Oh. Neat! For a moment I lost my faith in UnrealScript!

God I love UED.

... even this Visual Basic junk for DX but what the hey

I was under the impression that the code is there but just disabled for UDK. I could be wrong about this though.

I haven't really checked the UDK community 'bout what's up, I guess with enough tinkering anything is possible.

Assuming that all the necessary state is exposed to UnrealScript, there's no reason you couldn't write your own save and load system.

I'm facing a similar problem right now with Unity3D. It doesn't have any API for serialization of the scene in any respect. In fact, some components aren't accessible at all from scripts, making it impossible to restore those. Some stuff in the particle system works like this I believe. But at least it's possible to restore enough state that matters in order to continue the game. I'm working on a generalized solution right now, which should be adaptable to most people's needs. Then I'll probably LGPL it. Saving games is a huge problem for a lot of non-programmers with Unity, it would be nice if the community had a good, free solution.

Not giving you a way to serialize the whole scene is a damn good idea. There's no reason your saved game needs to include the position of every little particle, or any of the things in the level that are static. Unity rightly leaves it up to you to decide what needs to be remembered and what doesn't.

But, why LGPL? Do you hate free software?

Yeah, but there's not even any API at all. Some stuff cannot be saved at all.

And LGPL specifically because the "game creation" community is filled with people that will try to sell it.
