EDIT:
Disregard that. The san fran terminal was also not working, but for some reason, literally started working 2 minutes ago. Not sure what all that was but I can leave them if I want now.

Ok last question and I am just asking this because I want to be certain.
If you have a base (Don't have one yet, but may to do test before wipe), the only way people can find it is if you lead them there/they tag and follow you, or you add them to faction PC whilst using the computer as the leader of the faction, yes? I know you can't stumble upon another persons tent and I just want to make sure it's safe to use if I do make one so I can easily trade between my characters without using a tiny tent. the base I want to build has more stuff like a still for flamer fuel and all that.

Short version: the only way for someone to enter your player base is to add them to the list, invite them, lead them there of have them follow you, yes?

Client troubleshooting



Windows

Spoiler: show

Client crashes, loading screen stuck or errors during startup?

1) Make sure that your client is downloaded from here:
http://forum.fonline-reloaded.net/index.php?topic=1.0

2) Make sure you have installed DirectX and latest graphics driver for Windows.

DirectX -> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Nvidia -> http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
ATI/AMD -> http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
Intel -> https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx

3) Run Updater.exe to get latest files.

4) Delete all files from cache folder and fonline.log from main folder, then restart client.

5) Open FOnline.cfg with text editor and make sure that your client connect to right server:

RemoteHost= 91.121.18.168
RemotePort= 2238

OR

RemoteHost= play.fonline-reloaded.net
RemotePort= 2238

6) Use FOnlineGL.exe, if your client crash during encounters with 3D critters.

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!

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.

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

It's been a while since I played so my memory might be off.
Two slaves in the mine and it doesn't matter where you put them as once you start them working they'll move around on their own.

[Maxim Moskvin]

quick question about slaves as I've never made a slaver and am trying stuff out.
I've read through the info on the wiki, but something wasn't quite clear to me.
It says you can have two slaves plus others determined by party points, speech, perks etc.
Does that mean you can only CAPTURE two at a time, or you can only have two following you?
If I have two waiting at a tent, then go out to capture a third, would I be able to?
((Just using the "everyone can have two" as the basic here.))

[Kaaon]

hi guys thanks in advance for reading this... i seem to have a problem when trying to create a character, for some reason i cannot choose my 3rd tag skill... i can choose 2 tag skills but when i try to choose the 3rd one it wont highlight it... if anyone can help me out i will be very greatful as im very eager to play thanks again

are you sure that you are chosing skills and not traits ?

[Vanadiss]

Uh... A weird and risky question.
So I want to make a new character. My current one [Done just on the beginning of FO:R] is 65% failed. It wouldn't be hard, but
1. I'm currently collecting money and items for the new one [almost done]. I think I'll delete the current character, just to make the nick available. If I'll do so, will my tent [as well as my resources] simply disappear? Will the map [hidden somewhere in towns] lead me to the tent and everything will be fine?
2. When exactly do merchants receive caps?

[Kaaon]

The wiki description says "all critical modifiers" and mojuk didn't say anything about crit power, only crit chance.
I'm pretty sure it decreases also crit power, but I didn't check the code ofc, so you tell me.

well yes, this description confused me too
when i asked mojuk about it almost year ago and he answered "only chance: base_armor_crit_chance_mod / 2" exactly as note says (nothing about crit power) and i will rather believe to him then to descriptions

so vs combat helm its probably only 10 crit chance bonus

if its really true that it doesnt affects crit power then its description should be changed from "all modifiers" to "crit chance modifier" to avoid this confusion in future

burst is an unaimed attack

burst is counted as torso

I've decided to maybe try this again after the wipe, but one thing that put me off was that: When running, I would sometimes walk.
Is there a fix to this?

Don't hold shift when clicking

Thanks for trying to help, but that's not the issue.

[James]

I figured it out, when I click on the same hex twice I walk instead of run. If there is no fix for this, then I guess I could get used to it.

There's no fix available for something that doesn't require fixing.

Click once. Not twice. Problem solved.
Double clicking to walk is an intentional feature.

Ah, figured that guess I played too much on a certain other server. I'll probably stay here after the wipe though.

[merigold]

What is the formula for HP healed by first aid?

What, if any, checks are made for the extra effect 'knockdown' on critical hit roll 21-45 on eyes or head?
Crit Table: http://newfmc.pl/reloaded/new_fonline_reloaded_critical_table_men.html
('Tested Stat' cell is empty)

Are knockdown and knockout rolls vs critical hits multiplicative or additive with the Stonewall perk?

Is Fast Shot trait damage bonus reduced by DR?

What is the exact cooldown and regeneration rate of APs?

[Old Man Henderson]

Been gone for a LOOOOOOONG time. Are random stat bonuses still a thing on items that you craft? The wiki still states that's the case but I'm not sure.
