Integrated Partners Program

Document Summary: Program Overview, and a list of current Integrated Partners and contact information.

Document Changelog: Created by Mike Capps. Maintained by Richard Nalezynski.

Overview

Epic Games has established the Integrated Partners Program (IPP) for the purposes of having a formal business relationship with selected companies making cross-platform technologies which integrate with, and are complementary to, Unreal® Engine 3. Under the IPP program Epic provides continuous Unreal Engine 3 source code access and full technical support to IPP members. Companies who join the IPP agree to provide a high level of technical support for UE3 licensees through Epic’s established support channels, keep their implementations up-to-date with the latest UE3 versions, and work with Epic on potential promotional and co-marketing efforts. The IPP program will make it easier for Unreal Engine 3 licensees to incorporate 3rd party middleware solutions from IPP vendors into their games.

These products are in addition to the tools and software listed on the Third Party Software page.

See the Main Integrated Partners Program page for more information.

Integrated Parners

NOTE: For Pixomatic, licensees must contact the vendor to purchase a license in order to use their software in the Unreal Engine. The others are fully integrated and freely available.

Karma

The Karma 1.2 physics engine is part of this codedrop and is currently covered by the UnrealEngine2 license. Contact licensing@epicgames.com if you licensed the engine before Karma was included and need to include it.

SDL

The Simple DirectMedia Layer is part of this codedrop for the video and audio subsystems on Linux PC. The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Text of the license and other information on its terms and conditions are available here: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html.

In short, to comply with its terms, when distributing the application outside of your organization you must include notice that the code is being used, that it is under the LGPL, and the text of the LGPL itself. Furthermore, you must do one of the following:

1. Include the source code for the version of the code that you link with, as well as the full source or object code to your application so that the user can relink your application; or
2. Include a written offer, valid for at least three years, to provide the materials listed in option one, charging no more than the cost of providing this distribution; or
3. Make the materials listed in option one available from the same place that your application is available.

The most common way to comply with the license is to dynamically link with the libraries, and then include the library source code and appropriate notices with your application.

OpenAL

Windows

The OpenAL library by Creative Labs is part of this codedrop for the audio subsystem on Windows. While the Creative headers are licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, as with the Loki code referenced below, the actual binary libraries they affect are freely redistributable under the following license:
