2552.07.01.00.00 Launching the SystemLink Arena Devlog

Welcome to the SystemLink Arena devlog — a public trail of what's being built, what broke, and the decisions behind a Halo-inspired arena FPS running on Unreal Engine 5.7.

Field archive

Built like a loadout screen. Organized like a kitchen line.

The public docs keep the useful trail visible: systems, fixes, risks, screenshots, and the decisions that shaped the arena.

ReferenceSystem Link Hard-Light Bridge Material

The reusable material set lives in:

 ReferenceFootguns — SystemLink Hard-Won Gotchas

The canonical internal index of traps we've hit, why they bite, and the rule that avoids them. Scannable on purpose: each entry is symptom → rule → pointer to the fuller writeup.

 ReferenceTeleporters — ASLTeleporter

Server-authoritative teleporters. C++ owns the decision, the move and the replicated state; the Blueprint subclass owns the meshes, the ring FX and the ambient audio.

 NowCurrentFocus — AI Session Primer

Update this file at the end of each session. It is the first thing to read at the start of a new one.

 ReferenceDoors — ASLDoor

Server-authoritative proximity doors. C++ owns the decision and the replicated state; the Blueprint subclass owns the meshes and the animation.

 UI & OnlineUI System — CommonUI + Menus (Design Doc)

Reference doc for the upcoming menu / settings / pause UI work. Captures the current state of the CommonUI scaffolding, the base classes still to author, the controller-input pipel
