Well, tell me if FOnline Engine is still in development or not because what we can see from official repository, there are not any updates at all.

why you want fix for engine? is not good enough as delivered on xp dev? you think needs improvement? then maybe you find job with coder of belarus! you have drinks with cvettinsky, trade story of many scripts written and details of school for programming.

Sad but true, all the tools created for older revs are incompatible since he changed all the file formats so even less reason to move to newer revs.

As i know at least few teams deving on fresh revisions, it just takes time to release something.
Old sdk was like "ready game from the box" and new one lacks ready content, so you wont see "new fonline server" anouncement every day.

412 was pretty good, still it have so much major engine hardcoded bugs and exploits, so fixing it just waste of time.

r412 would be a great starting point for, you know, fixing things and making engine more friendly to devs who wants to add new shiny stuff in.
At this point most interested people are already familiar with all its goods and bads, so they know exactly which parts need changes. Making it actually usuable by focusing on mentioned bugs and exploits might feel like a waste of time at start, but it would pay off once you have stable server/client. Actual maintaining, which often has been skipped in past :)

Can you say more about those mods or games which you wrote? What kinds of projects? Where can we find out more about current games based on fonline engine?

Is there an option to make other branch than master from rev 412 and start putting there fixes, missing functions, etc when these will be listed here?

Are there any Discord or place where can anybody talk with main creators of the engine?

I think remake posted a great suggestion but I can not understand why still in 2018 year still the engine and stuff related to that are not well maintaned. I think open source fork would be good idea to make some progress and maybe do not fight separately on things which could be done quicker by co-op.

There is whole forum focused on FOnline development - http://fonline.ru/forum/
So you really no need to "fight separately on things which could be done quicker by co-op".

There's nobody but cvet to maintain it, or so i think. I don't know details about deal with Last Frontier publisher back then, but one of points i know about was to cut any third party from accessing engine source. What happened next is just a wild guess, but some of us still checked public sdk commitlog from time to time, and it still was looking like cvet is working on source alone - or there are new people but old source policies are still in place, making progress slower than it could be (at least in theory).

I think open source fork would be good idea to make some progress
I don't believe that's ever gonna happen, as long Last Frontier (or its corpse ;)) is around.
What could work, at least from perspective of someone who worked with engine in past, is...
...as starting point. And yeah, it's a rough draft for community edition, not fork. There was a chance for open source long time ago, but it didn't happen then, and with it won't happen now; i'd love to see cvet proving me wrong, but that's simply unreal in my eyes.

Now you "only" need to know if cvet can/want to give away source from before Last Frontier deal, find person(s) who are able and willing to deal with engine and just wait for glorious patches and updates. Shouldn't be hard, right? ;)

But now I back and back to work on SDK and Last Frontier.
Also I give source to Rotators group for topic purposes.
