[delicate dove]

--sadly-- its on the buyer to check if a pack is still available on the marketplace. as far as I can tell Epic has never contacted buyers after they noticed a pack contained pirated/illegal content.

[past maple]

Ok, no in this situation I am asking is like if someone purchased it, but I report it, do they lose the content that they purchased?

[delicate dove]

no.

if they downloaded it, they'll have it. Im not sure if they can still re-download it though

[past maple]

Gotcha, ok.

Thank you

[vapid ridge]

"Snappy Roads" this product looks amazing on paper but when it comes to the actual setting up your own custom meshes and everything else, It's a huge mess. The meshes that come with this product are very low poly. When importing your own custom assets, nothing aligns up correctly, and the blueprint ends up breaking. You are better of building your own blueprint that aligns the curbs, and streets. I use this asset as a base for almost all my streets and created my own modular blueprint. https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/modular-street-system

here is 2 pictures I took if you buy this pack. You can create anything your mind wants to, There pictures are to show off this asset, not showing off my project., no reason to add to the WIP discord thread.

[steep venture]

Best/most realistic auto material for unreal engine 5 on the marketplace atm?

[graceful arrow]

No assets are allowed to say they are UE5 ready, as it the engine still hasn't been finished yet. Your mileage may vary 🙂

[ebon leaf]

o/ is there a way to add marketplace assets to a plugin?
so I'd download marketplace assets and add it to my own custom plugin i'm developing (not for sale) instead to project. I just don't want the assets being added to project directory and copying them to plugin yields tons of errors.

[half mist]

thanks

[half mist]

u need to move them to the plugin's content directory (in ue4 not in windows) and then right click everything and click fix redirectors or something like that

[ebon leaf]

thanks but no. I am aware of many was to move/migrate content but most of them fail in some way. E.g. AnimationsStarterPack is tied to UE4 skeleton, You'd try to move it in any way and most of things break so manual setup is needed.

[half mist]

shouldn't be needed.. I don't get the exact issue..

[ebon leaf]

well try then for yourself 🙂

[graceful arrow]

Have you tried advanced cop to move them into the Content Plugin? Also this convo is perhaps better suited to #ue4-general

[spare marsh]

Hi, I am using purchased assets from cgaxis.com, which they provide in the UE format for their models. I am trying to add the asset to my level, which includes a "uasset" file along with geo and textures. Its unclear how I import the asset so all materials are connected correctly. Currently I add the root asset folder into my project but no materials are connected. Is there a proper procedure for importing things so materials are connected??? Here is the asset directory supplied.

[oak fiber]

you basically take that entire folder (the uasset and folders) and put it inside your project content folder. It will find everything relative to that

[spare marsh]

hmm, I put it in a sub folder....is that an issue? When I put it in "content>building>A" for example, no materials are connected. So how should I do it, use explorer, copy the folder, and paste into the "content" root folder in the project? Thanks!

[oak fiber]

the entire contents, not just the uasset.

[spare marsh]

Yes, I did that, tomorrow I will try to import to the content folder instead…which should make a difference?? Hopefully😅

[spare marsh]

Fyi, it made no difference, I imported the entire asset contents into the projects content folder, no materials attached....what the point of the uasset file then? Is it not meant to be ready to import?

[oak fiber]

Then you should complain to the person who sold it to you.

[spare marsh]

yeah, good to know its an asset issue now, I am reaching out to them....false advertising if they call it a ready to load asset. Thanks for the info!

[spare marsh]

Are there any ready to use packs of animated people for archvis in the marketplace...I didn't see any, any other preferred source that is ready for unreal, and not 2k for 10 assets. Would be nice to get skeletal the twinmotion character lib in UE😅

[vale prawn]

Isn't the Twinmotion library straight from anima? Because anima has an Unreal plugin mostly targeted for archviz.

[hard pelican]

There was a 'horizontal' behavior tree editor plugin in the marketplace once, anyone knows where it went?

As the behavior tree get more complex, I'm starting to hate vertical order

[thorny compass]

Congrats, but #released

[quaint oak]

ops

[silent mesa]

February sale 😃

[silent mesa]

Not sure if this is the right place, but i saw this asset and it piqued my interest, IMO they presented well their asset here in this video. Presentation can really change everything.
https://youtu.be/gpKOl3vwC9k

[thorny compass]

Long live epic, it is the right place - yes.

[high pewter]

I recently submitted a voice pack and it got denied, but they didn’t give a reason why. It just said “product is not ready for review. Make sure it works” which I did before submitting. So what now?

[delicate dove]

all I can ask is, did you follow the guidelines for submission?

[high pewter]

Yes. And it’s especially confusing because my other two packs were approved. This one is just a bundle version.

