A lightly modified client for One Hour One Life, a cross-platform and open-source multiplayer survival game of parenting and civilization building by Jason Rohrer.
| Requirements | Installation | Usage | Added Features | Credits | License |
- Requires the base game to already be installed.
- Grab it from the download link provided when you created your official lifetime account, or from Steam.
- The full client, modded client, editor, and server are currently only provided for Windows in the "win_full" package.
- NOTE: The "win_full" package does not automatically grant you access to play on the official servers! However, you can use this package to host your own private server(s) directly on Windows.
- Use runServer.bat in the server folder to create the necessary symlinks & launch the server.
- Pre-compiled releases of just the modified client are available for Windows, Linux and macOS 10.5+.
Download the latest release for your OS and extract all 5 files from the zip file into the folder where your game is installed. There should be 1 executable and 4 text documents. That's it!
Now just launch the game with OneLife+.exe for Windows, OneLife_v###+.app on macOS (where ### is the client version), or OneLife+ on Linux.

In-Game Adjustable FOV Zoom
- Adds four new settings that control the FOV "zoom level" of the game, "fovScale", "fovScaleHUD", "fovPreferredMin", and "fovPreferredMax".
- "fovScale" controls your "zoom factor" and can be any value from 1.0 to 6.0.
- "fovScaleHUD" toggles locking your HUD at a 1.0x scale, separate from the game's FOV scale.
- "fovPreferredMin" and "fovPreferredMax" are presets that can you use to quickly switch between a minimum & maximum FOV scale.
- NOTE: Scales above 2x are likely to have significant amounts of "screen popping" around the edges. This is due to the amount of data that the server sends to the client at any given time and cannot be avoided. If this bothers you, then just don't zoom out that far!
-
Zoom-IN Magnifier
- Toggle a small zoomed-in magnifier, borrowed from the game's Editor. Great for seeing tiny objects wherever you move your mouse!
-
Lineage Fertility Panel
- Shows the fertility status for you and your mother. Statuses are: Incapable (for males), Too Young, Fertile, Too Old, or Dead.
- Also displays counts of any fertile living female relatives, not including yourself, separated by children and adults.
- Helpful for knowing if you or your mother can breed/feed, or determining the probability of survival for your family's lineage.
-
Age Display
- Adds your current character's age to the HUD's bottom information bar.
-
Adjustable Lifespan
- Adds a new setting that can be used to control the overall lifespan for clients & servers, "lifespanMultiplier".
- NOTE Settings must match on the client & server for it to properly work as expected.
-
Name Generator
- Automatically generate a name that the server allows, as it uses the same first and last name lists.
- Auto-populates your chat with "YOU ARE ", or "I AM " if you have not named yourself yet.
- Can generate names pseudo-randomly, or that begin with a specified letter.
- NOTE: You can customize the first and last name lists to only pick from your favorites! Remember that names not already included on these lists will not be recognized by the server.
-
Easy Chat
- Auto-focuses the chat box when you start typing. Never "lose" your chat by forgetting to press Enter first!
- Includes keybinds for triggering Emotes or Instant Death commands.
Thanks to Joriom for the detailed guides, Bimble for the VirtualBox image, Drakulon for the original FOV mod concept, and UncleGus for the original lifespan concept.
Special thanks to these awesome people!
