Uadjet: Hello, and welcome to the Developer's Q&A!
Uadjet: I think you all know what this is about, but just in case you don't,  this is where I summarize what's been going on behind the scenes and you get the chance to ask any questions you might have.
Uadjet: Questions relevant to Planeshift are the most common, but if you want to know your lucky numbers I can make some up for you.
Uadjet: If you have a question, please line up at the lecterns in from of the stage.
Uadjet: Okay, for the update:
Uadjet: Talad has been working on two main things in the past two weeks: Drawing, and Plant Distribution.
Karzela: Plants as in an addition to the scenery or more available to harvest for herbalism?
Uadjet: Currently, most plants have only a couple locations, and sometimes they're very close to one another (within sight) so it's essentially one location.
Uadjet: Ah, Resi knows more about the planting system than I do, so I yield to him.
Resildren: so yest the plant locations are being added to cover all of  our maps, and progressing nicely, were about to start seeding, how long that will take is n unkown atm...
Resildren: some of the changes will be that the added flowers/plants will randomly spawn, so one will have to cover more area to find them, but at the same time ther will be more areas that they will spawn to
Resildren: i think we have a nice balance for the different sectors and it should as a whole make it a bit less challenging,
Gova: Would they despawn after one harvest, or would they stick around for a while?
Resildren: in some cases yes, thee will be a set amount on the spawn and when harvestem it will randomly pop up at one of the chosen spawn points
Resildren: encourges one to search out the areas more, and discourage camping
Karzela: Also be exposed to vicious NPC's?
Gova: Heh, no more /harvest, step right, /harvest, step left, etc?
Gova: Fair enough.
Resildren: yep only a set amount can be harvested at a given spot at a time
Anysu: And larger araea to cover to find.. hmm.
Resildren: true but more spawn points then we ever had, and plants added to all maps
Mohonin: can they be found in dark with only a torch?
Resildren: there will be a good balance it's not like they'll spawn randomly over the whole sector, mo of a general area
Resildren: as far as light? yeah i guess if you're harvesting in the dark?
Gova: So it's more... if you can't see the new spawn point, climb a nearby hill and look around.
Anysu: Be nice to have some that you can see from the road, or at least not with large mounds of hills and mountain around blocking a view.
Anysu: I hope that will help, Gova.
Resildren: some may show on the road but those would be the more common
Uadjet: Our world looks very "young" in places. Lots of jagged hills and mountains that haven't worn down yet.
Uadjet: It's possible to follow ridges in many places, though, and they provide great views.
Anysu: Yeah I wondered about that as well in Dev options. Weather gives me lag. And I have most settings at low
Uadjet: Of course, plants will only be visible for a limited distance, I'll wager.
Resildren: never hurts to run the ridges by the side of the road, in concept, if they were just there for all to see, they would be picked and gone to another spawn
Resildren: but some will be readily visable
Anysu: I would use EVERY brown way spell to wear those mountains if I could!!
Resildren: on the whole we do want it to be somewhat of a challenge don't we?
Resildren: just balanced
Uadjet: Yeah, and that impassable ridges are primarily there to keep players in areas that are actually developed. The area with the mangroves, for example. There are supposed to be two towns there, but they haven't been built yet. That's why it's mostly closed off from the Oja Road.
Resildren: right pair of boots you can get anywhere
Mohonin: oh so terrain and building construction is yet to be done in some places
Uadjet: Oh, yes.
Anysu: Balence true. Yet I would not like to be a player who is following path of an herbalist and spend a looong time finding plants when you can be making herbal items and training that skill up.
Uadjet: There are... four towns I can think of in the current map that don't exist yet. Talad did a lot of work on the buildings for one of them, actually.
Uadjet: Very different buildings.
Resildren: @anysu if one decides to follow that path they could offer them at the market
Anysu: Fair point, Res.
Gonger: So everybody who wants can build one of those towns, Uadjet?
Uadjet: Well, I don't know. Talad was working on Diaboli (I think) structures.
Uadjet: We have a Stonehammer town to build, and a Dermorian town.
Karzela: Wasn't someone working on a stonehammer town about 12 years ago? I remember seeing some of the ideas.
Uadjet: Then there are the other locations, like a pterosaur arena, a hanging garden on the edge of the level. I always pictured some of that garden hanging over the edge, with maybe a few hanging walkways. Maybe a large hanging platform attaching to a cave with cooking equipment. A small cafe, hanging over the edge.
Uadjet: There are the ruins of Ylon Dynari. Simple now, but could be expanded.
Uadjet: There are Enkidukai camps in the desert on some maps.
Uadjet: So there's a lot out there that could be built.
Resildren: considering it was supposed to be one of the first towns yes it could use some expansion
Anysu: I would like to see developement of the west and areas filled with something.