I just wish they would be specific with what is wrong

[delicate dove]

hmm, without seeing anything all I can think of is, with a bundled version all the content needs to start in a shared folder after /content/

content/pack1
content/pack2
isnt allowed in that case

but yea, its everyones guess without knowing how or what or looking at the project

[high pewter]

Hmmm. Ok. That might be it. Thank you

[spare marsh]

yeah, the anima pro plugin workflow is very poorly documented, which makes me reluctant off the bat. There are only a few promo videos, and its always showing layout work in anima, add characters in anima, then import to unreal, as apposed to having a library of characters to just drag and drop in an unreal level. Actorcore and its plugin is the best option I have found so far...its still a one by one process, but its slightly automated and lets me drag and drop to layout, vs having to do it in another app. BUT, again, time = $$, so setup time

[void bay]

Its the February sale! Have fun everyone 🙂

[half mist]

I wish Epic made it easier to browse the marketplace sales

I mean the current way is fine, I mostly just wish you could hover an item and see more images and text (kind of like on Steam when hovering games)

[delicate dove]

Alternative marketplace website, its legit, just another front-end with some QOL things.
https://orbital-market.com/

its a custom front-end for the marketplace.

[half mist]

I checked this out once but like

does it have the sales page?

oh I see it does

mm let me see how it looks

[half mist]

doesn't seem any better really

mostly the same just a different theme

oh I see when you click it doesn't open a new window

mmm

lol

[thorny compass]

I have not much clue either, but it kinda cool.

[half mist]

ye.

[thorny compass]

And dude put an effort.

[delicate dove]

he's on this discord (at least he was), he takes suggestions seriously.

[sturdy hawk]

Yep @half mist @ebon leaf @thorny compass Orbital Market is faster and have more filters than the official marketplace, but if you have any suggestion to improve it, I'll be happy to hear it 😄

[thorny compass]

huh, where is the owl

[sturdy hawk]

Ahah, I changed it 😂

[half mist]

just some thoughts, I will try using it again if u add but can't promise I'll constantly use it XD

1. add an option that when u click the item it opens the marketplace link in a new window instead of opening the preview.
2. add a preview when hovering an item like steam does with games #fab message

[thorny compass]

hehe

And for me, I still don't see it easy for work on hi dpi monitors.

I think, we got a call about that once.

[sturdy hawk]

No worry, I don't do it "for you", I do it for everyone !

[thorny compass]

Good work so far btw, clearly many changes since then.

[graceful arrow]

Try using your middle mouse button to open any links to a new tab.

[half mist]

that opens the oribtal link not the marketplace link

[graceful arrow]

Good point 😄

[ember hill]

You might don't do it for me, but would be nice to have regional pricing applied, not just US Dollars.

It's fine though if you don't want to implement it, assuming most of the traffic were coming from the US, and you felt like not worth fetching regional prices data because of it.

[half mist]

I don't feel like regional pricing woudl be significant, I'm not from the US but if I'd be going on this site it'd be to browse stuff not buy, and the rough USD price is fine, and only after I finally choose what to buy I'd go on the real marketplace page and see the exact price there

🤷‍♂️

[sturdy hawk]

@half mist Your suggestions seems fairly easy to implement, and it was already on my backlog, I'll work on them for the next release
@ember hill I could just get the conversion rate for some particular currencies (Euro, Yen, Yuan...). But it's true that USD give a reasonable estimate already, so that won't be a priority I think. Our of curiosity, what currency are you looking for?

[scarlet mountain]

I'll throw in a vote for AUD

But yeah, USD is usable for estimates

[ember hill]

I'm voting for IDR.

[half mist]

is there really a vote

lol

[wide beacon]

I just want a Wishlist with more than 50 items 😦

[dusty crypt]

We don't have that kind of technology. But hey, we can push billions of polygons, so that's kind of nice.

[trim lagoon]

More than fifty items might break the matrix.

[wooden falcon]

it took what, 8 years to get a wishlist? keep wishing... 🙂

[trim lagoon]

I would add 'expanding the wishlist' to my wishlist, but I didn't have enough space for it.

[timid torrent]

Does anyone have a preferred solution for pedestrians and one for cars?
I'd love to hear the cheap/mid/pro solutions that you rate. Thanks.

[scarlet mountain]

no, really, it's a genius move. "Clear some space on your wishlist, just buy some of the items in it, and you'll have more room!"

[half chasm]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/texture-organizer
Is this worth it?

[tame compass]

What do you expect for 8 dolar mesh asset ? Someone asked me to make 60 asset for 8 dollar.

I need to know pricing standart

[ember hill]

Really depends on the quality of the assets themselves.

[delicate dove]

for non-batching stuff, its not bad. I generally have it present in my maps when im optimizing content.

[formal palm]

hello, apologies I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but if anyone have a bit of time and can give me a feedback on this package:

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/f1f03766e7ca4b4695504d4c50f04855

I want to know what are the problems with this package and if my pricing is unreasonable, or any type of feedback, I would appreciate it!

[solar jewel]

Any Free Voice Chat Plugin?

[agile shadow]

It looks like it belongs to a game made in 2007. That’s all I can say about it.

[formal palm]

so the quality is bad correct?

[rose lagoon]

I don't think the quality is bad, especially for it's price. You clearly say low poly in the title. The phone doesn't seem chronologically correct though.

