Mods of Crysis, like Zombies in Dayz stuff

Can it be done? I dont know anything about programming but can someone use the cryengine to make another game? Ive seen nanosuits in Skyrim and stuff like that, but can anyone make like dayz mods and badass creative games? JW if you wanna comment that would be much appreciated.

Well, sure, I've seen and played plenty of mods. True Combat, Urban Terror, Infiltration, ACE 2 mod for Arma. With a good SDK and Editor, you can do just about anything with a game engine. It just depends on what functions they allow you access to in the engine, and how well they are documented. My big problem with Crytek is while they give you the SDK, its not very well documented. At least it wasn't in C1 / Wars. Caused the failures of what would have been some really good mods, like Obsidian Edge, and CryRecon. Crytek just doesn't support modding well at all.

Not possible for co-op/multiplayer. For some reason the Cryengine (or at least CryEngine 3) at the moment doesn′t support multiplayer with AI, it only works if you play it as a SP mod.

Yes you can. The engine Crysis 2/3 is built on (CryEngine 3) has its own free software development kit, of which people are free to create their own games, even sell them if they get a license from Crytek.
Head over to crydev.net, you'll find a ton of zombie related projects on the forums created in CryEngine, some even featured on the homepage news.

As for modding Crysis 3, we have a thing called the 'Crysis Sandbox Editor', it's basically identical to the CryEngine 3 SDK, just built to work with whatever Crysis game it is built for. The one for Crysis 3 has not been released yet. I doubt you would be able mod Crysis 3 into a DayZ style game, as you would have to edit multiplayer code, of which you cannot do in the Crysis sandbox (the sandbox is normally used for custom multiplayer levels and weapon mods, not entire game mods). You would be far better off making a game from scratch in the CE3 SDK, like most people are doing.

No, all these games are fictitious:

I would love to see and play game like DayZ build on CryEngine 3. Just take Far Cry 3, make a gigantic isle like in DayZ (or part of continent) and fill it with villages, building, airports and so one and add tons of zombies :D What DayZ was needing from the start it was engine like CE3 and someone who can make it happen.

To be hones right now DayZ mod and DayZ Standalone have really crappy performance comparing to what these game offer in matter of visual effects. Somehow CE3 can also generate huge terrain and yet it runs better than this Arma crap engine o.O
