Game Development Notes

site build:
site live: ikrima.dev
site repo: github.com/ikrima/gamedevguide

Wut is this

These are my personal notes from the past 4 years that I'm transforming from our internal dev onboarding guide.

I'm aiming to process about one section a day since the conversion from onenote/evernote/confluence is lossy and needs a final human pass to clean up little niggles.

Site Build Instructions

• Originally built with gatsby, migrating to mkdocs
• My notes related to the webdev of the site are in the gitrepo/docs folder
• Webdev is pita. I never use the live site anymore so ymmv; your best bet experience is cloning and opening locally
  • I use and ✨ recommend ✨ obsidian; no affiliation, it's just free, fast, sparks joy with zero setup (just open the notes folder)
  • foam or vscode are also great alternatives
  • or for the lazy, vscode.dev//gamedevguide or github.dev//gamedevguide

Programmatically feeding UE's reflection system?

I just found your article about the reflection system and it's a good starting point for a research I am doing for making Rust available in UE. I just would like to ask you: Do you know if there is any way to programmatically feed the reflection system? Something like this:

UCLASS()
class AExample : public AActor
{
	GENERATED_BODY()	
public:
	AExample ();

	// THIS IS COMMENTED OUT UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
	float Speed = 1.0f;
};

AExample::AExample() {
  ReflectionSystem::AddProperty(&Speed, "EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite");
}

Where to find Utility/reconcile.py p4retypemap ?

Context: https://bebylon.dev/ue4guide/source-control/perforce-source-version-control-setup/

References a Utility for retypemapping files, where does this live? I'd like to use it.

Thanks!

Help With Custom OSS Setup

Hi @ikrima ,
Came across your custom OSS guide found here: https://ikrima.dev/ue4guide/networking/online-subsystem/using-multiple-custom-online-subsystems/

I found myself in a similar situation. We would like to setup a custom OSS to handle Oculus, Pico, Steam subsystems, ... I'm finding it difficult to start, I was hoping I can pick your brain on how to go about setting this up.

Is creating a new OnlineSubSystem class the idea? Inheriting from Epic's OnlineSubSystem.h

Last pull request breaks the build

@Matthaios - looks like gatsby build process failing bc document/window isn't defined available from these pull requests

SidebarContext.js: const el = document.querySelector('.ant-menu-item-selected');
&& const getAllKeys = function(tree, keys)
