I want to know can I use Paragon characters in my comercial game projects.

yes, as long as you're also using Unreal

anyone have idea why i cant connect to marketplace thru firefox but chrome can?

@deft basin Yes I'm using unreal engine thanks

@ebon leaf chrome have session of your id but firefox browser don't have a session you need to login marketplace login page

it wont even connect at all

delicate dove Mar 13, 2020, 1:05 PM

iirc there is a bug in firefox + mp that causes it.

all i know that stupid firefox updated itself today

#

connection there i guess

proud laurel Mar 13, 2020, 1:08 PM

@ebon leaf use default chrome for now

Or use edge chromium

Hi guys. I am wondering if I am allowed to use the fire sprite sheet that comes with unreal to make the fire for my torches and fireplace that I plan on selling as part of a kit?

delicate dove Mar 13, 2020, 11:59 PM

that should be fine

#

quite a lot of vfx packs use it even

but generally it should not be a mp pack build around it

**3.6.1.d Sales must have a discount percentage from 10-50% off and the discount in price must amount to a minimum of $1 USD in savings.
**Does this mean max discount percentage is %50 now? Last i did was in december and i did %70 off.Can someone explain?

graceful arrow Mar 16, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

it's to stop "OMG I have to beat Creator x prices to sell" and everyone does that and makes nothing

delicate dove Mar 16, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

they also limited the amount of packs you can put on sale in one go

real dust Mar 16, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Sales devalue products, constant sales where people lower prices by 75% devalue them like no tomorrow, and devalued products have you end up with a horrible ecosystem for creators

#

So it's restricted in the interest of keeping the entire marketplace healthy, rather than getting some creators a bit more sales

graceful arrow Mar 16, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

It also stops certain sellers from selling a product at a inflated price, only to have it on sale all the time to make people think they are geting a good deal

delicate dove Mar 16, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

like udemy does :p

real dust Mar 16, 2020, 1:33 PM

(Also I've got to wonder about why you'd possibly put your product on -70%, just sell it for less)

Sell it for less? Most of them are at $4.99. xD

Does anyone know if you're allowed to make for example a modular set pack and also a template that would include the same models as long as they all belong to you?

Hey, just wanted to ask if there is a way to import assets from the market into a specific folder in a project so it doesn't just put it in contents.

delicate dove Mar 20, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

not really, generally what people do is install the mp-content in a separate project, move it to a better suited folder, fix up redirectors, and then migrate it to the project you want it in

merry field Mar 20, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

I just made a subfolder under content for my game

#

put all my content in there

#

And so the marketplace content can make their own subfolders

#

Put a dash in front of my game's content folder so it appears on top

dark current Mar 21, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

to piggyback off that because the screen is still in my clipboard, the green is your game folder, for anything that has been created specifically for your game, or perhaps copied from something else and modified for your game. the red is for any external content like marketplace stuff

Hey all, considering putting out some content, would those of you with some decently performing assets say it's a good passive stream of income, or is it quite time consuming ensuring it's updated, supported, etc.?

merry field Mar 24, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

What kind of content are you talking about?

#

As the answer to all of those will depend on that

#

For example, it's easy to keep Blueprint code updated (occasionally have to fix something with an engine update), whereas C++ would be more upkeep. Assets such as models should require pretty much no upkeep.

#

Support, depends how complicated the thing is, and also how many people actually buy it

#

I would imagine that the better your income stream, the more support requests to deal with

#

Example: I have a small Blueprint pack up on the marketplace, very minimal upkeep, I need to spend maybe an hour on it each time there's an engine update. Very few support requests. But it also doesn't make a huge amount of money, selling maybe 8-10 units a month.

#

Anyone know what tutorial this is from? I've seen several drones on the marketplace that are all variations on this theme and I've also seen drones on other 3D asset sites using this same style. I can only assume this must be from a youtube tutorial or sample or something: https://cdn1.epicgames.com/ue/product/Screenshot/SciFiDroneScreenshot32-1920x1080-3b4dbc537ae8c76ca321ad5d9e35e14b.jpg

Is ci3 worth it? I know the dev doesnt really support it anymore and I heard that the discord is really messy. Looks like there is a lot with it, but Idk if it is worth it if there is a lack of support.

Additionally what are good animation packs? I personally dont like the look of kubolds animations, but those packs seem to have good reviews.

Is there a way to combine MP assets I own into a one to make installing multiple packs less hassle? I have the polygon asset packs and will always be using all of them in projects together...for example

@ebon leaf i would like to know as well

real dust Mar 26, 2020, 6:00 PM

@queen temple My strategy for that sort of thing is to just make a template project, add all of those assets, put them into a single folder in the project

And then just copy that folder to any other project I want them in

Heyho humans, I am about to sell my first packs on the unreal marketplace. I watched all the vids that unreal shares to set things up but couldnt find info about how to make the assets available in a wide variety of engine versions. Would love to have someone share his process on setting things up from version x-to the actual version. Thanks! 🙂

merry field Mar 28, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

You just need to make the project in the oldest version of Unreal Engine possible

#

Depending on the type of asset, it will just work in any later version

quick question would anyone want a tool that makes it easy for them to add dozens of thousands or more actors with "mostly" static meshes, that can occasionally go dynamic or be removed/added at runtime. by doing instancing in the background. we have a foliage tool however that is absolutely not sufficient for this task, which may be relevant to games that involve open world crafting.

#

i came up with a half baked solution a while ago, am a little aggravated at the lack of articles about this topic. the engine is made to look like it and it's plugins are sufficient for genres which involve lots of heavy work, when really i'm finding a lot of lackluster with performance.

#

but would like to contribute research and solutions of my own if anyone actually has any kind of interest.

#

and most of the articles i read about performance don't even touch on the issue of having lots of game objects, either through each individual actor or through other means.

#

so am i the only one who thinks we need solutions to this, which may be solvable through plugins?

rapid ocean Mar 28, 2020, 11:54 PM

Does someone know why is there no "relevant" sorting option for marketplace for browsing discounts or content in general without searching for specific terms but just exploring?

I feel like the free for the month assets are getting worse each month. Cant really complain though bc it's free stuff

delicate dove Mar 29, 2020, 7:45 PM

they just added a bleepload of free flora-vegitation content, as in A LOT

graceful arrow Mar 29, 2020, 7:45 PM

Worse? Not at all. They may not suit my purposes at the moment but certainly wouldn't say they were any worse or better than previous ones.

