Tell us what you'd like to see in the mod ;) You may want to create your own topic to dicuss a specific feature in a larger scale, too :D

There should be radio thats what completes the game like radio that everyone can hear at the same time! :D

Maybe a "ping" command in game, I don't mean literal ping, rather you hit a button in game and it'll stick a big marker over the head of other players or arrows that point in their derection for a few seconds. They'll probably be on the map eventually, but it makes them easier to find if they're in the area somewhere but you just can't spot them.

At the moment the game's got default.fos, which I assume is a regular save game renamed so players start off at that point and with that loadout etc. I guess you'll be making .fos files for people who join the server as well, but perhaps at some point you could let people pick one of their saves and have that uploaded to the server. So they can have their current level, skills, weapons etc.. then re download it, or just save it back to their computer (and possibly the server) when they quit.

And of course, the thing I mentioned on youtube about starting the player off like the Wanderers edition mod, although if that mod's on everyone's computers perhaps I could just make a save in that creation room for the player start.. We'll see, next time I'm in fallout I could record the Wanderer's Edition and drop a link in here.

----

I'll put this stuff down now too, though it's probably months, if not longer, from even needing to be considered.
Mostly I've been thinking about how VATS might be able to work in multiplayer.

Maybe only have the server host be able to do it, if you're playing with only one other person they're probably going to be very near by anyway and using skype or something so synchronizing attacks should be easy enough. but if more people are playing, maybe give them the option on their pipboy to split off into groups. by, for example picking a color, red, blue etc.. And then if someone in red team uses vats, everyone in red team uses vats. Any else nearby is just stuck walking in slow motion..

What about enemies though, I think perhaps enemies engaging anyone using vats would have to freeze, any enemies engaging different teams would just go in slow motion too. enemies not engaging anyone would also be frozen. But if any frozen npc is attacked by someone not using vats, they'll immediately unfreeze and start attacking that person.

Maybe put a range on vats, if that's even possible, I don't know, so if two groups are far away, and one group uses vats, it only uses vats in the area loaded around them? so the other group can carry on without being halted.

It should be possible to sync the radio stations the players are listening to. When you get nearby another player, you can hear the radio station he currently listens to, for example 8)

They'll probably be on the map eventually, but it makes them easier to find if they're in the area somewhere but you just can't spot them.


I planned such a feature for the time when I work on the GUI. At the moment I focus on syncing and fixing bugs, but there will definitely be something like that in the future :D



At the moment the game's got default.fos, which I assume is a regular save game renamed so players start off at that point and with that loadout etc. I guess you'll be making .fos files for people who join the server as well, but perhaps at some point you could let people pick one of their saves and have that uploaded to the server. So they can have their current level, skills, weapons etc.. then re download it, or just save it back to their computer (and possibly the server) when they quit.


default.fos will probably be the only savegame provided by vaultmp. The server may distribute other savegame files (and mods) to their players, and players may also upload their own savegame if the server allows them to. Actually I think it's good if the server takes control over the game. default.fos is the minimalist savegame - every player starts with a fully emptied inventory (without PipBoy, too) and low stats. As a server owner you may now decide to write a script which, for example, gives a PipBoy, a 9mm pistol and some ammo to a new player. The server may also require the player to download a custom savegame before joining. All the major Fallout script functions like AddItem, EquipItem, SetPos (just to name a few) will be made available via the PAWN scripting engine, and some new ones too ;)

The problem with VATS obviously is that it freezes the game client. If some player wants to use VATS, the only possible way to achieve that is to freeze all the other players games too, at least until the action takes place. You're right, I can't deal with that the next time as other tasks have higher priority, but I really like the idea with grouping players. I'll keep that in mind :)

I have an idea for the Multiplayer! Maybe there should be jobs to get money for another idea I have, I think there should be jobs like like Lumberjacks(Cut down trees with a saw like in RTS), Scrap Collectors(pick up trash and then hold a certain button to collect it), Hitmen(Hired by other players to kill other players), Farmers(Grows vegetables, farms animals) ,Body Guards(Protects other players), Hunters(Which would kill creatures and retrieve their meat) and much more. With the money you earn from the jobs you should be able to purchase a location (Like metro stations, megaton, rivet city etc.) each costing more depending on the size and popularity and the contents and then build a kind of settlement thing like the mod Real Time Settler(RTS) Look on youtube or fallout3 nexus if you have never heard of it.

