Fallout 2 multiplayer

[Himmler]

well i've been dying to find some mod or something like that. like most of us. and i found out about the russian project FOnline: 2238 which is exactly that. only it's a more harsh wasteland due to other players encounters(savages, i tell ye!)
you start off by shovelling brahmin shit and ...well, better find out for yourself. who wants to find out more or give it a go, check the forums :D

Why not play games where you replant the rainforest? :p Nihilist Russians. I dunno how you peeps can do without sleep, though. I recommend healthy walks and strong sleep drugs ^_^

[Himmler]

never take pills!you just have to be a strong character!:P
well this game really makes me feel in a wasteland. it's like i got too fat in the desert with fallout. one of the most cruel places. if you're in the wrong place, someone could kill you really fast for your loot. a bit frustrating but closer to the real deal if it were to happen

actually in fallout 2 you had to find a geck and "replant a rainforest"

[Tomekk]

Holy cow, I wanna play this!!! :D

And Fallout 3 is all about making a clean water supply for everyone.

Eco-mindedness and shooting people in the face, you can have it all! :)

[arete]

Awesome! LOL You never fail to cheer me up, Cthlulu. I looked at the simIsle manual today, but I didn't feel like playing. You can build game reserves, and breed Clouded Leopards and sell them to zoos around the world. And your forestry guy can show the local villagers how to replant and conserve the rainforest. But you can also drill for oil and start a car export business. Ugh. It's a bit old - no sign of electric motors or wind farms or wave-motion generators hidden under the sea. Anyway, autumn rain falling down, glad i sealed those window frames when i did :)

Wheres the download linkies? FUBB WANTS DOWNLOAD LINKIES!

Me and Sacc tried a different FO2 online mod thingy but it didn't work.....but this looks like it does!

EDIT: also, thank you Himmler. I love you.

[Himmler]

k k enter here http://fonline2238.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-fonline-2238-installer-released.html
and download it from their server or from moddb if you have an account. it's basically a standalone, but you also need f2 for music and data .dat files.
make your chars, enter the game, try to play and if we go big, we could start our own team ^_^
bad side: limited to level 21. it is devinitely worth a try though!

also, they're planning to go 3d like the van buren f3 should of come out....


edit: just got flamed by a flamethrower right before i crafted my first guns. take care... it's really hard.

[Himmler]

if you join, safest place to start is the ncr, but you might get killed anyhow.
wanted to post this :D

ROTFLMAO

Fallout - A post nuclear peasant's dung cleaning game.

[Himmler]

wait till you get to fight with the others for the dung LOL

[Fubb]

Himmler you were on right when i was! I was in boneyard when the inquisition attacked broken hills though.....Im doing pretty good, im now level 2, have almost $1000 and have a tent outside NCR, 2 hand guns (A mauser and a 10 mm) and a sledge hammer and a spear and some other stuff....life is good!

My only problem is the combat time outs >< half the time while i was running for my life i would end up combat timing out. Of all the times i've died, 90% are from that. The others ifi can remember are;

a desert rave (rave, not raid) party.

getting too close to NCR rangers in the field

getting killed by a player-gang outside of NCR (DONT GO IN THE YELLOW CIRCLE NORTH EAST OF NCR!!)

once cause BoS were fighting raiders and i spawned behind the riaders and got mowed down in their hail of gun fire too

And once from a guy named Luluc80. He's french ,and i want him DEAD. if you see him, say 'This is a message from Fubbles!' and cap his ass!

[Himmler]

hah. you did better than me. NCR is pretty harsh. got killed too many times...

[Fubb]

It appears the russian players are really un popular, specially in NCR, there were like 9 suicide bombings in a ROW , followed by a massive gun battle in the merchants tent where like 10 people were killed, followed by moer sparadic gun fights and bombings :S

So far my only beef is the lack of loot. I went to both Mariposa and the Sierra Army Depot and there was not one scrap of loot at all (course at Sierra there were 2 other players in it already, so maybe they grabbed everything? I wouldn't know cause they killed me the minute they saw me)

[Himmler]

well i know they're unpopular cause the one who flamed me last time was a russian. i think that started cause some guys were saying "gtfo russians, you suck" and stuff like that. i wanna get out of the ncr! but everything seems so far away! :P

btw ingame i am Draculea

[arete]

Siggy for you, Bimmler ^^

LOL

Ok, since the wipe, i've been tihnking, unliek most noobs. THIS is what i do.

SCREW shovling shit. I begged for a sledge hammer, mined, and took my stuff into town and traded it in for (not all at once, this was over and over again)

2 Leather Jackets (1 for back up!)
4 Sledges (Back up!)
2 Hatchets
1 10mm
10mm ammo
Shot gun
Shotgun ammo
and when im not doing that, i go into ruined cities, go world/town and pick up junk lying around to sell it later :3 only level 2 though.

THINGS I RECOMEND

Get outdoors man up!
Get Science Up!
Get Repair Up!

Scavange all you can!
Don't steal!
Only kill other players if their super weak & crippled!
On that note, don't go into places like Redding and say 'Heal plox' or anything along those lines.

I gotta say that I've been familiar with FOnline few months back. I enjoyed it briefly but found getting killed by groups of PK all the time just plain annoying. I could live with it though as I suppose that's how post nuclear wasteland would be but what I could not live with was people just not role playing at all. I mean the game has no more than few built in quests, so the really enjoy it there has to be some kind of RP involved. I mean there need to be some kind of quests one could do for another. I mean if I'm a gatherer and I mine there's gotta be someone willing to pay for the ore to craft something out of it and sell it further. I'm not sure if it's better now and hope that somebody will clear it up for me but back then it was just sad and boring. Everyone seemed to try to do one of three things, and I mean one of these three things only - steal from you, kill you or call you names whilst having a character names something in the ways of "big-di*k-mega-motherfu**er-killer". I mean what the hell? Fallout in online outing in my opinion could very well be the best game EVER as it involves my most favorite atributes - it's RPG, it's post nuclear & it's turn based. Instead I got a game where people called be a d*ck all the time & stole from me after which I usually got killed by city guards after trying to protect my belongings...

Is it any better now? Is it worth giving it another go?

[navarro]

Ahoye, ppl.
'v'been playin this for about a month now, I'm somewhere at the 17th lvl with my 4 th character (i've given up the first 3 - veery poorly created) and lvl 3 with the 3d.
Word of adivce for newcomers, when you go mining or gathering, go with just what you really need on you (IE: hammer if you go mining) and leave guns, armor, items at the tent. When you do go to an unguarded place such as redding, gekco mine, water morks, mariposa, move fast but make sure there aren't any PKs lurking around (actually, their forum seems to be a good source of info - I hope those begginer guides will be good. Had I started playing this earlier I would have probably entered the contest).

[yoni0505]

Also don't shovel shit, it's very slow way to earn caps. it's better to loot encounters, like NCR Army VS Super Mutants (one square below Military Camp).
If you find one and manage to come back to your tent alive, you will come back with an inventory full of flamethrowers, laser rifles, FN-NALs, M60, Radios, Rocket launchers, and ammo for these guns.
Can be a bit time consuming if you are unlucky to find encounter quickly, but it worth it.

Here's another tip:
If you want to sell something to NPCs and they are out of caps, trade it for ammo instead. Most NPCs trade ammo for fixed base price so you can trade it later for caps.
