Hey r/oblivionmods - Msk from the OblivionMP (OB:MP) team here! We went a bit quiet after trailer #4 because the work since then has been the unglamorous yet important kind: compat/smoke testing the client mod - now we know that it paid off. The launch process is smoother, crashes dropped, sync latency is at levels good enough for actual play, and along the way we shipped a batch of fixes or features testers asked for. The clips in this post come straight from our community testers over the past two weeks.

Later this week the first server owners from the Early Access group receive the SDK together with the server binary. That means the first community-hosted servers running outside our own machines (private or internet-facing) running their own resources and scripts. Roleplaying commands, custom mechanics and systems, game modes like prop hunt or arena, all of that becomes buildable soon.

On our end, focus shifted to NPC sync and quest sync. Most of Oblivion's Remastered world hangs off those two systems, a legacy going back to the original Gamebryo engine before the Remaster devs ported it into UE5, so getting them right matters most.

If you were running your own OB:MP server, what would you script there first? Heavy RP with factions? Prop hunt in the Imperial City? Happy to answer questions in the thread.
