Players should have the ability to use an item during combat.

Will require additional functionality to be added to InventoryFrame.

Functionality must be added to ItemSystem.TryUseItemSpell()

• Fix breaking error when calculating critical type at WorldData\Battle\Mechanics.cs:line 105
• Fix breaking error when recalculating map events after casting teleport at WorldData\Map.cs:line 154
• Skills have stopped working outside of combat. When did this break?
• Can't find Cleowyn's Key in the upper parts of the Mine. WorldData\Maps\AMapScripted.cs:line 476
• ItemCheck is broken
• CAN MAKE SKILLS MORE THAN LEVEL 12!! Bad protocol, immediately rejected by server.

Who is the toughest party in the dungeon? I'll find out by allowing people to challenge each other.

To ensure that the combat damage / to hit algorithms are working, I need to spent some time stepping through them in debug mode.

When I implemented the spell/skill messages, I was still in the process of defining the methods by which messages would be sent to the players from the server. I need to fix this.

The various assets that make up the dungeon view need to be clipped when combined with each other in certain permutations. Clipping will eliminate the remaining graphical bugs seen in the UiDungeonView control.

This is polish.

The client does not currently show the player's gold in the item buy/sell screen of the Keep.

As part of this issue, make sure the server is sending the client's gold amount when it changes (on buy/sell).

I don't think the server needs to maintain this data. Clients should be expected to manage it themselves.

As part of this issue, when item charges are expended, the server should delete the item and inform the client that the item has disappeared.

CommunityKit already has an excellent sound effect system programmed. But I have no sound effects in the resource files. Time to hunt some down and add them!

Necessary sound effects:

Movement

• Footstep
• Opening a door
• Closing a door
• Hitting a wall

Items

• Picking up an item
• Dropping an item.
• Using a potion
• Equipping/Unequipping: Clothes, Leather, Chain, Plate, Weapon, Wooden, Amulet/Ring

UI

• Open/Close bag
• Open/Close sheet

Spells/Skills

• Lockpick
• Beneficial magic
• Harmful magic
• Teleport
• Shield Magic

Combat

• Physical hit
• Bow

As part of this issue, develop new code to bevel controls, and create a new set of static ctors that will enable this beveling on set controls such as buttons and frames.

Currently the game acts as if it is going to play a round without stragglers' actions, but then... just starts another round! Fix this.

Right now, a level up is silent - the only indication that the player has leveled up is the increment of their level number (and the additional skill/spell/attribute points).

There should be a modal box announcing the level up.

Map scripts can edit the map objects of the current map. These are refreshed (forgotten) when the player leaves the map.

Honestly, I'm not sure exactly how this feature should work. Should the client cache newly visible/passable map objects?

These are just the legacy effects.

I'll replace these with modern effects in the future.

Effects to add:

• Blood on hit
• Magic on hit (positive)
• Magic on hit (negative)

Graphics start at 494 in MainTsu

Except this really isn't the case.

Passive buffs can stack (for example, Duelist insignias and the Fencing skill both add a Fencing skill buff).

I guess what I want is for more powerful versions of the same buff to replace the existing buff.

And debuffs should be replaced by new instances of the same power of debuff.

I'm going to leave this as is for legacy, with an eye towards refreshing the behavior (and all skills and spells) for modern.

Right now, buffs (such as poison, bless, etc) are only really reported on the Server.

This should be changed, so the server updates the client with new statistics every time a player gains or loses a buff.

Right now the server generates all the text that is sent to the client. This should be changed so the client generates the actual text based on prompts from the server.

See WorldData.Item, both on client and server.

As part of this issue, make sure that we can't equip items in the wrong slots.

And scorpion doing 34 damage (on a critical hit).

Surely wizards, at least, should be taking damage from the pitiful wolves in the mines.

This is a big one: I need to develop the interface for chat in the dungeon's exploration/encounter modes.

An important question is whether chat should be modal or modeless?

