Title: Jumping into the 3d era
Post by: Lexx on March 06, 2010, 12:17:53 pm
(or: how we learned to not be that flat anymore.)

A long time has passed since we released our last developer video and really, it was about time this changed. The new developers video features a topic that we have been working on for some months and we are proud to finally have it in a shape to present it to the public: 3D models.

We decided to move the FOnline engine from a pure 2d to a 2.5d engine, due to the fact that sprite editing is a long and tiresome job. With every change on the player characters, it is nesaccary to edit more than 10.000 single images, even if it's something simple like a different hair color or a new armor type. The use of 3D models helps us in developing more and diversified content in a shorter timer span and still keep the look and feel of the original games.

After the release of the first 3d model converter for the Van Buren models (Van Buren - the code name of the cancled Fallout 3 by Interplay, for the ones who don't know it), we thought it was a great idea to reuse the material we could get out of the tech demo that has been released in 2007. Even if not complete, the build featured character models with already more than 90 animations and a lot customisations for body type or hair and beard styles.

In the third developers video, Anton "Cvet" Tsvetinskiy, FOnline main programmer, is talking about the details of how the new 3d critters are working and will work in the future of FOnline: 2238. Check it out:

Videos & Audio on ModDB (http://www.moddb.com/games/fonline-2238/videos/fonline-2238-developers-video-22) or YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0NtCHSjNoc).

The first update-wave will introduce 3d models for the animal creatures, such as models for the rats, ants, venus mantrap, thorn slinger, desert stalker or the lovely rad toads. Also a big content update is going to hit the server, which includes new game features and quests for both, PvP and PvE-friends.

In combination with this, the server has to undergo a full wipe. This will happen in approx one or two weeks at most, when the update will be available on the public server.

As an appendix, beside the video, here are some actual ingame screenshots:

Ace dude, I love it. Hope to see this implemented for everyone ASAP.

BTW. I would like to see more blood there in scene where 3 paladins kill those creatures ... they should rip them into pieces.

Best regards.

Gore animations and particle effects are still on the to do list. Right now, there is no blood or splatter visible on the 3d models.

We hope that crashes are gone after wipe. If not, we'll hunt it until it is.

Very good, however, these models look a bit strange. This event certainly try but well, it will be possible to create an interesting character. There will be no problems with doing new characters and editing 10,000 sprites  ;). The only pity is that it is in Van Buren. Here, too, are interesting models http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=670.15

I  hope you do a "sit" animation, the one most important animation that doesnt exist in current fonline :(

Just a question, will there be only standing in fonline or will you add crouching/lying down for extra aim, or is that too much work :P

Yeah, that's only bad thing... Also it changes some rules, now "Awarness" perk need only for HP, you can see weapon yourself. Also beard.. mustache.. I don't think anyone can see your face, 'cause all faces are just some pixels.

It will give a option to see other players in detail.

Awareness will still have it's use, even if you can see more details now.

So you will introduce 3d models for some animals, then wipe.

Players will still remain 2d at the begining ?

You will wipe again introducing 3d models for the players then ?

HOLY CRAP, VAN BUREN ONLINE!

Awesome!

Sad to know however, that sprites die out. Will at least the extern rendered sceneries remain?
And will there be a option to add new content without wiping the server?

Post by: Badger on March 06, 2010, 02:59:27 pm
I like it.

I do remember, however, that that the female animations were done on the male skeleton, which is why they look kind of 'off'. Is that still the case, or have they been tweaked a bit?
Title: Re: FOnline: 2238, Jumping into the 3d era
Post by: Quentin Lang on March 06, 2010, 03:11:54 pm
I just tought, what about animations like burning from flamer, turning into meat from rocket, flying away from super sledge? Will that be in?

Is it necessary to wipe the server later again to implement new 3D Models, Gore etc. or can u implement them via normal updates after the wipe which will come now?
Title: Re: FOnline: 2238, Jumping into the 3d era
Post by: Attero on March 06, 2010, 03:53:40 pm
say i wonder... would it be possible for one to stay with 2d animations ? like his character npc characters that were covered till now, and possibly also other PC character to use old frames rather then new 3d?
after all i dont realy care if someone else is bold or not so we could just ignore the settings other have and just display them with standard animations.
only the possibly new added critters would need to be 3d ...

