FIXES:
- Fixes for a lot of bugs that can be blamed on client-server protocol (known instances include: hangs while entering a map; messed parameters or name after logging in; map items appearing misplaced; map items appearing inside inventory; random disconnecting; misplaced npcs; and more).
- Fix for creating new factions (limit increased to 8192)*.
- Fix for wrong sprites display.
IMPORTANT:
- Run the updater.
- * In case of (not probable) total failure of faction database, a total backup from 20 minutes ago exists.
- Somewhere around 23:00 Central European Time, half of the cars that were lost in encounters more than 6 weeks ago, under various circumstances, withouth any possibility to determine their owners will be deleted, while the other half will be made visible for everyone. That's around 150 cars to be freed from memory taken.
-
Another update...Where to find that database where is 8192 Faction names???

I guess hes talking about something different. Recently, we had free faction names, but due to old limit, we couldnt create more. Now the limit is raised and creating new factions should work

No no, lets say there was limit for faction set at 1000. There were free faction names, but due to faction limit, you couldnt create new. Now the limit should be raised
-
Good work. Thank you.
-
about this cars.... they will be already lockpicked or we will lockpick them?
-
i download, clear the cache, reset and it freezes in the first load picture,
it happens to me since 4 changelogs before, last time i dont know how it was fixed
this is very sad...
also you white eagle pk, you kill my lvl1 alt, i have nothing in my inventory XD
now is magically working, i never understand this, thanks for nothing, erase this post
-
I don't see any car...
-
he wrote around 23:00 so thats mean it can be at 01:00 too, i guess ::)
-
Car scavenger hunt rocks. Found 3 in 5 minutes. Reminds me of the days when caravans were scattered all across the map.
Note: Awesome encounter in 19:29

Saw 8 near Reno, cars cars cars!
-
many trash around resp place XD
-
hehe managed to get 1 car
Just be aware that most car encounters are camped by now
-
5 scouts, 3 hummers, on highwayman.
I got over 2 million worth of stuff inside them as well to approximate, 1 million coming from a single scout near San Fran with so much farmed shit and ammo I nearly pissed myself.
Btw...(http://thumbnails33.imagebam.com/12265/415c52122646886.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/415c52122646886)
We weren't camping!! But people just KEPT COMING IN, this was near water works, I came in with one car and the scout in there, then two people came in with those cars... and all my gangmates start taking over... then we just sort of... killed everyone and took everything :D.
Was prolly the biggest reason we didnt more cars afterwards, but it was totally worth it. Too much loot in fact, especially in the highwayman O.o.
btw there is encounter near Gunrunners with 5 mutants Insta killing everyone, there is so much fugging loot and cars LMAO.
BTW, speaking of GunRunners: (http://thumbnails33.imagebam.com/12265/7fd1a7122647868.jpg) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/7fd1a7122647868)
Problem?
-
Looks like fun...
If devs would have spawn the cars at 23:00 as stated it would have been even bigger fun with at least 3 times more players.
-
So yeah, americans are much more rich :)
-
Devs, u r wiped all wagons from my bases
I' m using them as facilities for ammo and weapons
Look, that was before
http://www.imagebam.com/image/24c103122678979
Now its looks like
http://www.imagebam.com/image/5c35a6122678991
Also, my tent:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/434001122678995
My other base:
http://www.imagebam.com/image/3b619c122678986
Stealing by someone is impossible, cuz everything other are there.
Right now im havent no one bullet!
Why???
-
The reports about lost money, cars and characters make me worry...
One invest time in game goods, only to lose it in a blink of eye, to never be refunded again? My leveling will have to wait.
-
my cart was also wiped
-
Well, thats part of beta too, now devs know that some cars that were "used" have been affected too.
Or it was a evil strike against car owners to keep the number of cars low in the wasteland ;)
-
Carts have a fixed price
-
I can add my butthurt here ;D
Lost ALL faction ammo, meds and drugs ;D (stored in 2 caravans)
Over 10000 223 , 50000 5mm and etc. etc. ;D

