UnrealEngine4 - MMO Starter Kit 1.4

虛幻引擎MMO入門套件，一個MMO游戲盒子，可以允許任何人創建他們自己的游戲，并制作次世代效果的游戲。

I would like to present the project that I've been working on for quite some time already - MMO Starter Kit. I have been carrying the idea of an MMO kit for more than a year now, and have tried different engines and approaches, but only when I saw Unreal 4 this became a serious project for me. I believe that Unreal Blueprint system can truly allow anyone to create their own MMO game, and with the engine's next-gen graphics that game can turn out to be truly fantastic.

Anyways, let me sum up the features that are already present in the MMO kit:

• All source code included

• Fully in Blueprints. I'm an experienced programmer but Blueprints have totally won me over. The only subsystem that I had to code was the connection to the socket chat server and I made it into a plugin so it's still being accessed from Blueprints.

• Persistent storage of data in a mySQL database. Character position and stats are saved when the character logs off and restored when it enters world again.

• No third-party solution (such as Photon or RakNet) required - so no monthly fees and you are free to host your server anywhere you want. I'm hosting the demo server on Softlayer and will provide detailed instructions on how to set up a server for those who are new to dedicated servers in general.

• Registration, login and character creation.

• Authoritative server

• Launcher/autoupdater that can update the game and itself (separate application, in C#). Because you don't want to make your users download the full game over again after each minor update
  

• Combat and targeting

• Roaming NPCs that fight back and chase after the player if attacked

• Inventory and loot, droppable items

• Equipment

• Quests

• Player and NPC respawn

• Combat log

• Classic MMO controls (think World of Warcraft)

• Global, private and party chat

• UMG user interface
