Seven Kingdoms (Game of Thrones)

Modding
#47

No to Skyrim, Bannerlord, or any other game. A few reasons:

  1. Skyrim is modded to death, it’s an old game with entirely different mechanics. KC:D was chosen because it’s realistic, looks better, plays better, is built with newer technology, and comes from a supportive small studio with high responsiveness to the community.

  2. Your idea of what’s possible / not possible with modding seems to be based on a handful of forum threads, mostly by people that haven’t dug into the game data in any sort of detail (no offense – join the Discord server and simply compare the discussion quality and productivity there).

  3. Seven Kingdoms is an existing project with 2 years of successful releases for a different game (Total War series), one with a number of larger barriers to mod production. Good games attract good communities, and good communities navigate around these barriers with a little time and effort; for example the Attila community programmed many of its own tools instead of relying on AAA developers who’d rather crank out another title than support their base.

My suggestion is to download the CryEngine SDK and crack open the game data. Everything the project needs to be successful is within the realm of possibility.

I am honestly pretty excited to see your work play out. If you need a gameplay tester, hit me up!

Game of Thrones is an awesome universe, and mixed with KC:D, sounds like quite the dreamy game! I have full faith in you all.

I loved your mod in Attila, btw.

Have you been in touch with any WH employee recently and whats the level of their support?.
Yeah they must be working hard on fixing bugs but since you said they are vocal about modding community so you have any recent response from them?

#52

Just give it a little time, they’re busy fixing bugs and we’ll be informed when more information is available. The first priority when releasing a new game is to fix the bugs and major hiccups before focusing on modding. Most games usually release SDKs 6-12 months after the release, some even later than that.

So are we just to quit the game?

They are providing mod support in next patch…Does that mean they are going to release some tools as well?

really cant wait for this! After 2 game completions i still feel emmersed in the game but no doubt will get bored at some point. Really hope all lights are green for this and good luck :slight_smile:

We can only speculate. A few things we can probably expect:

  • Changes to data structure to better suit modding; for example a mod folder for installation so users don’t add zzz_modname.pak to the regular game data folder
  • Allowing users to change loading order
  • Tools of some sort. The game is made with hybrid CryEngine tools, some standard and some in-house (for example the dialogue editor is an in-house tool)

Adding custom models to the game (clothing, armor, items, etc.) isn’t possible without their exporter. We can hopefully expect something for this.

Thats a relief to hear

#57

Any idea about when the patch will be released?

#58

Hopefully you guys want to fix mounted combat too, because right now…yeah, not so much.

#59

…like being pulled from your horse when they are 4 horselengths behind you. Besides, it would be great to have actual horse body ARMOR w/ lances in the game :slight_smile:

I wonder wether this mod will be released as soon as the tools are out there (like first the armor sets etc. ) or if it will only be released once finished. (which would be a shame since I for one cant wait that long ;p )

An early look at some of the clothing and armor layers for House Tully:

Thats some hard work you are putting into it buddy.Adding these custom assets to game?it is possible without modding tools yet?

making these resources is done with modeling tools like 3ds or maya, they can then be loaded into cryengine. For this you dont neet any tools yet, to put them ingame allegedly you do, however i just saw a mod which added new armor to the game on the nexus, so apparently it is possible without tools as well. If this method is compatible with other mods, now thats a good question…

Only retexturing is possible now. KC:D uses a custom exporter , so we can’t bring custom assets (as in models + textures) until it’s released.

#67

What about this mod then? whereas it uses ingame assets, it does add a new set of armor. So the problem would be just to export the format of the models/textures. and it is only a matter of time before WH either releases the tools, or when someone makes their own…
