MODERATORS
Are they inactive right now? I'm not sure if they went the way of re3 (a reverse engineered version of GTA 3 designed to fix bugs, port the game to several platforms, and expand modding capabilities) and were shut down under pressure from Rockstar.
I think so - last update was released in 2015
I was looking forward to trying re3 but rockstar's lawyers decided to be a killjoy. There was another mod that joins the GTA3, VC and SA maps together and uses a modified version of SAMP for multiplayer (gta underground IIRC), I believe they got spooked by Rockstar too and pulled the plug
There are archived versions of re3 and reVC if you wanted to give it a try. I can't say I've had any issues running the latest release.
Freelancer is 2003 Microsoft abandonware which still has an online mod community. Most prominent is probably the Discovery mod, which hosts a 24/7 RP server.
Not sure if it's still active, but Just Cause 2 Multiplayer added an insanely chaotic Multiplayer mode to an originally entirely singleplayer game
I have used a certain “online-fix me” (not sure if I’m allowed to promote) website that offers patches for games so you can connect to the official multiplayer servers.
Of course there’s a possibility of getting banned if they detect it, but I’ve played a lot of the Forza games online with this throughout the years without issue.
I realise it’s not strictly on topic for community run servers, but it may be of interest to people in this thread.
Stardew Valley Expanded, it gives us huge tracks of land to work and a metric fuckton of extra content.
Super mario 64 multiplayer! I have spent several hours in it with my bf. https://github.com/djoslin0/sm64ex-coop/
I play Phantasy Star Online on the original Xbox using Insignia (sometimes on the Dreamcast, too)
I played a bunch of PSO with the DreamPi. It's good fun!
GamesRanger is a pretty dope RTS client for a ton of RTS games. I use it for Battle for Middle Earth 2 to this day.
America's Army 2.5.0 with https://aao25.com/.
But since Insurgency Sandstorm got released, I mostly play that one.
I used to play burnout paradise vanity pack. Haven't gotten into it but it seems to be on a revival since players found an older unreleased (and unfinished) version of Big Surf Island
Me too! It was great. I saw that most resources disappeared, do you know if there is any ready made pack that can be download and installed and provides most of the vanity pack features? Modding community all moved to discord
I've spent more time than I'd like to admit playing EQ on Imperium.
- Plutonium (World at War, Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops 2)
- Alterware* (Modern Warfare 2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare)
- XLabs** (Modern Warfare 2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare)
- Boii** (Black Ops 3)
* Picked up where XLabs had to stop. ** Shut down via C&D letters.
Since Activison doesn't want to patch their older CoD games on PC community made clients are basically a must for those games. Not only are those adding patches against RCEs but also add a lot of customization, modability and dedicated servers. Some are even adding custom maps to it.
I also used to play Venice Unleased and Project Rome for BF3 and BC2.
There's Nitrox for Subnautica, but development seems to have stopped for now with no ETA on continuing. There are bugs and it's recommended to avoid certain building structures and riding in the Cyclops together. Still, it can be really fun
