A question (or, maybe, a request XD)

Hi everybody. First of all, I'd like to thank you for all your mods and decks. I have one question. Does a mod, which enables to play free for all with a friend using one PC, exists? If not, is it possible to create one?
P.s. Sorry for a such stupid question. XD

If I understand you correctly you are talking about having 2+ live players playing a 2+ player free for all (FFA) match on a single computer without playing online. If that is the case then I can guarantee that without playing with all hands visible that it is impossible as then there would be no way to respond during another player's turn.
If you play with all hands visible then theoretically it is possible, but would more than likely require changes to menus and LOL files that we have not been able to successfully decompile. It is also possible that it would require executable changes to alter the engine which none of us have been able to accomplish as of yet.
The reason I say it is possible is because the engine already allows for co-op play on a single computer if one or more controllers are attached so theoretically a layout and scripting could be altered or created that could allow for FFA play in a similar fashion, but we currently lack the information and skills to allows us to complete such a mod. This lack of skills and information is evidenced by the lack of mods that fix engine bugs, add new features, or alter menu appearance and functionality.
One such example of a feature that many people would love to have changed would be the how the save profile will only save a fixed number of deck configurations instead of a variable number which could allow custom deck configurations to be saved. Another bug people would like to have fixed is the problem with land configurations for decks with more than 3 colours.

Yeah, you understood me right. Thank you for you quick answer. That's a pity, it's impossible right now. Well, maybe in some years... XD
