Similar to the Character Creator - easily create any type of weapon, model it, texture it, animate it, set the way it is used and how it behaves.

Also, a more general Entity Creator - easily model any entity (static or dynamic), texture it and animate it, create all associated files automatically.

Plus, a Vehicle Creator - easily create any land, water or flying vehicle that can either by driven by the player or attack the player.

Although all would be useful, probably very hard to actually implement - though obviously do-able. A construction kit is simpler, because buildings are generally made up of similar components, windows etc.

If you had a gun creator, most parts of gun would only accurately fit the odd model?
Same applies for most vehicles, you can't pick a door thats the wrong shape.

As for a general Entity creator, is that not just any 3D-Software? I'm sure they could create something to easily model any entity, but when there are so many modelling packages around, if it was possible to be any easier it would probably have been already done. They are working on an importer which will do all the required associated files.

Maybe a weapon importer would be good so we could just model a weapon and then use a weapon importer tool to do everything else to make it reloaded ready, maybe even having different sets of hands that you could align to your model as such, basically so you could import one.x file and the texture and then the importer makes all the other files required



Oh and just a note weapon generators are possible to a point just see borderlands 2 for an example that generates weapons on the fly according to a predifined algorithm

I already requested the same idea before at this link:

I agreed with you, we better to have some sort of easy way to create weapons.

It would also be nice if they have creator that can make any building. Like shape, size, and windows, etc.

Thats definitely on the way, there is even a work in progress video on youtube about the building editor.

Hopefully we see some evidence in the future of a character, weapon and vehicle generator too.

That's what the CONKIT will be for. It hasn't be released yet though with Reloaded.



Also I should mention that I do not believe TGC is creating a modeling tool for Reloaded. Noticed a lot of the requests here in the thread were about modeling.
