Multiplayer/Singleplayer Mix

[Zipbob]

Hello there, first post here =)

I have been mapping for Source for fun for a little while, and just felt like starting to work on a mod... just to see what madness I can create! As I'm currently in the stage of working out what this mod will be like/about, the idea of a singleplayer/multiplayer hyrid (not original, I know) came to mind. As in... for example if it were a game like an RPG where one could play in a multiplayer field doing the trade and communication style thing and then go off into private single player zones/levels/missions.
Well, to the obvious question, is it possible at all to do something like this under the Source engine?

Many thanks for any help =)

If the online parts were in dialogs that connected to the internet, while the game itself didn't, it could work, I'm pretty sure.

You think it'd be possible?
Would you be able to elaborate on it a little or refer me to any resources?
Thanks =)

I'm not a coder, sadly, so i won't be able to help you further.

There are three ways from here.

1) Post a thread in the Coding forum here, hopefully someone will take the time to help you.

[2) Hire a coder to do it for you. You can find people in the Help Wanted/ Offered forum.

3) Learn C++.
