Is it possible to have two main characters in C-RPG? Just to keep things more interesting.
Let's say I have two copies of M&B, but only one computer. Can I have a steam version and a non-steam version from Taleworlds.com? Will C-RPG recognize the accounts differently due to different serial numbers?
-
I got two copies of M&B, two main chars but only computer, too. I got 2 stamaccounts (both with 1 copy of M&B) to handle it and I never had any problems with it.
-
Yeah just don't try to be two different characters in strategus and exploit anything and you'll be ok.
-
You can do it on one account i believe, Just change your key in the registry key
-
Can someone explain this to a computer illiterate person? If I want to buy a second copy from Amazon, what do I need to do to keep the accounts seperate on one pc?

:), exactly what I was thinking, just bought a $10 copy from amazon yesterday so I could do the level 30 and try a bunch of fun builds without the grind.

You can change the warband key that's activated in your computer's registry.
EDIT: Since someone already said this I'll explain how in detailed steps.
1/ Press the Windows key+R, opening Run, type 'regedit' in the field.
2/ Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MountAndBladeWarbandKeys.
3/ Double click serial_key.
4/ Paste in the key you want to use, you can save your keys in a notepad file or whatever.

I exactly tryied this, changing key under "serial_key" Problem is: The printed key i recived with the CD is 5x 5 digits long, in steam he gives me a 4x 4 digits long "multiplayer key" After i start the game it automaticly changes the key back to the one steam gives me, what do i do wrong?
-
Can you also use just 2 different steam accounts and log off one account and use the other.
Would that work?

Yes, it would. Atleast if each account has a warband key.

Just to warn people before spending unnecessary money - we will probably forbid having 2 main chars via 2 cd keys

But we can still use a second CD key for the instant 30feature, right?
-
Probably, not yet decided, though

Gay.

wish I had an alt so I could insta 30 and try out any class I wanted :(
-
Two girls one nordic pot helmet
-
How about family(my bro for example)\girlfriend\boyfriend playing on the same computer? Only 1 char for all of us on strat?
-
Steam will automatically registry check and re-write your cd key.
You have to launch it non steam.
But like it is said, don't make it a main character. it is just to play around and test builds on.
-
Probably, not yet decided, though
So.. dont make your second 2nd key guy a main character when you skip to level 30 and were good?
-
It seems having more chars in strat is going to be an advantage hence the reason to forbid it.
And I know that those who use family relations for unbanning reasons etc. are generally not regarded as completely trust worthy.
You must however not forget that some people (myself most luckily not included) are forced to be several people on same computer.
Just keep it in mind, I am sure you'll figure out something reasonable.
Cheerios.
-
Yeh, the main character makes sense because of strategus and the marketplace, but if its not a main character it would be really nice to try out the level 30 feature and just play around with a lot of builds otherwise its just the long grind of getting all my alts from low level 20s to level 30.
-
I dont understand why you cant just use the skip to 30 feature on an alt so you dont have to buy a 2nd copy for that purpose especially seeing that it is sounding like you can only have 1 main character no matter how many cd keys you buy.Basically your 2nd copy your using it on is essentially an alt so I dont really see what limiting alts on that acccount is accomplishing other than making you buy a 2nd copy of the game. Maybe I am missing something though which wont be the 1st time.:)
P.S. as far as purchasing the game Amazon has M&B WB on sale for $10 I dont know how long it is on sale for though.
-
Has anyone done this successfully?
All I have seen is one person saying their CD key gets switched back by steam. Perphaps that is because they don.t have 2 steam accounts.
-
My brother and i play crpg but we both have bought mount and blade warband(2games) and we play on two different computers.
So are we allowed to play strategus with the same ip?
-
You are allowed to have more than one account from the same computer, but you can not make both of them your main character per chadz.
Anyways, Ive bought the amazon copy and downloaded a second instance of mount and blade. Its working with 2 accounts on my computer. Will write quick guide soon, it wasnt that easy.
-
OK I have working method for doing this. This method will require 2 installs of mount and blade on your computer. One Steam, one Non steam. It is possible to do with only one copy of mount and blade installed but it requires you purchase the 30 dollar version on steam instead of the 10 dollar version on Amazon.
1. Go to Amazon and buy the downloadable version of Mount and Blade: Warband
2. Download the Game.
3. Install The game
4. Go on the Amazon Website and get Your Product Key (there will be a link to obtain it at the post-download screen)
5. Save this Product Key in a notepad. This will be the only product key or information you will need to keep track of.
6. Open up the registry to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MountAndBladeWarbandKeys and edit the Product key by adding an A to the start of it.
7. Copy Your Crpg Folder from the Steam modules to the modules folder in program files (i.e. installing crpg for your other mount and blade copy)
8. Run the newly installed copy of mount and blade. It will ask you for a cd Key. Use the one from notepad.
9. Create a new character.
10. Log into a crpg server.
11. Log out of that crpg server.
12. Go to the website and sign in with the character you just created. (the password you use will be the starting password)
13. Type in that characters password for skip the fun. (DO NOT SELECT AS MAIN CHARACTER. Having 2 main characters is bannable because it gives you 2 strategus characters)
14. Place all your points now that you are level 30.
15. Enjoy playing with your new level 30.
SWITCHING ACCOUNTS:
To go from non-steam character to steam character, simply load up the steam version of mount and blade. It will change your CD key for you on startup.
To go from steam character to non steam character, open up the registry to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MountAndBladeWarbandKeys and edit the Product key by adding an A to the start of it. Then, run the non-steam copy of mount and blade. It will ask you for a cd Key. Use the one from notepad.