#

^ Yep Nils stuff is fantastic

merry field Mar 29, 2020, 7:49 PM

#

I think the nature content is probably the best free stuff they've given away overall

#

Though that was outside of the usual monthly deployment

#

Mostly because it looks very high quality and is generic enough that it's useful for a lot of projects

ebon leaf Mar 29, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

@graceful arrow I guess that makes sense. Maybe I'm being too harsh.

merry field Mar 29, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

Whereas a lot of the monthly free stuff might be quite specific and not suitable for every project (and I think most people would say that assets they can't use in their own projects are "bad")

ebon leaf Mar 29, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

Yeah, I guess I didnt think about that

#

Would you guys say CI3 is worth it? I heard there is no support and that the discord is a mess, but it looks amazing.

merry field Mar 29, 2020, 7:52 PM

#

For example, as a more programming-oriented person, I'd consider most code / blueprint assets to be useless (I'd rather make those systems myself), whereas someone who is not as good at coding might prefer those over art assets, for example

"CI3"?

real dust Mar 30, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

sadly not all reviewers are identical

#

Definitely

#

Still pisses me off though

#

I'd also say it makes more sense for the an asset to be reviewed by the same person every time, if possible

#

Because that way there's just one person that needs to get into a project

#

Alas

#

if you didnt already, make one setup with mild wind, stronger winds, and mach 10 jetstream storms
I'm honestly annoyed enough to just not do anything with the marketplace anymore

(I'm also tempted to say a lot more, but I'll hold off, because Epic doesn't give a damn about opinions regarding the marketplace anyway)

why asset store is so expensive 😦

For example I live in Turkey and I'm student I do not have a regular monthly income. I am trying to improve myself in level design but I do not have materials and prices are very expensive

real dust Mar 31, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

The asset store isn't really designed to be a place for students to learn, it's intended to be a marketplace for developers to buy assets for their productions

#

In the scheme of a proper game, the cost of asset store packs is actually absurdly low

rough rivet Mar 31, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

unfortunately very expensive for me because of the exchange rate difference

I'm so unlucky

#

it’s very well done. that said, it really depends on what usages you can think of. for a game, after all it’s only a single room.

#

even 150 is low considering the amount of efforts that go into producing such quality assets

#

but you have to compare with what you get for similar price on the marketplace

#

in comparison, your mars corridors can find an easier usage in a game

#

all of these, btw, seem to be great.

gaunt flicker Mar 31, 2020, 7:08 PM

It is easily worth $150

I wouldn't buy it at that price but definitely no question about value imo

I'd choose a different sound for the trailer, that one sounds like it's clipping from being too loud

ebon leaf Mar 31, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

@tough cipher I would say that looks very high quality and is definitely worth more than 150. However, you should keep in mind that the marketplace really is used by indie devs, who can he cheap sometimes. Which is why something as high as 150 dollars might not end up getting purchased as much. You just have to keep in mind where you plan on selling and who you plan on selling it to. Also just look at the competition and see the prices on similar products.

There is only one other Sci Fi Hospital in the Marketplace and it's from 2016 and it sells for 79 dollars. That maybe because there is no demand but thought since I'm doing this Mars theme it could use a sick bay.

north stirrup Apr 1, 2020, 4:01 AM

#

@tough cipher set the price high, and then do sales.

#

It's important to keep room for sales in your initial price

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

@north stirrup yea I see that but also hear people saying why don't you set at lower price and stop doing sales every month. In my experience people respond to sales. At least after the intial first months I sell 10 times more during sales than I do without. I hate it but it seems it works. I also want to keep prices higher for everybody instead of racing to the bottom.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

I personally hate the price high but do sales mentality....that's like finding a 100$ eBay item listed for 10$ +90$shipping....feels exactly the same...just consider how much YOU would buy it for off sale....if 150$ makes you squirm a little...then obviously it's going to make a lot of other people squirm...

#

That's not saying it's not worth it... It's beautiful and the quality is there...but when you go to a section in the mp and list high to low...does it look like your asset belongs amongst the other assets in that price range?

#

That is very good that the people are responding to your sales... But it should also be a red flag to you if all you ever do is sell your items when they're on sale

#

If you're getting one sold every 6 months.. but then you hit a sale and 30 people buy it... It speaks to your pricing dramatically...imagine how many you would have sold had it been listed at the sale price from the beginning

#

And that's not to mention that the epic store doesn't even have a wishlist which I really wish it did

#

By the time your item goes on sale I've already forgotten that I wanted it

#

And as a final note...as someone that purchases mp items like a whale...the only things I would ever pick up over 100$ are items like synty apoc, and synty new castle...with 1000s of assets in each...other than that systems<- ...dynamic node is an example of what I mean...toolboxes useable in multiple games...Plug ins with no set style

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

@queen temple Thanks for your input you make a good point if only there was a way to tell if I just lowered it to the sales price if I would get as many sales. I mean if I think that if I lowered it to 10 dollars and everybody bought it just because it was cheap I'd make alot of money but forget about longevity because everyone who have it right. There is something to be said for selling few at higher price there may still be a stronger need or more desire for it longer.

#

That's where I'm headed.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

That's another thing you could sell this item for $50... Make sleeping quarters and storage rooms another $50 item.... Make the control room a $50 item... Make one more room a $50 item... Then turn around and sell the full package for a hundred and fifty

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

I have a control room half way and then I can bundle them together.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:51 PM

#

I would see all your other rooms and be like damn that's a deal it's like getting one of these for free

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

I have Living Quarters selling for 200 dollars.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

And how many sales have you actually made on it off sale?

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

You'd be surprised about 25 so for.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

Does it have way more than this pack?

#

I'm guessing yes

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:53 PM

#

Yes

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

I often look at assets and think how can I repurpose this

#

If I buy this office can I turn it into other buildings can I use this furniture in a house

#

The asset you made is probably full of things that can be used in a lot of different places

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:54 PM

#

It sold way more in the begining because of better exposer in the marketplace.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

Yeah the marketplace I barely look at the front page personally.... Sometimes I look at showcase but from my understanding you have to actually have a hot item for it to show up there

#

I want you to take a look at synty studios New Castle... And see just what you get for $200

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

Yea never been showcased.

#

Ok

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

It was almost an instantaneous buy for me

#

You'll have to go to their website it's not on the market place yet

#

I bought it before they even did the ue4 conversion on the assets

#

Caise it's a $300 pack being sold for $200 right now

#

But I know that I can literally take those assets and make any kind of fantasy game I want

#

Low poly

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Yea low poly is much easier to make and modify already made peices.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

I'm just showing you the mentality of a buyer

#

I see that and I go holy cow

#

I don't care if I have to put off my rent I'm buying this now

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

Yea I get your point, but there should be room for both mass quantities of fast food and elegant dinning small portions quality, No?

