Uadjet: Hello and welcome to the developer's Q&A!
Gonger: Happy New Year, everybody.
Mohonin: Happy New Year to you too and everybody
Resildren: Happy new year , and it is!
Thosor: Happy new cycle
Uadjet: Yes, Happy New Year!
Uadjet: I did a little shoveling, but not too much fortunately.
Gonger: I had promisd beer at the meeting once the pushup bug was gone. Help yourself, they are unguarded.
>Resildren picked up a Lager Beer Mug
Gonger: And of couse I have more :)
>Resildren raises a drink to Gonger before gulping it down. Cheers!
>Anysu cheers happily!
Mohonin: ah haa great thanks and cheers!!
Anysu: Thank you Gonger!!
>Mohonin picked up a Lager Beer Mug
>Karzela picked up a Lager Beer Mug
Gonger: The summaries of the previous Q&A meetings are now available in the forums.
Gonger: I am still a few event summaries behind, but these are harder to do.
Gonger: Also in the forum - General Discussion - a post about PR Strategy.
Gonger: Websites about commercial games tend to ignore PlaneShift, even if I contact them directly.
Gonger: No money for them in it, I guess.
Gonger: Instead they publish list of FREE MMORPGs that are not free at all, or only up to a certain point.
Gonger: Well, details in the post, all comments are welcome.
Uadjet: Okay, I suspect most of you are now aware of the new fishing minigame?
Thosor: yes, but the lakes need to be stocked
Dentritus: I noticed while testing the fishing that my jewelery change from a +12 to a +8 Bonus - did greater and major get mixed up during the transfer to PSUnreal
Uadjet: Well, marking out what lives in which body of water seems like a player-led thing to me.
Thosor: yes, minimum spoilers.
Resildren: yep we'll get it down eventually
Dentritus: Are the new fish used for anything yet?
Uadjet: I rather suspect that players are already taking notes.
Dentritus: already checked a lot of fishing locations
Gova: I was doing that, but then couldn't find a spot to fish in the Pool of Stealth. We just did that in the event, so I must have been doing something wrong.
Gova: I tested the baits, though.
Dentritus: you have to get close to the water of the pool of stealth
Thosor: not in it?
Dentritus: difficult at some spots to get close enough without falling into the water
Gova: And I couldn't make kikiri meat bait.
Anysu: I got close to pool water and even the river with two of my other characters and I could not bring fishing game up.
Resildren: yes even with the name changes pluse it's now a minigame?
Resildren: perhaps locations but i've yet to compare it
Anysu: Oh i made kikiri bait!
Gova: Oh, after testing the book seems to be in order of quality, with the last three giving the biggest boost.
Mohonin: today i tried the pond near gug, delver lake, irifon river the bridge and the fishing platform, and another water body little bigger than the pool of stealth but no fishing spot found there
Gova: You did? I keep getting goo, or whatever it was.
Anysu: Yeah I did get that kikiri bait.
Anysu: Book, knife, prep table and the meat.
Uadjet: Gonger has also mentioned that the pushup bug is gone.
Dentritus: Yes movement seems fixed, also had no helicopter bugs anymore
Anysu: Yet with that character that mad the bait, I could not get fish game to come up in any water I tried.
Resildren: rivniks ride again, and no helicopting for the win!
Dentritus: with your rod in hand?
Mohonin: Do less durability of the fishing pole has any effect on fishing?
Uadjet: So Talad has pretty well finished fixing the movement issues that prompted the change to a more recent version of the Advanced Locomotion Syste, and the bugs that resulted from that change.
Resildren: does that include the sitting backwards?
Dentritus: Yes, but had a little bit rubberbanding at times that I didn't notice before
Resildren: ( when mounting a chair?)
Dentritus: the double turn when using Z is still an issue
Uadjet: I think sitting backswards still happens. Unless he fixed it in a stream I didn't see.
Resildren: still happening to me
Resildren: i just got into the habit of rotating
Thosor: can't rotate
Anysu: I do not see myself sitting backwards when I use z
Uadjet: I noticed the rubberbanding too, but I wasn't sure if it was new, or caused by a known issue. That known issue being "hundreds of items in another instance in that area"
Resildren: hold down the middle mouse button and you'll need to move at least 40 % till you notice
Thosor: nope
Resildren shrugs works for me
Thosor: nope on linux or windows, amd or intel
Resildren: but then I'm not sure of your operating system, this is widbloz
Thosor: this is w10 atm
Resildren: your mouse controls been tweaked?
Thosor: middle mouse in settings?
Dentritus: works with w11
Resildren nods
Thosor: middle scrolls ok, but click doesn't rotate
Resildren: keep it clicked hold it down and rotate
Dentritus: click and move mouse to right or left
Thosor: nope
Resildren: odd
Thosor: i'll try different meese later.
Uadjet: And those who were at the event yesterday will have seen the new pet skins for Rivnak and Yulbar.
Resildren: i missed those
Uadjet: Those are additions, not replacements, and will be part of the pet advancement system.
Uadjet: Res?
Karzela: Just realized we no longer have to see the system messages telling us someone sits down or gets up.
Uadjet: Oh, I hadn't noticed that. Nice!
Karzela: Not ported yet maybe?
Resildren: yes, as we're starting the New Year I'd like to propsewe have a little party to celebrate, we can all meet at the old RCD for next weeks event and have a little fun? we allready have ale donated and while I'm a novice I can cook up some treats?
Resildren: be a great way to start the new year?
Uadjet: It sounds good to me.
Uadjet: I can help with snacks, especially with changing item names.
Anysu: Great idea! I probably have food in storage I could add. Probably not lot of same food, but variety?
Resildren: anything would help I'm trying to get my skills up to fish dishes
Resildren: with luck i'll get there soon
>Resildren picked up a Lager Beer Mug
Anysu: Or of some is similar looking maybe Uadjet can alter names of anything I have?
Gova: It doesn't take long to max cooking and baking, if you're in a rush.
Anysu: So it matches. Shrug
Anysu: I do have kegs of drinks!
Gonger: Too bad Damola is not here...
Gonger: When talking about that party...
Uadjet: The way kegs work is great. No book is required to portion them out, and no skill is required as the quality doesn't change.
Anysu: Think i have mead, wine and some ale.
Resildren: ohh we gonna have a party!
Anysu: Just pick a date and I will get the stuff to whoever needs it!
Resildren: all that booze who's gonna think about food
Resildren: looking at next Saterday event time
Resildren: I'm sure Uadjet will spice it up
Resildren grins
Anysu crosses paw claws hoping it will not be day have to work IRL
Resildren: call in sick
Resildren: thee's a flu going around
>Anysu cheers happily at Resildren!
Anysu: Not cheering about flu..
Anysu: BUT Party!
Karzela: Any idea if playing music will be happening in the future. I have plenty of music scrolls from legacy.
Anysu: Good question. I miss music
Mohonin: Karzela, those scores don't work in here PSU anymore
Resildren: that's a shame hope he can work that out sometime soon
Uadjet: Yes, that is an issue.
Anysu: Unless they can be altered somehow? Those scores?
Uadjet: Okay, so next weekend's event is a party. Sound good?
Mohonin: as far as i know they have to be a .midi file
Gonger: No, sounds great.
Gonger: I can provide beer, of course.
Anysu: Next week is okay with me
Anysu: I have wine and mead
Anysu: And some food
Uadjet: Good. I think that we can bring the meeting to a close.
