One Hour One Life Forums

I did not accuse you, i just said that cheap alt accounts for sure broke the curse mechanics that should level out excess grieving. Since this mechanic is currently broken grieving takes over, so that some / many? players seems to simply drop playing while the griefers take overhand. If you want or not this affects also on you, since if grieving would not be be a big deal in general few players grieving from time to time would not be a big deal. But since it is the community might get angry easily.

The question is not if it should have, i simply explained that whatever you do will have consequences one way or another. As you call into the forest it calls out. So i don't think its even possible to separate in game and out of game fully.

As said i think for this mechanics the curse system was invented, so that you play together with similar players that enjoy what you enjoy. Since this mechanic is currently broken the experience from lot of others which seem to don't enjoy what you do is happening. Other games solve that with having a separate pvp server, but in OHOL it seems there are currently not enough that long for a pvp server. Another problem is that the current combat system in OHOL is quite broken so it does not give much room for pvp.

If I understand the current game rules you can do everything you want in game as long as you live with the consequences / curses in game. As of the current Discord rules, i think Mods are not allowed to judge you for what you did in game.

As for general game experience, i think original Jason wanted to have some drama in the game otherwise why is there a war sword? But since the combat nerve he seems to have decided to go along a more peaceful path like Twisted is playing. I think it would be nice to have some balance between some drama and a peaceful way of playing but currently there seems to be no balance. Its kind of interesting like Space Station 14 solved it with having clear antagonist roles.

With the Open Life Reborn project i tried to fix the combat system, so that it is more balanced. There is also a fortification / new property system where you can protect your stuff more easily. For sure not perfect but a beginning.

I think there are two ways of looking at it.
1. As far as i know Jason allows this kind of different playstyles in OHOL but encourages the community to use the Donkey Town Mechanics to separate these players from others. With cheap alt accounts this mechanics seems currently broken. So out of this perspective modds / the community should separate between in game and Discord. Since i guess most of the community wont agree with you on grieving playstyles being an enrichment they will also Judge you out of the game for it.

2. From a perspective of Karma (action and consequences) there is no separation between worlds, so your action in one
most likely affect your experience in another. You might be able to separate it mentally, but your perceived experience dos not. One belongs to the other, so enjoy the experience what you have created or change your actions.

3. Since Discord mods should i guess not judge about what you do in game i guess best way to complain is to write directly to Jason or ask first some senior modds to rule in. Still i guess this will in the end not make your perceived experience much better since 2. universal law of consequences still applies. So best solution is either drop pvp or search a game / server where others like the same thing as you.

And yea nice piece of art!

yea, especially bear griefing is to OP.
For sure bears should not follow that long distance and on horse you should not be immune to wild animals.

In Open Life Reborn its harder to lure Bears in Towns. Also you  can protect yourself with fence gates and springy doors that animals cant pass.
On top of that Ai guards will shoot down attacking animals or exiled players.

In the discord server there is short introduction for starters.

Otherwise there is a big big changelog with most of the mechanics and what is still to TODO and what is planned here:
https://github.com/PXshadow/OpenLife/bl … er/TODO.MD

Some changes might be missing in there or little bit outdated, but most should be up to date.
Yea i want to clean it more up, so that it is a prober manual.

There is not yet a display how many players are currently on. Currently the server is not well known, so mostly people play when there are events like trekky streaming it. But yea a counter would be nice to have!

If you have further questions at best ask in a new Topic, or in Discord im happt to answer.

Still lot do

I wrote a fully new server for OHOL Called Opfen Life Reborn.
- It has no race restrictions but some race boni like getting more Banana if you are Brown. And yes Banana grow back on this server, actually everything grows back on this server like in a natural world.
- There is no leadership nonsense and you can attack everybody with a small 6 sec cooldown.
- You are born back close to where you have a proper grave (actually in vanilla Jason fixed that if you are 60 and have some living relatives you are born back to them)
- Not yet a watercan, yet, since it would need a client change, but there are rivers and oceans...
many many many many more new mechanics but still playable with vanilla client.

You can play it with any normal OHOL client by entering server IP:
37.120.188.155

More information you can find here:
https://discord.gg/XtVEA5RVjX

Feel welcome to try it out!
Since written fully new there are quite still some bugs so please be patient.
As always feedbag is welcome!

here a video from trekky playing it (@trekky thx a lot for testing it):

P.s.: And yes in Open Life Reborn are ways to Praise Jinbali since he helped tons with testing!

Sounds like the description of a magic ritual.... a snake. some badlands a none black zombie....

Try out my fork of OHOL Open Life Reborn. Just increased the decay time of rabbit fur cloths by a lot.
I think also the server does not count time once offline, but not 100% sure, since i implemented it one year ago.
If you dont like Ai or decay, just switch it to zero in Settings.txt

1: In Open Life Reborn short OLR (Community build version of OHOL) depending on how healthy you eat / YUM you can life longer then 60 min. Last lives i lived around 90 min.

3: in OLR the map is limited but has no edge / is kind of round The hole mechanics are changed so that stuff will come back / decay with time. Over time this leads to that resources accumulate in not used parts of the map which encourages to explore / use this parts.

4: OLR has rivers / oceans and mountains which can block the movement. You can build bridges or use (cars for now) to cross the water. Why cars, since you play with the same vanilla OHOL client there are no boats yet until Jason adds some.

How to try it out?
Use a normal OHOL client and enter this IP for custom server:
IP: 37.120.188.155
Port: 8005 (DEFAULT)

Be warned, currently its not much known server so there are few humans.
If you want to try it out with fellow humans ask them to join and then use say: !JH to jump to fellow humans

Its fully new written server, so expect some bugs.

Have fun!

Tech evaluated leadership should be easy to implement and would not produce any lag. Still not sure if it would be a good thing to do.

One Open Life Reborn the gene score is replaced by YUM score and YUM score of your followers / kids / grandkids.
So leaders who have great YUM and tons of followers will have high scores. Each child / follower is always positive, there is only a negative impact if you attack them without exiling them first.

There is also score from up to i think 10 generations if you have a grave. So fixing the well and all would matter a lot since it counts many generations for score.

if you write in the Open Life Discord channel before you jump in i might join to give you a tour.

Sure you can contact him...

Last time i asked him was round about halve a year ago then he wanted to add some endgame to the game in some way.

Dont know if this is still his plan.

If you like content update there is 2HOL

If you want mechanics update (Rivers / Mountains / More Alive world) there is Open Life Reborn.

Waiting for Jason is like waiting for the end of the universe. If might come it might not come and if it comes, no one knows when it comes.

lol yea! It was mainly the performance update plus optimized pottery for the AI. Most village changes where already in before the break and now work quite well with the performance boost.

Now with food stuff its mainly optimizing farming and fire food missing.

Of course taking care of sheep / cows and making stew could also help, but this i see as advanced stuff.

Maybe sheep for compost could help a lot for older villages but this needs also shovel making.

Other stuff that could make the Ai more efficient is knife making / handling. I think it would be fine if the Ai takes care of it well, so that it wont decay that often. 

Other wise basic migration, combat and more construction stuff gathering plus better long way pathing is missing.

Im also thinking about letting the Ai make graves with gravestones for nobles (1 per village per account at max) to boost the reincarnation potential.

It came a long way, most basic stuff should work now.