Yep, my friend lost 100 000 5mm AP and lots of others things stored in caravans.
-
Same problem, we lost 3 caravans full of stuff... SG ammo, BG ammo, and drugs...
-
Lost a Scout full of everything we owned. 11,000 caps, rocket launcher, Light Support Weapon,
We were just starting out and bought the scout instead of a base, and stored it at our tent.
We returned and it was gone. We lost everything and half of my group quit out of frustration. Why does stuff like this even happen if it screws over WAY more people than it helps? We were all set to sell some of the stuff to buy a base, but now we can't even take advantage of the "More Factions Available" thing.
-
Several "extra" deleted cars will be restored later today. This will affect only cars that were stored in tents or bases.
[edit] The cars have been restored.

Thumbs up, developers! ;D

Deep thanks :D

Is there anything new info about that 'invalid town name' debug? Anything founded?
-
next update when?
-
When it's done.
-
Saw 8 near Reno, cars cars cars!
OFCOURSE a Game Master would see them before all others.
-
Cryptopsy - last post was in April - nice timing.
-

Yes, of course all of my previous normal characters have 9999hp, full vision of map, I teleport with all of my characters, every character is immortal and kills anything with one shot. Also I can easily force a car location to pop up everytime I want.
Really now, if you think that I can't play with normal characters and have fun in this game normally, I have bad news for you
-
Aha so you use a special DKS build with perhaps 10 END about 1218x lifegiver perk?
-
Cryptopsy - last post was in April - nice timing.
Doesn't matter. Was topic locked? Nope. Then go ahead and be about your business, boy.

Section 8 transforms inocent bluesuits in
a) a red suit
b) a green suit
anyway, i realy whant some new news, i feel like it was agest since last server update
-
is this game dying??
-
is this game dying??
Yes since a very long time.
-
Yes since a very long time.
Since the start of open tests, to be precise*
Well, it's the real life. As usually...
*can't fine the author, and the real source of the words that had been said back then, though
-
is this game dying??
I would rather say the game is already dead. Check the stats. No new players, no updates, no wipes. I dont believe that people after one year season still wait for wipe. Who is stupid enough? Its over man.
-
lol. :)
-
lol. :)
When would be next update? lol. :)

You're still here, so you are either a necrophile or stupid enough to wait ;D

Browsing Forum doesnt mean that hes playing.
-
Not playing doesnt mean he's not waiting for a wipe.
-

I browse forum for teh lulz looking at that all things :D
and again you guys rox nearly half year no update :D
-

There isn't life after the bomb
-
There are players who are showing up some who tried before and now again and others who are just starting.
The wait for wipe drops of a lot of guy still anytime I log in I see that the leadership of towns changed again.
-
what was all about?
i just came back from a little recess of play and everything is the same, i even find new players.
This game IS NOT DYING, being sincerously the verb "dying" is incorrect: the game is agonizing very slowly, everything in the real-life dies slowly, we all are "dying" slowly, but it doesnt mean than we are already dead.
-
I think 2238 golden age has already gone.
It's very sad to think that some very good game stopped, but hey.. everything ends someday.
So.. could you already stop talking about game "dying" and other damn annoing things.
Even you want to change future of 2238, but you simply cannot. It ends anyway soon or later.
-
LOL what you just said is more anonying than "the game is dying". The golden age of this game isnt gone, the game never had that.
Quoting the good Surf (or Solar, i always get confused about who is who) "We will still jobing in the game even if we dont have enough money to pay the server or if nobody wants to play it (exepting the devs)" Devs have a big compromise with this game, even if they stop of work for any personal reason they will work again, they WILL end the new update, wipe will come, players will come again and the game will be full of fresh greens again.
i trust that there will always be people wanting to play this game, including myself, now shut up all and dont turn the devs into emo faggots XD ;D.
-
Yeah i agree with you.
There will be always people who like play 2238 (Like me :P, i got my reasons to stay)
I saw most players talking much about 2nd season.. and i always though it was "golden age" of 2238, but of course i can be wrong too.
-

well i am, still waiting for alpha fonline!

