wants to start making his own armor, so I ask/Hope there is a way to bypass leather armor and make Medium/Heavy Arms/Boots/Gloves when it gets implimented
Thank You For Your Time :)

The measurement of note durations is completely wrong. “Beats Per Minute” are no more what they used to be.

There are numerous (at least dozens) complaints in the forum that (especially under Windows) the errorlog.txt contains only uninteresting default errors which are not at all critical, but misses really useful and critical entries instead.

The whole “error console” concept is nonsense for Windows users. Windows builds don’t output anything useful in the console they are started from, and this would be the only console where output could be redirected to files.

If you call the client with the parameter “–console”, a new console is opened, but this one can’t be redirected with “>” or “2>”, you would have to mouse-select as much as you can keep in its history. Most PC users will not know enough about Windows to tweak this console window, maybe not even know how to select and copy from it. On Windows 7 it is even worse, when the client crashed, the new console is nearly disabled, so you almost cannot select and copy text from it after a crash.

I would like to see 2560×1440 added to the list of monitor resolutions in the launcher.
For example:

Index: src/pslaunch/pawslauncherwindow.cpp

   }
   else if(ratio == "16:9")
   {

       resolution->NewOption("1920x1080");
       resolution->NewOption("1366x768");
       resolution->NewOption("1280x720");

I’m a new user and I just had a very frustrating experience, so I want to propose an improvement.

I requested a guild mate to craft me some chain armor, and when I got it done I picked the Arm piece i was wearing and tried to exchange by the new one. By the gods, the quality-50 armor merged with the quality-300 one and I got two quality-175 armors. Without any confirmation.

I think the merge-on-stack system is fine for many crafting situations, but merging armor stats is a unexpected one. I fail to see why one would want to merge a higher armor with a much lower one. This doesn’t even make sense: if you mix water and herbs it’s ok that you get an infusion, but you can’t mix a chain mail with another one to instantly get two different ones.

I requested a GM to revert the stats and he said that this is the same situation as when one sells or gives away an item by mistake. I think it is not the same thing. This is not a mistake; it is common to exchange items in the inventory to organize or save space, and having these “side-effects” in place can make a simple inventory management a surprisingly bad experience for new users like me. :(

TL;DR:

1. Please review if it really makes sense to merge armors or weapons. I don’t see the use for it, and it sounds illogical, but probably I’m missing something.

2. Please consider adding a confirmation to actions with clearly bad side effects during inventory management, to avoid the frustration, specially for new users.

3. Please consider adding a toggle/checkbox to the inventory to turn on/off automatic item merging (disabled by default to avoid sad surprises like mine).

Thanks for all the hard work, guys. :)

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.

1) Abacus quest item in “Kilas wants his Abacus Back” looks like some sort of globus…

2) It is not clear from Crosh’s explanations, that numeric base he uses with 7-th beads abacus. It can be both 7 or 8, so right answer may be 64 (base 8) or 49 (if base 7 is used). If base 7 is used, the whole beads line is moved back (left) in same operation with moving its last 7-th bead to the right. Same alhorithm is used in real Russian abacus, which have 10 beads in a line for 10-th base calculations.

Maybe, 2) is not a bug, but it requires some more “out of game” explorations, than player may expect, or just “brute force” enumeration of possible aanswers. So, Crosh’s explanations about his calculations must be more clear:

Now: “When they’re all to the right, I move them all back and move bead in a second line…“
Must be like: “When they’re all to the right, and I need to count one more day, I move them all back and move bead in a second line…“

It has been brought to my attention that friendly AoE spells can be used to detect invisible GMs who are within the range of the spell. A check on spells cast from accounts with 0 security could be added that only allows friendly spells to be cast on targets which are ‘visible’ hereby preventing GMs from being targeted when invisible.

I think it would be nice if mages would be able to make magic scrolls, on the same patterns as you can enchant gems, you could enchant a paper by spells.

Then anyone could use that scroll to cast magic without magical knowledge, so a crafter or fighter character could use identifing, healing or other type of spells.
The power of the spell and the duration would depend on the quality of the scroll, and that on the way level of the mage who created it.

Scroll would be crafted from papers on the same way as you make enchanted crystals from gems.
It could use an ‘intermediate object’ or multiple glyph enchanting on a single paper would do it too.
For example, if a spell is a 3 glyph combination then the crafter would need to use those 3 glyphs (in the right order?) to apply the spell on the scroll.

Using the scrolls would work through the /use command.
/use Scroll of Healing Flash
/use Scroll of Analyze Dweomer
/use Scroll of Fist of the Volcano

The script should consider what is targeted, if an item is targeted, you could use identifing, if a mob or player has been targeted you could use the spell on the target too for attacking or buffing.
You also would be able to cast spells on other players that are only allowed now to cast on yourself like Dome of Perfection.

I already discussed it with weltall, who doesn’t see technical limitations in implementation yet.

There are quests with almost no automatic quest notes documenting the progress, except for the first note describing the purpose of the quest. This is especially annoying when you have to get a specific number of items and need to scan your logs, like in old times before automatic quest notes were implemented…

Open quests are in italics, the rest is already completed.

• A Hammer for Hamel (Hamel Warson; only 2 notes, the second is confusing - sounds as if the quest failed)
• Drinks in the Deep (Crosh Dunehammer)
• Get a Performance (Roya Vuntarr; just started, but already missing a log of the direction where to go)
• Harnquist Weapon Commission (Harnquist)
• Introduction to Science (Durok Rrecrok)
• Ring of Familiar (Levrus; just started, but already missing a log of the required ingredients)

spells that give buffs should have their duration reset upon further castings instead of casting having no effect within the spells duration.

