It was just a joke. (hover over the word joke to find out the definition of the word )

The next one to quote the image gets an extra spicy paprika on the server C:

Anyway, staying on topic, Neproify has announced on the Discord group, the forum is online and also, the first build is actually working, but the screen is blank, without GUIs, having only some testing text. Anyway, he's still looking for a scripter for the freeroam resource for EFLC, who knows Squirrel and Lua.
Here's how the login image looks like at the moment:

Client is working, that is the screen before you spawn(it takes about 20-30 seconds to load world :P). A little misunderstanding.

I can't see it

This is how the default IV:N server performs (you can notice the health bar is available to players right now, unlike IV:MP):

If you are curious to see how synced vehicles (as you can see, tires can be deflated when shooting them, unlike IV:MP) are and how IV:Network basically works, check out this video:

Took vehicle to crashy(bugged) swing place,  and this was the result.

Sadly a bug as well: unable to exit the vehicle when its damaged too much.

What server did you join, the one in the video? Also,

Good to know.

Good luck with this man, I really appreciate the hard work u putting here.

This is the IV:Network aftermath after testing it:
The port overall is working really fine, with vehicle damage enabled, as you can see in the image below:

Unfortunately, the damage sync isn't the best, and as you can see in the image above, player in car sync towards others is worse compared to IV:MP. Even though vehicle damage is enabled in IV:Network, it really needs some work when it comes to syncing burned vehicles to other players, as you can see in the spoiler below:

Spoiler for Lack of sync to other players and other observations:

As you can see in the images above, the white Turismo appears to be burnt to one player, while to the other it is not burnt, and not put where it actually is.
As you can see in the image above me, the player Kendal can see the player Vittorio drive a burnt car, while, at Vittorio, it isn't burnt. Weird, isn't it?
One more thing to note, even though this multiplayer port uses EFLC, it uses only the EFLC renditions of the radio stations, among specific radio stations: Vice City FM, Self-Actualization FM and RamJam FM (those stations appear to be white rectangles here, though). So, be surprised to not enter EFLC buildings.

Also, only vehicles from GTA IV are supported so far in the game. Also, if you with to spawn a car, use /cv [ID]. It works from /cv 0 to /cv 123.
All in all, IV:Network is a place with well synced health bars and vehicle damage, but, still needs work with player sync in vehicles and showing the state of vehicles properly. In rest, it needs work. I am planning on using freeroam to make some roleplay commands to start testing the possible Argonath RPG EFLC community. Also, @Neproify, the guy who made slight improvements to the port overall, needs our help. He said that he needs people coding in Lua and Squirrel, so, if you want to give him a helping hand, it would be appreciated.

Some server gameplay footage

Also, please note that if a vehicle limit is exceeded, all players get crashed from the server (I think it's around 30 or 40).
