UnrealTournament Extension Pack

[FXD|Shadow]

Oh sorry, nearly forgot about that.

- new Base Render to have additional basic render passes used for additional Rendering of new Sprites and later StaticMeshes, Shaders, Particles, Foliage
- new Sprite Render System (Coronas, Extended Sprites, Lensflares) with partial Unreal Engine 2 Texture Modifier Support (TexRotator, TexScaler etc. ... TexPanner in future Releases) + in-Editor Realtime Preview Support

- numerous new Native Functions for sdkObject / sdkActor
- overhauled sdkCanvas (some new Functions, some old simplified / optimized)

- minor fixes on the whole Source Code to get it working in newer Visual Studio C++ Versions (mainly switched to Visual Studio C++ 2008 due to unsolvable troubles with SSE 2 in VS C++ 6)
- minor improvements for the Dynamic Array and Multi Timer Support
- some new Unreal Script Features
- new LevelInfo Actor to handle new Actors in future releases (important: holds VehicleList, EmitterList, PostProcessList, GraphicsActorsList and such stuff)
- first time detailed documentation (some illustrated PDF documents)

- started work on Volume System, Post Processing System and Particle Engine
- basic concept / code for Render To Texture Support


Yeah that's it for this release as far as I can remember.
For the next release I mainly focus on the Post Processing System, improvements on the Sprite Render and Alpha Build of the C++ Particle Engine

//edit: May one of the Moderators change the thread title to "Unreal Tournament SDK" please? the old title is somewhat... out dated

This is a very great goal but I wish it would have been for UT2004 instead of UT99. It's just too old of a game for developing anything anymore.

 

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

It's never too old.

hahahahaha

thanks god this will never happen.

 

[FXD|Shadow]

This is a very great goal but I wish it would have been for UT2004 instead of UT99.

These engine enhancements are impossible for UT2004, there're no public headers available.

It's just too old of a game for developing anything anymore.

One word: NOT.
That's why there're over 20 Mods still developed and increasing in number xD
Just because a woman get's into the thirties she's not automatically a faded beauty xD

 

[UBerserker]

I'm going to try this stuff on what I am working on. SDK probably has the things I exactly need, Thank you!

 

[UBerserker]

Two questions:
1)Can't find 'intUsdkObjectexecrrange' in 'sdkCore.dll'. Can't open sdkEngine. Do I have to install the Development folder somewhere too?

2)Is PostProcessing available in this build?

Does that mean UT has reached its sexual peak?

Damn what's that? I compiled everything right before the release... gonna check it out tomorrow. RRange is a function in sdkObject and lol it's back from Build 100 I wonder why it's missing it...

No Post Processing is not yet available.

//edit: ok, I've looked at the Source and RRange is completely defined and working:

in sdkObject.uc :

native static final function rotator RRange(rotator Max, rotator Min)

and in UnSDKObject.cpp :

//native static final function rotator RRange(rotator Max, rotator Min);
void UsdkObject::execRRange(FFrame &Stack, RESULT_DECL)
{
	guard(UsdkObject::execRRange);

	P_GET_ROTATOR(A);
	P_GET_ROTATOR(B);
	P_FINISH;

	*(FRotator*)Result = RRange(A,B);

	unguard;
}
IMPLEMENT_FUNCTION(UsdkObject,-1,execRRange);

So I don't understand why you're getting that error...
Anybody else experiencing that ... bug?

 

[UBerserker]

Oh wait wait wait.

It's working now. Apparently I forgot to add the EditPackages in the UnrealTournament.ini file goddamn I'm ****ing dumb

I can load the files now in the Editor.

 

[FXD|Shadow]

Oh ok... I'm reassured now, I really don't like if something is not working that I've done

Concerning the EditPackages thing... please read the documentation first. I've really focussed on making a detailed documentation starting with this version.

Glad it's working now for you.

UTSDK January 2012 Beta Release

Starting the new year for the SDK with a bunch of new features and improvements: The next new and fresh release of the Unreal Tournament Community SDK. In this month's release new Sprite/Texture Drawing and Blending Functions were introduced and the OpenGL Driver has been totally rewritten which improves performance and stability.

There're also a lot of bug fixesand new minor feature extensions for the Particle Engine and some neat new features like the first appearance of Beam Emitters. This release includes the bugfix of Build 300a fixing problems with Static Meshes. Last major new feature to name for this release is a completely new Interpolation System for the UnrealED, but see for yourself in the Changelog.


