The Art of Combat - Melee Combat System for the Unreal Engine

Can someone from Epic please respond to my mails? I have repeatedly sent mails for the updated versions of The Art of Combat to be put up on the Marketplace, but gotten no cogent replies from any real staff - just the answering machine. I have sent about 7 or 8 mails to these addresses since the 6th of May, 2016:

Marketplace Submit (marketplace-submit@unrealengine.zendesk.com); Epic Games (support@epicgames.zendesk.com); marketplace-submit+id35572@unrealengine.zendesk.com (marketplace-submit+id35572@unrealengine.zendesk.com); marketplace-submit+id35974@unrealengine.zendesk.com (marketplace-submit+id35974@unrealengine.zendesk.com); accounts@unrealengine.com (accounts@unrealengine.com).

Is anyone working on updating the pack yet? Have you gotten my mails? I’m kinda in the dark here, and UE4 users have been waiting for the multiplayer update for a while. It’s ready, so what’s up?

Any updates from Epic?

I must have sent mails to Epic requesting they update the Marketplace versions of The Art of Combat more than 10 times already, but no one has even replied any of my mails at all, so I’ll say no, there has been no update from Epic. I dunno why my mails are being ignored, as all I’m asking them to do is what they stated they’ll do in their contract - update the Marketplace versions as advised by the designer/author of the pack. If anyone from Epic is seeing this, please know that this is a real urgent problem, and respond as the pack needs to be updated on the Marketplace.

Good news guys! Epic finally responded and The Art of Combat with Multiplayer is now live on the Marketplace!

I hope you enjoy this release guys. Cheers!

Awesome!! My needs are more for PVP. How easy is it to implement PVP with this update? Im going to start to migrate this into my project. Should I wait for the out of the box solution?

Hi, +rioratt99.

I’ll say you should just continue your work straight instead of waiting, as it might take a while before the next update, seeing as even when I got the update ready, it took Epic so long to get it up.
Looking forward to what you do with it.

Enjoy!

Oh, and please don’t forget to rate it on the Marketplace.
Thanks guys!

Quick update: Working on updating The Art of Combat for Unreal Engine 4.12.
Hope you guys liked the Multiplayer release. :smiley:

Updated The Art of Combat for Unreal Engine 4.12.
However, multiplayer play using the dedicated server in 4.12 is laggy for some reason, so I’d recommend the 4.11 stable version for multiplayer with dedicated server usage. Apart from that, all systems are go.

Have fun. I know I am.:smiley:

Hi Maxx.
I just recently purchased your combat system and was wondering if this has been updated in the Marketplace for 4.12 yet? It still states 4.11/4.10.

Thanks,

Hi sampleDNS,
About 6 days after 4.12 was launched, I wrote to Epic informing them of the update for 4.12, but I received no acknowledgement or response to my mail. A few days ago, I resent the mail telling them to update the Marketplace version with the 4.12 version I provided, but still I have gotten no reply. I’ll resend the mail, but this is becoming sort of the norm with Epic, at least with me for some reason. My mails are simply not responded to on time. Maybe after sending it 10 times like the last update :D. So that’s the situation. I already updated it, but Epic hasn’t updated it on the Marketplace yet.

Hey guys, I just wanna say a big thank you! 51 different people have purchased The Art of Combat and I haven’t had any complaints so far - in fact the responses I have gotten have been simply amazing and encouraging. I really appreciate it. So far, only 5 have rated it, so please just take 2 seconds to rate it on the Marketplace, so other designers may also benefit from the pack.

It’s been a pleasure, and I received all the interesting requests made to improve The Art of Combat. Please continue to support me as I try harder to improve myself and my work.

Thank you!!

I’d like to give a big thanks to Maxx.

What we have here is a great jumping off point to a melee and/or ranged combat system. Without much time invested at all I can manipulate the system to be whatever type of combat that I want. So far I’m very happy with the system. I’ve tested using the stock UE skeleton with custom meshes and the results have been outstanding. This has freed up so much time for content focus and was more than worth the money.

Thanks man! Just glad it is of some use. I’m off to play Total War: Warhammer now. Come hither…young varghulf…:D:D

can you update the docs or make a new updated on how to install this please

Could you let me know which parts you have issues with, perhaps?

Xion, Just create a project and then from your vault in the launcher click on Art of War and choose to add it to the new project you just created. Open your project and it will load his test level. Next… profit?

yes I updated to the new version and it working for me thanks

Thanks for helping him out +sampleDNS.

Hope it serves useful to you +xion.

Hello guys. O genki desu ka? :stuck_out_tongue:
