Making a mod that needs viking dlc style ship combat but also guns?

[Jamesol1]

Right so I'm looking into making a mod, put short will be set in a pirates of the Caribbean style world. I've seen the warhammer mod incorporate guns into a primarily warband mod. I was wondering If i could basically make a mod that would have guns/pirate factions and of course the British empire with the viking DLC style ship fighting.

Is this possible? Has someone already done something very similar (I haven't found anything yet)?

If anyone is interested in making this let me know. I'm really new to modding. A lot of the Fire and sword outfits/armors would actually fit into this.

you should check the Carribean! game (also created on the Warband engine)

http://store.steampowered.com/app/413710/Blood_and_Gold_Caribbean/

as it has ships fighting with cannons, sieging, ships attacking forts, etc.

if you still want to use the Warband / VC as a base instead you can start by checking the modding section.

Short answer: possible, but very hard to do (it will take many many hours of hard scripting work)

Cheers

Great thanks! And i saw that on steam but noticed very negative reviews.
EDIT: maybe i will give it a shot. IT is 15 pounds but if i play it for less than 2 hrs i can get a refund if i hate it.

that should not matter if what you want is assets for your mod, right?

watch some gameplay videos for Carribean! and decide if you like what they did or not

I, personally, liked the game (6/10), and used it to created one of my own mods. I played vanilla for ~20 hours, which was plenty (I bought it for 50+% off on a sales).

I was honestly looking at it just to play instead of making the mod. This mod idea is based on something I'd really like to play myself. I played it for a bit and i didn't like the ship combat. I much prefer vikings where you sail your ship on wavy waters and try to crash into them. Also the way enemies boarded my ship was buggy and weird as hell on blood and gold. The bit I believe i will struggle with is the scripting. I've never done it. It sounds like some sort of coding to me.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Visit the Forge subforum for all things modding (tutorials, help, etc)

Happy modding

Will do!
After re-reading what you told me:
''Short answer: possible, but very hard to do (it will take many many hours of hard scripting work)''

Due to me being a beginner and also time withstraints. I will likely go on that forum and ask others if they want to help me out and/or just make it themselves (and with me giving ideas alongside or something). I doubt anyone will be interested. If so i will dabble into scripting but I doubt it will be something i shall excel at.
