Off-topic Discussions / Homemade music

« on: August 08, 2015, 10:45:00 AM »

How about an alternative music thread where we only post music we have made/wrote/created/recorded ourselves; I've already met a couple of people in fonline who are writing music or are in a band and I'm interested to see who else got something.

I wont post my stuff just yet to keep up a false of cover of not having primarily created this thread in order to brag with my own shit so here goes nothing.

I'm a guitar pro guy myself so dont refrain from posting midi stuff )))))
I'd also be very much interested in collaborating on a song if the opportunity arises, be it either with midi or with actual recordings as I'm able to record bass and guitar in decent enough quality.

Events & Politics / TDM event 9pm Saturday 18.07.2015

« on: July 15, 2015, 04:27:56 PM »

With the intelligence gathered from the somewhat spontaneous tdm event yesterday, we will fix some issues and run it again properly next saturday at 9pm. The armors and weapons will be tweaked, proper ammo and perks added and other stuff.

Aside from that, rather than having to put up with me trying to decipher the log and porting everyone, it will now be possible to use ~joinevent and ~endevent after the event location has been created. The former will teleport you into a waiting room on the event map to speed up the whole process wile the latter will strip you of all items and scripts and allow you to leave the event without GM help.

The automatic squad formation will also be gotten rid of and replaced with a simple team vision so there is no need to drop and rejoin squads for the squadvision anymore.

I will post a small changelog with the detailed changes to the event items in the next days (probably at 8:59, rite)

Events & Politics / Time for Buggy event Tuesday 7/14/15

« on: July 13, 2015, 04:17:10 PM »

Spoiler for Hiden:

Just kidding I mean the other kind of buggy.

Tomorrow, tuesday at 8pm eurotime I will host a small Deathmatch style event, partly as a test to see if the recent stability fix worked out, partly to test next season's Tier 6 mockup and partly because why not. Here's the gist of it:

- The arena will be a very big Airfield with a new feature, explained in this video as well as the usual cover. The location will be in a blocked off area on WM, only enterable with GM teleport but can be left by dying on a non-event map. Event scripts probably need the char to be logged off for 3+ minutes to be disabled. Use main char at own risk.
- The script used will be the usual TDM with waverespawn and tickets.
- Each team has a separate respawn area with containers/vendors/npcs/whatever to allow players to choose their own weapons, on top of the random ones that come with the script. There are no grenades, spears, energy weapons, melee weapons or stealth boys, only stimpaks and bandages

- The only armor available will be a normal Leather Armor to go with the weapons
- There will be around 10 weapons of next season's Tier 6, some new, some already in the game but with different stats. The current weapons would be about tier 8-9 in strenght so the event weapons might seem weak.
- There is one weapon for each weapon class, all loaded with neutral 9mm ammo for simplicity's sake and, for the most part, no weapon perks.

1: Heavy Pistol / M29 44. Magnum Revolver
2: Automatic Pistol / M1911
3: Sub-machine Gun / PPs-43
4: Shotgun / Model 1912 Trench Gun
5: Assault Rifle / AK-47
6: Light Machine Gun / BAR
7: Battle Rifle / M1 Garand
8: Sniper Rifle / Kar98k Scoped
9: Big Gun Sniper / Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr
10: Medium Machine Gun / Maxim-Tokarev
11: Rocket Launcher / M20 Bazooka
(the supply of Big Guns might be limited, depending on how that works out)

As some weapons use new sounds and, obviously, new pictures so it's advised to run the updater a couple of hours before the event starts. (there is still one soundfile I have to polish and add)

Depending on the number of players, we might screw around with the number of teams, the randomness, the map or just go FFA.

Have fun and remember not to screw around in the teleporting stage and remember to check your squad status after respawning, depending on what method we use.

As usual, be there a couple minutes before and use ~help ASDAFASDASDFASD to show up in my window so I can port with ease.

News & Announcements / FOnline: Reloaded Wipe announced

« on: April 26, 2015, 11:17:57 AM »

Today it was officially confirmed that Reloaded would wipe next week. As it says in the post, it will not be the huge update that they are still preparing but it might be a good opportunity for some people, especially those who only ever played AoP, to check out another server without feeling like they had no chance at catching up with everyone in the middle of a season.