I've loaded up a video for the start of the Wanderers Edition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTdk47f8LNU
Not safe for work due to colorful language of raiders and me.

Another suggestion would perhaps be in game text chat, which you could probably tie to groups as well. Maybe emotes too, hit a button and your character does an animation or shouts something.. though that might result in spamming. (not that jericho doesn't constantly shout the same lines over and over anyway)

Perhaps add a group of huts somewhere for players to make their home instead of tenpenny towers/megaton. like a little town for players.

And maybe you can script it so you get jobs like I said in my previous post to get money to buy these houses?

Most of the features you mentioned will be scriptable. The mod will only provide Multiplayer functionality, leaving the actual configuration of gameplay to the server owner ;) Emotes and group chats are nice ideas, especially group chats are going to be there. I'm not sure about emotes, but if it's technically possible, it will get added in time :)

It would be great if the other player could be recognized as a companion, sort of, so that u can trade equipment with each other or even maybe do a private chat.

PipBoy
06-22-2011, 06:30 AM
Yea like he said kinda like an allies or enemy list like lets say me and my friend are in skype im like oh lemme add u to my allies and the we get to trade armor and stuff.and pm.

Also that idea sounds amazing (of the radio)

how would the sleeping work in the game or the waiting cause
when u do that it just refills your health and speeds the weather up.
disabling it would be good :)

Is voice chat gonna be included.

oh and Recycler if you need any art work or anything with picture's tell me im a master in photoshop like im not lying just tell me.

ty!

06-22-2011, 06:56 AM
Yeah, about the bed feature.
Since in Singleplayer ''Fallout'' you can sleep to get to the morning or night. Would not that be a problem for players on the server?
And i hope u make NPC's respawn after their death, if not i can just go kill a good npc and only i can have that weapon.

But good work so far!

Sleeping and waiting will be disabled ;) Weather and time is going to be synced by the server. Having the option to team up and group with other players, including the functionalities of private trading, chatting and co-op gaming will be one of the core features of the mod, supported by a graphical user interface :D

The network library the mod is running with does support voice chats, it shouldn't be a big deal to implement such a feature ;) Thank you for offering your PS skills, could come very handy when the mod gets near to the release date. The current logo (small-sized placed in the client) is OK, but somewhat boring. Artwork is always great, too. ;D

two nice easy ones.

When you load up Vaultmp, it'd be nice if the master server field already had vaultmp.com in there already..

An option to just connect straight to a server by entering an ip rather than checking a master server first would be nice too.

I think that you should disable ALL NPCS on the game, and make it so we can add them manually, or make an option for that.
I think I crash when I stay in radiation too long, not sure about that.
Also, you should add functions like SetPlayerRadiation / GetPlayerRadiation, SetPlayerControllable / GetPlayerControllable, GetPlayerCash (chips are used in this game for currency), SetPlayerCash (gives them chips etc).
These features are important for user systems, and yeah lol.
Make it so all doors are unlocked, and if we want to lock them, probably add like a command to lock a certain door.
Why is the pipboy disabled lol, how am I meant to equip stuff?
You should also make servers use ONE single masterlist, I'd hate to switch masterlists always :P

This is overall a great modification, I love it. At the moment, I'm using SA-MP's IDE for programming in PAWNO.

Scripting:



native format(output[], len, const format[], {Float,_}:...);

This is a must.. I mean to create things that show variables in strings would be awesome!

to be used:


#define COLOR_WHITE 0xFFFFFFFF
new string[128];
format(string, sizeof(string), "Player (%d) has %d Cash!", clientid, pCash[clientid]);
SendClientMessage(clientid, COLOR_WHITE, string);
#undef COLOR_WHITE


Would be very useful :D

I'm going to LMAO at you when you have over 1000 errors... The whole script wouldn't recongize anything from the Includes since they're not SAMP includes....

Fallout without npcs - isn't Fallout. even Fonline has npcs



I think I crash when I stay in radiation too long, not sure about that.
Disable Windows Live - it causes huge CRUSHES



Also, you should add functions like SetPlayerRadiation / GetPlayerRadiation, SetPlayerControllable / GetPlayerControllable, GetPlayerCash (chips are used in this game for currency), SetPlayerCash (gives them chips etc).

This will be like cheats



Make it so all doors are unlocked, and if we want to lock them, probably add like a command to lock a certain door.

