What's the largest landscape size the MMO starter kit can support?
Is the styling of the menus and inventory system customizable - Different colors, different sized buttons etc. ?
Your MMO engine sounds really interesting, but I have a few questions for you before getting it.
Basically, my project is a MMO that needs to work in a persistent open world, with FPS shooting controls (non-targeted attacking), and map modification by players (placing/removing game elements on the ground. Maybe some voxels but not mandatory), with basic inventory and crafting.
I'm a developer so I don't mind modifying the C++. I'd just like to know if your engine would be a good fit for that sort of project.
Also, what is your server architecture? Is it scalable? Can I like, put it in the cloud or something?
Is this for free ?

RynoCoder33, yes you can go totally FPS or Moba style. I added FinalCamera to MMOKit.
It was a bit of a test of patience to merge MMOKit player controller with FinalCamera player controller but I got it working so i can toggle at run-time between zoomable FPS, 3P, topdown and also topdown scrolling margins (which is kinda like a Moba cam).
Rene Czachs wrote the FinalCamera blueprint and it's way cheap. The only trouble integrating to MMokit, or any project I guess, is the merging part and making sure character/pawn references are all ok, but it just took some patience copying and re-linking variables.

But at work we use Slack after Skype was down far a day.
We have integrated bugsnag to monitor exceptions and jenkins to monitor build status and we really like Slack.
It's easy to create as many closed/open groups as you like.
Originally posted by CodeSpartan View PostI suppose you could rewrite the php scripts, but it'll take some time. Personally, if they were in a language I'm not familiar with (for me it's python), I'd still leave them as is and learn to read them. There's no complex stuff there. If you do choose to rewrite them, make sure you find a good alternative to php 5 password hashing in your language of choice.
I'm worried about how much code i want to/must merge after each KIT update release.
And do i need to update VaRest JsonBlueprints also or could i just same endpoints in Java as PHP?Last edited by asaarnak; 10-25-2015, 05:57 AM.

Instead of "CastToCharacter" you cast to the ChildNPC directly. If it fails you cast to another one.
This could look like this:
This doesnt give each Npc custom walk speed. Just the class.Last edited by Minaosis; 10-28-2015, 08:51 AM.

Just wanted to let people know that this compiled perfectly for a Linux dedicated server following the normal cross compile instructions for Windows/Linux using 4.10 preview2.
One thing to be aware of is you need to permit port 80 http traffic or at least for me the server would crash with httpmanager errors on clients joining.Last edited by Daniel Skipper Games; 10-30-2015, 11:01 AM.

Its worth every cent, everything is easy customization, UMGS, Animations i have been using it for a week i have no skills in coding just bps and i can see light at the end of the tunnel for my project. the way it is set up once you grasp the basic structure it makes so much sense. just dive in buy it.

hello. I have asked next question allready at Codespartan, but now i want users experiences about mmo starter kit. I am rookie for unreal and my group target is to make mmo game. We have already make 3 planets/terrain, 5 characters and 5 spaceships. Kit is very good basic i think, but is it easy and how easy to add my own terrain/planets and characters to mmo starter kit? and is there in documents advises about that? I need databases,servers,animations,controllers etc, but levels i allready have
and other important question is that i now a little about blueprint coding, but the database stuff is new for me. So if i buy this packet do i first need to get some database and webserver which include php 5.5 that i could modify my project and is there free webservers/databases? this is maybe the most hardest think to me. And other important thing i have visual studio 2015 and i have read somewhere that unreal doesn't support that version so have i to download visual studio 2013???Last edited by tero83; 10-31-2015, 04:32 AM.