If I cast defensive wind, currently subsequent castings have no effect while the spell is active. Could this be changed so that the second spell restarts the duration timer?

I created a guild with 1 member and it did not disband after 5 minutes as it should have as it had less than the minimum number of required members.

At the moment the guild key does NOT show up as a key when a character is holding it.
It shows up as a pouch bag.
Please kindly switch the image for a actual gold key just like shown in inventory.

the inscription reads that “Talad may bless the souls” this implies that he also may not. “May Talad bless” or simply “Talad bless” would be a plea for his intercession. “Talad blesses” would be an affirmation to the reader that they are indeed blessed by Talad whether or not it is actually true.

As the title suggests you continue to get the system message you have gained practice when using a skill despite your practice level not actually increasing.

i have seen people who log and quit(crashing) in second due using incompatibile skin
update and repair should set skin to default elves .reinstaling ps propably will not help because these configuations are in diferent folder

After updating itself, and then updating the PS client and data (Win64) to version 0.6.1, the launcher tried a third time, displayed “Using mirror … for updaterinfo.xml | updateservers.xml” — and then, nothing. The button “OK” never appeared.

The button “Cancel” was available. But how shall I know if I interrupt something important if I click it?

Players, Taya, and I have all seen that crafted items are suddenly missing them name of the crafter. There are also reports of missing names such as “finest”.

I was also able to craft a steel ingot and within a few minutes I managed to lose the information in the examine window which showed I was the crafter of the item.

The description of the “Armor Repair Kit” says
“To use it equip the armor and type /repair <location> in the chat window. Example /repair boots ,/repair torso ,/repair gloves ,/repair arms” according to the examples it should be /repair pants to repair the “<armor type> Pants”.

With a weight of 9 and a size of 9, the model of “White Oak Wood” appears to be way too large. Such a big heap of wood would weight more than 50 kg. In contrast, the icon is such a tiny poking stick…

As the title suggests if you add a name like;

Venalan

And you then edit this to say

Venalan “dev”

When you load the client next time around the " will have broken the aliases_name.xml file so none of the added name notes will show. It is because you end up with the following in the xml file

<alias name=”Venalan” alias=”Venalan “Dev”” />

the extra [dev”“] is an unknown component of the <alias /> so breaks the whole formatting of the file.

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

If you ask him a question he doesn’t know how to respond to he uses the default verbal answers.

Wanted to bring up this idea to see how it would be taken in.

Given the difficulty training the skill itself involves, why not consider making the consumable repair kits for both weapons and armor craftable as part of the Tool Crafting skill?

Could be done in such a way that 1 steel stock would make 5 repair kits, or 2 steel ingots would make one.

This way, players can keep themselves supplied without having to keep spending money at the VERY NUMEROUS kits they’ll have to buy to raise their skill levels.

I would like to see npc’s function as locators for quest characters so that players can “ask around town” if they cannot locate the desired npc.

until now due to the gm’s policy about spoilers and the fact that most NPC’s are pretty much brain dead except for a few very basic responses it is sometimes next to impossible to locate a specific NPC without relying on another player or a wiki website as the information is not available ingame.

essentially I want NPC’s to respond to commands such as “do you know where I can find ‘name’” they should be able to check a database of nearby NPS’s and if they are in range they can point you in the direction or if not in range point you towards an NPC that does.

sample response. “yes i have heard of this ‘name’ you can find him over by “description of location pulled from database”.

sample responce out of range.

“I have not heard that name before perhaps you should try asking ‘NPC near desired character’ in ‘city near desired NPC’

but essentially make NPC’s able to give directions or information about other NPC’s or directions to nearby areas

right now it is nearly impossible to get any information about quests without relying on other players. Npc’s should respond to questions of this nature.

Now that we have a working pet AI that can properly follow a player it may be an appropriate time to suggest the addition of something to cater to tradesmen such as traveling merchants and miners who are frequently overloaded by the weight of their inventory.

There is already evidence of large beasts of burden and carts in game and it may be time to implement Pack Animals or a small cart you can pull yourself to increase your overall carrying capacity. aside from the obvious utility value it would also add some RP value allowing merchants to sell directly out of their carts and have enough inventory on hand to negotiate deals along the roads.

When you add a filter string to the /study window the empty lines between the item entries is lost such that you end up with long list of items. I think it might look better if the empty lines were maintained when a search string is entered

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.

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.

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…

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…

As with other windows with 1600 by 1000 and other similar ratios it does not fit on the screen properly.

It’s spawned items, probably from a natural resource location.

Two problems with guards:
They do not complain about characters with wielded weapons.
They do not let creatures enter the city!

I have a container (a sack) with tools. In there, I have a rock pick. Its capacity is 18.85/20. I can move the rock pick from container to inventory and back nicely.

However when I move the rock pick to a different slot in the container, I get:

“Item cannot be added to that container because item is too large to fit.”

I bet what happens is that PSUnreal first tries to add the rock pick to the new slot in the container and only then removes it from the old slot. This is of cause the safe way to do it, however it does lead to above error, as the rock pick has a size of 1.5 and that does not fit in 20-18.85 anymore.

That seems to be the case, cause moving a potion around in a container with capacity 7.90/20 works nicely.

I believe Crystal Space PS had the same “bug”.