We don't need all door's unlocked - if u need it - build ur LOCKpeack skills - as it will be possible. Same fallout online like "2238" or "The Life After" have Locked doors, gates and terminals. if u dont like it - u can unlock them on ur own server



Why is the pipboy disabled lol, how am I meant to equip stuff?

This is only Alpha Stage version of a VAULTMP - so keep ur patience. Pip boy will be added as soon as other problems will be solved. And don't say "u have to" or " u must add this" or " add that" - Admins know better what should they do - u can just make ur suggestions in this topic

Well professor, not everyone wants to make a questing server, they might just want the area left alone with no npcs..

Already have..

This will be like cheats
How will it be like cheats when the functions will be used over pawno scripting, anticheat system can be developed.

Again, this should be an optional feature, so we can develop housing systems.. And also, most terminals just have disengage lock, not engage lock.

This is only Alpha Stage version of a VAULTMP - so keep ur patience. Pip boy will be added as soon as other problems will be solved. And don't say "u have to" or " u must add this" or " add that" - Admins know better what should they do - u can just make ur suggestions in this topic

There's already the same thing, it's just named "strformat" ;) As there will be a chat, it's likely you have an equivalent to SendClientMessage too.

Disabling NPCs will be an option ;) Same with doors, they will be controllable via script. You can run a server which has gameplay very similar to the Singleplayer, but you may also throw everything out and script your own game :) That's the direction I have for vaultmp right now. Scripting functions like those you mentioned will be added over time, there are already some like GetPlayerHealth implemented :D

Most things can be possible, if something like text drawing were possible..
Creates text on the screen and is visible for players and all players, it'd be great if sometime this were handed in.

and if you mind when you have the spare time to create a wikipedia for this site, explaining functions. I'd love to participate in showing usages for these 'functions' for the server :D

If you said that you were making a register system, I was looking forward to creating a INI include for the community soon, I don't know, I mean its your multiplayer mod, you can do what ever you want but it'd be more better to get players to have them encouraged to script features them selves. Yea, register systems could be created with commands: /register [parameter: password], login [Parameter: password]..

OnPlayerCommandText would be awesome when the chat system is complete for the MP, servers without commands are kinda boring... I would love to see this soon =D

Thats awesome how this multiplayer is becoming a huge success, keep up the good work, very good work infact ;)

My thought behind the missing PipBoy is that the server owner shall decide whether the player can start with a PipBoy or not. You will be able to give a player the PipBoy via a script function like AddItem(clientID, itemID) very soon. In case you want everybody to have a PipBoy from the beginning, you would just call that function in the callback OnPlayerJoin. More detailed explanation on this is on the way ;)

(or just use your own savegame temporarily)

Should be pretty easy to implement cell sync (interiors and stuff). VaultMP may require FOSE in the next release, as I can't find any in-build script function to determine the player's cell. And I'm not keen on working out a memory hack to do that thing. I tried FOSE and it will be pretty useful to VaultMP I suppose ;)

Ooh, if it uses Fose, being able to use Wanderers Edition will be even easier.

I didn't forget, it's coming with the next update ;) I wasn't sure where to place another input field or button to join a server directly, that's why it isn't in the most recent revision. I will now make it so if you didn't select a server in the browser and press Join Server, you will be prompted to enter an IP address. Also there is going to be a servers.txt file where you can put a IP list, which will then get loaded automatically :)

I plan to release updates on a weekly basis, so the next revision will be available on Saturday / Sunday. I think I'll have to postpone the inventory system to the after next update due to the fact that synchronization has to be fixed first (game cells) and that I have to implement FOSE for that. Behind the scenes I'm also optimizing the vaultmp.dll code (machine code) which is quite important for the game's performance ;)

foxtacles
06-28-2011, 09:09 PM
You should be able to see each other, you have to both start in the same game cell though (weapons and fighting animations not synced yet). For example, just use the default.fos and tell your friend not to move to far away from the Vault101 entrance so you can meet there. You can't customize your character, as syncing for items and character stats is not yet implemented. May take 2 more weeks at max.

:D

General Alexander

every person who i asked - see each other but our characters blinking and "teleporting". we checked that we can see each other not only when start at 101 entrance. - and u dont need to rejoin the server - when i entered megaton my friend was outside - then he left the server, joined again(i was still there) and came to megaton near the robot - then i left the town and saw him outside without rejoin the server.

Hm, if you don't mind just try to join the testserver with the default.fos which comes with vaultmp. I'm waiting there ;)

There's still this animation bug, if you encounter that your partner is moving faster then you the sync is likely to fail because he's always ahead of his real position when moving too fast ???

