What is the most easily moddable MMORPG (in terms of 3D models, mapping, texturing)?
Obviously one that has private servers available for it as well.
Rose Online looks easy to edit the models. No public mapping tools are out tho.
P.S. Does WoW have model editors / mapping tools? All I could find were viewers.
I would say Rose Online???
Flyff's server files (source) and Beast (Map editor) are released. And textures aren't that hard to make too ;)
either flyff or Rose online
I was coming to say this. There are official tools released for pretty much everything and the source is available for the server itself.Originally Posted by Error 404
Rose Online is another easily editable game.
Check out KalOnline, game been so modded to hell with dll's and whatnot.
Even though a lot is private or u gotta pay for the dll's...
You can make new weapons etc though pretty easily and stuff like that and just add ingame and let your players use.
New areas, new maps, new monsters, erm well, a LOT in my eyes from working on other mmorpg's it's easily the one I have seen the most modded.
Sometimes people mod their server to the point where you can't barely consider it the same game.
Legend of Mir.
Open source
map editors
complete control.
Flyff or Ragnarok would most likely be the easiest.
Flyff due to the source code is released and has a beast map editor.
Rangarok due to the game is almost 100% server side and has a beast map editor also.
Anyway with rose online, last I checked there is no public tool that can create new models from scratch without problems. You always have to use another existing model.

Ryzom the only commercial open source mmorpg
Ragnarok is not almost 100% server side, its 50/50 if you actually know anything about ragnarok online hosting server on your own you would know that, but ragnarok is probably the most custom since you can edit/make maps,sprites,scripts,textures,classes and more to it... so i vouche for RO being the most moddable.
90% of Flyff's official source is released. There is no "most moddable mmo", they all can be completely modified without source or official binaries, the question is...which is the easiest? I would say Flyff or Mir, maybe Iris.
I know a lot about hosting a ragnarok server since that was the game that I first starting working on. I've hosted 3 servers, been co-admin of 2, and dev on 2-3. When I say almost 100% server side I'm talking about NPC's, quests, item's and most of the stuff.
On the client, yeah you have to work on the client also but its not as much as the server. If your adding new items, yeah you have to add/make the sprites and put them on the client, yeah you have to edit text files and yes the maps you make also go client side.
All in all, most of the stuff you would do when your a beginner would be on the server.
F.Y.I. I really didn't want to have to go into more detail on that subject, that's why I said what I said in my last post.
Easiest files to mod are ragnarok files. They really did a good job on the emulator.
I think the most moddable MMO is Flyff caus' you can Make own Moddels, Mapps, Effects, NPC's, and of corse animations. You have 95% of the official Dev programms and you can mod the interface too! :D
3 months old thread~ Tho this is nice to know, wouldn't have tought of this myself, fun to mess with =P So ty? haha.
