Fonline 2238 Early source request (2009-2010)

Hello Rotators, hello everyone. I would like to know if you saved the state of the server during this period and if you could release it.

For me it was the best fonline period. I think it had around 400-500 players... I don't know the exact year or months but I remember two major sessions. I will try to give you many details so you can know more accurately the sources from what period I am looking for.

*One where you could take all drugs twice, wasn't able to zoom in or zoom out. Of course no bindings for super stimpaks, aiming etc. Maximum level 21 !!!

*A little bit after one where you could take drugs only one time, I remember that the NCR map was not enlarged at this time. NCR was very populated ! Stealing was very used, we were able to steal BoS patrols. We were able to loot from BoS vs Mutants encounters. Maximum HPs were around 250 ! Starting HPs on a new character were around 30. Maximum level 21 !!! You still needed 3 charisma to talk to traders and most NPCs and to carry 2 players. 21 level build system.
Cooldown on crafting, cooldown to change characters (3 minutes) You could not add players to your tent after it was created.
Devs/Game masters tested people connected on same ip adress to see if they were multi logging or if it was just different players playing at the same place !
Rusty the GM had fun jumping in frog at NCR from time to time instead of managing the server (sorry Rusty). A player named "Larry Rotgut" used to afk in NCR 24/7. Awareness took a perk slot. Brotherhoood armor was the best armor you could craft/obtain normally and not CAmk2. You could win caps by putting them into FLCs banks with interests ( I remember the day when you stopped this and I lost 6 millions, now I don't trust banks irl)

PS : I don't think Hinkley existed during that time.

Period I am NOT interested in : Enlarged NCR, helmets, LSW nerf, Gatling laser buff (aka 666 crit one shot), M60 walking, Increased starting and max HPs, fast relog waves in PvP ( fast relog allowed), rollbacks period/slow server, maximum level 24, TC reputation system,

I can be wrong about the year since it was long time ago and I only use my memory but I really hope these states of the server is not LOST...

kompreSor:
as i remember somebody already ask for it and answer was no saved old source, nostalgia its good but only for few days...

there was short project to make 2238 back to 3rd season: https://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,29812.0.html

NarrowMinded:
Hello, thank you kompreSor.

edit : I have read the Sega_rus posts..but unfortunately he didn't post any source or anything I/we could use.
I will try to contact him personally later. Until then I am still searching.

Ghosthack:
You'll need to take the latest 2238 code and just remove/make the changes you want until it's like you want. Please don't think that you can build a time machine from this and that there will be 500 players on the server all of sudden because you've restored some earlier mythical version, maybe focus on building something new with the tools and knowledge of today?

Like kompreSor said, nostalgia is powerful but you may ruin your memories if you think you can go back to 2009, a lot has changed in 10 years since then... as an example, most forums are dying, IRC is dying everyone is on discord etc, smartphones was hardly a thing back then.

NarrowMinded:
Thank you Ghosthack, so I have got my answer. There is no save...
And I understood your point :)

Edit : I am thinking about it and I had a question, during that period when you made updates. You had some kind of saves right ? To be able to roll back and come back to the previous state of the server. Did you delete these archives later or what happened ? I stated myself "there is no save" but in your message you're not directly saying it.
