Just a bit of a follow-up for those who followed my draft of a project.
It has been very frustrating to watch this project semi-freeze, especially since it's so simple as a) 95% of it can be done through the dialog editor and mapper, which I know how to use quite well (there is not even a worldmap), and b) it's quite a small project. The main problem for me is the engine starting point, which is clogged up with things from zillions servers and stuff that rely on older versions of FOnline (e.g. vars in the dialog editors). As it is a solo project, I should probably transition to Fallout 2, but the mapper and dialog editor there are really painful when you're used to FOnline's tools.
