Has modding support implemented on top of it, allowing modders to make packs desinged to add localization for custom objects in their mods or translate the packs with new text entirely in other supported languages.

The chat can work on players who don't even have the mod installed and will print all their behaviors in readable format UI settings using a custom homebrew solution.

Point and Interact Framework

Repository Page

A framework made for modding puporses that allows modders to create point and click interactivity between the player and the world around them. The system is entirely built upon "Hat_HUD" a system found in the game with the addition of interactivity through actors and Kismet functionality. The implementation is quick and simple and allows a lot of customizability through changing the mouse look, colors when Un/Hovering and size. System interacts through "point and click" with "3D button" Actors that the player can drop in the scene and the rest is done through Kismet.

The objective of such framework is to allow for a genre of "point and click" to be possible in the modding scene, this resulted in different mods using such solution, from FPS related functionality, to interacting with the scene and dragging.
