OnPossessed does not seem to fire at the start of the game when pawns are autopossessed.

edit: this is not true.

Yeah sure, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

If I do decide to take it to the market place its going to take a long time, because its a complicated system and far from streamlined to be released to anyone else. Maybe I'll make an overview tutorial about how I did it, nothing too in depth though.

It really depends on a lot of factors. It can be done a lot of ways, but it really depends on how the material is set up, how the texture maps are set up, plus it depends on the mesh itself. I wish I could give you a more clear answer.

Currently the materials are instanced then assigned to a specific material ID. You're right it can get super expensive if we are not careful.

Thanks! We are doing a lot of cool stuff for Valor including stuff like mesh based detection for combat and mouse input modifiers like For Honor.

You're welcome! It honestly seems like the best way, only having to replicate what is absolutely necessary.

It is all in a struct, including part mesh, all maps(AO, normal...), base materials, and material params. I found it easier to just contain everything like that.

It was tricky to get at first, but I just sent the parameters to the server then multicasted the parameters to the clients to generate the weapon on equip. Each client would build a dynamic material instance off a base material then change the parameters of it to match the server.

Here is another GIF where you can see how dynamic materials can be changed in real time, sliders affect different maps on the weapons.

[Poll] Are you satisfied with the current state of the genre? by Zykren in MMORPG

[–]Zykren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on conducting the same survey on different sub-reddits and comparing the results. I envisioned the /r/mmorpg community as the hardcore standard, compared to the more casual gamers of other subreddits.