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Absolutely which is why I suggested not 10$ but 50$

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Different Buyers and Sellers

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 1:02 PM

#

Consider this ...I own over 400 assets... It's like I'm trying to catch all the Pokemon here, things I'll probably never use

#

I'm telling you my train of thought as somebody that frivolously spends money

#

People that are not me will probably be tighter than I am

#

Hell I even own reallusion suite of tools and will probably never use it after dumping $1,500 into that

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

I hear ya, it's a great discussion.

#

Yea I bought that too.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

So my suggestion is $50 a room and then a package that includes them all at a much higher price but still discounted compared to buying them all separately

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

Then asked for a refund.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

I considered a refund after reading their terms of service and use but was already too late

#

They have a lot of dangerous small print

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

Oh, yea I realised I coudn't use it to sell charaters so I use Make Human completely Creative Commons 0 you can sell anything you make with it.

#

📎 Shot_32.jpg

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

It's so much worse than that... They're free distribution agreement has terms hidden deep in it that state that if you basically go viral with your game you have to give them a cut of the profits from that point on

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

This Make Human pretty comparable.

queen temple Apr 1, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

And you have to list them in the credits or splash screen...
They can take your characters and game story and use it as advertising

#

But that's a totally different discussion

tough cipher Apr 1, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Yea, glad I got a refund.

#

This charater was made with Charater Creator 3 and the first one with Make Human

but then go:
"Collision: no"
"Vertex Count: 11000"
"LODs: no"

If I'm using a preview version of the engine, no marketplace assets want to be compatible with that project. Is there a simple way to force it in?

tame compass Apr 2, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

@delicate dove it is depend on context. If its skeletal latge monster or humanoid. Its optimized.

Also making LOD based skeletal mesh is suicidal if the mesh is organic.

Beside modern AAA games can take 10k vert easily

delicate dove Apr 2, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

<_< he said to someone with 18 years of gamedev-related experience.

#

and in this case its just some very static vines and such

zealous ibex Apr 2, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

@ionic urchin As far as I'm aware your only real option would be to create a project using the (latest) supported version of Unreal Engine, then adding it to that (temporary) project, and finally using the right-click > migrate option in the content browser to move them over to your project running under the preview version of the engine.

short flower Apr 2, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

@ionic urchin Hit the add to project button then tick the show all project box. You can then add the content to whatever engine version you want

ionic urchin Apr 2, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

@short flower tried that, but if it isn't yet supported, it throws a red error message

short flower Apr 2, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

Use the version selector at the bottom of the window to add it

ionic urchin Apr 2, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

@zealous ibex Just finished downloading it. Honestly, I kinda figured it'd end up being this, I was just hoping there would be an easier way.

short flower Apr 2, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

📎 Untitled.png

#

Set that to whatever the last supported version is

ionic urchin Apr 2, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

@short flower at the bottom of the screen, the dropdown only contains the versions it's compatible with. In my case, 4.23 and 4.24

short flower Apr 2, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

That's okay

#

Set it to 4.24 and it should work

I would guess that if anything, they may have it when they release the next collection of free monthly assets. Maybe next week? Unless that's too short notice...

Still, it is right around the time they had a Spring sale last year

Hi. I am makong asset for 1 and half year. And still confused what people want in 3d asset mesh.

Do they want character at all ?

Since making character is tiresome as hell compared to props.

merry field Apr 3, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

That's a hard question to answer without some kind of market analysis

#

Anyone here could say "Well, I want X!", but that could just be one person

#

I would venture that the things which will be most useful are things which are generic enough that they can be used in a wide variety of different games and settings

subtle plover Apr 3, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

Hi everyone, I've submitted my plugin to the UE4 marketplace two days ago: https://hemisphere-realtime.xyz/
I was wondering what everyone's recent experiences are like with the submission process times?
I'm seeing a lot of mixed results online and am scared this process is going to take weeks to months.
If that is the case, I might opt for something like gumroad in the meanwhile since the plugin is finished and people are waiting for it.
Any thoughts?

delicate dove Apr 3, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

not sure due to corona, but generally its about 1-2 weeks.

#

depends a bit on amount of submissions, and how complex the submitted pack is.

subtle plover Apr 3, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

It's quite lightweight, thanks @delicate dove !

rapid ocean Apr 3, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

@subtle plover how much will it be?

subtle plover Apr 3, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

@rapid ocean
Plugin - 12.99$
Timelapse of 1.5h, cloudy evening - 19.99$
Timelapses will be sold separately and depend on the plugin.
The problem with this too is that the plugin and timelapse are separate, and you first need at least 1 asset approved before submitting more. So I will have to wait 2 times...

#

Like, I'm thinking it could be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months of waiting and it's making me sad not knowing

If I try and sell a blueprint project on the marketplace would I be allowed to use mixamo animations? I would only be using them to show off the project itself, not sell the animations.

@ebon leaf Adobe license doesn't allow that

so that's a no

like, you can use mixamo animations for demo video but you can't actually distribute the animations along with your marketplace asset

#

Hey, question for creators:

#

I have a beautiful pack that I'm putting the polishing touches on right now.

#

It does not work with static lighting at present, nor do I think it's going to. I'm inclined to put in big letters all over the marketing materials: "DYNAMIC LIGHTING ONLY"

#

Is this the kind of thing that would prevent release?

tough cipher Apr 6, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

@tacit venture Is it Meshes? Why can't it have static lighting?

delicate dove Apr 6, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

@tacit venture it wont be accepted if its dynlight only. at least, that was the rule for the longest of time.

#

so enjoy the unwrapping :p

graceful arrow Apr 6, 2020, 11:19 AM

hollow zephyr Apr 7, 2020, 5:35 AM

maybe use the new auto-unwrap tools and specify everything is auto uv'd is that's the case

long dune Apr 7, 2020, 8:18 AM

#

If I want to sell something on the market place, should it include the original .tga and .fbx files? Or should I only include the uasset files?

raven ferry Apr 7, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

I think you can include as a plus but it is not necessary since you can export source files from UE4

long dune Apr 7, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

Ah, so the uasset files are the only one expected then?

wet nacelle Apr 7, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

yep. you buy an UE Asset, not a model, right? and also skuba is correct, you can export it through UE.

long dune Apr 7, 2020, 10:49 AM

Great, thanks for the clarification

tacit venture Apr 7, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

@tough cipher , @ebon leaf : I have no idea why static lighting breaks it, but it does. 😦 Materials that are absolutely fine on a dynamic light turn black with a static light.

#

That being said...I haven't tested it since I did fix all the UV overlap, so I suppose that another test is indicated.

