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…

Objective: Let mages dial down the power to suit their needs of the moment, and accordingly the mana cost, time to cast, improved success chance.

The /cast command should accept power values from -99 to +99

The power slider should center at zero and sliding left should dial down to -99 and sliding right should dial up to +99

Perhaps -50 to +50 would work better?

Perhaps practice and experience should be dialed down accordingly as well?

when I casted Prayer.

it reapeats the following for each target affected
you sing a prayer,healing everyone who can hear you for 176 points

the spell blessed litany lists all the players affected
you sing a litany, healing %player for XX points and XX stamina

This happens also in Legacy.

Since the update to 5.9, the textures and shaders when in town seem to be either missing or messed up. The lighting in some areas makes Chars and NPCs look like they’re wearing TV static. I’ve checked the drivers for my graphics card (ATI Radeon 3100 in a Toshiba Satellite Laptop), and they are up to date. Please see the attached screenshots, and if any more info is required, I will be happy to provide.

Thank you for your time and attention. ~Timil~

when i try to register for the forum the last question is broken: what is the name of the underground version of the stalactite?
the answer should be stalagmite. (so far i tried several typos on both stalagmite and stalactite).

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…“

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.

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

Entering the doorway to the Dark Rogue hideout in the Abandoned Mine is nigh impossible. I had to crouch-roll several times to go past the doorway. (The other direction, out, works smoothly)

The wooden door to the little chamber behind the hideout is no longer clickable. /ability detect secrets didn’t do anything obvious either.

If the new “NPC DIalog” is enabled, and you have an NPC targeted (possibly from an earlier quest dialog), you suddenly stop if you move far enough away from this NPC.

Probably losely related to PS#5629

In Legacy PlaneShift, the default movements are:
W = Walk forwards
S = Walk backwards
A = Turn to the left until keypress ends
D = Turn to the right until keypress ends

However in PSU, the movement is as follows:

W = Walk forwards
S = Turn 180 degrees and then walk forwards (towards the camera)
A = Turn 90 degrees left and then walk forwards (at 270 degrees from camera)
D = Turn 90 degrees right and then walk forwards (at 90 degrees from camera)

This is incongruent with legacy movements, but also complicated by the requirement to use the mouse for both UI interaction and movement concurrently.

It may be that this is a result of the absence of a ‘third-person follow’ camera, but behaviour should follow that of legacy.

When a player character is within the interaction range of an NPC, a mark (label) of some sort should appear above that NPC if they are offering some new or repeatable quests (! not some information for those already running !) for that particular character at that particular moment.

Should be optional as a turn-off or turn-on, depending on the default chosen by designers. In any case, and as with any other label, players should retain the option of not seeing it, if it spoils their fun or ruins their immersion somehow.

The reason for this request: drastically increased amount of questing chains ingame, and the absolutely unhealthy and immersion-breaking amount of mouse-clicking on the same NPCs the game now requires.

Noticing a sign above someone's head is OOC, of course, but clicking a mouse button on someone's model, or getting an aggressive red "…has no quest information for you" line floating in mid-air is equally OOC'ish.
On the other hand, seeing no mark above someone's head would cause neither irritation nor disappointment (while futile mouse-targeting and mouse-clicking, when done repeatedly, invariably produces both of those negative effects).
The marks would also provoke reasonable curiousity about available quests, hopefully enticing new players into doing more of them.

I know this request is somewhat of a long shot, but assuming that the engine is going to be considerably revisited this summer, I decided to submit it anyway.

[Edited for clarity, and also to separate it more from PS#4798. That older one would 'make the game easier' indeed, while what I suggest would only eliminate excessive mouse actions.]

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.

after you'd exhausted to move while riding, and you've unmounted and dismissed your pet, you can't move until client restart.

How to reproduce:
1. mount your pet
2. ride on it while you exhausted to move
3. run shortcut:

/unmount
/pet ID, dismiss

4. you see your physical stamina is full and you can't sit or move anywhere.

PS: if you is not exhausted to move, this bug not occurs.

I've just tested some Pet commands (by using a summoned familiar) and the following commands don't seem to reach the familiar NPC:
/pet [name,] assist
/pet [name,] guard
/pet [name,] run
/pet [name,] walk

Please note the Minion behaviour used for pets is using almost the same data in SVN. The steps I used to replicate the bug:
1. summoned a familiar
2. issue a command /pet [name,] follow/stopattack/stay/run/walk
3. use the /info command to know the last perceived command.

When reaching step 3 the info command should show something like that:
(12:08:36) [System] >Last perception: ownercmd:stopattack
instead for the above commands an error message is outputted (just like the command was wrongly typed or isn't recognized).

By using the percept command on the NPC like /percept ownercmd:run the behaviour is correctly run and works as expected.

Also please note that assist/guard commands appear in the help.xml file while the new run/walk don't.

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.

In the quest Lorytia Starhammer and the Clan reunion Lorytia mostly uses "ye" instead of "you". But the use is not consistent throughout the quest. You'd think that if she regularly says "ye" she'd not switch to "you" for a sentence or two in between, sometimes even switching back and forth within one sentence.

f.e.:
"That is very kind; I thank you. Here is the note: just tell him I sent you."