[formal palm]

I see, thank you very much! I will make a different phone and replace it, I appreciate the insight thank you very much! but actually when I look at some of the objects I feel like I messed up they don't feel right to the eye, but I just can't figure out what's wrong with them...

[oak fiber]

lighting.

[formal palm]

light setup? I will try to play around with them, thank you very much!

[rich cypress]

If you're trying to get something old from the Marketplace, and it says it only supports 4.24 for example, do you really have ot install 4.24 to download the content, and then you can copy it over to your 4.27 project?

[rich cypress]

oh ok i found it, i had to click "show all projects" and then choose the version that it had that I wanted to install. So it's installing the 4.24 version into my 4.27 project. Thanks!

[balmy helm]

Doesnt seem I will be buying anything this time which is good for my wallet, anything worth on discount? I already have Ultra dynamic sky

[indigo blaze]

Creating landscapes with Megascans for the Marketplace?
So I’m curious - when creating content like landscape for the UE Marketplace - Can one use Megascans textures? Or is that a no-no?
And if not - then what does one usually use? Create scratch textures from Substance Designer? Quixel Mix textures into obscurity??

[ember hill]

You should ask the Marketplace Support for clarity on using Quixel Megascans for material, as non-Epic assets can be leeched to other engine/tools by default.

But typically you'd want to make the materials from scratch, or simply sell the heightmaps.

[indigo blaze]

Thx @ember hill for the clarification

[tawny torrent]

The submission review seems slower than usual is there holidays now

Or is it Valentines?

[lofty wave]

It's due to rona. It's same with other asset stores.

[delicate dove]

went superfast for me and mike

[tawny torrent]

Oh , well they just did but damn i thought of releasing a very simple alien character but one of the reasons of (changes needed) is artistic

But no problem , i like it… so the store have higher quality

[ebon leaf]

check DMs

[sly oar]

Hi all, looking for a good alternative to Oceanology to create ocean and lakes, if anyone recommends anything on the MP... Oceanology is amazing from what I see and read but it is also quite pricey for my small project. Alternatively is built-in UE4 Water features enough to work with?

[vapid ridge]

The built in water system would be your best option. Have you been collecting the freebees for the month? UIWS was free like 7 months ago, this is a great water system for small area's. You dig your terrain out and place the water

[spark harbor]

hello, fellows!
would you please give me an advice of how to setup a demo package for the product without being robbed?)

[sly oar]

I have I think yes! I'll check it out

Thx

[vapid ridge]

Compile a demo game with the assets and the TP or fp bp. Add key so people cant steal assets, or just simply make a youtube video. If it's a plugin do not include the plugin when creating a sample project.

[grim drift]

can someone tell me the best fight animations pack in marketplace?

[stuck glade]

Does anyone have recommendations for a good source of grounded/realistic locomotion animations. For use in a historical project, so perhaps a little more rigid/formal than your average adventure game animations.

We've got Movement Animset Pro, and Mobility Pro, but both are starting to feel a little out of place, so it'd be nice to find another source that might bridge a few gaps. Thanks!

[forest harbor]

As I remember the answer was Nono. But things can be changed now. Try asking again from the support.

You can use textures from Substance Source without any issues.

[silent mesa]

Check waterline pro (you can add water decals too) and aquatic surface.

[indigo blaze]

Thx @forest harbor

[graceful arrow]

It's a big no-no, check out the seller guide which can be found on Epics site.

[indigo blaze]

ah okay - thank you @graceful arrow

and what about speedtree? can one sell their speedtree designs on the marketplace?

[graceful arrow]

nope.

similar ToS

[grim drift]

is there any good animations fight that i can pick up in marketplace?

[thorny compass]

Define good.

[honest cypress]

https://orbital-market.com/ follow your dreams ✨

(this just makes it easier to search than using Epic's site)

[grim drift]

[forest harbor]

Can we have a bot for this 🙂

I mean, automatically reply with orbital-market link.

[tawny torrent]

Can i delete a product i made that was sold before ? ( have been purchased many times )

[delicate dove]

no, you can stop distributing it, so people who purchased it can redownload it, but unless you used illegal goods, deleting isnt an option.

[thorny compass]

Deleting your old work is baaaaad move

Imagine paying for a software and then its gone.

[tawny torrent]

Does this mean using (Hide product option)

[delicate dove]

yup

[tawny torrent]

Yeah i think i wont do that thanks

But if you can do better quality works than your old works , wouldn’t you want to improve your page by deleting the old work

[delicate dove]

you could decide to just update your older work, the people who purchased it would very much appreciate that.

[vapid ridge]

So I found a youtube creator that has like 50k subs, and when a pack was free for the month he would create a level and give the files with the project for free in his description. This is not allowed? right? Because when i look up the asset pack it cost money. ( some are from like early 2019 - 2020 ).. This seems off to me

[delicate dove]

no, that is not allowed.
actually, its illegal af.

[vapid ridge]

Where would i report this too?

