If myplane and psclient show the same model then it is not a myplane issue, please open a regular bug report if you think that something is wrong inside the client, as this thread is only ment for discussing the first release of myplane ;)

(I can't debug the problem either as i do not have access to the database)

Now that the older characters got updated, MyPlane displays a correct preview. At least for Gag Harmond (http://planeshift.zeroping.it/myplane/images/characters/Ylian_Male_19_358_362_141.png).

Unfortunately I do not yet see one for other chars I remember as Male Ylian:

  • Colim Gessi (Ylian_Male_358_362_142.png)
  • Mordaan (Ylian_Male_358_362_142.png)
  • Steuben Viscosa (Ylian_Male_358_362_146.png)

Interesting, each time almost the same name. My hair is dark brown (_141); I think Mordaan had black hair (_142), Steuben possibly blond (_146 -- not certain). The missing _19_ is rather obvious. Maybe that changes when they once logged in?!

Gen, Myplane only displays the ingame description of your character. Simply edit it yourself.  ;)

Not only. In the overview i have Description, OOC description and Creation Info tabs. As i said, many people don't even have that.

Even when you empty these tabs ingame?

Works for IC and OOC descriptions, but the creation info stays there. I can edit the CC in game, but can only add other text, not remove the gender, race, religion, etc.

I'm not sure if the missing character traits are fixed yet. I wrote a script that can add them to old characters, but it required manual selection of the traits. From your image filenames it looks like 358 (Hair Style) and 362 (Beard Style) got added to Ylian Male Characters, but the Face trait was not. It may take a while to update all characters, people need to make sure they select the right trait, or all old characters will look different suddenly both in the client and in myplane.

MyPlane will not allow you to edit your character descriptions
a) Security:
 MyPlane does not have the permission to alter the planeshift main database, so a security issue in myplane cannot lead to item duping etc
b) Scalability:
 MyPlane is designed to work on a readonly DB slave except for its own database that keeps privacy data and a list of online characters
c) Consistency:
 The psclient is how you interact with Yliakum and your Character, you should always be able to play the game without being forced to use myplane
d) It makes life easier for programmers:
 Having to support different interfaces for doing the same thing and updating them always at the same time can be a headache

Let me say that i am not familiar with how some people have a creation info and some don't, changing it doesn't sound like such a big deal for me, but maybe there are good reasons that you can't change it. You will have to get the feature to change the creation info added to psclient if you want it.

Oh, I'm an oldbie by now? Wow. I must be, for my poor Dermorians Luzino Lemigno and Marliana Evolly are yet lacking pics in MyPlane.

Other than that - it looks real good. I'm sure it'll come in handy in some way. :)
So much to do - and so little time...

this looks cool
Good move for those with low amount of time. Reason why browser games are so popular. Realistically, only kids and students have plenty of time. But a good player base cant be composed only of these.



What you can failure tommorow, failure today.

Gen the players from 4.03 or before, were able to delete the player creation info, so those who have it deleted, were probably from there, like me :)
You might just want to make a footnote saying to ignore it, until they make it deleteable again.

Also, it would be nice if the picture of the characters arn't nakid

before it was placed in the main description and not there. it was locked editing as a specific goal so i doubt it will be removed anytime soon. when creating a char you should choose wisely not take  a cheat sheet to get big results. You can always, anyway, use quickgen. That won't load it.

Ok, thanks for the answers, i can live with that, it is not that much of a problem :) And i didn't use any cheat sheets, i had no idea of what was implemented or not, so i just selected what i liked more at the moment. Then, while actually playing, i have changed my mind on some things.

Stats are involved = people using chat sheets.  Simple fact, especially when you consider a bunch of skills aren't in the game.
