great to hear. once it's out i'll test it with my buddy :)

The improved sync will make it much easier to test as well. I'm more than happy to test with someone as my buddy and brother are too busy to get with the program.

I'm really looking forward to it now...

Great news. Are you pointing to a special date yet? :D

�: Question answered :)

Really good news! :)

Will some kind of TES test server appear?

the test server is already made about 2 months

*Thumbs up*, is save to the server going to come soon cos there is problem if player saves game while at server and there is other ppl online, next time you login to server the ppls characters are saved to ur save file and turned to NPC lol.

haha great better sync, and nice your doing tes IV support, haha well if you didnt i was gonna port it myself so you just saved me alot of work thanks haha

he said he is adding a GUI interface (which is funny cause its like saying atm machine) that shows a message box i assume means chat

Thanks for correcting me ;D No, it's only an interface to the Fallout graphical elements like pop-ups, not a chat yet ;)

that explains a few things. lol

Good to hear news. Keep good job!

7 days to go

"The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion support" sounds awsome, mod so far is also great. it is nice to se a multiplayer mod for this engine that don't quit. best of luck and gods speed :)

Recycler when will we have a chat system implemented and what sections of syncing will be worked on? :D
-Aleks

It has been planned that the chat and GUI is going to be coded by houtin (https://www.vaultmp.com/index.php?topic=67.0), I'm not sure if he's already working on it / when he will have the time to work on it. For the next revision, the basic sync is going to improved a lot (and I mean it). I'm working on a Fallout / Oblivion API which is going to replace the underlying layers of current vaultmp versions. It will be the base for future syncs like combat, also it's the only practicable way to continue serious development on the mod ;)

This next revision will definitely be a milestone, which will not only greatly improve the game experience but also enable much faster and efficient developing of multiplayer functionalities :)

I am new in this forum but guys,if you will create this mod in full edition with animations you are god.
Is a FANTASTIC project!!!,really keep working on it because this is not A mod,this IS THE mod!

yeah dud we won't stop till we finish

This is really great, and it sounds like you guys really know what you're doing. I've been talking with a few people who know a little about the gamebryo engine and past attempts at making multiplayer mods for these games and they were doubtful about this to say the least. I then proceeded to show them the youtube videos posted about your progress and they said, "yeah that's usually as far as you get before you realize it's impossible." It's a little disheartening to hear this but you seem to be getting over all the hurdles previous modders have come across and I hope you don't get discouraged by any future ones you might come across.

When are you ganna Update it for Fo3 on Steam? I would really like to try this

NOTHING is impossible, NOTHING can only be done in one way, VaultMP will not fail, I can guarantee.

i use fo3 on steam, and it works just fine. just make sure you disable xlive.

Nice work :D
Keep up THE good work!

That much I look forward to the update

Recycler, not to stress you or anything but your adding big changes like oblivion support which will require more effort to keep up with all 3 ( fallout 3, nv, oblivion ) in my opinion you should tempoarily discontinue it then when vaultmps progressed enough, finish it.
-Aleks

Personally I think just 1 should be worked on, then start working on the support for all 3, because it will take more time up and multiplayer would be lovely if it was released at full support for a game then continuing to the next one. Either that or there could be separate programs for each game.

same opinion. I think FIRST Fallout 3 Only has to be finished - then others.

Well, I thoght taht vaultmp was engine related multiplayer feature, not just any particular porduct... correct me if I'm wrong, but all other usefull stuff(UI, New features) could be done by mods on the server...

yea,for me new vegas is nice but only fallout 3 need multiplayer for me,new vegas is big but open without zones,fallout 3 have some zones example the center of dc,and the other side of dc when you have to go to the adams air force base.
Fallout 3,for me,is more easy to mod and there are more zones.

I think you're right. That's probably why it's easy to port it over to games running the same engine.

I think you should keep up the good work, and hire more staff team.

Can you give a your estimate to when the Chat box will arrive? The main thing into scripting is informing players of information, sending data throughout the chat would be lovely.

I'm so glad to see this come. It's been a epic progress over the few months already xD!

vaultmp is an engine related multiplayer framework (at least it's going to be), it only took little effort to make it work with Oblivion too. I'm not involved with the development of the GUI, I'm sorry I can't give you an estimate about the release. Still waiting for houtin to arrive here... ;)

Unfortunately I have to postpone the release of the announced next revision for a week or so. This will be the biggest update on the mod ever released; large parts have already been rewritten and re-designed, but it's impossible to finish it until this weekend. It's all for a solid future of the mod, no extra-fancy unnecessary code stuff, and I don't want to rush the development of important underlying systems :)

(see what has already been done on the new version: https://code.brickster.net/revision.p...p;isdir=1& (loading this page might be slow))

Insane, I'm going to be now converting bit includes and efficient includes to my server upcoming.

thanks a lot mate.

@Dantiko: As far as I know, none of the contributors are getting paid for this.

As for the GUI / chat box, it'll be complete today or tommorrow. The D3D9 hook is finished and works fine in all d3d9 games + steam.

Awesome!!

You're insane.

Chatbox is complete :) . Now all Recycler has to do is the network coding.

Enjoy.

EDIT: I'm aware that the arrows do not work. You can expect some functionality along with them soon. ;)