Ping is fine. I remember synchronization has been better in the past. Going to work out whats wrong with that now.

EDIT: Just made some improvements on player packet structuring, relevant data (running animation, position) should now arrive much faster, going to test tomorrow :)

If we get lucky another member of the Brickster.net team will join as a developer, chat might then be available very soon ;) Else it may take some more weeks, depends on how long it takes to implement the inventory system / weapon synchronization.

Hi, i'm new there :D

i suggest to implement the script functions, to make some example gamemodes for pawn newbies (loke me :P)
and also to make a GUI for the future versions! :)

This is more of a question than a suggestion but if quests do become avaliable and we do the "Power of ATOM" quest and blow up Megaton will that effect everyone in the game or will this option be simply disabled?

Just asking as it would be pretty awesome to blow up megaton in multiplayer >.>

I'll be willing to help if i can understand it xD but just a quick question... what about the people that dont have the DLC'S will they just not get certain weapons or will it be implimented in such a way?

Also will the items be sort of scripted to where the user simply "gets" the items on loading as i've been messing with the savefile to give me armor and weapons via the console, which i know can be implemented into a script.


Is that the type of method your are thinking about?

foxtacles
07-05-2011, 09:00 PM
The server is telling which mods have to be installed (DLCs count as mods) and the player who wants to play on that server needs those mods. If the server owner doesn't define any mods, the player will need a clean Fallout install (or at least, vaultmp will automatically disable any mods) to play on the server. This is to ensure that all players on a server are able to obtain the same items etc.

Items can be given / equipped / removed via script (PAWN). The player will be able to take and use items in the game as well, though - as long as the server allows it ;) Furthermore the server can force you to use a specified "default" savegame which can be automatically downloaded via vaultmp from the server. Or you may be allowed to use your own, or "save" your savegame to the server so you can re-download it next time. It will be up to the server config how the game works.

The scripting and "mod" idea seems great! but the implementation of a default save would prevent leveling up and perks wouldn't it?

{".22LR round (Standard)", "0007ea27"},
{".22LR round (Hollow Point)", "0013e439"},

You could also format without types:

{".22LR round", "0007ea27"},
{".22LR round", "0013e439"},

The only important thing is that all baseIDs are known to the mod / the server :D The print name is needed for in-game GUI display (chat i.e.) and debug purposes only.

Will definitely integrate exceptions (https://www.codeproject.com/KB/exception/JException.aspx) ; stack and call traces are badly needed for debugging. Not sure if I'll support others than the most recent game versions. One problem is the mod requires FOSE / NVSE which also only supports the most recent version of the game. And actually I don't like the idea of players having different game versions :P

Stan: awesome. Going to integrate your lists tomorrow :D

Hmm, What about making a Role Play server and script? has anyone here ever played San Andreas Multiplayer? And also, how are mods gonna work?

If you played samp, then you know that RP or TDM or whatever mode is run by the server admin, trough the gamemode script.
So the mod doesnt make it rp, it merely makes it MP. you,. script it to be RP, or you dont. Standard it's just Multiplayer fallout, no rp, no tdm. just DM actually.

So ye, you CAN make rp, but ask that for gamemodes, not the mod itself.
Anyway, untill the mod is finished, this is kind of a useless discution anyway

It will stay 0.1 alpha for some more time. A lot of things aren't even implemented at all ;) I'm currently re-designing the command system (again), the network packets and scripting system. The mod has to prove much more flexible when it comes to tasks like "add item X, count Y to the inventories of player Z1, Z2 and Z3". When I've got the background work done, development of the game features will hopefully boost :D

Fallout Online :D Great idea ;D
My suggestions are:
- Co-op missions and quests like in WoW (not sure if it is possible, if not I won't mind 'cause FOnline will be awesome anyway :D )
- Mod support? Could be that possible, maybe in a later version? I would love it so much :D
- Using Pip-Boy of course won't stop the world anymore
- If a player is in my "team", I can see him on the Pip-Boy map
- Possibility to create a local server, so I can easily play with friends, maybe even in LAN (this will make mod compatibility easier, because if I play with friends I can ensure we all use the same mods)
- Worlds should be "resetted" in order to restore every weapon/NPC/creature, so it should be nice to have a menu were I can save my characters (just like every MMORPG) and choose which one to use every time I enter the game

Furthermore I've announced a vaultmp wiki the last weeks; I know it's still not there, but I hope to get it up this weekend.

