Nomads and Coop campaign

[Gorton]

Now, it's possible to use other mods with the coop campaign, but with featured mods like nomads it's not possible, since you cannot activate it.
Several people wanted to know if it's possible to play the coop campaign with nomads, is it as simple as making the featured mod into a standard mod and using that?

Someday, it will be possible, but for now, I'm not sure these mods can be compatible, even if Nomads is uploaded as normal mod. I guess the coop campaign mod would have to be modified to allow another faction to be played.

But as I am not competent with these technical issues, better wait for Brute51's reply.

Nomads cannot be a "normal mod", it is too big and complex for that. For now there is no good way to do what you want and I'm not sure what is necessary to make Nomads usable in coop campaign. But I hope to make it possible some day.

Cookienoob knows how to make it possible and I am trying to set it up right now!

Which of the nomads stories are we using? Dogfather's? I'd like to know because I can make lego videos about each campaign, which could attract more people to play.

no, the story is a combination between a later version of dogfathers story and my story line, using the missions I planned for my version of the story with adapted dialogs and content.

The lore is still the same as it is in the document you liked.


To answer the OP question: yes its possible to play coop missions with nomads, I already wrote the necessary init file for that. More detailed instructions will be available when the first nomad mission will be released for beta testing. The client side implementation will follow at a later point.

So can you update the story document and have only the official version there? I do not want to make a video and then discover that the story changed.

There are 2 possible ways to make it work in the coop tab:
1) overwrite the init_coop.lua file with a custom init file and make it write protected
2) use speed2's hack mod (has the drawback that not-removing it after playing coop will desync other games)
