Map Editor

[Jabba0156]

Are there any plans to be able to make maps?

[cbordeu]

Currently no... that would be very difficult technically.

I would really really really consider throwing out the editor and sources relatively soon, regardless if it works or not! The Unreal modding community is big and there are a lot smart people out there who could take away a lot of work and get the game functional for custom maps. Especially since you already started working on your next game.

Sad to say, a game with great modding potential was Monday Night Combat (also UE3). I have at least 260 hours into that but it starts to die out (hundreds of servers at first). Simply because they promised and editor which never came, which is a shame!

Just my 2 cents.

A Mapeditor and Modsupport would be F-Wording incredible!

I wouldn't really care too much for a map editor as much as I'd care for a GOOD set of modding tools (*cough cough Call of Duty Black Ops, Civilization 5 cough cough*)

In the Unreal world, the Editor is all you need for modding... and the non-obfuscated code could be handy :D Or at least some information about classnames so we can extend them (we don't necessarily need the code for that to work).

Wait a minute, did I miss something here :confused: ..... I thought it was a Source game :eek:

Cbordeu, did the Ace team ever consider putting sonic the hedgehog-equse 360 loops and the like in RoA?

I Understand you probably figured from a gameplay perspective and it being 3D it might not work out. Still, it seems like an interesting idea. I would actually be very interested to see any early art/gameplay ideas that were thrown around if you plan to make them public.

Jup, Rock of Ages is a UE3 game. AFAIK Zeno Clash was Source, right?

Yes, ZC was Source, this one is running Unreal 3.

I think you can compare making maps in Rock of Ages to Demigod, rather than creating the maps in a map editor they're handcrafted.
