Uadjet: Hello and welcome to the Developer's Q&A!
Damola: Karzela how did you do that rotation while sitting?
Gova: Holding down the middle mouse button?
Resildren: hold down center mouse , but know it takes a good rotation till you move
Damola: Hi! I tested new plant spawning harvesting. It works nicely.
Uadjet: Ah, good.
Damola: I tested with Gobo root and after 10 plants harvested the spawn disappeared.
Anysu: I did that with apples
Gova: 10 plants harvested? That's one go, with a high skill.
Damola: What I would prefer is some kind of progress indication. Damola as a herbalist probably would not harvest all the plants in a place.
Damola: But it was all plants there and after 10 plants all plants gone. And another spot not far away there. Again 10 plants, then all plants gone.
Resildren: most should just give five harvests till a respawn
Damola: Would be nice if after a harvest a plant at a time is gone.
Mohonin: where did they respawn? did you find it?
Resildren: you found a lucky one
Damola: It was near Gug the Gobo root and the other spot was not far away.
Karzela: So we normally would have 40 plants instead of only 10 with a high level herbal skill?
Anysu: Plants I still need to find.
Resildren: from what i've seen it used to be unlimited?
Damola: Is that planned that plants go incrementally so you can see how much of a spot is harvested?
Thosor: Do they respawn in the vicinity of the depletion zone?
Anysu: Did we get hops yet?
Uadjet: It was unlimited before.
Damola: Thosor, yeah.
Karzela: Like ore for instance
Resildren: there's been hops
Damola: I have no problem with a limit. But I would like a progress indication on how far the limit has been reached.
Resildren: well you have it
Anysu: Would like to know where hops are.
Damola: Resi?
Resildren: when it dissapears it respawns
Damola: It is either all plants there or all plants gone.
Damola: I'd like to see plants disappear incrementally. That's all.
Anysu: Damola has a point. Yes, an indicator showing how many left not a bad idea
Damola: Otherwise fine. One can discuss the exact limit, but otherwise fine.
Gova: Hmmm. I'm already getting fish at about 1/30th to 1/40th the rate I used to.
Resildren: be hard to set the graphics to be incremental
Resildren: from what i've seen
Anysu: I tried the rotate, doesn't seem to work for me.
Damola: Nice, did not know that middle button trick.
Thosor: Any new carnivorous plants?
Damola: Resi, I understand. Still would prefer that
Uadjet: No, just the gorweal.
Uadjet: Don't try harvesting them.
Resildren: blackroot if you *^% him off
Thosor: They harvest you...
Karzela laughs
Karzela: They are rather beautiful from a distance
Thosor: no rotate for me
Resildren: it takes a good bit of rotation till you'll have movment
Resildren: a good 20% till you're body moves
Uadjet: So, over the past few weeks I think most of you have seen Listarindel.
Karzela: Yes, nice unique look to the area too.
Damola: It looks beautiful.
Damola: Really nice design.
Damola: I quite like those colorful stones and windows.
Karzela: So do I
Mohonin: There's a pond on the way to it, have seen it only once
Anysu: colorful mosaics
Gova: I think that's near a cinnabar mine.
Resildren: not sure on apple though
Gova: Oh, the pond is very nice.
Mohonin: ya, and there's a fishing platform also there
Gova: Top quality unicornfish, crayfish, and ide.
Resildren: on the road between amandier, and the outpost
Damola already found another best hiding spot in Listarindel.
Damola: Uadjet, you wanted to tell more about Listarindel?
Damola: Found guard NPC. Is there any other?
Uadjet: Just that it needs NPCs and decorations, and that player input on those is welcome.
Damola: Hmm, okay.
Anysu: If there is tavern, needs a barkeep there
Damola: Is that center building more of a meeting hall or a temple?
Resildren: there is the big house there?
Damola: Buildings all empty so far as I found, and none really good for a tavern, or am I mistaken?
Damola: Interesting also? all buildings can be entered within game map.
Uadjet: I think it's both and more. Small towns don't have many large buildings so they take on multiple roles. I'll wager any village event is held there.
Anysu: Makes sense
Damola: Not like in Gugontrid or Hydlaa where most buildings are in separate map.
Thosor: Small huts good for small business like instant shoe and horn polishing.
Damola: Hmm, I see.
Damola: Yeah, Thosor, I agree.
