Hello! So im about to START modding cyberpunk, and have a few requests based off my experience modding Red Dead Redemption 2.
1: Full lua compatability.
Soley because its a simple language to grasp, which would open up the floodgates to anyone (how many kids modded roblox?!)
2: A comprehensive API with clean callbacks and documentation.
Yeah R&D is part of modding, but if yall could take the guesswork out of it, that alone would jumpstart the scene immediately. I mean look at how far FiveM has come, since their stuff was almost entirely unlocked.
now because i was working on this and im stuck. 2.example:
local x = getClosestWall(getPlayerLocation)
local y = distfrom(x,getPlayerLocation)
if y < 1 and ( getkeydown(Key.z) and getPlayerStamina() > 0 ) then
wallrunning = true
else
wallrunning = false
end
and then follow it up with a loop of while true, dont allow movement to move you from the wall, drain stamina.
3: Ability to host PRIVATE servers.
Akin to Ark/FiveM/RedM, where you have the standard release (Public servers hosted by the company,following strict rulesets), and privately owned ones with mod checks to ensure only the mods you have in that server's files are used.
4: youtube linkning natively.
Let me link video feed and/or links in an easy to understand way, into the game. Imagine custom ads, REAL WORLD, community created advertisements for ingame companies. Multiplayer, with a faction operating as Militech, creating and pumping out their own dystopian tinted advertising campaign. "Buy militech, or militech will buy you. YOUR future is in YOUR wallet"
I DREAM for a multiplayer scene on private servers, where we can have player run businesses, player operated gangs, Player MaxTac and police, the only AI to be seen being the marks walking the street or driving down the road. Netrunner players meeting up in ingame chatrooms, able to access the visuals of other players by hacking their kiroshi's, break into and assault the systems of corporations and have player run netwatch come for them, only to find they died, fried by the mates of whoever they were peeping through the shutters of.
And all of it created by the community, for the community. Copies of the game sold by the millions more so people can Roleplay their Ghost in the shell fantasies, their bladerunner fanfics made real. A deckard in every server, a puppet master in every chat room. Made possible because nothing was hidden, creativity wasnt stamped out by a lack of knowledge. The strings were there to pull, the API waiting.
Because dystopian futures are a great starting point, but iv staffed a fivem server for 4 years now, and the stuff yall make the corpos do to the protag pale in comparison to the creative ways the players will find to mangle, mess with and generally toy with the other players.