Why my previous post with question about when update will be was deleted from forum ?? ! is this so hard for you to answer it? or you are affraid that people know about that noone is working on this game and there will be no update/wipe ....
-

I guess it was deleted because you've asked same question that's been asked several times.
-
I saw Changelog xx/xx/xxxx and almost had heartattack... screw you! ;)
-

Happened me more than once :(
But still.. we have waited for too long already. Maybe just some little info about updates?
-
jeeze louise, look heres the breakdown. they wont be updating till all the 3d graphics they want done are done. they dont want to put out an incomplete update and listen to people complain till they can finish. its obvious to me that once the 3d graphics are all done and uploaded should you expect an update, if you really want to know how close they are look at the 3d development tracker and if thats still not good enough than contribute to and get it done quicker.
-
It was many times said that 3d development progress has nothing to do with incoming wipe.
-
maybe not wipe but definently update. they can wipe and not update, but what would be the point of that. its a fact that the devs have never announced when or what they are doing, they prefer to keep everyone in the dark as much as possible, do you think they would actually tell you if it did?? come on get real, they enjoy the game of cat and mouse.
-
As far as I'm aware, the 3D stuff has nothing to do with any impending wipe or update or anything. Wipes and updates are done by the 2238 devs, the 3D stuff is currently being done by the forum community. I'd imagine there'll be several "game content" updates and probably a wipe or two before the 3D stuff is usable. Once the 3D stuff is nearing "game ready", then there'll probably be a connection between 3D stuff and updates, but as far as the next few updates are concerned, you may as well ignore the 3D stuff entirely.
The 3D stuff is fairly "transparent" with development. Other than some planning by PM, nearly everything is posted publicly on the 3D Development board. It will have little effect on gameplay, so there's little to discuss beyond "It looks good" or "it doesn't look good enough" or "try doing it this way". Most people agree, and most people are aiming for the same end result.
In contrast, for changes in the actual game (i.e. updates / wipes), every possible subject has a 10-page long suggestion or discussion or argument thread already. Changing a couple of numbers has a massive effect on balance and there are many different groups of people with opposing views on what would make the game better. Larger changes such as an overhaul of crafting or stealing etc probably need hours and hours of planning, writing and testing. Given that as things are, there's already hundreds of suggestion / discussion threads on every possible subject, I think it's understandable that they're not posting an update on every line of code that is written.
-
I saw Changelog xx/xx/xxxx and almost had heartattack... screw you! ;)
Happened to me as well. It was back in July the 3rd...think US date notation:)
Anyway, there is stuff that's done, there is stuff that's prepared but needs few things to be connected, there is stuff we'd like to introduce to make you happy, but may take even more time so even we have not yet decided what will make into the next update, and what not.
And there is that damned lack of time... (remember most of us have fulltime jobs, some of us have kids).
-
Im getting boring of people crying about update...yes it is sad to see 07/03/2011.
I've been playing some old games with an emulator. seriously, tears come to my eyes when i see the pixeled Dingodile smashing pixeled boxes in Crash Bash. Why somebody never make a Crashonline?
You devs are part of that 0.001% of the people who have the balls to make something and not just stay dreaming or waiting for somebody other to do the stuff.
But yes: screw you time.
-
And there is that damned lack of time... (remember most of us have fulltime jobs, some of us have kids).
I understand you pretty well because i too don't have much freetime.... but you know it is sad that only possible way to get some info from dev's is to start small flamewar.... i just like this game and im waiting for more :)
-
wow lastest changelog was more than half year ago, now i see why this server is almost empty
-
Or just everything is fine as it is and server dosen't need any changes.
-

Epic quote warning!
-
i like server as is, really all it needs is a wipe so we all have a reason to start playing again.
-
so just tell me why serwer is almost empty, year ago was a lot of players ewerywhere, and was fun now city's are dead :/ , so what u both like playing whidowt players, better try some single player games!
-
dude server i dead because there has been no wipe for over a year. that means theres no challange people like a challenge as simple as that. longer the session is the more hoard we got which means game because less difficult.

There will not be any challenge even after wipe if it will not bring new features ....
Maybe only for masochists ...

Check closed beta discussion.

Masochism is my reason to play this game, so im still waiting...
