Anyway, you can tell... we're getting close-ish.

Wipe can be done in a few seconds, but it makes no sense to wipe the server if the next update isn't finished yet.

3D is getting kinda near too (check the sub-forum) most (if not all) weapons are done and the majority of male armor is done too. However, it's unknown when will a wipe come.

There are radtoads- so why not have rains of frogs, radiation storms, raider attacks on cities, zombies entering encounters in wilderness, etc.

Prewipe can be so much fun- a week long event!

Hey, we got Anklav attack and nuke on towns (resulting in players becoming ghouls) one time!

If we have the time (takes quite some time to prepare this stuff ;) ) we will do similar stuff, so don't worry, it won't come just out of the blue. I quite enjoyed the wipe you mentionend and would like to see similar stuff again, so I'll just pester the others about that. :P
But still, please remember that wiping stuff and preparing events before it all depends on the freetime of our team, and is always just optional, not mandatory.

The problem with idolized persons is not the consequence of having high or low reputation, the problem is in how you gain (and keep your) reputation with a faction.

You mean RES.? Actually we're not friends, I simply stoped killing him because it's fun see him killing poor bluesuits, he brings some difference to NCR, and if you kill RES. he won't return =(
So that's the only reason why I don't kill him.

And about "abusing killing poor bluesuiters", never saw that, I never attack 1st and had a reason to shoot, let me guess, you're one of those trolls with similar names? Just don't touch me and I won't touch you. Also other idolized except for RES. never kill everything on sight, you're just a troll or annoying person or suicidal killer or something else, if we're killing you. Or you're too unlucky and come to NCR everytime when RES. is there ^_^
Also who cares, even if I was mindless murderer and was shooting everything on sight, reputation is a feature.

C: It's a very easy to fix bug, that was uncovered with the latest new features, and just needs another update to plug the holes. etc.

Omg of couse, I made idozlied not just to stand there and do nothing, of couse I killed players, but again, I wasn't killing someone for no reason, except for thieves who didn't failed on me/friends, so yeah, it's a abit exploit, usually I shot 2nd and never 1st to people who did nothing to me or... well those evil pks, just protected them ^_^ and anyway who cares.

Ps: Ive instaled F2238 in 2 pcs, one is Windows 7 and its working fine, but the other one has xp 64 bits and F1-F6 keys are not working, the weird thing is that q,w and arrows are, anyone can help me out?

Sadly I'm too tired to think about suggestions to fixing your xp problem but you should be happy about people talking about a wipe, although it's still unknown when it will come, this way you get a chance to play the game and get used to it and then you get to play it when everything is restarted (which i consider the best time since no one has 50+ ba's and every type of weapon just sitting on the ground) Early on losing shit actually matters which makes it fun.

Wipe will come when all is done that is needed before the wipe. When this will be, nobody knows yet. I personally doubt it will happen until the end of the month. This does *not* mean that a wipe will happen at the end of the month. Nobody knows yet and if we will wipe, we will announce it some days before.
Title: Re: The Wipe
Post by: Graf on March 02, 2011, 07:00:46 pm
@Lexx, Does your current "to-do until wipe list" includes implementing of 3D player characters? It makes sense to use even current version of 3D for testing purposes (I mean, only "strong" type of body), ofc only when all animations will be done.

Maybe they can increase run speed just a little? 9% ?  running in and out of town is just painful.
I realize it has to be toned down so in PVP battles people aren't just zipping around impossible to shoot at,
but compared to classic fallout run speeds its just too much.

And is something going to be done about traveling on world map?  that is also painfully slow XD

I've been waiting for the wipe many days now, is it even comming?
I want to start after the wipe so I can reach the highest level without
stress. The character I have now is like level 4 and I choosed the wrong tags,
skills and S.P.E.C.I.A.L skills etc. So, I want to make a new character but it
seems pointless to do a new character if wipe is comming. So can anyone answer...

