PlaneShift

In Crystalspace based PlaneShift it posted to group chat.

On getting teleported while sprinting almost fell off a steep abyss. Could have brought my char into death realm.

Might be a good idea to have a teleport freeze the char for a second or two so as I player have a good chance to react to the location change.

Damola looks at the Pterosaur at the Pterosaur handler in Amdeneir and feels sadness.

She thinks: “Oh, my where have those grand Pterosaur from the old days in Yliakum have gone?”

Roleplay aside: I really preferred the old look of the Pterosaur with spread out wings. The smaller PSUnreal pterosaur does not look like it can carry a large Kran.

I sat Damola down on a char in Kada El. I held “Z” key for that, cause tapping did not work for the char I was aiming at.

Damola sat down. However she stood up every now and then, I think it was for idle animation.

This is with PSUnreal 0.7.35!

Yay for the new Global chat!

I prefer to have all chats in one big chat log. However global chat is not marked as global inside the log file. Like this:

(some time) [chat] Damola: This is global chat!

Would be nice to have “[global]” or some other marker like this in there.

Same goes for NPC chatter and so on. Currently all messages are marked with “[chat]” which is not all that helpful for searching around in the file.

As subject says: /me in group chat goes to main tab. In Crystalspace based PS it went to group tab.

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

Great that PSUnreal now scrolls down when someone types in a new messages.

However IMHO that should only happen if chat was at the last message. In case the player scrolled up to re-read older messages, it should not jump down on each new message as otherwise the player would have to scroll up again and again and again in case many new messages are appearing in a short time.

Zooming in on the character does not center on character.

Instead is zooms to a point right of the character so the character is zoomed out of view to the left hand side.

I think that has to do that the character, in this case a female Nolthrir, is not centered in view. From the left border of the PSUnreal window, maximized to Full HD resolution in windowed mode, it is about 855 pixel to Damola’s right hand when she looks into the camera. From the right hand border to the left hand, again with Damola looking into the camera, it is about 990 pixel, according to a screen ruler program.

What I think is happening here is that PSUnreal actually zooms in on the center of the view, but Damola is not there, but somewhat to the left from the center.

I also tried it in windowed mode with a resolution of just 1280×800 pixels. Still the same, Damola is not in the center. Same goes with full screen on Full HD resolution. Or windows mode with 1600×900 pixels. It does not seem to depend on the resolution.

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.

Over numerous days my character has left items on the Gug altar. After un-guarding them with /guard they are checked and seen not to be guarded by the character anymore. Upon return on a subsequent login they are found to be guarded by the character again. The same items have been un-guarded several times with the same result.

When one kills a Dark Rogue in the BD Mine after having it chase one down towards the main corridor they fall to the ground and then float away. Even after catching up with them one is informed that they are too far away to be looted.

The range seems to be when they are out of range to call for help.

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.

Hello,
I would like to propose providing a full map and compass at the start of the game instead of making it something you need to build or quest for. The map should show the current location of the player when opened and the direction they are facing. The map will only have major locations such as cities, towns, and camps but will also include unlockable locations such as caves. I feel some kind of map/mini-map is a common feature in most games and it will help retain new players since they will have basic directions at the start of the game. Thank you for your consideration.

Please add this feature to the unreal version. I prefer the pointer/camera to be controlled like a plane in the game. If I move the mouse down, the camera will go up. Thank you.

Please allow additional rows for the shortcuts as well as more shortcuts per row. I utilized shortcuts quite a bit in the legacy game and I liked the ability to have small icons with a ton of shortcuts. This will probably need to be a setting to input the total number of rows and the number of shortcuts per row. The icons would need to scale to fit. Thank you for your consideration.

My characters race is Kran and I have noticed that my character does the neck stretch animation while mounted.I recommend to have some kind of check while mounted so the idle/standing animations aren’t triggered. Maybe only when the character is standing and idle for a certain amount of time. In addition, I have noticed my character and npcs randomly doing the treading water animation.I am not sure if it is planned but it seems out of place.

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

The old application clearly stated which skills can be trained by simply showing you them listed in the dialog.

Now you’re getting list of all skills and let’s take Percival Hawthorne for example:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/11TT9POMLeO0WOf9he84foTY5Xaju2eUj/view?usp=sharing

What we see is:
- list of all skills
- some progress bar right under the skill
- some progress bar in the right part of the box
- if you try to hover on this, we can see it marked “tbd” which doesn’t make it any less defective.

What we should see:
- list of skills the NPC can actually train you (the current list needs to be filtered)
- the cost of the training both in tria and PP (the progress bar on the right should be simply replaced with a button

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

(I DETECTED IT ON OLD PS, DELETE THIS IF IS NOT APLY TO NEW ENGINE)

THE BOOK DRINK OF THE DOME HAS ERRORS:

DOUBLE SENTENCES LIKE:
COMBINE MUG OF HOT WATER, SCOOP OF STRIMPOTOR, 4 DASH POWERED BREAD RISES, MUG OF HOT WATER, SCOOP OF STRIMPOTOR, 4 DASH POWERED BREAD RISES INTO…..

USES A 0 (CERO) IN SENTENCES LIKE:
0 LIQUID BREAD RISES

Just an FYI but the info being posted on the calendar for the dev meetings has a typo. Under Content, second sentence the Word developers is typed Devevelopers.

Last paragraph: kra has no gender therefore the he’s should be changed to kra’s.

