Hello, comrades. I want to annonce new plugin for unreal engine 4 (version 4.19 and later) wich adding support for background levels and instanced levels. This is will be usefull if you want create realy big world for players or multiroom game session or you have problem whis dynamic actors scale (like X-Rebirth ships interriors render)
Plugin for now in havy development and not support network or actors cross world travels. Also have some Editor only bugs (like tick issue in PIE).
for now it only tested for cross level render captures (offscene renderer) . On a screenshot, Default level rendered throw render Target texture on plain placed on Root Empty level with every Tick updates. In future this plane can be used as portal.
Major issue for now it is a Editor. While PIE, background levels can not ticks.
I will upload a sample project based on the 3td Person template, when I find a way to fix bugs in the editor and implement the basic actor transfer system.
In 2 words: I have project with Galaxy Simulation wich has support multiplayer and procedural build by server seed. Game have several generation laуers (Galaxy, Solar System, Planet orbit). This plugin can simplified process of world composing and solve floating point problem. We just cut full sized world by layers (like standard World Composing do), but placing levels not into Persistent Level as slaves but as Independed levels and switch Viewport then needed.
Physics replication seems to be fixed. However, more tests are needed. Especially i do not sure how it react to the change world translation while gameplay
Actors transltation from world to world are now working correctly.
Now all that remains is to solve the problem with NetCullDistance and implement Attachment replication.
And I still can’t figure out how to implement auto-unload triggering, according to the PersistentLevel`s EndPlay Event.
After solving these issues (except for unloding), I think it will be possible to assemble the module as a plugin and put it on the market.
NetCullDistance behavior was fixed.
Added ReplicationGraph as default replication driver (for now just for the testing purpose. Will be replaced later).
Added new ReplicationGraph with Domain replication policy (only Public domain implemented for now)
NetCullDistance has experemental fix (but still got some problems if RelatedWorld was loaded very far away from global zero)
Demo project was updated
Domain replication policy is a policy whereby actors are replicated to clients according to the domain of the world they are on.
There are 3 domains:
Public: replication occurs to any client
Private: replication occurs only to clients that are in the same worlds. In this case, actors in the Public Domain are also replicated.
Isolated: Replication occurs exclusively to clients in this world. The public domain is ignored.