( i think it should be quite doable as animations are client side )

I'm also a bit sad about the oldstyle sprites... maybe but I think somebody will do oldschool looking models in some time. Generally 2.5d is cool, just don't change brahmins into cows, if there is no two-headed model lets stay with the sprite.

The wipe is independant of the 3D stuff, so adding extra stuff doesn't need a wipe.

But I guess a wipe doesnt really hurt, get rid of old characters that havn't been deleted and other shit ;)

Also its not that hard that hard to restart, if you play aloooot you can be lvl21 in a week.

Are there plans for duck/crawl animations as they were in FT? Also is it possible to add "ladder effect" into FO now aka climbing the buildings roof? Or is it going to be good old "change of floor=loading"?

Anyway its fantastic news, can't wait to see it in action.

Great thing ;) I didn't even realised it will look that good. Of course it's not like ol' good 2d - but it opens gate to much more variety(And will be great for RP'ers, I think ;])
What about TLA? It's going to stay 2d way? (People could have some alternative if they really hate new 3d thingie)

Anyway - Great Job! :)

EDIT:
Oh, I almost forgot - What about directions for modellers?

Three whole dimensions eh? As long as it remains fallout, I'm for it. Do you think we could have two-headed bears and other mutated fauna as reported elsewhere in fallout canon? The design docs were quite expansive, detailing certain mole creatures and snakes also affected by radiation. Anyway, 3D opens up all kinds of possibilities for developing further the fallout universe.

Great. It would be also cool if you'll inform the community about the tools/standards which should be used to create models/textures/animations and some place(maybe forum thread or something) to dump 'em. I'm looking forward to learn more modelling and contribute with my work.

Ah, you guys are doing awesome job! Keep it up!

I don't know how much it changed. All I can say is that you can still play the game with a very old system. Just the graphic card can become a problem and some shaders will not be visible for you. This can have an effect on the critter outlines, etc.

But I should admit that I like more the 2d graphics. Dunno, with 3d make remember Ultima Online. x)
For other side is good, coz will atract much more people.

Yes you are for that thing that game looking much more Ultima Online (and i hate that game)
but luckily weapons and other stuff are moderm.

Edit: Ultima Online mod :P

Post by: SmartCheetah on March 08, 2010, 05:57:13 pm
I bet that after this wipe you will get next one with update changing 2d PC's into 3d Pc's. Why? Because everyone must select their own appearance, aye? It will be easier to wipe instead of inserting system which will enable to change it. But how long it will take - depends only on Devs and people who will contribute to modelling/animating (On the other hand - they can use placeholders so I might be wrong.)
But If I'm not wrong - It will take "some" time. Modelling supermutants, ghouls, missing/new critters, dead/gore animations, missing armors and weapons (+optionally new ones) is a long task. Everything depends on modellers/animators and their free time. One model&texture for something "simple" will take aprox 1-3hours time so it might be even a few months to finish all the stuff which is REQUIRED. But as I mentioned before - everything depends on Rotators policy. Anyway - It's not hard to guess that more successful modellers/animators we have - much faster "beta" state will end.

Does 3D models mean, that we will be able to play different races in future?

It might happen if other races will be modelled ;) I'm sure that devs&Cvet will have no problems with implementing it. Furthermore - This option might be another feat for this precious engine.

As far as I know 2,5D means that characters/critters will be in 3d while enviroment will stay in 2d. Something like in Temple of Elemental Evil.
I have no idea how it will look with the engine. Maybe it will enable people to make even full 3d games:)

I was talking about the animation. And you?
I mean, if you have a crippled leg, your char will just walk and can't run. When he have both legs crippled then he gives one step by step. But thi is not an animation demostrating that you char is limping.

Had to add my comments  ;D

First, thanks a lot devs. You're doing a really good job, some of us forget it too often. This 3D thing is awesome, I can't wait for ! I want it now ! Muahaha !

