Not really a big deal, but I'm just curious. Kilgore or DocAN, how far along in development is the new laser weaponry?

Okay, how the hell do I communicate with other players in game?

is there a way to share a private mine location?

[triqua]

some needs to tag you and you lead him to the mine location. when he one time entered your mine location he will see it as long you dont buy a new one

Does it work with tents? Are there other ways? I want to share a location with my twinks, but I don't like the idea of using sandbox.

[cthulchu]

OK, I used a sandbox. And brought my new miner to a tent. I can't create a map of the tent since I had deleted the owner. However, now I want to transfer all the goods to a safehouse. But I have a plenty of items there, so can I somehow mark the place on the map of the new miner?


And what does a "game session" mean?

[triqua]

just get a slave or a brahmin.. load all on to them (they dont have carry weight limit and can carry infinite things). if you dont have a map of the tent location you cannot mark the location permanently to another character..

game session: this session started last year and when some big changes have to be made that influence current server setting very much or it is just time to start all over again a so called wipe will take place. new changes are going to be implemented many things change and all chars are being delted and we start from zero. this session will last at least 2 more months. so a good way for you to get experience and be faster when the wipe occurs to get your char on the way

Hi all,

I would like to ask, why on my old-PC I cannot hear any of game sounds? My friend open his game in FonlineGL and have sounds, but he cannot run normal Fonline.exe.
For me, FonlineGL is closing after start, and normal Fonline.exe is like muted.

Another question is as old, as my account...wtf?
This is Cendipede?

[triqua]

did you run updater.exe to latest files?
and take care you have latest video drivers and directx and such

[Mad Matt]

Updater.exe was used even twice 
Drivers and directx is updated to lastest versions too

[cthulchu]

how many slaves is it smart to put in one private mine and does the place where I put them matter?

[Barneys]

4 and yes

[Mad Matt]

So, anyone has more ideas how to run sound in my game or stop seeing Flameboy?

3D troubleshooting for Linux by Mona

Something for the Linux section, troubleshooting.
I use Gentoo. Somehow FonlineGL is extremely slow and gives bad picture so I play via Wine. It's just perfect but when I encounter 3D critters, the game crashes every time. I have all the drivers installed.
To solve this:

 1. Make sure you have 3D acceleration:

glxinfo  |grep render
direct rendering: Yes
    GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on i915 (chipset: 945GM)

2. Have DirectX installed:

winetricks d3dx9_36

Make sure you have this version, others most likely will not work.

Connection problems?

1) Test your network connection with Speedtest:
http://www.speedtest.net/

2) Check that server is online:



3) Reboot your modem and/or router, and try connect to server.

4) Make sure that your firewall is not blocking the client!
