Sonic Unreal Worlds Open Source release

StreakThunderstorm · Oct 21, 2014

I'm not doing 3D. Sonic Worlds is 2D and I'm keeping Sonic unreal Worlds as a sidescroller.

Hell yeah ! 2.5D here we come ! This way you can concentrate on less and get more in a since.

Yeah, porting the 2D gameplay to 3D is a project of its own. Its no easier than the step from Super Mario Physics to 2D Sonic Physics.

You guys are right. I guess I'll just work on the project by myself.

Good luck bud. I wish you leaps and bounds of progress/success.

Sonic Unreal Worlds 0.2.2 Test
http://youtu.be/4VEuaPb3KgM
https://www.mediafire.com/?nssiwakt1zlnvxk

Added scrolling camera.
Added Spindashing.
Added keyboard input.

console commands:
` - Open console
t.maxfps (number) - Lets you unlock the FPS. I've implemented Delta Time so the physics will work at all fps ranges. They break at anything below 40 though.
t.setres (number)x(number) - Lets you choose your desired resolution.

Didn't realize up till now how much I want a 2.5D Sonic game with (approximately) classic physics.

StreakThunderstorm · Oct 24, 2014

Soon it'll be completely possible!

I just added fully modular springs that automatically send you in the right direction/speed based on the angle you rotate them.

Sonic Unreal Worlds 0.3.0 Test
https://www.mediafire.com/?a13buzqngcec2cf

Added scrolling camera.
Added Spindashing.
Added keyboard input.
Added modular spring placement system. Allows you to place springs anywhere and with as little as 1-4 clicks, the spring will works completely as intended.

console commands:
` - Open console
t.maxfps (number) - Lets you unlock the FPS. I've implemented Delta Time so the physics will work at all fps ranges. They break at anything below 40 though.
t.setres (number)x(number) - Lets you choose your desired resolution.

Next on the list, running loops. Whether doing it by spline locking or changing collision layers, I'm gonna get it done.

I NEED the generations animations. I'm trying my best to get things done but I cant visualize things properly without some working animations. If anyone can help me out, I would definitely appreciate it.

The animations are bit hard to import into max. They use 2011 Havok physics and I think you need that version of max to use the scripts, However, if I can Damizean again. He might be able to help me out with something.

Added some debug commands (Controller only)
YButton - add 16 rings
BButton - Initiate ringloss

console commands:
` - Open console
t.maxfps (number) - Lets you unlock the FPS. I've implemented Delta Time so the physics will work at all fps ranges. They break at anything below 40 though.

Not bad, not bad,Streak.

StreakThunderstorm · Oct 31, 2014

Still desperately need those animations. I've exported some myself but I had a huge issue importing one of the more important ones (Spinning) so I havent changed the model to the one I've been working on yet. If anyone knows how to get the animations to import properly, I would definitely appreciate it.

SF94 · Oct 31, 2014

Have you tried Damizean's HkxReader thing? IIRC, it was the most successful method I tried the one time I even bothered.

There's some instructions here, and I've mirrored the original archive on my site here.

StreakThunderstorm · Oct 31, 2014

Maybe I'm just having horrible luck. I can't get any good results from this either.

Test 0.6
Added moving platforms, swinging platforms and treadmills. They're all 1 blueprint and have easy settings.
Added prototype swing that you can jump on, swing left or right and jump off with proper physics.

Streak, would the level sets from Sonic colors be good enough to play around with?

Why not set all the animations on a single timeline than use unreal to playback the frames for that specific animation? for example run is frames 1 - 100 and jump would be 101-200 ect ect.

Yes they would. In fact, I may change to the Sonic Colors model because it's the only one I can reliably export from the game itself.

That's not my problem at all. I just cant seem to import the generations model into maya/3dsmax.