"Oh, I am sorry, you are still here… do you want to hear what happened?"

"I know ye worked very hard on your piece for the competition and you should have won. I take full responsibility for shortchanging you on the scores."

"He may have some means to get them prepared for you, but ye might make your journey faster if you have them on hand."

There might be more later in the quest, but I'm not done yet.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

After showing a newbie how to mine and harvest, they approached me the other day saying that they tried to harvest apples around the smithy but failed to apply what I taught them the day before.

It's probably for the fact that apples and their location are far older than the harvesting system s a whole, that I never thought about that before. And that apparently no one else has thought of including apples when setting up the harvesting areas?

I think one should be able to harvest apples just as all the other plants and fruits. If only for matters of consistency.

(I hope the area "Rules" is about right, please re-tag if inappropriate)

The engine code was clearly coded to not allow - so till a different decision is taken these npc are all bugged and should have the - stripped

Perhaps it's just me, but while Electrotouch is in effect there's a constant grating buzzing sound that just hurts like nails on a chalkboard.

This task collects the spell feature requests.

for every skill we get practices equal to time we spend while crafting but for repairing it is not true
the practices are equal to time the SECOND attempt repair the same item(so if i repair shield for 403 s i got 310 practices, second time i repaired it 310s )

would be great if we have two alternative way to training repairing: cheap that take longer and faster if we have to spend more cash
there are no bonuses for repairing complex items its only based how bad its damaged it seem

Many Skills are NOT yet implemented, which is perfectly understandable.

Please kindly HIGHLIGHT with another color (representing NOT YET IMPLEMENTED) which skills have NOT been worked on yet.

This will greatly help ALL players know which ones are full completed and which ones are not, especially NEW PLAYERS who won't waste time trying to figure out what has not been worked on yet.

Recommended Color: Bright Purple (easy to see and readable)

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].

Misrepresentation of the character in the Inventory
All my dwarves (dark haired) are affected
I use a self-compiled client (0.5.4/0.5.5)
The same on Windows (0.5.4)

I would like to request that saved quest notes be moved from client side into the book database. currently the quest notes are saved locally and are very vulnerable frequently getting deleted during client repair or re installs. additionally for players who have more than one computer these notes do not properly persist between clients.

considering that players are already allowed to write books and that text data takes up very little space there is really no reason NOT to move this feature server side.

another major issue with the current implementation is that the quest’s description is missing a lot of key information provided by the npc conversation such as names and locations.

a perfect example is the quest Masked Mistress where the description tells you the summary however does not include her brothers name which is given in the npc dialogue.

the lost of quest notes can easily render a quest impossible to complete without asking a person for spoilers or searching through game logs for the missing conversation.

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.

Could it be possible to add server version info (and possibly aso recommended/required minimal client version) to the server status page, i.e. to http://planeshift.zeroping.it/index.php?page=about_page for zeroping server? It could help to determine easily whether the update is required/recommended without need to start pslaunch when you don't use it to load the client.

When I received the account confirmation message in my inbox, and then clicked on the link, it asked for a verification code.
But there was no textbox to enter the code, and it wasn’t in the message sent. Fortunately the login turned out to work just the same - all mention of verification codes should be scrapped.

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

Critical error:

PSUnreal 0.7.23 (not yet in Reported Version)

In guild house one can run through chairs and beds and shelves.

Collision detected is disabled. Like for chairs and other items placed outside of the guild house.

Expected result

In guild house collisions are detected for items like beds, shelves, chairs and so on is enabled like in Crystal Space PS. So that these items are really solid for the char.

Ideally there would also be collision detection outside of guild house, together with a physics simulations, so that you cannot place 10 shelves onto one another easily, cause they would crumble down again. We did not have this in Crystal Space PS however, so for feature parity with CS PS collision detection inside guild houses is enough.

Suggestion

Add low base damage and fire damage to the torch.

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

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

very confusing and weird.

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

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.

Giving a Guild level the permission to edit gild points is not honoured. The flag is shown, but if someone of ther permitted group tries to edit the points of himself or another member he gets “you don’t have the permission…”

Additionally, editing permissions is not propageted to other online members. Ie. they do not see any changes in guild privileges.

Player can jump or fall onto another character and enter climbing animation and briefly stand on top of another character. Player then falls due to no collision detected.

Both player characters and NPCs are climbable.

My PC resolution is 4:3. When I talk to NPC, NPC dialogue is on the left of the screen and I cannot see whole NPC dialogue.

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

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

i have tried to set up shortcuts for a number of things, one issue was that an attempt to initiate nightvision was causing an attempt to fish instead. i moved the icons about but same issues occured. not i have cleared shortcuts and i have nothing working at all. all i get on attempts to set shrotcuts is a message saying ‘the key is already assigned’

tried refreshing game and still the same.

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.

In the old version, there was a small inventory without the character part. It could be useful for trading etc.

After a loss of connection to the server, and logging in the game again without closing the client, the client stops logging chat.
