Eastern Eclipse Mod: Multiplayer physics in DX9

[Flamed up]

Originally posted by Radcliff

The team from the Obelisk Productions is currently working on a brand new multiplayer mod for Crysis. It is called Eastern Eclipse and will bring you more fun to your multiplayer experience as the team is currently working on getting physics working in DirectX9 as well. In their first update they have prepared a demonstration video and also released some screenshots of their progress.


About the Mod
For those of you who are a bit confused, multiplayer physics were only enabled in the DX10 version of Crysis. Thanks to Insanto and his team, the necessary changes have been made. Currently anything except from trees and jointed breakables is working fine, as you can see in the video below.

WIP Screenshots
As mentioned before, the team has also included some screenshots which show off broken objects in DX9 on the retail map Beach.

 

That's all we have for you right now.  If you want to see more on this mod, visit the forum thread.

This is the mod which will ensure future of Crysis MP imo

Omfg... how do ppl like this do stuff like this?? This is insane, absurd, against the laws of nature. And at the same time oh so sweet. I dont have a gpu to run Crysis yet, so i had no idea there was no physics in Dx9. Is that the same thing for the day and night cycle? Gosh dx10 sounds holy, but good thing we have our boys here rendering it obsolete

I dunno, they can't break trees yet, its just barrels and boxes and stuff. And I didn't see anything get thrown around either.

As I said on the front page, they are still only in beta stage. more will come, I'm sure of it.

btw, you can't throw anything in DX10 MP either.

@Damarius: It does not enable day/night. At least not yet.

[Damarius101]

Oh ok. Do we have an update on this mod yet? Its gonna suck kinda, because your gonna have to have the mod to play right? So there wont be many people using it. Unless it enables it for your server on a whole!

Can we get updates for this mod anywhere?

Enjoy! I sure will!

Sweet, I'm guessing the trees are still indestreuctible tho.

Remember you can't use this mod until a dedicated server actually host it or if you host one yourself, you can't join a random standard DX9 game with this modification.

[James-Headcrab]

Nice. Downloaded.
Hopefully there are some servers up soon.

[Smartino]

It's been released a long time ago, so thanks for nothing
But it's pretty cool, though you still can't destroy trees or small houses.

crysis mp is already dead... hopefully there wont have to be these kinds of mods for crysis 2, because crytek wont ensure dx10 only physics in MP.... hopefully.

Oh ok, but is there a difference between the beta and this one?

[Flamed up]

That's another thing, I doubt it was even an open beta. Just game footage of it, or do you have any proof that would make me think otherwise?

Yes I do actually , it was a closed one but here's the page on which you could sign up for the beta: http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=25827.
What I meant with old was: the download is almost one and a half months old: 24.04.2008.

[Flamed up]

Then that is not the final version, I can't imagine it is.

[Smartino]

No indeed it isn't, it's still only version: 0.8.0.18 so I expect a new version coming soon.

[Damarius101]

Flamed up, wanna host a server with this mod on ? That would be frikin awesome! We'll talk about it later i guess.

[Steakslim]

I'd say hold off till they get destructable trees, roadsigns, and fences going.
