NetBlitzer: Creating the first half of poster mods

Creating the first half of poster mods

New page

==Overview==
Poster layout mods are used in the Automation poster creator as pre-made designs for users to make car posters.
[[index.php?title=File:PosterExample.png|frame|Automation poster screen]]

To make a poster layout for Automation you need 2 parts:

'''Poster user widget:''' Made in Unreal engine.

'''Preview file:''' Made in Unreal engine.
===Recommended Knowledge===
*Making blueprints in Unreal
==Creating your poster layout==
The poster layout is a '''CarStatLayout''' widget. The widget contains '''PosterSlots''', which are used by the player to adjust settings.

An example poster layout can be found in the '''ExampleCarPoster''' folder.
===Make a new blueprint===
#Right-click in the content browser, select '''Blueprint Class'''.
#In the search field, enter '''CarStatLayout''' and select it from the list.
#Click the '''Select''' button to create a new blueprint.
===Create the layout===
[[index.php?title=File:PosterDesigner.png|none|frame|Poster designer]]
The poster layout is built using widgets from the '''Palette''' panel. The layout is designed hierarchically by placing poster widgets inside panel widgets. You can use the pre-made widgets in your poster layout or create your own widget blueprints to customize your layout further.

To make your widgets accessible to be edited in Automation you need to assign them a slot:
#In the Details panel, navigate to the Poster Slot section.
#Click the [[File:UnrealArrowDropdown.png|frameless]] button '''> Generate''' to generate a '''Slot UID'''.
#In the '''Name''' field, enter a name for the poster slot.
===Pre-made widgets===
The Automation SDK features several pre-made widget for you to use in your poster layout:

'''PS Car Image UW'''

Displays an image of the car. You can adjust the default parameters in the '''Photo Info''' section.

'''PS Background UW'''

Allows the player to display their own image from a jpg or png file. The default is the Automation background image.

'''PS Creator Name UW'''

Displays in the format “Creator: [input]”. The input can be set in by the user in the poster widget.

'''PS Car Stat Socials UW'''

Displays the car statistics.

'''Poster Custom Car Name Stacked UW'''

Displays the car name in the format “Model - Trim”.

'''Poster Engine Name UW'''

Displays the engine name in the format “Engine – Trim”.

'''Poster Engine Power Torque Graph UW'''

Displays the power-torque graph of the engine.

'''Poster Engine Stats UW'''

Displays the engine statistics.

'''Poster Engine Thumbnail UW'''

Displays a picture of engine.

'''Poster Slot Car Performance UW'''

Displays the car performance statistics.

'''Poster Company Car Name UW'''

Displays the car name in the format “Model - Trim”.
