Documentation

Nelson's 4.0 modding info page :)

Designing this for personal reference as well as modder reference, so it will be consistently up-to-date. This is not done

Sorry for the mess Molton hehe

• Rail systems
• Creating meshes + animations: Denizen setup
• Wearables
• Inventory (Item menu builders)
• Interaction
• Props

Notes

• All static meshes should be inside blueprints, even if they do not require additional data.
• Normal maps are not currently being used.
• Animating meshes inside of Unreal Engine is acceptable.
• Public access to the car mesh, alongside proper car documentation, will be released sometime soon.
• Building LODs are being created manually. For anything else, if the results are good enough with Unreal's automatic LOD generation then that is suitable.
• All mods should have a top-level folder for its content similar to how Unturned II's content is stored in a top-level folder named "UE4".
• Roads and tunnels are built using splines. Static meshes are used for road intersections.
• Most objects should only need two LODs.
• Unturned II will have no visually openable containers except for a few specific static props.
• Destructible props are planned.