[delicate dove]

might wanna send that to amanda.

[e-mail] could also work.

[vapid ridge]

Will do

I hate when creators do such hard work for there stuff to get leaked.

[delicate dove]

+1

[forest harbor]

Also, if you are abandoning the project, try to add a note to the description to get the refund for the user. You can also post via your marketing channels.
I had such a product & I stopped developing it. Then I offer users a full refund if needed.
Also, try to talk to the MP team before you do that. Then they can easily approve the refund without talking to you.

[tawny torrent]

If you’re going to do a new product now , what engine version will you make it with 4.25?

[thorny compass]

At least 3 back if it is not a pita.

[tawny torrent]

Whats a pita

[thorny compass]

Pain in the gluteus.

[tawny torrent]

Ohh got you

Thanks

[spark arch]

"Also, try to talk to the MP team before you do that. Then they can easily approve the refund without talking to you" idk i gave a kid 60ish percent off my product to hopefully inspire him to dive into game dev and use it as motivation only for him to refund it like 3 days later with no contact from him or epic about it lol

[tawny torrent]

Hi i just made an alien character in 4.27 , someone asked me about Unreal engine 5 portability and i am not sure , i didnt test it there

Can someone with ue5 experience tell me if there are any conflicts between the versions 4.27 and 5 for character import

And i am not sure if we are allowed to say that our asset works with UE5 yet

[prisma flare]

Not quite sure where i have to go about this, but not that long ago my epic games got hacked and i lost my old account with all of my ue4 purchases on it. I can still download the latest version i had at the time but i can no longer recieve updates. i didnt realize this until i went to check out the new update for a certain pack and it was trying to make me re buy it. I have the receipt from when i purchased it. does anyone know of a way to fix this?

[scarlet mountain]

That sounds strange. Best thing to do is contact marketplace support.

[delicate dove]

the person can just port it to ue5 itself and test

[tame compass]

is this worth 13 dollars ? a carrier with interior hangar and bridge ?

or should i lower the price ?

[tawny torrent]

Holly shiz you may raise the price

Just take care of the screen shots i would say

[tawny torrent]

I want him to but I’m not sure how to answer him without seeming rude

[delicate dove]

"hey currently we can not officially support UE5, you could however download the latest unreal engine 4 version available and convert it yourself by migrating it to a ue5 project"

[vapid ridge]

Make sure to make things modular, Devs like to move things around. Good model tho!

[ember hill]

If you make it more modular (the whole thing is not a monolithic static mesh), and have proper collisions, then I'd go for $19.99

[ember hill]

$19.99 can get you some local foods for almost a fortnight

[wild mulch]

Hey, what is best spline based road addon you know? I need to use my custom mesh roads, crossing, bridges etc.
I've been using this one so far but I bumped into some issues...
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/snappy-roads-blueprint-tool

I'm hoping to have some easy editing possibilities

[oak whale]

I can highly recommend this traffic system. 🙂

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/traffic-ai-system

[wild mulch]

Thanks its cool. But I rather need spline editing system than sophisticated car AI.

[oak whale]

This is spline based with support for behavior trees 🙂

[vapid ridge]

Your not going to find really anything that supports all of those things that have more than 1k poly on each mesh.

Most spline based assets on this marketplace focus on very low poly assets and break with custom meshes.

Example here

#fab message

I would recommend branching out to other places that have higher quality assets like turboquad, sketchfab, renderhub that have a more of a variety of a selection and creating your own spline. It's not hard to understand the logic in a blueprint like this.

If you want a really high quality asset and you have 100 dollars laying around lol https://kitbash3d.com/products/props-highways

[wild mulch]

I'm aiming more towards sci-fi type. I did rather low poly meshses with trim sheets and decent materials.

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v1kPkv

I did use some spline editor in house addon made by tech artist in my previous company. Now I need something similar with additional crossroads connection system.

[vapid ridge]

let me look around for you and see what I can gather, im doing nothing right now antyways

[wild mulch]

I'm not looking for a model! I'm 3d artist and I do that by myself 😛 I'm looking for a tool which would help me creating a whole level with splines using modular 3d models made by me.

[vapid ridge]

Ohh

my bad 🙂

[wild mulch]

hehe no problem 😄

[vapid ridge]

hold on you want a spline system?

[wild mulch]

Looking for a tool similar to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Koi6tFwJ7M&feature=youtu.be

yeah! 😄 sorry I couldn't find proper words hehe

spline system so I can add my meshes and edit the track using splines etc

[vapid ridge]

snappyroads, that tool above is a great spline system, BUT it will require a huge amount of modifying to make to work with your custom model.

Is there any way to set up a a key system to only allow someone to use a plugin with a specified key that the creator can distribute to the consumer?

[tame compass]

thanks for advice. but yes. that was semi modular asset.

[graceful arrow]

Not with the marketplace

[queen cloud]

I'm working on a code plugin that is inspired by some other plugins on the marketplace. It takes some of the best ideas from both and aims to be an improvement on those ideas, adding additional functionality or cleaner ways of doing things, more comprehensive documentation etc

The problem is that because it shares a lot of the same ideas with regards to how it works, at the moment some of my API is similar to an existing plugin's code.

