Uadjet: Q&A starting momentarily at the Courthouse in East Hydlaa! Come and hear about the development of the game and ask any questions you might have. If you need a teleport, just ask in Global or send me a /tell.
Resildren: oh and take a peek at the plant book i'm working on
Mohonin: containers cannot be traded/transfered unless its empty
Anysu: Yeah it is hard to trade containers.
Anysu: When you finished book may I have a copy, Resildren?
Resildren: good chance, remind me later
Uadjet: It used to be possible to /give and /take containers, but the last time I tried the contents vanished.
Resildren: it's slow going to get all the directions clear enough to help
Uadjet: Not trying that again!
Anysu: They were
Resildren glance at Uadjet in that case I'm glad it did'nt take
Mohonin: should keep a back up copy in storage of the book
Resildren: oh by the way the purple Orchid stem has been located
Resildren: Thank you Gova
Gova: Happy to help!
Uadjet: Hello and welcome to the Developer's Q&A!
Mohonin: i have some thing to say, just a small matter
Uadjet: Yes?
Mohonin: I have a request... is it possible to get system msg when a pet eats something Like "<Pet name> just ate <food name>". Great thanks in advance to implement this. This is required when i feed more than 1 pet to stop the spamming of "i need food". if the mentioned msg shows up, then i'll know which pets are fed and which are remaining to be fed. Or also with my pet to know wheather someone has taken the food i dropped for it to eat or not and that only my pet has eaten it. Thank you :-))
Uadjet: Well, I can pass that request along to Talad. A pet eating something already produces a sound, so it should be easy to add a system message if Talad likes the idea.
Uadjet: Normally people won't be able to steal the pet's food, as it's being guarded.
Gonger: Considering the real problems we have right now, don't hold your breath while waiting for this to be implemented...
Mohonin: ya Thanks
Uadjet: Yes, it's doable, at least.
Uadjet: So, in the last few weeks Talad has continued to work on the fishing minigame.
Uadjet: We're going to have many different kinds of bait, and the fish models look as good as any I've seen.
Resildren: and that crayfish was amazing
Uadjet: We don't yet have models for the more exotic fish, like mantas and I think lionfish, but Talad has found and edited a crayfish model that we'll be able to use.
Gonger: The crayfish was not really a crayfish, it was a ...what are they called...tloke.
Gonger: Count the legs!
Lytoza: Seeing that giant version behind me in the water was a surprise yesterday!
Mohonin: i saw the baits list once when Talad Sir was streaming the fish work.. so i have 1 question... wud the baits be craftable/cooked like food?
Uadjet: Yeah, I was a tloke yesterday.
Uadjet: On youtube, stream #1327 is about crafting bait.
Mohonin: oh ok thanks
Uadjet: I'll have to look and see which fish is attracted to firelantern poultice.
Anysu: Once you have bait, how do you get it on your pole?
Mohonin: bait in 1 hand and pole in another then /combine
Mohonin: i guess thats how it wud be
Anysu: But we do not combine things in hands.. we use a container or table..
Uadjet: I think so.
Uadjet: See, the baits are made in PS (the test server) so that they can be worked into the crafting system.
Gonger: For repair kits we also do not need a table.
Uadjet: The fishing minigame is currently a stand-alone project, that has yet to be incorporated into PS.
Uadjet: True. It could be set up so that when you examine a fishing pole there's a button that opens a little window in which bait can be placed.
Anysu nods at a button idea
Mohonin: Sir you mentioned, this fishing is implemented in test server, can you give some idea about if we loginto test server wud we will still have our data as in the main server
Uadjet: The test server is really just for development.
Uadjet: I don't even know if it's linked to player accounts.
Mohonin: oh i see
Gonger: Last time I tried it was not linked, but that was some time ago...
Mohonin: gotta try out to see it
Gonger: You can try, Mohonin...
Mohonin: ya Thanks Gonger Sir
Thosor: I don't want a spoiler, but are there any roaming merchants out west?
Uadjet: Yes.
Resildren: more then one?
Thosor: I have seen none in months, was wondering, thanks.
Anysu: I have yet to find them.
Resildren: i do know there is al least one, still trying to run across the other'
Thosor: I remember a male Nolthrir somewhere, but he ran away while I was trading.
Lytoza: Didn't see any in a boat on the water yesterday. >.>
Uadjet: I think two, for the far west. East map section has its own source.
Thosor: In legacy the NPCs would pay attention to you while engaged.
Resildren: the one i found gave the araloth map furthest west
Anysu: The west on my map is quite empty.
Thosor: I wore out some rivnek shoes out there. Do pets scare them off?
Uadjet: They spawn on the roads sometimes.
Mohonin: Anysu, you can get a west map just outside hydlaa west outpost, enter the room on the ground floor
Anysu: I almost fell off a cliff far west as well.
Gova: I ran around the lake repeatedly until I found them.
Thosor: I got stuck in a pit a few days ago, was rescued by Uajet
Thosor: Out west
Anysu: I have that map Mohonin. But the farthest section West is still empty on my map.. need to find those merchants
Mohonin: oh ok, right
Thosor: I saw carpets being stitched over the hole. And signs were erected.
