can i make wow with UDK engine

[schlumpf]

That's why I hate most rich and most skilled people.

Rather, only the dumbfucks come up with stupid ideas no semi skilled one would ever think of.

[Hmmm]

Since you use another engine and NOT copy the entire game IDENTICAL on it is perfectly legal. All you have to do is retexture ALL of the game terrains, characters, everything, rename spells and some change them a bit like icons and colors etc because ALL of these are propriety of Blizzard.
My advice is to rename locations, remodel the world maps in a realistic look, remodel characters in a realistic looks, entire armors, weapons , mounts, pets, NPCs, mobs etc then repack them in a new game.
There are also "world of Lordcraft" game wich copy pasted all names locations and characters, loads of wow clones that used even same engine and nothing happened.
If you want your dream comes true just recreeate wow game usning UDK  but entirely change graphics and maps in realistic style ultra polished graphics and that will be ANOTHER game. Don't make any character look exactly like wow's characters, NPCs and mobs. Do that with terrain buildings and objects too and that is. You can keep character animations, spells since they are used in thousands game too.

I think, there a lots of people, wanting to share their work - but not those, who actually are skilled and trained.

Enough said.

It's like the fact, that less rich people want to share their money, instead of semi-poor people.


That's why I hate most rich and most skilled people.

You hate skilled people because they don't feed you with content? You hate rich people because they don't feed you with money?


Here is a nice note.. Everyone worked hard to earn what they've achieved, Just because you're rich, or skilled.. Doesn't mean you're an asshole for not sharing.. It's such bullshit when poor people are raging that rich people doesn't feed them with money.. Socialism is such bullshit, when it comes to "everyone must share" .. It's not like poor people.. Or people who're terrible, are sharing anything of use.. except for the hatred they have when they are not spoonfed.

[Hmmm]

Excuse me, what are we talking about here? Retexturing and trying remake sort of wow on UDK or  about ritch and skilled people?
Seriously...

[Zim4ik]

actually, udk - it's pack of tools for editing unreal 3 engine.

[Hmmm]

I digged on internet and i found these movies about some wow and UDK...superb results:



even some gameplay testing:



also i found something about the meshes used on cinematics, i think they can be supported in UDK verry well aswell:



someone with enough skills in 3ds max can easyly make them i think.

@Hmmm: Those videos are from World of Whorecraft, aren't they? *g*
It's kinda funny and poor, that most motivation seems to be found in porn, etc.

Those guys are skilled (as far as i can see it) and just used very few parts from wow. Most models are changed, they have a lot of custom animations, etc, etc.

Finally I think, you can use the "style" of wow, but there have to be redone so much, that it's like making a new game. I would understand this wish of keeping the WoW-World, just making it look better, but if you change names, locations, etc. it's not the WoW-World so... I don't get it at all.

btw. I don't know if anyone already said it: the udk-engine is only for singleplayer free. The shown game is also just singleplayer. For the network-things you have to spend a lot of money.

I heard the netcode was expensive.. but I know so little about programming that I can't even comprehend starting with java.. just saying.

Nude wow, that's crazy lol:)) Howevery, i tought it was about making and RPGmmo with same gameplay and stuff and your link proves that is verry possible making it in a way more polished graphics and styles without blizzard can claim anything.
Threre are also some mmos that runs on unreal engine with same gameplay, same controls and almost same interface as wow has. Check Priston Tale 2, verry similar as wow, the difference are just characters ,the world and ofc the graphics styles and graphics. It was also Elligium, more appropiate but it was shutted down because they launched tera and all players were transfered there.

Dont forget, this are not all just hobby scripters like notch.

[Steff]

Yes but a MMO is the biggest thing you can code. And the most good developers dont even take you seriouse if you ask in this way. Its not possible and start wih tetris is the answer

In basic the are right and ther are so many dreamers that just start and never ger something done. And if the get something working then where to get content for it.

A started in 2007 the try to make the for me only working thing. A mmo Framework wher you could (like with wow modding) creat your mmo only with scripting and content creations. It should include the server component for login, realms, reagion balancer, update server to deliver updates in the background during play. The client and a editor framework where you can creat and import all the stuff you need. Interface, game logic, game environment and so on.

This is much work and will not be possible to get done by one (perhaps if he is very skilled and have much time and unsopable motivation). And to get a good team running the people out there wont start if you have nothing to show. And i think such a project mus be planed god from start to get it fit in all parts.

In the end it should be like the wow environment but with good editors and not so much chained to the wow game logic.

[Hmmm]

coping entire interface, terrains, objects, mechanics, characters, mobs, Npcs, etc, practically entire game as it is and then remodeling terrain, characters NPCs, etc with another more polished styles and graphics can be indeed a huge work but it works with some code modifications.
