98Feature RequestsHave the Game Manager LUA script running in editor modeHigh1New
0%
epsilonion07.04.2019 Ticket Description

Since the Game manager LUA script keeps running above all scenes etc it would be great to be able to have it running in editor, this will enable the following and more.

Passing of tables and data like player stats between scenes (levels).
Verify that data written to tables etc in the Game manager script when in editor.
Testing and verifying that all data passed to the manager script is OK..

Having functions in the scene manager script would save from having to copy and paste them into each and every scene and speed up the load times of levels/scenes.

overall I think it would be a great benefit to have it running in editor

93Feature RequestsTo have TrackIR intergrated as standard would be great.Very Low1New

epsilonion07.11.2018 Ticket Description

If you can not afford a VR rig many people look towards TrackIR, its been around for longer than the concept of VR and is in many many games.
You could have it switched on or off (off as standard)

Featuring a wide field of view, high frame rate, and 6DoF tracking technology, the TrackIR 5 dramatically increases situational awareness, adding depth to the PC gaming experience and pulling you further into the game.

When I first requested this (approx 2 years ago) it was free and you only had to register your game with the software to access the API I dont know about now but it still should be free..

  • It’s a massive competitive edge in flight and space sims. It changes the game. There’s no going back. It’s that important
  • The added immersion and freedom puts you close enough to the virtual world for you to lose yourself in it
  • No doubt about it, TrackIR is a significant advantage in combat, and frankly a far more immersive experience. I can’t play my games without it anymore.

Some of the games using there system:

  • Star Citizen
  • Insurgancy
  • DayZ
  • ArmA 3
  • Rust
  • Dirt Rally
  • Assetto Corsa
  • Elite Dangerous
  • Flight Simulator X
  • European and American truck simulators

and many more...

Is it possible for you to create a feature within the Visual Mechanics for AI..

Something like

//forums.unrealengine.com/filedata/fetch

//forums.unrealengine.com/filedata/fetch

There are some lib’s on github for cover, suppression etc that you could look into for this feature.
Having a built in AI editor or an extension of the Visual Mechanics would help skyline appeal to gamers for making games and is already a part of the BIG engines out there and would help skyline shine above all other indie engines..

1SpiderMack16.04.201808.02.2019 Ticket Description

There is important Navmesh functions to create advanced AI.

Many are already included in Detour Api, Skyline just needs to interface them to Lua.

findRandomPointAroundCircle

Used a lot to create dynamic AI moving everywhere around the player

dtStatus dtNavMeshQuery::findRandomPointAroundCircle(dtPolyRef startRef, const float* centerPos, const float maxRadius

raycast

Faster than physics raycast when testing environment, and usefull to identify static walls and obstacles
dtStatus dtNavMeshQuery::raycast(dtPolyRef startRef, const float* startPos, const float* endPos

getCost

Navigation cost.
Can be used to compare two possible destination cost or used for gaemplay like checking if sound propagation reaches a destination.

float dtQueryFilter::getCost(const float* pa, const float* pb,

closestPointOnPolyBoundary

Closest point into a boundary poly
dtStatus dtNavMeshQuery::closestPointOnPolyBoundary(dtPolyRef ref, const float* pos, float* closest)

findPath

Gets the path in an array of points, it can be usefull to let the user use the path and create it’s own movement code.

1SpiderMack18.03.201808.02.2019 Ticket Description

Navmesh needs a function telling if a destination is inside navmesh or not.
This can be used by AI to know if some destination can be reached.
It’s often used with AI and random movement, fleeing, wandering or other behaviours.

75Feature RequestsFeature request - Physics shape adjust sizeLowNew

SpiderMack17.03.2018 Ticket Description

Box collision size can’t quickly be adjusted in the physics properties.
For example adding a box collision to a tree objects,the box is too big and can be adjusted in the editor.
It’s the same for other physics shapes.

1SpiderMack16.03.201822.03.2018 Ticket Description

Lighting is scattered all around in Skyline, you discover some default parameters you must change are on Light tools for example you never got the idea it was here.

Those could be grouped on same window or same menu :
- Environment setup

SpiderMack16.03.2018 Ticket Description

Navmesh API needs a function to allow us to setup the agent max turning speed.

Some characters could be heavy with lower turning speed.
It’s useful to tweak agent turning speed looking more natural and not too fast.

Been able to render to texture using a camera in scene would help when making mini-maps, CCTV (say cameras in a prison and they monitor the inmates.

Been able to use a camera as a transmitter for Render to Texture would be awesome.

63Feature RequestsNavmesh componentLowProcessing
0%
1SpiderMack03.03.201808.02.2019 Ticket Description

All features should be component based, actually Navmesh is a lua call , there is no component.

