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?

In the server list, you could have another “server” that’s really stored on the local machine. In this server, it starts the player in a pit with a bunch of NPCs casting spells over and over. Maybe 5 NPCs repeatedly casting magic light, and 20 casting random spells. The pit should be a “worst realistic case” scenario so that players can tinker with graphical settings in there.

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?

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

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

Use case, to check the Quality of an item before retrieving it from storage, similar to Legacy

If you use:
/setskill me all 100

the server is trying to send all skills multiple times and we get a disconnection on the client

Seems that AdminManager::AwardToTarget() is sending back the WHOLE set of skills instead of the one modified. So the result is 68 skills sent 68 times.

At the moment Weapon enchantment is being executed with any attack, also from another weapon.

I have a dagger “of Creation” that is triggering a blinding magical effect.

As soon as I have this item equipped, any attack I do, even with the other hand is triggering the blinding effect.

Note from Talad: at the moment the equip_script associated to the weapon, is attaching an “on attack” effect on the character. There is no way at the moment to know which weapon generated that. We could change ApsCharacter::AttachScript() to also store the information of which weapon had the effect, and then in ApsCharacter::InvokeAttackScripts() check if the current weapon used is the same that generated the effect.

When playing in windowed mode, if you shrink the game window, everything scales smaller except the mouse pointer. This causes the tooltip to be hidden behind the mouse pointer if you shrink the window smaller making it unreadable. I’m not sure if it’s possible to either have the mouse pointer scale with everything else, if the tooltip can be further offset, or if the tooltip can be on top of the pointer.

This is the biggest problem on the toolbar with options, skills, character etc, spells/active magic toolbar, and on the shortcut toolbar. The inventory tooltips seem ~okay. They do overlap slightly, but the overlap is in a place without text.

Not sure what causes the client to crash. But it seems reproducible when I turn around.

When attempting to attack with the hand a torch is equipped in.
the error message is “You have no weapons equipped!”

A more accurate Error message could be

You cannot attack with this item

or

You should not attack with this delicate item

— side note, nice to see meele working while holding a torch now.

Currently when doing a task that requires a time duration, a status bar appears on the left of the view screen that we are unable to move or resize

If you have your inventory window on the right and hover over an item, the information display scrolls off the visible screen.

can you please change it so it aligns to the edge of the visible screen.

in other words, make it so the information shown while hovering over an item is always showing on the visible screen only

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

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

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

items inside the mail window have no weight/quality/size.

Steps to reproduce:
1. go to a fast travel npc and click on mail
2. click on write mail tab
3. place item(s)/coin(s) in the mail window
4. hover over items

persists in received and sent tabs as well. You can send mail to yourself to test.

Pet follows properly after summoning or after telling it to follow. Whenever Damola moves the pet follows.

However once I told it not to follow anymore, whenever I tell it follow again, it follows to the current location of Damola, but does not continue following. I.e. it only follows one time and not until told otherwise. But only after having been told not to follow once.

Hi,
it would be nice if you could lend/rent your mount to other people. This could be made with a dialog box that appears when someone wants to /mount the pet (”Foo wants do ride your pet NameofThePet, allow?”), similar to challenges/trades. If this is implemented there should of cause be auto-accept/deny.

when you kill merceneries some seems to stand up and dont despawn from some times so the new respawn stand into the standing corpse.
on attack the corpse is shown with some health so when they moce the bodies you switch kinda targets whatever model you target.
Also it can happen that on respawn the merc. will get invisible.

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.

Since a while PSUnreal has a pop window in inventory that appears then hovering with the mouse pointer over inventory slots with items or containers in it.

It is a nice feature.

However in the top right slots of the inventory the popup window overlaps the slot the mouse pointer is over and slots in the neighborhood of it. It thus covers part of the inventory content which makes it more difficult to navigate to the right items.

# How to reproduce

- Move inventory window to the lower right corner of the PlaneShift Unreal window or screen.
- Put some items or containers in the top right inventory slots
- Hover with the mouse pointer over them.

# Actual results

When hovering over the top right slot the popup window covers 4 slots in the upper 2 rows seen from the top right corner of the inventory slot area.

For some reason the buddies list uses a different font than all the other lists. I find it quite hard to read.

In addition to that the text color is red on a brown-greyish background. That makes it even harder to read.

I suggest using the same font and color as in the other lists.

Need to fix the model to not being open at the bottom. (noted it missing in stream while working on magic light)

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.

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

riding a mount can be strange. there is the usual sit on saddle look, standing on saddle with knees bent, standing sideways like on a surfdoard or skate board, and there is side saddle. not yet had the reversal of riding position this time, yet. if you sit side saddle, stand like surfing/skateboarding, you walk/run crablike.

Not sure if this is possible, but seeing as how the names are treated more as actual names and less as usernames, I believe there should be some support for apostrophes or dashes in names.

For instance (some common fictional apostrophized names)
Teal’c
T’Pol
Kal-El
Jor-El

Perhaps if the apostrophized version of names are only for “display purposes”, so if you see someone named T’Lara, their name is stored as a “key” in the database as tlara, and people can access their name (for instance with /tell) using Tlara, but for display purposes, their name shows up as T’Lara.

