Web Browser

The overlay is a fully featured Chromium browser that is used in the ODK to render UI elements, this allows us to get all the benefits of web based development and also have a unifying set of menus across all ODK experiences.

Web Browser functionality is controlled via the BPFL_ODK_WebBrowser function library, and the BP_WebBrowserWorldService .

Pressing "Tab" within an experience will open the Player Profile overlay menu, which is available in every experience within the Otherside Platform. This overlay displays the Players progress and inventory as they explore the Otherside. This page consists of the following sub pages:

Overview

  • This section gives the player a high level view of their progress within the Otherside, it will track key metrics, show their avatar, display badges and allow them to show off their prized NFT's on this page.

Avatar

  • This is where players can change their avatar from, it will display all avatars that are available within their collection, its worth noting that this functionality will not work if players are forced to render a specific avatar for a experience.

Inventory

  • The inventory consist of all tokens that the player has earned as they voyage through the Otherside, this will consist of Avatars, Emotes, Badges, Items and any other tokens that they have gathered.
