Topic: Loading Characters from Server

Hi,

I was hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction for how best to load characters from web resources?

Ideally I construct and host character files on my server, and can load them dynamically (along with other character data expected in the global config for each character).

Seems most doc's I've found to navigate the source are talking about the players already active in a game, not so much for changing the characters you can select prior to entering the game.

Hope someone can help! First time posting in this forum. Thank you!

Re: Loading Characters from Server

Something like that has less to do with UFE itself and more on how you want to handle your game data.

If you are talking about character DLC, read these as there are some pre-set mechanics that can help with partial downloads and updates to games:

If you are talking specifically about which data can be dynamically loaded, you could look into hosting specific files that makes up a character, like the 3D model, the character asset, move set asset, or any (if not all) the animations.
Web resources is certainly a wide topic with many different approaches. There are no simple answers.
