One Hour One Life Forums

Did you mean Ree Tarr people? Also, lets keep it civil here. He might actually be a skilled player, right?

Official Jasons statement from 24/04/2018 - some parts are redacted.

Also, game is both open source and public domain. You can do whatever you want with it. Just look how mobile version was created by 3rd party. They took OHOL code (and take it on regular basis for updates), repacked for mobile and sell it for cheaper price (while hosting their own servers).

But because its open source its not a problem to just compile your own client with any bot-protection or captcha removed. Thats basically what Zoomed Out FOV Mod is that I'm providing for people. Its oryginal source code with some restrictions modified and compiled.

Even if the client source code was not publicly available, technically speaking protocol used by OHOL is very easy to recreate in your own application and you can write your own bot client in simple matter of hours (if you don't care about the graphical display like me - Santan works purely in console/terminal with no GUI).

Edit:
Also, what you pay for when you buy "the game" is not the game itself. What you buy is access to two services:
- Ability to login to official servers hosted under onehouronelife.com
- Access to already compiled and ready-to-go version of cliet distributed though onehouronelife.com
You actually don't need to pay the game to get client or server itself (compiling yourself or downloading from 3rd party like ohol.joriom.pl/download/list) and you can even redistribute them. You simply won't be able to access public servers hosted by Jason.

How could I notice that if I haven't played with official client for 4 months now?

But.... thats like a whole point of this game, is it not? If you don't believe me - confront this with Jason himself.

On the topic of structures required around the item itself - I can't really see that happening due to Jasons policy about whole "crafting system" in OHOL. It's always meant to be A + B = C + D where A or B can be time or user interaction itself, while D is optional. Jason already stated few months ago that in his mind there is no room for "between tiles interaction" with current implementation and hes not willing to rebuild it from zero. That was one of points against rivers from what I remember or maybe something more. And here we're talking about whole structure detection. But yeah, TL;DR; OHOL engine is limited and not really flexible for stuff like that (at least in Jasons eyes).

I think I will go kill myself now. Thanks...

No, but really, hypocrisy at its finest.
Lets start with with facts - nobody commented about you directly LMM (I can't be even bothered to fully spell your nick at this point) and yet you took something personally. Hit the table... Do you have reasons to believe you're a vain person LMM? Wait, not, I don't really want to hear an answer.

What I want though is for this thread to be back on the topic of Donkey Town. If we start namecalling here - I'm stomping my foot and closing yet another one.

I try to avoid giving to much details about how Santan really operates because I wonder how long will it take for people to find him out on their own. Also - if I give you any real details, you would most likely find him, investigate him and find better ways of recognizing Santan. Game would be over at that point

Not all of them. Just mine as far as I know. If anyone else developed a bot and would name it Santan I would strongly object

And yet Santan can survive up to old age on a regular basis.

What makes you think none of those things are already in place? Also, you think how my bot got its nickname, "Santan"?

You don't really need an "advanced bot" to log in, find berry, eat some berries, move randomly around, finally starve or get eaten by wolf, repeat.

Jason himself provides us with basic bot called "Stress Test Client" in his game code. You just need to compile it. It logs in and runs around randomly untill it starves.
It does not login to official serves (does not have auth support in it - so only custom servers without login check enabled) and does not reconnect but it took me just few minutes to fix those problems back when I was using this as a base to develope Santan bot.

Looking how protocol is basic ASCII text messages and how its well documented in game source code - you could realistically write a basic bot that releases curses, from scratch on any platform in just few hours. Remember - you don't need graphical interface for bot to operate - just the terminal/console window. Behind the scenes everything is number and how they are organized is very well documented and publicly available - provided by Jason himself.
