UnrealInk 4.27.0-1

Mostly just repackaged for 4.27, with a pull request that adds unicode support. I intend to fix some of the outstanding issues on this github when I can, but have not done so yet. Please bear with me.

• Repackaged for 4.27
• Now supports unicode ink text properly.

Unreal Ink v4.26.0-1

No significant changes, just upgraded to Unreal 4.26.0, recompiled and repackaged.

Unreal Ink v4.25.3-3

Another chunky update to the plugin brings this plugin inline with the full featureset of the ink C# api. I'm considering it "done" at this point, though note that there are still improvements that can be made. It has everything you would want to make a game with.

Changes

• Added BuildStringOfHeirarchy function
• Added support for querying global tags
• Warnings are now properly reported while running the story
• Added background thread saving functions
• Added function to get path string from story state
• Maybe added Mac support? Everything is there, need someone to test it for me.
• Added variable state structure for querying or setting any variable state in the story
• Added HasFunction and EvaluateFunction calls for executing code inside the story
• Added external functions which can be bound to delegates. Don't know how to make this work in blueprints nicely, but it's exposed to C++ for now.

Unreal Ink v4.25.3-2

This is a significant update to usability of the plugin, allowing release packaged builds, proper error handling and includes the new version of Ink.

Changes

• Changed project structure so that you can easily compile the plugin yourself without needing engine source code. Simply download the repo and open the solution file. A dummy host project is provided
• Plugin now works when placed in the project's plugin folder and not just the engine's plugin folder
• Upgraded Ink runtime to 0.9.0
• mono sgen library and all required mono assemblies are now automatically copied to the output directory when doing packaged builds. Packaged builds should no longer crash
• Implemented asset reimport for story assets
• Choice functions are now pure blueprint functions
• Error message handling for the ink compiler has been implemented. Get warnings, author messages and errors sent to the unreal message log when compiling ink scripts

Barring a couple of advanced Ink api features, this library is now suitable for publishing games with. I will be implementing the other missing advanced features soon.