How worried should I be that I'll just be perceived as copying proples ideas?

[delicate dove]

should only be a problem if you copy the code, or look at said code and just rewrite it.

[forest harbor]

I think it’s totally fine to copy some idea from someplace and improve on it. I think almost everyone does this. As Luos mentioned don’t copy the code.

And people really like better docs that are lacking for most of the MP assets.

I think you can even have leverage if you implement the same idea with better docs and usability.

[queen cloud]

Thanks, some great points there from both of you 😀

I am not sure if I am allowed to ask this here but does anyone here know what the best combat AI thats on the marketplace? Im making a game and its going very well but I cant seem to create an AI that works well enough to be in line with everything else in the game, I want to buy one thats really good and has high quality AI so I can learn from it and see how they did what they did, thanks in advanced (price doesnt really matter)

[vapid ridge]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ascent-combat-framework-c-action-rpg-creator

best of the best IF you are using a mmorpg theme. if not then no

Also, there was a freebee for last month if you got it that does AI

[ebon leaf]

I should have it then, and I'll check this out too, thank you!

[raven anchor]

Am I able to include megascans textures in my marketplace landscape pack?

[night scaffold]

whenever i click install on bridge in epic launcher marketplace the launcher crashes any suggestions ?

[graceful arrow]

nope, no megascan stuff at all, as mentioned in the sellers articles which you really should read if you plan on selling anything.

[raven anchor]

Alright, I sorta figured that would be the case, I guess I'll have to do some texture hunting

[forest harbor]

Adobe Substance Source 🙂

[young nimbus]

are there any navmesh walking boid libraries on the marketplace? 🤔

[glass crystal]

Anyone know a good source for modern / high tech materials? I've been disappointed by what's in Quixel. I'm talking things like carbon fiber, circuit boards, black "consumer electronics" plastic, etc. Less "old wooden door" more "generic battery"

[olive vigil]

substance painter?

[glass crystal]

I thought that was something where you could make your own materials, these all seem pretty generic things that I wouldn't mind paying for if I could find

[olive vigil]

hm no idea then

[glass crystal]

Maybe I'm naive assuming that a carbon fiber material must be pretty common but yeah

[jovial thunder]

1099

[ebon aspen]

may be the wrong chat for this but does anyone have any BNB ( the crypto currency )?

[hollow zephyr]

@glass crystal https://substance3d.adobe.com/assets/allassets?q=carbon fiber&u=carbon fiber susbtance for sure

[glass crystal]

Oh snap this is exactly what I'm looking for! Time to investigate how to use Substance3d materials...

[green plume]

Does anyone know any good stylized rock packs?

[coarse sun]

What's the best combat system in the marketplace in your opinion?? I tested a lot of demos and most of them are souls oriented. I'm looking for something faster. I have the Stylish combat action and it's amazing but very hard to change weapons or animations. I'm looking for something faster, just to make something fast (for personal use) with weapons...

[ebon leaf]

can someone recommend a good sci-fi ui pack?

[pliant shard]

Could i sell CC4 under 3dmodel with animated?

Guys I need some help.

[finite dome]

Probably dumb question are you allowed to modify market place assets in like blender?

[thorny compass]

y

[finite dome]

I want to take like a car and make it super run down for a scene I'm making

[ember hill]

Yes.
Just don't resell it as asset pack again. You can sell games or make renders with it, of course.

[pliant shard]

is this for me?

if it's for me

i found something

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/can-i-add-content-under-cc-by-4-0-license-to-my-commercial-project/448910

[finite dome]

Oh no sorry it was a personal question

[finite dome]

Thank you!

[pliant shard]

No problem

good luck mate

[forest harbor]

Yeah. You can easily export them via Substance Designer.

[forest harbor]

If you want to sell on the MP, it’s based on the marketplace license and agreements. You can’t do anything with that. But you can sell it outside MP as you wish.

I guess you can work with Epic for custom licenses. But not sure they will comply on your case.

[pliant shard]

I think i can sell

CC4 means commerical usable

[graceful arrow]

Part of the CC4 means you have to include stuff with it. That isn't allowed under the marketplace guidelines, as you cannot include any kind of license with it other than what Epic grant you. By stuff I mean this:

thats direct from creative commons web site.

[pliant shard]

I talked with produced they allow it

I solved

He's ok now

[ember hill]

Does he agree with the UE marketplace licence?

[graceful arrow]

See the thing is Epic go out of their way to specifically mention and allow limited use of CC-0 assets in demo content of a marketplace asset. This to me heavily infers that use of any other CC assets cannot be used. You would be wise to email the marketplace team directly, and ask them. Their email address can be found in pinned messages at the top of this channel. @pliant shard

[pliant shard]

@graceful arrow I talked with weapons creator he said.I'll allow it.I will write him name Model by bla bla

[ember hill]

Still, contact the Marketplace support for further clarity on the subject matter.

