Someone posted recently in this community about a The Days Before single player mod that may be developed and it made me wonder.

As servers for games are shutdown I occasionally see fan-run replacements but I'm curious about singleplayer and offline mods. It seems like more of a niche as not all multiplayer games would work as well without other players.

I tried SPT a few months ago (with additional mods) and it was enjoyable especially if you like tarkov. There's a mod which makes the maps connected, where different extractions lead to other maps. There's lots of things you can do to make the singleplayer experience better.

Although I've ended up playing the GAMMA modpack for STALKER Anomaly instead. It has what I look for in tarkov, and then some.

Single player tarkov, the mod that the RPS article is talking about

Thank you so much for this, I had no idea, I played this a lot as a kid.

np, NFS World probably bit niche side of NFS even though there was EA Black Box involvement on that game, while the original World has MTX nature, the emulated server deletes them and convert them into the same in game currency that you won from events.

I keeping tab on NFS Edge restoration (Project Verge) as I never played them (It was China only iirc) and it seems pretty fun if the MTX part are gone, hopefully they can manage to replicate the success like in SBRW to allow custom community server.

Did cs2 have offline mode? I remember playing cs1.6 against bot, it's quite fun.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it was called "Half-Life."

[–] tekila@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yes CS2 has an offline mode.

[–] Abucketofpuppies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It does, but no lab so far

Modders are almost finishing a private server for Dragon's Dogma Online, you can even host your own, enemy spawns were the newest breakthrough, but I couldn't take any quests.

Good thing is that there's a money cheat and every shop sells it's entire year stock, even collabs, christmas, etc. Anyway here's everything it does and how to get it.

That sounds wicked. Almost like it would be the preferable version for newcomers and hardcore fans alike. Even over the official servers if they are still up.

Escape from Tarkov has a very good single player mod called SPTAKI

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The article I linked with the post was about that. I still can't think of a lot of other examples though

[–] HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep sorry, just read the post didn't check the link

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago

No worries. It was a good recommendation

[–] vortexal@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

I know it's technically not a mod but most older versions of RuneScape can be played "offline" by creating a personal private server. Everything from RSC to HDScape can have private servers but I don't think I've seen private servers for RS3.

Local co-op games, or just strictly games that are multiplayer with an offline single player mode/main game story line?

[–] Master@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I wish the devs would just fuck off and let us coop against bots with progression or let mods do it.
