Frankly, I am not even sure how they would go about implementing multiplayer for G1. oo
Without having the game SC, the only? way would be to create a "wrapper", that is run at the same time with Gothic 1. It would have to read values from a certain memory adress that contains player position. Then it would have to send it over the network to the other client, whose wrapper would then.... Gee.
You really cant just "inject" the data as a models position...
Even if it did work out nicely, it would be a jerky.
All this is made even more miserable by the fact that OS will be guarding memory segments with fanaticism beyond comprehension. The wrapper would have to be run in a "privileged mode", which is just inviting a disaster.
I would not even attempt this without source code...
It might even be easier to re-implement gothic with some other engine and using the assets shipped with the game.

GothicX directly works with Gothic-Classes, because it completely injects into the game!

GothicX is running in the games' address space, so it don’t have problems with performance or memory-protection.

Gotta admit, that is clever.
Based on the fact that you are the developer of the thing, it seems that you indeed know what you are doing.
Im looking forward into seeing what comes out of this one.
I used to be the biggest fan of this mod when it "appeared". After a few months they told us that they'd release the full multiplayer game in about a month or so and I was freaking happy. And when the month ended and I asked again, since there wasn't any announcement, download etc, they told me that unfortunately some things went wrong, and I had to wait a couple of YEARS till the mp arena mod would get ready. That happened a few years ago if I remember well, when the mod wasn't as popular as it is now. Well, since then I was almost certain that this mod would never be released - at least by that team.
Due to personal reasons, there is no time for the project at the moment.
That does not mean that GothicX was canceled or lies on ice.
Specifically, this means that my work is limited on creating new concepts at the moment.
The situation is actually the same as last year - you hear nothing from me for a while until I have something new to say.

Yes, we're working on GothicX: Arena right now.
A preview of GothicX with Thunderhawks Arena-Mod is planned for the next quarter.

Thread necromancy... it's not really worth dragging up a thread that's been dormant for six months just to make a nonsense post like that. So please take a moment to ponder upon the importance of what you've got to say before pressing the Submit Reply-button; in this case, it wasn't important enough to wake up the dead.
But still... I would like to see you eat your foot and teeth, so I'm hoping to Innos that this does come out some day! Pls Youtube it if'n when it happens.

That would be cool.
We'll see...
