Co Op Idea

[MGStewart]

Hi i know alot people want like a multiplayer campaign but if that cant happen would it be possible. For a kind of multiplayer campaign where everyone who joins the campaign is in the same squad and the leader of the room does everything as single player and all the others in your squad just watch there can be trade menus where they switch ur armor and weapons and you confirm or something.. Theres a chat box so you can all talk about what your going to do. so you can all put forward ideas to attack a seige then the leaders goes over to there and your all in the battle.

it could be 2-64 players or something

Basicly would that kind of a co op campaign be possible or is it impossible. Because i know a campaign with online players versus each other wouldnt work as when you enter combat others would still be moving which is impossible ud have to be paused but people would soon get bored of that as it would take to long.

It was suggested thousands of times!

Ya i did'nt read the forum to check but is it possible though to do it that way.??

 

[Blobmania]

Aye, but now we're talking about polish people I thought i'd come back. Just watch your goddamn language when i'm sticking my neck out for you.

However, now we're getting back on topic, i'll diffuse through the floor to the next thread along.

This just happens to be the next thread along. Congratulations.

Uhmmmmm...

Honestly that idea HAS been suggested several times good sir, (MGStewart), however to accomplish that mighty task would require more than a months time of dedicated programming. It would be an large implementation to the game all in itself without any extra features. My assumption would be about 200-250mb+ just to incorporate the multi-player feature. This does NOT include all the bug testing that would be NEEDED to finish the beta.

Just to get you in the scheme of things, *APPROX* 2 months to get the alpha (alfa) or first version out, 1-2 months to beta test, from there, it is bug fixing and reporting for another good 2 months before the FINAL product is complete; and thats assuming native doesn't kick out any major changes during that nice long time period.

So even though the idea has been suggested several times, its a massive undertaking to shoulder. Perhaps after a few more months and with more dedicated modders and fans it can be attempted. Hell, I wouldn't mind throwing in a lot of my time to help front the project, but for the moment, I'll sit on my hands until a more opportune time.

My friend, Co-Op campaigns are now a reality. http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/board,178.0.html : This is the cRPG mod, where you make a persistant character that you customize how you see fit. The creator of cRPG recently added a game called Strategus. This is a real time map of Calradia where different cRPG clans and individuals vie for territory and fiefs. This is your co-op campaign. Get in, join a clan (or start one), and put your enemies to the sword!

Right, I was thinking about mentioning that but I didnt know that strategus was a client server side real-time co-op. That's pretty neat... I'll look more into it and see what its like. Thanks again,

PS: I am already on cRPG, just havent done strategus.

What about smaller co-ops, like a 2-6 player campaign, or is that impossible?

I think you're underestimating.

Underestimating what?