#

Hmmm! The black materials are not black now, but nothing casts a shadow under a static light. Is that considered broken?

tough cipher Apr 8, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

@tacit venture If your meshes turn black after building lights you got problems with your lightmap UVs. First double click the mesh and in the settings see what UV channel is set for lightmap and then up above where it says UV click dropdown and select that channel look at the UVs and make sure it's there and looks good. You can have UE4 make a UV lightmap channel for you in the setting if it looks bad or is not there.

tacit venture Apr 8, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

Yeah, I gathered that, @tough cipher . I did fix the lightmap UV's on everything (a few meshes didn't unpack automatically properly, but Blender was able to pack them right) so the black materials are gone. Thanks for the help!

tough cipher Apr 8, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

Did you fix the shadows

tacit venture Apr 8, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

I don't know why they're disappearing, no.

tough cipher Apr 8, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

@tacit venture The lights have a setting, cast shadows and the mesh has a setting cast shadows, check box. The mesh, if it's not manifold, not two sided will not cast shadows from the back of the faces.

split iron Apr 9, 2020, 4:32 AM

#

Its not terribly likely to sell beyond that point

#

In my mind I am saying current sales + 7.5k isn't equivalent to the work I put in

#

It'll probably never get that much anyway since I built it around functionality and it doesn't look great cosmetically, so unless I fix that it probably wont sell much 🤷‍♂️ I'm wondering if its even worth it at this point because its no longer going to show under new releases and hasn't for a while lol

I think free for the month is also harming sales because buyers now consider 'if I don't buy it, it will probably become free'

I think just the opposite lol the stuff i want is never free

#

I have gotten lucky a couple times not insta buying something then having it go on 50% off...like frank climaxs animation packs...though i did end up just buying everything he made at that point

#

Its funny how a 50% off item allows me to justify buying like 10 packs and saying well atleast i got all 10 for 5% off

#

Talking about sales humble bundle is going a massive bundle of game icon packs

Grab it while its hot folks

Its like 500$ worth of icon packs youll find here on the market

Hey @delicate dove is there an easy way to make your 8 elements match a more "low poly" look? Trying to use them with synty assets

raven ferry Apr 10, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

@plucky helm when the top bar is gone its because you were logged out, but for some reason it shows like you are still logged in. Go to unrealengine.com/ or epicgames.com/ and it will show the 'loggint you out' page. Also, try ctrl+F5 sometimes and deleting unrealengine.com cache.

plucky helm Apr 10, 2020, 7:41 AM

@raven ferry apparently im back in the netscape days...

and i cleared cache 3 times

i went to epicgames.com and signed in, did the stupid two factor captcha safety dance and nothing changed in marketplace

delicate dove Apr 10, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

@queen temple not easily I think.
You could replace some of the meshes with low poly models, but anything beyond that would probably mean refactoring loads of details.

Guys how do i set this vehicle asset pack in my third person character project?

queen temple Apr 10, 2020, 12:10 PM

#

@delicate dove not a prob, i just love em and might actually just leave particle effect with a realistic look rather than cartoony

delicate dove Apr 10, 2020, 12:11 PM

#

since most are mesh-based, its easier for those to get a more stylized mesh. sprites/flipbooks are really dependent on the style though.

but def show me the results if you do tweak/alter em

Question: Are Marketplace sellers allowed to include a "Working/Integrating With Megascans" section in manuals/resources for packs, or does that require Quixel/Epic permission?

#

I kind of feel like Megascans is one of the most serious weapons in Epic's arsenal since the purchase, and want to give my potential users (who may be new to UE as I'm aiming with a lower-footprint, easier-to-use pack at newer devs) as much education as possible.

#

(No actual Megascans assets would be included in the pack, of course.)

raven ferry Apr 10, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

I don't know if Megascans applies the same terms as Epic Assets. If NOT, you can show How but you can't redistribute assets

tacit venture Apr 10, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

The official guidance basically seems to advise that what I want to do is allowed as long as it's only a minor section/accent, but I wanted to doublecheck.

raven ferry Apr 10, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

I've seen stuff from shooter game and even learning packs included

#

Don't know how much they check for it

tacit venture Apr 10, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

Basically, you can't have a pack full of Megascans assets that you just arranged, or whatever. But you can mention it as long as your pack is original content.

#

But, wanted to get some second opinions, including from Mods/Epicers if possible.

delicate dove Apr 10, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

epic's own content can be used sporadically for mp-packs as showcase/usecase pieces, however content from affiliates (like quixel) are not, since the packs can be used outside of epic's ue4 environment, you'd be giving people who'd use that pack's content in another engine would acquire the affiliates content, while that content is only free for use in ue4's environment.

#

so my cave-pack now comes with a quixel-ready master material, but I cannot add quixel's content

Is it neccessarily a bad practice to purchase premade blueprint from the store and include them in your project because your having difficulty producing a similar blueprint? I would assume it's probably a smarter and more productive decision to keep trying to make it yourself.

#

I'm just referring to whether it's a good decision or not. I'm struggling to create a building system to my liking and have been trying for a week non-stop. Whereas there are systems on the marketplace that produce the system that I'd like to implement.

#

Well my dumb self just realized I must've picked up something similar to what I need through a monthly freebie.

#

does the RPG inventory system use an actor component? to allow things to hold inventory/be held in an inventory? just saying if you program your inventory that way it will be way easier to implement without making specific code to characters or objects. because you could run all the code through the component which they would share or recognize.

@tacit venture megascan is not allowed. I tried it in my Multiplayer Game System and my pack was rejected for that reason. I had to remove megascan material to get my pack approved 😊

@robust elbow, does that include the free assets on the store? Im using an industrial prop pack that I got for free just to fill some space, do i need to remake the cardboard boxes?

you cannot use those either

oh cool

Can we use the door and window frames that come with the engine? The starter content?

robust elbow Apr 13, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

you cannot use those either
@delicate dove Agree!

#

The only assets you can use are Epic's free assets nothing else

#

But they are generally heavy and can make your pack's size huge for no real reason, apart from showing off!

torn venture Apr 13, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

okay cool

robust elbow Apr 13, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

a quick note, I don't think you can/want to resell their assets. But if you have a blueprint or C++ code etc pack then it's fine to use Epic's assets (VFX, CG etc) as examples on how to implement your code

torn venture Apr 13, 2020, 10:48 PM

okay cool

We use blueprint curently

Is there anyone that houses their marketplace assets in a separate "ThirdParty" folder or something of the sorts? I'm wondering how I could still update my assets as new versions become available on the marketplace if I have done so (considering Unreal looks for the asset in /Content if you want it to override the files with the incoming update).

