I'd totally need some tool that would work for all source assets for gamedev

there are dedicated tools that work for audio

and then all these different companies have their own tooling for their own stuff but nothing generic

Ok so to get access to all of it for free?

daring raven Nov 12, 2019, 6:02 PM

there are some assets on the marketplace, but the bulk of them you need to use Bridge to download I believe

Where/How would I sign in to let it know that I’m a UE4 person?

rustic belfry Nov 12, 2019, 8:04 PM

#

Hey guys, now that Quixel is joining Epic and we have access to Megascan for free, does anyone know what the license will be for those assets? For those of us content creators - are we allowed to use Megascan assets as part of our Marketplace products (similar to using Epic content)?

stray swan Nov 12, 2019, 8:14 PM

#

Thus begins a new era of Quixel asset flips. Huzzah!

limber thunder Nov 12, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

I don't think so, as the seller name is not Epic but Quixel, but probably best to ask mp support

elfin plinth Nov 12, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

@rustic belfry no, you still can't resell quixel megascans

#

do note that things you sell on marketplace has to be able to be used also outside ue4

#

like, if I buy asset from ue4 marketplace, I can use it in Unity, Cryengine etc as long as it's not some asset from Epic directly that says it's restricted to UE only use

#

but you won't see that disclaimer on sold assets on the marketplace

limber thunder Nov 12, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

oh, that's something I didn't know. Very useful, thanks.

elfin plinth Nov 12, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

also do note that ue4 starter content and templates are also stuff that you can use in other engines

#

Epic's tech demo stuff and anything that directly is labeled as ue-only, you can't

#

UE4 EULA separates these things nicely and tells what is allowed to redist and what is not

rustic belfry Nov 12, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

Thanks @elfin plinth! I have several Blueprint assets in the MP and I use content from the various Epic projects (Kite demo, etc). So . its good to know where we stand with Quixel assets 🙂

elfin plinth Nov 12, 2019, 9:01 PM

#

they allow you to bundle kite demo stuff?

#

they have been slipping on that then

#

originally it was just starter content and templates

#

well, who knows what they allow then

#

but having ue-only content like kite demo stuff can be problematic already

young obsidian Nov 12, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

On one hand I think it bloats out and pollutes a directory, on the other I'd like to see all free assets used in context as part of a larger product

#

For the Megascans in environment art, because a lot is still materials right now

graceful arrow Nov 12, 2019, 10:01 PM

#

Where it becomes problematic is any Quixel content you have had previously and have either used it or an adaption of it, suddenly being restricted when you had paid for assets to use (within Quixels T&Cs). In addition, what happens if you create a texture, for example, using Mixer and things from Megascans creating a bespoke texture?

#

I would have thought that if you were not distributing the source files, but uassets it would be okay.

nova cave Nov 12, 2019, 11:58 PM

#

is anyone else being signed out the first time they go to the marketplace every day?

#

The first time I go there every day or if i don't go there for several hours when I type in "marketplace" to go to the marketplace in my browser, the first thing it does is sign me out and then displays the marketplace. I have to click sign in, which I do, and tell it to remember me, but then it takes me to the main unreal engine page and then I have to go back to the marketplace again. It's been going on about 3 weeks now

merry field Nov 13, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

Epic sites are notoriously bad for signing you out at random

#

Can't think of anything else that makes me log in again at least every few days

nova cave Nov 13, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

It started happening after they did an update on the site like 3-4 weeks ago. I tried erasing all my cookies, but that didn't seem to help. I sent a support request a few days ago but haven't gotten an answer at all. So I wondered if anyone else was experiencing the same issue.

#

it's only happening on the marketplace. Answer hub/forums generally seem fine, and it wasn't an issue before that upgrade.

tame wasp Nov 14, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

Imo there should just be a universal library synced with purchased assets from the marketplace. Allowing you to drag in specific assets into a project without having to create new projects or migrate files

modern perch Nov 14, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

that would be a compatibility nightmare

#

not to mention the disk space requirements

stray swan Nov 14, 2019, 1:01 AM

#

@tame wasp i'm wondering that is what Quixel bridge is for going forward.

#

at least for static meshes or basic textures?

#

Right now it can't appear to parse raw uassets, but i'm wondering if that will changed since they're owned by Epic now.

#

But I agree, it's kind of obnoxious to have stuff spread all over the place, so I hope bridge becomes a 'one stop shop' for certain assets

tame wasp Nov 14, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

Disk space is fine, you could just allocate which assets are synced. I actually use up more disk space with several projects with duplicate assets etc

#

I'm sure there could be a way around compatibility . Maybe choosing a prefer engine and the assets get sorted by version

modern perch Nov 14, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

there's more to it than that; generated data can be different across projects; one project might need distance fields as an example, or they might be at different resolutions etc

stray swan Nov 14, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

Well, It really depends on the assets of course. Quixel megascan assets are available in this, as an example, so obviously it can be done with static meshes, decals, etc. For stuff using logic, blueprints, etc, that's a tougher nut to crack.

