Title: Pre-configured FOnline:2238 client
Post by: JovankaB on March 04, 2012, 11:50:32 am

This FOnline:2238 client is pre-configured by me, which makes it easier to run.
Try it if you have a problem with "official" client. I also recommend it for any new player.

» download FOnline:2238 client «  (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3880395/2238/FOnline2238.zip)

Installation instructions

• Download and unzip the file FOnline2238.zip
• Copy master.dat and critter.dat into data folder OR run FO2238Config.exe and in DataFiles
  tab specify paths to master.dat and critter.dat.

FAQ

• Where can I get master.dat and critter.dat from?
• These files are part of Fallout 2.
  To get them you can buy Fallout 2 on gog.com (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout_2) as well as in many other places (http://www.google.com/search?q=buy+fallout+2).

• OK, I have both dat files, paths are set up correctly, but I still can't run FOnline!
• Run Updater.exe. Try both FOnline.exe and FOnlineGL.exe.
  If it still doesn't work, this thread (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,3853.0.html) is the best place to look for help.

This client is preconfigured version of the official client. I prepare it by hand, so sometimes it may
be out-of-date. In such case simply run updater. If updater doesn't work, you can get the files you
need individually from http://fonline2238.net/update/ (http://fonline2238.net/update/).

The official client can be downloaded from http://fonline2238.net/files/FOnline2238_Client.zip (http://fonline2238.net/files/FOnline2238_Client.zip).
It's updated automatically every hour, but more difficult to set up compared to my release.

Full list of differences between my release and official release
 - Added file Readme.txt with information about Master.dat and Critter.dat.
 - Added folder Manual with link to FOnline wiki.
 - Added file FOnline.cfg (so you don't have to run FOConfig.exe), differences compared to
default configuration:

• English language instead of Russian
• Running is enabled by default
• Fixed FPS is set to -15 instead of 100
• Server host and port is configured properly
• Updater paths are configured properly

- Added file FOnline2238.cfg (so you don't have to run FO2238Config.exe unless you want to
have Master.dat and Critter.dat outside of data folder), differences compared to default configuration:

• Displaying player names enabled

- Added file DataFiles2238.cfg with default paths to Master.dat and Critter.dat pointing to data folder.

Alternative for people who downloaded a client already
If you downloaded a client already, it doesn't work but you don't want to download the whole thing
again because of the file size, you can try just downloading the configuration files (less than 2 KB):
» download config files «  (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3880395/2238/Config2238.zip)
Unzip them in your FOnline folder then copy master.dat and critter.dat into data folder
OR run FO2238Config.exe and in DataFiles tab specify paths to master.dat and critter.dat.
