Title: is it possible to create a sdk for games that don't have them?
Post by: snb on January 14, 2009, 11:02:06 pm: Is it possible to create a sdk for games that don't have them? Like Farcry 2 for example, or Spore.

Go and ask the publishers.

Post by: Paradox on January 15, 2009, 05:56:26 am: Well, farcry will. Spore, probably not.

Its an EA game. An EA maxis game. Most of their audience doesn't even know what SDK stands for.

Anyways, don't bother with Spore snb, if you're interested with Far Cry 2, work on that (Assuming you are interested in using the SDK).

The AI was fucking shocking, the missions were pretty much all the same and there was way too much fucking driving. Also the story was unimaginative and didn't justify calling the game "FarCry". Shame on you, Ubisoft, shame on you.

Map editor was fun to fiddle with however.

actually spore may not have a real sdk but people are modding it (maby just for code not actuall phys objects) and they have given people some things to work with. Ubisofts far cry 2 on the other hand has given nothing to us and has not said whether they will or not give a sdk, there are no published mods either. I really hope they both do, spore could become the best game ever if it indeed does get more modding support, and farcry 2 could become 10/10 worthy.

There is a mod that adds a breast-size slider.