Plus, I want to say few things. For those who don't like this idea, please think first that will be good for the servor stability, for the content which will be easy (well... easier) to add, and for the freshness of the game in general. I too am a bit sad of saying goodbye to the old-school-sprites-making-the-soul-of-the-game, but improving the game need this.
Second, read firsts posts and think a little bit before asking nonsense or useless questions like "do the NPC will be moved in 3D", "what the fuck is that cow", and so on...
And finally, stop whinig about the wipes. Wipes are Good ! I survived all wipes since August and I'm not dead. More seriously, they means few things : better stability for the server, lot of new features (and this time it's a big one !), new experience of gaming... Don't complain because your poor lvl12 character will be deleted, you will lose your sledge, your knife, and your tent with 2 armors and brahmin shit. And remember, and learn if you didn't know it, that WE ARE PLAYING A BETA. Wipes are necessary !

I've finish, thank you again you devs for making my dream a real thing, and thank you community for making this game a very cool place to live  ;)

I'm not sure about it but if the buildings were in 3d wouldn't be able to turn the camera to have differents points of view? And even make taller buildings I guess.
Not a huge benefit given the work it takes but it'd be something..

And again the Wasteland will fall into anarchy beacause of the all powerfull wipe. Bands of roaming PKs will kill everyone that they meet. People will stand around NCR doing nothing. A friend shall lose his friends hammer and the sons will not know where are the little thing which their fathers had put on the bedside table last night. No. Wait, this is already happening on a daily basis so... hurray for the wipe.

Yeah, some UV maps or models would be cool. It's the x. format, right?

Also, "3D" buildings are already in game, the frames art is mostly made of rendered objects and static frames don't need so much resources like in-game renders.

Keep in mind, FOnline is not Fallout 2. We use a completely different engine that just looks and feels like Fallout 1 / 2.

Like written in the newspost, the first wave of 3d models will be some animals, which come with the next wipe. With them, we will test how it runs for everybody and fix bugs, etc. After this and when human characters are ready (more weapon models and armors, etc.), they will be introduced. This is depending on how fast we can recreate the missing content.

You are wrong, sir. FOnline is independent engine, made from scratch. It only uses mechanics (SPECIAL/turn-based combat etc.) and graphics which were used in fallout 2. Everything else was made from absolutely-nothing.

You mean you wipe the server put some 3d animals into the game then you test for bugs.... and some weaks/month later wipe again to put 3d models for players and weapons ?

At the moment i dont want play because i know in 1-2 weeks i begin from 0 after wipe and if the wipe again for new things in a short time i dont play only to see some 3 d cows.... make all in 1 and hope it works.... but please dont wipe the server for every single shit 3d model :(

So far we wiped only two times... in 8 months. I wouldn't say that this is a bad value.

Also we don't have to wipe the server for every 3d model. From where comes this rumor?

A wipe is needed, if we add 3d models or not, it doesn't matter.

I don't know exactly what are the differences between client that is used on the server now, and the client which will be used after wipe, but I can say the client you're currently using is capable of 3D too. So if you run this one (i.e. it initializes, no errors on startup), there is high chance you will run it after wipe.

But like I said, the details are important, so it's not certain.

Man, how can you even run DotA with 8mb vcard... I think even mIRC should lag.
Waaaaaay off-topic, but I don't like people spreading misconceptions:
Quote from: Blizzard
- 400 MHz Pentium II or equivalent
- 128 MB of RAM
- 8 MB 3D video card (TNT, i810, Voodoo 3, Rage 128 equivalent or better) with DirectX® 8.1 support

Except for fancy Vista decorations, 8MB of video ram is enough for everyday computer usage when you don't play games. mIRC won't lag at all, and if it will, then that's because of shitty programming. Displaying text something computers could do just fine over 10 years ago.

Well in order to stay old school we would have to sacrifice game content aka guns, armors, skin models and many other stuff related to this (other playable races maybe) and thats simply too much to ask when you can go 2.5D and have all of this in no time (compared to time it takes to do such stuff in 2D). I'm also little disappointed that we are leaving our 2D chars behind especially when there were some discussions about technical solutions that could speed up development but remain 2D. But in the end I'm pretty exited how it will look and feel like with 3D chars (but I will miss my good old silver PA the most... that new one just don't feel right :/ ).