Uadjet: Oh! And Kiroth. I forgot that.
Uadjet: If you'd like to work on a town, let Talad know. He'd love the help. I don't know about art for a Stonehammer town, but 12 years ago was before my time as a GM so I may not have been aware of it.
Resildren: I think i heard him mention that korma wil be getting a name change
Uadjet: Yeah, I think it was planned as a Dermorian village, but we seem to be going in a multicultural direction for towns, now.
Anysu: sigh I have no 3D modeling skills.
Gonger: Anysu, I think there are many models available already.
Mohonin: is 3D modelling and 3D designing different things
Anysu nods, but adds.. I also lack time.
Uadjet: Well, there's a lot of variety in villages. A Stonehammer village will look very different from a town built by Stonehammers or Enkidukai.
Uadjet: And a desert camp, for example, will be mostly Enki tents.
Gonger: Yeah, Anysu, we know this. Time is so precious...
>Anysu nods at Gonger.
Uadjet: But if anyone wants to help with a village, either building one or populating one, let us know.
Uadjet: So, drawings are coming along well, as is the new plant distribution. Talad fixed up what were intially Ynnwn buildings, I think, so I guess Diaboli?
Uadjet: And that brings us to the hour. Any questions?
Karzela: Will this courthouse ever be labeled in some say?
Karzela: Just so players know this is "the" courthouse mentioned in Discord?
Gonger: You mean, like a sign over the entrance door?
Karzela: Or even a sign post which may draw more attention?
Resildren: or a sign post?
Anysu: Good idea
Uadjet: That's not a bad idea. I can do a signpost today.
Karzela: Thanks
Gonger: Maybe the guard outside could tell a few things about these buildings...
Resildren: besides step away?
Gonger: Jail, Courthouse, Vigesimi's place.
Uadjet: I was trying to think of a way to use a triple signpost, but I'm not clever enough. I'll just embed the signposts into the wall, so the sign itself sticks out.
>Anysu nods at Gonger.
Gonger: Short info, all proceedings of the latest Q&A meetings are now in the forums, and I have started to catch up on my event backlog in our subred.
Resildren: could lable it Govermnet offices, thus covering all it's aspects?
Anysu: The guard outside does say this is government properties
Anysu: But not specifics.
Gonger: It should be no problem to modifiy that message a bit...
>Anysu nods at Gonger.
Mohonin: has anyone of you imagined unlimited inventory storage
Uadjet: Yeah, very easy. Only Talad can do it though.
Uadjet: Unlimited storage can cause problems.
Gova: Maybe a new section for fish? Or fish and bait?
Gova: I'm using my storage kran more and more, as my number of stacks is getting out of control.
Mohonin: yes, with huge items in storage it may crash the game
Uadjet: I can suggest it.
Uadjet: Or anyone can, on discord.
Resildren: how much does one need to carry?
Mohonin: ok will do it in discord, thanks
Anysu: There is a fishing area in storage names. Could bait and fish go there?
Karzela: Hmm....I just remember finally finding a mine but not being able to carry many back to storage for quite a while.
Mohonin: my longswords are so many that its exiting max limit of storage
Mohonin: and some other things like animal parts
Gova: It's storage. I've added so many new fish, and bait types...
Resildren: wow never hit a limit in storage, guess i'm not the horder i thought i was
Uadjet: Okay, I'll pass along the request. .
Mohonin: thanks
Anysu: With more than one character, I spread out stuff in those other storages. Can mail items now to those other characters.
Gova: When I access my storage kran, I'm handing over at least a dozen stacks of 65.
Uadjet: I tink we can bring the meeting to a close. Thank you all for coming, and I'll see you again in a couple weeks!

Uadjet: Hello, and welcome to the Developer's Q&A!
Koraza: Hi
Resildren: 14 players on line
Resildren starts to count the bodies in the room
Uadjet: This is the place to hear about what's happening behind the scenes, and ask whatever questions you have.
Uadjet: If you have a question, please step up to the lecterns in front of the stage.
Uadjet: If not, I'll give people a little rundown on what's going on. Sound fair?
Uadjet: Hello, and welcome to the Developer's Q&A!
Uadjet: This is the place to hear about what's happening behind the scenes, and ask whatever questions you have.
Uadjet: If you have a question, please step up to the lecterns in front of the stage.
Uadjet: If not, I'll give people a little rundown on what's going on. Sound fair?
Resildren: Might i suggest a call out on global see if any on line might want to join in?(22:11:22) [chat] Uadjet: The Developer Q&A has started at the Courthouse in East Hydlaa! If you'd like to hear about the development of the game or ask a question, now is the time! Let me know if you need a teleport!
Uadjet: Good idea, Resildren.
Uadjet: I guess not everyone reads the Help tab.
Gonger: Information for newer players - you can tell a character is really old if they have a single name, like Trensol.
