Hello,
I am opening this topic because just a while ago I started going from Den to NCR, but in a minute or so my internet connection dropped while I was walking over the worldmap and I had no internet connection about 5-6 mins. I was full of stuff like weaps-ammo, armor, money and hq materials - was going to craft items. I entered the game and presumably I was killed.
So I think implementing such negotiation feature like "ping" - ex. is the client responsive at the current moment - before encounter(I am not very sure how communication is organized in the engine) should be good and not hard to implement. Clients playing over wireless connection could also suffer such data loss while roaming or other obstacles for the media on which goes the data and that is very unpleasant experience.

Regards,
Ed

fixing this could be as simple as adding in a small pop up that says "you encounter something in the wastes" that works just like if you found something, but it only allows you to enter the encounter, rather than automaticly dropping you in to the encounter.

you just need to make sure the window doesnt go away one you log back in and leaves you stuck on it untill you click "enter encounter", other than that, the only other good side to make up for having to click the damn thing over and over again, is being given a chance to talk tactics with your party if you have one, or heal etc.

Nah, I meant something simpler, like "ping", invisible to the player because additional windows in such case could be very irritating if you are playing for longer time and traveling at longer distances

P.S. Does somebody know where I can find the FOnline engine source/SDK so I could post adequate suggestions or patches?
Regards,

The source or SDK hasn't been released publically yet.

The last thing I've read was something about a release in upcoming August.

And besides it won't be 2238 you will be developing for, they are not planning to release their scripts. I don't see a reason to play 2238 anymore when SDK is out. Imo they made some very bad moves to try and balance things.

Can't wait for release.

True... I will try NOT to look at the whole source, otherwise the magic will be really lost
You are right despite the fact that nobody from the "big wheel" ( reference - *BSD ) answered this topic.
I hope someone does something about this problem... I am saying goodbye to my optic connections because I am moving to another apartment.
