Looking to mod the game?

[fee-ona]

Hey crew!

In the next month we're looking to put out information regarding modding tools and lua scripts. Our next two dev diaries will delve into Phase One of modding for Empire of Sin.

At this time we're looking for folks who want to get involved with the current build, have a mess around and make some things?

If you're interested please contact us via DM on our Facebook [www.facebook.com] or Twitter . You can also pop over to our Discord [discord.gg]to our open Modding channel but to see all the good stuff please DM admin Feeona for details.

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about modding, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Cheers! 🍻

Can we customize our own boss? Crew? Faction, etc? Make our own missions?

Basically how close to the developer tools are the modding tools you plan to release?

As example if you look at what Xcom 2 or Elder Scrolls (Skyrim, etc.) gave to the community the modding tools are effectively what the developers used to build the actual games to the point where they can be used for a complete overhaul.

Are you adding workshop to the Steam community so that mods are easier to release directly through Steam?

So, mostly what you're asking we'll cover over the next two Dev Diaries, especially the second one. As they are not finalised I don't want to promise something and be incorrect about it. So if you're OK hanging on a bit longer we'll have that info for you soon. :)

I can confirm that yes, we're adding Steam Workshop support!

Hopefully you also provide tutorials, Dying Light did a series on theirs

Or find a youtuber willing to do it for you, Xcom 2 had a large enough community that some stepped up and made them

How easy-to-use will these modding tools be? While I do enjoy the idea of getting into modding, I'm not too familiar with Lua scripting. Either way, can't wait to see how it all turns out. :)
Also looking forward to (hopefully) try modding a new Racket eventually.

One of several "Wait that sounds cool but I don't know how to script in Lua. Are you planning to release videos and documentation with examples?

[Alice❤]

I hope there will be access to in-game scripts.

LUA is a fairly simple scripting language as far as syntax etc. I picked up doing some Minecraft mods a while back. There are several free quality tutorials online.

Defintely hyped about the mod tools release, my main interest at first would be editing the french translations and then if we could mod the UI that would be awesome. After that, creating new factions/bosses, items, and hopefully import custom 3D models for all of those?

尊敬的开发者，我是来自中国的一个玩家，因为我的英文很烂，所以这里就用中文说了。
这个游戏整体框架是不错的，但是里边的内容太少了，而且作为一个黑帮帝国，这里不应该仅仅有老大，干部，更应该有小兵，打手来完成当老大分身乏术时，应该完成的事情，比如帮派混战，不仅仅是老大干部在哪里冲锋在前，更应该有小兵四处巡逻，入侵对方地盘。
同时，作为一个黑帮游戏，不应该仅仅有非法生意，更应该有相应的合法生意来掩护低下生意，即每一个分区内的空余建筑应该有平民生意，用来掩护非法生意，同时这样可以更符合黑帮设定，比如征收保护费，维护邻里关系。
Dear developer, I'm a player from China. Because my English is poor, I say it in Chinese.

The overall framework of the game is good, but there is too little content in it. Moreover, as a gangster Empire, there should not only be bosses and cadres, but also small soldiers and thugs to complete what should be done when the boss is separated and lack of skills, such as gang scuffle, not only where the boss and cadres charge, but also small soldiers patrol around, Invade each other's territory.

At the same time, as a gangster game, there should not only be illegal business, but also corresponding legal business to cover low business, that is, the spare buildings in each district should have civilian business to cover illegal business. At the same time, this can be more in line with the gangster settings, such as collecting protection fees and maintaining neighborhood relations.

Just checked the workshop.... 12 mods.
Any group working on a full rework or is this game definitely dead and buried?