News on vaultmp: work on the new and more efficient command system is almost finished. I will release an update tomorrow, though there is only a single game update included with this update: dieing / reloading savegame is somewhat functioning now ;D When dealing with this topic, I also thought it would be cool if gore (dismembered limbs) is going to get synced as well.

Hello, I think this will be my first post, but never mind that. Never mind that tho. Id like to make a suggestion, not for the game but to improve our community's ability to help develop and use ctmp. I think the best way to do that in the moment is by developing the mod (of course) and giving the community a way to communicate amongst each other/spread the hype/grow, which is actively pursued at the moment. But I must criticize the functionality and order of the forum, because I often find myself confused where I am able to post. I suggest trying to set up additional sub-forums similar to low budget developing games programmed by a small set of people (e.g. terraria forums: https://www.terrariaonline.com/forum/)
if a similar system would be implemented in the future we can be sure of a happy ctmp-community.

In the future:
Vaultmp will have lots and lots of servers, we could add a favorite servers tab, a recently played, a server filter before searching for example:
Fallout 3 : Yes/No
Fallout NV Yes/No

Also servers should get a X players limit, rather than unlimited. And the V key(VATS) should be unbound to enter VATS mode.
A new HUD ingame so that theres a chat box(not an entirely new HUD) and if we don't use VATS we don't use AP.

ArathHunter
08-08-2011, 02:05 AM

There are mods like the sprinting mod that uses AP, adding VATS back in well... maybe if you removed the stop time and slow motion that VATS gives, then maybe. but unless thats possible (and I have no idea if it is, sounds like it isent the way I read it), I don't think adding it back in wouldent ruin it for the rest of the other people trying to play

Project Nevada uses AP for sprint, you can see how it works. I think there shouldn't be VATS but AP should be implemented.

Anyway, is it possible to implement VoIP in vaultmp, example Pipboy radio will be used for it. You can choose channel and talk with players without use other communicators, like TS or Mumble. What do you think?

entering vats automatically pauses the game, if we can prevent it from pausing, well, lots of work to do(Im not the programmer here)

foxtacles

I suppose it's pretty much impossible to enable VATS without pausing the game. I may re-implement VATS, but this would require to freeze everybodys game when a player enters VATS mode. The server can define a rule like that every player is allowed to use VATS once every 30 minutes or so ;)

Dantiko
08-08-2011, 10:25 PM
No... simple no, hmm... can we remake parts of the wasteland on instances, if a player is in an instance using vats, we simply wouldn't see him, or his enemies, and also use T key for teamchat when we form team with other players.

CouncilOfDave
08-09-2011, 02:00 AM
Hey, everyone, first post. I found this forum a few days ago and have been reading through it, and I gotta tell ya - I'm pretty excited about this. I'm utterly amazed at what you're doing. That being said... I have no skills that would be useful, as my scripting ability is limited to basic GECK scripting, etc. You guys are on a whole other level than me. I have been playing Fallout for quite a while though, and hope that I can help with testing, suggestions, etc. I think I have a pretty good idea how this is going to work, please correct me if I don't grasp it as well as I think. As each server would be set up differently, I understand that not all of these would apply equally, and I'm looking forward to the fact that if we don't like the way any of the servers have the game set up, we can make one ourselves. That's just fantastic. I will try to focus on basic game mechanics, though.

I really don't see how it's feasible to have any vanilla game functions that stop time or quickly advance time such as VATS, sleeping, pause, etc. When using a pip boy for inventory purposes the pause wouldn't work for that reason, as well as while bartering, or any other item or player inventory menu, etc. While this could work in theory, it would seriously suck in practice for other players affected by those pauses.

As far as main quests, or other quests, as a general rule I have no idea how those would work. The most obvious example is Power Of The Atom, etc. If one player blows up Megaton, it would obviously affect everyone else on the server. Same with the player home if you take the other direction, really only one person would be able to live there, etc. Some other examples would be quests such as Stealing Independence, where you have a single, specific item that needs to be removed from it's location and brought to another. The only person that would be able to do it on the server would be the first person that completes it.

Some suggestions that might work would be that certain areas are single player only areas, such as Megaton. When you enter Megaton, you are now in a single player only world. This way you can do the Power Of The Atom quest (though only disarming it) and gain a living space in the normal player home. Outside the gates is MP, inside is SP. It could work, I suppose. I have no idea how difficult it would be, or if it's even possible.

