Bugs and Answers
« on: March 10, 2005, 12:05:33 am »
Black Plaza: When you first login to the plaza or go there from a different spot and had the loading screen, everything inside the plaza will be black, you can still see torches, smoke, characters and spells the characters are using but other then that its all black, it clears up after time though. FIXED

Trees: Trees, normal...until you see them on the road to the gold mining spot/magic tower, they are all flat, and a few of the trees are outlined in sky-colored outlines that are apperantly a sign of bad coding.

Answer: N/A

Sink-hole: A lot of questions about this, still un-answered but people would like to get across so anyone who would want to fix that, hurry up, lol. FIXED

Spawn Area: The spawn area in the plaza is too small, theres only 1 spawn spot and there are tons of characters \"stuck together\" and they look mutated in the same place.

Answer: N/A

Linkdead: Your server will crash from time to time, its mostly random who crashes but sometimes its everyone and won\'t be up for a while.

Answer: Update all the new planeshift stuff every day and see if theres anything new, and check for firewalls, security, ETC.

Tavern: The doors to go inside of it are hard to enter, the door to the left you have to be lucky to get through.

Answer: Go through the door to the right, or just try and work your way through the left one, but I don\'t think you wanna waste that time.

Tavern Part 2: For the Klyros race only. When they go upstairs in the Tavern you get stuck up there and can\'t get down.

Answer: Try to work your way down by backing up then jumping off the top of the stairs and keep running left and right, eventually you\'ll get down.

Hole In Temple: Theres a hole in the temple that when you jump down your in a cave, then theres another hole that when you jump down, it closes you out, and when you log back on you are froze, and then if you keep it open you un-freeze and end up in the Death Realm.

Answer: N/A

Attack Options Invisible: I just noticed that if you login now(I don\'t know if its just me or not) all your attack options on the status menu are invisible, you can\'t see them but you can still click them.

Answer: Get in a fight with something and click them all twice, some of them still won\'t appear, but most of them will.

Experience and Progression Points: For some reason when you gain experience and points they don\'t show up on your status menu, but they are there. 50% FIXED

Answer: N/A

Quest Window: The Quest Window seems not to be working, it has a line through the words and sometimes it just doesn\'t appear.

Answer: N/A

New Update(Mostly Windows Users): The new update seems not to be working for a few/all of the people who updated their client for PlaneShift, it either crashes or just doesn\'t work.

Answer: N/A

People\'s Names: There is a problem where above a person\'s head (Where it shows their name and guild) there is sometimes something in the background of it keeping you from seeing it. Something that they walked in front of gets caught right behind that spot where their names are, some sort of a lag.

Answer: N/A

New Topics(Forums Only!!!!): When there is a new topic on the forum and you read it and reply to it, it still says its new but nothing happened to it, its the same as when you posted in it.

Answer: Use the \"Mark as Read\" button.

Attacking With Sheild: If you put the sheild in the sheild hand and the sword in the sword hand, then when your in combat you will end up attacking with your sheild hand.

Answer: N/A

If I didn\'t get them all then post them below here, or if you are having trouble with other things then ask here, me or someone else will answer your question if we know, if we don\'t then eventually a mod will fix it or tell you how to fix it yourself.

Answer: Just wait for the new hour (in game time) and it will clear up. Example: 11:00,12:00, at 12:00 it will be fixed, you don\'t have to wait an hour in game time for it to clear, just be around when the new hour is set.


This is next on my task list so I should be taking a look at why this is wrong at start up soon. ( Day or so )

Answer: N/A

Hmm, possible to provide a screen shot to have a better idea?

Sink-hole: A lot of questions about this, still un-answered but people would like to get across so anyone who would want to fix that, hurry up, lol.

Answer: Only way I know is to attempt to jump in and to the other side, but theres an invisible wall keeping you from crossing, so good luck with that.

Hmm, that one will need attention. Not sure if anybody is looking at that at the moment.

Sounds like mapping issues.  So will look at those

These are a result of new windowing system being tested with the info window. This should be fixed in next client update.
If I didn\'t get them all then post them below here.

I know you\'re probably sick of hearing this by now, given that its likely screamed at you all day long by endless undulating hordes of adoring fans, but.. Acraig, you kick ass!!

Probably don\'t need one. Within the bounding box of a given tree, the transparancy is... well, global. Literally, the sky (backdrop) is being rendered in that region, not the nearest background object.

No ones telling me how to post screenies, so I\'ll just tell you where to go, go to the road leading to oja/the magic tower and look in the background with all the trees, they are perfectly flat, and right after you go through the door out of the plaza to oja look at the trees there, they have some kind of mirrored outline, you\'ll know what i mean when you see it, look there when you get the chance.

In reference to the Oja road bug:  It won\'t be hard to find - just try to go to Ojaveda with a windows client, you won\'t make it.  =)

One thing I thought might be helpful is that I tried logging in with my Linux client, and ran down the road and up to the top of the hill (there used to be some Tefusang here) and exited the game.  I then tried logging in under the Windows client and immediately fell to my death \"under\" the ground.  

Hope that provides some measure of help.

The sinkhole, the exp and the dark lighting are all fixed now.  You should have a new client to download in the next 3-4 hrs.  When it is available, I\'m sure it will be announced somewhere, or your current client will simply quit working. :)

I\'m using the latest cvs... at laanx.fragnetics.com it says that the darkness bug is fixed... but not in linux :( is this a known bug for linux only? (for windows I\'ve heard it is ok now)

Updated to 0.3.008 on WinXP here. Darkness bug seems to be gone, and ojaroad\'s heightmap is correct again.
I think the texture is still wrong though--that is, the valley from the forest to korogans pass is right, but there isn\'t any path on the ground.
A minor detail that, the important thing is that people can get to Ojaveda again. Thanks to whoever fixed it!