#

I'm mostly hoping I can use bridge to organize stuff like that.

modern perch Nov 14, 2019, 1:08 AM

#

if you use megascans assets, you still need to choose which source assets you download, then you'll have copies in each project, potentially with a wild variety of different settings and data

stray swan Nov 14, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

Yes.

#

I'm just saying for the 'base' assets it would be nice to have a good organzied, tagged, searchable thingie like Bridge? 🙂

#

for stuff like marketplace modular building packs

tame wasp Nov 14, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

Yeah I'm a lot less bothered about Blueprints, it's mostly just art assets. I have tons of packs with walls, props, decor, etc. Its really difficult to organise especially when some packs aren't updated to a new version

stray swan Nov 14, 2019, 1:13 AM

#

Well I got a building asset pack with that humble bundle, so I might experiment with bridge to see if I can add them to that library and re-import them into UE4 properly.

tame wasp Nov 14, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

I tried importing 3D models into bridge earlier however that doesn't work (unless in doing something wrong)

stray swan Nov 14, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

I think them announcing 3D painting and more advanced features for their software means that Epic money is paying for more development, i'd be real surprised if they didn't have further integration with Bridge and epic assets... but i can't see the future so I could be wrong.

tame wasp Nov 14, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

I think the import is for textures etc

stray swan Nov 14, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

humm

#

the import thing said it supported 3D

#

looks like you can drag a FBX in

#

and it'll ask for the material textrues

#

let me test this..

tame wasp Nov 14, 2019, 1:22 AM

Even if that did work, imagine importing all those files and having to sort ha

sand pumice Nov 14, 2019, 1:23 AM

If anyone knows of any assets that would let one load image files at runtime that would be awesome. Am basically done prototyping an inventory system for the market place, it will be released for free, and it's expected to scale very very very well even for large crafting openworld games. Using dynamically loaded json files to determine item properties, I suspect this will be miles more efficient than anything else currently on the market.

But a way to load images at runtime would give the necessary flexibility for this to really take off and any help finding tools for this would be greatly appreciated. Please ping me if you know anything. Help will be credited.

I'm making a pack with textures and materials that can be used for both widgets and world. In company I was hired UI textures had settings overriden to NoMipmaps and UI TextureGroup. Should I care about it in asset package? if so, should I assign them as World or UI textures? Or just leave it on default?

textures should be used either for UI or World

there are options you can probably enable/disable to actually cook the content even if its unused :p

but doubt you'd want that

Hi there! Anyone got some noob tips for a virtual Marketplace Virgin 😄 ? Want to release a first asset pack, and I'm wondering what might be "triggering" towards customers?

delicate dove Nov 21, 2019, 1:28 PM

just follow the guidelines, rules, and make sure your pack is as performance friendly as possible.

anyone here had their pack featured after the new featuring criteria? Did it make an impact on sales?

@junior smelt They've been screwing with the login since they did a rework of the site around a month ago. It's worked like garbage for me since then. Constantly logging me out

delicate dove Nov 24, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

@little mango because UE4 is not some online hosting, if you want to give it away for free, use gumroad.

elfin plinth Nov 24, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

I guess they don't want free stuff getting visibility on the storefront that tries to sell similar things

#

Unity's store allows it tho and it does add to their ecosystem as it's easier to try things through the store

#

many paid packs have free samplers too distributed as separate asset package there

#

with UE4, you have to share random links to users for samplers

#

one issue with free stuff is that most who do share their things for free don't care about licensing

#

when you use marketplace, you are bound by the same marketplace licensing terms

#

so at least in theory it does give you extra safety when trying using free stuff (altho it doesn't prevent people still putting things for free that they don't hold rights to but this can happen even now with paid assets)

#

it would mainly protect the user if the content is legit (as there can't be any sketchy license or missing license)

#

that mentioned gumroad doesn't have some license that automatically applies, each asset has to have their own terms exposed somehow

little mango Nov 24, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

@delicate dove that ideology is why Unity's asset story is still better, the markeplace is the first place people will look, it still looks like a ghost town compared to Unity

frosty bluff Nov 24, 2019, 7:18 PM

#

@little mango You mean ghost town in terms of sales or amount of content?

little mango Nov 24, 2019, 7:21 PM

both I presume

It is not big deal in practice, as I think there are no any ads anyway, but still...

limber thunder Nov 24, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

@little mango I don't use Unity store, but I try Turbosquid once a while when looking for something free to prototype, and I honestly hate it. The amount of garbage is overhelming, and usually I don't find what I'm looking for before I get bored/iritated about scrolling and downloading random stuff with no use.
Maybe Unity store is different, but I was really glad when I saw UE restricts free stuff, this way I can relly on most of the free assets (I wasn't disapointed yet).

little mango Nov 24, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

there are not that many free things on the marketplace, but there are still many crap paid items so...

