Not quite what I'm looking for, but a slight improvement.  I'd like to remap Up and Down from cycling the command history.

It's not getting into chat too easily -- it's too easy to repeat a command while in chat...

But thanks for the suggestion!

Newbie Help (Start Here) / A Way to Remap Command Buffer in Chat?
« on: May 18, 2006, 04:27:26 pm »
 ??? Is there a way to remap (or just disable if not) the command buffer in the chat window? 

I regularly repeat myself because I press enter to go into chat, then attempt to move with the keyboard, and repeat a previous command.

I'm used to other MMORPG interfaces where you can move your char using the keyboard while in chat...  Even if you can't do that, it's too easy to accidentally spam with the default keymapping...

I'd be happier with a function key or requiring a mouse click to cycle through previous commands.

Thanks!

Newbie Help (Start Here) / When "Rat is Impervious to Attack" ...
« on: November 02, 2005, 01:40:46 pm »
As almost everyone is aware, ALL of the non-player charachters (mobs) in Planeshift are currently \"impervious to attack\".

As a roleplayer, just accept the fact that the gods have declared a respite from violence.

Behind the scenes, something else has happened.  The \"NPC Server\" is down.  While I\'m also a newby -- and definitely not a PS developer -- here\'s my take.

There appear to be at least TWO server/server processes involved in running the Planeshift server.  

One is the \"world server\" (for lack of a better term) that presents the environment, quests, etc.

The other is called the \"NPC Server\".  This \"server\" (or process) controls NPC battles.  If it is down or non-responsive, an NPC will be impervious to attack.

Even in my short (<1 week) of playing, I\'ve seen this range from server-wide and lasting for days, to impacting a single monster for a short period of time.

When I first bumped into this, I had almost killed a monster when it suddenly became impervious to attack.   I camped out, and logged back in.  Usually, the mob would still be damaged and I could continue to kill it.

Apparently, it wasn\'t my client that was at issue -- it was the NPC server.  Sometimes it appears to reset itself.  Other times, it is down and the developers are working on it.

Would it be possible for the Laanx status page to show the NPC server status as well as the world server?  Also, I\'ve never seen anything directly in the forum explaining this for new (or experienced) players!

For the duration of the bug, good mining!
