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 using an enchanter my character is digging or lunging.

This should be the same animation as spell casting IMO.

It says the pet has successfully targeted the creature , but will not attack with /pet attack. This is on One-Eyed Rats that can be killed by player, shows the same error on Kikiris mind you, that can’t be killed by player.

A player that is mounted on a Rivnak or Drifter cannot be targeted, for actions such as trade, or even emotes.#

It doesn’t make a difference whether you click player geometry or the mount’s, you always end up selecting the mount over the player.

Even if one could argue for trading that it might be inteded (which I don’t think is overly realistic, since you can hand someone on a mount a loaf of bread), itt would be very strange to greet someone’s pet instead of the owner, when passing on the street, wouldn’t it?

(Selecting high priority since this seriously hampers RP supported with game-mechanics such as emotes)

Working with Stock and Working with Rare Stock books are missing the recipes for heating ingots/stocks in the forge in 0.7.39.

After dropping several valuable items through world geometry without a chance to get it back I’ve got an idea to add a confirmation dialog for drop action.

(16:59:00) [chat] >You cannot cast Fist of the Volcano on Eagle Gobble Hut. You can only cast it on living enemies.

If you can destroy the hut, it should also be possible to apply destructive magic. A living body should be the greater obstacle for magic to overcome when compared to inanimate objects.

The forge at Gardr’s smithy does not offer the usual interaction button when opening the container window. There are simply no buttons.

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.

after speaking with Sysial you are teleported to the dryken plane instead of the proper location

For crafting where the container automatically starts working when an item is placed in it (stock casting tank, forges, furnace, skillets etc), allow the “prepare” button to place multiple items in at once either through selecting a quantity at the prepare stage as a stack and/or adding a “fill container” option for things to be placed until all the container slots are full/the player runs out of the required materials.

ex. When casting stocks, after clicking prepare, it moves the first set of sludges into the stock casting container, but then if I click prepare again while the item is still in the container, it won’t let me place another item until it’s removed even though I can move another stack of sludges in manually. it would be nice to be able to automate that as it will remove a lot of clicks and reduce the time needed to process materials.

My drifter just ate a stack of Terevan Wine Bottles that I planned to temporarily put on the ground in order to mount.

This seems inappropriate (not to mention a costly habit)!

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.

In a quest paying a NPC through a dialog box while having no money results in the following message: "<npc> does not need that".
That seems wrong.

The currently used texture “chest.dds” does not match the UV map of the model for the “Chest” item (animated chest, repeatedly opening and closing).

None of the present textures are compatible to this model.

Either create a matching texture, or replace the model by a supported one.

I must say that this quest is quite disappointing. After a promising and very good beginning the whole story is cut short in an odd way. I think the plot would deserve some development as the beginning is really good.

The message presented when looting a dead NPC with nothing to loot is “… has nothing to be looted”.
While this is valid English, it is more natural to say “… has nothing to loot”.

It’s stupid to not be able to trade (through right clicking the character and clicking ‘trade’) while over encumbered (having to sit down because you’re too heavy). But yet you can just make a shortcut or type /trade and it works.

So my point is, why?

(note: if this task has already been posted and discussed, I did search ‘Trade’ and ‘Trading’)

The leaver leg armor and appentice robes on Enkidukai clamod isn’t working. this might be the same for all enkidukai’s.

it would be nice for bards if they had hats where passers-by could throw some tria in. The hat item would serve as a money container as well as a piece of clothing. The advantages to just throwing tria on the ground are that people can’t just steal the money and it would look nicer.

Client recieves plain text data regarding many things configuration:

<traits><trait id=”10” next=”0” loc=”FACE” mesh=”308” mat=”321” tex=”322” shader=”“/><trait id=”346” next=”0” loc=”HAIR_STYLE” mesh=”328” mat=”0” tex=”0” shader=”0.63,0.32,0.17”/><trait id=”382” next=”0” loc=”HAIR_COLOR” mesh=”0” mat=”0” tex=”0” shader=”0.52,0.45,0.17”/></traits>

It would be better to handle the data this way:
compressed server side
stored compressed
sent compressed
client recieves compressed
client decompresses uses and stores on disk.

compared:
plain text - 1,1k
tar.gz - 0,4-0,5k

It happens for me always again after “opening” and closing nodes. Sorry, haven’t found a way yet to reproduce it every time. Might add some more information here once I find out more ;)

It dispalys the newly opened node above a previously already opened one.

GMail uses the + to denote email aliases: foo+bar@gmail.com delivers to the same GMail inbox as foo@gmail.com. The PS validation system rejects the + character client side, although it is permitted by the RFCs (see RFC5322 s3.2.3/3.4.1). The easy fix is to be much more liberal on the client about what is allowed in an email address, since we’ll be emailing a validation code to it anyway.

As the daytime progresses, each few minutes you see the shadows on the floor flashing, especially obvious near the Laanx temple and on the plaza.

