qibbish Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Does Raven officially have plans to ever release the full SDK? If they haven't said one way or the other, is it standard practice for these games to release the full SDK? Most of the really cool mods I'd like to see done are hampered by the fact this isn't out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchouky Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 the single player SDK won 't be released but the MP will be . and soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garik Loran Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 It was nearly 2 months ago that the SDK should have been released soon. I know, sometimes I am a little impatient, but every day I am looking for the SDK, and every day I get disappointed. I like JK2, but I always buy games because I want to edit them. That does not mean that I am unhappy that I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garik Loran Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 The path to the dark side, faster it is, not stronger. Maybe that's why I like the dark side more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Cyros Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Sorry for asking this but what exactly does the SDK do? I mean what more would it allow people to add as mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchouky Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 well actually only the GDK is out : the gdk contains all the tools to create maps , models , skins .... so you can modify the apparence of the games but the SDK contains the source of the game . The source is the code of the game ! Actually all 'mods' which are out are not mods they are just additions or replacement for already existing aspect of the game! A real mod is when you modify the code to load your models and animations ... you can modify everything the rules of the game, the net code new weapons (and not new weapon models !) you can change and add force powers ....... So in fact there won t be ANY GOOD mod (or REAL mod) until the sdk is out that s why many programmers like me are waiting for the sdk release ! I hope i answered to your question .

Emperor Cyros Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Wow that sounds cool. Adding more weapons and force would be awesome. I read up on some stuff on force moves and some of the stuff in there would be cool. Like Force Death(bit extreme for MP but who cares), Hover, Warp Matter, Null Gravity, etc. Plus then Jango could have his guns without over-riding other ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonces Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Unfortunatly we're all at Lucas Arts mercy. They seem to be taking their time with it I'm trying to remember was a source code released for the origional JK? I remember beta testing a TC. (I think it was cald Mandalorian) kind of a ctf style with Jet Packs and some new weapons, was a really cool concept Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPiggott Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Why the hell don't they release the SP SDK as well though? Some people did brilliant things through editing the original JK SP.. it has much more potential than MP editing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchouky Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Yeah, I know I thought I'd be able to get it out after the movie and it's a week later now, but I still stick to my original idea to get it out by the end of the month. I didn't release it last week because there were some questions about which version of code to release. 1.02, 1.03 or 1.03a (as yet unreleased with recent fixes). 1.03a is the easiest to release but I don't want to cause any more grief or confusion. -James -----Original Message----- From: mbalch@free.fr [mailto:mbalch@free.fr] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 12:49 PM To: Monroe, James Subject: RE: SDK question plz answer ...(i'm sorry to annoy you but...) Ok last time i mailed you you answered me in may after the Episode 2 ! Well i saw it two times now and i m wondering where is this damn sdk ? i m pretty sure it s coming soon and you re working on it but a confirmation would be cool ... thanx about everything and the 1.03 patch is great ! It sure have made saber fighting more exciting ! I think we can expect it soon. (i really hope so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesentac Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 That's good to hear but I hope that the recent "problems" with 1.03 dont affect the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellerwinds Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 They have their money from purchase no need to rush the sdk which is incredibly foolish of them a game lasts 100 times longer and becomes far more popular when players start modding it its just common fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiletron Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Oh, without a doubt. I mean look at the game that practically started it all... Half-Life. Been out since 1998 and people are still doing mods for it. I personally even know the founder of the HL mod 'Immediate Action'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwatters Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 No single player SDK? WTF? Did they release a SP SDK for Elite Force? I hope this is just a rumor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jipe Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 Raven did not release a singleplayer SDK for Elite Force. Note that the Soldier of Fortune 2 SDK is out already, and this includes the game tools *and* the multiplayer SDK. Nothing "for sure" has been stated about the possibility of a singleplayer SDK for JK2, but it looks slim. I suppose we'll be stuck with icarus2, which is nice but not nearly flexible enough.

Pretty much the only games that get their source released are those based upon the Q3 engine. Most other games have a scripting language. JKO's supposed to have a scripting language, but we have no documentation to work with it. You're probably thinking of ManoWar. It went through two versions, I think, and was developed by JKMag (the BFP people). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