Which is exactly why you need to be bold sometimes and make choices.
You've made a lot up until now. And while not all of them might have been indeed correct, look at where we are now. The game is much better, much improved and much more fun. Where are all those conspiracists now? Oh i'll tell you, having so much fun with the game they forgot why they didn't want any previous update.

SO FOOKING GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT YOU MUST. THE NEW ANIMATIONS ARE GREAT, THE DETAIL BEING OFFERED IS OUTSTANDING AND THE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS MINIMAL. We'll be able to see our weapons, at last, we won't all look the same like bloody Asians and finally, FINALLY, we'll have fluid animations.
I just hope the silly running lag doesn't come again, but i doubt that's got anything to do with the models

The above post is made just so it's made clear that all developers should disregard all and every "LOL THIS IS UNHEARD OF FOR ANY MMO, GAME IS HARD? OLOLOL MAKE IT WOW" or "KEEP IT CLASSIC, UPDATE NOTHING, NOFUNALLOWED.JPG".

Okay, I am going to be serious. I hate the idea. I hated van buren tech and I hate this idea, I play 2238 for the old school feeling.
If you want classic Fallout, just go to TLA. There won't be 2,5D.

Discussions are always nice, but getting something finally done is much nicer. People like to talk, without much real outcome.

Well I mean if there were some expectations then VB 3D models were not amongst them. I think no one saw that coming. But I love community work and when I see weapon models growing in numbers every day then I must admit this could be something epic and unheard of in Fallout modding.

Nope, it kills my memories when I was 10 years old child, my brother brought that game from one of his friends, I can remember killing rats with fists and very low hand-to-hand skill, 'cause I didn't want to waste bullets... killing all raiders by starting fight in one room, where they can come one by one, then Fallout 2, when you wasting to much time to kill ALL (yeah need to get max. XP!) ants/scorpions/geckos with your fists, again, with very low unarmed skill. And then kill all slavers in Den with magnum (picked from trader's body in south of town), but before start eye-shoting with magum, you stealing Metzger's shotgun and one slaver's psycho. That was really nice time...

You need to realize that Devs are trying to evolve the game. IMO it is a good move I would like to personalize my character's look. It will be nice to see differences beetwen others players. Not just the same bluesuit chars - it's borring.

FO it's not a F1 or F2. Nobody changes your game from childhood, so if You want to - You can always turn them on and memorize.

Remember that after weapons we need to make:
-models + animations for missing critters
-special death animations and missing one for PC's
-models/textures for armors/helmets
-Particle effects
(Explosions/flying rockets/plasma or something like that - provided that devs want to change it)

Even if we manage to finish weapons in 2-3 weeks(It is possible with so many helping people :D) - we need to wait for basic armor/player/player head model to start making clothes + critters based on it.

Making animations is only for specialists in this field. I don't know if we have any suitable people. Learning this stuff takes some time so I bet that 3d PC's will see the sunlight in aprox 4-6months ;) And it's very optimistic view!

yeah well thats assuming some of the models dont get redone and what not. looking at the 3d model progress some models are obviously way better in quality than other ones, granted im not knocking anyones skills because im not contributing but hopefully the bad ones (i think people can tell for themselves) get redone by someone who knows how to skin something and make it look like it isnt a holdover from golden eye on the 64.

With this wipe, we will only include the few animal 3d models we have. Nothing more. Player 3d models will be deactivated for this time. We said this in the news and in the third dev video.
It'll be on sunday or monday...
You'll use the same player skin as now.
You'll see only 3D mobs.
Later with a time players/critters/items will be changed into 3D.
Date when everything will be completed: Unknown.

(these questions are quite related, since if you wont be able to remake look of your character, how you will be able to add player 3d looks without wipe?, so im wondering if we wont have 2 wipes in short time)
It is possible. Anyway, here's your answer:

Still, having a topless option is good. Just think of the "RP" possibilities - "heathen, display thy breasts or begone!" in a crafter-meets-a-gang situation would be awesome ;D

On a more serious note - I think it's neither good nor bad. It just makes the "tribal" option a bit more "bare and basic".

Why'd they put a topless model in the first place anyway?

Maybe that was after they realised that VB was about to be canceled, and decided to flip one at The End and the american prudence by modeling some showdown titties.