On the flip side of that coin, each person could do the disarm quest for XP and caps, like normal. But once you disarm it, you cannot do the quest again with that PC. The next guy through the gate could still talk to Lucas Simms, and disarm the same bomb you just did, and collect a reward... but not the player home.

For each of those you would have to remove some of the NPC dialog, and the options for blowing it up, etc. Remove Burke from Megaton, empty his house, etc. Whatever. I would also think that certain NPC's that know you or your father personally, such as Moriarty or Dr. Li, should have dialog options removed that specifically ID you as James' son/daughter. Have all of them treat you as a normal person in dialog. To do this a lot of the main quest would have to be disabled, and certain areas opened up that are only accessible through the main quest. Afterall, you're just another wastelander right?

Stealing Independence could be done similarly, where the entire game world inside the National Archives respawns when a player gets the quest from Abraham Washington. After that player finishes the quest, and removes the Declaration, the world stays at it is. Robots dead, containers looted, etc. To respawn it, a different player must get the quest from Washington, and the National Archives world respawns then. Sydney would have to stay there, though. Instead of her being a follower or leaving the NA to hang at Rivet City, she could just chill out there. Again, just spit balling.

As far as in-game chat, I gotta say that I prefer the way it's done in 2238. Hitting the enter key opens up the text box, you type, and hit enter to send it. If the text box is empty, hitting enter closes it. It gets very, very easy to use pretty quickly. The Enter key is useless in the vanilla game during play, anyway. I also like how the option to see the different players names floating above their head is implemented. Makes it easy to spot your friends or enemies when they enter. I would suggest that as long as they are in your Perception range, you can see their name tagged above their head. If you want to tag them as friends or enemies, I like that function, but have no preference for how it's done, if done at all.

A few people mentioned radios, and I gotta say, I love using radio's. They make it incredibly easy to keep in contact with your friends, do multi-player missions where you aren't near each other, etc. I don't like the idea of seeing your friends on your pip-boy map at all times. I would think that if they want to be found, they can tell you where they are over the radio. If they are out in the waste in a random cell, they can send a distress signal that puts a red waypoint on your compass, etc. Anyone who has played 2238 should know what I mean, as it's one of the most useful features of that game.

Player death is always a fun topic. In the vanilla game when you die, you respawn pretty quickly. And you respawn with all your gear at your last save point. Obviously, I assume that save points are not possible in this mod. How long does the players body lay on the ground after death? Is the player able to be looted? When the player respawns will they have their gear on them still? Do they only have what gear was not looted? I would personally prefer that each player is dead for the duration of say a minute, and in that time they can be looted - of anything and everything. Weapons, caps, armor, ammo, etc. If everyone is nice and leaves you with all your inventory, you respawn with it. If people are cruel and leave you with nothing, you respawn with nothing. If they take it all, and leave a single round of 10mm and a crappy pistol on you, well that's what you get on respawn.

I like the idea of starting the game via FWE, in an abandoned shack. Perhaps this could be a player home, perhaps the shack drops you in a random spot in the wastes when you exit, forever unable to return to the shack. Don't know, don't care really. As long as I can get into the MP world, I'll be happy. But I do like it, and I've always played with FWE for that reason. If the shack was used as a player home, then random shacks would appear on the map every time someone made a character. As far as how to handle player homes, if any, I have no idea. Maybe a series of abandoned hotels with available rooms from an NPC, rentable by the game week/day/whatever. If the number of PC on a server is limited, you might be able to match that number to the number of available rooms. Some could be at Tenpenny, some at Megaton, some at Rivet City, Big Town, etc. Maybe build a few new locations, small towns, whatever. So if there are 50 players limited to a server, then possibly 50 rooms/shacks/etc available total. You could get a key when you rent the room, that is not able to be looted (or maybe it should be?), and the key is removed from inventory if you don't pay your rent. heh

Anyway, that's just the stuff I remember thinking while reading this thread. I'll keep reading, and hopefully install the available alpha version soon and give it a shot, so I can give a more informed opinion...

IMO, there wouldn't be VATS in mp because freezing of everybody is quiet annoying. Example I'm going to city X and I meet someone which is fighting with NPC and he use VATS. I will freeze and must wait for end combat/VATS but I don't want to fight. There should be only real time fight or special gametypes for VATS (turn based) fights or options for enabled/disabled VATS.

