Is There a Game with Advanced World Editor?
If you know Warcraft III, either Reign of Chaos or Frozen Throne, both game are most commonly known because of its Custom Games made by various creator using Warcraft III World Editor.

I wonder if there's any game that have this type of advanced World Editor with custom strings & scripts, that can alter the custom game to have complete 100% different genre or gameplay from the actual base game.

Some games that I found recently only have a built in Map Editor. Most of the other that have Workshop available only have custom models, custom maps, custom sounds, with no ability to alter the actual gameplay.

The only game that have the similar custom game feature to Warcraft III, is a FPS game by the name of Garry's Mod. But even Garry's Mod is not advanced enough since the custom games are still "First Person Shooter". And it doesn't even have a built in Editor like Warcraft III had.

Edit: What do I mean is, if you know Warcraft III, it's a RTS game right? With its World Editor you can have custom games with different genres, like making it to be FPS, RPG, AoS, TD, Racing, Maze, Turn Based, or even a Party Game Like Mario Party.

Unturned has a map creator that goes very in-depth.

Unturned Map Editor only alters the map, the actual gameplay is still zombie survival.

Actually, you can completely remove zombies in your map and make it 100% PvE / PvP. Or you can make the zombies one-shot players. There's loads you can do with them.
Make a map where you have to survive a helluva lot of zombies, like CoD Black Ops.

The altered gameplay still have connection with zombies, read my edit on first post for more explanation.

I guess there is no games with such complex World Editor.

Generally, games are built on engines. Those engines include (or are comptleted with) tools to facilitate the implemetnation of design into the engine requirement.

These tools typically include level/map editors, asset mangagement and conversion, some logic control (possibly by script interface and compilation for such).
The guts of the gameplay may be hardcoded tosome engines, but others may be entirely customiseable within the script base.

It's far quicker and easier to build games from these engines using these tools then building a game from scratch. It's also possible to tweak an engine to take advantage of later technological advancements or better implementations. As such, one engine can be used to source a number of products and the evolution of the engine itself keeps the games current.

Due to the increased complexity of most large games, and the unnecessary development tasks of re-coding shaders and core common methods which are optimised and relevant and really never going to change for any game, then it stands to good reason that games are built mostly on engines, since this is ultimately quicker and require less specialist codiing expertise. (or at least, that specialist coding expertise can be put to work on the aspects of the game that are key to the game itself, and not that which is generic) Overall, this means it's faster to get a product on shelf and so not only cheaper but allows for swifter turnaround.

SOME games are licensed with limited access to some engine tools. Some licenses contain the full toolset or the toolsets are available under separate license but available.

Pretty much always, though,. and especially with the greatest, most capable and most popualr engines, tehre is always an option to license the entire engine and tools.
These will contain everything necessary to create ANY type of game. The limit is really just down to your expertise and the effort you are willing to input.

I'm reminded of a "full-conversion" mod for the Aurora engine which essentially resembled Eve Online (admittedly with visual and playerbase disparity). The point being it exploited the potentials of the engine tools (which are freely available under license of the NWN1 game) to the full.


I would highly recommend licensing the Frostbite engine. You can see today already there's a huge variety of completely differnt game types created on this engine, and the potential for cross-platform and unified bases grant it a better oppotrunities for the future.

Uh. It has been a couple of years but Total Annihilation or Myth 2?

Starcraft 2, Dota 2, any UE4 games in theory.

Can I just repeat my answer every time someone says something silly?
