CSHome in Unreal

I've been a long time player of EQ and mess around with both EQEMU and the Unreal engine. I was able to import the original Arena zone into UE4 (latest version 4.20.2). It wasn't too hard; I used one of the many tools here to extract the obj file, convert it to fbx in Blender and then import the fbx into the Unreal Editor.

The textures are converted to unreal materials automatically, although the materials need to be flipped horizontally as they'll appear backwards. It's a fun little experiment for sure, but once converted it can't be distributed.

What do you mean? Hasn't Daybreak has already given their blessing of our community?

I didn't create the mesh or textures that get converted into Unreal, so therefore it would violate IP laws to distribute them in any fashion. P99 might have the blessings of Daybreak, but I sure as hell don't.

There hasn't be a "blessing" by any direct means. There was an agreement with Project1999 which is a part of EQEmu indirectly which also indirectly assumes that our fan based project is accepted in the sense that we do everything to continue to stay respectful of their IP. As in, we don't distribute clients, provide custom client files or anything at a common sense level that will infringe on the official brand.

Any of the client projects that we've ever had in play have always had a dependency on the fact that you already have acquired the game yourself and have a local copy installed.
