Is a Coop Mod in Warband possible?

[bekk]

Hi,

ofc i dont believe that there will be any coop mod in the original M&B because it would be pretty hard (already discussed in dozens of threads) BUT with the addon warband a skirmish multiplayermode will definetly come into the game.

So that means that there is a at least bigger chance to get a coop mode in Warband then in M&B Original? Or does this changes completly nothing and its still the same hard thing like it was without the warband multiplayermode?

I didnt believe that a community can make a coop into a singleplayergame but after the morrowind multiplayer coopmode i start to believe that M&B can get a coop mode too after warband is released. (Because they got a multyplayerplattform for that and a even better modding community then morrowind).
The morrowindcoopmode solved this problem with a npc companion who will be played by another player and there are npc companions too in m&b so thats why i have a small hope that with warband a coopmode can be done.

It's more likely(Assumptions here)  that Warband can allow a Coop multiplayer compared to Native. Taleworlds originally said that even a skirmish multiplayer wouldn't be plausible with M&B engine, but that was proved wrong. So who knows, we all might just get lucky.

I'm not a modder but if they did it for morrowind I dont see why the hell not. would be slick, even more so if you could be on enemy factions and remove the in game pause so its like playing a online RTS against each other.

Modding a single-player game into multiplayer is very very hard I think, but the TES community is just very large, so one or a few of them seemed to be skilled enough to make it. The chance of it happening with m&b is smaller, but with some luck, the community will become a lot larger once warbands comes out. But I don't think it will be created officially, and if it does, probably not within the first two years.

Oh my goodness YES! COOP mode in M&B! Just make it plausible by having a LAN hook up or something! Kinda like the multiplier mode but with a LAN capability!
It would make the game that much more exciting, cause you can actually share the battles with a friend! LOL have a person a lead hero and the other person as a companion traveling around!

I am not aware that anyone designed a coop mode for Morrowind.  I would be interested in that information.

someoen also did it for Oblivion right?

But yes it would be awesome. but keep in mind that you have to disable all ways of speeding up or slowing down/pausing the game since others want to play aswell. also a battle should then take real time, unless you only take one actual campaign character, and more playable battle characters.

i think we should make a difference in these 2 things:

1.) Playing the campaing with a friend coop still with just 1 lord and not 2. That lord will be controlled by player 1 not both.
In this squad there will be a npc character like rolf who will be controlled by player 2. So in fights both can play and fight for this squad but on the big map just 1 controls or both control the same lord.

2.) 2 Players play 2 Lords. Both can do whatever they want and do fights seperate from each other etc.


I think 1.) is possible and can be done like it was similar done in morrowind but 2.) seems to be quiet immposible and will need a lot more time.


So i hope we will see 1.) in warband developed by a modteam

so finally  after over 1 year exactly what i wrote is down in the mod "battletime"   Hands down for this great modder.

There you can play together and a friend can play a in your party companion  Just funny that this topic stil exists.