Actually I guess some "casual" clothing will be default. Textures can be made to provide some customisation. Bluesuits should not be default by any means, mainly because we are not vault dwellers in 2238, it's just that it has all needed animations.

It has, because it's hard job to make 2D sprites based on already used in Fallout1/2 and make them crouch than make a bone based 3D animation with current models :P . Anyway it could add more strategy to the battlefield but it means total camping issues with snipers.

NO! bad boy! do NOT implement autoattack, seriously that would be the worst thing to implement. Hello campers never needing to watch screen ever again.

I don't hold any grudges against prone/crouch, but they need balancing like crouch = better aim but you are walking slow, enemies can get headshots/eyeshots on you easier. Prone = very good aim but you are slow as hell and vournable when standing up //crouching - proning = people can hit you easier, a small penalty for camping yourself but the one proning/crouching can maybe get -1 ap on guns.


BUT I know implementing shit like that would probably give the devs a BUNCH of new problems and it would take lost of time better spent on implementing the basic 3d stuff and then do bugproblems, why add more problems to the ones you already got.
Title: Re: Jumping into the 3d era
Post by: SmartCheetah on March 20, 2010, 07:20:20 pm
If you've ever played tactics multiplayer you'd know it works just fine. Considering lag can be anywhere form a 2-5 second delay between the two players it's not like "clicking first" is really a good system.

I must agree on this one. F:Tactics in multiplayer is really fun and it's more unique experience than normal fonline combat. The only flaw of tactics combat system was probably lack of balance in weapons/armor.
I'm sure it is possible to implement these changes into Cvet's work.

BUT... I can't see it happening on 2238. Why? Because we don't have floor levels like in tactics. We don't have crouch/prone mechanics, autoshoot, objects which gives protection only for crouched etc. I bet that it would take about half year more to implement all of these things (Can you imagine it with fallout1&2 enviroment? I can't)
Maybe some people will create another "tactics related" project based on server application after its release.

Don't worry lass. They will replicate you in a while, so you can make some changes to your D.N.A (Or SPECIAL :P)
You should also keep in mind that world will change a bit after that wipeout. Mutated critters will become more mutated than ever before and rad-toads will swarm capital wasteland, comin' from banks of Mississippi river. Isn't that vision of another apocalypse lovely?
I knew you would like it.
Now get into your quarters and wait for another genocide. Remember to fasten your seatbelt! Have a nice ride, honey.

It's time to push the red button. I love the smell of nuclear devastation in the morning.

End of transmission.

So now just wait guys and gals. And stop asking "when", please - for sake of rest of my sanity. Real World will not blow into pieces if you will start few hours after wipe ;)

Second thing - It's kinda funny. I would say that a lot of great work is done when it comes to 3d models just cause some of guys don't play the game right now ;)

No wipe today. Maybe tomorrow. We are fighting with the last bugs right now, which are too important to not fix them before the wipe.

Im really happy about answer like this, not like all time answers in irc: soon. ;)

Continue this good work :)

I can wait too, but then developers or gm dont need to say that wipe will be today or tomorrow if they really now need work on that server will run fine after. They just can say wipe will not be in next days or week and then all dont make so big mess and dont ask every minute or hour when will be wipe. ;)

Anyway we all know that some small bugs still will be after wipe, it happens always, but we all just can hope server will run fine after this update :)

You guys need to stop fucking whining like little girls. Why don't you go shoot some guns or do some apocalypse training in real life instead of sitting in front of your computer staring at these forums hoping the game will be wiped. The devs can take their sweet little time,they are the ones in charge here not you disrespectful unappreciative little pricks. Are you forgetting they are doing this game for free?

Ok, I'll agree with You, but can't they just make an official statement? If they need one more week so they should write that down, but not saying in a round "today evening" and then "no wipe today". I really respect what are they doing for Us, but it's really annoying too. Giving a hope and then taking it back. Don't You think...hmmm...little prick? :)

And two: I think we, as players, have the right to bitch and moan. If it weren't for us, they wouldn't even HAVE a Fallout mmo going. What's an online game without a player base?

We could use the engine for a singleplayer game!

