This is just an idea I had. I was thinking about how FF7 is being remade with Q-Gear and how it would be awesome to have the possibility to capture monsters and fight against other players. Has anyone ever made a mod that includes having a party of monsters?

Such a mod would require new locations, so a way to edit either the field (world map) or use an existing area and add a path somewhere by editing the background. It would also require a way to connect to the internet and a server. Anyone thinks it's a good idea?

i dont even know where to start with the impossibility of this
well, not TECHNICAL impossibility but it's not feasible

Lets start with this
New locations are ridiculously difficult to import and make. at best you can copy one field file over another like a debug room and use that. the walkmesh is complicated as sod too.
making the game send data to a server would require ENTIRELY new code. good luck with that lol
and capture monsters? even if you tried to do that something alike like chocobo capture, you would still need to store the monster and its values somewhere and so on.
and making them fight against others? jesus, everyone mods their game differently
what stops someone from hacking themselves a captured ruby weapon? or 10?

there are so many impossible things here that I pretty much guarantee you that this won't happen before what, 2014 or 2015 or something. realistically I'd say this will never ever happen.
 
What if the monster arena data was a separate one from the original for the monsters. And it would save to a different path and stuff. Kinda like a game built in the  game. And everyone who would play would have the same version of the battle arena add-on.
 
you were swimming in the lake of never going to happen and now you have taken the exit to the river of not in your lifetime.
this stuff is funny to speculate and dream about but I'm a pragmatist. I only think about things that are actually achievable
 
Anything is possible. It's all just data and files. There is a way for everything.
 
q-gears won't be complete for years and there is only so much you can do with the original engine and game
this, you can't do.
 
for someone that doesn't have a job
and about a year of patience
 
Honestly, I don't think it would take that long to do as a standalone game. Having it work with ff7 might be the only troublesome part.
 
The problem with all of these ideas is that the work needed to make them come true requires at least a team of three of the members of this forum to work together for at least six months of time. If we can all just work together, then count me in. If not, then I shall wait until I can find someone that will have a similar view about this.

An arena customized like this idea would be remarkable indeed.
 
Sounds like a challenge!

...for someone else maybe.

No-one is going to spend 2+ years of unpaid labour on someone else's fantasy. One that, as Kuugen points out in his first post, may have various mechanics problems anyway.

If you really want to think about this, I would suggest writing a design document that specifically details the battle mechanics, match making process and how well most FFVII monsters currently fit the purpose. This will give you ideas as to the exact work items required.

Well, it would.

The easiest way to do this would be to reverse engineer the heck out of the chocobo breed system, duplicate the farm, give some 'chocobos' different models, set a few custom variables to their stats that are called when you "summon" them ( with an item that you would have to make a new function for ) and thus deal damage
that's the closest you can get without absurdity.
Other than that, please forget about it and stick to your horses. That Gogo model looks gorgeous, you seem a talented modeller, so it would be a lot better for everyone if you stuck to that. I can't even imagine how awesome a 3D Kefka would be a secret super boss.
 
Well I like learning new stuff when there's a need, and if nobody already has experience for this kind of project, I might start looking into it. I'm gonna start learning unity for a game I wanna do with some friends, and since I'm a FF fan, I might get some general experience in game making with such a project. Nothing you learn is ever wasted, who cares about the money lol.

As for a kefka model, why didn't anyone think of getting a ripped model from Dissidia?
 
because this forum doesn't support ripping models from other games
in no way, shape or form
I personally think that's BS but I don't make the rules
 
It sounds like you're asking for an entirely new game. That would be faster than learning to re-write this one.
 
Fantasies are nice. Id like to see a moded legend of dragoon, or implement the combo system into ff7, or see armor change depending on ur equipment. All things that are too tedious for one person and probably a team to undertake. Unless YOU can turn this fantasy into something tangible it wont be taken serious
 
What would also be nice is to be able to equip shields and relics from FFVI
 
rename this topic to day dreams and have it moved to general discussion or completely unrelated
 
we should have a sub forum for this stuff
so we can move all the unrealistic things there
