Getting Started with Unreal Development Kit Part 2 - UDK Tutorial

[jochemlol]

I can't get to wield weapons, nor see health, or a targetting thingy, nor see my char when driving a vehicle :S

[WaterBladeNinja]

is it possible to make a muitplay game on UDK

[Inuyasha47]

Hey how do you bring out the weapon you put into the world?

[deadwalkin12345]

i have a problem, it doesnt seem like my player wants to use the weapon

[2866500]

is it possible to make ur own skins, own levels, own characters like spyro in udk... and ofcorse own movement... or is it just editing the original game...

[thehomelessman]

Is it possible to create your own textures, objects, etc?

[Chmelewsky]

You are awesome! Thanks for making these!

[fpb221985]

Did you learn by reading through the documents given by the UDK, or on your own? I'm debating on which would be quicker but better.

[KARKGAARA]

Well Raven I have a question... When I put the weaponsfactory and the vehicle, i have three problems...

1º - I don't begin with a weapon;

2º - I catch the weapon but i can't see it or shoot it;

3º - I can't use the vehicle for nothing, i can't get in...

If you're seeing this and now how to solve my problems, can you please tell me?

[AbuAlyooth]

@KARKGAARA hey, save as DM-whatever you want

that mgiht fix everything

your welcome :)

[ozkillator]

@KARKGAARA

Go to View / World Properties / Game Type / Set Default Game type to UTGame or something, ... Guns and hud appear :-)

for the vehicle, i'm still looking myself lol

[thebubba12100]

@ozkillator Thanks. I had to set it to UTDeathmatch to work. I was wondering why the weps and HUD weren't appearing. What's your problem with vehicle? I just right clicked and added and pressed E to get in.

[SteveAllaben]

How do you get to actor classes with the latest UDK?

View has just Actor Properties.

Thumbs up so he can see this

[Gammusbert]

@SteveAllaben Go to view and it should be right under content browser

[TheSqueezedLemon]

[HASHlRAMA]

1 quesiton:

[reudy1971]

[NuclearCarrot94]

[camerzerowyn]

PLEASE HELP! Whenever I put a mesh into a scene, like a decoration or something, it turns up completely black! I don't know how to fix it!

[SupermassiveRais]

@camerzerowyn when you put a new iten/decor into ur level, re-build the lighting and hey presto , play ya level and it shoudl appear in texture form :)

[SupermassiveRais]

@camerzerowyn re-build lighting when u inset a new object.

[Nick87F]

Off topic but, dude, you sound exactly like I do when talking on a microphone!

You have no idea how freaky that is to hear yourself, except it's not you 0.o

Anyway, kick ass tutorial!

[ChrisR33GTS]

[pwn00bz4ever]

Is there someway to get this working in UT3 editor?

[RenegadeOfSociety]

[IIZODIIAC]

[RenegadeOfSociety]

[Babbelberg]

[MSummoner]

There is a slight change in the 11-2010 version of UDK vehicles are listed under their own category.

[zwerty007]

[CokeDannii]

When I'm making the floor it makes a cube o-o

[GuitarHeroRulez321]

Epic tutorial, thanks a bunch Raven!

[sniperownsuhard]

raven thank you SO much for this one! i have been dieing to find out how to just make a level were i can screw around in a vehicle!

[DanteLovesPizza]

Hi,

I'm wondering, with the sky dome, is it possible to change to one of the materials provided with the Sky package, like you could in UE3? If so, how?

Thanks,

From Dante

[thewardogsquadron]

for me it all ways says lighting needs to be rebult but i dont no how i did wat u did

[reinvideos]

Raven, please make a tutorial on how to add your own weapons and characters to UDK..

can u send me mail too if u reply me.

[jhorsfield3]

Excellent video, thanks

[SeCALPHA1]

Three things, Raven:

1) Stop using FRAPS

2) Level tut would be very useful if in one AVI/video file

3) keep up the awesome work!

