Multiplayer?
« on: March 29, 2011, 09:27:44 pm »

Hey guys!

I am fairly new in this forum, so I hope I'm doing everything right. I did not find a thread like this via the search function.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to make DF a multiplayer game. I am not a modder and thus have no clue if it would be possible or not. I just thought of it and how much fun it would be!

Thanks,

DwarvenInsanity

I've never used it myself, but I think there's a utility called DFTerm2 that allows multiple people to connect remotely to a game via terminal, and could work something like that.  You can read about it on the wiki http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/Utility:Dfterm2  or the thread http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=50643.0

Doesn't seem to be up to date with .25 yet, but those are pretty recent changes and I don't know whether it would cause any problems.

Other than previous post, no multiplayer ever. It's been discussed a thousand times, and other than hacks, no multiplayer with ever happen.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.
