Release The Codes.

The stuff you posted about is hardly possible without rewriting a lot of the games code. Even then there would be many compatibility issues and especially cheating would be a huge problem.

I think the word you meant is lofty, and yes yes yes.
It IS possibly lofty, it would be quite a bit of work, and some people will cheat; One would hope most got caught, especially when it is the host who is doing the cheating (yes, Paul, it did see that comment).

--- End quote ---
¿Do you know how? I don’t. I’m not even really sure that I could get 2238 (or something else) to work as a single-player if I got it as a .exe, let alone as a .txt, which is a much more practicable option for most concerned (yes, even myself).
--- Quote from: Mike Wall on June 14, 2013, 12:37:29 am ---Your ideas of different "worlds" would not work, because if everyone has different features, that would include different items, different player stats, drug effects and bla, bla, bla (do you think you could bring character with 500 HP from TLA MK2 to 2238 server?).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm… An interesting point… And one for which I confess I have not a shred of a clue how to answer…
Erm… For shits and giggles, ¿if I had a 5ØØ hp char from “My-Super-Awesome-Badass-2238-Clone.net” (ehem, perhaps where the Super Char and FalChE were legal, not that ANYONE around here has tried that) and took him/her/it to “Your-Wimpy-Ass-2238-Clone.com” (where cheat codes not only weren’t allowed, but the admin actually went around CHECKING for such things by means they were best advised not to advertise or even admit to), would it interfere with the game? I know many years ago, I tried renaming the item file for “spear” to “sub-machinegun” in FO2 and it made the system crash. (It was an easy fix, just swap their file names back, but it was interesting to see it anyways.)
--- Quote from: Mike Wall on June 14, 2013, 12:37:29 am ---But if it would be somehow possible (through some common character specification), why do you need 2238 codes for it, again?

As a baseline to start from, amongst other things.

EDIT: Missed Mike’s comments. My apologies.

SECOND EDIT: At one point last night, the poll was 45 yes 5 no… Now it’s 42 yes 6 no. MOST interesting.

THIRD EDIT: Somebody has been messing with the poll.
It was over 5Ø yes votes this morning, now it’s less than 45 yes votes (I had intended not to keep running a tabulation for that very reason). I have taken a screenshot to discourage further messing. I admit, the poll can only reflect support for this request; In the end, there’s nothing I, we, or whoever CAN do to force the matter, and it never was intended to. So messing with it is really, quit pointless.

Most people want tourne because they know how it works with tla sdk. We can download sdk, run it on localhost and play with friends or alone. It could be strange for others players but it seems to me it is not bad. Public sdk is great idea because everyone can play or build new version, server same as tla mk2.

Cain:
Can someone grab the code and rewrite it to support Android\iOS ? :D

TLAmk2 had the upper hand since all it had to do was add stuff to the original TLA.
Let's hope that happens with a potential 2238 mk2

BLDYMSS:
I strongly support the request.

1. 2238 could be restarted and improved, or
2. certain unique pieces of code that aren't in the TLA SDK could be used for other projects.
Some people said it already but I say it again:
It would be such a waste if the good work of the developers just would be tossed in some dark corner, never to be found again.

Playing FOn on a tiny screen that gives eye cancer. No thanks.
Also, for that to work, the whole interface mechanics have to be rewritten to fit for touch screeny usage. It just wouldn't feel right, I think.
