Kotor 2 Server?


Recommended Posts

Ok I was looking throught my kotor directory and I came across a notepad called swplayer, once you open it at the bottom you will see

 

[server Options]

Game Type=0

Server Name=Server

Max Players=16

 

[server Options]

Server Name=Server

 

[server Options]

Game Type=0

 

So does this mean Kotor 2 is multiplayer?

The Odyssey Engine used in KotOR 1 and KotOR 2 is based on the Aurora Engine used in Neverwinter Nights which has an extensive online capability. This is a remnant of the Aurora Engine that was not used or fully taken out due to the functionality of the engine itself. It is designed to be an offline game with the computer acting as both server and client for itself.

I guess the only concrete answer would be for a dev to come on here and say something about it. :blink:

I think Judge Hades's answer was concrete enough. That is, if you understand basic English.

 

Edit: No, you can't mod multiplayer to this game; there just isn't enough to work with.

I think the only people who know "for sure" are the developers, and they've not posted on the boards in a good long time. You could try to track down one of their emails from the main site and contact them with the question, but I'm inclined to believe what Hades stated.

 

The game was built up from Neverwinter Nights' engine, which does indeed support multiplayer mode, but this game & K1 were both intended solely as single-player (as stated in all the developer journals and such I read while waiting for the games to come out).

I have a mental image of sixteen people running around trying  to force choke each other at the same time.

 

Play Jedi Knight multiplayer and you're there.

 

ROFL too true too true

 

but if kotor was online what would it be like? everyone flying around in ebon hawks lol all tavelling to the same 4 or 5 planets trying to find a star map? well there is a kotor online.... but its called star wars galaxies <_<

 

but imagine a kotor online... it would be pretty cool conversing with one another...being sith lords.. jedi knights ahh..all you can do is just dream about it i suppose

I think the main form of multiplayer a KotOR style game would have to be over LAN (or multiple controllers) - ie, where people would easily play at the same time, in a single player co-op situation. As mentioned Multiplayer fighting is covered by SW BattleFront and Jedi Knight series.

Have you even played BG?

 

Oh, and I am not talking about Baldur's Gate: Dark POS Alliance and its sequel. I am talking about the Original Baldur's Gate, one of the best CRPGs ever made. If not, then you are nothing but a newb.

No, they're probably just some old files...

I played BG Dark Alliance and wasn't all that impressed. It was on PS. What one are you talking about?
