Add-on Support

[peperonikiller#4742]

Will Em8er have add-on support similar to how Firefall had Lua addon support? I thoroughly enjoyed creating addons for firefall and the fact you can move them anywhere on screen was awesome! Hoping we can get something like that.

I believe the question has been raised b4 but I don't recall the answer. A good question for this coming Thursday's Chief Chat.

I think Grummz said that we wouldn't be able to make addons because of the way UE4 works. That was a while ago, though, so it could have changed more recently. However, if we can't make addons, perhaps the devs can make free "dlcs" that function similarly to how some addons worked in Firefall. Perhaps a new version of lfgfinder, or something in-game like warframe.market.

I guess we'll know better if anything changed after Chief Chat

Em.8ER will transition from UE4 to UE5 and who knows what can be done in that engine yet...

will UE5 by chance be easier on the hardware reqs?

Who knows at this point, but seeing as it's the next iteration it's going to have support for more advanced lighting/texturing/etc.. architectures
