UT99 SDK

Cheers
<<EDIT>> when I open the editor after installing it, I get:

Ouh not that again.

There're only 3 possible reasons for this:

Reason 1 - that function is declared in C++, but not in Unreal Script
Reason 2 - not all System Packages are loaded correctly
Reason 3 - System Packages of different Builds are messed together

Reason 1 can be excluded, Acos, for example is definitely defined and mirrored in C++ / Unreal Script:

In sdkObject.uc :

Code: Select all

native static final function float ACos(float X);

And mirrored in UnSDKObject.cpp :

Code: Select all

void UsdkObject::execACos(FFrame &Stack, RESULT_DECL)
{
   guard(UsdkObject::exeACos);

   P_GET_FLOAT(X);
   P_FINISH;

   *(FLOAT*)Result = appAcos(X);

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

Some other guys experienced a similar error, after installing the SDK in a fresh new UT install it worked for them

Never had another SDK install before, so can rule out 3... I followed the directions in the Install manual thingie exactly

Ok with a little help by raven we found out what's the reason for this: some native functions require index pointers. I uploaded a Hotfix that patches the current Beta removing that bug.

Cheers, looks like it works now ^^

Glad it works now, stupid error..

I'm wondering about one thing that I couldn't seem to get working after I looked for instructions in the help docs, and I have no idea if it's functional yet, but for the trans-level actor(s) that allow you to move from one map to another and then back to the first map with everything the way you'd left it, how does it work and what would I have to do to set up a functioning transition with it?

The Level-hub System is currently not implemented, it was coded by moonangel and I'm going to port it to C++ in one of the coming releases. The concept is simple: the state of the level as you left it is temporary saved in a save-file like a savegame and restored upon re-entering the level. One of the easiest ways to create such non-linear level design.

If I was a religious person I'd definitely changed my god... Shadow, that is amazing. Enuff said.

Oh MAN!

Thanks hehe!

But I must admit, that the Static Mesh Support as released with September Beta is not yet finished, it needs optimization on Light Pass, Occlusion, general Performance etc. I will fix those things in the next release

[UBerserker]

Beastly release!
