Playing Multiplayer Mods

[Noak]

I dont know if i'm missing something obvious but is it possible to play mods in multiplayer mode? It doesn't have to be online against strangers i just like to play with some slight configurations with a friend.

If it happens to be no way to load up mods on multiplayer can the lcal XML files be edited (by host or mabye by both players) to sucesfully "mod" mutiplayer?

hopefully there's just some way to turn on mods in mutli i'm missing

An upcoming patch will make hotseat exit to main menu. What that means is probably, by using GMR, save file can be loaded quickly without exit to the desktop. Although it is not the ultimate form for multiplayer mod, it at least gives something close to that. You can play several games at the same time, so each player has something to do during the waiting period.

that will be _awesome_. right now most of my gmr time is loading the game (over and over and over)

are you thinking for simultaneous multiplayer or hotseat? I don't know about simultaneous, but it's definitely possible to play mods through the GMR site in hotseat mode.

He meant the simultaneous one. Yes, if the patch comes, it will reduce loading time to at least 1/3, but the down side is I can't do other things when loading (I usually do toast, make coffee, house keeping or even laundry sometimes during loading )

I usually read the civfanatics forums/do work ... there'll still be the save-loading time though

Multiplayer with mod is possible, but we found out, it has to be limited to a SINGLE mod for one game. Otherwise you'll get CTD's or other sync missmatches.
As for GMR, there is low interest into mod games...but HERE you could find one searching for players.
