This is the start of a tutorials page that I am going to working on. I have plans to go over all of the PhysX code I have figured out as well as an in depth tutorial on tinting in unreal and maybe if time permits or I get a clone I will go over how I made a Total Conversion. If work keeps going how it is this might happen sooner than later but we will see what happens and I will add what I can when I can.

I am going to transfer a lot of the crucial information from the work in progress page over here in a format that allows for easy trouble shooting.

Gold Material:

This is the basic material setup for making a gold like shader with Unreal's material editor. This setup uses a Texture Cube environment map in combination with a reflection vector to make the gold seam to reflect the environment that it is in. The actually gold color its self was achieved using a ConstanV3 multiplied by the the Texture Cube map and feed into the Diffuse and Specular inputs.

Please note that  this gold was made with textures that can be found in the Engine Materials package and was built purely to show how to setup a gold shader. The gold will look much better if you get the textures used for the Texture Cube from your actual level.