#

I would rather overall the marketplace to be more useful

#

I don't see assets being free changing the overall situation as far as crap goes, only that more crap will be free rather than paid which it is currently

    float fuel = 0;
    float intensity = 0;
    float maxLocalIntensity = 0;
    float resistance = 0;
    UParticleSystemComponent* fireParticle;
    //sound to be added soon

The fire system uses these exposed properties. Thinking about adding a custom health system with easy to manipulate modifiers with their own type names and multipliers. Who would like such a plugin that does a bunch of stuff like this? It's built fully modular and has no asset dependencies.

#

Ping me if this interests you. I'd love to give away the things I build which should be general purpose, modular, and useful enough for others to use.

#

Currently also have an inventory system and a foliage like tool that helps you spawn a bunch of actors easily in a similar fashion. And it uses normal meshes by default in the editor but replaces them with Actors at game initialization.

#

Ideas for things to build are also welcome. I'd just like to contribute.

limber thunder Nov 25, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

@real pendant it looks cool for stuff like in dark messiah, where you have ~5-10 objects in flames.
the most important problem is foliage. With no support for it you basically enforce devs not to use this big chunk of engine, and brushes are only small part of it, you won't make a whole foliage system on your own (did you consider working on different levels, baking lights etc?)
secondly, you won't populate the far-cry-like map with foliage as actors with more then 5 fps, and surely, not with every grass instance having it's own fire particle, sound. maybe if you handle this with instanced mesh and make a video with big map, full of those, to prove it's low cost I would consider buying it (well, of course with assumption I'm looking for something like this, which isn't true at this point :))

thorny compass Nov 25, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

@lavish swift Was told to turn off the adblocker app so I can log. And that did it.

real pendant Nov 25, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

Ah

#

@limber thunder The reason I decided to stop using it is because later on I can get around performance issues by having the actors reference a special Actor object of sorts or maybe a component that basically has it's own static mesh reference

#

And what you do is have it's lifetime managed by some kind of global data that takes care of all the ISMs or HISMs.

#

So you get the same performance benefits as the foliage tool but without the limitations.

#

And it does fine with working on different levels, it should work with lighting but I need to test more with how it's going to work as HISM.

#

And as for the second question you very much can have just as decent fps with them having their own particle systems and sound systems, they are only active when triggered.

#

What you see in the video uses a system of nodes, and they "tick" globally so that only ones in a specific static array have their logic dealt with. Usually you have a lot less "burning" than "burnable" so to speak.

#

This effectively cuts back the overhead.

#

And lastly to be fully honest I've no intentions of selling this stuff. But I do expect they be decent quality and scalable. I'm using everything for my own crafting game and I expect performance to be tolerable.

#

Giving away these for free honestly gives me a little reputation besides it's nice to give stuff to the community.

#

And i've seen no addons that actually do stuff for crafting games very well, at least in that they don't scale, there's not even a decent rts plugin yet. Using HISM and some other tricks can get people a very long way with a good backend. Maybe even with lockstep if a fixed point engine were possible to find.

#

The inventory system should also be perfectly flexible and scalable despite that it likes to use json to create it's backend. But it's data can be morphed runtime. But since it's using lots of TMaps of FNames to search stuff I'd expect performance to be decent enough even at large scales. Without having individual items be their own actors or such as i've seen of all the other inventory plugins... Which surprises me they even have a sell price because of that.

I've started selling in the marketplace some months back, but the first month I didn't make the $100 cutoff. According to the FAQ it could take up to a year to get that payment, does anyone here know more precise how long it takes?

#

Have been really happy with sales amount since then though, I'd recommend it to everyone

merry field Nov 26, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

It should just roll over into your next payment

#

Which is 45 days after the end of the month

#

So if you didn't earn enough in September, but September + October were > $100, then you should get paid on roughly the 15th of December

If you open Black Friday Sale page, u see about 250 pages of items on sale.
But if you want to see only animations, then u see only those that are NOT on sale.
For example: In Sales section i can clearly see asset 'Balance Animset', but i don't see it in animation section.
This makes shopping for only specific type of asset really inconvenient. Can please someone confirm?

@delicate dove aren't you worried the 70% discount so soon after launch will hurt overall sales?

What does it mean? what am I missing?

@spring swallow it wasn't it. I tried multiple tabs, relogin, everything. I left the browser open and tried again like an hour ago though and it worked.

#

do sellers make the prices higher one day before going to a discount? Is this allowed?

thorny compass Nov 30, 2019, 7:32 AM

#

In some countries this is illegal. Many traders though, do that weeks/months before the discount. But that in general, for UE - I dunno.

vapid tundra Nov 30, 2019, 8:09 AM

#

it's common practice on unreal mp

hasty nexus Nov 30, 2019, 8:36 AM

i don't think decent publishers are doing this. it's scummy and no one should buy from such "publishers"

topaz harness Nov 30, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

I have a very stupid question

#

say i got a asset pack from the store, and it is a sound pack, how to i add to project, directly into the sounds folder that i have?

#

whenever i try to add a project it creates its own folder in the main content screen and then prevents me from deleting it without first opening up the files and directly deleting it that wau ( which breaks any textures or materials applied to any objects in the pack and forces me to re apply them.

#

📎 unknown.png

#

the highlighted folder is where i want to directly import this asset pack into.

delicate dove Nov 30, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

you sadly cant, and would need to move it yourself.

hi, i exported a game to google play and i downloaded my game to my phone. But when i open my game it is getting error like that "Failed to open descriptor file. '../BGRSafe2/BGRSafe2.uproject". How can i fix that ? I am searching the solution but i didnt find ?

lunar gulch Nov 30, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

But that's what most sellers do in markets besides the UE4, making prices high one day or two days before the discount so people actually buy them and think it's a good price to get it for.

delicate dove Nov 30, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

looking at black friday, yes. but I would be rather upset to see mp-sellers do it.

@muted path this is not the place to ask for that. try #mobile or #ue4-general

Hey guys, I would like to create some scene and sell them on the marketplace to make me a bit of pocket money, but I'm not really sure what kind of scene I should do. I mean, I have a lot of idea of course, but why kind of scene would you buy guys?

thorny compass Nov 30, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

The other day I searched for school area. Most are single room, or few. There is one abandoned which fully fledged but that's it. So there is nothing in fully fledged. But this is maybe niche 🤔

quiet cedar Nov 30, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

I will probably try to create bigger scene, in that case a full school

#

Would you buy that sort of thing?

thorny compass Nov 30, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

At the end something modular which covers a full suite is much better I believe. Like you can keep the style easily more consistent.

#

I would, but depends on the result ofc 🙂

quiet cedar Nov 30, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

Yeah of course :)

#

And how much would you pay for it? I was thinking about something like 50€

thorny compass Nov 30, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

Sounds fair enough.

#

I mean if it can save me days for doing some meshes, (or pull from somewhere) texturing etc (im not good) I will go with it.

quiet cedar Nov 30, 2019, 6:42 PM

Okay thanks for your help!

thorny compass Nov 30, 2019, 6:42 PM

merry field Nov 30, 2019, 9:48 PM

I find there's people here most of the day, regardless of time zone

#

But this channel in general isn't very busy so you don't see them unless someone starts a conversation

gaunt flicker Nov 30, 2019, 10:41 PM

#

for whatever fucking reason

#

the 'start' field of the marketplace url is treated as a float

#

which means if you browse long enough at 100 items per page

#

you actually get floating point errors and it sends you right back to page 1 because the server interprets the url field as invalid

#

example:

#

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/event-sale?count=100&sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC&start=1639.9999999999998

#

this will start at the beginning even though its supposed to start on item 1640

north stirrup Nov 30, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

lmao

blazing harbor Nov 30, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

theres.. too much crap on these massive sales now. i dont even bother anymore. i literally look for the one or two things i need and see.
they should limit the entries.
post only x amount each day of the sale.
so each item is on for 24 hours and then a new set of items.

would be easier to look at

raven ferry Nov 30, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

I think there's a problem in the sortBy not in the count/start

#

I went back and forth in the sales page with count=100 and didn't have any problem

#

but sorting by price with a word search, usually doesn't work

grim canyon Dec 1, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

@lunar gulch definitely illegal in many countries and steam doesnt allow a price change 30 days before a sale for example. (im pretty sure they allow a reduction but not an increase)

@charred lake add it in a blank project, setup an example map and use zip-up project to share it

#

I cannot wait for assets I just bought in the sale to be Decembers free-for-the-month content 😄

toxic furnace Dec 1, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

can marketplace items share assets with eachother? for example if 4 marketplace items share the same base metal material (so that people who have all 4 of them doesn't need to pay the memory cost of duplicating same texture 4 times)

old plume Dec 1, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

I'd still include it in each marketplace submission for people who only buy one of the 4 assets. If all 4 assets are included in the same pack, then yeah all 4 using the same texture makes sense.

toxic furnace Dec 1, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

I mean 4 different marketplace products

old plume Dec 1, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

You could always in the description of each product put a note letting people know the material is the same and can be replaced with one from the other packs to save space

toxic furnace Dec 1, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

ok, I think you're right.
I wish you were allowed to put thing in subfolders like
Content/CompanyX/ProductX ProductY SharedStuff

#

so that when you bought one thing it would just replace anything inside of sharedstuff

What do you think guys, will anyone find useful a plugin which implements ECS pattern for Unreal?

thorny compass Dec 2, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

There are few quite good open ECS projects out there. In C++ tho. Also at the end, Unreal has some tools for this. Not sure what you want.

fervent berry Dec 2, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

@thorny compass which tools do you mean? I did not saw any ECS implementation in Unreal (for gameplay logic)...
Of course there are existing ECS libraries, but I'm talking about making own ecs implementation specifically for Unreal

next badge Dec 2, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

ECS as in entity component system?

thorny compass Dec 2, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

Well, its not technically ECS but the actor component system I meant. So if you want the full blown stuff, gotta make it. Then depends what kind of problems you want to solve with it, you maybe are better off to use something else of the existing systems (like the Gameplay abilities, etc.)

fervent berry Dec 2, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

@next badge yes

#

@thorny compass it's compleetely different things

thorny compass Dec 2, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

Yeah, I know. But depending on how deep you want to go you may spent a lot of effort on this one.

mighty yacht Dec 2, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

The problem is, if you try to generalize it to a point, where it is universally usable, you will spend time which you are likely not to make commercial recovers from a marketplace plugin.

delicate dove Dec 2, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

bit like that guy who was spending 3 or so years on a scheduling/trello/whatever plugin

#

still in beta or so

fervent berry Dec 2, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

well I already have a simple ECS implementation in my game. The question is about make it nice and smooth for others, since I have a lot of stuff hardcodes for now

#

for sure it will take a time… that's why the question - if it will be useful for people…

daring raven Dec 2, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

for sure, a complex system like that

#

by the time you make it generally useful for others it'll be hard to recoup any development costs on the marketplace

thorny compass Dec 2, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

Yeah, likely there will be a lot of interest. Depending on your achievements. Personally, me not as I'm dev by trade and prefer tweaks of my own. Except if you make something really inspiring.

hasty nexus Dec 2, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

best thing to do: develop for your own project, things you need which you already account in man hours and put on marketplace just for the extra revenue.

#

this way you don't risk investing time in flops

#

you get to work on your things and also make some cash on the side

#

this is for code stuff. for 3d assets, vfx, etc, you can dedicate more time as those sell very well no matter what.

#

and you can sell those in lots of places

#

but asking what people would like to see on the marketplace wont get you anywhere, 3-4 people will say this, 3-4 will say that. in the end when you pick a project and submit it you'll get 10 sales 😄

delicate dove Dec 2, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

very well is an overstatement on ue4 marketplace :p

hasty nexus Dec 2, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

yeah but you have so many platforms for 3d assets

delicate dove Dec 2, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

was talking to some friends who sell on both unity and ue4, (sound, meshes, environments) and they all showed 2-10 times more sales on unity.

#

though, they are some of the better quality content peeps.

#

feels small compared to them

hasty nexus Dec 2, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

hehe, you're doing just fine. but for code stuff. once you develop for unreal, iut will stick with unreal only. if you wanna go to unity you have to re-write everything

#

so 3d assets are honey if you got the talent ofc

delicate dove Dec 2, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

same with vfx :p

#

its not that easy to move em to unity

#

cascade is not shuriken

hasty nexus Dec 2, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

Nope. They didn't go 90% for Black Friday....

#

Sounds really weird when you've been around for awhile

#

Also, another issue is the "free monthly packs"

#

As nice as it is. They need to stop that 🙂

#

People are getting burned quite a bit, buying a decently expensive pack, for it to go free the next week/month

#

Of course, it's one of those...if you really need it now, well, you really need it now.

stray swan Dec 2, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

Honestly they should offer a refund if you bought a item that becomes free within a week or whatever? I mean they did retroactive refunds for quixel for a year..

#

But I'm curious what items on sale people think are a real good deal?

worn oyster Dec 2, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

if u want a good deal get something you need right now 😛

#

than if it happens to be on sale its nice

stray swan Dec 2, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

I don't really have a specific need, but if there was some asset some people think would be very useful in general I might take a look.

#

Biggest issue with the marketplace is it's hard to tell how good an asset is in reality

worn oyster Dec 2, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

genarally stuff gets kinda specific, any pack that tries 1 size fits all gets overcomplicated 😛

stray swan Dec 2, 2019, 7:26 PM

Yeah but some stuff is interesting in general

Quality of life stuff

I've never had to give a refund myself but I had Epic contact me telling me someone tried to fraudulently purchase my product and that they handled it and issued the refund and that I would see a -1 on my sales report. IDK why people are always tring to steal my stuff but oh well.

quaint cedar Dec 4, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

We had this a couple of times too. Epic should contact you if that happens but I don't recall that always happening for us.

All of these are flammable, each grass mesh is actually an actor with it's own instance hence how it's able to get above 100 FPS. That's 4k grass/actors by the way.

#

All able to run their own logic. Also comes with a tool to place actors as you would normal meshes with a foliage tool so you can quickly build dense scenes with dynamic plants/blocks for your own crafting games. And this tool IS FREE.
So am asking how much the community would want this.

#

Mind, this hardware is old and shit, and NOT using the hism manager I built (having each actor have a normal static mesh) dunked the fps from 100 to 30.

#

I've already a few tools prototyped that I think could help the community, this is a couple of them, feedback is what i'm looking for at this point so that they are better developed for you guys.

#

So if anyone would like to add their two cents, or act as an honorable genny pig in testing this stuff out, please ping me.

Question for people that develop code plugins. I'm currently working on a thing that has roughly half the functionality in code plugins and half in blueprints and features a ton of content(meshes, sounds, levels, configs,input etc). So it would be something appropriate for the complete project categories but since it has code it will have to be distributed as a code plugin. How do I include all the rest of the functionality properly? I know code plugins can have content, but the content is meant to be like a starter project template to build upon and change it. Having it as part of the content of the plugin won't work since it will change everything.

