A.I. Predator - Could Illfonic allow us to mod the game?

I just want an A.I. Predator so bad and if Illfonic doesn’t create one, as someone who can use UE4 (at an amateur level but still) I would like to try my hand at creating one.

Lots of devs, both professional and amateur alike can use UE4 to some extent these days. We could put together an A.I. Predator ourselves.

It would honor the spirit of the first movie.

Game is not designed with modding in mind.

We thought we’d get good mods for Halo MCC too, modding on their custom UE engine is even less flexible than the older ones. Never happened, at most you can change lighting and swap weapons around. They’d need to slim it down so that you can only modify in game assets and data without being able to actually create a new game from scratch & that’s not happening.

Thank you for the answer. That’s good to know.

Nope - won’t work. I have moded shit out of this game already, but anti cheat + server side hosting dose not allow for ANY modifications what so ever, to be uploaded. Even a slightly different armour tint (where modified file has the same size!) will cause the whole pak archive to be rejected.

So, without official mod support and SDK, we will not change anything.

BTW - my response also loosely addresses claims that ppl are hacking and are using wall hacks, aim bots, goddamned radars and who knows what else – they are NOT… its bloody impossible

These days mods are hacking the hardware support to include things like realtime reflections, increased reflections, better lighting and shadows.

I’m not sure what the Resident Evil 3 remake Modders are using but they are the only thing I found to be note worthy in a similar regard. i’m not sure how they do it but I think it goes back to the olden days of modding, i can’t be sure if there is an application made for it or they are using the actual engine and replacing stuff.

Surely, I don’t think this game would benefit from it as we are already getting quality DLCs anyway and to saturate the community with wierd shit wouldnt do the game justice. Ppl really anticipate the dlcs…so i guess it would kind of ruin the experience.

I don’t own RE3 remake but all the mods for it that I see on youtube are pretty funny and entertaining to me.

RE3 remake is on my buy list anyway but the crazy mods are like added sugar for me, I’ll take them for sure.

Yeah, but to answer your OP, an AI PRedator would be dope! Just sadly we haven’t seen it yet.

How it transitions between tree tops and ground and long range weapon choices is a thing to tinker about. I wonder how random or how strategic it would be programmed and if the devs would allow us to program our private match with it.

The Predator capabilities is built like a moving fortress, right. So it literally would need to have a compitent AI to make use of everything it has available to it whether you see it(such as its use of vision mode) or not (audible).

Like he would need to have an actual head vision radius or cone of some sort. Imagine that stuff from MGS and AI cones? Yeah, that stuff needs to be on crack in this game.
