The MP Monitor stands for ''''Populous Multiplayer Monitor'''' which is a program created by [[User:TedTycoon|TedTycoon]] which allows you to view, the spells and follower counts of each player in a saved game, resync game or in memory.

==History==

The program was thought of after the Saved Game Modifier was shown. The program that allowed you to view:-

*Available Spells
*Charging Spells
*Shot Quantity of the Spells
*Charge Amount of the Spells
*Follower Count

For each player in a graphical view.

==Program==

The program opens resync games which are [[multiplayer]] saved games which are saved every 20 seconds. One the second version you could open the game in memory using the MP Sender. The next version then allowed you to see [[Guest Spell]]s and [[spell]]s that aren't normally available, but were obtained from [[Stone Head]]s.

==MP Sender==

This is packaged with the MP Monitor. It collects data from [[Populous]] in memory and sends it to the client MP Monitor. The MP Monitor must input the IP Address of the computer running the MP Sender. This allows you to see the MP Monitor on one computer while playing [[Populous]] on the other one. Using your own IP Address will allow you to use the MP Monitor on memory on the computer your playing on.

'''A Video Demonstration of using the MP Monitor can be found [http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x36b9j_populous-the-beginning-populous-mul_videogames here].'''

==Version 3.0==

In middle 2007 the MP Monitor was re-written due to the popularity. The monitor was written in .Net Framework and is a lot more stable than the previous versions. It also has a number of new features which include:

*See charge amount for spells not currently charging
*Memory Access (Software & Hardware)
*Number of [[Shaman]]s and [[Angel of Death|AODs]]
*Number of completed [[Hut|buildings]]
*Statistics (Same as when you press 'S' or space bar at the end of the level)
*Menu Bar like most common programs
*Chat Log

The sender was also updated which can now be minimized into the taskbar. A comming soon screenshot can be found [http://www.tedtycoon.co.uk/populous/images/mpmonitor3.0.png here].

This is the first level of [[Populous]]: The Beginning, which is normally played after the [[Tutorial]] is played. In the demo version of [[Populous]], it was also the first level. The rolling demo on the demo demonstrated playing the whole level and then winning.

==Starting Speech==

''"I have created my Reincarnation Site and the settlement is nearly complete. Now we must destroy the Dakini tribe!"''

==Setting==

You start off with two small houses on a small island, and the objective is to worship the [[Stone Head]] nearby and [[landbridge]] to the next island. There, you will worship the [[Vault of Knowledge]], giving you the Warrior Hut, and the other [[Stone Head]] which gives you single-shot [[Lightning]] spells.. Then a simple [[landbridge]] to the next island and an attack on the [[Dakini]] with your prizes and [[Warrior]]s will easily win the level.

'''Enemy tribes:''' [[Dakini]]

'''Worship Objects:'''

Note: This level is basic and simple. The [[Dakini]] [[Shaman]] does not have a [[Reincarnation Site]] and the [[Stone Head]] on your own island will sink into the ground once you are connected with the [[Dakini]] island.
