Hello Community of Silkroad Server's

Well i'm thinking of trying a project based on silkroad and its system because it is very interesting no wonder the game is over 15 years online ... in the end.

The project will be done by the engine of the famous "Epic Games - Unreal Engine" I already have a basic knowledge about the engine, but I am not good with 3D models such as those that exist in Silkroad I wanted to know if anyone wants to be part of trying- we can make a Silkroad project practically a copy with improvements and bug removal and also with exceptional graphics, because the engine currently has this potential, even if no one wants to help / be part of it, I will do the project to rebuild cities I will start with Constantinople until pq is one of the most beautiful cities in Silkroad.

I also think about rebuilding all the other cities but I’m going to take it easy until I don’t have so much free time these days

About game mechanics: this is a little worrying, but nothing much, if I study the platform well, I will get this project, it will be planned much further, because now I am studying and with plans to change parents. so I’m going to play it cool, but I’m going to make the silkroad recognized again, is it possible on 3D models to remove them from Silkroad?

If so, someone could remove and post them here under the structures etc ... I will improve and make the collisions correctly in the Engine and I will do my best to bring a new experience based on Silkroad, I still have no name for the accepted project suggestion , about the project as soon as I start I will bring updates whenever possible to the post, finally, I will use some characters from Paragon:

and I will make adjustments in the classes, besides making several other adjustments that silkroad deserves ... besides being a great game it has a great mechanics this is a problem, but nothing that with time I can't do, I will redo it for the computer initially, x64 , but in time i will launch the project for console well this is not very much the case now, i will also do history mode for silkroad ...
in addition to your online mode, about this whole project you think it would work, it can come with constructive criticisms, ideas, I accept everything, whatever is best to make the project work, because I have seen many unfinished projects out there, I really want to do the project to be completed, in addition to achieving merits for my personal life with the clear project, and recognition from the silkroad community because my dream since I was a child was to have a silkroad server, and I had the opportunity to finally, support the community to make Silkroad a beautiful game again.

Thanks to everyone who read and sorry for the text so big.

You can use this tool to convert meshes from BMS to Wavefront OBJ, which can then be imported to blender:

But that's only for meshes, you'll need textures, lightmaps, skeleton for animation, animation itself, sound effects, etc.

If you want the game to have "exceptional graphics", you can't just reuse current 3d models anyway. You need more details with both number of vertices and higher-res textures. Otherwise the game will just be "Early 2000's Silkroad with a ton of lens flare".

Many people have tried this before. Some in public, some in private. And none of them succeeded. Main reason for that is that it's a bigger project than you expect it to be. You're not just throwing in a bunch of models and the rest magically works on its own. Code needs some love as well. You'll need a good concept for the code, otherwise it'll blow up in your face later and you have to start all over.
I'm confident to say that nobody in this scene has the experience to design a core for a game this big. Many still struggle at copy-pasting and understanding simple error messages.

But hey, if you don't try, you don't succeed. It's going to be an experience after all. And as long as you're having fun with it, DO IT.

Yeah i will try make it not like use all 3D models silkroad i will be try make the project inspired on it ! to make a new game but get the idea from Silkroad Online and city's are more less same because i like so much silkroad online !

Thank you, about the models, effect, particles, i will make it ! i'm learing the plataform, maybe i will make it later 1,2,3,4years we can't know but i will try it, with my max perform ! thank you again !