[lavish sky]

Hey, can i include a link to another Marketplace in my product description ? Or is it prohibited by the guidelines ? i didn't see anything in the guidelines

[delicate dove]

afaik that is not a problem, some people do link to their unity page as well.

Hiya,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. If it isn't, let me know where I should post it and I'll delete this one.
So, I've been working on blueprint tool in UE4 and I'm wondering if any anyone knows if it's allowed to have the same content in other marketplaces like ArtStation and Gumroad at the same time as in Unreal's Marketplace.
It seems like it's OK based on what it says in section 1.a under "Grant of License to Your Content", assuming I understood it correctly
https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/marketplace-distribution-agreement
The tool is for assets presentation with the idea of artists being able to quickly render their 3D props and characters without having to know much about the in and outs of Unreal's lighting. It's still at a very early stage so I'm thinking of releasing it for free.

[thorny compass]

There are many products listed outside the Epic's marketplace. Search for a bigger author and you will see.

[oblique bone]

Anyone knows some simple Hud for ammo, weapons display.

[half mist]

Any vendor here sells content in unity store aswell? I have some questions (Message me if possible) as i am trying to sell my ue4 content there too

[ember hill]

There's like many of them, and yes, you can sell your creations outside of UE Marketplace.

Only exceptions were made to contents provided by Epic, which in that case only limited to UE

[tawny torrent]

Yea i know that , i just have few simple questions on some processes of publishing for unity

As there community ignores and unity support team says we respond in 7 days so id appreciate if someones here sells for both messages me

Hello guys, anyone knows if epic said something about russian marketplace sellers? Should it be avoided to purchase their assets in regards to support/updates?

[delicate dove]

should be fine. the mp-team is keeping tabs on payments.

[thorny compass]

You should check your channels though. Epic can't do a stuff, if your bank is banned or you use visa/mastercard say.

[snow reef]

I don't sell stuff myself,. I'm asking as my main job is at a fairly large international company and dealing with any russian entity is now completely forbidden. Even our russian employees have been disconnected from several internal networks to comply with EU sanctions. I'm merely wondering what would happen if russian content creators would no longer get money from marketplace sales and cease to provide support as a result.

Not all companies have yet done the necessary work to comply with the sanctions, it's a bit of a mess right now.

[trim lagoon]

Shame on the West for not adhering to free market principles

[snow reef]

let's not bring politics here

[thorny compass]

I think workarounds will start to pop quickly.

[trim lagoon]

Okay fine. Just wish the best for Russian sellers and hope they aren't discriminated against in global markets.

[thorny compass]

[sand turret]

Ah ok, I thought I was in the right place, my creation is still not on the marketplace. I expected some advises here to be sure it deserve to submit it on the Marketplace. My mistake

[hollow zephyr]

@sand turret my only feedback is it looks overwhelming. maybe a really quick showcase would be great, like 30 seconds. people usually don't spend any more on youtube videos

[sand turret]

Thanks for your feedback. I never submitted anything on the marketplace, this will be a new experience for me.
I tried to make this as documented as possible to be sure Epic will accept it. But I didn't think about that my videos are too long. For all the videos I already made, it's too late, but I will make my next videos shorter, thanks 😉

[hollow zephyr]

and defintely prepare a downloadable demo and link it in the product

[thorny compass]

Feedback is on #work-in-progress buuut, I'm not playing a police. So do what you want.

Downloadable demo, I didn't think about it. I will do it. For the link, I still didn't submitted the project, so it will be later

Anybody ever had purchased content disappear from their vault? My co-developer bought Easy Systems RPG a while back. It's just straight up gone from his vault now.

He's had several other items go disappearing, and has put off putting in a ticket. But Easy Systems RPG is a $300 purchase. That finally spurred him to do so, but is this a common issue?

[delicate dove]

I think the limit is 1000 packs or something, after that stuff gets... fubar.
best to contact mp team yea.

[thorny compass]

For how long the Free assets are running? I mean, even if you go with only them you will cover a lot of your allowed storage.

[ember hill]

I'm inclined to think that limit is an oversight, not putting into account huge spenders buying lots of assets more than once a day

[charred condor]

Oh that...that is interesting to note. We may actually be over that point, even if we neve rplan to use them, we grab the free stuff every month.

[thorny compass]

There are 823 free assets as of now. Including the past For the Month, and it is 1k+.

[charred condor]

This makes sense. We may very well have over that amount by now.

[delicate dove]

its not a limit decided by them, its just when things will hit the fan :p

[charred condor]

So what do they 'do' to fix it?

[thorny compass]

Nothing. The Launcher is barely convenient since ages.

I wonder whether they even use it themselves to know about its problems.

Or maybe, nobody reports these problems? I didn't.

[charred condor]

So, what do people use instead? The browser version?

Like, just trying to get an idea of what the alternative is. We love the marketplace. So like, does the web browser not have this issue?

[delicate dove]

dont think the web-version can generate a list of all the packs you own.