New Features

• added: new Texture/Sprite Rendering Functions
  - DrawSpinTile (draws a sprite that spins around it's center)
  - DrawAxisTile (like DrawSpinTile but with advanced axis settings, an axial sprite)
  - DrawStretchedTile (specialized for stretched textures, drawn between 2 individual points)
  - supports rotatable and stretachable Textures
  - Axis Sprite Rendering
  - STY_Modulated supports coloring!
  - A lot of new Texture Blending Styles (see below)
  
  
• added: new Texture Styles supported by Particles, Sprites, Canvas, BSP and Post Processing:
  - Blend_Brighten / Blend_Darken
  - Blend_SubtleBrighten / Blend_SubtleDarken
  - Blend_ModBrighten / Blend_NegativeDarken
  - Blend_Multiply
  - Blend_Negative
  - Blend_Inverted
  
  
• added: new Base Render Device „sdkRenderDevice"
• added: Beam Emitter, easy to use for realistic and stunning graphics including features like:
  - Light Rays, Beams and other Light Effects
  - Lasers
  - Wireframe Support (Vertex, Line, Length)
  - Beam Noise, Tessellation, Axis Orientation
  
  
• added: Directional Beam Emitter, let's you create Light Beams/Rays that react realistically to the player's view
• added: working LOD Support
  - LOD dependant smooth Emission Frequency and Particle Count change
  - additional LOD Settings like: NoDraw, NoUpdate etc.
  
  
• added: Vertex Emission, let's you emit particles at random vertices of a given mesh or brush
• added: time based Particle Size Interpolation (similar to Color)
• added: new Color Interpolation Modes: CTrans_Interpolate, CTrans_Switch
• added: rotatable Particles for all Sprite-based Emitters
• added: Axis Particles for all Sprite-based Emitters
• added: new Interpolation System:
  - interpolated movement of any Actor (not only Player Classes)
  - supports smooth interpolated position
  - supports smooth interpolated rotation/direction
  - in-Editor statistics: connectivity between nodes, start/end node, orientation
  - in-Editor Preview, watch the interpolation sequence directly inside the Editor!

Fixes/Updates

• updated: when the skin list of a Static Mesh is going empty (or some element(s)) the original mesh skins are restored and the mesh is retextured with them (Build 300a, Hotfix1)
• updated: OpenGL Driver completely recoded on base of UT GLR 3.7: stable, high performance and new features (as stated above)
• updated: removed sdkBaseEmitter.uc and moved all content to sdkEmitter.uc for clearness and rebuild ability reasons
• updated: merged CTrans_Lerp, CTrans_Smerp and CTrans_Interpolate as CTrans_Interpolate, all
  these were too similar, uses Lerp formula (linear interpolation from A to B)
  updated: Particle Color List contains 16 elements now (not 8 anymore)
• fixed: critical error when adding Static Mesh Actor to the map (strange I didn't notice that... the bug was caused by missmanaged skins (Build 300a, Hotfix1)
• fixed: Actor Selection Bug, thanks to Dr.Flay again drawing attention on this bug
• fixed: incorrect color transition between different and equal Particle Color Transition Modes (a short flicker of the previous color appeared before going to next color)
• fixed: Wireframe Shape "SHAPE_Box" of Emitters is rendered correctly
• fixed: Particle Texture Animation improved, fully working
• fixed: Emitter Instant Preview Mode fully working

So finally here it is. The next new and fresh release of the Unreal Tournament Community SDK. This month's release comes with a huge update for the Material System adding new Materials like TexRotators and TexEnvMaps! On the other hand I implemented a lot of the C++ rendering functionality on Unreal Script Level (native functions) and finally added full Quaternion Support.

More good news: I reimplemented Projectors and optimized them and fixed some rendering bugs concerning the new Blending Styles. There're also finally 2 read-to-use Example Packages (sdkSandbox and sdkSandboxMaterials) showing example content including Materials, Static Meshes, Projectors and Emitters.

Already been out for nearly a year, old news.

Shadow would've liked it to be out before 29/12 (as said on the official fb page) but he's currently writing up documentation and finishing up some showcase maps I believe. Hopefully there will be a release in the next month or so!
