Total Conversion possible? | Forums

[RaTzo]

Hey all, does anyone know if TCs will be possible with FarCry? Preorder page says SandBox will be included. HOwever is that just a geometry editor? IE models and maps or are we going to be able to create new modes of play?

Please post a link to any information you have thanks!

Between the Sandbox Editor and the LUA files, you can do pretty much anything you want to the game.

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
MSI K8T Neo
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
512MB Corsair PC3200 XMSC2PRO memory with activity LEDs
160GB HDD
RaidMax Scorpio case w/window and 10 80mm LED fans

The actual game editor is meant to be as much of a leap in thecnology as the game itself.

how do we get models in game though, Are they going to release the exporter for 3ds Max or/and Maya. Without them, TCs aren't really possible or at the very least, going to be very good. Heres hoping they release those tools. Also, I though I read somewhere they are going to release the sandbox editor before the retail game. Is this true.

I think the sandbox is mainly for map making ie terrain, object placing and mission setup.

But there have to be some kind of modelling.

And of course they have to release the plugins for Max and Maya.

ive just read in the new pczone benelux that they use some sort of lego blocks to build buildings in the sandbox editor.

I could be wrong, but I believe the homepage says CRYEDIT imports/exports 3ds and Maya, Sandbox and Cryedit are two different editors. If I am not mistaken, Cryedit is what you get when you purchase a commercial license. I think Jorgen is right, Sandbox is only used doing mapping. I hope I am wrong , but I don't think so.


On the Home page it says the buildings and objects can be imported from max and maya and it integrated into the editor.

This doesn't say if this is cryeditor or sandbox...Heres hoping it is sandbox.
