Let's see...
Im baffled.... amazed really... how can you lose track of a conversation this fast?
Let me help you...
You stated first that dice havent done any mod tools for battlefield games, ok.
I corrected you and explained that, yes, they have. They made mod tools for bf42 for bfv and for bf2, ok.
Then you make a little list of community made tools?.... like... what does that have to do with anything?
I never said the community never done any tools, they made a bunch of tools, some even very useful. that doesnt change the fact that dice did their own mod tools....
really, lol... they made all their own editors (despite what deluded modders say) they also were kind enough to release all the needed apps and tools for bf42 modding in the "Mod Development Toolkit 2.75" where modders could extract rfa files, use 3Dsmax, tweak menu's etc etc.... a very nice pack back in the days.
It's funny you enter in to a discussion about mod tools with me
Ive spent the last 9 years modding battlefield games, using every single tool and application there is, perhaps not really wise of you. I know some modders come dragging with some old crap about some dude making a tool and then get hired by dice a million years ago and yarda yarda, but that was just a small part of it.. designing and making an Editor requires a team, you need programmers, artists, designers.. just like when making a game, and fact is; EA/DICE
made and
released their tools, not the community. The end.
