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”.

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:

Sometimes I would which i could sort the storage list in a different way. Would it be possible to add bi-directional sort options in the storage/buy window?

I would suggest a specific hunting skill to “loot” animals instead of the current lottery system giving hides, claws, eyes, and whatnot.

Currently, anybody who can kill something can get enough parts by slaughtering a big amount of creatures. The skill would clearly separate the warriors from the hunters. Anyone can probably cut a rat’s tail, but skinning the animal is a bit more complex. And so on, some beasts will be more difficult to skin than others. Even proper meat is not obvious to extract from a carcass.

As a side effetc, maybe a killer could carry back the entire beast to a person capable of skinning/cutting it, if he doesn’t have the skill himself (it looks like some people can carry 400 kgs out there).

This incidentally could create a real market between players, akin to the economy currently existing around ore and weapons. Obviously, some PCs are going to be cooks, leatherworkers or alchemists.

This of course doesn’t apply to looting rogues, unless one can think of using human parts in some dark alchemy, or just carrying ears or heads as trophies.

As a heavy role-player, one of the most common annoyances encountered is that there is often no appropriate way to communicate to various groups of people.

Example one:

A group of five sitting around a table for an important meeting, talking in hushed voices. Currently the only option is to create a group for this, which is unrealistic, as people very close by should be able to listen in.

Example two:

Someone is standing in front of a crowd of people in the street, announcing something to them. Currently, the distance of /say is so tiny, that the only way to communicate to this group and have the people at the back hear you is to use /shout and have half the countryside hearing you.

Example three:

Sitting in the Tavern talking over a drink, not worried about your voice carrying. Currently, the distance of /say is so minimal, that half the Tavern will not end up hearing you. Using /shout would be considered very rude. No way to deal with this.

Solution:

/quiet - Speaking in a hushed voice to those nearby. Range limited to about 8 to 10 feet.

/say - Speaking in a clear, loud voice. Limited to a range of around 50 feet, which is quite a bit further than it carries to now.

/shout - Long range yelling. The current range of shouting would be fine.

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

This command has been on the wishlist (and also on the ToDo list for releases) since a very long time. I post it here in the hope it will be more visible to interested people to implement.
The idea of the command is to control an NPC completely, not just talk as them through /impersonate. However, since controlling the actual body of an NPC is extremely complicated, it would be much more convenient (also from GM side) to simply make it seem so to the player.

Thus a possible way to implement the /possess command:
The syntax would be

/possess [NPC_name|target]|reset

Issueing the command would have the following effects:

1. The GM is moved to the location of the NPC.
2. The NPC is renamed to “$originalNPCsurname_P” (family name is unaffected).
3. The GM is renamed to $originalNPCname and the original GM name is stored in an extra db field.
4. The label color of the GM is set to NPC (/setlabelcolor).
5. The NPC is /slid u 1000.
6. All scripts (most importantly movement) of the possessed NPC are temporarily frozen.
7. GM temporarily gets all traits of the NPC (original traits of GM are stored on db).
8. GM is /set invisible off.

Issueing /possess reset would have the reversed effects:

1. Possessed NPC is moved to the location of the GM.
2. The name of the GM is restored.
3. The NPC is renamed back to §originalNPCsurname.
4. Labelcolor of GM is reset.
5. Scripts of the NPC enabled again.
(GM is not moved).

It’s important that the status of NPC (possessed), name and traits of the possessing GM are stored on DB so that a possible server crash has as little impact as possible.

If one is possessing an NPC already and then tries to possess another NPC, it should automatically issue /possess reset before executing /possess otherNPC.
When possessing, it should give a warning that the path of the NPC might be disturbed if /possess reset is issued too far away from the original position.

As a final cut, resuming scripts of the NPC should be delayed for 2 more minutes, giving the GM time to switch back into possession without paths getting in the way. That way it is possible to possess two or more NPCs back and forth.

Loosely related to  FS#2297  and  FS#2352  – when a guild member is online, I’d like to see the name displayed in the Buddy List automatically, possibly with a slightly different color (e.g. sky-blue, or like the customizable guild chat color). This could be toggled via an option like: “[X] Add guild mates to buddy list”.

In order for the custom channels to be useful, they need a convenient interface. The need for typing /x before stuff isn’t terribly annoying, but also not terribly convenient. However, the biggest issue is that with multiple such channels, all talk gets mangled into one. The designation for the originating channel doesn’t help much in that case.

