'''Splash screen'''
It's not a level splash screen. It's shown when the game starts. In 600 x 200 pixel.
Settings > Project Settings > Platforms > Windows > Splash
:Editor Splash, Game Splash
Watch out for ''dead space'' at the left bottom area as it gets occupied at runtime by text displaying the engine version, the game's name, copyright, and loading progress.

'''Game icon'''
Beneath the Splash, the Game Icon can be set. In 256 x 256 pixel.
: For Photoshop there is a free plugin available for making *.ico files.
'''Videos'''
;Show Intro video
:Settings > Project Settings > (Project section) Movies
:Wait for Movies to Complete [x] (prevent bug from closing video automatically right after start)
:Movies Are Skippable [x]
:Add element to array, insert an MP4 video
:Some older engine versions require the MP4 to have 25 fps.
:Bug: On Windows the mouse cursor will be shown during video playback.
An animated intro would be nice but that's unfeasible for us. Instead ingame cutscenes could be used.
;Display other videos in fullscreen, e.g. for Outro

Connections can be double-clicked to get a Detour node. When you hover a Detour node with a little offset you will notice a changed mouse cursor, indicating that the node can be moved.

Creating an array of weapon classes requires to go into the side menu of the variable where you can chose between instances, classes, and soft references.
:For RealOni we should better have the means to fill that array automatically.
The nodes for all the locations and rotations are meant to spawn the weapons in a circle whereby the player stands in the center.

For higher jumps we need bigger values for the "Jump ZVelozity" node.

Dev notes: the rotation parts can probably by recycled for cheat code '''''munitionfrenzy'''''. <!--use loop for increasing the angle-->

===Text pages===
'''Styles'''
 
Requirements for text pages with multiple styles:
* User widget (blueprint)
* Rich text block
* Data table (blueprint) with row structure "Rich Text Style Row"
* A new font file (if necessary)
 
Procedure:
* Add some default text to the rich text block
* Add a default row to the data table named "Default" and set the other defaults including the font
* Move and save rich text block in order to see changes
* Add more rows to the data table, those are the style
** Row name equals tag name which can be used in the rich text block
** Tags are to be used like HTML. <code>This is a text in default style and <nowiki><xeno30>this is a text in a style I named xeno30.</xeno30></nowiki></code>

'''Images in rich text block'''
 
These images can serve as inline images, being only as big as the default text.
 
Requirements:
* RichTextBlockImageDecorator (blueprint)
* Data table (blueprint) with row structure "Rich Image Row"
 
Procedure:
* Add images to that new data table
* Use image tags in rich text block as following: <code><nowiki><img id="tagName"></></nowiki></code>

==Table of content==
We could make many tables but let's keep that number low. They will serve as milestones.
So if these are done we can say: "Yep, it's all possible." Cheats deal with levels, characters, AI, weapons, inventory, animations and particle. So it's a good overview.
