From update 4.3 onwards, Automation supports the creation mod levels that change the environment around the car or engine being designed by a player.

Overview

A Designer Level is a collection of Unreal Levels with a name, description, preview thumbnails and a year.

Players have the option to select a different Designer Level to show when they enter the car & engine designer, or the engine designer.

Usually, Designer Levels combine Photoscene Mod Levels with an additional level containing locators to position the cars and engines that are spawned by the car & engine designers.

Workflow

In UE4:
1. Set up a mod.
2. Create and fill out a Designer Level file.
3. Create your aesthetic level (or reuse a Photoscene Mod Level).
4. Create your car and engine locator level
5. Assign variables in Designer Level to your newly created levels
In the Automation Workshop Publishing Tool:
1. Set up a workshop item.
2. Share your mod.
