NOTE: its not quite tool for fonline but something useful
Hello lads, i want present you a Xfire with modificated .ini file in order to coperate with fonline.
What Xfire provide:
1. Voice chat
2. Normal Chat
3. Web Browser
4. Support php engines and Web-Based IRC Clients
Bigger Description:
With Xfire you can run any web page without closing game or skiping from window to window, you just use a shortcut and web browser pop up in game, it do not execute new application, even if you play in full skreen it doesn't matter, its also good alternative for mumble or teamspeak, all those actions now can be performed without minimalizing game or runing additional web browser or irc client.
How to instal it:
1. We download xfire from official page http://media.xfire.com/xfire/client/xfsite/xfire_installer.exe
2. We create a new account (actually idk if its really required)
3. Go into X:\Program Files\Xfire\xfire_games.ini and find line 4639 (from Fallout 2 )
Next on the after line of 4639_2 add sth like this
[4639_3]
LongName=FOnline
ShortName=fonline
InGameRenderer=D3D9
InGameFlags=USE_PRESENT|ENABLE_MOUSE|USE_DINPUT_MOUSE|USE_SWAPCHAIN
LauncherEXE=FOnline.exe
Launch=%UA_LAUNCHER_EXE_PATH% %UA_LAUNCHER_EXTRA_ARGS% %UA_LAUNCHER_NETWORK_ARGS%
4. Restart Xfire
5.

Chose Fallout 2 from this list (invisible on skreen because i already seted this up)(if you have installed fallout 2 it will be at begining of list), set Manual Detection and set path to fonline.exe then apply and save settings
6. (http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/1147/opcje.jpg)
set short cuts for example like i have
7. Disable ALL options in Broadcast tab
Great thanks for great help with it for jan0s1k

And what's more I don't need a mumble/ts to voice communication.

nope because it's just xFire overlay ;] I wrote it (this lines for xfire_games.ini) because I just want do sth creative, Saumax make this guide more "humane" and I thanks him for it (even he has troubles when I talk to him how to do this ^^)
If anyone want to do it on Vista or Windows 7 "xfire_games.ini" is in "C:\Program Data\Xfire"

Is is possible to change name from Fallout 2 to FOnline?
-

if you do this what Saumax wrote, you will get name FOnline, but for others it will be still Fallout 2 becouse it's not possible to add new game to xfire ;p
EDIT: I made guide what looks humanize ^^ (my first looks terrible ;p) so it's alternative for Saumax guide

Hehe, I edited the INI myself. Funny to find this thread :D Gj. Btw add me on xfire MasacruForGroove

Really, i still would use Steam, because
A: You can voice chat and as his screenshot shows, it wont add anything over it.
B: Simplely use Shfit+Tab to enter the Overlay, upon which u can IM, Voice Chat (Key Press or Continued), User the Web Browser, and when a new message has been receieved, it simplely, pop's a little square up with apart of the message and who from :)
C: Its by Vavle the company who keeps up sending you updates to waste away on downloads :D
Edit: D: (smile face makes it look like im upset xD) It has a ''In Non-Steam Game'' when you add new Games into the list of your games :)
-
It's a nice tool, but steam offers this aswell.

Steam is so memory eater and you must have a pretty nice CPU and graphic card for it -.- and also not only screenshots you can take, but you can record videos too, when you got message it pop up just like on Steam, you can go into overlay by ScrollLock+X as I remember, and has a lot of additional functions (for example web browsing, voice chat, chat in groups, etc...) And one more think, do you have in your Steam overlay nicks who speak in voice chat group? I think that not, but you have it in Xfire just like on normal voice communicators (for example Mumble, Teamspeak 3 - of course when you download additional overlay for Teamspeak ;p)

Always see who is retard.. but i don't blame you.
I'm paranoid about computers and i always need to get fastest computer (way or another)
And that's why i leave everything that eat computers RAM or other recourses off to play games with better quality.
So why to download/install trash to you computer, if you can get same thing with lower PC specs?

Exactly, you know, rich kids are always whining if someone criticizes their memory eater... The fact is that I can run xfire, FOnline and Mumble and it works just fine, but when I launch Steam, I can't run other any games (except hl.exe enigine mods onto 800x600/1024x768) because for example in FOnline I had 1 fps when I try it with Steam...

