4.5

Notable Changes

• Reintroduced camera system: implemented as a component similar to the standard camera component, no need for custom APlayerCameraManager or APlayerController classes, but additional configuration within the C++ character class and character blueprint is required (see AAlsCharacterExample class and BP_Als_Character blueprint).
• Reintroduced camera shake animation notify.
• Added new debug mode categories for the camera:
  • Traces: Shift + 6, or ShowDebug ALS.CameraCurves.
  • Mantling: Shift + 7, or ShowDebug ALS.CameraShapes.
  • Mantling: Shift + 8, or ShowDebug ALS.CameraTraces.

Skeleton

• Renamed the TransitionsAllowed animation curve to AllowTransitions.

Character

• Improved networked movement by including more dynamic movement variables directly into the movement component.
• Replaced bRotateToVelocityOnJump and bBlockAimingWhenInAir settings with InAirRotationMode and bAllowAimingWhenInAir respectively.
• Moved the AAlsCharacterExample class to the ALSExample module.
• Updated key bindings.

Locomotion Actions

• Improved handling of mantling, rolling, and ragdolling start when they are initiated by the server.

Footstep Effects

• Added support for decals and particle effects in footstep animation notify.
• Added footstep effects to roll animation.

Other

• Replaced FMath::*InterpTo() functions with UAlsMath::ExponentialDecay() in some important places for better frame rate independence.
• Removed unused sounds.