Dantiko
08-09-2011, 09:02 PM
the player won't be able to use VATS in cities, the player will only be able to use VATS if there aren't any players near or the players that are near are on his party, when a player enter VATS the game pauses for him and his party, if another player comes and find a player/party using VATS he wouldn't see them.
Or simply don't enable VATS, I prefer using AP for running like on Nevada mod.
Also, CouncilOfDave the idea of a single house sucks because if a gang of pks camp outside it when you leave with all your money on your way to buy something, you would be transformed into GOO

I never suggested the idea of a single house. I suggested the idea of many houses, available at the location of your choosing (availability dependent, of course)... or making Megaton single-player only when you enter/exit the gates. Again, I don't know the best way to do all of this, they were just random ideas.

As far as PK's camping at your house, nothing will stop that, no matter where each player lives. They can also camp at the entrance/exit to any town, any trader, or any main travel route. How do I know? I'm a PK. I'll be the guy poppin' players in the grape with a round of .308 for fun and loot, and I won't have to wait outside their place to do it, either. At least if Megaton is a single-player only world when you enter, you can fast travel from your porch and not have to exit the gates. (Although I dislike the idea of fast travel in a MP game, without significant limitations on it.)

Even having guarded towns/merchants really only does so much. Then all you need is two people - one to kill the player, the other to loot him without drawing fire from guard NPC's.

I consider this all to be "The Wasteland", and pretty much expected of any Fallout MMO. And even if it's not me, it will be someone else.

But like i said, just throwing out suggestions.

It seems to me that, VATS doesn't fit to play multiplayer especially with the open world. Would be a little strange to travel the wilderness and not see someone who fights with raiders before us. After the fight that suddenly appeared, because VATS has passed. I think a good solution would be to completely remove the VATS system and improve the elements of FPS and action points.

You understand that VATS is a good option for single player, but is not suitable for multiplayer. Anyway, if someone really wanted to fight that only in VATS I suggest you do the 2 battle modes: real-time combat and VATS (turn based) combat for disabled/enabled by admin/owner server.

We can use bullet time for 3-5 sec in combat if you example have perk or something. Bullet time will be something like VATS but it doesn't stop everybody.

Genocyber
08-10-2011, 02:53 PM
I think alotta these suggestions will be dependant on mods. Recycler is giving us the framework for the multiplayer, after that it should be reletively easy for us modders to create the things you guys have suggested bar implimentation of vats.

For example in the mod my teams working on, you can build bases to produce your troops and earn an income, but you can also rent/buy an apartment/house in one of the megacitys to store your personal items. Each house has its own key, which cant be lockpicked, furthermore, there will be immensely powerful armed guards outside these apartments/houses to rape any potentional pkers.

Since in Singleplayer ''Fallout'' you can sleep to get to the morning or night. Would not that be a problem for players on the server?
And i hope u make NPC's respawn after their death, if not i can just go kill a good npc and only i can have that weapon.

But good work so far!


/Jeppe


It would actually work Instead of Disabling it you could simply Make it as if your sleeping and the rest of the world is still going on, As if it does not speed up time change the weather or any of that, It would simply be a way of healing Or un-crippling Limbs, Same for vats it could work as if your not frozen and the world still goes on As if you were not in vats, Just my idea on how it would work,



And as for my suggestion I dont know if this has been suggested or not i did not read all the other players comments, I would like to see a voice chat

Oooh ok, still it's not easy if you don't understand it. But the script don't have to be that hard what you make from it, the game already works with normal kind of music files (MP3) there is a way to let wmv files not sure if it's possible with mp3 to open the file to start a live stream. I am not sure if it's possible to change the format files to WMVs ingame.

nah, 100% guns would be not cool, characters aint professional killers, let it start as usually, 1 lvl with about 15-30 guns skill. so that no one would get gauss rifle and go hunting on a deathclaw... the more "progress to do" the more fun to play with a friend... lets say you play with a good friend in coop, he has guns skill 30, you have 60... you decide to duel him or something...

oh yea, about duels or races, i just got an idea... implement "challenges", a somekind of side quest which is always repeatable... or maybe arena fights... where you can fight with your friend against few (or maybe hordes) of chosen monsters... like in The Thorn place. or play Caravan game with a player... stuff like that. but all those ideas could be saved for later, when VaultMP would get out of testing period.

Most of those things can/will be controlled by the server's script. Up to the server owner to decide how that works.