I have used both, Steam and Xfire. First I was using Xfire, but I changed to Steam, because of the very good store and automatic updates for games. Both apps are fine though.
For me, Steam takes about 12MB of memory on idle. When doing something with it, it takes 40 - 50MB. To do some comparing, Mumble takes 20 - 30MB of memory when joined to a channel and idling and only 31MB when doing something with it. Xfire seems to take 8 - 9MB on idle. When doing something with it, 10 - 12MB.
You can't really talk about a memory eater, but it is true that Xfire requires less memory. :)

I don't remember if it was memory, processor or graphic monster, but it takes almost every resources (when I launch it computer is sooooo sloooow and I see something like a 1 fps per 3 seconds ;p), why valve change old good Steam into new graphic shit :'(

Dude, when did u last look at steam? i've been using this rig since like 07 and it still doesn't get lag from Steam....yea it takes up a bit, but in the end 50Mbs for awesome games, a newer ''Win 7''ish look is worth it...
And another thing about xfire, i cant stand the looks of it while playing a newer game, sooooooo old look, i'd say its more ''Win ME'' looks then anything >.<

I'm using (now rarely, but still...) Steam from 2008 holidays and I have to say that it never crashed, lagged or something before their "big design update", now I have slow, super duper ultra design shit... Xfire never changed in look and I hope that never changes

hold up, your ganna trust a lame ass program to check ur stats when u can simplely right click my computer or explorer and have it auto bring up? also, does xfire work on mac? no i bet not, anyways, u can stop now, or i bring many troll from 4chan here :P
(also, 50 USD is like...err....50 AUD.....AUD = not exactly much, so yea, if ur laptop is worth 50 USD then, bleh it must b a re-make of the first laptop ever xD)

Lol... Have you seen first laptop? I think that not, yes I trust this program and this web app wrote so good since beggining, and what I can see in proporties of Windows? that I have processor with incorrect GHz ? and RAM wrong wrote? And also, when I done it (statistics) I don't have to look at proporties and hardware manager and rewrite this all shit here, because program done it for me and it's just copy-paste... And also, I don't have so much money (50 USD is hmm big money for me - student - yes I don't have word for it ;p) so this laptop looks for me as pretty good..
EDIT: for Mac Xfire works too, but without overlay because there is a pidgin plugin for it - Gfire...
Have you in your Steam statistics how long you play in FOnline? :)
-
50 USD for that laptop isn't really that much, but when comparing to somewhat average PC nowdays... puh. :)
Yeah, there is system information available in Steam too. Cool thing is that you can compare you system to others.
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/
There isn't way to see how long you have played FOnline, because it only makes a shortcut to the .exe file and it is a non-steam game. Actually you don't see how long you have played FOnline in Xfire either, but the tutorial shows how make Xfire recognize FOnline as Fallout 2. Basically you can mess up the statistics by playing Fallout 2. It would be nice to have this in Steam too.

let's just don't transform this tread to a Steam vs. xFire forum(p.s., X-fire is better)

Haha u mad cuz Steam is tryin to get it customers to buy more games, which i think is fine, cuz there games are awesome, im yet to get 1 i dont like.

Xfire is a great , lightweight program, as opposed to the hulking , invasive , resource hog that is Steam.
Bought Halflife when it came out, thought the game itself, and Valve were awesome.. I continued thinking this until I bought Sin:episodes -Emergence. When I attempted to install the game, and found out that it was required of me to be connected to the internet, as well as install some extra application just to do anything, I returned the game to the store. In my eyes, Steam is to gaming as Itunes is to music (Absolute trash)

I don't think it is really that "heavy" program. I haven't got any problems with even older PCs.
Yeah, it is bad that you are forced to use a program that you don't want to use. That's probably the only thing I dont like in Steam, but for me it is no problem, since I use it normally everyday. One of the really cool things in Steam is that you don't have to have any CDs for your games. You can download the games from the Steam's servers (yeah, bad thing when slow internet speed. But I think you don't buy "digital games" when you have slow internet speed). No need to keep CD-keys in safe places etc. You can optionally make a back up of a game and burn it to a CD so you don't have to download it later.

it isnt a lightweight (peice of junk ...) because its got useuable features, and it's built to be used on Gaming Rigs, not 50$ USD Laptops....it's newest builds are for the newest OS (including Mac OSX 10.5).
it also saves you the trouble of running through pages on the internet just to find the download, and streams straight to you :)
also with the downloads, you cam choose were to get it from :D

It's working, great job!

i just noticed you edit this....
and as i have said, steam is built for gaming rigs, not something u pick up in the 2nd hand store that was built for minor office work x.x
God even my school laptop, which is horrible, is always using 60% memory etc etc, 70+ processes on launch, could run steam without a problem x.x

In the new version of Xfire, the ini file is in the C:\ProgramData\Xfire folder.
That's a hidden folder, so type it in the adressbar.

Rather in Windows Vista/7/8 it is and it was from beginning. In Windows XP it stays as it was.