Damola: But I think some kind of tavern would be good as well.
Thosor: A well stocked one.
Resildren: ahh maybe they'll put one up on murder hill?
Damola: Just imagine Gonger running out of ale. No fun.
Resildren grins
Gonger: Dreadful thought.
Mohonin: Sir, today i saw a scroll sort of paper in Harns, the content was fasinating, a pic of a diaboli lady and the notice was to find her, but that alone what i saw was a system notification that the graphics is downloading
Damola: Oh.
Mohonin: So how does those paper scroll work?
Uadjet: That is the new drawing system.
Anysu: Did some make a drawing up because of our event yesterday?
Resildren: you can make it off line and add it to the scroll
Mohonin: I haven't checked it but last i tried to write something in a scroll paper and it says its not implemented
Thosor: cool
Anysu: Add it how? Does it someplace explain how?
Uadjet: A very talented Kran took a simple image from the Diaboli page and turned it into that.
Resildren: when you open the scroll it has a prompt to upload
Resildren: but no naughties, they're checked
Mohonin: and same with music scores. it says can't find any midi file in some folder i forgot the name
Anysu: Do you click that on page and it send you to what you machine hd?
Resildren: yes
Anysu: I must try that.
Thosor: So it is local to your machine like quest notes?
Uadjet: It starts on your machine, but then gets uploaded.
Thosor: ah
Mohonin: i found a site where we can get free midi music, its url is freemidi.org, i'm trying you use those midi file to make a score
Resildren: ohhh thunderstruck?
Anysu: Migg or I, I wonder if we can do that to fix our alphabet books.. yet they have pics and text.
Uadjet: It'll take a little while to get used to the new drawing, I assume.
Uadjet: I don't know if the standard books can take images or formatting, yet.
Mohonin: Sorry, moved the discussion from Linstradel town to these drawing and music paper
Resildren: i think it's only the drawing scrolls atm you can buy them at the library
Karzela: Hmm...so there is no hope of all our music scrolls being converted for use in Unreal?
Anysu: That be so sad Karzela
Uadjet: Well, the information in the scroll could be converted to midi, I think.
Thosor: bummer
Mohonin: Talad Sir told me a software to manage audio, its Audacity, but i still have to figure out how to make midi file with it
Damola: Audacity IMHO is more about editing samples. It is no MIDI composer unless I am not up to date with it anymore.
Karzela: Is there a way to view outgoing replies to whispered messages?
Damola: There probably could be a conversion tool old music scroll to midi file, however someone would need to write it.
Damola: Karzela, not at the moment I think. It's bugged.
Damola: You can view incoming whispers by having them send to main tab, but whisper tab is broken.
Uadjet: I think there are multiple tools that can do the job. I google music xml to midi converter.
Damola: According to Gonger bug already reported.
Anysu: I have not seen that Karzela. I type I whisper and it appears in a chat bubble, but not in whisper or main.. it is not seen
Uadjet: Yes, as Damola mentioned whispers are now bugged.
Karzela: ok, thanks
Damola: Uadjet, is PS Legacy using a standard format? Music XML? Was not aware of thus a format, but there are a ton of file formats, you cannot know all of them
Damola: *such a format
Anysu: I mean you can see what comes to you in a whisper in main, but not what you sent after you send it. I hope bugg gets fixed
Damola: That's exactly the issue, Anysu.
Mohonin: lemme try Anysu
Thosor: And whispers appear in chat and chat bubbles.
Damola: Whispers are so silent they do not even appear in whisper tab anymore
Karzela shuckles
Karzela: Good one, Damola
Uadjet: Just go into options, to interface, and then scroll down to Chat Text To Main Tab. Make sure Whispers is selected. Then whispers will show up in main, but still not in the whisper tab.
Thosor: makes it hard to reply to a whisper.
Uadjet: Hmm. Maybe PS isn't precisely music xml. I do that the old PS music converter, though I don't know how much it had to do.
Resildren: be nice if it stayed in the whisper tab even if one choose to send it to main
Karzela: Oh, I like that idea Resi
Damola: I will set them only to go whisper tab once it is fixed.
Damola: Normally it is cat like typing detected. Countless videos on that one.
Anysu: I hope Talad can fix that server side instead of waiting for new download.
Thosor: I got double click ok when my name mentioned, but I get no clicks when chat updates, used to be a light click.
Anysu: Sorry, any new news?
