Game Help / Character Planner Season 4

« on: February 01, 2022, 01:21:22 pm »

Hi, wastelanders

Here's a character planner I've been developing for some time:
https://fonline-reloaded-s4-geck.onrender.com

IMPORTANT: There is newer version being developed on a different domain -
https://geck.onrender.com
It provides Character Library (save/load builds) as well as a way to generate a link for any saved character build.
Please, be aware that this feature is still in development and it may contain bugs and errors.
Once this version is polished enough it will become the main planner and this post will be updated.

Open spoiler to see some images

Overview
  FO:R Character Planner is a simple web application which allows you to plan your Fonline Reloaded character build. It's a static app and it can be used offline.

Features

• Supports all basic character modifiers (SPECIAL, Skills, Perks, etc.) as well as Implants, Books, Drugs, Boosts, Professions
• Armor and Helmet slots – equip gear to see how it affects the stats
• Simple Load functionality (see the spoiler for more info on how it works)
  
  Spoiler: show

  Each new build is auto-saved at level 0 (creation screen), level 1 and level 24 and it can be loaded at that point. Moreover, this feature keeps track of the last three level-ups, so you can load (revert) up to three levels back.
  Click on the gear icon in Actions panel.
  
  Choose which save to load.
  
  For now, this feature is disabled on character creation screen.
  
  
  

Upcoming

• full Save/Load library for managing and storing multiple builds
• improved responsiveness and layout for mobile devices
• filling out all missing descriptions in the Info Panel
• continuous bug fixes and support

How to use
  Online - You can use the tool online – just open the link above.

  Offline - You can also use it offline - just install the planner and use it like a native app. Works both on desktop and mobile. Here's how to do this:

• Install on Chrome and Edge:
  Once you visit the site in your browser you will see an icon in the address bar which will allow you to install the application. Just click it and it will do all the work.
  Chrome:
  
  Edge:
  
  
• Install on Firefox:
  Firefox has recently discontinued the support of PWA's (Progressive Web App – the technology which allows the app to be installed). Fortunately, it is still possible to use it as such – you
  just need to install a PWA browser extension manually (it's installation consists of few simple steps). Just follow the instructions here – https://techdows.com/2021/09/install-pwas-firefox-desktop.html.
  This is what you should see if the extension is working fine:
  - Firefox
  Alternatively, if you're on Windows you could use Edge to install it.
  
• Install on Safari:
  Not tested yet. It should work out of the box. Any feedback from Apple users would be appreciated.
  

Notes

• The planner is still in development and may contain surely has some bugs or incorrect information. Keep in mind that almost all of the data used to base the logic and calculations on is sourced from the wiki. Any outdated info there might be present in the planner as well.
• If you're using the installed version, make sure you refresh it from time to time in order to detect any new content. There's an update functionality built-in in the Info Panel - the app should detect new content and prompt you to update it. Please, keep in mind that this feature is not always reliable - it can behave differently depending on the browser environment. If updates fail to appear - restart the app (close it and open it again) and/or do a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5 on Win)

Huge thanks to Henry, Medics, POWERPUFF and all other nice people who helped me a lot along the way!

So, that's it. I hope you enjoy the planner.
Once again, I would really appreciate any feedback/suggestions/bug reports/etc. you might have. Please, post in this thread, PM me or find me on Reloaded Discord - Arronax#9276
Thanks.

Game Help / New Player Guide for Season 3

« on: November 04, 2020, 08:49:54 am »

Greetings, fellow wastelanders!
Almost an year ago I made a 2h30m long video tutorial on how to get started on Reloaded. Although I shared it on the discord channel back then I delayed posting it here cause I found a couple of mistakes I wanted to fix, and I also wanted to include some additional information (as some fellow players noted it would be helpful). Unfortunately, life happened and I couldn't find the time to do so in the following months, so, being so long overdue, I finally decided to post it here.



Here's also the Crafting Calculator which is included in the tutorial (see attachment). It's made in Open Office, and it's basically a formulated spreadsheet which allows you to compute the amounts of materials you need to craft stuff. It could have some inaccuracies, as well as a couple of missing items. Please, if you find any - post a reply here and I will try to add/fix the issue. Thanks!

I hope all this will be helpful to new players as well as to some more experienced ones.
Please, feel free to reply with any questions, remarks, notes and suggestions you might have!
