Gian Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hello I can seen thta allot of new features have been introduced. I just want to check if we will also have a mission builder included for added replayability. Sorry if this has been asked before, just double checking. Thanks, Gian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichenberg Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 So far we will not get a mission builder on the initial release. But everybody will be able to edit the xml-files by hand to change forces, setup etc. IIRC Madmatt said that they are evaluating right now if a mission builder tool can be in the first release, but they are are not sure yet. So I assume that will be a NO. 3 scenarios come up on that: 1) 1Cs and battlefronts misison builder will be in the final release. 2) The final release comes out without a mission builder included, but it takes 10 days max until somebody from the community comes up with an xml-file editing tool. 3) We will get a mission builder from 1C/Battlefront with a patch. Whatever happens, I assume shortly after the inital release everybody will be able to make new scenarios. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowsknone Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Yeah most of the time games don't come out with a mission editor, they wait several months and release a insanely large patch that create more bugs than needed fixing, and a highly incomplete SDK set that goes through 2 more patches and only sees minor bug fixes... Then after that, a new game goes into development and the SDK for this game is dropped (officially) and is left for somone to finish it or make a 3rd party editor... I'm not saying that will happen with this game, just the fact 70% of the RTS games I own went through a similar process, abou 10% not even getting a official SDK. Theres 15% that come with one, but are highly non-user friendly that has no read-me. Another 5% that are dropped after release, and don't see a patch for over a year... Even then it contains nothing special... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreu Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 The only game I played continously during the last couple of years was Operation Flashpoint, partly because of it's editing capabilities. The game is actually the reason why I learned how to do 3d-modells, textures and config/script-stuff. How editable will the Theatre of War engine be?. Will it be easy to change and add modells. How much of the game is hardcoded? Is there a chance the developpers may release tools to import and export game files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowsknone Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Yeah OFP was a great game... Even tough its graphics were a little dated, it was one of the best military sims ever... You could creat skirmishes, and ambush patrols in the dark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