[charred condor]

So what do people do instead then? Not buy from marketplace?

[delicate dove]

contact mp mainly
if you know the package, you can open it trough webbrowser though.
there arent that many people reporting this issue, so it not known how they handle this.

[graceful arrow]

Yup this doesn't https://marketplace-website-node-launcher-prod.ol.epicgames.com/ue/marketplace/en-US/store, but this does https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace

[coarse tinsel]

Hey!
I have submitted an asset for the marketplace,
it finally gets approved but needs two changes,

1) All static meshes assets must have a UV channel that is at least two. The only exception to this is if a static mesh is being used for particle effects. 2) With lightmap resolution, we view assets in lightmap density mode. If there’s excessive red, we fail this line. The goal is to have as many assets green as possible. You can read more about this topic by clicking this document link. https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/enUS/BuildingWorlds/LevelEditor/Viewports/ViewModes/
Does anyone know how I can solve this?

[pale agate]

what is the proper way to rigg a coppter to be useful in the market place ?

[slim topaz]

Is there any danger of corruption or mishandling when importing an asset into UE5 from the marketplace, if said asset is not made for it? I'm talking about the option to import for the next compatible ver
(for ex. running UE5 preview 1 and having the option to import for 4.27)

[slim topaz]

I see, thanks

nah, i was referring to more general use ones, like VFX packs

[tawny torrent]

Just submitted my unreal market place asset to unity store

I used to get mad if epic takes 24 hours without reviewing

But unity submission said that it takes 33 business days 😅 imagine “changes needed” another 33 …

Just appreciating epic team

[thorny compass]

VS?

[delicate dove]

that depends on the quality of the games vs the quality of the assets.
if both are high quality, that is good. if either of them isnt, it will reflect badly on the other. If both are bad quality, its bad, but then it doesnt matter as much.

[main sonnet]

hey peeps, can I have some recommendation, I've been waiting for a stylized materials bundle (250 total) but I'm not sure whether I really need it? I don't want to spend 50 euros just because it's 50% off, would I really need it? I'm not sure, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, here's the link to the asset;
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/stylized-250-materials-bundle

[graceful arrow]

We have no idea if you need this or not?

[main sonnet]

alright, I suppose what I'm asking is, would it be useful to actually have that bundle, where can I use it? is it really worth buying it?

[tawny torrent]

Wdym by where can i use it?

[main sonnet]

apart from using them on objects, do they have any use? I haven't worked with materials yet, only changing them of a certain asset

is it actually worth it investing onto that bundle or any bundles in general for materials or people make them on their own usually

[graceful arrow]

Two things only you can answer.

1- Do they have any use to you ?
In other words, do you look at the textures and think to yourself "That looks good, I could use that for [insert thing here]" or think that you could save a lot of time trying to make materials for something, or think you could learn from them?

2- Is it really worth buying, for you ?

if all the answers to 1 above are 'no' then no, probably not. If any of the answers are 'yes' then... maybe. It's your money and your time, we can't decide if it's worth it to you.

[main sonnet]

thank you, that's actually helpful, I still don't know where I can use them.. but.. the bundle contains 250 materials and it's 50 percent off so I'm not sure whether it's worth investing

I pretty much don't know if I would need it in the future

thank you a lot, I'll check him out, I guess once I figure how materials work, I will answer myself whether I should invest or not into the bundle

[honest vault]

anyone knows a character animation set with like pick-axe mining and tree cutting?

[raven anchor]

How often do I get updates of my sales from the marketplace?

[tawny torrent]

Not sure if i get your question but its every midnight / daily but the time depends on your region

[raven anchor]

Hm okay. I was asking since it looked like it wanted me to submit some sort of report but then when I looked it up it said every 2 week or every 45 days

I just haven't been able to get a consistent answer

[tawny torrent]

45 days was for payments but it changed to 30 days now

Are u asking about receiving the payments , or just knowing your sales

[raven anchor]

Just knowing sales

[vapid ridge]

@pliant crown What type of map style are you looking for?

[pliant crown]

Hey does anyone know where I can get a map that resembles the aesthetic of overwatch or valorant? so stylized basically.

[vapid ridge]

desert, artic, american, eu

[pliant crown]

For now anywhere, but if you can find like a japanese style or winter themed...

[vapid ridge]

You can always buy polygon assets and subdivide them or smooth them in blender

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/Synty+Studios?count=20&sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC&start=0

makes then going from how they look to one step higher.

[tawny torrent]

Yeah i did

On march 1st

[opal hazel]

why they not paying me :/

[tawny torrent]

Maybe its related to your bank

[opal hazel]

I'm using a wise account i was always getting it in few days 5th was the latest that I got

tried to contact marketplace support they are also not responsive...

[forest harbor]

Usually they will call back in couple of days. Hmm.

This is mostly a community run support channel, so we cannot help a lot in these individual cases.

[opal hazel]

i know just checking if its only me or other people have the same issue

it seems more widespread people complaining it on the forum too

[delicate dove]

@tepid aspen (sales are not allowed btw)

[tepid aspen]

Sorry - it's ok to post in released, I assume.

