This is an ISp lin up to Other peoepl's Morrowind?
What the crap?
This is insane, hence I shall be downloading it.

[the_ragnarok702]

uh could u give a description of what exactly this mod is and does cuz for all i know it could be a virus that will jack up my computer.

[Cheesemonger]

Seems like a respectable enough site, probably not a virus. Besides, you have Southpark Mario, or used to.

As for what it does, remberm Diablo 2's ability to hook up with other players via your ISP number? That is pretty much how it works, or so I think. May download once I figure out other peoepl who have morrowinds IP number. Seems like it just may work. ANyone who has ever tried this, raise your hand, and explain.

at last we can have a tournament to prove my teh uberness.

I tried it...
i emediately downloaded it and tested it on my home network.
---THERE IS NO VIRUS IN THE DOWNLOAD AS OF WHEN THIS IS WRITEN, HENCE IT IS SAFE---

it works!!! but to en extent; please read...

1-you cannot save a game, because it is not scripted to do so yet.

2-i linked two computers: computer-A and computer-B, and did three things

First------ i ran into each other, com-A saw com-B run across the screen.

Second-- com-A killed com-B, on one com-A the guards treated it as a normal
murder and tried to kill me. while on com-B everything was still in
peace, com-B was still alive, and com-A was just standing there.

Third----- i attacked com-A with com-B. com-A(who is much stronger) started to
attack com-B as if it(com-A) were just another scripted, "AI" character.
he just chased me around till i levitated, then didnt know what to do.

3-you have to load an area to see the other person.(that means going through a
door, or walking all the way from another cell. transportation of any kind dont
allow you to see the other person untill it loads a cell)

4-all items already carried are duplicated. im assuming this means if both players
complete a quest with an item reward, that too will duplicate.

5-the only thing i can think of that i didnt test, because neither of my saves can
yet, is to see if after quest progress, in some cases the terrain, or interior
terrain changes, that could cause problems, and example of this can be thirsk
while doing the main bloodmoon quests.

so in conclusion, we observe that it dont let you "duel", nor allows each other to observe the other doing anything worth of importance. the mod will duplicate items, and wont let us see each other untill after a "cell load". and we cannot save.

now dont assume taht this mod is worthless, because in the readme.txt it states that the mod is still being developed and is nowhere near completion. the writer of the mod asked for emails to state bugs, i will email a link to this forum, so just state your found bugs here i guess. :)and there is no virus:)

p.s. i wont be criticized for this post too will i?

[TheGnome]

Thanks sephier

Everyone thought I am posting viruses
Sephier did a good job in explaining the mod, I read
about it yesterday on a german board. I dont know
who is doing this mod or if he continues this thing.

But hey, it is the proof that multiplayer IS possible...

Remebering the start of MTA (GTA-Multiplayer):
It looked and feeled much like this mod now looks and feels... !

Gnome, you've neglected to read this, this, this, and this.

Sepier, you've neglected to realize that we don't want an arrogant fool like Shanjaq on the forums.

[Adras]

Ok, I drug my savegame into the red box and it turned yellow and writing appeared and 4 text boxes. When I hit connect, nothing happens. Do you have to be connected to another computer for it to work? Do I have to change the IP number in the text boxes? Do I need the IP numbers it gives me in the yellow box? And why wont the connect button work?!

[the_ragnarok702]

so basically SO FAR the only interaction a player can do with another is to see them. Damn i can't wait until this mod is complete.
