FOnline TLA mk2 - now in English!

[michalator]

Hi there, how can i get out of Hell?

[Koniko]

Pay for your replication in caps or work for it in hell.

The server will be wiped this Friday. Then a test session will be launched for around a week before the next main gaming session.

We also moved to a new address, http://fallout2online.com/en & http://fallout2online.com/forum, to get separated from the main http://fonline.ru website, which will get more SDK-oriented.

Nice, though the domain "fallout2online.com" is a bit unfortunate IMO, Bethesda might really get upset about this.
They might not care about some old graphics from Fallout 2, but they probably do care about the Fallout trademark.

[fonliner]

Yeah, it will be better keep fonline: tla mk2 instead of fallout online. I know fallout2online is better for search but be careful

Don't worry, we've already rented a hut on a tropical island to hide there in case of any legal proceedings.

Also, FO:Requiem existed on fallout2online.ru for some time now, and they didn't have any problems (although they are not in the ".com" zone and their game is in Russian only).

[Lexx]

Bethesda probably won't care at all.

Huh. Why not http://tlamk2.ru/? Fits better, no?

Oh, and one thing which bothers me...

Added a possibility for multiple critters to be on the same hex

How you managed to do that? I remember trying to add it back in 2238 but i never succeed...
Any hints?

[Dagnir]

Any hints?

PM'ed.

[JovankaB]

PM'ed.

This is some secret?

[Dagnir]

This is some secret?

Not sure, hence PM. Plus it's offtopic. In any case, author wouldn't share it if it was a secret, so here is a copy of the PM:

Here is what Cracker told:

1) Critter flag is removed from the hex where critter was standing
2) We change the coordinates of the critter and send a signal to the client
3) We save the old critter in the client
4) We place the new critter into the new position in the client (and place him in the hex)

Something like this, although I could forget something.

Server side:

Code: [Select]

void critter_action(bool localCall, CritterCl& cr, int action, int actionExt, ItemCl@ item)
{
...
switch(action)
{
case ACTION_MOVE:
{
if( actionExt != 0 ) // Few critters on one hex support.
{
Message( " actionExt " + actionExt );
 
uint16 x=(actionExt)&0xFFFF;
uint16 y=(actionExt>>16)&0xFFFF;
// Critter is removed from the hex
// cr.HexX, cr.HexY
if( valid( cr.LastHexCritter ) && cr.LastHexCritter.HexX == cr.HexX && cr.LastHexCritter.HexY == cr.HexY )
{
SetCritterHex( cr.LastHexCritter, cr.HexX, cr.HexY );
}
else SetCritterHex( null, cr.HexX, cr.HexY );
SetCritterHex( null, x, y );
//SetCritterHex( cr, x, y );
//SetCritterHex( null, x, y );
}
}
break; 
 
 
case ACTION_REFRESH:
if( actionExt != 0 )
{
uint16 x=(actionExt)&0xFFFF;
uint16 y=(actionExt>>16)&0xFFFF;
Message( " refresh cr.HexX " + cr.HexX + " cr.HexY " + cr.HexY );
Message( " x " + x + " y " + y );
@cr.LastHexCritter = SetCritterHex( cr, x, y );
//CritterCl@[] crs;
//for( uint i = 0, iEnd = GetCrittersHex( x, y, 0, int findType, CritterCl@[]@+ critters); i < iEnd; i++ )
} break;
...
}
...
}
Client side:

Code: [Select]

void critter_action(bool localCall, CritterCl& cr, int action, int actionExt, ItemCl@ item)
{
...
switch(action)
{
case ACTION_MOVE:
{
if( actionExt != 0 ) // Few critters on one hex support.
{
Message( " actionExt " + actionExt );
 
uint16 x=(actionExt)&0xFFFF;
uint16 y=(actionExt>>16)&0xFFFF;
// Critter is removed from the hex
// cr.HexX, cr.HexY
if( valid( cr.LastHexCritter ) && cr.LastHexCritter.HexX == cr.HexX && cr.LastHexCritter.HexY == cr.HexY )
{
SetCritterHex( cr.LastHexCritter, cr.HexX, cr.HexY );
}
else SetCritterHex( null, cr.HexX, cr.HexY );
SetCritterHex( null, x, y );
//SetCritterHex( cr, x, y );
//SetCritterHex( null, x, y );
}
}
break; 
 
 
case ACTION_REFRESH:
if( actionExt != 0 )
{
uint16 x=(actionExt)&0xFFFF;
uint16 y=(actionExt>>16)&0xFFFF;
Message( " refresh cr.HexX " + cr.HexX + " cr.HexY " + cr.HexY );
Message( " x " + x + " y " + y );
@cr.LastHexCritter = SetCritterHex( cr, x, y );
//CritterCl@[] crs;
//for( uint i = 0, iEnd = GetCrittersHex( x, y, 0, int findType, CritterCl@[]@+ critters); i < iEnd; i++ )
} break;
...
}
...
}

Let them think up the rest themselves

Hah, thanks for sharing and GJ for Cracker!

[devis]

Thanks for sharing the magic!

[Koniko]

Never thought this will see a daylight. Thnx..