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:11 PM

#

I put all the content for my own project into a subfolder

#

Name starting with a dash so it is at the top of the list

#

All other subfolders are third-party (or my own marketplace products)

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

Right yeah, that's an alternative

#

I'd prefer to keep them in a separate "ThirdParty" master folder though

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:15 PM

#

Then you'll just have to move the content again after an update

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

Move the whole asset folder in question back to /Content, update from the launcher & overwrite, then move the whole folder back to /Content/ThirdParty?

#

Like that?

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

To install an update, don't you just install the pack again anyway?

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

You do, but you can only install to /Content

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

I think you'd get away with just doing this (test / backup first)

#

install new version you /Content

#

in your system file manager, move and replace into subfolder

#

I wouldn't want to do that inside unreal because I think it would get confused with refactoring

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

I thought of something like that, but that makes me wonder if the asset itself won't have absolute paths to its own internal files

#

That is to say, if the asset expects a blueprint or whatever that it uses to be in /Content/Asset/BP_Something, then that'd screw it up

#

Not sure if it's relative (Assetfolder/BP_Something) or absolute (/Content/Asset/BP_Something)

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:22 PM

#

Oh, you're probably right

#

I think your way is safest

#

move it back, update, move it away again

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

Gotcha, sad that there still isn't an easy solution for this :\

#

Seems easy enough to implement. If only we could just choose a different install directory through the launcher, and have it fix up any paths that point to /Content to our new folder.

#

Possible bright idea: wouldn't it be possible to install to /Content in a separate empty project as normal through the launcher. Then move it to /Content/ThirdParty in that project, then use the OS's explorer to move and override to your own project?

#

I should test that

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

Not sure if that's actually less work

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

Moving folders within Unreal takes ages, this way you'd never have to move between ThirdParty and /Content

#

I bet that saves quite a bit of hassle

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

Yes, it's fixing up and refactoring the paths

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

Yeah

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

But this way you need to make a new project, load a whole new Unreal Engine instance...

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:36 PM

#

Oh loading an engine instance takes what, 30 seconds? Moving folders can take waaaaaaaaay longer than that

#

I've been moving and fixing up redirectors for more than an hour at this point, with just a few assets

#

Madness

#

It didn't even properly fix up the redirectors when I did a redirector fixup on /Content. Had to manually go into each of the asset folders.

#

Anyway, getting a bit off topic haha

merry field Apr 14, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

I find that you normally have to hit "fix up redirectors" twice

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 12:39 PM

#

I ran it multiple times, I guess it hates me 😂

graceful arrow Apr 14, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

Have a seperate project, with the sub folder(s) is probably the best way forward. Add the update to its content folder as normal then move them to the correct sub folder. This way you only have to do it once (per update) and you can migrate your subfolder to your work project(s) without having to move things around in those.

viral crow Apr 14, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

Hey @graceful arrow :)

Like this you mean?

#

Ah, you write:

and you can migrate your subfolder to your work project(s) without having to move things around in those.
That gives you a warning though, something about it not working correctly if not migrated to /Content root?

no

#

anything set free by epic can be used in your ue4 games. anything made by creators being published as free by epic can be used in any game engine.
you cannot resell the content, or use the content in your marketplace packs.
You can however use a few props from epic themselves (NOT quixel/creator content) in your marketplace content to show how something works.

torn venture Apr 14, 2020, 3:06 PM

so we need to completely use our own assets?

Hey I was hoping to get some feedback on an idea I had about rewarding customers that bought more than one of my asset packs. Since I can't find out who has bought my packs there is no way to discount future packs they buy and Marketplace has no solution for this. I thought if customers were to leave thier email address in a review, I could mail them additional bouns content. Not sure if this is allowed though. I'm not asking them them for a five star review, even a bad review would be rewarded. Otherwise would destroy any credibility of the reviews. It's the only way I can know who has bought my assets. Any thoughts on this?

delicate dove Apr 18, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

if you'd let them leave their email adress in a review, you'd basically give their email adress to spambots scanning the marketplace site.

Did you read my idea?

#

If in my description I write to leave a review with your email and only people who buy can leave a review.

then you'd expose them all to the spambots collecting the emails.

still, i wouldnt ask my buyers to expose their email, or make a sockpuppet email account, nor would I use an email adress that can be exposed, even if its a sockpuppet email acc.
(but thats just me)

#

I dont think there is anything wrong with it rule-wise.

#

just dont feel its a really smart approach either.

but since there is no other way, I cant really blame you for it either.

tough cipher Apr 18, 2020, 12:42 PM

Thought I had a good idea, but thanks for your feedback.

#

What they were to join a Discord page and then in the review gave me that user name? I could private message them and they could if the wished give me their email? Safer?

#

Could be a discord page just dedicated to support of the product.

delicate dove Apr 18, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

I could take a look at that user-name and act if I was one of those people.

#

Sadly the only "official" way is for them to provide you with their receipt ID, which you then have to verify trough the marketplace team.

tough cipher Apr 18, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

Can two people have the same user name?

delicate dove Apr 18, 2020, 12:51 PM

You might want to fire off an email to the mp-team as well, perhaps they know of an approach that might not be clear to us.

#

Thanks, I try.

merry field Apr 18, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

Yeah, anyone who pirated would have the code... not sure if that's actually something you'd have to worry about though.

#

How many people a) pirate Marketplace content and b) would then be brazen enough to email you asking for free stuff?

#

Especially when they don't know that you don't have a way to confirm if they bought it or not

tough cipher Apr 18, 2020, 2:35 PM

Hello, is it possible to sell a scene in marketplace made with GPU Lightmass from Luoshuang ??

wide tusk Apr 20, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Hello, do you know how long the support service has been responding?

delicate dove Apr 20, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

@torn badger its being embedded into unreal engine, since Luoshuang is now part of their team.

torn badger Apr 20, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

@delicate dove Great, I'll wait for it to be implemented, thanks for the reply!

@torn badger yes you can sell it

the GPULightmass i published on the forum is open sourced under MIT license

Oh. So I don't need anything to put in the archive that I will submit to marketplace? @final current

guys any free assets for haunted house?

merry field Apr 21, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

Other than the monthly free rotation and permanently free assets, Epic generally don't allow free assets on the Marketplace. There are, however, community threads of free assets which are easy to find via a search engine.

lilac mango Apr 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

@merry field oh ok is that commercial free or no?

merry field Apr 21, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

That would depend on what licence the people making it free assigned to it

smoky magnet Apr 22, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

If an asset in your library notified to have an update, how will you know the changelogs for the update?

quaint cedar Apr 22, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

You don't, unless the author writes that somewhere. Thank Epic for not adding that feature.