#

I saw some developers have systems similar to mine. How do you guys do it?

#

Do you just have a separate demo project on google drive that requires the plugin to run? Can a user ever manage to run content that uses the demo project even if they don;'t have the plugin? Edit: Kust tried to copy the uassets to another project that doesn't have the plugin enabled and the ones derived from plugin classes don;t work. but the rest do so that's not good.

delicate dove Dec 4, 2019, 12:33 PM

#

@real pendant that should be put in either #work-in-progress if its not done, or #released if its available. not really here.

real pendant Dec 4, 2019, 12:43 PM

#

Thanks for telling me ^-^

#

Hmm

#

@delicate dove Does it really go there if it's a plugin though?

#

All that stuff looks like project showcases.

delicate dove Dec 4, 2019, 12:50 PM

plugin is also a project :p

i know its a bit confusing, bear with us for now

Update of EasySky incoming. A new feature has been added: Toggle lights during day/night transitions.

The feature includes the following:

Support for adding custom blueprint classes to a list of actors that need to be toggled on and off
Actor tags are used to determine which of the actors need to be toggled
Lights are toggled in random order over a period of time (customizable, 1 hour in the example above)
Support for point lights and spotlights
Supports Movable and Stationary lights

@rapid silo does the skylight use cubemap blending or does it just change the brightness?

rapid silo Dec 5, 2019, 10:22 AM

#

📎 CubemapBlend.gif

#

@young nimbus cubemap blending as you can see here

delicate dove Dec 5, 2019, 10:23 AM

#

@rapid silo there is a game called chronicles of spellborn.
also, mp-content release stuff goes into #released

young nimbus Dec 5, 2019, 10:23 AM

#

@rapid silo nice. Can the user define how many captures it uses during the timespan of a single day?

#

like, one per hour or one per 6 hours or so

rapid silo Dec 5, 2019, 10:27 AM

#

@delicate dove I know, im working on that game :p

#

@young nimbus no, its limited to 2 only

young nimbus Dec 5, 2019, 10:28 AM

#

I did a (now abandoned) toy project where it was possible to define how many captures the system used. It could be a useful feature for your system

#

then in editor it advanced time and took scene captures at different times of day and saved them next to the map file

#

and used them for the skylight blending

#

just throwing the idea out there 😄

rapid silo Dec 5, 2019, 10:30 AM

#

@young nimbus yeah thats a good idea! The automatic capturing was on my todo list, but weather has a higher priority 😄

young nimbus Dec 5, 2019, 10:31 AM

#

you could even do the capture after map is loaded I guess

#

then you wouldn't have to concern yourself with serializing the packages onto disk

delicate dove Dec 5, 2019, 1:46 PM

@rapid silo whut? are you revamping spellborn?

at some point we where not even allowed to mention our income until Allar, hero of the peole got mr Sweeney to revert it :p

@limber thunder besides more packs, market yourself and your content. thats... all I can say really :/

quiet cedar Dec 6, 2019, 9:38 AM

#

Products may only have a price of Free if they are Code Plugins or by Epic’s request.
But you can apply for the permanent free collection right?

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 9:41 AM

#

that is... kinda by epics request. (if you submit for monthly free).. i think.

#

they keep the permanently free details vague

astral flint Dec 6, 2019, 10:09 AM

#

@delicate dove This doesn't surprise me. Your pack was on the first site, in the first row of this sale. Lucky you. At least if the sorting was set to "newest first" I sold 27 units at page 40, or something. But I don't want to complain, since I sold it for $20 each.

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 10:24 AM

#

Yea I did notice the randomization was not working again.

#

afaicr there should be something in place that randomizes the content every X hours or so

spring swallow Dec 6, 2019, 10:42 AM

@delicate dove could you live comfortably solely on your MP earnings yet?

If epic req my asset to be free. Do i still get money ?

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 1:27 PM

#

obviously, you'd need to sign a contract and such

quiet cedar Dec 6, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

Wait.. The authors of free for the month get money for it?

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 1:45 PM

#

its clearly stated so hehe

agile shadow Dec 6, 2019, 1:46 PM

#

you get a fixed sum

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

id prefer a 1 dollar/download, but.. well.. not gonna happen

agile shadow Dec 6, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

well I got roughly 40k downloads when it was free so that would have been a pretty good deal!

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 1:49 PM

#

my point exactly :p

agile shadow Dec 6, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

It wasn't too bad though. I expected it would completely kill the sales of the product in the long run but it was only for a month or 2. It's selling normalish now

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

i noticed quite a reduction of sales ever since

agile shadow Dec 6, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

guess it varies based on the type of asset

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

dont remember how many downloads, but it was somewhere around 50k

#

yea

#

and it had been available for a few years

#

so its somewhat natural

spring swallow Dec 6, 2019, 1:56 PM

#

Does this mean that a high quality product can make you $35000 if you set the price to $1?

