描述
This asset pack has been rebuilded and received a major update 1.2: walls with the possibility to enable windows on them! It's a system where you have 161 stone walls with the ability to enable one of 69 windows in each of them. It means there is over 11000 possible combinations of creating wall with window. Here's pros and cons:
you can move window across the wall - even on curved walls! Just turn on Window Mode inside wall settings and use manipulator to relocate the window
you can scale window in the wall but you have to respect uniform scale
you can put one window in one wall
you can rotate window but only in local Z axis
all material instances are now in Masked blend mode - if you don't plan to use windows in the walls, you can roll them back to Opaque blend mode
don't use Packed Level Actor (PLA) on walls with windows - use Level Instance instead; windows tech here is based on instancing, Custom Primitive Data and masked materials - those three combined don't work with PLA
you can use PLA on just plain walls, I recommend it
combining Window Mode with Despawner is not recommended - due to technical solutions you will loose wall collisions
All walls assets are children blueprint classes made from BP_StoneWall and BP_RubblePile.
You can carve/sculpt in any wall actor using 3 shapes (sphere, cube, capsule). Simply click "+" next to " Despawner" option inside actors details. Thanks to that you can easily edit any wall preserving the HISM system. Other fancy options are:
Extra Stones (use more mesh variants)
Shuffle Extra Stones (change spawn seed of the above)
Max Draw Distance (disclaimer: it's not working with NANITE)
Heavy Optimized Geometry option where meshes with x10 less tris are loaded.
Scale whole Actors up and down and the stone texture scale will be automatically adjusted.
RECOMENDATIONS:
use Heavy Optimized Geometry option when your project doesn't need insane closeups on walls
Enable NANITE on stone meshes if you can
scale walls to x1.5 on the scene - you can create entrances from scaled up windows that way
experiment with disabling some [HISM] switches inside material instances to reduce shader instructions - most of these options were created for closeups and FPP projects
