IV:Network - multiplayer for Episodes From Liberty City

[Neproify]

What was IV:Network?

IV: Network (IV:Net) was a modification for Grand Theft Auto: IV (GTA:IV) founded in 2013 - Development ceased due to shifting to GTA V with GTA:MP, which was later shut down by Take 2. It turns GTA:IV into an alternative multiplayer game. You can play over the internet (or LAN). You will need the original GTA:IV PC game in order to play IV:Net.

In IVNet you are able to do almost anything that you can do in single player GTA:IV. IV:Net features the possibility to create your own scripted modes. There are many game modes that feature a series of different and fun things to do. Many of which are not possible in single player.

Who am I?

I’m Neproify, a hobbyist programmer. I love MTA:SA, I love open source and I love customization. Why I am writing this? 1 year ago I created this topic: http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=115201.0. I was trying to improve IV:MP RC3, but I failed. Then I tried to write my own multiplayer. It was working, but really simple, not polished, it needed a lot of work. I abandoned this project too. 6 months ago I found the IV:Network source code. It is a really good basis for IV based multiplayer.

What I did already?

• Fixed crash that was happening on death,
• Synchronized vehicle’s engine state, dirt level and lock state,
• Created basic objects synchronization,
• Fixed linux server synchronization(caused by linux differences on time handling),
• Improved resource system(reloading, loading, unloading, etc.),
• Finished client scripts,
  
• Communication between client and server scripts(MTA like triggerServerEvent and triggerClientEvent),
• Basics for client GUI’s(onClientRender event, getScreenSize(), dxDrawText(), more coming soon).

If you guys switch to IV:MP EFLC, Most of us don't have that and we won't be able to play.
Think for a second?

In Case we got this client launching and supported officially ,The Server Management Team will not Stop the current server from being Hosted publicly, Therefore the server will remain Online for all, meanwhile they work for the other one.
