Locked online docs?

[Moofed]

Is there seriously no other way than nFringe to debug UnrealScript? No UE3 licensee needs UScript debugging????

Three/UnrealScriptReference has locked links to Three/DebuggingTools and Three/UnrealDevelopmentEnvironment.

I apologize if those links are complete concerned with native code, but I'm judging books by their cover here.

I recommend using http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/UDKProgrammingHome.html and http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/UDKCo...ationHome.html as starting points for UDK documentations. We'll be maintaining and filling out those pages.

It's easy to enable source control features in UDK!

Simply open up UTEditorUserSettings.ini and search for "SourceControl". You'll want to make sure the "Disabled" option is set to "false". Next time you start the UDK Editor, you'll see a Perforce dialog box where you can select your workspace and user settings to use with UDK.

For example, in UTEditorUserSettings.ini:

[SourceControl]
Disabled=False

Also, you can change the default value for other programmers by changing the option in UTGame's DefaultEditorUserSettings.ini file.

The following link from the “Whizzle_Creation_Document_1_2.pdf” Making off needs a account:
https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/Mast...0Basic%20Setup
its about fur materials

Cheers for that Steve. Just curious, where is that linked from? Perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong place and finding all the locked versions rather than the UDK specific versions.

The places I'm looking are
http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/SiteMap.html and http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/PublicTopics.html

There is actually one other page that I'd *really* like to see (considering I really don't like writing anything without version control in place) is the following:
https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/SCCIntegration

This is linked to from http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/UnrealEdUserGuide.html which I found via the public topics page.

Hi Steve! Thanks a bunch for looking into unlocking the documentation for us. Really appreciated!

I, for one, I'm dying to look at almost ANY of the links on the The UNREAL® Way page.

http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/TheUnrealWay.html

notably the following:
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Tech Problems
Coding Standard
Architecture Overview
Code Orientation
Changing Units

It just seems strange that on a page dedicated to telling us how to do things The Unreal Way, only three links are accessible.

Again, thanks a bunch for looking into it for us!

The PhysicsOverview page, which is linked from UDKProgrammingHome, has locked links to PhysXReference and Physical Animation. Without access to those topics that page feels a bit light; only collisions and vehicles. Maybe it needs links to these already unlocked articles:
- CollisionReference
- PhysicalMaterial
- PhysicsConstraintReference
- PhysicsDampingAndFriction
- SettingUpVehicles

The UDK version of UnrealFrontEnd is documented at http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/DevelopmentKitUFE.html

I'm adding some more links to that.

We're looking into all the requests on this thread. Thanks!

Thanks Steve, I guess locking console and C++ docs does make sense.

I was looking for basic info on using the Level Editor. The link that's locked is,

https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/LevelEditorUserGuide

I was having trouble with applying materials to geometry in the editor. I wound up looking at an unofficial tutorial, which seemed to show the workflow as being quite clunky. I'd love to see as much as possible to understand why things have been set up the way they have.

Please post any documents you would like to see but can't access. We've massively increased the number of publically available UDN documents, and we've tried to open up every document that isn't focused either on C++ source code or console platforms. We'd like to know if we've missed something useful to UDK users.

I posted a few in another thread, but since you're asking here:

Some examples of items that seem like they could be useful:
https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ConfigurationFiles (I'd really like to see this one, to see if I can move around the directory structure a bit to make it more feasible to use version control)
https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/Mast...ableOfContents
https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ScriptProfiler (not sure if this is included with the UDK, but it would be nice if it was)
https://udn.epicgames.com/Three/UnrealFrontend (this is included, though I realise the licensee copy has many more options)

There are probably a few more, but those are the ones I can recall.

I doubt it, since much of it is aimed at full licensees, but I'd expect more documentation would become available for UDK over time.

Any chance the locked areas of the online docs will be unlocked for everyone?