Therefore it would be nice to be able to create and assign custom tabs to channels, which would then function just like any of the built-in tabs. It would be even nicer if that arrangement could be stored, which would go very well with the auto-joining of custom channels proposed elsewhere.

Goal of this feature request: To provide an alternative to the numerously unneeded clicking and dragging through the addition of additional options.

Possibilities:

1. Allow all targeting equipment to be targeted and add short cut commands as discussed in http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=30727.0;topicseen and http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=28284.0 .

1B. Add a /place command that would place a specified number of a specified item into a targeted container.

1C. Add a /remove command that would remove a specified number of a specified item from a targeted container.

1D. Add a /combine command that has the same functionality as the combine button that is on the right click menu.

2. Have the stock casting containers automatically convert large stacks of molten ore to the largest possible unit. (IE: A stack of 63 Molten Iron would yield a stack of 6 Iron Stocks and 3 Iron Ingots.)

2B. Add a button and command to Stock Casting that will toggle that will allow the user to cast only ingots.

2C. Allow the user to combine large amounts of objects at a time so long as the proper amounts of objects are present. (IE: 81 Iron ore and 9 Coal ore would yield 90 Molten Steel. Also, you could combine 10 sword handles with 10 sword blades to quickly put together 10 swords.)

3. Add a key to be pressed and held that would allow the user to pick up an entire stack.

I believe that there has been discussion of several other alterative on the forums.

Once you’ve maxed your stats, currently there’s no more use for progression points/XP. It’s just an endless counter going up and up and up.

How about:

• adding PP prices to the money you have to pay in special attack quests? (”Sorry, but you don’t have enough experience to learn this, come back later and I’ll show you how it’s done.”)
• having to pay in PP more than in Tria for the temporary knowledge bonuses?
• consuming progression points if you craft something with a special modifier (and in turn only allowing you to do so if you have some to spare)?
• add more temporary buffs (for example for stats or more directly as bonus HP/MP, increased HP/MP regeneration) that are paid for only in PP or with much lower tria costs.

I am aware that it probably requires quite some additions to the quest scripting and other places and is by no means a trivial change, but I thought it may add to the medium- to long-term development deliberations. To me progression points feel like a loose end, now that they lost their purpose in skill training.

Example found in all Alchemist items, example Alchemist Freezer

Error on console is:

Error in ><let> bindings<: Given a NULL iScriptableVar* for >RightItem<.

The scripts are run through : ApsCharacter::InvokeAttackScripts()

The first thing is to execute this script part:
   RightItem=Attacker:GetItem(0);
   QuaLevel=RightItem:Quality/50;

 In a similar case with GetItem(0) but outside of <let> we get MathStatement::Evaluate() with RightItem=nan , it works.

the pots are all out of place. wrong angles and height.

The nightvision effect (cool stuff BTW) does not actually improve sight when inside a very dark buildinig, e.g. the Amdeneir tavern.

(One can of course argue in terms of realism, that nightvision needs residual light to work, but I counter that with the fact that any publicly accessible building should have more than enough residual light. – It should have enough light not to require that ability in the first place!)

It would be nice to be able to set up camps for roleplay purposes.

Since there is bronze (and more and more people work with it), and there is also zinc besides the tin to possibly combine with the copper - make brass available.
What other use was there for zinc anyway?
The actual mix should be similar to bronze, with zinc in place of tin to go along the copper.

Would also be great if there were finally possibilities to craft something out of those alloys…

Upon completion of the without a way quests ( In my case Crystal Way ) govell sends me to Levrus log:

[NPC] Govell Mihdren says: This will prove the mastery you gained in the Crystal Way.
(06:14:52) [NPC] Govell Mihdren says: Make a good use of it, Resildren.
(06:14:55) [NPC] Govell Mihdren says: And take this.
(06:14:58) [NPC] Govell Mihdren hands you an amulet.
(06:15:00) [NPC] Govell Mihdren says: Bring it to Levrus, one final lesson awaits you there.

but Levrus will not accept it, to make sure I completed my leveling (200) and returned, and he will still not accept it?

I’ve talked to other masters of the other ways and this seems to be a global problem, is this just not implemented yet, or is it a bug?

When the GSoC was successful enhancing the tribe code, it could be interesting to create one or two of Kormi which try to avoid approaching players but stay together.

