A custom C++ server for the Unreal Engine 5, optimized for MMO(RPG)s.

This presentation shows a custom server for Unreal Engine 5 that I implemented as a side project. In contrast to a Unreal-based solution, the server is able to host multiple maps (levels/shards/layers) simultaneously with low resource consumption. In addition, the server can update many independent maps and their contents in parallel, making optimal use of modern multi-core systems. An outstanding feature of our server is the ability to script AIs with C++20 coroutines. By using an entity component system, the server is potentially crash-safe, as dangeling pointers and other lifecycle problems almost never occur. --- If you are interested in my work, take a look at my GitHub profile - C++ libraries used (incomplete list): - - - - - --- 1 00:00 Introduction 2 00:34 Server Overview 3 01:31 Movement & Player Interaction 4 02:32 Combat, AI & NPC Interaction 5 03:19 Data Export 6 03:33 Server Nav Mesh & Physical Materials 7 04:40 Phsyical Material based random spawning 8 05:08 Outro --- Music by DarkFantasyStudio,
