I dont quite understand the datafiles.cfg, what do I do there?

Because I think I put all the files in the right place, but now it just closes immediately

Because I think I put all the files in the right place, but now it just closes immediately

in main folder: DataFiles.cfg, Assimp32.dll, FO2238Config.exe, FOConfig.exe, FOnline.exe, FOnlineGL.exe
in "data" subfolder: faction001.zip, faction.zip, factioncritters.zip
in "data/cache" subfolder: default.cache

Try both FOnline.exe and FOnlineGL.exe.

If it doesn't work it's either something in newest client or you don't have FOnline.cfg/DataFiles2238.cfg
You can create them by running config apps.

Run FOConfig.exe and in "Net" tab setup server IP / port as 94.23.237.127 / 2238
Run FO2238Config.exe and in "Data Files" tab give paths to Fallout 2 Master.dat and Critter.dat.

I did everything you told me and this is what it gave me

Starting FOnline (version 0415-E7)...
Engine initialization...
Sprite manager initialization...
Animation3d::StartUp - Fail to create effect, skinning switched to software.
Load sprite 'egg.png' fail. Egg disabled.
Sprite manager initialization complete.
SpriteManager::LoadFontFO - File<OldDefault.fofnt> not found.
FOnline engine initialization fail.
FOnline finished.

Check, if you have proper paths given in DataFiles.cfg for these files:

Code: [Select]

include Datafiles2238.cfg
data\factioncritters.zip
data\faction.zip
data\faction001.zipIn case you haven't figured it out yet.

Can you post your config file so I know how mine should look?

Never mind the update server seems to be fine now, thanks for everyone's help though.
