Multiplayer Mod Team Recruitment

[Swadius 2.0]

It's  a long shot, but at worst it'll fail.

In the given situation, that's like saying at worst we'll just die in the middle of a parachuting.

Speaking of highlander, hardcode and fujiwara: Have they worked on M&B Multi themselves, or are they just overall modding deities?

Deities more likely, there's also Yoshiboy and Mirithei. Though Yoshiboy is currently working on a different game, and Mirithei comes and goes like a ghost. Though the ghost brings miracles.


Perhaps this pic will symbolize the situation of this thread well.

Ok, now my curiosity is piqued. Hardcode is a good modder, but I have difficulty keeping up with everyone's work. What exactly has he done that deserves the name of modding deity? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Dindi]

Shouldn't Highelf and Maw be on that list?

 

[grailknighthero]

It was just a random list.  Yoshiboy should be on that list as well.  From what I understand, Hardcode and fujiwara are actual programmers, or studying computer science (and I believe Yoshi is as well).  I am studying computer science as well, but, I am not even close to them in skill (from what I can perceive) and because I am also concentrating in areas that have nothing to do with computer science, I cannot specialize like someone who is only concentrating on computer science.  Fujiwara has done some pretty cool/complex things with M&B and has a lot of experience with M&B.  The oblivion guy would be coming in with no knowledge of M&B and how the engine runs.  On another note, Hardcode is right in this quote:

You're ****tin' me, right? You asked for the source code of the program that is feeding his family and supporting his business and employees? Just ... quit. PHAIL.

Fisheye, you are a legend in my mind.

I think anyone who has ever played this game thinks "WOW! How amazing would this game be if it had multi-player." This matter has been brought up several times on this forum and nothing substantial has been done to move this game towards the PvP domain. Well it is time to start.

I am starting a team of modders, coders and testers to begin a project that will bring this beautiful single player game to the next level.

Why make Mount & Blade multi-player?
1. To bring more people to this great game and in turn thank Tale Worlds for their work.
2. Bring a new aspect to the game and therefore increase playability.
3. Meet and Beat other M&B players across the world in good fun.

The initial plan is to bring the combat of aspect of M&B Native online having arena matches and skirmishes on a dedicated server. Allowing for 1v1 duels with or without a retinue, commanders fighting it out on the field with a unit to an all out brawl in the arena or full out battle with multiple commanders and armies on a grassy plain. It is completely possible and there is no reason it shouldn't come to fruition.

There are obstacles that must be overcome to have M&B be PvP capable including coding, servers and of course balance. The first step is to modify the client so that it is able to connect to a dedicated server. Next purchase/find a dedicated server that will be donation based. Third create an online program that will allow players to synchronize. Fourth test, test, test the game system and network so that players will have fun. Finally release.

What we are looking for: dedicated and hard workers
Modders - Knowledge of the client and preferably experience in other mods.
Coders - Understanding of program languages, ability to create clean and concise programs and networking.
Testers -  Extensive experience with playing the game, and willingness to play test a lot.

If you are interested please message me or reply with the position(s) you would like to fill with why you would like to join and your past experience in the position.

i got this game for christmas but have been playing it for like 10 hours each day and i have explored mostly, i would like to be a tester.

Hardcoded, thus illegal to do.

 

[janlulhannes]

True. Maybe if you could use an external program to save certain types of data (player position, health, etc) into a single file on the server, then have the various accounts access it...?

That still might have lag problems, but at least it would be a teensy step towards connecting two computers.

that, might acutally be a good idea.
just send/import those "savegames" every ingame day or so.

it would not be realtime fighting but its a nice step forward, although you do need a way to prevent cheating

 

[Cloud Breaker]

that, might acutally be a good idea.

It's a very lame idea.

I don't want to share my character with anyone, ever.

It's not even a nice step forward. It'll be a waste of good time, time better spent for something else.

No wai! Pics or it didn't happen .

 

[Kolba]

Pictures will come soon.

 

[Weren]

oh god

 

[FleshyStarfish]

Pictures will come soon.

I would like to see this happen.  I have suggested it many times, however, I have my doubts that anyone has actually made the kind of multiplayer that I would like to play.  I don't want a WoW style where there are 10 million playing at once.  I want to connect with a limited number of friends and spend hours destroying each other and the computer.

So, if you have something working, what is the current setup of this?  Quick battles only?  Arena battles only?  Anything would be better than nothing...

there wont be any MP mod, only a turnbased mod would be possible.
but IF this guy actually manages to make one i'd love him for it

*points and laughs*

 

[vadermath]

I expected more from you, Dain.

 

[Kolba]

No, that was joke guys. Everyone know that multiplayer mod is not possible.

 

[Dain Ironfoot]

I expected more from you, Dain.

*points and laughs even more*

Are you under the delusion your opinion matters to me?

 

[vadermath]

I knew it was a joke, but I expected a more elaborate insult from Dain.

 

[Kiado]

Beyond the fact that it can't be done with the game itself, would a turn-based version of Mount & Blade really be any good?
