Project Elementus v0.8.0a
First Release w/ Elementus Modules!
About
Project Elementus was intended to be a third person template that can be used to start projects that will use some new features that come with Unreal Engine 5 as well as powerful existing features like the Gameplay Ability System and others. And now, Project Elementus was turned into a sample project and all its content was moved to a new plugin! :)
As a plugin, it is easier to organize, update and insert the content into already existing projects, facilitating maintenance and usability.
This plugin has it's own repository where you can check it for more details: https://github.com/lucoiso/UEElementusModules

Project Elementus v0.7.0a
Pull Request: v0.7.0a by @lucoiso in #45
Features
UMG ViewModel
New feature that came with UE5.1: https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/umg-viewmodel/
The project's HUD is already using ViewModels to update the attributes:
Note: Also created this conversion function: To Current/Max Text (Float).
Specific Project Settings
Moved and added some options to Project Settings:
MetaSound removal
Unfortunately MetaSound was causing problems. : (
The packaged game wasn't initializing due to unregistered MetaSound's interfaces. Maybe it's an incompatibility when referencing metasound sources in objects that are inside a Modular Game Feature. : /
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source.OneShot v1.0]
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source v1.1]
LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.OutputFormat.Stereo v1.0]
Bug report: https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-170838
What's Changed
- Add GAS Attribute ViewModels to HUD

Project Elementus v0.6.5a
Pull request: #38
Changes
- Change WriteAchievements to IngestEOSStats, allowing multiple stats update at same time
- Remove CPU access from Static Mesh
- Change ability audio to reference an audio data structure
- Move shared audio sources to game content
- Remove metasounds requirement from modular plugins
Known issue
- Packaged game is currently not working. The executable freezes with a black screen and the last log call are:
[2022.10.30-19.04.21:268][ 0]LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source.OneShot v1.0]
[2022.10.30-19.04.21:271][ 0]LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.Source v1.1]
[2022.10.30-19.04.21:271][ 0]LogMetaSound: Error: Target interface is not registered [InterfaceVersion:UE.OutputFormat.Stereo v1.0]
This problem is occurring since UE5.1 Preview 1. I'm still investigating and sent a bug report to Unreal Engine. 😖
Disabling MetaSounds and re-creating the sound sources to replace UMetaSoundSources will sadly fix this.

Development Release - Project Elementus v0.6.0a - UE5.0
Note
This isn't a complete version.
Future versions will be developed for UE5.1
This is the last update for UE5.0:
From: #27
I've decided to move the entire project to UE5.1 instead adding a full support to continue using all new features that are coming with the newer engine versions.
With "full support" I mean that this project is a template to use only when is initializing a new project because each new project will have their specific assets/classes/objects and every asset inside this project are examples or came from the engine, you don't need them for your game/simulation.
And as the backend is being developed fully in C++, you'll have the same code to use with previous versions after doing some tweaks (older versions will require hard tweaks as this project born in UE5.0 Early Access) and will lost only the assets (examples and engine files like character mesh, animation, etc.)
Other reasons:
- This project born with the intend to use the newer features from the Engine since UE5.0 Early Access 1 and will continue to use the latest releases.
- Git LFS generate costs (and this is a free project xD). Using only 1 version of this project will reduce the size of the repository.
- Some things change from a version to another, to add support to more than one version, will need to add macros in the code to tell the compiler to use a specific block of code and this could make reading worse and bring unnecessary code to projects that are born from this template.
- Blueprints and other assets from different UE versions can take up twice as much space or more, as Git differentiates binary files as totally different (Increasing Git LFS cost).