Damola: Yeah, news block from Uadjet still missing.
Thosor: How we missed TP then...
Uadjet: Well, the last few weeks were mostly about getting the new plant system in.
Thosor: snowbuds?
Damola: Any other news?
Thosor: did I miss mount bug?
Uadjet: It's great when it's cold, but when it gets close to room temp...
Damola: Otherwise we have completed the hour I'd say?
Uadjet: Yes, the mount but is very hard if not impossible to replicate.
Damola: Oh, I think we did not talk about mount bug.
Anysu: Yet not had too much new news this hour.
Uadjet: That's going to make it challenging to find a fix.
Damola: I did not experience it yet.
Thosor: happened on way here, is why i was late
Gova: I did, once.
Gonger: I only had it once, and next time I tried it was ok... So what Uadjet said...
Damola: Had about 5 mounts/dismounts before dev q&a
Resildren: i checked my logs and nothing there, wondering if Talad can debug it on the server?
Damola: No issue. So not sure how to trigger it.
Damola: Haha Gova tries to brute force it.
Thosor: I had to examine, not eyeball a couple things in inventory, then fell, then recovered where I left off.
Resildren: you need to not thin about it before it bugs
Gova: There must be an extra element to trigger it.
Anysu: Only appeared with the latest download.
Gova: I think I triggered it by accidentally right-clicking on myself while riding.
Damola: Always stop before dismount.
Resildren: I triggered it dismounting
Damola: Haha, in PS Legacy we used dismounting while jumping to have char fly a few meters through the air
Thosor: I had dismissed a pet to get a rivnak, i think when I mounted rivnak, it happened.
Gova: And to get onto places we could not otherwise reach.
Gonger: Let's just observe this, and try to get more data...
Damola: Gova, exactly. Exactly.
Damola: Like a certain rock near the explorer's camp.
Damola: Well now different map.
Damola: Has the mount login screen bug been reported?
Damola: I cannot report it, did not happen to me so far.
Mohonin: i have recently found out that i can't cast magic spell with fishing rod equipped in hand
Uadjet: Yes, it's been reported.
Damola: No mounts at the smithy and no spells while fishing
Uadjet: Equipping a fishing rod and reel changes the interface. That's how it enables the ability to interact with bodies of water.
Damola: Considering it: Compared to first version PSUnreal really went a long way.
Damola: A lot of stuff is so much better now.
Damola: Anything else to mention?
Uadjet: I can't think of anything at the moment. Any more questions?
Damola: No Q from me.
Anysu: I do
Damola: Anysu?
Thosor: no questions, Your Honor.
Anysu: I think Res mentioned this on discord about voice chat.
Anysu: Does voice chat work in ps here?
Damola: Never tried it.
Uadjet: If not, I think we can bring the meeting to a close. Have fun playing (and maybe testing out the new plant system?) and I'll see you again in... three weeks this time. Extra Sunday this month, and all.
Gonger: And don't forget to show your support to the cause of the semi-intelligent races.
Anysu: So voice does or does not work in game?
Thosor: time changes should be over
Damola: Ah, right, Gonger. Petition to Uadjet it was?
Gonger: Or /whisper, or on Discord, yes.
Anysu: Sorry.. did I get a reply to my question??
Gonger: https://www.reddit.com/r/planeshiftrpg/comments/1jhhdft/the_yliakum_times_event_recap_referendum_march_08/Uadjet: Ah, yes. I've had some petitions, but need more!
Uadjet: About voice chat? I've never tried it.
Anysu: Yes
Uadjet: I have a microphone, but never opened it.
Gonger: I made three already, but will try to think of more. I had a blast writing those three.
Anysu: So noone knows?
Uadjet: I did hear in chat that it might not be working. Can anyone verify?
Anysu: Bit of a shame, it save alot of time.
Anysu looks around
Karzela: Is it too picky to ask if player names could be alphabetized when typing /who?
Anysu: Not in discord, in game.There is an option for voice in options.
Anysu: So noone knows.. okay
Mohonin: The chat in game is what Talad Sir calls voiceover, we players to recoed the dialogs of NPC and upload the file
Resildren: I saw misha and she was trying it but i was off when she tried
Uadjet: I have not. I did order a microphone, and I can see it from where I am, but I've never used it.
Gonger: Don't forget to leave the room before quitting. That would also be a nice bug to fix...
