Why can't we make something similar with DW ?
There is no need to have a dynamic campaign that spans the whole world, concentrate on a specific theater, like a china vs taiwan scenario. With american and russian subs also. Something like that. We have a powerfull editor, and if I'm not mistaken there is also the possibilty to playback videos from the breifing screen (like in sub command) so why can't we do it ?  |
I've thought about to create a mission generator (external java tool) and even started coding. But it's a huge project for me alone (in my spare time), so I don't know, if it will ever be 'useful'.
Why creating a tool and don't use the editor? The editor is good but a generator has more possibilities like creating specific mission doctrine files, more randomization and automates tedious things like triggers to simulate message traffic and so on.
The next step could be a campaign generator (technically not a problem). But to be honest: I don't think, that this will be happen. I'd be happy to have a generator, which is more varied and sophisticated than the original quick mission generator.