Damola: Gonger, thanks for posting all the Dev Q&A protocols on the forum for later reference.
Gonger: My pleasure. I am still lagging behind with the event summaries, but these are harder to do, and I was just struggling with and overcoming the Nasty Flu monster.
Uadjet: Okay, so you may have noticed that some of the bodies of water that you couldn't fish in are now full of fish.
Anysu: All have fish now!
Uadjet: I checked Gug Lake and Delver, which I believe weren't working before.
Gova: Delver lake and the stream now have fish, and I found a new pond between Amdeneir and BD that has  fish, but I was out of bait.
Gova: Blue Shan, Snowlilly, and Saffron make the best baits, but I've only found the Blue Shan.
Koraza: Found a bait book in the Gug tavern so may be fishing soon (tm)
Gonger: Some low quality bait should be found pretty much everywhere, no?
Trensol: the lake outside of gurg had fish at first but no longer i think
Uadjet: Talad has talked about expanding the harvesting spots to more locations.
Resildren: so what would be considered the low level baits? i can see that there  easier them some to find?
Gova: It's the order in the bait-making book, and the colour of the bait tells you the quality. Mostly. Purple Orchid has the colour of top tier bait, but is only +30%, not +40%
Gova: I only know where the blue shan flowers are and, well... Knowing might be half the battle, but the other half is ulbernauts.
Resildren: ok so most of the baits are critter based, so not an issue for plant locations
Gova: You can buy carp in the Plaza, and while it isn't great bait it will still do.
Uadjet: Talad has also improved the magic portals so that there can be more than one active at a time.
Uadjet: He's also changed things so that dungeons are generated by a seed value that is maintained after a server restart, so the dungeons won't need to be recreated each time the game crashes.
Damola: Oh regarding that dungeon behind the portal when exiting Hydlaa through former tutorial area:
Damola: It went into the dungeon but then did not figure out any way to proceed further into the dungeon. Hitting a solid concrete without finding any mechanism to operate.
Damola: I do not ask for any spoilers though, in case there *is* a way to proceed further.
Damola: As we have been there during an event it was possible to proceed further into the dungeon.
Gonger: Resildren, that was just a thought of mine: Would it not be an idea to be able to simply FIND low level bait?
Resildren: I went thru it a few weeks back and managed
Damola: Okay, then maybe I have to look more carefully. Thanks
Uadjet: I haven't seen it, as it was rendomly generated. It could be that there's a secret passage, or that the randomizer generated a map with no exits from the first room. I'll have to check.
Damola: Thanks.
Damola: Great to hear about all the news.
Damola: Actually: I really appreciate 0.7.46 and 0.7.47! Things are coming together very nicely.
Damola: And I am so happy about the locomotion fixes.
Damola: Thanks Talad!
Anysu: I have a dungeon question
Uadjet: Anysu?
Anysu: I have not done many of them. But what happens if server crashes while you are in one? DO you fall? Do you end up outside. Or if dungeons randomize after a crash would you end up in another one?
Koraza whispers, "so much to worry about"
Resildren: could be a way to teleport?
Uadjet: Up until now, you fell endlessly. I think.
Uadjet: Once a new dungeon was created, you landed in the starting room.
Uadjet: Now that dungeons are restored, I think you'll just end up in the start room.
Uadjet: If that fix is live. I think it is, but I'd have to check.
Anysu: so end up in a start room and not falling?
Damola: Not resting Damola in the guild house for now. For that endless fall bug reason.
Anysu: okay
Anysu: thanks
Damola: Gonger I pondered and replied to your PR strategy forum post.
Uadjet: I just checked, and the quest that gives the fishing baits book is active.
Resildren: good to know thanks
Gonger: Thank you, Damola.
Damola inspects Uadjet "I just checked. And the GM that gives the nice Saturday evening events is active."
Damola chuckles.
Gonger: I will check out the website you mention there.
Damola: It is older than 20 years. Many of the links to other former Linux gaming sites are not active anymore.
Uadjet: Heh, Talad commented on how long that quest was. That was one of my SHORTEST quests.
Anysu: Is that fish quest repeatable?
Uadjet: We have two repeatable fishing quests that grant skill points, but I seem to recall the player needing to supply fairly high quantities of fish.
Uadjet: That's back when we got up to 10 fish per cast.
Uadjet: The quest for the book is not repeatable.
Trensol: maybe incorporate net casting?
Uadjet: Net casting would be fun, but I assume a lot of work.
Anysu: Nets? Pole?  Nah use the claws is what I say.
>Anysu grins impishly.
Uadjet: Would characters without claws need to get some of those hand claws to fish that way?
Anysu: There is like a claw weapon item
Thosor: What do the gobbles fish with?
Anysu: Yeah that is what I was thinking Uadjet
Uadjet: More recently, Talad has done some work on Drawings.