I personally will give it a go again for that good old 2238 feeling and I hope people wont feel guilty for playing another server.

Off-topic Discussions / How about some crysis?

« on: February 01, 2015, 08:35:21 PM »

So, back in the day when crysis(1) was the shit, me and a couple of friends used to play a certain game mode and it was always kickass and I was always thinking about durmming up some people to play it again.

I'm not talking about normal crysis wars but a special gamemode we came up with ourselves which requires a total of 4 players. Here's the short version of it:

It's played 2on2 on the Mesa map in that one battlefield-like conquest mode. One team, the spies, have to survive for 1 hour. The hunters have to catch them. if just one spy dies, the game is over. Sounds simple right? As we were playing it we came up with a couple more rules to make it more fun.

- The spies have to capture a capzone on the map each 15minute mark (45, 30, 15) to reveal their location and prevent camping.
- Only jeeps and humvees are allowed, only the spies are allowed to use its machine gun.
- Hunters are only allowed to carry 1 sniper rifle in the team and only 1 primary weapon each char. No explosives apart from grenades
- spies can use anything apart from armored vehicles
- If one hunter is killed, the other one has to wait at his mate's location until he comes back and is not allowed to chase after the spies.

This covers the basis of it, we had an incredible amount of fun and it was probably one of the most nejoyable gaming experiences I've had so far.

So, if anyone wants to try this with me then just send me a message or, of course, reply here. We always played it over hamachi or tunngle back then, no legit copy required, technically.

Challenges & Accomplishments / Guess the secret modifier!

« on: February 01, 2015, 09:38:16 AM »

So apparently there are rumors that the new reputation payout formula has a secret modifier. Now, I'm pretty confident that noone will be able to guess what it's based on, but whoever gets close enough will get some ingame reward. Let's see how this goes.

Most creative replies might also get something.

edit: replies on IRC will obviously not be taken into account.

News & Announcements / PvP event 08.11.2014

« on: November 07, 2014, 02:54:19 PM »

Hello everyone

though on short notice, I'm thrilled to announce a little free-for-all event at around 8pm CET.

We'll be using a slightly modified good old Junktown map and for those who have played our DM before, there will be a couple of twists:

- Everyone will spawn randomly at the outskirts of the map in bluesuit and will not be assigned to a team
- Gear will be found in every container around the place and has to be scavenged
- Skills will not be affected, so bring your strongest (and probably most versatile) character
- There wont be any reputation penalties, though we might play around with Bounty a bit
- Since it's an FFA event, names might or might not be hidden

- There might or might not be certain points of interest on the map (PA)

In any case, if this turns out to be as much fun as we hope it to be, more of such events with different mechancs will follow in the future.

Reminder: Server port is back to 4000

Technical Center / AoP mapper

« on: May 28, 2014, 01:49:32 PM »

I have configured a stand-alone mapper that works with all custom sceneries. As usual, it requires a working client with either master/critter or fallout.dat. More info is in the readme file in the archive.

This package uses files from:
TLA SDK: https://xp-dev.com/svn/fonline_sdk
2238: https://github.com/rotators/fo2238
Lexx' Tiled Mapper: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,26058.0.html

Here is the link for the ~30mb big package. https://www.dropbox.com/s/k2790hd4cfx5efr/aop_mapper.zip

Anyone who is interested to make maps will be added to the contributors forum group to see tutorials.

Free perks
Perks that you get for "free", either by completing some quest or simply through dialogue.

General Discussions / Awareness

« on: February 25, 2013, 02:13:54 PM »

I implemented a little quest which doesn't really work right now due to the removal of random encs, but there is a new npc in the family courtyard that you can talk to about awareness.

He will give you a little assignment, killing 10 geckos, dogs and rats to obtain the perk. The dialogue checks for the killcount, so if you already have these kills on your character, you should be able to get the perk right away.

AFter that, there is a second quest which works the same way, except it checks for 10 deathclaws and there also is a reward.

Since it checks for the killcount that you can also see in your character sheet, every type of gecko counts as gecko, there is no distinction between golden or silver ones.

Soon, a similar npc will be added to the lawyer base to enable lawyer chars to get awareness for free. Once that is done, awareness will be removed from the perks list.

The quest has no level requirement, it is possible to obtain it at level 1, theoretically.
