Kothar i didn't quite read your whole post, but I think I got the gist of it. You want to create a mod (doesnt matter what for) that will transport players between maps, like happens in the SP game. There are two projects that I know of that are currently trying to acheive this and probably many more that I don't know about. And why not? Its a good idea.

ShadowRunner, please don't put DXMS their like it is a clan. This would only lead to confusion and people thinking that DXMS is a clan when it is NOT. Just to clear that up. Also I am currently engaged in a sepperate mapping project aswell as my GCSE exams being only two weeks away. I think I will be a bit busy over the next few months.
Back to topic, I think transporting between maps in MP can work. I'm not too sure what is needed (if you need multiple servers or just one). From what i have gatherd some people think they can do it.

Telling a bot what to do is very easy.
Just add a pawn>scripted pwn> human>choose your NPC.
Then right click on your NPC and properties come up.
Choose the inventory, alliances and attitudes and also fears and reactions and basically you have your character set up.
I have a Jock and Maggie which are invincible, aim for your head and hate each other...lol great practice bots. Maggie will chop you in half with a DTS when you run out of ammo too...

I see what you mean ok...when I said help, I meant really discuss the issues in the forums like you do lalready, I was just listing ppl I know who readily offer help to other mappers...but sure np. DXMS ISNT A CLAN PPL

It is only for SP. The linking maps and teleporting can be found when you enter or leave a map on any SP level. Edit the SP game maps to get an idea of how it works.

Teleporters work in mp. They can travel the player to another server. Open up a teleporter's properties, extend 'Teleporter' and for URL type the IP for the server it leads to. For example: DeusEx://71.245.189.82:7790.
That's it. I started a mod with [NSF]Ninja using this method a long time ago. Never got off to a good start. In my mod NEOCRON, we weren't using this. That mod is dead now also.

I think Vodun, you are Kothar's new best friend...How interesting...
And great to see you on FGS forums, I hope you are here to stay (in FGS) hehe...the FGS application thread is at the top of the page in case you can't find it.(well Icho is on holiday...and "go easy on Toss, he's just a noob")
Vodun's maps rock in case you didn't know already...
well this is just my opinion, go easy on me I'm just a noob too...
How interesting...if the maps are dl'd already this will work? I heard Area 51 and Denver Airport and Norad are connected by monorail, I could see a scenario like this, or various parts of the world being connected. You have to visit and fight in one city to gain an item, necessary to win the game in the next city...
Like DX...free-roaming, the choice is yours where to visit first etc...it's gonna be tough but if any could pull off a MP/SP project it is FGS now, with so many great mappers, including my glorious self...