Anysu: Drawing, I am curious about that.
Uadjet: He was able to load drawings from legacy into Unreal.
Thosor: Any progress in moving music sheets from legacy?
Uadjet: So being able to make your own art again isn't far away.
Uadjet: I don't think music sheets can be directly loaded. The new music system for Unreal needs midi files, if I'm remembering correctly.
Anysu: I haven't checked, but it wuld be nice to se Migg and me Anysu's in game childrens' books work that we made.
Thosor: I have Migg's music, but yes it doesn't work.
Uadjet: And just today Talad was working on uploading images into the game.
Uadjet: And got it to work.
Anysu: nice
Uadjet: So the visual arts should get a little boom in the near future.
Thosor: Images as in?
Uadjet: Not in, but he figured out how to do it.
Resildren: png files from he's showed
Resildren: from client to server, but  he's calling that step 1
Uadjet: Filtering out genitalia is step 2, I assume.
Uadjet: I'm just very worried that I'm the solution to that step.
Anysu nods about filtering
Uadjet: That can be automated to some extent, of course.
Resildren: a thirty day auto respawn to the void shold do it
Uadjet: But it gets us one step closer to being able to hang paintings of your characters in your guildhalls.
Uadjet: Or anyone who tries it gets their stats and body dev skill set to zero.
Uadjet: Do you have a question?
Resildren: i do about fishing
Resildren: is the leveling system the same for the fishing mini game? as example will buffs still effect the probability of a catch?
Uadjet: I think they will, but Talad did mention at one point that having a skill over 200 put someone out of the skill range the game could handle, and might be treated as having a skill of 0. Hopefully that isn't the case.
Thosor: So that is why I get so many "training is not in thee skill range" or the like from trainers
Gova: I'm at 201 fishing, and I'm not having a problem catching fish. I have one get away despite doing everything right now and then, but I think that's part of the game.
Uadjet: Trensol?
Trensol: any chance to introduce ai for npc knowledge?
Trensol: took me about a decade to find couchgrass
Trensol: limited of course
Uadjet: I don't know about NPCs pointing you to things, but the Harvesting skill does have the Prospect Plants ability. Maybe that could be used to find plants in the area.
Uadjet: As I mentioned, Talad is intending to add more locations for each plant. He has the game world divided into biomes, and I think he'll use that to some extent.
Uadjet: The description of the ability says it helps determine properties and value, but does not mention location.
Uadjet: I was just proposing a hypothetical use for the skill that would be nice to have.
Anysu: need more plant location.
Koraza: I agree with you, Anysu
Anysu: A skill for finding  them, helpful.
Trensol: thats a lot of space to search
Resildren: I'm sure its going to get better soon..ish
Koraza: ...and find again
>Anysu nods at Koraza.
Uadjet: It's a thought, at least. It might be good to discuss in Discord, so that Talad can participate.
Anysu: Now that we have plant bait making for fishing be quite helpful.
Uadjet: It's the kind of thing that I think should be something players can find and share with other people. Notes on a map that can be shared, for example. Talad likes that idea, though he has said before that the map should not act as a GPS.
Uadjet: And to do a notes on the map idea, we'd really need to be able to zoom in on the map quite a bit, and that's detail that would have to be added.
Uadjet: I thinking aloud. Stream of conciousness.
Resildren: but a good point
Uadjet: Oh, we're well past the hour!
Uadjet: I don't see anyone at the lecterns, so let's call it a night.
Gonger: Don't forget to leave the room before quitting.
Uadjet: I'll see you again in two weeks at the next Q&A. Until then, have fun playing and maybe check out an event or two!

Gonger Sir, are you aware of those type of website, which keep a database of different game and theres a voting option where the players of the respective games, Vote and depending upon the number of votes the sites are arranged from top to down in popularity. Hope i cud explain it properly.
A pleasure to tell you that i have been voting on those sites for more than 10 years for other games and the best such site i found is this site --> http://www.hotrpgames.com/
I was going through its instruction and options and what i cud make out, you can join with your website with voting enabled absolutely free. But i may be wrong. so there is 2 things for you to do. 1st check wheather adding our PSU website banner and link is really free or there are hidden charges? 2nd is if you go ahead with it then how can we tell our planeshifters to vote for it once every 24 hour. maybe almost everyday we can show the link which with the PSU member wants can vote in, in discord. and for those who visit Yliakum, maybe Talad sir can make an icon for voting.
Anyway, have a look at this website and see what you can do. website URL --> http://www.hotrpgames.com/

future development made it clear this isn't a game for people who want to roleplay.

Where did you get that? Nearly all the interactions I see in game are in character, people are roleplaying. New game features can be leveraged by players for more roleplay, like the new dungeons or fishing. What are you referring to?
