What's changed?

New features:

• Added a blueprint node to select a random room with weights (non-uniform random).
• Added dungeon limits for room placement. If set, rooms will not be placed outside of the limits.
• Added a Static Room Visibility component with reduced computation over the non-static one (used for directly placed actors in room levels that will never go out of it at runtime).
• A tag Ignore Room Culling can be added to directly placed actors in room levels so they will be ignored by the room level automatic occlusion (before, only replicated actors were ignored). You can use a (Static) Room Visibility component to manage their visibility like you want instead.
• Added a Get Progress function in Dungeon Generator class to keep track of generation progress and make progress bars easily.
• Added an On Fail To Add Room event, called after exhausted all tries of placing a room without success.
• Added a Cleanup Room function in Room Data class as a counterpart of the Initialize Room one.
• Can now tweak the max generation tries and max room placement tries in the plugin's settings.
• Added accessor to generator's Rooms variable in C++ outside of child classes.
• The door debug box (blue) will now turn orange if multiple doors are on the same place.
• Now the RoomData's level will be automatically filled if empty when the data is selected in the Dungeon Room Editor mode.

Fixes:

• Crash when running in new PIE window in 'Play as Client' when a DungeonGenerator actor is in the launched level.
• Fixed missing call to On Room Added event for the first room.
• Fixed RootComponent of door actors to be able to edit them in editor.
• Fixed door actors so that they always spawn, regardless of the actor's parameter.

• Added room bounds center and extent blueprint accessors in Room instances and Room Level.
• Added Can Loop boolean in Dungeon Generator to be able to toggle it per-actor.

• Clamp occlusion distance to 1 to get at least a visible room (the one the player is in).

What's changed?

New features:

• Added an Unload function in the Dungeon Generator actor.
• Added Door Index output in Choose Next Room function (see wiki). [#39]
• Added Room Visitor interface to create custom behaviors on actors and components when an actor enters/exits a room (see wiki).
• Added door accessors from the room instances in blueprint.
• Added accessor to the Dungeon Generator's random stream from room instances in blueprint.

Changes:

• Replaced the custom ProceduralLevelStreaming class with the LevelStreamingDynamic using the custom instance name.
  This should be transparent for the plugin's users, but the level instances should now have recent Unreal Engine's modifications on them (>UE4.26).
• Improved network performances with the use of Net Dormancy to notify the Unreal's network system only when there are changes in the dungeon or door state.
• Updated the Room Visibility Component to use the new Room Visitor interface (should be transparent for plugin's users).

Procedural Dungeon v3.0.1

WARNING: A lot of new features are still in beta, so feel free to report any issue you have!

DISCLAIMER: A lot of breaking changes have been made from the version 2.X.X, so I don't recommend to update to this version if your project is using extensively the version 2! (however you can try to if some new features are interesting, there are no difficult changes to do. Remember to backup before!)

Built for Unreal Engine 4.27, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.

What's changed?

New features:

• New editor mode to ease room creation (see the wiki). 🤩
• New asset category to speed up data asset creation.
• Added a door type system to allow various door sizes in the dungeon [#21] .
• Added per room instance custom data (see the wiki).
• Added an initialization step in the dungeon generator for the room instances to be initialized before IsValidDungeon being called.
• Added a function to check if the player can reach one room from another (no locked room between them) [#25].
• Added a Spectate blueprint node because it is not in the base unreal engine. 😠

Changes:

• 💥 Moved room handling in a subclass of the DungeonGenerator, you can access most of the previous functions from the Rooms variable of the dungeon generator now (see the wiki).
• ⚠️ Reworked the dungeon networking: it does no longer use an RPC to generate the dungeon on all clients. Now the server generates the dungeon and replicates all rooms to the clients. The dungeon now uses a state machine to handle the generation process, allowing late joining clients to load properly the dungeon. 🎉
• Room bounds can now be in negative too.
• Room's "origin" (magenta sphere) is no longer shown since not really useful and a little confusing (can be enabled via a plugin's setting).
• New plugin icon. 😮

Fixes:

• ⚠️ Fixed wrong seed value when the dungeon' seed is set to Auto Increment.
• ⚠️ Fixed ContinueToAddRoom not called with each ChooseNextRoomData.

* Changes with symbol ⚠️ are modifying the dungeon generation, which could lead in different results if using same rules and seed as in v2.
* Changes with symbol 💥 are modifying the code interface (blueprint or C++), which lead to compilation issues if updated from v2 and needs to be fixed in your project.

Procedural Dungeon v2.1.2

• Fixed compilation issues (#26).
• Fixed room triggers returned by "trace by channel" functions (#27).
• Added an error message and the GenerationFailed event when the dungeon generator didn't generated a valid dungeon after exhausting all the retries (#29). Also now the dungeon will not spawn anymore in that case.