Oh, shush. Stop judging people, for one. You're obviously sitting in front of a computer, staring at these forums... except, you're here just to criticize. So in the end, you look more like a prick than anyone else...

And two: I think we, as players, have the right to bitch and moan. If it weren't for us, they wouldn't even HAVE a Fallout mmo going. What's an online game without a player base?


Yeah. Cause it works that way.

Alexander Fleming and others that helped him should praise all the sick people for beeing sick. And all those whose lives were saved by invention of penicillin should probably whine and bitch about this... Cause it didn't cure the cancer as well.

" they wouldn't even HAVE a Fallout mmo going" - Yeah, smartie. They at least would have the game. What would you do with all that people without FOnline?

" I think we, as players, have the right to bitch and moan." - Everyone has a right to bitch and moan - beeing a deuche is mostly a problem of the deuche himself and not the people around, so yeah.

"except, you're here just to criticize. " + " I think we, as players, have the right to bitch and moan."... So he cant criticize you for whining (in this case = criticizing) about the game that doesnt belong to you and for which you didnt pay at all. And why? Cause criticizing is bad... Well... Makes perfect sense...

Kids - grow up. You got used to have it all, parents spoiled you so you don't really see how the things are  - we know the drill... But REALLY... Enough...

Well. The wipe itself needs like 10 minutes. But we don't want to annoy the server with a buggy update.

And what about fast relog? It's kinda bug too, and it'll make me gather ore/minerals at xN speed faster, that's not good! Of couse I'll use it, because why do I need to wait 6 minutes, when I can fast-relog for other alt who standing near rocks, and then gather again and again.

Tell me why is the reason to play example for me if I start 2 weeks before wipe announcment and I don't have a 21lvl char in case to have some fun? Why I need to play, gather material, crafting stuff and doing pve, if I know that everything I do it's going to disappear. It's waste of time.

It depends on what you expect from the game. I don't play the game to reach the level cap, or to stockpile thousands of items in my tent. I just like to roam around, meet other players etc. You could still enjoy the game, even when a wipe is coming.

I feel like all we can do to help, as a userbase,  is contribute to the psychological well-being of the developers, so they manage to finish their tasks without any problems, while still feeling good about the whole project and themselves.

So my contribution to motivate them is a picture of some Russian soldiers practicing some arcane sport that was probably never meant to be seen by outsiders. I honestly don't have the slightest hint of what they're doing.

Anyways - the changelog (preview) looks great. Grats!

The Vindicator one made me laugh.

Also, people should leave mysterious notes in abandoned places or places that are hard to get to. Creepy notes.

Like this one that I shrunk to save space:

May 9, 1988

Played poker tonight with Scott and Alias from Security, and Steve from Research. Steve was the big winner, but I think he was cheating. That scumbag.

May 10, 1998

One of the higher-ups assigned me to take care of a new creature. It looks like a skinned gorilla to me. I was instructed to feed it live animals.

When I threw in a pig, the creature seemed to play with it – tearing off the pig’s legs and pulling out the guts before it actually started eating.

May 11, 1998

At around 5 A.M., Scott woke me up. Scared the shit out of me, too. He was wearing a protective suit. He handed me another one and told me to put it on. Said there’d been an accident in the basement lab. I just knew something like this would happen. Those bastards in Research never sleep, not even on holidays, so it was only a matter of time before one of them slipped up.

May 12, 1998

I’ve been wearing this damn space suit since yesterday. My skin’s getting grimy and feels itchy all over. The goddamn dogs have been looking at me funny, so I decided not to feed them today. Screw ‘em.

May 13, 1998

Went to the Infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put a big bandage on it and told me I didn’t need to wear the suit anymore. All I wanna do is sleep.

May 14, 1998

Found a big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up dragging my foot all the way to the dogs’ pen. They were quiet all day, which is weird. Then I realized some of them had escaped. Maybe this is their way of getting back at me for not feeding them the last three days. If anybody finds out, I’ll have my head handed to me.

May 16, 1998

A rumour is going around that a researcher who tried to escape the estate last night was shot. My entire body feels hot and itchy and I’m sweating all the time now. I scratched the swelling on my arm and a piece of rotten flesh just dropped off. What the hell’s happening to me?

May 19, 1998

Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food.

