One Hour One Life Forums

I am sorry you both feel that this conversation is not worth having.  I disagree.  Often tough conversations lead to reflection, even if upsetting.  Speaking for the underdog is the path to civility, wherever that may be, even if so inconvenient as in a gaming community.

However, I respect your opinions and work on this forum so I will leave it at that.

Sorry, are you saying that you've never been hurt by someone's words?  Even if so, which would be extremely rare, are you saying that people who experience some emotions in some circumstances don't deserve to live?

Ok, do the second way.

0) Already downloaded the Unix source code and un-tarred it (I think "tar xzf <filename>")
1) Go to the OneLife/server/ folder and first run "./pullAndBuild".
2) Then read and do instructions from Onelife/documentaion/EditorAndServerBuildNotes.txt in the Server section.

Basically, all inside the server folder, you will run "./configure" (choosing linux), and then "make".  Then you will do some linking of the data files to the server folder and create dataVersionNumber.txt with the correct version number (currently 72, not 73 for whatever reason, but choosing the highest number form "git tag" should work).  Then you should be able to run the server with "OneLife/server/OneLifeServer" or "./OneLifeServer" from insider OneLife/server.

Babsy,

The link to Sammoh's www.dying.world forum page in your OP actually goes to Zinchess'.  You could link to the 2HOL discord page instead: https://discord.gg/atEgxm7.

Have you gone through any of the guides?  What OS are you installing on?  Are you using a virtual machine?  Start with the guide stickied on the main forums.

I investigated this for a day or so (didn't want my server affected).  You can look at all the changes since the apocalypse code got added on github to easily see all apocalypse code:

https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLife/ … c...master .

I guessed the first commit in the comparison by looking at the commit messages.  You can choose whatever commit you want to start the comparison from here: https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLife/commits/master.  You could also chose an early second commit to compare against to ignore changes unrelated to Apocalypse.  But this seems like a good comparison.

Here's what I gleaned:

The apocalypse code is mainly split into five files: server/server.cpp, server/map.cpp, gameSource/objectBank.cpp, reflector/server.php, and gameSource/LivingLifePage.cpp.  There's some other relevant ini files and minor effects.

gameSource/objectBank.cpp -- Defines which items should trigger the Apocalypse
server/map.cpp -- Actually checks if an object in the world satisfies the trigger definition
refelctor/server.cpp -- Checks if the apocalypse triggered should actually propagate to other servers (by comparing encrypted codes).  For application to the main servers, this seems to run on some special server Jason has so that his secret code doesn't have to be sent out (see below).
server/server.cpp -- checks online if an Apocalypse has occured and propagates to the current server, including killing the players.
gameSource/LivingLifePage.cpp -- Runs the Apocalypse animation/visuals on the client.

Importantly, there's the ini file server/settings/apocalypsePossible.ini .  Before the fix post Apocalypse 5, this didn't actually affect server/server.cpp, so all the connected servers would get hit if an apocalypse was triggered, which happened for Apoc 5.  Now that the fix is in place, you can just set the value inside to 0 and the main servers won't propagate an apocalypse to your server.

A private server should not be able to propagate apocalypses to the other servers because, by assumption, the private server doesn't have the correct reflectors/sharedSecret.php file.

This is all basically conjecture from looking at the code in the past few days so I could be wrong.  But I'd be surprised if that isn't the gist of it.

Edit:

Also, there's the server/reflectorURL.ini file.  If you just change the URL to something else in your server, it shouldn't ping the official reflector server for remote Apocalypses, being another measure to avoid Apocalypse waves from the mains.  You could apparently change this to some other reflector address to be connected to a different "multiverse" of Apocalypse-linked servers.

Yeah I think we're back to early March like meta.  Lots of death and re-spawning, waiting for competent Mom and community.  Exciting when it works though.

Yup.  Specifically for Apocalypse, at least.  Under OneLife/server/settings are the ini files for (you guessed it) server settings.  Change apocalypsePossible to 0 to disable apocalypses on your server.

But then, Apocalypses are currently turned off on the main servers.  I don't think it's possible for private servers to cause Apocalypse sweeps onto the main servers without knowing Jason's "secret code".

It looks like only 0, 1, I and O can't be input into the login key field.  Probably not supposed to be characters in anyones keys (due to similarity prolly).  Snooze, did your login key actually have one of these characters?  If so, then sounds like a bug report is in order.

Do you mean your access code or a password to access a server?

To input your access code (the 20 digit alphanumeric in 4 groups of 5, separated by dashes), I would copy the code at the OS level then use the paste feature in the OHOL main menu.  It should be able to take numbers this way.

Another indispensable tool:
https://kazetsukai.github.io/onetech/

I believe that website actually pulls all the crafting info from the current github commit, so you know it's correct and up to date.

But I like the format of the following similar tool a bit more:
https://colinmarc.com/ohol/

It's just not quite up to date.

Both tools by members of the forum (Sorry, I can't remember their usernames).

Edit:
They show item decay/change timings as well as crafting recipes.  Pretty sweet.

egrigby,

Did you update to version 73 (before apocalypse disable)?  I wonder if custom servers that were brought up to that version check in with some master server to see if there was an apocalypse.  Of course, the subreddit may be wrong in that custom servers do not actually reset with main servers' apocalypses.