#

@smoky magnet

smoky magnet Apr 22, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

after updating the asset, do I have to reimport it into the project or does it automatically update every project that has it?

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

You need to re-import it into every project

#

Kind of makes sense since you might have modified the assets yourself, and updating will overwrite any changes you've made

quaint cedar Apr 22, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

Yop and since bp assets can't be merged you probably can't update assets you modified. But that's a ue4 limitation, so nothing the seller can do for

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

Though they can design around the idea that you shouldn't have to modify their files

#

By making things you might want to change in separate functions so you can derive a child class (outside their project dir) and override

What do you do when a MP vendor simply wont reply to anyone...even though they are active...got some broken root animations that people have complained about to the vendor like a year ago now...slight errors here and there are fine but having the pelvis bone deform completely when using a RM animation becuase of the vendors error seems like bad quality control on ue mp part....what do we do from here?

The vendor is clearly not listening to the people purchasing...

Why are the prices in euros converted from dollars higher ? A 80 dollars asset is 87.67 euros @shadow inlet

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Taxes

#

US prices are all listed without sales tax

#

Also, sales tax is generally lower in the USA than VAT in Europe

hasty nexus Apr 22, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

few days back the price was 73 euros for the same product. what changed?

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

It's an oddity because in the USA every individual state has a different tax rate, and so they don't include taxes in the price. In the EU, it's illegal to list prices without VAT*

#

Now that one I can't answer. the Euro prices have always been higher, I've never seen them lower.

hasty nexus Apr 22, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

i guess they messed up the conversion tbh

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

*In theory you should not have to pay VAT on Marketplace assets if you are a company and you charge your own VAT, but Epic don't really understand VAT, so they charge it anyway.

real dust Apr 22, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Yeah VAT used to be even more problematic on the marketplace

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

I'm not sure if the way VAT works is consistent across the EU

#

The theory is supposed to be that if you're a company, you pay Ex-VAT prices and then you have to charge VAT on what you sell

hasty nexus Apr 22, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

i understand that, but few days back the conversion was straight up from dollars to euros.

#

it's odd

#

people cry over the prices in dollars, imagine the price in euros

#

and mathematically it doesn't add. because i pay taxes for different prices. and although the marketplace gets 12% only, they pay taxes for the entire product value?

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

It's never going to be quite right because they invent a number for the tax

#

VAT varies between EU countries

hasty nexus Apr 22, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

i submitted a case, maybe it's just some bug.

merry field Apr 22, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

But let' say it's 20% and your item is $10

#

The item will be €12. They pay €12, Epic pays the VAT on the sale, and then the total amount is $10. Epic take their 12%, and so you are left with $8.8

#

Basically - all the prices Epic talk about are ex-VAT, ex-sales-tax

hasty nexus Apr 22, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

maybe the bug was before? when it was 73 euros? 😄

#

we'll see

delicate dove Apr 22, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

yea it was a bug where the conversion did not show the Vat

#

think there is a forum post about it somewhere.

Does anyone know of any Marketplace templates that has an marketplace system similar to Escape From Tarkov's Flea Market?

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 7:48 AM

#

Anyone recommend a good BP based spline mesh placement tool? For the likes of cables/vines etc. Need pretty fine control of the points and maybe things like the ability to override the material on individual segments

#

Doesnt need to have any runtime stuff, mainly for mesh placment to be converted to static at some point

#

Looks quite cool, the spliner complex at the end looks along the lines of what I need

#

I presume you can just convert the BP to static mesh at some point if needed

#

Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

#

I guess the only thing it's missing is material overrides per mesh

#

I'd need to slot in a new mesh with that material applied

#

Lol.. what the hell. I already own it. I'm guessing it was on one of the free for the month releases...

#

@hollow nexus You could make them customisable, things like being able to swap doors, handles, locks individually

#

im think make separetly custom handles

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

@grizzled thunder am I allowed to recommend my own? But I don't have the ability to override the material on individual segments, not sure how you'd handle the configuration for that. If I wanted to do something like that, I'd probably use vertex painting.

#

In any case, I'm kind of interested in what kind of features someone using it might want, might give me inspiration.

rose sphinx Apr 24, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

Hey peeps, anyone faced this problem? My pack got rejected multiple times cuz light on the map isn't build, but it is.

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

@merry field I had a good look at your NV spline. I think it was the lack of material override that had me wondering

#

And then Divivor reminded me that I had the Mesh actor placement

#

I'm not sure how you would handle the BP side of it.. or if it would ruin instancing

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

You can't instance spline meshes, sadly

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

But i imagined an override for material here per mesh entry

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Like how you get on a static mesh

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Otherwise if I want to use the same mesh but just with a material tweak, I end up having to dupe it in the content browser first

#

Say green pipes followed by red ones, but the same mesh

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Yeah, that's basically what you'd have to do, not ideal

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

I just forsaw my content browser getting messy. Although I think the same is true for mesh actor placement tool

#

But I need to test it out anyway

#

To see if its such an issue

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

Well, it's an interesting use case that I hadn't thought of

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

I know you cant instance them, but a lot of the time I would be baking the meshes out

#

converting a chunk of them to static

#

so it's more of a convenience while authoring

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

I think that's the best for complex spline meshes anyway

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

yeah, the spline tool just saves me working blind in something like max or maya

#

I can manipulate in level until I'm happy, then bake it out

#

for any really regular stuff I'd just be using regular straight meshes

#

static

#

But yeah, Div owes you a coffee I guess? 😵

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

What, for helping you out?

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

Oh debug wise I thought it might be useful to put the arrray number floating over the mesh on the spline, jsut for debug

#

No, for pointing out I already had one I ddint know of. Would probabbly have bouught yours otherwise

#

With similar meshes it can be hard to remeber which mesh you're looking at when you have a long arrray

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Hey, this channel isn't supposed to be for us to sell each other products :p

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Lol too true

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

You mean for when you have a sequential list and need to know that e.g. it's item 47 / 64?

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

yeah say I put like 10 meshes in the aray

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

My more expected use case is that you use them randomly, in which case it'd be even harder to tell

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

I think also that might be what might not have worked for me. In this case I wanted be quite specific about which pipe were

#

so i draw out a spline, and then I say - actually I want to change segment 7 to be this broken version. I guess if I do a sequential list I can do that

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Well, with my system I have the option for random or sequential

#

Would be nicer if you could somehow drag the meshes onto the spline segment and have it update, but I don't think I could easily code that

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

Yeah, so say I just sequential and I put 15 meshes in there. 14 of them I want to be Pipe A and one Pipe B. And I want ipie B to be just in thsi specific point along the spline. It's hard for me to know when looking in 3d space at the spline which mesh in the array i need to change. If the number from the array was also floating in 3d space above the splein - i would know to change number 9 to pipe b

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

That should be quite easy to implement

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

Anways, just some train of thought stuff. Not sure if it's useful for you 🙂

#

If the other tool doesnt work out I'll give yours a go.