It looks like the shadowmap is completely removed, then restored with a tiny delay. Might be necessary to display shadow states of different daytimes?

At least it is a lot less annoying than the repeated switching between several shadowmaps in earlier versions.

Essentially the same issue as http://70.32.40.136/flyspray/index.php?do=details&task_id=5579 except that the file in question is amb-day_forrest_4 This is happening in the outdoor area at the arena.

Fri May  4 19:13:58 2012, <src/plugins/common/soundmanager/data.cpp:167 LoadSoundFile SEVERE>
Fri May  4 19:13:58 2012, Can't load file 'amb-day_forrest_4'!

for now I added:

<Sound name="amb-day_forrest_4"       file="/planeshift/art/sounds/amb/day_forrest_3.ogg" /> 

after:

<Sound name="amb-day_forrest_3"       file="/planeshift/art/sounds/amb/day_forrest_3.ogg" /> 

Instead of directly opening the book copy text, it would be nice if a book showed a regular info window first. Title, the authors name, and generic book description. If a Read button were provided, that then opened the window with the book copy text, perhaps an event could be generated so there could be read and unread books in ones inventory. Being able to carry and inspect an unread book perhaps gives some interesting quest possibilities.

Any way to get MyPlane running on HTTPS? I am thinking before someone has a problem. Not positive on the category on this one, thanks.

The random weapons naming system is one of the excellent features of PlaneShift, and crystals have always been iconic to PlaneShift. Different varieties of mineral crystals produced at the mine sites. Some descriptors that would indicate quality on the crystals, like: Smoky, cloudy, occulted, clear, milky, flecked, fractured, et cetera. Smoky sapphire, occulted Ruby, et cetera. These could indicate grades of quality. Perhaps there should be a chance to pull extremely unique crystals of magical quality with two or more modifiers. I would not be surprised if this was already thought of, but I wanted to put it up here while it was in my mind.

Since NPCs move, Narwin visits Ervin Fromaad and must pass Grimal on his way. So it doesn't make much sense anymore that he can't visit him in person and request the token himself.

Nothing major at all, but I cannot change the severity. Is that up to the poster?

Anyway, just on the other side of the wall from Akk-Central -4.46 0.70 4.32, in the empty space, is a bit of grass floating around.

I have been playing around with the llvm/clang static source code analyzer (http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html) for a while, and thought it might be fun to run it on the planeshift source code (svn r8433). Even though especially the c++ analyzer is still viewed as beta quality at this time, the results are interesting and can be found here :

I made a char with a very short name (Min).
Everytime some says a word this name is part of (like “I’m coMINg home.”), the whole line
gets highlighted in blue.

I think the dungeon is darker at night. I need a torch then. This makes no sense.

Hi! As reported in "bug" (bug #5867) spell effects performance is pretty slow on Intel Sandybridge HD 3000 graphics. I understand that this may well be a driver / hardware limitation. Due to the extreme slowness its not easy to roleplay on events when other players cast effects, cause then basically I can not do anything anymore. Except for that the performance is quite nice for onboard gfx, enough for me at least, even at 1680x1050.

Cause of this I would like a way to reduce the quality of *just* the spell effects a bit. I found that I can disable them alltogether by setting shaders to "lowest". But any other settings for shaders doesn´t have any visible effect on performance. Also shaders to "lowest" worsens the other gfx as well.

I also learned I can disable spell effects altogether, by removing the *.eff files from effects directory.

What I would like now is a way to configure spell effects to reduced quality and (hopefully) improved performance. This may also be good for other users of old hardware.

Thanks,
Martin

First - It seems there is a delay in stamina measurment, so what can happen is that you are moving, getting low on stamina, you stop moving but even after that you can still get sometimes “You are exhausted” message. This is more a feature than bug, but I think it is important in this case. So now what happened:
I was riding a rivnak and got low on stamina. I continued riding and reached my target destination before I had actually run out of stamina, but I was very low at the time. I dismounted the rivnak and around this moment I got “You are exhausted” message. After I dismounted I couldn’t move - the game was saying that I was exhausted. I couldn’t cast spells or do anything that is prevevented when you are exhausted. However, the game was displaying I have full stamina (After dismounting a pet there is a small delay before your health and stamina values are updated to be on par with the current values.) and this did not change even after two minutes I was waiting. So the game still though I am exhausted - mounting again the pet did not help. Client restart helped of course.
I think that the problam may be somewhere between delayed “you are exhusted” message and after dismount stamina and health synchronization. It seems that when you receive in right (or wrong :) ) moment the exhaused message the synchronization after dismount fails in some way resulting in character being viewed as exhausted permanently.

I think, slots in all windows should not have quantity labels displayed then there is only one item.
It concerns inventory window (including equipment slots), a hotbar, container, exchange (could be), etc.

