Tutorial CRYENGINE – How to extract files from unencrypted PAK files | Getting Started

I cover the basics of a pak file and how to extract the contents and place them in the game folder directory.

CRYENGINE – One of the most powerful game development platform is now available to everyone. Full engine source code.  Join us over at http://www.cryengine.com

My version of the transcript

Pak file can be extracted, basically zip files, it’s optimized.

-How to open it up ? What to do after ?

I can use 7-Zip (www.7zip.org) in 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. I can open with right click with 7-Zip (open archive)

It can be extracted. And the content can be read.

Tutorial Unity3D Third-person shooter (TPS) with Emerald AI 3.0 Melee AI Game Design Document (GDD) Compliance with 2022.3.5f1

Updating manually from the deprecated version generate errors (that I want to avoid).

Solution : beginning from nothing but the GDD.

import

• Import ai (Emerald ai 3)
• Import model (woman 01 with helmet – anaconda)
• Import camera and controler (invector)

Configuration

• Import project settings

Creation :

• Folder “my project” on root
• My melee combat (copy past from emerald ai)

Deletion

• Main camera (Fly) (Position -3, 4, -20)

Creation again :

• Invector > shooter > create shooter controller (select anaconda)

Configuration again :

• Position (-3, 4, -20)

Insert :

• Weapon from (not from prefab) : Hive > Shooter_Hive > ShooterFeatures > Inventory_Collectables (vCollectibleAssaultRifle with position z=-18)

The following : https://github.com/Black-Horizon-Studios/Emerald-AI/wiki/Invector-Integration-Tutorial

Configure : Tag and layer

• In Inspector : tag “grenadier” must be defined as “enemy”
• The hero: he should be a “Player” layer and a tag “player”. (vShooterController_Woman_01_With_Helmet_04)
• In “detection and tags” > in tag faction options > in tag options > emerald unity tag: “Enemy” and “detection layers” select “player” and “enemy”. -> Now the grenadier can detect and try to attack the player.

Now the grenadier must be aggressive toward the player.

Setting up the player ‘s Shooter Manager

In “damage layers” > “damage layer” > select enemy

How to configure the name of grenadier ?

In ui setting , display ai name choose “yes”.

In ai setting stats : ai name: “Grenadier”.

Tutorial Game Design Unity3d 2020.3.25f1

== Create new scene ==

            Kit tools > create new scene (appear in Assets)

            To move in 3DGameKItLite > Scenes folder

== Add enemies ==

            Drag and drop (from Assets > 3DGamekitLite > Prefabs > Characters > Enemies > Chomper.)

            AI : in planes > (on the right side) Add component > navmesh surface

                        Agentype : chomper

                        Include layer : “nothing” and after “environment”

                        Select bake

If you add more Chompers or other enemies in the Scene, they use the same NavMesh Surface; you don’t need to repeat this for new enemy additions.

When you add or move GameObjects in your Scene, you need to rebake the NavMesh Surface.

== Create a teleportation portal to another map ==

            Create a new scene2 (destination)

            Add a door in scene 1

Assets > 3DGamekitLite > Prefabs > SceneControl.

Drag and drop TransitionStart near the door in scene 1

Transition game object: Ellen

Transition type: different zone

New scene name scene2

Transition destination (“A”)

                        Transition when ontriggerEnter

Add transition destination to scene 2 (“A”) link

            Transition game object: Ellen

Finally, make sure your destination Scene is in your Editor’s Build Settings. To do this, go to File > Build Settings and select Add Open Scenes.