#

I also looked at this one

#

https://unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/smart-spline-generator

Smart Spline Generator by S. Krezel in Blueprints - UE4 Marketplace

#

But thought I was getting a bit ahead of myself

#

Noted it down for fun later at some point when I need to cover an entire world in ivy and rope bridges....

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

Oh, I think I saw that one, it looks cool

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

Also again, the use case for me is more specific crafted look - say for a cinematic where things need to be exact. Less auto generated/procedural results - which some people mentioned about the tool above. That you could swizzle some settings and lose a look you liked previously

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

I find it interesting to hear what people come up with to use the things for.
I originally built mine because I wanted to make a rail track (I think), so that was kind of the feature set I built.

#

Later had some questions from someone using it to place a series of floating platforms along a curve in 3D space, using the "gap between segments" feature

#

A use case so completely different from what I'd originally envisioned

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

For me it would be more pipes, tunnels. Bending existing meshes into shapes. Or yes, platforms etc

#

I saw some where it generates mesh - a bit like a lathe or sweep tool. I'd be less interested in that

#

Hard to deal with the resulting meshes in terms of source control etc

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

Well, I'd imagine it makes static mesh assets out of them, those should get controlled fine

grizzled thunder Apr 24, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Well, dont want to spam everyone. Thanks for listening

merry field Apr 24, 2020, 8:38 PM

@north stirrup Yes, in fact I've got a ready Google doc file, but I wanted to sort of include it in the Content folder or something like that. Isn't it possible ?

north stirrup Apr 28, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

Probably if converted to PDF :)

#

Or just put the doc link somewhere

torn badger Apr 28, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

Thanks for the advise, I will try this 🙂

merry field Apr 28, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

I put a text readme in my stuff, was not a problem

#

But I'd also just put the docs up on Google

#

Being able to see the docs will let potential customers see how it would work and maybe decide to buy

#

If you increase your prices so that you're unreasonably expensive for hobbyists that don't understand what time's worth you won't have to deal with those people

hasty nexus Apr 28, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

@fickle basin i guess the problem is that people who don't have any program skills think that if they buy something, that product should do all the work for them. They don't see it like a product that helps them move forward or make it easier. And when they have to do some actual game dev, they get angry and rate bad or so on.

#

not really, there are beginners that are willing to do work and learn.

#

they research and so on

#

🙂

#

the problem is people think making a game is very easy and that's for everyone. which is not.

#

and when they have to do some work, they get frustrated because they think, me, you, phy and others, are selling one-button game makers.

#

i never think beginner or advanced. If you're beginner and you don't understand the concepts, like with my MultiTask plugin, then do some research and find out how threading works. Not gonna hold hands. You as a customer you're supposed to be a game developer.

merry field Apr 28, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

Would probably also sell a lot fewer units

hasty nexus Apr 28, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

The way i see it the problem is not when beginners or advanced users buy your products. The problem is when lazy people buy the products and expect everything to be one click of a button away, even though game development is complex.

merry field Apr 28, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

How would you even judge it?

#

But I was still asking what a professional is in this context

#

At the end of the day you want "someone who has a clue"

#

Te aforementioned not-lazy people

#

They could be professionals or hobbyists or anything

#

I guess you're less likely to get really lazy ones who are pros, but... eh, every other industry has 'em

hasty nexus Apr 28, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

Take any asset on MP. There's no way that any of the assets/plugins that go into runtime, can fit your project without you doing any work on it. Modify something in it. Well, maybe not no way, but extremely rare.

#

i mean assets that have some code logic

#

not 3d assets and such

merry field Apr 28, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

Right, I was going to say

#

An, uh, apple for example, is pretty much an apple anywhere

hasty nexus Apr 28, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

yeah

merry field Apr 28, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

But mots code assets are going to need at least some integrating

hasty nexus Apr 28, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

and when you have one lazy guy who bought an asset and then another and he wants both to work together. Well, you get my point. That guy is a problem.

#

Yeah, that's nice, you're a kind guy :))

#

😄

torn badger Apr 28, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

@fickle basin Yes, you're absolutely right, in my case, it's an archviz project. It wouldn't need documentation, but I wanted to do one, to explain my customers some of the points of the scene. In my opinion, you just need to see the pictures of the scene to know if you want to buy or not. But I totally agree with you for blueprints/code products.

outer badge Apr 28, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

Products need documentation. Or at the very least a good discord server where the creator is there engaging people

#

some of the best stuff I got has clear docs with a server to boot

I am not able to find the Materials Master Learning - Project Files for the online Course Title: "Materials Master Learning" I was able to get to it using a redemption code.

#

But I want to know why the project is not showing up in my searches (in browser and UE application) for marketplace search

#

Are they hiding some projects (maybe deprecation) or is it something wrong in my settings (I searched for any UE engine version

It would be nice if someone made Quake 1/2/3 BSP importer for UE4 🙂

delicate dove Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

cant the hammuer tool not do this?

drowsy jasper Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

no, it imports .map files and does crappy job about it too

delicate dove Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

ahh

drowsy jasper Apr 30, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

and BSP is already culled and cleaned

#

(by .map compiler)

#

so you don't get any backfaces or any weird geometry you don't really need in your level

#

alternatively UE4 could have Trenchbroom-like level editing tools 😉 But that's not going to happen

merry field Apr 30, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

The BSP tools in UE4 are ... both good in some areas, and terrible in others

#

They suffer from the theory that you're not actually supposed to use them

drowsy jasper Apr 30, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

I don't see how UE4's BSP tools are good 🙂 Maybe for someone who never used Radiant or Trenchbroom or Hammer they can appear to be good. But if you mapped back in the days, you know it's a lie 😛

minor escarp Apr 30, 2020, 3:09 PM

Regarding releasing a c++ code plugin:
Do you know if code plugins on the marketplace can only ever be released as engine plugins? We submitted ours, which was a project based plugin, and the marketplace team tested it as an engine plugin which lead to compile errors that didn't exist before.
Additionally, there is this snippet under Example Projects , which is a weird choice imo, regarding code plugins:

2.6.4 Example Projects
2.6.4.a All plugins purchased and imported from the Epic Games Launcher will be installed as an engine plugin (to "\Epic Games\4.x\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace"), not a project plugin, so publishers are strongly encouraged to create an Example Project to be used in conjunction with the plugin to display its functionality to new customers.

merry field Apr 30, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

Radiant? That's far too new "old days" for me. But that's all rather off-topic.

