Producer, Author : Udemy , Stephen Ulibarri, I just resized the video to a more compact size, as evidenced by the letters LQ in the title. The letters LQ mean lower quality, but the quality has been kept quite tolerable for learning purposes (in my opinion)
Duration : hours 55
Type of handout : Video tutorials
Language : English
Описание : Learn all about Unreal Engine multiplayer in this fully comprehensive C++ course. From scratch, we create a complete multiplayer shooter game, capable of creating and joining game sessions and connecting many players across the internet. We’ll create our very own custom plugin that can be added to any Unreal Engine project to easily turn it into a multiplayer game.
We learn how to optimize our game for the best performance, as competitive shooters require the highest performance possible. We’ll implement lag compensation techniques such as client-side prediction and server-side rewind, so the game performs smoothly even in the presence of high lag!
We learn how to use the proper game classes for each multiplayer mechanic. Custom match states, warmup/cooldown match timers, Elim announcements, HUD with health, shields, ammo and grenades, and more! We keep all important functionality on the server, to prevent cheating, and learn the proper way to use the Player Controller, Game Mode, Game State, Player State, Character and Game Instance classes.
We make assault rifles, pistols, submachine guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, sniper rifles and throwing grenades! All functional in multiplayer, optimized for best performance.
After this course, you’ll be able to create any multiplayer game you want. If you can do a fast-paced shooter well, you can do any game, because fast-paced, competitive games require the best performance possible.

Video format : mkv – the result of recoding the original to reduce the distribution size by more than an order of magnitude, but maintaining the resolution (frame size in pixels). To minimize the size, I pinched it with a modern codec, so that on a smart TV or in old players on a computer it may not show a video picture (if you have problems on your computer, try the modern version of PotPlayer or VLCPlayer)
