Enfusion
Template:Stub Enfusion is an engine currently in development by Bohemia Interactive in order to replace Real Virtuality as their common base for future games. As of 2019, Bohemia Interactive assigned most of its development teams to this project[1]. This engine is already in use on DayZ as of 0.63, which was released in 2018[2]. However, it only makes use of Enfusion's rendering and animations systems[1].
Enfusion is announced to allow far more flexibility and scalability than Real Virtuality, specifically through modding with the availability of extensive development tools and ability for modders to create their own plugins for Enfusion[1]. Furthermore, Enfusion would also allow modders to interact with the games' core features and mechanics[3], [4].
Backwards compatibility
Enfusion is expected by community members to retain backwards compatibility with Arma 3 content in some extent. Namely, PAA, P3D[5] and RTM[3] files may be supported, as well as maps[3], which may however require additional conversion steps[5]. SQF scripts are seemingly no longer supported[5].
Features
- Script Syntax
- Open source 3D software tools support[1].
- Compatibility with multiple gaming platforms[1].
