A Naval Idea

[saturnplanet]

Dear Mount and Blade Players,

A friend of mine and I have come up with a revolutionary idea for Mount and Blade Warband Napoleonic Wars (Please Don't Hate)
Introduction
Our idea is to add a brand new gamemode; Naval battle.
The mode will feature a map with Admin defined amount of ships and kind of ships(4th rate, 3rd rate, etc.) Each ship will be "Sailable/Moveable" like the rowboats already featured into the game. There will be two picked factions per battle; like a regular game. There will be several classes for the player to choose from for each faction. Depending on the type of ship, a certain amount of cannon shots into the hull will be able to sink the enemy ship, thus killing all of the players onboard.
Classes:
-Captain
-Officers
-Sailors
-Gunners
-Marines, etc.
Add us On steam: saturnplanet13, lort683. Or Pm me at this account.
Questions or comments are welcome!
What we need:
-Experienced or average coders.
-graphic artists(for signatures and art)
-3d Modelers
-Artist for textures
*If you want to help, but don't want to join the team, you can still help with any of the listed above.Some Art:

Thanks! make sure to get the word out to coders, etc!

If I had the abilities needed to make this idea a reality, I don't see why I would make it under the leadership of people who have no coding/modding knowledge at all. Nobody is going to make this mod for you. No offense, that's just the reality of modding. It's a good idea none the less, but is it possible? FSE themselves are creating a naval patch for NW but I recall them saying that the ships won't be movable because it isn't possible due to engine limitations(may be wrong about this).

The ships, will not be huge, due to the engine problem, but To a last resort we will create textures "Row boats" With swivel guns on them; slightly larger then an average boat.

I hate to tell you, but this isn't possible, even the slightest. You may as well lock this thread, and forget about the idea...

• The Warband engine is not made to handle moving ships. Everytime a large ship will move, the server will crash,
• The Warband engine is designed for small competitive play, not large naval warfare. Refer to above point, and
• Trying to get a mod team by saying, "I don't have modding experience, make this for me," will not in any way get you a mod team.

Nonetheless, I'd lvoe for you to prove me wrong, because I'd love for this to happen. But, it's 99.9999999% impossible.

Basically if you want to suggest ideas your in the wrong section, you should have posted this in the NW suggestions section.

It's not about the size of the ship, it's about the number of models used in a ship. A single model ship will have no trouble moving around. However, you will also want cannons on it and they consist of 6 parts. It would work a small amount of players though, but 200 players will cause insane lag.

Would one actually enjoy q naval battle of 200 as a whole, unorginased people, I think not.

I'm (I suppose) and average coder. I might help out on this if it's still going after I've finished the 4 other projects I'm working on...
Yeah, I sign myself up for way too much.