Skyline should get a nevmesh component.
There would be parameters exposed to component properties like acceleration , deceleration, distance min make navmesh stop, character radius if it could support avoidance.

Also some Lua functions would be needed :
- IsReachable for example, telling if destination position is inside navmesh
- Lua Access to the result array of navmesh calculation if users want to do something else with the calculated path.
- Lua Stop and resume functions , to be able to interrupt a path navigation and resume it if necessary.

62Feature RequestsWeb Access / DRM usage etcLowNew
0%
1epsilonion03.03.201803.03.2018 Ticket Description

I have been thinking about the endgame and if Skyline releases to the steam distribution platform.

Steam seems to be very easy to crack every piece of software/game is available as soon as it comes out via torrents
This way you could create your own DRM to an effect...

Pull data from a steam purchase to a database on your dedicated server/VPS.
When your game loads ask user to login and use there steam email address
Check the email address against your database. etc..

To do this you would have to have access via LUA and pass secure information to and receive it from the server..

1. Lua Web Socket Handles SSL, encryptions etc etc..
2. Use raknet but you would have to write your own Lua lib to work around passing data into lua via curl and passing teh certificate in lua code.

Option 2 would be better for later development when SGE exposes C++ or C# i guess.. and exposing all C++ libs to C# would mean that developers can do this them selves..

53Feature RequestsSupport GLTF 2.0 format for extended 3D model exchangeLowDelayed
0%
SpiderMack20.02.2018 Ticket Description

GLFT2.0 is a modern format for modern rendering.

Some engines have open source import/export plugins.

It has some advantages over Collada or FBX formats :

GLTF is a JSON based format. It’s very easy to parse and the data already comes typed.
glTF allows specifying an external file for the big data, in binary format.
glTF’s file structure is crystal clear. No extra or redundant data exists. There is only one way the scene definition can be understood
glTF 2.0 fully supports skeletons and morph targets, which can be parsed easily and unambiguously.
It supports PBR based materials using the Disney/Unreal format, which is what most engines and 3D modelling applications use nowadays
It also handles two-sidedness and transparent materials, including alpha to coverage.
glTF 2.0 supports multiple animations per file,it also supports many key interpolation types, such as Catmull Rom and Cubic Spline.

glTF is developed by individuals from companies such as Microsoft, Unity, Google, Adobe, NVidia, Oculus, etc. in collaboration with Khronos.

3SpiderMack18.02.201818.02.2018 Ticket Description

Skyline does not have collision volumes objects without rigidbodies.

This is what is used to create hitboxes, collision zones, character or other objects composed of multiple collision parts.

Those collision volumes are used to have collision and detect collision against other objects or detect collision for raycast. Or to get ragdoll feature possible.

This is mostly used in games for characters , vehicles or any other dynamic entity.
Also used for static objects you want to create a simplified collision using some basic collision volumes.

22Feature RequestsGetting NavMesh Data (helpful for AI programming)Medium1Processing
0%
2epsilonion10.02.201808.02.2019 Ticket Description

I.e. get navmesh concave so you can get the npc to lean in and fire, the NPC would know that there is an object at a location because of the navmesh data and will know where corners are so it can lean while firing and stay in cover..

There are many many uses for Navmesh data in AI related programming and it gives you more precise control and positioning while seeking out cover than other methods (and the least time consuming) so much better then manually placing cover objects in a scene and getting the npc to position correctly on the corner, manually placing cover objects can be very very resource heavy especially if your doing a full 20km x 20km map.

You can use the Navmesh data with other flags/data on objects in a scene to let the NPC know its a small wall or a object that it can not fire over, overall its about getting the NPC positioning correctly.

This is the preferred method of most AAA and serious game makers.. :)

3Hannah Young07.02.201810.01.2019 Ticket Description

Different decals systems

  • static optimized decals
  • dynamic with polling decals

I mean for example you have a pool of 30 bullet decals created at game start, when you spawn a decal somewhere it uses a decal from the decal pool list.
If you have spanwed the last 30 decals, next time it will take the first decal and position it to the new position request.

Game objects for click placement is great for fast decals.
Advanced decals bending on geometry would be a great addition later.

CanReachPosition (Vec3) :
Returns if a position we ask is inside navmesh or not.
Can have many uses like checking goal position can be reached or random positions are inside navmesh.

NavmeshRaycast(Vec3 start, Vec3 goal):
Like physics raycast, but returns if there is some intersection in the navmesh from a start position to a goal position. It’s should be less expensive than raycast, but allowing to detect ground static obstacles.

Skyline prefab system is more like a grouping system, when you drop one in the scene you got all group items in the hierarchy view.
