A custom C++ server for Unreal Engine 5: Simultaneous Worlds and TypeScript Scripting

This presentation is about my experimental custom server for the Unreal Engine 5, which I have implemented as a side project for educational purposes.

In contrast to a Unreal-based solution, the server is able to host multiple worlds (levels/shards/layers) at the same time, with a low consumption of resources. In addition, the server is able to update many independent worlds and their content in parallel, thus making the best use of modern multi-core systems to potentially support a larger number of clients. In addition, my dedicated server plugin works with the standard Unreal Engine that is distributed through the Epic Marketplace and does not require a source build.

In particular, this presentation covers runtime reloadable C++ and JavaScript/TypeScript AI scripting and the first presentation of multiple simultaneous worlds.

The project is currently not in active development.

Hey, the project is amazing! I cannot find the link to the demo project in the description or your github profile. Is it possible to access it?

[USupreme.Official]

Can you please provide the link for the source code??

[boot-strapper]

Seriously this is great! I love that it supports typescript for scripting too. Seriously Bravo. Is this open source bychance?

Really cool (and a bit frustrating xD) to see you've reached what I've had as a goal for a while.
Would have loved to see your project for reference.

What do you use for collision on your server?

Is your c++ server based on TrinityCore?

So i can just use this to host my server and then i can edit everything or whats the deal? o.O
