Killing Fever Online 2.10.1 Beta 2

In addition to the changes from the previous beta, this beta features...

VIDEO PLAYBACK!!

That's right. You can now play videos in your KFO client. Thanks to Leifa's open-source efforts for the DRO client, I've been able to backport and tweak most of the video playback into the KFO client.

To Install: Download the Install-Script

Extract the Install-Script.zip in the folder where you wish to install KFO to, for ex. Games/Killing Fever Online/update.bat, and then run update.bat

Known Issues:

Downloading and installing Attorney_Online-windows-2019-windows.zip manually will still prompt you to update even though you're on the latest version, leading you to download the program twice to get rid of the error. Sorry, I'm working on it!

How 2 Video:

• Make sure to download and install video codecs so your PC is able to play videos! The client will check if video playback is supported on startup, and, if not, will link you to the same website.
• Once you have the codecs installed, re-launch your client to check if everything is set up correctly. If no pop up happens, your client is ready for videos!

Now, how to set up your char.ini to be able to send videos (on supported servers, namely latest version of KFO-Server)

• Create a new section in your char.ini, like so:

[videos]
1 = test.mp4
2 = videos/test2.mp4

• The video paths work according to this logic:
  • First, check inside the character folder's videos/ folder, e.g. base/characters/chara/videos/ + test.mp4
  • If not found, check inside the character folder, e.g. base/characters/chara/ + test.mp4
  • If not found, use the path as-is to explore the base folder, e.g. base/ + test.mp4
• The number corresponds to the emote number to associate the video with. Video will start after any interjection shouts, before preanimation.
• Once you use the associated emote, the video will play before that emote no matter what - your preanimation checkbox has no effect and video will play even on idle sprites. This might change in the future.
• Videos can also be interrupted with interjection shouts. Videos will pause the message queue as well, preventing people from interrupting your video by simply speaking.
  You can also change if the video expands, or gets put in a letterbox to fit the dimensions. To create an expand override, create an .ini file with the video filename and extension, like so:
  test.mp4.ini
  Put it next to the video, and in the ini, type in expant=true.

Killing Fever Online 2.10.1 Beta 1

Killing Fever Online 2.10.1 Beta

Attorney Online Golden: KFO is the next iteration branched off from Attorney Online 2.10.1.
Picking up where the original Attorney Online Golden left off, we aim to provide users and communities a more user-friendly experience with new features and Quality of Life additions, as well as full retro-compatibility with older and existing content from AO2.

Now featuring Automatic Updating on Client Launch!

Now, any time you launch the client, the client will check if an update is available for download from the official KFO repository! You will be prompted if you want to install the new update. If you want to turn automatic updating off, go into the Options -> Gameplay -> Automatic Updates.

To Install: Download the Install-Script

And run update.bat in the folder where you wish to install KFO to, for ex. Games/Killing Fever Online/update.bat

Known Issues:

Downloading and installing Attorney_Online-windows-2019-windows.zip manually will still prompt you to update even though you're on the latest version, leading you to download the program twice to get rid of the error. Sorry, I'm working on it!
