Title: Call for donations
Post by: Bartosz on May 12, 2011, 10:49:57 am: Time's running fast, and the drill is as usual...

We need to gather 130e till the end of that month, I'm pretty sure we will, we always do.

We're also aware of everything that's said in regard of the donations, i'm not addressing any of these issues here, however, it's not like we're not reading/listening - this is just reminder message, no need to start futher discussions.

Remember, server shutdown can happen here unless we...keep'em firing!

Post by: Andr3aZ on May 12, 2011, 04:37:48 pm: This is the least i can do to show my appreciation for all the hard work the developers and the rest of the team have done in the past. I'm glad to help keeping the project up and running.
Thank you for your great work!

Post by: Cola on May 12, 2011, 10:41:55 pm: I don't have the best economy at the moment so I'm sorry but I won't donate at this time.
However, I would like to thank all of the developers, testers, game masters and all the players for
participating & building this great modification. :)

I will probably donate the next time if my economy is better.
Anyways I really appriciate the work you are doing and I'm honored to be a part of the community.

Why do you follow him everywhere repeating the same? He has done nothing wrong and wrote a normal post. Give him a break.

Post by: Surf on May 12, 2011, 11:56:49 pm: I see someone being a bit over enthusiastic, but I can hardly say that it's something bad. Better then people insulting each other all day on the forums.
Title: Re: Call for donations
Post by: Hololasima on May 12, 2011, 11:59:30 pm: Yeah, maybe its better than insulting, i agree. But this, what Cola is doing on forum is just pathetic and funny. I dont believe him any single word, "I appreciate" here and "Keep doing great job" there and so and so ...

I am really sorry for offtopic. Feel free to erase my posts, anyone

Heh, since you've managed to perform quick and small argument in few short posts, without overdiscussing, I'm not erasing anything, it's ok:)

Post by: Xarr on May 13, 2011, 01:49:59 pm: Sorry, Can't donate anything. I am happy if i can get something to eat. ;)

P.S. Seems like hololasima sees everything negative :/
Title: Re: Call for donations
Post by: Cryofluid on May 13, 2011, 06:00:25 pm: I have donated too but I will quote one of my fellows who didn't donate this time:

Quote
I do not care that the game is over or not, I do not care if there are bugs or not, I do not care that the update is long to arrive ...
Yet, if I have to contribute in some way or another in a game, I want to know what's going on:

- Ideas that are debated, tracks on which developpers are thinking about ... This in order to have a very vague idea of what could become the game
- Current Game progress: “we have finished such a script, well ... we're working on the game engine, you will understand nothing but this still happens ...”

To sum up: some little communication

We are working on bigger changes that requires a wipe and new server/client versions, that's why we haven't been doing any larger updates for a long time.

Btw, if players make some domination maps, would we have a chance to see it at wipe? What must look like these maps?

This, and the fact that you're awesome enough to donate sufficient amounts, regardles of whether we manage to release nice update/do wipe, or not:) With this, we haven't run into troubles so far, so we don't need to put dirty adverts on forum.

Keeping it cool, no ads, I'm a big fan.

Consider me down for a dono.

Post by: TKs-Xav on August 03, 2011, 04:28:18 am: yeah you got me down for one too, but i don't have Euros, you're going to have to accept my USD garbage
Title: Re: Call for donations
Post by: Bartosz on August 03, 2011, 08:29:11 am: Thanks for all the bucks and caps! Ongoing donations are more than very welcome, so that we can avoid 'panic mode' during last month of server rental.
Title: Re: Call for donations
Post by: Slaver Snipe on August 03, 2011, 10:26:58 am: "Panic mode" is very fun though, i enjoyed the US debt ceiling problems (I'm from the US but I kinda want to see what would happen if it hadn't been raised) and I enjoy it when it becomes a frenzy on the server ;D

Title: Re: Call for donations
Post by: Bartosz on August 05, 2011, 10:59:10 am: While we're talking here, it turned out that indeed soon we will enter the 'panic mode', because only one month of rental has left, and we need to gather caps for more.

Luckily, we've got some left from last period + some ongoing donations, so we need only about ~70euro more to rent for another 3 months. That's not much I guess, keep it coming!

Yeah, but then we would release something only for money, and it wouldn't be as good as it could be, imagine what would you think of us then...
Title: Re: Call for donations
Post by: TKs-Xav on August 05, 2011, 01:36:50 pm: Yeah, i imagine that FOnline wouldn't hog much resources to host being the game is pretty old, is hosting it yourselves ever a possibility?

Elaborate:)
Title: Re: Call for donations
Post by: TKs-Xav on August 05, 2011, 01:58:11 pm: Pentium 90 and 16MB of RAM. Fallout 2 runs only under Windows 95+. You get to choose between four install versions, the smallest requiring little more than 1MB of disk space, the largest more than 600, but you can play it without the CD - that is Fallout 2's system requirements. Now I know Fonline isn't the same, but its using the same Engine as fallout 2. So I can't imagine that you need a -beast- of a server to host this.

Who told you that? It's totally different engine.

Requirements ? A Computer ! IF U played Fallout 3 then U culd SURELY run this game. I personally played Fallout3 and NV on maximum graphics so I don't have any trouble running this game.

Post by: Handyman on August 05, 2011, 11:56:16 pm: correct me if i'm wrong, the guys running it on windows, or not ... coz before first wipe they did and it occur lots of lags before they fixxed it... and about hosting, they rent server which can carry about 600 with small lags or big can't remeber the times

im not worried about running the game, wondering how strong of a system you would need to host the server for 2238
For sdk:
CPU: required 2.8GHz+ (for testing 1GHz is enough, but only for testing)
RAM: for testing: minimum 1GB, minumum for server 2GB, required 3GB+
HDD: 10GB is enough, FOnlineServer doesn't takes too much
Bandwidth: at least 1Mbit upload, download doesn't matter (it should be symmetric :>)

But it's only my opinion.