[raven67854]

I am not using FRAPS for the Tutorials SeCALPHA1. FRAPS would be terrible for the tutorials themselves since it can only lock to a window. When I went to test it wouldn't work well at all. However my tests like my fracture test. I used FRAPS for that works fine. Get 60 FPS even when I record. Level tutorial would be nice if I could put it all up in youtube. I don't really feel like hosting any of the media files for download.

[pokemaniac7654]

@raven67854 actually vista and 7 allow fraps to record desktop

[awesomeness4441]

@raven67854 is this 2 or 3

[ATDOINFERNO]

@raven67854 I even tried downloading video tutorials from Epic themselves, but - I don't know why - it's slower than a dial-up connection. I'm talking about a ~645MB zip file video collection. Fortunately, there are your videos; very helpful indeed. =)

[Rajivkrijnen]

@raven67854 Fraps can record your windows desktop, look for a check box called 'monitor DWM' or something. Thanks for the tut.

[JungleAim]

@raven67854 fraps is awsome dont hate

[xXxAshersxXx]

@SeCALPHA1

1. The video quality is absolutely fine and he's very clear.

2. Use a downloader to download this video.

3. Helpful!

[TheBlackVikingPro]

@SeCALPHA1 hes using camtasia !!!!!!!!

[xld3000]

thanks i was wondering how to do the sky. keep making vids raven, it helps a lot. Do you think that eventually you could do a tutorial of making a level from start to finish. something small and basic. please?

[raven67854]

So what you want me to make a small quick level with me just talking? Because the getting started videos do show how to make the level you just have to be creative :). I guess I can make a really long 1 hour tutorial on me making a level from start to finish and me just talking to you guys along the way.

[xld3000]

basically, a small but polished level from beginning to end, kinda like the sample level that comes with the UDK, I just wanna know how to make that if you know. from start to finish. I am watching all your videos right now as practice. I you were up to the task, I think doing a tutorial like that would be so wonderful, I know that it takes forever but it was just a request.

[raven67854]

Well I got started on making a nice simple lvl. I am just sorta talking to you guys as I do it Making a nice sorta big lvl on part 2 of however many it takes. Also explaining some stuff along the way. I will upload it probably sometime tomorrow.

[gordon1201]

Just wondering, How do you make a standalone game? Is there a base source code (with examples etc) available that comes with UDK?

[raven67854]

Yes there are a few base sources that come with the UDK. Also sorry for the delayed response.

[gordon1201]

Thanks for the response :)

[raven67854]

No problem sorry it took so damn long. I never saw the post.

[AlbinoJedi]

if you know how, could you show how to create your own vehicles and guns? and i have seen that it seems like you have to make custom meshes in 3ds max; does 3ds max come with udk?

[raven67854]

Possibly in the future. Also 3ds max is a $3,500 program from Autodesk. So it won't be coming to UDK anytime soon sadly.

[AlbinoJedi]

do you know how i could create my own meshes without spending that much money? i want to be able to create my own games and scenarios in udk without just using the sample pre-made meshes.

[raven67854]

You can use the XSI mod tools instead of 3ds Max.

[charginmahlob]

Haha very unlikely ;) Autodesk basicly have monopoly on the current 3d application. I would recomend that AlbinoJedi gets the studen trial verision for free. Its kinda limited but it will get you started with modelling.

Took me allmost 3-4 year to learn how to model and its kinda harsh in the beginning, but there is lots of tutorials for newbies on youtube aswell as other sites.

[raven67854]

Well Autodesk does own 3ds Max. And if you can't afford 3ds Max or Maya you can use the XSI Mod tools. Although I have never been able to learn XSI only blender and 3ds max. Oh and XSI Mod Tools are free.

[AlbinoJedi]

i currently have 3d autocad 2008. how would that work? and do the XSI tools come with UDK and how are they for making things for UDK compared to 3ds max? thanks

[raven67854]

You should be able to export to collada or ASCII Scene file form autocad 2008. I haven't used so I am not 100% sure on that but I am pretty sure it supports one of the two. XSI does not come with unreal however if you do a quick google search you can find it. And 3ds Max or XSI would both be fine for making models. Just depends on user preference.
