Question about the engine and what it can handle

[drakrochma 0]

Hi

I allready posted this, but I was told to post it here, so, here is my question:

I want to make a Game and I am looking for an engine.

It will be a post-nuclear RPG with some strategy.

You have to find a lot of friends and build your own base with research, conquer areas to get mere recources and then expand to build a new gouverment.

Atm I am looking for the engine.

So my question:

Can this engine handle Charakters with about 30 atributes and can i place new buildings or so while the player is in the area?

And at least, how much is the engine?

No you were told to post it in Addons and Mods: Discussion, wich is far from here.

I would instead advise you to look here: BI Studio Contact, and send an email to BIS with your questions.

And really, why didn't the moderator just move the thread if he wanted it somewhere else..

Not sure if you are refering to the OFP Engine or ArmA Engine but this is the better place for this type of discussion.

Moved

Thanks

A sort of stalker wihout creatures right?

I think that the engine can handle it, the rpg system would need scripting and the amount of work will depend on what kind of attributes you want to create (if you want to introduce staminia and/or precision, it would be difficult if not impossible, if you want to introduce things like reputation, it would be easier) and how you will perfom actions (talking, buying, sleeping etc).

Anyway it would represent a large amount of work, modeling everything, create the island, create rpg system.

yes the engine will more than cope with the scenario you describe.

i would like to help in your project too, if you have any ideas in more depth please feel free to pm me.

Hi, i think that the ArmA engine couldn't manage or serve to do a post nuclear RPG due to the nature of the ArmA and it's limits; you can't do a GURPS based play system, you couldn't even do a much less complex RPG like the Vampire, Werewolf, Ciberpunk or the Shadow Run. Let aside things like The Call of Cthulhu and we don't gonna even name the Lord Master because just the idea... makes me laught.

But will be pimp to have a post nuclear island and a number of addons of good quality based on some of those RPG's, the Ciberpunk have good weapons and vehicles books with lot of usefull info and a kind of blue prints that will perfectly serve for do addons; i think. Let's C ya

P.S: Rest in peace, James Brown (the R'n'S King) may God keep you in his mighty glory.
