Allar’s Dev Diary #5: Public LAN Port Scanner 3 comments
Yup. Its a quick and dirty LAN port scanner. If you need one binded into UnrealScript, here you go, if not, move along.
With the binded DLL, you can scan your network for any open ports, given the port to hunt for.
If your game server is on port 7777 (which is what I use, you can set this by the ?port=7777 option on your servers command line or in your config files by Port=7777) and you do a lan scan on port 7777, it will find your server and store its IP address in an array of IPs that will also contain any other game servers on port 7777 on your same subnet mask.
Because it essentially is just a port scanner, it doesn’t do anything fancy, and can create false positives if you have another service on the same port responding to udp communication.
Hopefully the included documentation within the code and the video below will be enough for you to use it.
I will be releasing more and more features for it when it becomes more and more refined and awesome.

Allar’s Dev Diary #4: Custom Character + Weapon Assets Leave a comment
Just some custom assets I’ve assembled/created and implemented into my code. They should be replaced with proper artist assets later on but its more of a demonstration of a custom weapon that reloads, animates, plays sound, etc without any ut classes.

Important: I didn’t notice this until after I posted this but my stuttering is pretty bad in this video. Just a heads up. I will re-do this in the future.

A .mp3 of me rambling about what I’m doing.
Brief Written Version
I am Michael Allar, and I am Lead Programmer for The Hunt, a game being developed under a student group at The Art Institute of Orange County by the name of queSPECK.
My goal here with my site is to create a tutorial series that will show one how to start from scratch and to end up with a playable result, teaching them what they need to know along the way to implement their own designs.
I highly recommend using the February build when following these tutorials, as long the way you will migrate to March and any other future builds that may come out during this process. However you can start with what ever version you want, there just might be a few things you need to rework in some parts.