That may require organising a witch hunt / drive hunt as strategy, which may support grouped activities.

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

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.

When I walk forward using W, I need to use mouse-look to turn around while walking. Walking a winding stair, I need to keep turning and turning while walking … until suddenly the mouse pointer left the game window. (Running the game in Windowed mode.)

The mouse pointer should not move in the game window while I press a mouse key to look around.

I think the command ‘/attack’ is bugged. I have tried many ways to check weather the bug is there or not, like I waited for the timer on the top left to finish before clicking for another slash of attack, tried to be carefull that i may not be pressing the right click, and ofcourse using Q & E to get the right attack skill. But still many times i get the system message “Command Not Recognized. Use /Help to see the list of available commands”, it cud be like you missed the target, the target dogged your attack etc. Please see that wheather its really a bug or not, if a bug then please Debug it. Thank you.

When shooting rogue with bow and arrow, suddenly rogue is dead, although standing and his health still 50%.
Right click after tabbing out of combat to loot. loot icons and others show up, but then nothing is clickable.
KB works, can call inventory, etc. Pointer shows and moves. no ability to click anywhere.

I had heard that over a skill threshold, repairing weapons/armour does not reduce maximum quality.
Yet I repaired a weapon with 201 skill (with jewellery) and dropped from max quality of 200 to 199.

Maybe the Jewellery isn’t working properly, as without it, I would be under the threshold I had heard about.

Also Bones attribute was not removed, the whole reason I repaired it at 197/200.

Maybe this is as intended, but if Bones cannot be removed, then getting a Masterwork Bones Platinum Sword from your first and only run through of the Keen Edge quests (currently not completable) is xtremely bad luck after the time it takes to get 100 in sword (even more in UE).

The quest Right on the Mine uses a quest item named Hamel Provision and at one point it’s supposed to be given to Gardr. Currently that does not happen. The quest will progress, but the quest item remains stuck in the inventory. It can be placed into storage, but otherwise there’s no way to get rid of it.

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.

I am not entirely sure on how this bug is best described.
as the duel system is not releasing the duel flag currently.

But I think while the main duel is active you cannot charge cast a spell using the hotkeys against your opponent while in the default navigation mode.

but you can cast charged spells using the hot keys after pressing TAB and entering combat mode.

I will retest this bug after the duel flag bug has been resolved.

Snow and rain happen inside guild houses. Lighting also appears be affected by day/night cycles. Not sure if this is related to FS#7424 - guild house: no collision detection inside guild house.

I was trying to do the Jolik’s Letter quest. My inventory was full when he handed me the letter, and I dropped. By the time I dropped something from my inventory, the letter was gone. Now I am stuck on this quest.

May be related to  bug 3712 .

Adding 3 lumps of butter to the Preparation Table next to Orchibaly in Oja, seems to cause the server to crash. One and two lumps at a time work as expected.This has happened a few times today, but it may be possible that a DEV is also working on something at the same time.

When I learned about the new transformation mode I took it upon myself to clean up our guildhouse.

In the process I removed many old items from the map and stored them in containers instead.

While I did this occasional crashes happened, which on returning seem to have deleted items stored in these containers.
I have lost roughly 70% of player generated/crafted items, some of historical value this way, as well as many player crafted weapons and armours of highest quality.

A very alarming issue.

If my asumption is correct the server automatically deletes any item that it suspects to be involved in crashes. While this maybe desired behaviour in terms of the technical side of things, in terms of a persistent game world this is REALLY, REALLY bad, if true.

When inspecting player characters (via right-click and eye-icon) the paragraph at the end of the description tab that comes with the standard stats and weapons/mnagic skills estimate is missing for SOME characters.

An example being “Duergar Melayk”.

# How to reproduce

Enter some text followed by “]”

# Actual result

PSUnreal clears the chat line

# Expected result

“]” appears on chat line.

# Use case

Use [] for OOC comments in /tell or (rarely) in main.

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.

affected version: 0.7.38 (couldn’t be set yet as the version)

When trying to drop an item on an occupied container slot, the item remains “in limbo”, i.e. nothing happens.

This affects crafting severly:
Shift-clicking a stack placed into a container, you have always been able to “fan out” stacks of items in containers for crafting processes that would individually change quality (thereby averaging the random factor of the process).
This is no longer possible.

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”.