Most quests start with an intro and a confirmation for the player to accept the quest. For those that have skill requirements and/or time locks, instead of hiding the quest completely, perhaps it would be better to expose such quests when the character is otherwise qualified (e.g completed other quests in the chain) and do the skill / time check in the intro steps and have the NPC inform the character that they need to practice more before they can continue, or say something along the lines of "too busy right now, come back tomorrow". This way the player will know the quest is there, and get a hint of what they need to do. Going around and touching all the NPC's and finding nothing just feels like a bug when one knows there should be quests out there someplace.

I've done them…several times, and frankly I'm tired of seeing them offered. Could we have a setting for "Hide Completed Repeatable Quests" that we could enable to stop them form showing up? At least in one case, an NPC has enough repeaters that they show first and new quests are pushed to the 2nd page in NPC Dialog view. If one overlooks the page arrow, one might miss the other offerings.

Filed as Feature Request in Engine > Quest Dynamics…please move it if that's wrong.

It can be handy to have two separate “Suggest name” buttons for first and last name fields in character creation screen.

It opens an easy way to find a nice combination of first / last name for a new character.

Not all shortcuts from shortcuts window are in "Options→Controls→Shortcuts"
If you set/change a key in shortcuts window the key does not get set/changed in options window until you relog.

The following is not really a bug but more feature request
If you set a key you can set
LShift - RShift
LCtrl - RCtrl
LAlt - RAlt

But if you make key combos it will just turn to
Shift+key
Ctrl+key
Alt+key

Would it be possible to set
LShift+key
LCtrl+key
LAlt+key
RShift+key
RCtrl+key
RAlt+key

That will open up allot more possible key combinations.

Since you can set the sharps and flats for the overall piece of music, you should be able to insert naturals. Otherwise, if you need to cancel one of the sharps/flats for the key you are using anywhere in the music, your only alternative is to write in all the sharps and flats throughout by hand.

It would be helpful if measures were numbered.
It would be extremely helpful for writing music to be able to just play the last measures added. It would be useful for RP purposes, too, since that is how one often practices a piece… working on one section at a time, or you might want to share part of something you had written.

/pos: bdoorsin -180.54 19.71 -864.52

How to reproduce: Run into the area between the large boulder and the cliff face there.

What should happen: Your char should, at worst, have to /unstick out of it, or be respawned due to the map leak.

What does happen:

1. Your char (sometimes) gets ‘leaked’ off the map and starts to fall through it
2. As your char falls, they get put back in the normal map area because of the concavity of the cliff face below the path there.
3. Result: a DR trip, because your character goes “splat” at the bottom of the Bronze Doors canyon.

I was working on a batch of Liquid Bread Rise and kept getting “You are not sure what to do with this.” I realize this will probably be nearly impossible to reproduce so I’ll try to explain as best I can exactly what I was doing.

I had started by combining the ingredients (1 Foaming Water, 2 Pinches of Salt, 14 Scoops of Lard) on the preparation table, yielding Unmixed Liquid Bread Dough. Then decided to combine them in the wooden bowl so I could go straight to the mixing step. I had already combined 3 when I switched. I added the ingredients to the wooden bowl and combined, letting it automatically do the mixing step, and this worked fine. The I tried to mix the Unmixed Liquid Bread Dough I had previously combined on the table and that is when I got the “You are not sure what to do with this” message. As long as I combined the items in the wooden bowl and then mixed them I had no trouble. If I tried to put in previously combined Unmixed Liquid Bread Dough it gave me the error message. Several times I reflexively hit the Take All and Stack before it was mixed, and when I tried to put it back in the bowl and mix it I got the error message.
Eventually I had to stop and measure out more scoops of lard, which required switching my wooden spoon for the scoop, since I was also holding a Dagger of Seduction (and wearing a Merc Helm of Seduction, if that matters). After I switched back, I was able to mix the Unmixed Liquid Bread Dough without any trouble… for awhile. (I didn’t realize right away that was what made it work)
Eventually though the problem popped up again (when I prematurely grabbed the mix before it was done, and tried to put it back and finish mixing it, it said “You are not sure what to do with this”) Again, the problem resolved when I switched to measuring lard and back. This happened three times in all. I didn’t put together that it was when I switched tasks that it started working until the third time it happened, so I didn’t have a chance to try just switching tools to see if that was what was fixing it.

This task collects the crafting feature requests.

I would like to continue chatting while I load to a different map. Can the chat window become independent and on top of all windows?

This appears to be an option to have lines that appear in Main chat prefaced by origin e.g. [guild], [alliance], etc., provided a user has filtered messages from other chat tabs to appear in Main. However, it seems to work whether or not the option is enabled. Is this a bug or just deliberately no longer an option?

When a player summons a mount (creature to ride on), eventually the creature disappear depending on how high Empathy skill is.

When trying to use the RING Of SUMMON FAMILIAR again, it says it's depleted and can't be used.

Please kindly create an ALERT in the MESSAGE TAB of chat telling player how much time remaining is left to wait for the ring to be used again with a countdown and then a sound effect that reminds the player that magical energy is now regenerated in ring.
