I decided to stop working on vaultmp support of TES IV: Oblivion. Also I abandoned the idea of adding TES V: Skyrim support in the near future. The main reason for that decision is the extra work I have to put in (although the games are very similar engine-wise, I still have to workaround several quirks in Oblivion, for example).

This may be very bad news for some of you

However, the original purpose of the mod was to bring multiplayer experience to the Fallout genre. The approach towards Oblivion wasn't a good idea, retrospectively...

I will leave the source code parts for Oblivion intact (commented out / separate branch, though). If someone wants to continue developing TES support, there is no need to start from scratch.

EDIT: Oblivion 'patch' for adding support back in: https://github.com/Recycler1993/vaul...master/patches

Fine, so you can focus on Fallout MP... it's all I need!

Nice, but when we will see new video progress of mp?

i think you chose good option, imho Vault-Tec MP isnt for TES. and now the progress will move in better speed.

Concentrating on just one aim is better than developing something for a bundle of games. Hope this decision will improve the progress in time

I believe Fallout is a better choose for a multiplayer branch. Ok the elder scrolls is awesome but the combat will be really bad balanced everyone knows the combat sucks.

And if sombody don't agree:

Look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzsTu...f1j2iNVMR1c%3D

And go back to skyrim.

Fallout 3 first, please.

And New Vegas.

And New Tokyo in the future.

It's for the better, and completely understandable.
Hopefully this will accelerate the process of development.
