Whizzle src - where ?

[neoandrew]

As in the topic, from udk site:


Check out Whizzle, the first game built entirely with Unreal Development Kit. We've even provided source code so you can see how it was created!

But where is the source code heh ? I have both udk and Whizzle installed.

I also can not view the developer diary on udk for Whizzle, can someone help me ?

[MadGrenadier]

I didn't ever find a full source but this "documentation from the first 30 days" (http://udk.com/elements/downloads/Whizzle_Creation_Document_1_2.pdf) has a lot of helpful code in it.

[eugen32]

The doc is pretty good and makes you understand the inner stuff but you cannot test it since you dont have the source for it. As a pure learning tool wizzle doc tells so much but the release allows so little for avid UDK users.

[neoandrew]

They say the source code will be there, so i'm waiting for it (i treat it as a promise), the doc are good but the sources are much better and i will be waiting for it, as much as i waiting for the develepment video to work.

EDIT: Diary has started to work, it is also here http://www.moddb.com/engines/unreal-engine-3/news/unreal-engine-3-free-to-indies

[Psyonix-Jerad]

We are working on packaging the source code, and will post it as soon as it is ready.

Excellent to hear, I for one can't wait - thank you.

[SpartanDonut]

This is indeed excellent news! Thanks for providing the feedback!

[neoandrew]

Psyonix - thank You very much.

[WillM]

Hey guys, this should be up later today for you.
I'll post the link as soon as it's available!

[WillM]

Here you guys go:

[jeffro11]

You guys rock. This will help out a lot of people. Myself included.

[docmorbid]

Thank you, great work guys.

[Sir_Brizz]

Got a mirror here:

[danimal']

Thanks! It's been really helping me with constraints. Err why is this 140mb? Thought it'd just be .uc files? Or is this Whizzle+Source?

[Metal3d]

Downloading now. Really, thank you all for this - a chance to see another type of game style up close is priceless.

[SpartanDonut]

Download Includes UTGame and Development Folders - I copied the files into a new UDK directory and got the maps to load into the editor. I saw TONS of scripts which is going to be EXTREMELY helpful when it comes to developing a mod from the ground up.

Thanks SO MUCH for this!

[Alexander++]

Thanks lots guys!

[DiegoBM]

Awesome guys. Thank you psyonix!!

[NightRyder]

Thank you!

[aeonflame]

Cheers guys, really useful to see how a total conversion can be setup in UDK! :)

[Allar]

Cheers, WillM, cheers.

[docmorbid]

People should really stop calling games made with UDK mods and total conversions.

UDK is a development kit, it's an engine development kit, it's Unreal Engine development kit, not Unreal the game development kit.

Calling games made in UDK for total conversions would be like calling any other game made with a Unreal Engine license a total conversion or mod, which you can tell is wrong, right?

Well, UDK as provided is set up to function as UT3. So yes, while 'total conversion' is the wrong phrase to use, we are still converting the kit as provided into something else. It's not really any different to modding UT3 itself. UDK is just a newer version of the engine with a lot of the assets stripped out.

[eugen32]

Well as long as you use your own assets, extend the code of the UDK (or UT3 for that matter) then you can call it a game of your own. Every engine has a core code which was used to make one game or another with it, you cannot say for example if CryEngine base code is used to make Crysis, if you get the CryEngine and the Sandbox and use it you will make Crysis again. You will do a game of your own if you use your own assets and extend it in a way it fits your game.

[Masakari]

Awesome guys, many thanks! :)

Yes... and as UT3 is provided in the UDK I felt it was setup more as an example than a platform to build off, although you can of course do both. I just felt it was used to show you how things are done, how they connect and relate to each other rather than a base for modding.

Either way... it might just be semantics, but I look at the UDK as a way for modders to go beyond the mod, calling it a mod or a total conversion would send the wrong message and confuse.

[ootz0rz]

Thank you for this, I've always learned a new language and such best by looking at examples of other work and this is exactly what I needed!

Agreed :) -- Either way, what Psyonix have given here is a fantastic example of what can be done with the engine. So thanks guys!

[Psyonix-DavidB]

You are most welcome. :)

We hope that you enjoy Whizzle and the provided source code, and look forward to seeing what you guys come up with using the UDK.

If you or anyone else here have any questions please do not hesitate to post them here on the UDK forums and one of us from Psyonix will get back to you as soon as possible.

I can't seem to load Level01.udk. I'm trying to open the file "Level01.udk" from the source code zip, not from the CookedPC portion of the Whizzle game.