• Modeless (always present) chat interfaces encourage community interaction and discussion.
• Modal (only present when invoked) will allow use of WASD+QE or Arrow keys to move the party.
• I'm against giving players the option to choose right now - that would be more work on my part!

I am a huge fan of modeless chat, like you would find in UO and SWG. But I am also a huge fan of WASD movement.

I would like to have a separate "Patcher" program that is able to update the client. This should probably be separate from the actual client program.

What features are necessary for the patcher program?

How does it (or the client) detect that the client is out of date and needs to be updated?

How can we make this cross platform? I'd like to deploy on both Mac and Windows, but this relies on the MonoGame platform. Is it possible to download new executables/libraries using this platform?

If I can't make it cross platform, how do I account for having different patch strategies on Mac/Windows?

When you meet a denizen of the dungeon, you should be able to confront them face to face. To do this, I'll add portraits for both humanoids and monsters in both the Explore and Encounter modes.

As part of this issue, I will also show the correct icons for monsters on the Encounter board (currently every enemy you meet is a wolf), and show the 'death' icon for dead players.

This is an issue about trinkets - things like wreaths, amulets, and medallions. A player has two trinket slots in their paper doll.

Right now, the ServerPlayer object sums up all bonuses from any items held in the first six equipment slots.

But this means that you could put a nice helm or weapon in the trinket slots, and gain the benefits from that even though it shouldn't work that way!

Two options: either limit the trinket slots to trinkets only (as with weapons/armor/helms/etc; you can only wield a weapon in the weapon slot), or only allow trinkets to bestow benefits in these slots.

This is the one remaining combat skill left to be added! On successful pick pocket, a player should be able to add a new item to the loot list.

The Tavern is the social center of CommunityKit, where players collect and communicate between adventures.

The Chat window dominates the interface of the Tavern. This is a long list of chat messages sent by people in the Tavern. People who chat have their messages, emotes, and whispers show up here. Below the Chat window is a non-modal Chat box, where you can type your messages. This control is the exact same as the Chat box in the Dungeon, but is always on the screen, as opposed to being summoned by pressing Enter. So long as the Chat window is open, the Chat box accepts keyboard input.

On the right side of the Tavern is a list of all players in the Game at this time. The players are by default sorted alphabetically. Player names are hued with their guild's color. Next to each player's name is an icon indicating what that player is doing at this time. By hovering over a player's name, you can see their face and stats. Clicking on a player's name will open a /whisper prompt.

Below the list of player names is a set of buttons: BOARDS, POST OFFICE, CONFERENCE, OPTIONS, and PLACES. Each of these activates a sub-mode of the Tavern, except for PLACES, which returns the player to the overworld map. Most of these features will not be available at launch; these will be added after hypercare and stabilization.

There needs to be some music in this game. I'll need themes for:

• The overworld map.
• The tavern/keep.
• Exploring the dungeon (three themes).
• Combat (standard/dangerous/final).

Right now the server never deletes items that belong to characters that are deleted.

I need to add three checks to take care of this:

• When a character drops an item, delete the item.
• When a character is deleted, delete all the items in that character's inventory.
• When loading the actor database, indicate when an orphaned item appears and then delete it.

As part of this issue, make sure that text wraps correctly (see first encounter in Mines).

Client does not show changes in statistics when wearing/wielding items.

Items effectively cast spells when used. As a side effect of this behavior, the player receives a message that indicates that they cast a spell! This is inappropriate for heal potions and mana restore potions.

It would be nice if the server indicated why the client was summarily dismissed from their play session.

There should be at the very least a message for when the server - constantly in development - crashes or shuts down.

Although you can't sell it again, the item remains referenced in the ServerPlayer object.

Like gremlins! Keep them away from the light!

Right now, there is a "Join party" button is always visible.

What should be there is a "Other people" or somesuch button that shows everyone else on the map, and allows you to join or challenge them.

Features to add:

• Make leader
• As leader, kick party member
• If party leader is dead, automatically promote first living party member.

Answer: no, no they do not.
