Mex Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Does anyone have any idea after the game is released if modding tools will be available? It would be nice to design a custom skin for some Imperial troops or create a map for you and your friends to have countless battles on. Sounds pretty cool eh? *Hopes that modding tools will be released* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 It's kind of silly wanting to edit a game that hasn't come out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to be prepared, Mike They probably will release modding tools, but LucasArts havent excactly been very good on allowing modding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Agree, you edit a game when it gets boring and repetitive to add a new zest to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. BF1942 devs will probably go mad. I doubt there'll be much editing flexibilty simply because this game is more aimed at thos annoying console gamers. Look at KOTOR and LOTR:ROTK. They were both console + PC games with very little modding ability. Even if there are mods, they'll be nothing like those of Jedi Outcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 JA has an immense editing community, though I don't see why you would do anything besides map making. Gameplay mods? Naah.. Models? naah, you got the different standard ones defining what class he is.. I can only see admin mods here, but if it's set up kinda like enemy territory with the voting theres no need to.. (team games are not at all like JA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOTOR has very little modding ability but if you look at Echonetwork.net you'll see that they have found two modifications out already. So anything is possible! ^-^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 And we must have ewoks in the army. No question. Mods for this game would be very fun, i.e. having KOTOR's sith enemies etc. Fun fun fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 I would like modding tools but I wouldn't like them to be allowed to create Jedi Mods. This would totally ruin the game and make it unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess really all that we would be able to mod is Ships and Player models if they do release anything.... making a world seems kinda hard, so I doubt that they will do that.

VanLingo Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Why mod? Sure, it's fun, but there will be downloadable content even for the consoles. Not much point in modding when they're already planning heavy patch and download support... -- Lingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 "Planning" doesn't mean "on schedule". Anyway, modding is fun. Why should people not mod it? Entertainment + learning experience. Can't get much better than that. Besides, have you seen some of the modder-made models in JO/JKA? Many are far better than the ones that come with the game.

VanLingo Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Sure, some mods look better, but they lag up the game, and you know it. I've modded plenty of times before. I used to mess around with the Jedi Knight games and the X-Wing line. I'm not saying it's not fun. But I'm saying that if you can make the game better, why don't you get inthe industry? -- Lingo P.S. -- Not a flame, just a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made mods for my own use (none I consider good enough to be released online), and I'm only 13. Modding is fun, it lets you put in what you think should be in the game. Also, its actually very hard for someone to leave their current job for a job in the industry. Some people do it in their free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Sure, some mods look better, but they lag up the game, and you know it. Only if they aren't made well - for example, a model without multiple LODs, in a game that supports it. I'm not saying it's not fun. But I'm saying that if you can make the game better, why don't you get inthe industry? Also, its actually very hard for someone to leave their current job for a job in the industry. Some people do it in their free time. As it happens, right now I'm a student, and cannot join the gaming industry at the moment. However, I'll probably try to at some point (although whether I'll get in is an open question, like Excelsion said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