I first installed UDK in this directory:

C:\Program Files\UDK\UDK-2009-11

I then installed Whizzle in this directory:

C:\Program Files\UDK\Whizzle

I then downloaded the source code and assets for Whizzle here:
http://download.udk.com/WhizzleSourceFinal.zip

And after I unzipped it, I found two new folders: Development and UTGame. I dropped both of these folders into here while merging with existing folders and while not overwriting any existing files:

C:\Program Files\UDK\Whizzle

I then opened the UDK editor and tried to load the following map:

C:\Program Files\UDK\Whizzle\UTGame\AquaContent\Maps\Aqua\Lev el01.udk

After UDK tried to load this map, it told me that the following resources were not found when loading the map:

Can't find file for package 'AquaGame' while loading C:\Program Files\UDK\Whizzle\UTGame\AquaContent\Maps\Aqua\Lev el01.udk
Can't find file for package 'AquaGame' while loading NULL
Can't find file for package 'Char_CagedWhizzle' while loading C:\Program Files\UDK\Whizzle\UTGame\AquaContent\Maps\Aqua\Lev el01.udk
...
Can't find file 'World_Caral01'

I can get the "basics" of the map loaded, but everything is covered with a default texture. When I try to run the game inside UDK, I just have a UT3 character equipped with a Link Gun who just floats around in space.

Are we not supposed to be able to open Level01.udk? Is it off-limits? Am I doing something wrong?

[jlzuri]

The same here...

I just downloaded the source files. I copied my UDK directory to a new directory, unzipped the whizzle source into the new directory and overwrote any files.

Ran the UEFrontend and launched the editor.

Levels load perfectly. And I can play them from in the editor.

Its actually really interesting to see how they made the level. :D

Thanks for the source code Psyonix Studios.

[Psyonix-Jerad]

I just downloaded the source files. I copied my UDK directory to a new directory, unzipped the whizzle source into the new directory and overwrote any files.

This is the "correct" way to do it. Basically, the engine only knows about certain directories in which to look for content, and if ALL of the dependent packages are not within these directories, it will not be able to find all of the assets necessary to load the level in full glory, so to speak.

[synetcon]

Thank you so much for this gift!! I really enjoy analising this game!! Thanks again Psyonix.

Unfortunately, I had to battle it out a lot longer to get the levels working inside the editor. Simply copying over the files did not work for me. I had to manually move the files from "AquaContent" to "Content"; from Maps inside AquaContent to Maps inside Content and so on. Now, the editor started to give out ambiguity errors before loading but eventually loaded the maps in it's entirety. So to get rid of those warnings, I had to change the path inside "UTEngine.ini" to point to "Content" instead of "AquaContent". I don't know what I was doing wrong but I somehow got it to work.

Thanx for the code, Psyonix.

Well,

Is there anyone who still has installation problem.

When I open the Unreal Frontend and run Editor, the above instruction still gives me three Ambiguous package name errors and a UDK crash while the log shows 'Loaded 176 shaders (168 legacy, o redundant)'.

[drzovil]

Though I'm not sure how perfectly I did, this problem is solved anyway.

[Young]

I have the same problem.

I've just installed 2010-01-BETA version and copied "Development" and "UTGame" folders from "WhizzleSourceFinal" into the same folders of UDK.

but showed the same message boxes and crashed when launching Editor.

reinstalled UDK again but the same problem keeps occurring. :(

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

[ViiK]

Same issue on 2009-12. I thought that full re-cook will help, but UDK crashes in a process.

[Shelke]

I believe this game is meant to be used with the original UDK release. 2009-11 and possible 2009-11-2, the 2nd november beta.

[magic_taco]

Guided by what Chris2009 and Shelke said earlier, I installed the UDK from November and unzipped the Whizzle source into the new directory and overwrote any files. Compiled and it was good to go.

Thanks again, Psyonix, for sharing your game and the source code!

[Froyok]

Hi, the source code of whizzle helps me a lot, I would like to know what was the license for this code, namely whether it is in the same terms as the code of the UDK ...
Of course my code is not the duplicate of whizzle (I say this-very inspiring), but in the event of a commercial project, how it happens?


Q: Can we create a game extending from UTGAME code and sell it for commercial purposes or is this considered part of the "assets" of the UDK that they do not want us to use?

A: UTGame script code is not consider part of the restricted asset set. You may freely use it in your UDK application as you see fit.

[djnik1362]

hi

as you know Whizzle works with joystick.
How can i bind keyboard keys so i can control
whizzle with keyboard ?

Thanks.