Gonger: Speaking of signs... is there a chance to get these funny portals back?
Uadjet: Which ones?
Gonger: They would be helpful, especially now that all ways have become longer.
Uadjet: Oh, the shortcuts?
Gonger: Like the ones in the forest, teleporting to the Magic Shop, for example.
Anysu: Yeah portals!
Uadjet: I think those were added to avoid problems with zone lines. Since we don't have those anymore...
Thosor: But why? is part of the fun, exploring, and we can earn rides.
Thosor: Let newcomers wear out some boots earning a pet.
Anysu: No I do not like that largeness. It isn't like you can boost endurance running around. And so many large mountains and hills are hard to see or climb.
Gonger: And we still have some zones, like this house. Every time I go out that door, I am turned by 90 degrees to the left.
Resildren: good point I'll give that a try
Mohonin: just a curiosity, how many of you know about the mail system by ptero handelers? its awesome
Thosor: Yes another way to be spammed.
Gonger: The mail system was announced repeatedly, so I think most people would know about it.
Gonger: Not sure about newbies, though...
Gonger: Is it mentioned somewhere? I will check that with a new character.
Resildren: and you can put the message on your char from the ptero drivers
Uadjet: Maybe the guildhouse is turned 90 degrees to the right.
Gonger: I am not THAT strong.
Anysu: Use mail a lot. It is good when have more than one character to get items back and forth.
Uadjet: Ah, yes. I haven't mentioned the mail in a while.
Uadjet: Okay, here's the pterosaur handler from Gug.
Uadjet: Right-click on him or any other pterosaur handler and there's a mail option.
Uadjet: Looks like an envelope.
Uadjet: Can't miss it.
Mohonin: on player inventory screen also theres a envelop icon which has the mails
Mohonin: only you gotta retrive your mails from the ptero handelers
Uadjet: To send something, go to the Write Mail tab. You can add tria or items at the bottom, and add a message at the top. You will be charged a fee, with a faster delivery costing more.
Mohonin: then read it or get the item attached to it
Gonger: A quick word from the PR team. I have some days off next week, so I will test out the latest changes to the Drykken Plane and give detailed feedback there. I believe that real PR work does not make much sense until the Drykken Plane is in a good state, and the pushup problem is solved. We will lose many newbies to these two problems that would stay otherwise.
Thosor: especially the pushups
>Anysu nods at Gonger.
Anysu: Thanks for checking that Plane, Gonger
Velora: wonder why they used the mining animation for gem enchanting instead of using casting animation.
Uadjet: I know. The casting animation makes more sense.
Gonger: Agreed.
Uadjet: Mail, iirc, shows up in your inventory. Just click on the envelope icon in there.
Anysu: Use chopping for harvesting, Use to swish right and left when harvesting. Now it's up and down an axe sounds.
Gonger: I will bring beer to the DEV meeting when the pushup problem is solved.
Thosor: I will consume it until under her table.
Uadjet: There are farming animations on Mixamo.
Anysu will drink you under the table Thosor
>Anysu lets out a hearty laugh!
Thosor: yours?
Anysu: Sure
>Anysu lets out a hearty laugh!
Anysu grins. Did it before at a Hammerfest.
Gonger: The day when a fenki won the Drinking Contest (was it you, Anysu?) is still remembered in shame among us Stonehammers.
Anysu: Yes Gonger!
Uadjet: That's all the news I have for now. Talad starting working on something called enhanced inputs today, but I was out shopping and running errands so I didn't see it.
Gonger: So Thosor, she for sure can drink you under any table, and certainly under hers!
Anysu: That day was crazy. Anysu was so drunk she climbed the wall and nearly jumped off bieng in such a funk over drink and her life at that time.
Thosor: I woke up under my rivnek at the big banquet, I thought Yorlak had dragged me out of the rain.
Gonger: It was a fun event.
Anysu: aye it was.
Uadjet: Any other questions?
Resildren: has any consideration been made on tabbing the shortcuts?
Thosor: for tabby enkis?
Lytoza: Oh.. so we can have like 200 shortcuts!
Uadjet: I'll bring it up again.
Uadjet: It would be very handy. Even to GM's and Devs.
Resildren: it would def be handy
Resildren: a tab for RP, crafting Mele, etc
Lytoza: Different languages too used to be helpful
Uadjet: Okay, I think we can wrap things up. Thank you all for coming, and I'll see you at the next meeting in two weeks!
Lytoza: Thank you too!
Resildren: Thanks for the meet, and all you guys do
Anysu: Thank you for update, Uadjet and Gonger.
Gonger: Anysu, if you have event ideas, discuss them with us here, or with Uadjet in private.
Anysu: yup
Gonger: I think Uadjet is always open to ideas. It cannot be easy to come up with new ideas again and again!
Uadjet: Very true!
Anysu nods
Uadjet: And if people are suggesting ideas it's less likely I'll base events off disturbing music videos
Anysu: I'm just going to pick a few locks.
Gonger: Don't forget to leave the room before quitting.
