Mod tools?

[GUARDIAN]

Ive got a ton of ideas, and alot of knowledge and people at my disposal, do mod tools even exist for homefront or is it just........a dead end???

I'm not sure but I've seen people mod cryengine games before so maybe you can. Out off curiosity what kind of mod for this game would you make if you could?

If this got Modding Tools & I had Knowledge of Modding CryEngine Games I'd make a Bugfix Mod that fixes Alot of the Crashes and Issues that happen sometimes, and maybe make a Mod that adds some new things Gameplay-Wise.

Also I'd make a Mod that Replaces all the KPA Forces with Terminators.

The Terminator idea sounds amusing :D. As for bugs and crashes, I think the devs will probably do that themselves as they've been patching the game for months, Maybe another big patch will come out around the time when it's main expansion is released.

There is no official mod support. Mod support would require dumping the contents of the encrypted pak files and then finding a way to make the game load files from folders first instead of pak files. It's theoretically possible, but it would be complex. Level editing would also be borderline impossible because the .cry files will almost certainly be missing.

actually i was going to create a full pvp survival open world server, not entirely hard. ive ran servers before....RUST, minecraft, fo tactics, NWN, shouldnt be too difficult, actually waiting on a email from crytek before i can continue, as ill need some resources and .cfg files to access certain aspects of the games code. im actually quite serious about taking this on. I do have a indie game studio willing to back me up, if i get permission from crytek.

@MTL5 as for level editting, and pak files......its all pretty much the same as how bethesda used esp files for their games, or how the library files were used with spintires....just have to learn how the file directories work.

homefront is based on cryengine 4, and there are tools available to modify the game. just have to actually get into doing it, rather than talking about it.

[GUARDIAN]

i have found all the engines, sdk's, resources, assets, and server stuff to start the project, so if anyone is interested in helping...... I presented the idea to the indie studio, 2 guys like it, but the project manager thinks im full of crap.

[GUARDIAN]

nevermind......cryengine 4 and the sdk arent available......"damn you crytek, Damn you all to hell" - plant of the apes.

Supressors for rifles in single player would be top of my list, having a lot of fun online with these but devs cut them from single for whatever ret*rded reason.

I wouldn't mind a mode where you could play the campaign with one other friend as that would be a lot of fun!

[GUARDIAN]

theres a co op mode in the game........but i was hoping for faction fighting, rebels vs kpa. neverending war was the idea, pvp survival. all out chaos. but thanks to the tools i need to make it possible.... not being released, i cant even start to make any sort of changes. so the idea is out the window. However if someone could magically find the sdk and cryengine 4 and post a link id be grateful.

Yeah. If anyone can find them for him, help him. I want some cool mods!
