WZ 2100 port to Space Empires 5

Post by MetalWarrior95 »

I got an idea, is it posible to port WZ2100 to SE5?

Because we could like make in game cutscenes or like launch a rockets and then we go tactical combat.
We give order to drone rocket to crash to the satelite and kaboom...just a quick idea!

SE 5 is an game...From Strategy First(publisher) and Malfador Machinations(developer of all Space Empires games)...

What does it cost? I am getting kinda bored.

I dont know how much costs a original copy/cd of Space Empires 5 but i know that you can buy it on steam and download it...
But you must have a credit card or ask some people to buy it as a gift and give it to you..."give" you pay the price of the game and aditional 25% of the game as a tip for him for helping you!

Back to the topic, SE5 has Space and Ground combat system so it will be posible but there are aditional features and its very modable...

Also dont be suprised if is a bit complicated but too me its fun and the music is great...

Licensing doesn't fit.
No way this will happen.

really? LICENSING is your main problem?

what about like the SPACE part of SE5? Theres generally no reason to port warzone to se5 because...... ah hell - warzone is land units... space empires is in space!

But i mean, It might be cool if se4 has the pretense of space ignored, and the tactical combat became tank wars... :p

Yes! By what others here say, that is a commercial game.
If that game has an open source engine which is under GPL compatible license, then it surely is possible, and I am sorry for my mistake.
Otherwise, there is NO WAY that will happen.

Ahh the problem is that you were referring to actual development in the space empires 5 engine.. I was thinking mere modding would be simply enough. Ill grant you that maintaining a engine is more reliable than a mod, merely because an engine can be changed.. a mod can only fake changes in the engine.

Right, well, I guess i was more worried about the game assets than the underlying medium.. which randomly raises a question:

How exactly would the developers even port something to another engine? Do they intend on taking the entire engine and work with that? what about if there is an existing development team for that engine? or.. work with the other group?(seems preposterous, you cant exactly expect two totally different teams to interact well)

Well, technically, if we redid a lot of the artwork, we could make a Warzone mod in another engine, since we'd have to redo all the coding anyway. But no, we're not going to do that. :P Feel free to do it yourself, of course.

Well we could call it Warzone 2150...50 years after first one...We find out that nexus is hiding somewhere...
The problem is that i dont know how to map in SE5 and i dont know to model or change codes...

it just an idea...
