Now that the Unreal Development Kit is out and free to use by anyone, I am pretty excited to try it out. My understanding is that the programming is done through scripting in UnrealScript, I am wondering if any of you guys know of any good articles, tutorials, books, and references for Unreal Script or the Unreal Development Kit.
Documentation
Tools
- nFringe - Visual Studio editor and debugger for UnrealScript
- WOTgreal - the editing tool for the Unreal® Engine
- The current development version supports UDK
- UnCodeX - UnrealScript Swiss Army Knife
There really isn't that much out there, the best way to learn is by looking through the source code of UT3 and mods for it. I'd recommend exporting script from the .u files (don't have a link on me at the moment) so that you can see the code from all of the Make Something Unreal Contest mods.
Download the latest UT3 source code here: http://udn.epicgames.com/Files/UT3/Mods/UT3ScriptSource_1.5.rar
There's also a handy program called "UnCodeX" that makes it easy to trace unrealscript code. uncodex.elmuerte.com
There's an option for html output too, which I have a copy of (although it's not the absolute latest version, it's pretty recent) on my site: http://www.aaronash.com/ut3/UT3_UnCodex_v1.3/
The UT3 source code should be plenty for you to learn off of however, good luck!
