Updated the project (Again xD) and created a simple example project for the new inventory system plugin:

Updates
Inventory System
The Inventory System is still a work in progress but there’s some features already implemented, and a lot of adjustments were made in the entire project.
And also, the working branch is working well with Unreal Engine 5.1 Preview 1! : )
Working with the current UE5.1 Preview 1 ver.
Branch: lucoiso/UEProject_Elementus at feature/EQUIP-26 (github.com)
As the main work branch is currently using UE5.1 Preview 1, I created a new branch working with UE5.0 to not force the use of unreal engine 5.1 as it still contains some unstable stuff: lucoiso/UEProject_Elementus at feature/EQUIP-26-UE5_0 (github.com)
Do you have an overview on how Project Elements works with a Lyra-inspired workflow?
Sorry, I haven’t explored Lyra very well so I can’t really answer how it would work. :S

Better choice is gitlab to unreal engine, because has more space to free accounts 5gb
To use github needs pay or get some pro account.

Oops. In the last few days, I was talking to GitHub support to reduce the consumed LFS storage quota (because the project was consuming way more than necessary and they only provide 1gb of Git LFS quota for free), in the process I forgot to buy 1 additional data pack. xD
Now, the project is currently consuming only 183 MB and there is bandwidth quota available, the problem must have been fixed!
You can now clone the project and use the command to initialize the plugins that are added as submodules:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Thanks for responding that fast. Build with ue5.1 source, works great. Thanks! That said, here is some constructive criticism. I am not a fan of enumeration to set abilities. Valley of the Ancient Tech Showcase had a great way to add abilities to an actor with input mapping and input actions. A pretty good explanation: [UE5] Episode 08 - Modular Gameplay Features (Abilities) | Gameplay Ability System Basics - YouTube . His github project is in the description below his video. All credit to: Leonard Parisi Keep up the good work! I hope the little github injection also helps

That looks great!
I’m currently using a plugin I created during Unreal 5’s Early Access (UEModularFeatures_ExtraActions), but unfortunately, I haven’t added any relevant updates until then. I’ll start working more on this plugin and apply some similar things to improve usability, including the choice to use or not enums. : )
Started working on Modular Features - Extra Actions update by adding new options to manage ability bindings and also created a new settings page.
Still a work in progress, but has an open progress in these branches:
- Project Elementus: v0.6.2a (github.com)
- Plugin Repository: v1.2.0 (github.com)
Seems like the plugins are going to get more love from epic themself. We should tell them we love the modular gamefeatures and gameplay!

Disabling MetaSounds and re-creating the sound sources to replace UMetaSoundSources will sadly fix this.

Some upcoming changes
They’re already in the development branch.
Pull request: #44
UMG ViewModel
New feature that came with UE5.1: UMG Viewmodel | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation
The project’s HUD is already using ViewModels to update the attributes:
Note: Also created this conversion function: To Current/Max Text (Float).
Specific Project Settings
Moved and added some options to Project Settings:
MetaSound removal
Unfortunately MetaSound was causing problems. : (
The packaged game wasn’t initializing due to unregistered MetaSound’s interfaces. Maybe it’s an incompatibility when referencing metasound sources in objects that are inside a Modular Game Feature. : /
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source.OneShot v1.0]
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source v1.1]
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.OutputFormat.Stereo v1.0]
Already sent a bug report to epic games.
Before merging these changes into the main branch, I’ll look for some new features that could be added to this project and will adjust existing items that can be improved in this project.
But you can always see how the things are going: UEProject_Elementus (github.com)
About the issue that was occurring with MetaSounds (removed from the project in the development branch):
When referencing a MetaSound source in a blueprint that is in a Modular Game Feature with default state set to Active, the packaged game doesn’t start. The game freezes with a black screen and the last log calls are:
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source.OneShot v1.0]
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source v1.1]
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.OutputFormat.Stereo v1.0]
I’ve sent a bug report to Epic’ team and they confirmed the issue. You can track the status here: Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-170838)
I was using MetaSound sources in some Gameplay Abilities to produce ability sound. The development branch is now using Sound Cues and have metasounds disabled to avoid this problem.
MetaSounds will be re-added to the project when Unreal’ team fix this. : )
