Elder Scrolls Oblivion Third-Party Multiplayer Alpha

A smart and enterprising modder has released MultiTES4 — his attempt at an Elder Scrolls Oblivion mod/add-on that adds multiplayer to the game.

According to the modder, he started the work on this project around the 7th of May, 2006. The MultiTES4 mod consists of three components: A client application, a server application, and a Oblivion ‘esp’ modification file.

The current version (being only an alpha) is pretty limited in it’s capabilities. It supports only 2 people running around Cyrodiil. The other players in the game are represented as NPCs to each individual on their computer. The NPC will move and travel to match the players that are connected to the server. This just goes to show that multiplayer can be added to single-player games which was originally not designed to support it. That’s why whatever it is that you have to say about this app would be greatly appreciated by the modder.

With those aptly mentioned, let’s jump right into the installation and use instructions:

Installation And Use Instructions (Client):

1) Put the executable anywhere on your computer. Doesn’t matter where.

2) Run the executable.

Installation And Use Instructions (Server):
1) Put the executable someone on the machine that is to be used as the server. The server and client CANNOT be executed on the same machine.
2) Run the executable. Sit back. Relax. Contemplate the meaning of life.

Installation And Use Instructions (Oblivion Mod):
1) Load up a save game. Now save again (not quick save, and take note of which save it is). This will be the loading point every time you want to play MultiTES4.
2) Put the MultiTES4_0.2.esp file into your Oblivion’s data directory, i.e D:GamesOblivionDataMultiTES4_0.2.esp.
3) Run the OblivionLauncher.exe (it’s also the shortcut “Oblivion” that is put into your start menu).
4) When the launcher runs, click on the “Data Files” button. If that button is shaded out, you need to install the registry file listed above. Follow the instructions below these.
5) You will be shown a list of mods that are on your computer. “Oblivion.esm (Master File)” should be checked by default as it’s the master file.
6) Check the check box next to the “MultiTES4_0.2.esp (Player File)” entry in the list. Click the “Ok” button in the bottom right of the screen.

Installation And Use Instructions (Oblivion Registry Entry):
1) Once you’ve extracted the REG file onto your computer, right click on it and select “Edit”. It should open it in Notepad.
2) Change the “Installed Path”=”D:GamesOblivion” entry to the directory of you’re Oblivion install.
3) Select “File”, then “Save”. Close Notepad.
4) Now double click on the REG file and select “Yes” when you’re asked to add the entry to your computer’s registry.
