PlaneShift News and Rules / PlaneShift Unreal Alpha Release 0.7.27
« on: December 04, 2022, 11:49:42 am »


Hi PlaneShifters, we have just released a new version! In the last months we have made the server more and more stable, and we think the game is now ready to be tested by a larger audience. The game is now available to everyone. You can download it for free here. This is a full release, so previous version cannot be updated.

Please note the previous game is still up and running, and it is still the master for all data, accounts included. During this transition period the progress will not be kept in the new game until we will completely migrate from the old game to PSUnreal. If you have an account already for the old game, it will work in the new game with the same password. New accounts need to be created here on our website and will be migrated to the new game regularly, please give it 4-5 hours to be migrated.

Windows, Linux and Mac are available for download.

Fixed health bar to update properly when casting spells, and in general when not in combat mode.
Fixed PVP Duels.

Changed material on Amdeneir river and rapids.
Some more terraforming.

PlaneShift News and Rules / PlaneShift Unreal Alpha Release 0.7.20
« on: June 04, 2022, 04:52:51 pm »


Hello PlaneShifters, here is a new release, fixing lot of bugs of 0.7.19, new lights, new foliage, more terraforming and fixes to playable areas. This is a full release, so you have to download it, the updater cannot update from 0.7.19.

Here is the list of major changes:

Previous light setup didnt work as expected. So we changed it to use "Sparse Volume Lighting Samples" and we relit all maps with this new method. Lights on the character should look better and be consistent with the surroundings (with some approximation).
Improved facing angle checking while in combat to avoid "You must face the enemy" messages.
Improvements to skybox to avoid the horizon white line, and to enhance the cavern/rock walls effect while looking far away.
Added natural mountain boundaries for left and right extremes of the map.
Many areas have been terraformed to improve the look of the landscape, removing all flat and bare areas. There are still a few, but significantly less than before.
Added context menu when right clicking on mounts.
Added a compass to the game! The compass is an item you need to find. It will be part of a quest in the future, for now you can buy it from Toda.
Modified foliage on all maps. Added new foliage types and create biomes for different tree/plant types and associated those to specific areas. For example you will see the area next to the dome wall to have more mountain trees like Juniper, Spruce, ... The Gugrontid area is using more pines/conifer, Hydlaa is using Birch, Elm, ... Ojaveda is using specific ones as well, and palms and cacti for desert areas.
Fixed a problem with NPC navigation on the map. We had some NPC not being able to move due to missing navigation data. This should now be fixed. We still have some movement issues caused by waypoints not properly positioned. This will be fixed next.
Added some point of interest to desert area.
Reduced footstep sound volume.
Added pet talents/abilities, those are now visibile in the pet window for your primary pet. Those are not working yet.
Fixed /pos command while mounted. This fix is going to resolve a number of other issues related to receving messages while mounted.
Fixed the NPC responses to also be present in chat.
Fixed the selection marker displayed under the current target while mounted.
Fixed the pet window to properly show the picture of the current pet. For the primary pet it shows the 3d view, for others a static image.
Fixed magic light, increasing the radius, and lowering rendering cost.
Fixed Action location Use button and View button. Now all tools on the ground should be working (example forges).
Fixed skill window to properly highlight a new ability when obtained.

Map Fixes:
Improvement to landscape to use less texture layers, and improve performances in Ojaveda area.
Bad step in Oja main quarter, reduced sharp slope.
Reviewed lighting in Arena and also fixed path to arena.
Fixes to laanx dungeon collision.
Fixed problem not allowing special attacks on the left hand.
Fixes to laanx dungeon level, including the stairs going to the Windowless Tower.
Tweaks to lighting in laanx dungeon and sewers.
Fixed strange effects by waterfall in Amdeneir map.
Fixed a hole in Amdeneir where players could fall under the map.
Added more lights to Ojaveda map.
Reduced Ojaveda terrain layers.
Klyros female was wrongly using the klyros male robe while its not available yet.
Fixed crash in achievement where a monster dies by himself.
Fixed achievement 1 of each piece of armor. Was triggering wrongly.
Fixed crash of pet trying to eat a torch.

PlaneShift News and Rules / PlaneShift Unreal Alpha Release 0.7.19
« on: May 10, 2022, 04:46:36 pm »


Hello PlaneShifters, in the last few months we worked hard to improve the alpha of PS Unreal and today we are finally releasing 0.7.19! This is a full release, so you have to download it, the updater cannot update from 0.7.18. Major improvements and the addition of new areas and new functionality.

Here is the list of major changes:
Finished and improved the new Factions window. You can find it in the skills window, last tab. The faction scores for your character are not updated yet, and will be loaded in the next days.
The new factions window contains all new symbols (Dark Way is bugged as its black on black background... will be fixed).
Factions scores are now split between reputation and title. Reputation represents how much that faction likes you and is eager to speak, trade or give you access to special locations. Titles are acquired by completing faction quests and raising up in their hierarchy.
When your faction rating changes, we now update the client properly.

Added the first set of special attacks based on weapon types. Example if you have rank 10 or more in Sword, you will get a special attack called Side Slash. You can see all the special attacks (and special abilities) in the skills window.
While in combat mode (press tab) if you have equipped a weapon with special attacks, you can now press Q for the primary weapon and E for the secondary weapon, to display and select the special attacks. To use the special attack you then just click with your mouse, ensuring you have a target under the crosshair.
Added combat mode attack scroll keys to key mappings.

