If you go down a steep slope, would you run like mad and break your neck, or walk very very slowly?

Except I'm walking very very slowly and still getting my neck broken The thing is that I'm still taking the same damage as if I had taken the full fall, so if it's to prevent death by falling it's not working. If the code's to improve stuck behavior then I can't say anything about that, since I only remember SB (I had a character under CB but only played that, probably a total of 1 hour)

Hope this is in the right place....

A lot of the steep slopes in the game slow my character to a crawl when going down them. Going up them is impossible, since they're too steep. But going down, the animation switches to walking (even if I had run on at the time), and the actual movement speed is even slower than that. Reaching the end of the steep portion where my character then resumes moving normally I receive a health hit as if I had fallen the vertical height of the segment. Which makes sense, since my character should be falling down these segments. I don't mind the damage, but is there anything I can do to my client to fix the issue? I've searched the forums and the bugtracker and my search isn't pulling anything so I wonder if this is isolated to my client.

Wow, that's a great guide. It's nice to see some clarification on what exactly an advising session entails (I'm sometimes not sure whether something I'm about to say is outside the purview of an advisor, which means I usually don't end up saying it).


A clarification on the don't-tell-NPC-locations rule: there's a post here somewhere, I imagine it's in General, naming Allelia as the Hydlaa tout. Since it's been posted in the forums, and not been condemned by a moderator, GM, or developer as being spoilerish, is it ok to direct advisees to her? (Or Brado, if in Ojaveda). In fact, searching the forums for the post, it was made by an associate developer, so I'll assume it's sanctioned. So what's the stand on this, and other cases of "official" OOC knowledge (locations in the FAQ)?

Mmasemo, if you forget the exact details of a quest you're on (that's what the quest notes are for, btw), you can consult your character's chat logs, which records everything that appeared in your chat window, from the time your character is created. The file is located in different spots according to your operating system:

Windows: In the user home directory, usually in "Document and Setting\Username\Application Data\PlaneShift
Linux: ~/.PlaneShift
Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/PlaneShift

Note that one of the Windows folders is hidden (I think it's Application Data), and that's for WindowsXP. I forget where it is for Vista, but it's similar, only the path starts in \Users\...

From the beginning: I spoke to an NPC who said they had something really heavy they needed transported. I could just barely lift that weight, so I went somewhere to hide my inventory. I finished the quest, went to pick up my inventory but it was gone -- apparently I didn't hide it well enough, or rather I probably should have used an alt.

I was aware of the possibility, which is why I kept the things I considered irreplaceable with me -- my crafting recipes. Other non-purchasable items brought me over my limit and weren't central to my character -- glyphs, a certain ancient sword, a certain note i got as a quest reward.

My question is, will not having these in my inventory hinder me in acquiring quests? I don't mean not being able to finish a quest because I needed an item which was a previous quest reward, but not being given a quest because I did not have a particular item on me. I already figured that certain quests are pre-requisites to others (even not from the same NPC), but I read a thread somewhere that suggested even the presence of certain items might be significant.

Could someone in the know comment on the issue, and if it's true, is there anything I can do to un-block myself?

Unnatural is right. I had a rogue do 600 damage to me, and with only a dagger. Anyway, thanks for the info Lanarel. It makes me much more comfortable about seeking out some Ulbers now   

That was pleasant.

I do wish that there were a way to cancel a quest -- maybe a second confirmation if it's a one-time only quest instead of a flat denial, or some way to tell the NPC that you don't want to continue it anymore. I do like a clear quest book.

Being able to clear the quest is useful not only in cases where you can't/don't know how to complete it, there's one quest I decided I don't want to complete since the item I'm supposed to bring back, I want to keep for myself even though it properly belongs to a certain stuttering dwarf
