Is this possible?

Note (Before You Read):

Before I begin, this is a large project I would be working on with multiple people. No, you are not invited as of yet. No, I do not want to hear feedback on if the things I am doing "suck." If you use the ideas yourself, please give some form of credit. I am posting merely to see if it is possible, not to hear about it taking forever. I just want to know if it is doable.

I want to start a private server that is fairly unique (I won't get into too much detail so I don't give away my ideas). I will be taking from ideas I have seen on other servers (no credit, sorry don't have it to give) and from ideas that I have thought of myself. If they are someone else's ideas, then we both thought of it on our own. Basically, is it possible to create things like this in WoW?

*A custom building that is a "dance" club with custom music, NPC's that dance and maybe have interactiveness (as to I can right click and choose options that are generic for them to answer to).

* A custom building for a mall. An actual indoor mall instead of outdoor NPC's just standing around.

* Custom NPC's for casino activities such as blackjack or a slot machine NPC.

* Custom Houses for players. Maybe have an instance created that never resets? Each player has his own instance ID. Can type it into an input box and teleport there. If he adds someone to his party/raid he can give them the ID and allow them to enter his "instance" of his house. Maybe take an island and make the entire island blocked off, then make it an instance. Is that possible?

* Custom Furniture/Decorations for the house. Maybe make a NPC have options to see like, couches/appliances (all custom items too) to place in the house with the help of a GM?

* Maze - making undergound portions using terrain editors, do underwater portions, challenge portions, etc. I am pretty sure its been done, just checking.

* Arenas - Place wagers, fight against your foes, rank up, and gain custom items/upgrades as well as NPC's to assist you in battle?


I know it would be a HELL of a project to take on, but I am curious if it is possible. I do not know the beginnings of how importing models works, but if I can take my Maya 2009 models and import those then it would be even easier. I do know about modeling, just not which program to use. Any help on this is VERY much appreciated.

ofc its possible, most of this stuff is already made. but some of it can be easy made. and others with work..

[Weiseguy]

Hmm, well that gives me a nice little smile, lol.

I was worried this was too much. It seemed a little hard for me, just reading thread titles with mild searching, to find what all I can do and what I need to do it. Anyone care to go into detail on what is needed for this?

Most of this is model/client editing with some scripting. You need to be very skilled to do this.

And all of your players would require a custom patch file everytime you changed something.

[Weiseguy]

The scripting I've looked at for WoW hasn't seemed too difficult. Modeling just takes time, the difficulty is just how much you want to do with the object in my experience.

Maybe someone could pm me on more details?

[Weiseguy]

Bump for some specifics on how to code this and import models.

For the patch, can't I just make a launcher/patcher?

Go to the model editing section for further questions on that stuff.

Well, this is the only subforum that allows questions I thought
