Since the Unreal Engine can be fully modified by C++ the question is rather '''how much of Oni can be replicated by Blueprint scripting''' and '''what parts need real programming'''. | Since the Unreal Engine can be fully modified by C++ the question is rather '''how much of Oni can be replicated by Blueprint scripting''' and '''what parts need real programming'''. | ||

This is basically a blank project with: | |||
* an UE4 pre-loading splash screen (a "title bar" ?) | |||
* a Bink video test (unofficial AE video) | |||
* OniGameInstance with logic for ai2_chump and dev console [Alt]+[#] | |||
* Xenotron font | |||
* Oni mouse cursor | |||
* data table for Xenotron font styles and glow tex (test images for IPge) | |||
You might have seen screenshots of this project suggesting other content. This was simply the latest test with different content. | |||
