…Show properties of your equipment (possibly very hard)…
$query = "SELECT s.name, i.item_quality, i.stack_count FROM item_instances AS i LEFT JOIN item_stats AS s ON i.item_stats_id_standard = s.id WHERE i.char_id_owner = $charid;";
Something like that should take care of that one, or did I misunderstand you?
That is certainly a start, yes.
Think damage per second against different types of armor, effects of items on stats and character properties (protection against different kinds of weapons), usage of items in crafting or as results of crafting, contents of books and maps, creatures summonable by that item, locks openable by that item. And that is just a short list from someone who doesn't know much about planeshift (me).

Please make sure that you understand me here correctly: If the things above should be disclosed or kept secret is a completely different discussion and won't be decided by me anyway.

All old characters should now show a portrait in myplane :)

I will look into implementing new features when i got through my secondary education exams in early april, i'm a bit nervous right now.

My Wish List so far (This does not mean i will implement it)
  • Show all online characters on the same server in a list (same layout as buddy list)
  • Show all characters in the same guild as your character (same layout as buddy list)
  • Show a guild page that includes name, message of the day, alliance, member list with guild specific privacy options
  • Add "bulk" and "storage" tabs to the Inventory, with separate privacy options
  • See contents of bags
  • Show progress of your skill training (this is hard to do)
  • Show properties of your equipment (possibly very hard)
  • Show your character wearing her armor and wielding her weapons (impossible for me)

I'm not sure if the missing character traits are fixed yet. I wrote a script that can add them to old characters, but it required manual selection of the traits. From your image filenames it looks like 358 (Hair Style) and 362 (Beard Style) got added to Ylian Male Characters, but the Face trait was not. It may take a while to update all characters, people need to make sure they select the right trait, or all old characters will look different suddenly both in the client and in myplane.

MyPlane will not allow you to edit your character descriptions
a) Security:
 MyPlane does not have the permission to alter the planeshift main database, so a security issue in myplane cannot lead to item duping etc
b) Scalability:
 MyPlane is designed to work on a readonly DB slave except for its own database that keeps privacy data and a list of online characters
c) Consistency:
 The psclient is how you interact with Yliakum and your Character, you should always be able to play the game without being forced to use myplane
d) It makes life easier for programmers:
 Having to support different interfaces for doing the same thing and updating them always at the same time can be a headache

Let me say that i am not familiar with how some people have a creation info and some don't, changing it doesn't sound like such a big deal for me, but maybe there are good reasons that you can't change it. You will have to get the feature to change the creation info added to psclient if you want it.

If myplane and psclient show the same model then it is not a myplane issue, please open a regular bug report if you think that something is wrong inside the client, as this thread is only ment for discussing the first release of myplane ;)

(I can't debug the problem either as i do not have access to the database)

The issue with the incorrect Ylian Male Portraits (Wrong Hair Style, wrong Beard Style) has been fixed on the test server (r55), the fix will be deployed together with LigH's suggestion when Talad is available again.

A fix for the missing character portraits of older members is being worked on. If you want to help, and your character portrait is not showing correctly in myplane, then you can post both
a) The name of the image file that is missing (for example Ylian_Female_23.png)
b) A screenshot of your character in game that clearly shows hair/beard style and/or skin/hair/beard color
in this thread or send an email to niklas@frubar.net with the images to gather some data.

Unfortunately I don't see a preview picture for my "Male Ylian", Gag Harmond.
This is a known issue, when you created your Character, you had less choice in Beard/Hair etc combinations, myplane can only show characters that can be created now.

Good idea! First step to Hall of Fame is done!
If any suggestions are appropriate I'd like add some.
A. Combat, Magic and Jobs skills are to be selected as visible separately. Turning off combat ones can help to make a surprise to a potential opponent, and visible job ones may help to business. But not all together.
B. That would be great to add an advanced search among warriors/mages/craftsmen by their displayed skills. It may help to prepare to RP procedure of recruiting or starting business relationships.
C. Hide those skills that are equal to zero. Most of them are not implemented. The rest zeros are not subject of pride.
Hall of fame is an interesting idea, although i'd rather build something that the RP community can benefit from, too
A) This is an edge case and involves meta gaming, I don't want to clutter up the UI too much. Until i get more feedback that this is needed, i don't think it is an issue.

B) MyPlane is designed to be very lightweight on the planeshift database, which is baroque and not administered (notice the very limited character search). I will implement a list of all online characters in myplane that links to their profiles, which may help you in finding out whom of the active players you may want to start business relationships with. I won't do a search for skills until someone who understands mysql can confirm me that it can be implemented efficiently.

C) Some people may want to see their "special" skills that are not implemented, also Level 0 in Planeshift does not mean that you have no training at all, i think you will have to live with them :) And Pride is not always a good thing ;)

1) Images of more races are missing.

2) It would be nice to see the Buddy List like in game: Grouped by on-line status, sorted alphabetically.
1) Yep, known issue, see second post. Ylians are most affected by this, also something is wrong in general with Ylians, i think there is some hack in place to switch some of the hair styles, and my screenshot script got confused. (There are 588 different combinations for the Ylian male)

2) This has been changed on the test server (Revision 54), expect it to be on zeroping and ezpc soon.

Hey, i'm the main developer of myplane and i'll try to keep a list of known issues in this post.

Fixed since release:
  • Making "Stats" visible will show the "Skills" button in the profile
  • Making "Equipment" invisible will also hide "Money"
  • The portraits for the male Ylian characters are all wrong
  • For some old characters the character portrait is missing (This is due to the increasing variety of character looks, it will be fixed in the database itself)
