ECR is an attempt of resurrection of an online third-person shooter video game Eternal Crusade.
This project can be used as a template for creating a similar genre game, and ECRCommon module contains functionality that may be useful for a wide range of games.
- C++ Unreal Engine 5 project
- Customization system for modular characters (material customization, mesh customization)
- Epic Online Services P2P matchmaking (users can create their own matches)
- Python Scripts for automation of restoring non-exportable or hardly-exportable data for an unpacked UE4 game (socket data, maps data, materials, references to materials within meshes)
- Enhanced Input Subsystem is used for input (borrowed from Lyra)
- 3rd person multiplayer shooter and melee combat system based on Lyra's GAS
- A better nested directory structure
- Fixed a bug with improper spread cooldown activation on ranged weapons
- Several attributes are used to consume damage (First shield, then health, then bleeding health)
- QuickBar component has multiple channels (eg one for ranged weapons, one for melee)
- ECREquipmentManagerComponent is capable of hiding equipment by visibility channels (eg LeftHand, RightHand for two-handed weapon)
- PawnData is defined in GameState and on Character as a spawn option, so it can be customizable, unlike Lyra, where it's defined by experience and is the same for all players
- Shooting uses advanced tracing to get a point on the camera vector where pawn should aim from weapon actor, unlike Lyra, where shooting is done from camera
- GAS debugger correctly works on 3rd page, checking costs on abilities CDOs without producing errors in the log
- Gameplay Abilities can asynchronously load montages for different skeletons using cosmetic tags without having to create multiple GA instances
- Advanced interaction system allows interaction options to be set by actors in blueprints, makes possible interactions via input tags and overriding input mappings
- Advanced melee combat prediction system
In both this repo and ECRContent (in private access) master branch is locked, all work should be done
after creating a new branch based on dev
