How about you autoscream some insult on the person you're attacking so you know you picked the right target?  Like literally you right click close to James Johnson and you get a speech bubble with "<randomized insult> JAMES JOHNSON".  Just a silly idea.

Well like I said early, you could also just have the server pick the closest target to the click.

Well, lack of FoV to determine if you're being walled in is a big issue.  This is the same with swords:  you look at all the swords killing spree youtube videos and it's always some guy with awbz killing a bunch of people without awbz, thinking they're clever or something.  It's less imbalanced gameplay and more just overt cheating really.

Well, if you mean just making new objects and stuff you can learn the editor; however, c++ is basically required to do anything that changes the rules since the engine is written in C++.

There's other easier engines you could start with, but honestly multiplayer in general is a pain in the butt to do from scratch, so you'd be better off learning C++ and using his own engine.  Unity or game maker are good learning tools if you just want to make a single game as practice to see what you're getting yourself into.

Is the current best thread for setting up an environment to mod the game (ignore the offsets and version number parts, at least until you're ready to actually add fully new objects).  To use the editor just go into the gamesource folder and run ./EditOneLife.  It's pretty confusing and you'll have to ask questions on the discord.  Just the process, anyone who's modded the game's been there xD

But yeah, as this is a custom engine be prepared to spend like 10 hours scratching your head before getting any real work done, since there's very little in the area of online help xD

I love the idea, but I gotta admit I can't tell the difference between the pies -__-  Needs much starker color differences IMO

I think you're only noticing it just because OHOL has a bigger volume of players.  If you've got 3x the players, you've got 3x the dumb insults hurled your way.  Which is probably why in large games the devs don't really even interact with the players at all and just have some commmunity managers who don't influence the game design handle the trash talk.  Crazies don't get quite so crazy when they know they're basically "talking to the hand"

That said, in other even bigger games like factorio or rimworld, where the developers do interact directly, they don't generate nearly as much flak (I've yet to see any at all in the factorio forums actually), it's quite sedate.  Plenty of autism there Dodge, so not likely a relation

There's three things I think: 

1)  You basically have no forum moderation.  The vitriol you get from players is also the vitriol other players are sending to each other.

2)  The game is multiplayer-only (for most non-technical people):  players are stuck with the decisions you make, and can't just go back to a previous build if they don't like it.  For this reason multiplayer games in general get a lot of flak for just about anything.  People suddenly noticing this trend of gamer's getting hysterical is probably just cause more games are multiplayer these days:  I can assure you multiplayer game forums have always been cancer.

3) You really are changing this game to be something it wasn't advertised to be.

It's a big world, just make a town far out.  We've got at least one other town with an airport, a few towns along the main roads, and a few concealed ones.  I'm not trying to defend the decision, just explaining here.

It can still be used to escape a bad camp if you want simply because /die has no price tag.  Accidentally miss a decent town because you /died too fast?  Just do it again.  Less useful if you're playing all night due to lineage ban, though.

That said, the sheer volume of /dies needed to get to Eve means most /dies are people trying to eve, even if most people /dieing are probably not trying to Eve.

Honestly bragging about a lineage length is just asking someone to kill it off haha.

On the githup request a while back by the WASD mod creator, this was Jason's response, yes.

I'm sure someday it'll get looked at again when an optimized way of doing is developed.

If you want to set up your own server with code changes, this one is great:

Just skip the versino numbers and offsets, that's only if you're also making your own client I think.

If you're not doing code changes, that link also works, just stop after downloading the vm and running the server part (which is basically just following the first link).

If you're running a server on linode, it's slightly more complicated, but not much.

Sprites-wise, you'd have to ask someone else, but from what I hear it's just a drop in replacement, anyone can do it with a little knowledge of what to place where.

Only thing I noticed is that

dye-ready top hat, bowler hat, and shorts have different sprites,
but
dye-ready shirt,skirt,etc are all just a crumple.  Which might be intended, just pointing it out.

Also, top hat, and we have glass, but no monocle? XD