So I cannot put mixamo anims in my marketplace pack but can I provide a link to them or add a free to download pack with them on the marketplace? My project is more of a template and it'd be nice to show what it can do. They are all retargeted to UEs mannequin

elfin plinth May 2, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

@rigid lotus no, you cannot put free to download pack with mixamo assets to the marketplace

#

nor can you put mixamo assets in any form of asset in marketplace as they don't let you relicense the assets

#

nor can you put free to download pack to unreal marketplace as Epic only accepts paid assets

Is it a common problem to be not able to open marketplace on a browser (firefox)? This broblem has been frustrating me for couple of months. Any other page works in Unreal website, but not the https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace. It doesn't matter if I use link from main page or write the URL, the result is same: nothing happens, previous webpage remains. I can open it in private window or in launcher though. It doesn't matter if I'm logged in or not. And the website kicks me out everytime I use it anyway (which I don't like). I have also disabled FF addons, and it didn't helped.

#

Also, I can go to any other Marketplace subpage (guidelines, FAQ, ...), but not to the main page Browse.

Does anyone have an idea or should I send them an email? Please tag me if you reply so I get a notification

viscid wasp May 5, 2020, 1:47 PM

@fickle basin Of course, but in my experience, they take at least a few days to reply, so I tried here first. I don't mean specifically GameDNA but most of the creators

#

@fickle basin You're right, but I don't want to spam the same message in other channels now. Also, somehow I missed that GameDNA has a Discord so I will ask there. It's one of those things that you solve by yourself by asking others.
Thanks 🙂

Hello , I would like to get a refund on the Drivable cars pack as it is now useless to me and I think that should be an option. After spending thousands on assets as of today i wont buy anymore. My reason ? Its insane to me to see the assets you paid big for being handed out for free while you get nothing in return. Its like being punished for supporting the assets creations. Now I will have to remove a big part of my game simply because now EVERYONE will have it. I am glad that unreal does the free assets , but they need to start giving some kind of option to the people who already purchased assets that become FREE.

delicate dove May 5, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

this is not an official epic games discord, so no use requesting a refund here.
You can email the mp-team (see pinned message) but their reply will probably be a kinder version of lolnope. :/

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

thats cool , I am contacting them now. If is a NOPE , Ill make sure the see this is a bad thing.

delicate dove May 5, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

sounds rather threatening hehe

hasty nexus May 5, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

@unreal eagle, don't worry about it, a car is car. change the textures and it's like a new car. You bought the asset because you needed it, don't feel sorry.

#

it happened to everyone.

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

@hasty nexus I have already removed them from my project now and am persuing a refund. They are useless now , and I was stupid enough to pay for the rights to use them. I will never make that miostake again. This is like the 6th time this has happned and i cant take it anymore. Ill make my own cars and other items before i waste another dollar on assets that will eventiually be handed out for free to thew masses.

hasty nexus May 5, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

But you wont get any refund. 😦 Don't take it so drastically. Enjoy your project and the rest of free assets you didn't have before. 🙂

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

I have a plan to get it , the law applies to everyone

#

I live in the eu and plan to use it to my advantage

hasty nexus May 5, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

I understand. Just for the sake of it, when did you purchase it?

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Not exaclty sure when , but no longer than 5 months ago.

hasty nexus May 5, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Well, you had the asset for such a long time. There`s no EU law that can back your request. Plus the fact that the asset is fine, it delivers what you paid for. Just because it's free for a month doesn't mean you are mistreated as a customer or even that everyone in the world would use the asset.

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

@hasty nexus you work for unreal ?

hasty nexus May 5, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Trust me, we all been there at least once. But on the other side, getting other free assets compensates for the fact that we paid for something that is given away for free at some point.

#

No, I wish. I just see it the way it is.

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

it does not , thats my point. We should automatcally get are money back or an item of the dame price IF we already purchased it and then they decide to give it away. This would make people buy more without concern. However wioth the current model it just makes more sense to wait for free items only and make everything else your self.

#

Im suprised thye donmt already have such a thing. I voucher are partial refund would even be a step in the right direction. With this version though they have lost me on any future purchases unless that changes. Consider the fact i actually spend big on assets , even sometimes buying some just in case i want to use then and never really even need to. Now I am pushed to not buy anything.

#

Last month it wasn't one cheap but I'm happy that everyone gets free stuff too

#

got get money back u would basically have to prove its worthless now, wich u cant do/afford 😛

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Im not doubting that it does . My point is its a real shame especially for creators on the marketplace. The voucher method i mentioned would fix this conflict for all. If they are giving away 54.99 and you already have it , why cant they load you up with something else for free at the same price ? or give you the money towards another asset on the marketplace ? or a 50% voucher towards another item. But with nothing , why even pay and take a RISK

raven ferry May 5, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

You win some, lose some, all the same to me

worn oyster May 5, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

yea they buy an asset for 7000$ to give to every1, to give every1 a 60$ voucer.. not so cheap

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

@worn oyster thye dont buy the asset , the creator still owns it. THe thing is if the 60 is going towards another marketplace asset they lose nothing .

worn oyster May 5, 2020, 5:07 PM

#

they buy the right to give it away for a month

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 5:07 PM

the small creator or creator themself , do gain 60 however which is good to keep them going

raven ferry May 5, 2020, 5:07 PM

@worn oyster LOL you must misunderstand what i am saying if thats how you see it. Putting out your own crap pack , no one would want or buy it unless it was worth it. My version would let people make that choice for themselves.

worn oyster May 5, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

do the math man

#

7000$ or 60$ times a few million

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

you would have to buy every asset LOL This would mean you arent making money , your spending it

#

your doing the wrong math

worn oyster May 5, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

my math is spot on 🙂

raven ferry May 5, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

its 60$ for each person that own it

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

to get the voucher you would have to own the free packs. No one knows exactly what they will be until they are releasaed. This kills your plan off top

worn oyster May 5, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

yea but mayB it sold 1000s of times

#

EU law can nullify terms of use but doubt thats the case here

#

u can try but prolly not worth the efford sadly

unreal eagle May 5, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

to further my point , if they did it the smart way , i wouldnt even know the car pack i purchased was free. It would appear as something else for me since i already own it. I only got 4 free assets this month when i should have 5

raven ferry May 5, 2020, 5:17 PM

it happened to me this month ant in april