New Sarraghi Dsar added to Ojaveda, it's a completely new area, with new buildings.
Added new Ojaveda Buildings: granary, water tank, windmill.
Added new Ojaveda banners with symbols for the packs.

First version of Raurim village, it is a Dermorian village with new type of houses and a very large tree. It's unfinished, will be improved in the next release. You can find it north of Ojaveda.

Changed the setup of lights in the game. The result should be more vivid colors and shadows. The dark shadow patches appearing randomly are now fixed. We can have more realistic looking dark areas.
Updated many levels with new lights to use the new light setup, including guildhouses. There is a known bug in Ojaveda at night, the light is not correct.
Improved light for day and night cycle.

Here is the list of additions:
Added new style for Ylian Female hair, you can change it in character creation.

Added lemur hair color options (Light green, light blue, silver, light purple)

In the Settings panel, added option to scale menu bar and increase the size of all simple icon tooltips

Implemented new system for mechanism puzzles, currently used in the lavacave map.

Fixed mantle movement to work better, you should now be able to grab ledges more easily and precisely.
Updated the minimum step height your character can step on without jumping or mantling.

Added back button on character creation screen: the universe view.

Added achievement chat message when getting new achievement, to notify the player of which achievement he got.
Added crystals to some cave maps.
Added sounds to windmill in Delver
Added damage trigger to lavacave lava.
Added Xiosia shrine, Talad Shrine and Laanx shrine to be part of random generated events... soon.
Added Pet Info to /info command.

Here is the list of fixes and various improvements:
Fixes to character creation traits, now properly set color to hair/beard
Fixes to character hair geometry and texture for ylian male
Improved hair color a bit
Fixes to homestead river
Fixes to NPCs getting stuck on bottom of stairs

Improved system for permanent spells effects to be shown on the client
Fixes to magic light spell: persistency, intensity and position. You can remove it by casting magic light again.
Fixed problem of characters going to Dryken plane when falling off map in certain locations.
Added new method for developers to manage the loot spawned in chests. Will allow easier creation of new chest and loot.
In the character creation screen, when you select a trait changing the face, the camera will zoom on the face.
In the character creation screen, during customization you can rotate the character by clicking on it.

Improvements to Random Generated Events, we can now spawning items, and destroy items when the event ends. Random Generated events are not yet used in game, but they will soon.

Fixed NPC dialogues. Proper removal of pending phrases from dialogues with previous NPC.
Fixed chests showing black or wrong textures
Fixed player torch item to have more radius and less falloff
Fixes to laanx dungeon textures
Improvements to performances and lights of Amdeneir
Significant amount of fixes to amdeneir houses to avoid flickering

PlaneShift News and Rules / PlaneShift Unreal Alpha Release 0.7.18
« on: February 07, 2022, 11:20:20 am »


Hello PlaneShifters,
we are back with another PSUnreal release! Yaaaayyyy! This time is 0.7.18, ready to be downloaded from PSLauncher. This release is important as at this point pretty much all the PSLegacy functionalities are in. Let us know if you think we are ready for the real migration.

This release is open to all Patreons and to all veteran players of the previous game (200+ hours of gameplay). A special thank to all the people who are participating in our live streams, testing the game, and giving feedback, supporting through Patreons and donations!

Here is a list of changes for 0.7.18:
Implemented a new functionality of achievements. You will get achievements upon migration for the ones you already achieved in PSLegacy. Some you will have to redo. There are achievement for combat, loot, quests, events, crafting, magic, and many more. This is the first implementation, so please test it and let us know if it works for you and which changes/improvements you would like to see.
Fixed all the entrances to guildhouses, you can now enter your guildhouse! We also found a way to port the guildhouse items from the old game. Those should be correct in terms of position, but may have a wrong rotation. You will have to fix the rotation yourself in Unreal, just right click and transform.
Changed top menu bar to be split in three panels: Character, Social, Others. This is done to avoid a long list of icons hard to search, and to allow room for the next icons that will come.
Added back the ability to right click and get a description on some of the static items in the game. We didnt add new ones, but the one present in PSLegacy should now be working.
Updated Settings window to use new background based on Jade theme with more space for content
Made the arena dungeon doors openable, right click or press E
Added openable gates in hydlaa walls, north gate and west gate
Connected the old tutorial area to hydlaa, its now accessible from the north part of the city. We will shortly fix items and NPC in that area
Fixes to merchant window to prevent wrong clicks on buy/sell and wrong item list
Fixed login window to be adaptable to different screen resolutions
Fixed error in Active spell window
Fixed a number of sounds which were not 3d based (levers, traps, house footsteps, ...)
Fixed crash preventing (for now) to cast spells on Interactable Objects
Fixed bug in loading secret passage marker
Some fixes to group loot
Added new panel for GMs to set flags
Fixes to Howling well cavern entrance
Fixes to caves entrances
Fixed enter and exit from guildhouses
Fixed crash on summoning pet after relogging
Deleted 55779 unused characters to free up names (full list is on Discord in #announcements ), making sure the criteria of deletion would not affect any "meaningful" character. The criteria used to select the characters to delete is following:
- The account owning this character has not logged in game after 2018-01-01
AND
- The character has less than 300 seconds of gameplay
AND
- The character has no money and no items in his inventory or in its storage