My friend stopped playing cRPG he gave me his acc.
But I don't need it so I make skip the fun with my friends serial.
Is that allowed?
-
And I only installed Warband once. So I only need to change to my friend's steam acc and start warband and I have his chars. So the serial number changes.
-
I'm using my 2nd key right now, I just bought the game from the store, made a second steam acc, and then installed it with my new cd key.
All I have to do is switch steam accounts, but I never use my old cd key anyway.
-
In my opinion, it should be possible to use skip the fun on characters flagged alts on the same account. All it does it keep players from getting bored with the main, and increase the life of the mod.
What the downside? I don't understand limiting this feature. You will always grind your main.

You will be able to play strat with your instant 30, that's why it's forbiden for now.

That's why for now you don't set it as main. :P

You wouldnt be able to play strat with a character flagged as an alt, that you skipped to 30 on for fun. There would still only be one main allowed.
-
So any official word on letting alts go to 30? That's why I started the thread in the first place to do exactly that.
The way I see it, we'll be seeing a lot less abuse in the long run if it is allowed before a lot of people get two steam accounts.

This is still it as of yesterday.
-
Please admins let developers know this! Please we are begging you. This game is so much fun but none likes to level. And it must be so easy to change settings. At least let us know that there is some work going on about this. Thanks. Maybe we need to make a poll or something?
-
maybe instead of this nonsence in duplicating mains etc, allow 1 test account linked to main to be eable to test builds(use the 30 lvl feautre) and use the stuff u got on ur main, limit it only to few servers so it woudnt not affect the game, ban it from strategus
-
A designated test account seem satisfactory

Makes perfect sense to me +1 sir.
-
If you have 2 steam copies of the game you just swich accounts. Steam automatically changes your CD key in the registry. to the one on the active account when the game starts up.
CRPG looks to that registry location to decide what account you are currently use.

@Everyone
Read other threads that chadz posted in. The only thing he cares about stopping is you from having 2 strategus characters. Having 2 level 30s is fine. Multiple admins and chadz have weighed in on this.
-
Yeah. Don't fuck with strategus. You get one main in strat/trading etc. Don't make your second CD key characters' into mains. They can be instant level 30s for testing builds and all, sure.
Common sense. Don't force them to make rules about it. I can guarantee they could check and ban multiple mains & cd keys if they are from the same mac address if they wanted to.

Excellent ^
Having 1 or 2 alt characters only servers, would be fun as shit using Mains selection of gear. Break up the grind a bit from the mains.
We have spoken! Get to work devs! :P
-
I don't know what I did wrong. I have two installed copies of warband. One is steam and one is not. Yesterday, I was able to create characters on the non-steam account and skipped the fun. Today, I tried it and all characters I make automatically seem to get combined with my main account even though I am using the non-steam account to create the characters in-game.
-
When you create a character the CD key has to be of the account you want it to be made on.
Solution now that you have messed up: Delete the character you made. Change the CD key and load up the amazon copy of mount and blade. Create your character and connect to a server. Log into the website with that character.
