Portal editor is up

@CyberDyme 

That could be the case but I guess we'll see if this is just a sampling of what the final Portal will be upon release or if this is really it.  .....and/or whether or not this is an aspect they are looking to expand on in the future.  

From what I've seen so far, Portal is coming up short on what I had expected as it seems more limited in a few ways that what I had imagined.  Having said that however, I still find a lot of freedom in the options we do see right now on the website.  Some of the restrictions though seem contrary to what we have heard from the devs so that leaves some hope that those are elements that may change in the release version or sometime after.

In either case, Portal is something the devs have said that they will be expanding on and if it becomes as popular as I think it might, perhaps we will see ample support for it going forward. 

Personally, I am still excited about it and the only big question mark for me right now is the quality of the AI and their affect on the gameplay.  If they are good as advertised, then this may be the new game that my friends and I will playing for months to come.

It doesn't appear to be possible although perhaps something may be able to be done in the logic editor.  I did take a brief look there but didn't see anything that jumped out at me.  To be honest, I'm still trying to figure it out.  I've dabbled in script editing, etc. but this is a new format.  It does seem pretty intuitive though. .

Sadly @kregora,

That will not be possible in the standard game modes in the Portal for Conquest and Breakthrough.  Because the advanced logic game rules editor will not be enabled for those two standard game modes.  

So the factions will only be able to play using their own era weapons arsenal.  Aka BF3 soldiers will only have access to their own BF3 era weapons and the BFBC2 soldiers will only have access to their own era BFBC2 weapons... 

Ha yes @kregora ,

There is no such thing as a free lunch.   

Unfortunately the advanced logic rules editor component in the Portal is only available for the game modes of Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch.

So for those two game modes we can use the game’s advanced Rules Editor, which we dont know yet if possible or not, but we hope this will open up for the option to cross pollinate with the weapons across the BF era, so aka using the BF3 soldier classes but having access to the BF2042 weapons.

Not sure why as well the EA Dev team restricted the advanced game rules editor only to work on those two game modes and not all of them, as we obviously wanted to have the full freedom also to customize aka the classic Conquest...?

@CyberDymeI think they don't want to publish their code for Conquest and Rush modes. But access to the logic editor for those modes would be a great help to implement Sniper Rifle and Shotgun limits. And maybe more granular friendly fire rules.
