Good, you're getting used to the UDK tool.I suggest you disable/remove the 'Spring' character animation in most springs and dash rings.

New 1.00.244 version is up! Source Code (requires UDK January 2012): 2shared / DepositFiles / MediaFire / RapidShare EDIT: HOTFIX (save as); it adds 8 configurable variables to PawnSonic. What's new? In short: Regarding the SGDK Test Map: Minor changes worth mentioning here: The Wiki has also been slightly updated with the new stuff.

Yup, the intro of the video is too long, but anyways, it looks good, props to you for programming it from scratch. I demand THIS!

It's improving in a good way, I'm glad you're persevering. Spline paths were designed to be used only for 2.5D, although you can move the camera wherever you want, the player inputs are still lateral (left-right to advance). If it would take only 2 minutes I wouldn't have mentioned that in the readme.You can switch levels easily with Kismet; just "open" a level file like I did in the test map. There are 3 giant rings in the same area that teleport you to 3 different maps that come with UDK; 2 of them are from the Unreal Tournament 3 game.

http://info.sonicretro.org/Fangame_How-to:SonicGDK/Set_up_sidescroller_%282.5D%29_sections It's incomplete, but it may help you. If you need more details just ask.

Of course you can, just create a badnik which extend from the SGDKEnemyPawn class or better from one of the EnemyPawnXXXX classes.

SonicGDK uses modified "UDK bots", which don't have the "UT bot" logic (attacking, strafing, looking for enemies...); I guess that's why your enemies didn't detect Sonic.

How can I rig the skeletal meshes and animations that already on UDK to be badniks? I don't understand this question fully. How do I use custom skeletal meshes and animations to replace the default badniks? How can I add projectiles to the badniks? You have to code a new badnik class, program a fire projectile behaviour and link there to your assets. Check in SGDKEnemyPawn class, in the defaultproperties block, the properties of the WPawnSkeletalMeshComponent object. How can I add to the endurance of a badnik to create possible boss enemies? Just change the starting Health of the badnik, set it to 8 for 8 hits. Is it possible for me to add the badnik meshes and animations from Ashura's Reign to SGDK? No, it isn't possible. How can I add support for multiple characters and game types (if possible)? When opening a map with a command, you can specify the gametype; in case you use SGDKGameInfo, you can also specify the pawn/character. Check ParsePlayerPawnClass() of SGDKGameInfo. Example: open SonicGDKTestMap?game=SonicGDK.SGDKGameInfo?pawn=Sonic[/CODE] [b][i]I figured out how to tweak Sonic's speed and all of that, but I couldn't find how to change the distance of his side-step[/i][/b] You have to re-write the Dodge() function of PawnSonic class, the distance of the quick step is determined by a timer (0.065) which value you should increase or decrease. [b][i]Where can I find the files and programming used for the level introduction hud (or level title card-is it called?)?[/i][/b] SGDKHud class, state TitleCardState. It is the default/initial state. [b][i]Also, I can't seem to figure out how to add the titles of the levels to the huds like in the example test map[/i][/b] You need to have a texture with all the titles of your levels and use it in your HUD class to display them.

Well, if you don't mind I would like you to ask here your questions so that everyone benefits from my answers; but if you insist in contacting me directly, I'll send you an e-mail soon.

The first time that you open the test map, it will compile all the material shaders and take a really long time; the editor or game doesn't really crash, just wait patiently or leave the PC alone while processing.The PC specs you have are very short for UDK development.

Which version of UDK are you using? What's your system specs? What kind of error did and do you get?

Not bad, it's a good start.I guess you'll populate the introduction with more stuff, right?

What's you system specs? Compilation fails? The editor works?

June.

Just re-apply SonicGDK and I think you'll be able to play the game. About Streak's Colors model I don't give support, sorry.

New 1.00.109 version is up! Source Code (requires UDK June 2011): DepositFiles / HotFile / MegaUpload / UploadHere / UploadKing My to-do list is almost empty now, I'll take a long break from Sonic, so don't expect regular code updates any more. .

You're asking everyone, right? I have no idea of that matter.

Moar wikis: FAQ / 2.5D Feedback/help would be appreciated.
