Welcome to Unreal Engine board

[Talad]

Hi,
you can use this board to post questions or comments about Unreal engine, and to show your tests or progress in development. We will post here our updates as we go!

I just installed UE and I'm watching videos and reading howto's.
I'm new on 3D development, so any guidance will be so helpfull.
May be after a few training I can help on working on this proyect.
Hugs

Hello
just found this
Mario on unreal engine 4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUKcSiAPJoQ
he said he have used some commercial adon not sur he can make the same whit freeware adon/plugin ?

[CheatCat]

Well, while UE itself is open source kind off, it uses some binary closed source dependencies.
But if you mean pay for plugins, it is not needed. Just fire up the editor, you can make pretty stunning stuff right away.


Other question is if PlaneShift will use an UE server or an independent one that not requires UE? I think an UE server might be more simple but that would most likely destroy all backward compatibility.

Any feedback and/or tips for installing UE4 in Ubuntu 16.04 or any other Linux Distro would be most welcome, struggling here

[Ravna]

This guide was basically written for Ubuntu: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Programming/Development/BuildingUnrealEngine/index.html It may have been written for 15.4 or something, but it should work on most recent Ubuntu versions.

Also check this first if you don't have the source code downloaded yet: https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/GettingStarted/DownloadingUnrealEngine/index.html

Finally, https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/GettingStarted/RecommendedSpecifications/index.html lists a set of hardware and software requirements (including required software packages like cmake, and clang versions).

[Eurac]

Thank you Ravna, I believe the guides were for Ubuntu 14.04. My build on 16.04 won't complete due to an error during set up, I think it is an issue with clang-3.3 but I am not sure. i am a complete beginner at this bit will work the problem Next I will try on an Ubuntu 14.04 installation.

In case it's of use to anyone.

Open UE4Editor in UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor

So I saw that this subject is about and I began to look for things to fix. Here is a few things i came up with.

The Races- Originally, the plan was to have 12 races, not 9. So possibly add that? Or to help, make the Diaboli a playable race? I have a few ideas for anyone who is intrested

The Colors- As I know Rykia Mewmeat already suggested this, but add some colors. Amendir is totally gray, and so is a bunch of other stuff, like armor and armor parts.

THE BUGS- Oh god the BUGS! The server crashing is a little weird, but the rainbow glitch is cool (where the colors just go rainbow mode, mostly in the forest.) and other than that, its good, exept for the occaisonal upside down world

Ill think of more eventually

[Eleirit Kcelmien]

I am a novice programmer but I am an okay Blender-er, so could I help with that, mabye?  Or adding signposts