May 21, 1998

Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.

4 / /

Itchy. Tasty.

These notes should be:

1. One person picks it up, it is gone. They shouldn't be able to be stored because that would probably just cause lag? Screenshot it if you want to keep it. They can read it once and that is it.
2. They shouldn't be that cheap so that there isn't a lot of spam.

I’ve been wearing this damn space suit since yesterday. My skin’s getting grimy and feels itchy all over. The goddamn dogs have been looking at me funny, so I decided not to feed them today. Screw ‘em.

May 13, 1998

Went to the Infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put a big bandage on it and told me I didn’t need to wear the suit anymore. All I wanna do is sleep.

May 14, 1998

Found a big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up dragging my foot all the way to the dogs’ pen. They were quiet all day, which is weird. Then I realized some of them had escaped. Maybe this is their way of getting back at me for not feeding them the last three days. If anybody finds out, I’ll have my head handed to me.

May 16, 1998

A rumour is going around that a researcher who tried to escape the estate last night was shot. My entire body feels hot and itchy and I’m sweating all the time now. I scratched the swelling on my arm and a piece of rotten flesh just dropped off. What the hell’s happening to me?

May 19, 1998

Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food.

May 21, 1998

Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.

4 / /

Itchy. Tasty.


Is that you, Jill? Where is Wesker? ;D

Anyway, I love this idea. It's going to make the gameworld feel so much more alive. If only there were mines included too... it could really put some meaning behind the words!

Hell, the possibility of making your own holodisks is the shit. It opens up a whole new level for RP and player given quest, like someone gives you a holo and tels you to bring it to VC for a reward. Nice job.

These notes should be:

1. One person picks it up, it is gone. They shouldn't be able to be stored because that would probably just cause lag? Screenshot it if you want to keep it. They can read it once and that is it.
2. They shouldn't be that cheap so that there isn't a lot of spam.

Emperor's teeth, man, it's bloody TEXT. You can store all the messages the players are gonna type in 10 years in a couple of Megabytes of disc-space, serverside.

I like this idea too. They are like PDAs in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. Might be some easter eggs in hidden places too, like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC there was a dead guy and when you picked up his PDA it said he is Gordon Freeman (main role in Half-Life).

You know that you are doing something right as a developer when you have so many people desperatly crying for a wipe to play a 12 year old game :)
with that said, wiiiipe pleqaaase! half joking  ;D Im kinda new here and recently found out about fonline I just wanted to say its so awesome!
By the way, I thought about one thing, wouldt it be cool if you could have an option to sign those holodecks in a way, like hash or tripcode, just incase you wanted it signed. Eitherway, holodecks seemslike a cool RP feature, looking forward to all the updates!

its not a 12 year old game, fallout is a 12 year old game. I don't know exactly how old fonline is but they are two seperate ganes since they don't even share the same game engine ;)

50 bullets for the same amount of mats is ridiculous, the new quests look like they were written by a child on his first day of english class, its way too hard to craft the laser pistol/ammo, the new quests only help people who can kill things or are super vague. Pretty much the crafting system is even worse than before, FA getting nerfed helps no one. Honestly the only upside is the new creeps, I had a lot of hope for this update and it has gone down the toilet.
Title: Re: Jumping into the 3d era
Post by: Karpov on March 25, 2010, 11:09:18 pm
Excuse me Roachor, but I think the crafting system is meant to be like that because now you will need to spend your time better, split work, and such so you don't just start the game and in 4 hours have a gun and bullets and shoot everyone you see. Is that what you want in this game? I think it is not going to happen.

Next time, we will write them in russian language, if that suits you better. :)

its way too hard to craft the laser pistol/ammo,
And you don't think it could be, because... uh... eh... it's a laser pistol?

Quote

I doub't that. At least 3 quests (let's add the job too, then it's 4) can be done without any combat. One can be done without hard combat, if you are smart and the rest is exactly for PvE and a bit harder. /Edit: I just checked my files. At least 11 of the new ones can be done without combat.

Quote
FA getting nerfed helps no one.
It helps to make stimpaks and healing powder more useful. You could try it, instead of using FA. Or wait... did you xp farmed with FA before? There have been many people doing that, before the wipe.
