zwitschi ef06dd7d5a attribution: in-game ODbL credit via AGigLineHUD
The demo is built from OpenStreetMap data (ODbL 1.0) and needs attribution
wherever the derived work is shown. Add it to the running game, not just the
documents.

- AGigLineHUD (C++): plain AHUD::DrawText in the bottom-left draws
  '(c) OpenStreetMap contributors' and 'Data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors,
  ODbL 1.0 - openstreetmap.org/copyright', with a shadow pass for legibility
  over bright pavement and sky. No UMG widget asset, so a cook cannot drop it
  through a missing widget reference.
- AGigLineGameModeBase: HUDClass = AGigLineHUD, so the credit is on by default.
- AGigLineShotActor: screenshots are now requested with the UI shown, so the
  attribution appears in every capture under Screenshots/ and the obligation
  is provable in review rather than only described.

Docs: THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES records that the string is displayed in-game;
Screenshots/README documents the overlay; TODO marks the item done and
narrows the remaining ODbL question to the shipped-derivative-database
posture.

Screenshots — visual review

Rendered in-game captures of the current project content, generated by Tools/render_screenshots.sh. The PNGs are committed alongside this README so a reviewer sees exactly what the build rendered.

How to regenerate

Tools/render_screenshots.sh

Rebuilds Game/GigLine/Content/Test/ReviewMap.umap from current content, runs the game on it (and on the DemoMap for the walkable views), walks the fixed camera list via AGigLineShotActor, captures each shot, copies the PNGs here and exits — about a minute. The camera list lives in Tools/ue_build_review_map.py; add new shots there, remove retired ones here.

Naming: shots use their stable camera name (no index prefix), so adding or reordering cameras never renumbers files or orphans the old ones. Click an image for the full-size PNG.

Scene conventions

  • Review map (/Game/Test/ReviewMap): 160 m floor, top face at Z 0; the character measures Z 0..83 cm. One warm key light plus sky fill.
  • Cubes: Cube_ScaleTest_A rests on the floor, Cube_ScaleTest_B floats at Z 2 m; both are exactly 1 m — the scale reference.
  • Demo map (/Game/Hollywood/DemoMap): fixed daytime — sun at pitch −50 / yaw 120 (intensity 4, warm), sky light 2.6, sky atmosphere, height fog, fixed exposure. Surface colours are assigned explicitly in Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py (M_Asphalt, M_Concrete, M_Ground, M_RoadPaint) because Blender's flat diffuse colours do not survive the FBX → Unreal import.
  • Lighting is dynamic-only (r.AllowStaticLighting=False, all lights Movable), so no lighting build is ever required.
  • Attribution overlay: every shot carries the required ODbL credit in the bottom-left (© OpenStreetMap contributors / Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 — openstreetmap.org/copyright), drawn by AGigLineHUD. Screenshots are requested with the UI shown so the obligation is visible in review.

What to look for

  • Ground contact: feet meet the plane with no gap and no shadow seam.
  • Scale: everything checks against the 1 m cubes.
  • Façade rhythm: six columns at 4.96 m across 25.75 m should read as the photographs in silhouette.

Known cosmetic issues

  • Floor speckle from the Constant3Vector wiring in Tools/ue_build_review_map.py.
  • Hero façade renders pale — Blender flat colours with no normal/roughness, so it reads as untextured stone (the 0.1.4 façade patch, not a lighting bug).
  • Banners and window panels float detached from the colonnade wall (next modelling pass).
  • Between kerb and building line, the walkable surface is the terrain mesh, not a modelled pavement.
