I have looked through the forums but could not find anything on it except some old posts from years ago, hence a new topic.
At the moment, the maximum number of guild ranks is 9.
Would it possible, perhaps in the future, to increase this?
-
according to this link http://www.planeshift.it/guilds (http://url://www.planeshift.it/guilds) You dont need more than 9 ranks atm... :innocent:

Link requires a login.
Who is Talad to say what we need?
We need more ranks!
How else are we going to meticulously organize guild members?
I say we need about 49 more!
-
Well, I wanted to change ranks with certain members, and I noticed I only see the first 6.
I can change the names of all 9 ranks within the ingame Guild settings window,
but when I select a member and want to give him the 7th or 8th rank, I can't ('cause it isn't visible), see the attached screenshot:

I changed the theme of the client, but in both cases the result is the same.

You probably don't have enough members, Thedrish.
-
You can have as many ranks as you want. Just roleplay them.
-
The list does not has a scrolling slider next to it and it appears a graphical thing since the characters of the 5th rank are truncated one or two pixels from the bottom.
You probably don't have enough members, Thedrish.
We have more than 9 members.
And I fail to see what that has to do with being able to define and give any higher rank to a member.
-
My guild leader told me that you weren't able to assign people to a guild rank higher than the number of players you had. I wasn't sure if that's true, and I still don't know. I've tried doing what you are attempting now, and I've noticed that the menu is cut off. So it's more likely a graphical glitch.

Just to fix Mouli's wrong link: http://www.planeshift.it/guilds + http://www.planeshift.it/GuildsDetail
But I can't read any convincing reason there why 9 is a sensible maximum. It was decided once and is now probably limited by the database structure.
-
This topic might be confusing since two issues were addressed.
The max. of 9 ranks is clear to me and sufficient for the time being.
The real issue is that I am not able to assign certain ranks.

Thank you for confirming my problem :thumbup:
Now looking for a way around it ;)

You are not able to scroll the list e.g. using the mousewheel? A different skin may reveal scrolling controls for the list of ranks or use a smaller font to make them all appear in the given dimensions. Maybe contact Bonifarzia/Neeno/Moja about it so they will check their skin mods. And create a bugtracker task to have that fixed in the official skin too.

Just had a look at it with BoNeeSkinExt and indeed, the layout of the rank prompt is a bit odd. Actually, there was an expand button at the top right, which drops down the rank list including a scrollbar. Even though there is enough space for all ranks, only a few lines are shown, so scrolling is needed. I don't think the cfg data for prompts like this are in the skin, are they?
-
Thanks, I have filed a bugreport (http://hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray/index.php?task_id=6295).
Hopefully this is an easy fix.
-
I found out that if you use the 0.5.9.10 client, you can browse through the ranks (then you have a slider).
But you will need the servers.xml from 0.6.0 to make it work.

this is an old bug ... but most of the time a relog fix it

If from years ago you mean about 2-3 then yes BoT made this wish and we were told it was on the TODO back then. Not sure if it fell off yet it certainly gets/got my vote. Just to allow male and female gender in things (like Priest/Priestess for example) would require at least 18 even if 9 is technically a sufficient number of levels. There should definitely be more.
-
100% agree with 18 rank slots. There are so many ways to organize rank accomplishments/titles for guilds to keep members motivated to pursue them.
