There are some issues with cooking & packaging in earlier releases. This guide and the mod sample on Github were built using UE 4.9 Preview 4. Mods are handled as Plugins by the engine, so I recommend reading up on how plugins are handled by the editor before moving on. The Mod source contains a gamemode, map and custom player character. The mod changes the weapon behavior by shooting three balls in an arc instead of one.

As a base I used the Blueprint FPS Template. I’ve created a sample FPS project with a simple mod included, it’s available for download on GitHub. At one point, we see Epic move an element of the jungle environment (a large cliff) around, and as they do, UE5 automatically fills in the area where the object once was.I will be running you through the process of setting up a mod (or “User Generated Content”) for your Unreal Engine 4 game. Presumably, you could opt to have truck be made of pretty much anything.įor developers, perhaps the most exciting new Unreal Engine 5.2 feature are its new procedural content creation tools.

In the demo, Epic instantly swaps the car’s paint job for a reflective “opal” coat. Basically, devs will be able to quickly and easily swap out what an object is made of. Valve also shows off their new “Substrate” material framework. Everything from the vines, to the rocks and water the truck drives over react appropriately, thanks to Valve’s Chaos physics engine. We see a vehicle (a Rivian R1T electric pickup truck) make its way through a near-photorealistic jungle environment. Past Unreal Engine 5 demos Valve has offered have largely taken place in rocky, barren landscapes, so it’s pretty clear they made a pointed decision to focus on a lush, living environment this time around.
