It looks to me like the real fun is just beginning.

This is very Interesting,

To keep this Topic Alive, here are a few questions about Modding

You said before that creating assets to the game is very expensive and take time, Will be possible  for the modding Community to create art assets and add them to the game/map? I am talking about ruins and burned out cities and such. Can you add physics to those Old buildings that you create?

Another question is about the timeline animations of units and Explosions. will that be possible to do by the modding Community? or that is inside the Game Engine and its not in yet?

And when you Say Scripting Language, will it be possible to create a whole campaign with Stories and Intros into AOTS?

Thanks in advance.

Nice, happy to hear word on the modding support side of things. In the future if Ashes ends up being a game that I really get into I may look into starting project for it

EDIT:

I don't post often but am keeping a close eye on development nontheless.

Have to say that i probably have buy Ashes most because this and Map Editor then actualy to be a active player ( its what i like).

What software will be alowed to work with Ashes files.

A Plugins to import and export SMD files or ashes code files for 3DS ,Unity , Maya and Photoshop. 

Or what kind files we can think to work, to creat units, economy ,builds,ui.

Im ust to work with unity/ 3ds / photoshop 

1 of my 1 creations to Rampage team FA T4 FatLaser, mix Fatboy Sup2 with spider lasers from FA

So  with some more of you , i hope we start have lot fun with ashes game with lot share ideas and knowledge from all modders.

I am so excited for the modding possibilities.  Mods are the reason we still play TA/SupCom/SOASE today.  Nothing refreshes a game more than custom units/game types.  Personally I'm not too experienced with making units and such as most of my modeling experience is in AutoCad for industrial applications but knowing what the community is capable of makes me excited!

If anyone out there is super savvy, start working on the Star Wars and/or Warhammer mods

Gah modding has me so excited.  I forgot completely about how cool some of the unit art in supcom 2 was simply because it was so bad in most other regards IMO.  

How does this compare to the map editor for Starcraft 2?  Blizzard games hold insane replay value because of it.  Would be cool to see it in ashes. 

Have some questions.

Drop the XML and the text CSV into the  directory i find it how works and actualy its easyer then most games i modded when you understand all script orders.

1 Question - units and builds arent on a 3DS Files (*.3ds) format , so what the units format to save so i can understand how to work or what kind plug ins i/we must get.

2 Question - Textures and materials exported with the Export Two-Sided Faces checkbox selected , some importers might compute the normals incorrectly, resulting in flipped textures.

3 Question - If not at this moment can it be possible work with none-hover floating units, i like to transfer my base units to ashes on future but i have to work with scale too so to understand how Ashes read the files i have this questions .

I only need to this question be answer,  what the file format to import and export  a unit from a 3d software.

Scripting and call that unit i made needs that ashes recognize that format file . (XML ,Meshdesc ,pallete ?)
