English Propilkki2 discussion here!

[Kimbow]

Yea maby it is, but people talk about it like its a better way to catch a fish, maby they got it wrong?

Lets se what Mikko says.

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Better way to catch fish, while drilling a hole  with right mouse click? No way..

In fishing-window, left click on your rod = basic lure moving and right click = free moving (like slow rising).

The talk that is going around is, When you get a bite, dont just let go of the rod, reel in the fish with right mouse button.

But as i understand now, its just bogus, just as i thought.

One fucking idiot said that all people should buy the game cus its just 30 SEK, and it gets better if you pay..
Well it was just AbramisBrama, and we all know he is not really right up there!

I guess there are som misconceptions out there  :)

If someone is REALLY collecting money by selling Propilkki 2, tell it to us. It will go to police investigations immediately.

Of course!

[mcjanis]

I have 1 question ...
Why some of menu items is not available ?

[calle <swe>]

Happy hollydays all !!!

[phreonua]

I think it will be realy usful feature if we can run game exe with some keys and authost start automatic when the start game.
For example: 'Propilkki2.exe -auto'. We can write a simple script, and after server reboot the autohost game start.

[LeeHooker]

Hi all! Thank you for the great game. I'm from Greece and i'm trying to find a way throught this forum. I'm not sure if I am writting at the right post. Everything is in Suomi language and it's Greek to me!!
Anyway, I would like to ask if there is any fishing guide for this game. What lures to use for what fish, fishing strategy (are we moving the rod, up-down, right-left?) e.t.c. I have no real expierience in lake fishing, I use to fish at the sea. So if you can give me some tips would be very helpfull to me.

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Hmm.. Actually not in english, but finnish guide is available. Sorry, but I have no time to translate it.

..and you can choose english from settings of your profile. Just select profile (upper bar) and then under "muokkaa profiilia" is "perusasetukset" (basic settings). Choose it and select english.

Hello, everyone!
Mikko, thnx for excellent game!
I'm from Russia and I often gone real winter fishing. The game looks very realistic, its cool!

P.S. After NY holidays here was very low temperature -45C, but today is -23C and we gone 2-days fishing  :-D
P.S. Excuse me, but my English is not well...

//Alexx aka Hondavod, Tomsk, Russia//

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

We have +4 C here in Finland now. Ices are weak and only "boneheads" are icefishing. We havent got real winter at this year at all.

Is Tomsk somewhere in Siberia?

Yes, you are right, it is Siberia.
Ices are very strong here, especially in spring, when the height of the ice is about 80 centimeters  :-o
It is very difficult to drill many holes.

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Little bit off-topic, but..

Normally we have also here 60-80cm (or even more) ice in March. Now there have been 2 poor winters in a row. Only dark, rain and thing called "räntä" (very wet snow).

[karhu_pl]

Is there any limit of players in multiplayer game? I've heard about 20 players. Is that true?

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

20 is limit now, in future (after some graphics optimizations) there might be more.. about 30-40, even 50. 50 players need a huge map to play!

[Somm]

50 players need a huge map to play!

Yep... I confirm it as a player :) Lehmilampi, for example, can not properly serve even 20 players... fish became extremely scary, and instead of "Nice biting!", "What a monster!" and "Never was so good" you will scream "Damn this lake", "F**king shit!" and even "Voi isäkissan vittu!"

[Torlas]

Hello everyone I am a dedicated fisherman in the US and I love to ice fish. I came across this game and thought I would try it. I have downloaded the installer but I cannot get it to install. I have shutdown my firewalls and everything else I can think of but when I double click the installer internet explorer pops up for a moment then dissapears. It then asks me if I would like to open, save, or cancel I have tried if I click open it opens internet explorer again for a second and then closes it and repeats. Can anyone help me? I would love to play.

[los(nor)]

Try saving it on your desktop,an open it from there :-)

[Torlas]

thanks for the suggestion Los but it is saved on my desktop :(

[los(nor)]

And you are sure you have the right file?  http://www.kalassa.net/propilkki2/index.php?id=1  29,4 mb.Sounds weird. Try Firefox :-)  Maybe your virusprotection think the .exe file is virus.Try to disable it.

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

Is the downloaded file .rar -ended ? If so, then unrar with using i.e. winrar -software. Then install it normally.

[Torlas]

Mikko THANK YOU! I feel like an idiot I did not even see the .rar tag. What a wonderful game!

[Epsilon]

Hi, my name is Pavel and I'm from Russia, Tyumen

here's short video of the fishing way we use here. Do you have something like this?
also, we dont usually have so much lures... just worm like things... i don't know in english... the babies of the mosquitos. Usually you can buy them in a fish store for fish.

and some home made metal lures...

So how it works... you fish with the usual fishing rod for some time to catch small fish. then you drill lots of holes in deeper water and set up these green things. We make them ourselves. Then you wait for the big fish to catch the bait. You can fish with the fishing rod nearby.

Hi Mikko!
First of all- thanks for an exellent game!
The whole time i have been wondering what your alter ego is saying in the game, besides the coughing and spitting :-)
Could someone translate it in english, please?
I understand that when you are finishing, then they call for someone named Jokkinen, but what is he saying while fishing?
Thanks!

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

There are lots of speaking at weighting zone.. some of these are hard to translate (i cant even remember what they say).

But when fishing... "sopivan mittasta, sopivan mittasta"...  it is something like "correct size, nice sized" etc..  kind of monologue of a player.

And the other one is "potkii se onni näköjään köyhääkin".. it is something like "it seems like stroke of luck hits also the poor ones".. these are "spoken language" and sayings/phrases, so therefore I find them hard to translate.

If someone has better translations, please go ahead :)   Was there more of these phrases available? I mostly play without sounds, so I cant remember..


Epsilon, I check your vid later.. Too busy right now.  :wink:

[Maris]

Thanks!
At least i have a clue now :-)
I do not dare to write what i am hearing- you probably would not understand it anyway :-D

[calle <swe>]

welcome to www.propilkki.se we have a record list with the biggest fishes. Look it up and check it maybe you have one to :)

[hondavod]

Hello!
Mikko, I have one small question: when a new version of Propilkki2 (0.6) will be
available for playing?

[Mikko_-Procyon-]

We are not sure yet. We WILL release it during "winter months" (incl. spring months), but then we need to leave some planned updates/features out of it. TIme is running too short. Some new features have been much more complicated to create than we thought. We are not yet even in beta-testing part of "release-cycle".
