Assets Guide

Alles was Sie über Assets wissen müssen

Assets in nanos world are all objects or content which come from Unreal Engine. For example Maps, StaticMeshes, SkeletalMeshes, Sounds, Particles, Blueprints etc are all types of Assets.

In order to use custom Assets in your servers, for example to spawn a Prop, or a custom Weapon you must have an Asset Pack. Asset-Packs sind eine Sammlung von Assets die zusammen aus Unreal exportiert wurden.

Ordnerstruktur

All Asset Packs go under the server's Assets/ directory. Jedes Asset Pack ist ein Ordner unter diesem.

Note

Asset Packs downloaded when connecting to servers or downloaded from the vault will be stored in server's Assets/ directory as well!

This is an example of a server Assets folder:

Server Folder

NanosWorldServer.exe
Assets/
├── my-asset-pack-01/
│   ├── MyAsset_01.uasset
│   ├── MyAsset_02.uasset
│   ├── MyBigMap.umap
│   │    ...
│   └── Assets.toml
├── awesome-weapons/
│   ├── BigFuckingGun.uasset
│   │   ...
│   └── Assets.toml
Packages/
Config.toml

Assets Pack-Konfiguration

Asset Packs haben eine Konfigurationsdatei im Stammverzeichnis des Asset Pack-Ordners, genannt Assets. oml, in dieser Datei können wir alle relevanten Einstellungen für das Asset Pack einrichten:

Assets.toml

loading...

See full example on GitHub

Einstellungen detailliert

See a description of what each setting does:

Einstellung	Beschreibung
title	Friendly name
autor	Contributor(s)
version	Version - in the SemVer format X.Y.Z
unreal.unreal_folder	Name des Wurzelordners im Unreal Projekt, das diese Dateien exportiert hat. This is important so the Assets can keep the relative references correctly
unreal.unreal_version	Version at which this Asset Pack was created
unreal.is_plugin_content	If this Asset Pack is Plugin Content
assets.maps	Liste der Karten in diesem Asset-Paket
assets.static_gitter	Liste der statischen Netze in diesem Asset Pack
assets.skelette_gitter	Liste der Skelett-Netze in diesem Asset Paket
assets.sounds	Liste der Töne in diesem Asset Pack
assets.animations	Liste der Animationen in diesem Asset Pack
assets.particles	List of Particles in this Asset Pack
assets.materials	List of Materials in this Asset Pack
assets.blueprints	List of Blueprints in this Asset Pack
vermögen.others	Liste anderer Assets in diesem Asset Pack

Asset Meta Data

It is possible to define custom Meta Data for each individual Asset!

Besides defining the Asset Path by string, like this:

Assets.toml

[assets.static_meshes]
    SM_Flower_01 = "MyFolder/SM_Awesome_Flower_01"
    SM_Rock_01 = "MyFolder/SM_Rock_01"
    SM_MyAsset_01 = "MyFolder/SM_MyAsset_01"
    # ...

We can also define them as a table, allowing custom values - which can be accessed through scripting:

Assets.toml

[assets.static_meshes]
    SM_Flower_01 = { path = "MyFolder/SM_Awesome_Flower_01", my_tag = "Wonderful", something = 123, thumbnail = "Thumbnails/SM_Flower_01.jpg" }
    SM_Rock_01 = { path = "MyFolder/SM_Rock_01", my_tag = "Wonderful", something = 123, thumbnail = "Thumbnails/SM_Rock_01.jpg" }
    SM_MyAsset_01 = { path = "MyFolder/SM_MyAsset_01", my_tag = "Wonderful", something = 123, thumbnail = "Thumbnails/SM_MyAsset_01.jpg" }
    # ...

tip

The path key is required, all other values are optional and customizable, use as you wish!

Logo Image

It is possible to have a custom image to be displayed in the Vault. For that, add a file called Assets.jpg besides the Assets.toml with the image you wish. The recommended size is 300x150.

Verweise auf Assets im Skripting

To be able to use Assets in your code, first you have to ensure that the Asset Pack is loaded. An Asset Pack is loaded when:

1. A map is loaded (this will make it's Asset Pack to be loaded automatically).
2. A package with it configured in assets_requirements is loaded.
3. It is manually set in Server's Config.toml at assets to load.

With the Asset Pack loaded, you can refer to it's assets using the following pattern:

"[ASSET_PACK_PATH]::[ASSET_KEY]"

Example:

"my-asset-pack-01::SM_Cube"

Notiz

[ASSET_PACK_PATH] is the folder name and [ASSET_KEY] is the key defined in the Assets.toml.

Arten von Assets

Some scripting methods require some specific Type of Assets to load. Attempting to load an invalid or wrong type will cause an Error. Bsp.: Zeichen: SetMesh() benötigt ein Asset vom Typ Skelett-Netz.

Here's a list of all supported Asset types:

Type	Beschreibung
Karte	Eine unechte Motorkarte/-ebene
Statisches Netz	Unreal statische Netze können verwendet werden, um Netze für Props und StaticMeshes zu laden
Skelettnetzwerk	Unechte Skelettnetze können verwendet werden, um Netze für Charaktere und Fahrzeuge zu laden
Sound	Unechte Sounds zum Laden von Sounds
Particle	Unreal Particles can be used for settings in several entities, including Particle Class itself
Animation	Unreale Animationen können für Einstellungen in Charakter und Waffen verwendet werden
Material	Unreal Materials can be used for customizing meshes surfaces and used as Post Process
Blueprint	Unreal Actor Blueprints can be used for spawning Blueprint entities