The kran looks at the written page, tilting his head a bit and scratching the top with his left hand. - “Well, I never been a novelist, but that should do it, I guess.” He stands up from the giant crystal table, picks a thick cloak and looks outside the window of his sculptured stone house. He concentrates a bit and thanks to his magic vision, he reaches the Hydlaa plaza. - “mmmm… there is still much more to do, but things are surely getting better. Time for some magic!”

Banded Mail Armor stores in MA category, trains MA but the description reads HeavyArmor under the weight/size/quality. So can we get it changed to read MA please.

I would like to have the option to buy back item(s) i sold to a npc as precaution for accidental sales.
Its a common feature in other games and would fit PS very well too.

Questions for implementation:
- Should the list be global or npc specific? (buyback only where you sold it)
I tend to make it npc specific as it makes sense and would prevent abuse (e.g. for transportation).

- Add a timer how long the buyback of a sold item is aviable? Its probably easier to add and lighter on ressources to keep a fixed global item amount then adding a timer.

- How many items should be stored to be aviable to buy back? In my opinion a global maximum of 10.

- Should there be an additional fee for buying an already sold item back? I’d say it would make sense. The NPC-buy price of the particular item could be used, since the calculation is already implemented.

- How does it fit into the UI? It could be added in the BUY-from-npc list of the particular NPC. It would only show up when there is something aviable to buy back, similar to how the SELL-to-npc list handles it now.

Any thoughts or ideas?

The Dirghir signpost, hpmhutt (floating plate) X 3, Lintel (floating stone staircase) are all out of place on the map. They are all floating in the sky.

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.

Pretty much says is all. Possibly depends on  FS#5366 

Venalan will understand :)

1) For damage capped spells, sliding the power bar above the point where max damage is produced, mana cost is over-charged against the character, in addition to lowering success chance and increasing casting time more than appropriate.

2) If the kill shot (magic) produces more damage than needed to finish off the target, full mana cost is charged even if not needed.

I think it would be more appropriate if the mana cost was down-scaled to the net effect:
- if target only has 30 hit points left, a 60-point damage spell should only charge half the mana
- if target only needs 5 hit points to be fully healed, a 60-point healing spell should only charge 1/12th of the mana cost
- for area spells, calculate against sum effect on all impacted targets.
- if you’re going to cap damage, should also cap mana cost and not over-penalize in success chance and cast time when the slider is set too high

Where I’ve referenced the magic power slider above, same should be true for spell commands that explicitly have a power value
- i.e. “/cast 90 Taste of Death”

Justification: The mage should be able to determine if a “light touch” will suffice, but players have no way to turn down magic power to improve success chance and/or reduce mana cost and casting time.

Taking this a step further, practice and experience perhaps should be similarly down-scaled, with the possibility of giving none if no actual effect is the result (this would impact spam casting for power-leveling).

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?

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.

In the current state, if you have focus in the text box of the chat, none of your shortcut hotkeys work, even if they’re mapped to keys that do nothing in the chatbox, such as F1-12, Ctrl, Alt, Tab, Pause, etc.

I’m filing this as a bug report, because either this should be “fixed” so we can map shortcuts to such keys so they will still work while chatting, or the team can decide this is “not a bug” and close it.

The “fix” therefore, is to trap only those keys that chatbox can deal with, and forward anything else to the shortcut processor, so while typing in chat W A S D would be trapped in chat, and F3 would fire the shortcut it’s mapped to.

When you trade with and NPC and it is walking, it won’t stop, and you will no longer be able to buy or sell anything from it, since it will be far away from where you started to trade…

Scrolling with the mousewheel does not work if the mousecursor is over one of the listed buffs.
It works only if the mousecursor is besides or between the buffs.

If you delete everything in the boxes and click the save button, the commands are back after relog.
It seems there must be at least one character in the box to get it saved.

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.

now that we have the lake populated with plants and some fishes. i am making a proposal for a kelp bed, seaweed bed, the long bladderwrack that we have in small amounts dotted around, and an area that has algae floating on the surface, with a surround to keep it in the one place. the kelp, and bladderwrack, should be harvestable for nolthrir trading to places that cook, or even to traders (both wandering and in cities)

also i propose a village within the area of the central island, that is on land as well as within the water. the design of the village should look like either a coral reef or large shells. close to the island, there should also be a cave system which i am working on a quest for, and some new monsters for that particular cave system. the caves should really be extensive so that navigation is not easy.

having tested one fix, i decided to check if i am able to climb out of the hole on the other side of the road into the desert at the rear of oja. i managed to get to /pos 566110.25 -393981.34 10081.11 where it then becomes too steep to continue the climb out.

the signpost that is supposed to point to the derghir village is floating in the air in ojaroad 1

/pos 343155.47 -335075.34 8986.41

it is also not pointing in the correct direction.

there are a couple of sign posts that stand together and are floating high enough to crawl under them at

/pos 294108.56 -339394.34 10933.02

in ojaroad 2 i decided to check the cave and on going into it i found part way to the left in the cave a velnishi tail movinf with the rest of it within the wall.

coords are ojaroadcave01 /pos -356053.56 279411.28 6022.86

the tail actually comes out and back into the wall.

serpent gobbles are supposed to patrole the river irfon on both banks with a sleeping area and fishing area close to /pos 400650.50 -327828.62 7508.37. at present they simply stay in one place unless you attack them. they then move and attack back. in legacy, they would attack regardless of your strength against them.

tavern de kadel has 3 npc’s stuck in the doorway to the kitchen, on the inside. pathing needs adapting so they leave to go where they are supposed to be
