Tribes Ascend SDK

Tribes Ascend SDK - Unfinished

This repo contains the source for the unofficial Tribes Ascend SDK. To develop with it and use mods made with it, you'll need the leaked Tribes: Ascend developer build. You can download that via the .torrent included in this repo.

Making maps

1. Download the UDK here: http://download.udk.com/UDKInstall-2011-01-BETA.exe

2. Follow the guide: http://www.reddit.com/r/Tribes/comments/1ia5jb/ta_sdk_the_guide_to_mapping/

Using the dev build

The TribesAscend executable is found under Binaries\Win32

To run a local server: TribesAscend mapname (in CookedPC/Maps) -seekfreeloading

To run a dedicated server: TribesAscend server mapname -seekfreeloading

Guidelines

• Minimize global namespace pollution

• Maintain coding style

TODO list (priority order)

• Add automated UnrealScript calls to the generated headers using ProcessEvent.

  Finished

  • Fix garbage in code buffer in ScriptStackFrame - it appears to be valid UnrealScript bytecode, but seems to be from another call and does not contain valid args for the hooked function. This prevents grabbing args from ScriptStackFrame and is top priority.

  • Automatically grab args off of ScriptStackFrame and pass them to the hook for more user-friendly hooking. Sort of implemented but the ASM is wrong.

  • Add a specialized Rotator class.

  • Improve implicit conversion between UE3 short vectors and standard float vectors.
