Procedural Dungeon v3.0.0

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 and 5.2.
To install it, follow the instructions in the wiki page.

An example project for UE5 is available here (you can change easily the engine version with a right click on the .uproject file).
Make sure to install the plugin in your engine or in the example project to be able to open the example!

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 occlusion culling system not disabled by the plugin's setting.
• 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.