You are talking about gamemodes. Scripters will be able to do whathever gamemode, including yours. I'll do a roleplay.

Just ask some rp ideas with us before start scripting, make a list and go implementing everything, also, basic rp includes a job, a salary and for sure a place to live, also someone's gotta fix it when vendors run out of items.

Can you direct me to a place where I can donate? I'm sorry if it's already there somewhere and I missed it, but I don't think you can complain considering I want to donate. Multiplayer Fallout has gone far but I want to see this go all the way. :D

I'm honored that you would like to donate to the project; donations were possible for a short period of time but I took that option down again some days ago.

This is mainly for the reason that I'm already at my limits of time I can spend on vaultmp. I have several jobs, earning enough money for everything I need. That just means that no donation will make the project progress faster (except if you want to pay me a half-time or full-time job). What we need are developers who can help with the coding.

Anyway, I'm really thankful that you would like to donate, but I just can't accept your money. I can't give release dates, nor any promises or estimates when features will be done. Maybe I'll open up donations once 0.1a has been fully released ;)

edit: I like your avatar

some scripting functions

CallLocalFunction
CallFunction
both with parameters name[], format[], {Float,_}:... to call either dynamic local script publics or all publics defined in every running script. and maybe a function to check if the public exists (local or global). should work without MakePublic on main()

creating player related functions like AddPlayerItem which are fetching the containerID by a given playerid. so every player gets an id while connecting (between 0 and MAX_PLAYERS, first free playerid is taken) -> easier for scripting (for example looping players, saving player related variables is much easier [because offsets from GetList are changing if players are leaving])

I would like to know if there is a possibility to add "proximity voice chat" to the game in the future.
It consists in the person being able to hear other person nearby speaking through the microphone, and the volume that it's heard depends on the distance the other person is.
Is it possible in the future?

I though Rob said he was maybe going to do it, Ofcourse this is a feature somewhere on the last of the list.

I see it being a very valuable asset to the game, but from my past experience with application development I can see how complicated it can be to implement it into VaultMP. It is doable surely, but it's going to be pretty hard to implement.

We use raknet for the networking, and it already has a plugin for voice on mic, it's only not a priority, we need to implement a lot of things before.

I'm not sure about whether VaultMP is going to feature server side inventory or we have to add it in but, a function to get the items from a player's inventory would be nice for an anticheat.
A utility or class to also grab the height value of a coordinate tile will make NPC AI considerably flawless because it's needed to walk around perfectly, this should probably be one of the priorities along with synchronization.

EDIT: I've also noticed that NPC sync hasn't really been finished either, death of NPCs are not functioning properly (deleted from the game, there should probably be a toggle function to leave a corpse / remains.) I've also noticed that this can be a complete mess due to having to recode things that Bethesda made from the beginning. VaultMP is a very complicated project and will have to unfortunately remake many things if it's going to be based via server side. Luckily for SA-MP there was nothing much that really needed to be recreated.

i really think it would be a great idea to put an option to vote which game (fallout 3. or fallout new vegas) should be focused on.(i think fallout new vegas with its reputation system and ability to aim down the iron sights would be great for multiplayer. and i loooove the fallout 3 map. but i got really tired of shooting a gay in the middle of the wasteland and having the whole world magically know lol. so if you could work on new vegas that would be awesome(however if you dont have the time/money/help needed to do so) i (and a lot of other people) would be very greatful if you could somehow import those features from new vegas over to fallout 3 (in a mod/on servers/as part of the vaultMP mod) either one would be amazing to play. with that one simple feature id be able to play countless hours with my friends without getting tired of it. and id extremely greatful if you would consider doing so

New Vegas support was removed quite a while ago. The decision(I think) is final.

I have an idea if you all want to implement a money system, you could have a script the spawns a vendortron who will open an inventory screen for the player(name) that spawned it, then open a shop screen for other players. (Of course the player who spawned could probably be stolen from if someone copies that name but just an idea as long as others are playing fair on the server.)

Also hi been modding for about 8 months and figured I'd try out VaultMP been tinkering with it for about a week and made a pvp map for it. :p

It already works with the repository version. GUI windows can be shared between multiple clients, so a vendor / shop screen can live update to all players who have it open etc.

For the money system its preaty easy to use Caps.... just make the server add or remove them when the player buys/sells items. And you just need to add a line where it checks the caps u have and the caps you need to buy an item. I use caps on my serveer that im working on...Nuka Cola forever ;)