Not important, just a thought…

I would like to suggest an additional widget in the trade window that gives the total (NPC-trade) value of the goods offered, similar to the one for total tria offered. With the quality based pricing system, this could help to lower confusion and make trade and economy flourish. The obvious but neglectable downside is that players could abuse this to identify an enchanted items value without finding an NPC merchant. A solution to that problem could be found when thinking about a feature to identify such items (based on intelligence, dweomer detection, factions with merchants or whatever).

Goto NPC , Pay for Drawing Lessons.

Skills Tab under Jobs shows previous Drawing +green temporary level.

when quitting game and reloading, it shows correct normal value of total drawing level.

After getting the quest from Roya go to Brado and tell him “You might find this useful to you.”. He will not answer (or rather the anwser is empty) and you can not continue the quest.

When i open dialouge with NPC I get the speech option to hand in the 3 plat steel maces of high quality.

I get no information in the NPC chat box on the left.
I do get an error message in the Standard Chat box

You have too few plat steel mace.

I have tried a stack of 3 , 3 single maces
and I have tried manually giving 3 plat steel maces.

All attempts have failed to complete the quest

While at harnquist in Hydlaa I am able to target creatures in the arena.

very confusing and weird.

Suggestion

Add low base damage and fire damage to the torch.

Currently. you get an error message when trying to attack with the torch.

Put a sack on the ground
put a torch in the sack
picked up the sack.

Receive warning that I should not leave 1 torch here a few minutes later

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.

Add a better way to search for icons. clicking through each individual icon in a long list is fairly annoying for some of the larger categories, and there are several icons that are blank so it’s not always clear there are more icons after that. Being able to see more than one icon at a time/being able to filter by name or type (ways for magic, weapon types for weapons, tools, music, decorations etc.) or having more categories with shorter lists would also be helpful.

On some player created books, the text is misaligned, particularly on higher page counts. Sometimes the text overlaps the page number at the bottom, and if “-” is use as a divider, it runs off the page to the right rather than wrapping like the rest of the text.

Possible addition of the ability to teleport all PC’s enrolled in an event at once to avoid accidentally grabbing a passer by with the area option.

1. Ability to teleport to the player from the petition window
2. Player side: /petition should open the petition window with a short introducing text (in another text window?) how to use the petitions (not to post wishlist items there, how to use (possible) categories..)
3. There should be a drop-down menu for selecting a category [Not Specified; Movement; Bugreport; Name; Event; Harassment; Quest; Miscellaneous] to classify the report. This could be used for statistical purposes post-process as well.
4. A button to mark the petition as URGENT which will add a parseable <star><star> URGENT<star><star> (<star> = *)to the header of the petition so our post-processing tools (aka gmbot) can forward/poke outside the game. (This is important!)
5. Before the petition is finished there should be a preview to check everything again, to make last changes.
6. As long as the petition is unassigned the button shows “claim”, once claimed the button shows “release” to unassign the petition again.

Request from  FS#3092 :

“In the GM petition window, there should be a button ‘Guidelines for petitioning’ and when you click it, it gives just that. Guidelines for petitioning.

I recently filed a petition and didn’t know what to include, what was superfluous, whether it was too long winded or not, etc.”

Request from  FS#3101 :

“We need enhanced petition system to allow adding several notes and note titles, as well as ability to review closed petitions.
The ability to add several notes to a petition would also help us handle an issue, then log off, but leave notes for other GM’s to review what we have done and pick up / complete.”

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.

I have often experienced that people come close to my character, trying to interact with me without trying to use tell. So they do not get that I am actually away, they may just assume that I am or (in the worst case) think I am rude because I am ignoring them. So what is needed is a way to show another character the own away and-/or sleep-status. Though I am not quite sure which would be the best way to do so.

Here are some possibilities:
- add “away” or “sleeping” to the players label when one moves the mouse over another character
- This status should be shown always, no matter if the user has activated the display of name or name/guild in options. Or at least there should be an own setting for it, in case somebody absolutely do not want to know about this status.
- To make it a bit more icly, don’t separate between “sleeping” (activated via “/sleep”) and “away”. In both cases use “sleeping” as a players status.
- A possible extension could be to set auto-sleeping like on irc. Say, the user hasn’t done anything for half an hour, he is automatically set to “sleep”-status.

I think this would help to avoid confusion like what I described above.

Related to FS#2667

It would be convenient if you were to do a /who Timmothy and I had autoreply on it would return

Timmothy [Away] Guild

Currently, I find the /away command rather useless, as you’d have to /tell the person who’s away, not knowing for sure if they’re even away. But with it in the /who, you can find out if someone is away, then send a /tell to find out the reason/how long.

Related to FS#2436

The console says you received 4 circles, but the wallet won’t update until you complete another quest. Comnpleting Harnquist is Hungry for example says another 4 circles in console, and wallet updates to 8 circles.

Approaching Stalg does nothing to the quest, can’t complete.

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