Version 1.4​

info

Unreal Engine 5.2 users will no longer receive plugin updates.

Features​

  • Overflow Handling: Implemented overflow handling for items to better manage item capacities.
  • Equipment Replication: Improved equipment replication between clients and the server, including callbacks for linking animation layers and playing montages.
  • Container Access Permissions: Added container access permissions and streamlined user registration logic.
  • Attachment System Update: Moved the attachment widget to a new full-screen menu to enable dynamic item combining.
  • Sorting Functionality:
    • Added a sorting order parameter for improved customization.
    • Introduced two new sorting options: Sort by Type and Sort by Quantity.
  • Item Details Menu: Added a new menu for viewing detailed information about items, potentially replacing tooltip widgets.

Improvements​

  • Improved Input Detection: Enhanced input detection for slot context menus, attachment menus, and all split stack operations.
  • Naming Changes:
    • Updated attachment-related names for clarity:
      • Attachments → Attachment Slots.
      • Default Attachments → Startup Attachments.
    • Renamed tasks for better understanding:
      • DetachItems → DetachAllItems.
      • TransferItems → TransferAllItems.
  • Item Definition Updates:
    • Removed mesh and material selection options from the world fragment in item definitions. These should now be configured directly in the world item actor or a shared world item actor class.

  • Equipment Mesh Interface:
    • Created an interface to retrieve equipment meshes from character classes, allowing support for varying meshes.
    • Added a function to fetch meshes by tag using existing component tags across all actor components.

Bug Fixes​

  • Hotbar Callback: Fixed the OnActiveSlotChanged Blueprint callback to provide both the active slot and the last observed slot, as the previous pin name implied the wrong behavior.
  • Ability Duplication: Fixed an issue where abilities granted by equipment were not revoked properly and were being duplicated upon re-granting.

Maintenance​

  • Removed the common properties data asset to simplify item configuration.
  • Streamlined world item configurations to allow for unique or shared item actors as appropriate.

Improvements​

  • Enhanced Client-side Detection: Improved the detection of container changes on the client side, ensuring smoother interactions and responsiveness.
  • Clearer Blueprint Event Naming: Renamed Blueprint events to be more descriptive and easier to understand, enhancing readability and usability.
  • Subsystem Refactor: Changed the gameplay container subsystem to a local player subsystem, improving its performance and organization.