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

not really

#

if its 1 dollar, many people will think its a bad product. and not everyone needs it.

daring raven Dec 6, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

what's the price floor?

agile shadow Dec 6, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

5

#

and anyway a lot of people download it just to have it when it's free. If you charge something, even 1$ the number of purchases goes drastically down

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 2:04 PM

#

yea, though I did some testing with the 4 element packs, one being 2 dollar, and the other 4

#

the 4 dollar one was purchased about 40% less than the 2 dollar one

#

but made slightly more money because it was 4 dollars

#

and even then, it did not sell 30k times :p

spring swallow Dec 6, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

Higher prices seem more profitable to me now

delicate dove Dec 6, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

look at identical packs, see if yours adds more or less, price accordingly (and competatively)

zealous ibex Dec 6, 2019, 2:31 PM

So for seeing sales for a specific asset / stuff like that this may be of use to some sellers: https://github.com/gabeeedev/marketplace_stat (not mine; I recall seeing it on the forums way back, been of great help for me personally; and if I'm not supposed to link GitHubs, let me know and I'll remove this message) - it allows you to filter for specific assets / select specific periods of time / see which assets are earning the most & least / do stuff like that; manual counting can be seriously tedious ^^

It isn't an unreal tool so I don't think so

Sadly I'm not at my computer or I would have done it

Hi everyone, long time lurker here, on the topic of epic games launcher, does anyone have a fix to the sluggishness of it while having tons of marketplace content? I have 18 pages of stuff in the vault now - years of buying things that i "might use one day" - and this causes my launcher to get about 5 fps. Its CPU bound, it maxes out 1 core to 100% when scrolling, or right clicking on projects, any type of UI thing really.

thorny compass Dec 9, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

Yet another voice down the pit. You are not alone, join us and pray for a brighter future.

dusk carbon Dec 9, 2019, 5:26 PM

Even just a simple "favorites" or "archive" or "hidden" tab would do the trick. Could clear up the clutter thats not needed currently.

thorny compass Dec 9, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

Shh... I know, I know... We know.

graceful arrow Dec 9, 2019, 6:47 PM

Get around this problem by using multiple accounts and only having certain assets in each one.... 😄

delicate dove Dec 12, 2019, 8:53 AM

hey hey, @onyx flower
You might want to suggest the people who make the launcher to not share the path between installing games and installing engines.
they should be separate...
uninstalling 4.23 because it used the games path

merry field Dec 12, 2019, 2:08 PM

Yes, that is very annoying

I'd vote for separating the EGS and UE4 altogether :p

it just creates a lot of unnecessary pain for devs

I could do that at this point though 😛 but like a dang fool I added all the free games to my dev account

elfin plinth Dec 13, 2019, 1:38 AM

#

I have separate accounts myself

#

and it's pain to handle

#

have to constantly log out and in from different accounts as you can't have like dev account logged in at the same time with your personal game account

should I do a top-down sci-fi base kit? any interest?

quaint cedar Dec 13, 2019, 9:06 AM

#

It makes sense for Epic to keep everything in one launcher though. Devs see Games they can buy and Gamers see UE4 and ModTools and might start their Dev career.
Splitting it has to benefits for them.

Really wish Marketplace would enforce all packs with humanoid/bipedal skeletons to have retargetted to Epic Skeleton at the very least. @onyx flower Any chance of that?

#

I know it's been brought up a few times. But never seems to get traction as it seems the Marketplace teams want to allow almost anything at the cost of dev time from the customers.

#

(Especially in high-priced packs)

#

looking at you Apocalypse Pack

thorny compass Dec 14, 2019, 9:58 AM

#

I would say that all biped skels assets must have a note, whether they are compatible or not. Rest is up to the authors and buyers.

My goodness, how long does it take to resolve the Unknown error occured bug...

#

I can't post an answer with 992/1000 characters, because probably someone doesn't properly check the freaking character count.

Newlines? lol

quaint cedar Dec 14, 2019, 10:02 AM

Yeah, I already reported the bug, even with a text they can use to reproduce it.

You'd think that an AnswerBox breaking bug is hotfixed.

You certainly live on the edge tho. Split on less.

quaint cedar Dec 14, 2019, 10:03 AM

It's a properly formatted answer. Taking away the new lines makes it hardly readable

#

Oh nice. the counted list you can use is just removed when you submit the answer

#

"Hey, should we double check that it works?"
"Na, just ship."

