A vehicle framework for Unreal Tournament

This repository is part of the UTVehicles-plugin which consists of the code part and the asset part. You can find the assets repository in its latest state here. That repository is included as a sub-module in the specific folder called Content which points to a specific state (to feature full compatibility to the code).

• Download the latest release
• Unpack the file into the Plugins folder located at:
  UnrealTournamentEditor\UnrealTournament\Plugins
• Start the editor and open the TestVehicles map
  (if the editor doesn't show the map/classes, tick Show Plugin Content under View options on the lower right in the content browser)
• Start creating vehicles. Check the Wiki for more information

Note: You can also create your own maps, but you have to set-up some game type properties. This is required to have fully support for vehicle driving, entering and such.

Note: Currently not supported.

• Download the latest release for the game
• Unpack the file and place the PAK-file into your Content folder

The current framework comes with limited content. There is a test map (which is basically a copy of the Example map) as a playground for vehicle driving. This map will evolve over time and change drastically.

That map has a vehicle available which can be entered and driven around.

The following classes can be used to create vehicles:

• Vehicle: Basic vehicle which supports steering and throttling, entering and exiting, a visible mesh, suiciding, and such but no proper physics simulation
• UTVehicle: Currently a stub which will be the base class for most UT vehicles (probably even all of them)
• SVehicle: Quite similar to Vehicle (which is sub-classed to be specific) but with PhysX-physics simulation

Every asset for creating UT vehicles is accessible in the original repository of Unreal Tournament

This plugin is created with the code-base of the latest release of the Unreal Tournament Source code. In order to fully support using this plugin with the Launcher versions of Unreal Tournament, a specific commit/version/tag needs to be checked out. You can always find the used commit in the CHANGELIST file which directs to the specific commit in the release branch of the UT repository.

Everything else is a simple setup:

• Clone the repository (or use your own fork)
• Move/symlink the repository folder into the Plugins folder of your Git-repository of Unreal Tournament
• Generate the project files with the specific batch file
• Compile the solution
