The new version is live on the demo server and available for purchase at Sellfy! :slight_smile: Build notes:

Ported to Unreal Engine 4.10

You will need the new release of UE4 from GitHub to work with the updated kit.

Party mechanics

Players can now invite one another to form a group. Group members’ names and health are displayed under your character’s health bar. Group leader can invite more players or kick players from the group. Disconnected players are automatically removed from the group.

Group commands: /invite <name>, /leave, / kick <name>

Private and group chat

/w <name> <message> can be used to send a private message
/p <message> sends a message to all group members

Testing in PIE with 2 different characters simultaneously

You can now test the game in PIE by playing as characters with id 0 and 1 from your database. To do this, just set the number of players to 2 and make sure that “dedicated server” is checked.

  • the position of text over the characters’ head is now correct when playing on low resolutions