You can post it without new lines and then edit them back in xD

#

@gaunt flicker hope he makes a ton of easy cash on it. Love it when people latch onto a trendy thing, pump something out (as long as it's well done of course)

#

@thorny compass hmm. So you still think it should be optional....even if seller tells everyone the same thing... That the skeleton CAN be retargetted to Epic Skeleton. This is a Unity to Unreal asset maker btw. They also sell packs the same price on each platform with less on Unreal side. (No anim BPs, no Particle FX usually, etc)

daring raven Dec 14, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

maaaan synty characters are a pain to retarget

#

I assume 💯 that's who you're talking about

thorny compass Dec 14, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

I think the hassle here is that you have expensive item which is expected to provide better. This is general complain and you can fight any seller for any feature on that topic. What should be made really is to have better way to share the user experience. Consider other possible issues too. Fixing the biped skeletons to be always extension of UE Manny is just one of the nails and will likely add just more hassle for Epic to manage. This was just a speculation, I really do not know the reasons. Either way, I don't mind actually this happening, but it seems narrow fix, with less gain.

lone mountain Dec 14, 2019, 5:16 PM

#

yeah, I guess that's my biggest issue

#

If this were a $20 pack, I might be less inclined to complain

#

But it's a $300 pack

#

And since Epic has been letting them get away with it for years

#

And they are probably one of Epic's biggest sellers

raven ferry Dec 14, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

@frigid kayak Adobe/Mixamo Fuse has zombies, you can create there, rig at mixamo.com and retarget the skeleton

hasty moon Dec 15, 2019, 2:32 AM

how to upload your characters to the marketplace should i use default rpg project or a blank project (my character has the epic skeleton)

thorny compass Dec 15, 2019, 7:09 AM

@hasty nexus A question about your Mutli Task plugin: is it supposed to support in-editor use? It doesn't seem to work as expected there. (On Complete / On Cancel nodes never fire, and if you try to use it in a Blutility it gives a lot of warnings because it has no world context.)

hasty nexus Dec 15, 2019, 5:36 PM

#

@merry field free version doesn't support editor standalone. only in editor viewport

#

Pro version works in editor standalone as well

merry field Dec 15, 2019, 5:36 PM

#

What do you mean by "editor standalone"?

hasty nexus Dec 15, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

oh now i get what you're saying. yes, it needs world context object. it should specify in output window that it needs it

#

other than that

📎 unknown.png

#

this is what i mean as editor standalone

merry field Dec 15, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

Ah, I'd have called that "run standalone game from editor" or similar

#

It specifies that in the output window but there's no pin to include one

hasty nexus Dec 15, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

yeah, that doesn't work in free version, I'm gonna enable it in next version as there is no real reason it's not there, just a little bit lazy.

merry field Dec 15, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

Aha

#

Should definitely document the difference, since I was just testing it out and was confused as to why (the first thing I tried) didn't work

#

The other thing I noticed is this:

#

📎 unknown.png

#

The bottom print text will never fire if you call it in editor, but it will if you call it from in-game

#

(the loop-and-wait method works in both)

#

excellent. i'm gonna bring the free version up a little bit. thanks for letting me know.

merry field Dec 15, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

Cool. Now I need to see if the thing I had in mind will actually work multi-threaded (I suspect I'll get issues with concurrent modification of lists), will let you know if I find any other issues

hasty nexus Dec 15, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

if you keep the read/writing in sync you wont have any issues with it.

#

but if you need further help with sync tools like mutex and thread safe bools, or queues, you might wanna check the Pro. Also the Pro version has Game Thread Async nodes that can help with stuff that can't be executed on background thread.

#

however, if you need further help you can join my discord anytime, it's on the plugins page

@heavy peak yeah that problem has been ignored by epic for a loooong time. Hopefully one day soon it gets to the top of the to-do list, but i'm not holding my breath.

In the meantime I find this trick makes things a little less painful; in the vault search bar "-paragon -inifinty -megascans" (without the quotations) will remove most of the free epic content. Unfortunately has to be pasted each time you need it, but can speed up tracking down an addon whose name you've forgotten

Sooo apparently you cannot open art assets in older Unreal Engine versions. Would be great if there was a tool to quickly convert assets. If not, I will have to manually convert a boatload of meshes and materials 😅

merry field Dec 23, 2019, 4:57 PM

You need to make your products in the oldest version of Unreal possible, as you can go forwards but not backwards

I think generally 4.16 is considered old enough

Are marketplace publishers allowed to post reviews of their own products using fake accounts?
I think I've stumbled upon one

#

Multiple fake reviews in what I assume is an attempt to boost visibility of their product in the marketplace

thorny compass Dec 24, 2019, 1:58 AM

#

Most reviews are completely useless: Fantastic, Does not work, Great job, etc...

ancient flame Dec 24, 2019, 2:04 AM

#

Obviously it's misleading for potential buyers.
This one is systematic.
12 of 13 reviews are most likely fake. All 12 gives 5 stars.
1 review seemed to be an genuine one. And angry at that. 1 star.
The one genuine review was reported as "abusive", probably by the publisher.

thorny compass Dec 24, 2019, 2:14 AM

#

For sure it's not okay. If you can make a case, you can inform the MP team.

ancient flame Dec 24, 2019, 2:17 AM

#

Well I already collected a bunch of evidence :)
Was hoping I could send it to someone over Discord but I suppose they are all out on xmas vacation at this point.

My favorite is the part where one review is identical to a comment on one of the publishers youtube videos.
And the publishers response to the review is identical to the publishers reply on the youtube-comment :D