Heh, i won't even bother leveling up, the wipe seems so close now... When, we'll probably never find out, except for the very end, or even suddenly "incorrect login or password"-'ed and then a grin splits your face - everything changed again, for a year, whatever that should mean.

Sounds not logical at all. The 3D models are made for further implementation, so why the developers wouldn't add them when ready?

I mean that wipe don't come just if we got 3d models ready there is also scripting/bugfixes by Devs.

I talking truft, but maybe i just got typos on my post :P
Title: Re: The Wipe

Honestly... though, it's coming soon. Don't let anyone fool you.  A month or two at most. 
And I don't think 3D player characters with be available with Wipe.  there;s just karpov. if 99% of players made models, there's still just karpov doing animations.  we need more animators.

Just swap the 3D object for a 2D sprite/etc.

Client side.

Just a flag: 1= 3D, 0 = old style.

Think first people.

After 3d will be implemented, new content will be also implemented. Who needs to maintain 2 versions? Animation speed, content,  whatever...
Title: Re: The Wipe
Post by: Haraldx on March 22, 2011, 10:15:39 am
Advantages of 3D:
* New critters can be made MUCH faster.
* New weapons only will need inventory image and a 3D model.
* Allows us to change animation speed.
* Customisable characters, no more need to ask GMs for a skin change.
* If we get stuff like ghouls and SMutants in 3D, we will be able to play as them too.

Disadvantages of 3D:
* Huge FPS drops (FOnline engine is already very slow, it seems to eat a lot of computer resources, even if it has to render about 6 rats)
* Haters gonna hate

Just drop FOnline settings to low and also there is many way to make computer faster.

Title: Re: The Wipe

Only program running - FOnline
Can play CoD MW2 Low/Medium graphics, 1024x800, 40-60 fps, if more than 12 players in a huge map 25-40 fps.
FOnline 1280x1024 fps in a tent with me being the only char 40-60, fps in NCR with about 6 people 30-40, fps while scrolling the camera in a battle 15-35.

Now tell me, is FOnline engine slow or CoD engine is very optimized.

Because 1024x768 fullscreen was pain in my computer and that's why changed it to 800x600 windowed and i got almost always 59-60 FPS and 160-220 ping.

It will be either all 3d or nothing.

Only program running - FOnline
Can play CoD MW2 Low/Medium graphics, 1024x800, 40-60 fps, if more than 12 players in a huge map 25-40 fps.
FOnline 1280x1024 fps in a tent with me being the only char 40-60, fps in NCR with about 6 people 30-40, fps while scrolling the camera in a battle 15-35.

Now tell me, is FOnline engine slow or CoD engine is very optimized.

No idea what you're talking about, even on events when there's tons of people all shooting I have no issues

The only thing you can do with optimizing 3D is to upload models with lesser polycount.
Also, 3D test on TLA is about to over in a few days, since everything seems to be working fine, so most likely there will be no more server-side optimization.

That's not true. Texture compression, frustrum and occlusion culling, LOD, clip planes, hardware instancing, combining meshes into one batch, removing unused bones, reducing lights just to name a few.

You cannot really cull anything in FOnline  ::).
However LOD would be definetly useful, so there wouldn't be any excuse to do high-poly weapons just because they are rare.
Lights are not currently computed in shaders at all, only static "sunlight".

The first one sounds like it was thought up by drunk teenagers. >,.,>

The second should be named "Mexican cherry thief".

The wipe will come when the features we want to be ready for it are ready for it, not simply when people feel like it.

Dont waste time for answears, back to WORK!

It would be good to know what features have been done and which are in progress. Something similar to 3D-things track list.

But unlike 3D models, they don't need your opinion on gameplay changes, or at least not that badly.
If they prefer to surprise us, we should respect it.

I bet that some of their ideas are wrong and there will be a lot o crying on forum.

Information about progress could stoped people to asking about wipe.

we aren't going to be debating every change with players, it would just be unworkable. Plus the surprise of when the wipe changelog is put up is one of the best things about a wipe :)

We might post a teaser again, short before the wipe. Like we have done the last time.
