New update submitted to Epic for Generic Shooter on 1/1/2016.
This update currently released. Be sure to select 4.10 or later in the launcher Create Project dialog.
Cathartic Crouton Changelist:
-Change: Entire 3D UI system has been ripped out and replaced with a much better and easier to use 2D UI
-Change: Mobile and Desktop main menu paths merged together, only one main menu exists for desktop and mobile platforms now
-Change: Did a deep animation pass and fixed many of the 4.7->4.8 animation issues. Made more placeholder animations. 1P weapons now are perfectly centered when aiming down sight when using offsets of 0,0,0.
-Change: Minor performance optimizations across the board
-Change: Improved asset file naming conformity (especially regarding animations)
-Feature: Very much improved support for programmatic addition of Game Mode settings in the main menu UI (Tutorial coming soon)
-Feature: Exposed “Prefer Third Person” to main menu settings
-Feature: BP_Deathmatch (therefore all game modes) now has settings to control whether player nametags are visible
-Feature: Basic jumping is now supported ‘out of the box’
-Feature: Fall damage
-Bugfix: Unintentional vertical 1P jittering
-Bugfix: Grenade Launcher explosion hitch related to obscure but reproducible Garbage Collection bug in core Engine
-Bugfix: Empty sound cue VolumeTesting_SFX
-Bugfix: Clients only see one impact for shotguns instead of scattered impacts (Client shotgun scattered impacts are now implemented but are only approximated to save bandwidth)
-Bugfix: Looped weapon fire sound cues and muzzle flashes replicate incorrectly
-Bugfix: Clients’ auto reload is not in sync
-Bugfix: Animation speed issues on clients, clients’ run animations play at a faster rate than intended
-Bugfix: Rocket projectiles are not rotated correctly on clients
-Bugfix: LAN shows Online Games and Online Games shows LAN with Steam subsystem enabled
-Bugfix: Dedicated servers don’t properly clean themselves up after round end
I have made the decision to remove the 3D UI entirely and not offer support for it in an additional download. Support for it would be too costly to maintain. I’m sorry. If you want to keep the 3D UI, I recommend not grabbing this update when it comes out, however I strongly believe that if you try the new UI, you’ll like it much much more than the old clanky 3D UI.