[delicate dove]

[glass crystal]

If I'm looking for skyboxes on the marketplace, is that the right term for them? Are they under the "Environments" section or somewhere else?

Also are there any other places that have good ones for unreal, like ArtStation or something?

[ember hill]

HDRI Haven have some good envirommemt cubemaps for free

[glass crystal]

Hmm i'm specifically looking for space cubemaps, if HDRI Haven has any I can't find them.

[ember hill]

This one, though it only has Stars + Milky Way
https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/

(also granted it's more for texturing sphere planets)

[glass crystal]

Niiiice. Maybe the best option is to use a general starfield skymap and then add a sphere planet in the foreground. Honestly I don't know enough about how skyboxes work anyways, I've got research to do for sure

Cool, but this is not the channel for those.

[split iron]

I wish they'd remove audio from marketplace that isn't somehow UE4 specific (is any?), such spam, such rubbish

I don't feel it benefits customers or sellers other than the specific seller

Would be a different story if they had to be good so you're not just endlessly sifting through bad music/audio; if you're going to do that you'd look elsewhere anyway

They basically just spam their stuff onto the store because they can

[delicate dove]

could say the same about the hundreds of those "my first substance tutorial" texture packs.

[split iron]

And I would say the same, but just saying no to music is easy, sfx can be OK

For sure there's plenty of stuff and we need better quality control

But that's a lot harder and Epic are clearly no interested

With music it's entirely engine agnostic

[thorny compass]

It wastes time tho. When there is too much noise, you need better filters.

[balmy helm]

hey guys

i preparing a material pack to sell on marketplace i wanted to ask if anyone here has some experience in selling marketplace? (any content) and if its ok if i ask some questions and get some tips? i would really appreciate it

[delicate dove]

go ahead

[ebon leaf]

oki so, i wanted to show it and ask what would be the proper price for my material pack? any tips on successful thumbnails for the marketplace? even for naming it.

like my material pack is customizable, its only 15mb and has about 100 different results (i can explain on the last part if you want)

[delicate dove]

pricing is personal, look at what others with identical packs ask, and see if yours offers more/less quality/quantity and adjust accordingly.

thumbnails need to show what you are selling in one glance.

[ebon leaf]

is it ok if you join vc? i could really quickly show you and demonstrate my material pack?

[delicate dove]

im about to head off, perhaps later today?

[ebon leaf]

oh yeah for sure

what time?

[fallow juniper]

you could search for similar packs at the marketplace

then just compare quality, quantity and price

[delicate dove]

not sure yet, depends on variables, got quite some chores to do XD

[ebon leaf]

oof feel you well if you are fully busy today i could send you some screenshots tomorrow and ask your opinion on it

[delicate dove]

yea, dm me with questions and stuff, thats fine.

[ebon leaf]

thats the problem i already did that but my pack is a bit different than usual material packs and im not sure how to balance the price in a way it still attracts costumers while not being too cheap😅

[oak fiber]

I mean how much different are you talkin about because there are a bajillion material packs and textures are textures.

[thorny compass]

inserts random dirt / heightmap texture

[ebon leaf]

i mean comparing to the free materials ive gotten from previous give aways its a bit different since i have made mine with substance designer

its a collection of middle eastern tiles, it has 10 different shape patterns and each of them has 12 different color pattern among some more customization so in general there will be 120 different variations all in one

[mighty topaz]

Hey guys. One quick question about marketplace stuff. If I purchased an VFX asset on marketplace which only support 4.27 and I want to use it in 5.0EA for commercial use, after migrated that asset from 4.27 to 5.0, does my license still work for my 5.0 project or not? Feeling confused with legal issues of using asset for commercial use.

[ember hill]

Asset licence applies per user, not limited to one version.

[ember hill]

The only thing you'd need to worry about is to be called as an "asset flipper" from using them as is, but that's avoidable if you choose assets that are consistent to your project's style.

[mighty topaz]

Thanks bro, appreciate for the help

[tawny torrent]

I can ask a product to be permanently free right?

[delicate dove]

code plugins yes, generally content added to the permanently free is chosen by the marketplace team, and they'll contact you with the offer.

[tawny torrent]

So art / 3d assets no , alright thx

[ember hill]

For assets, you can either contact Epic for agreement (and don't hold your breath on it) or distribute it somewhere else.

Sketchfab is a good option.

[tawny torrent]

Alright will check out , thx

[half mist]

When your question gets answered on the marketplace, do you get notified anywhere?

[delicate dove]

might depend on settings, seems to be a bit hit or miss.

Anyone else ever get a bug, where the marketplace wont open wishlist or search anything?

[feral tree]

Hello, I've a question about UE Marketplace free content that Epic Games makes available every month. Given a user redeems it does it stay permanently available to the person for download or just the month it was redeemed?

It is consuming a lot of disk drive space so I don't like having all summarized content wasting so much space ( I am not lucky enough to have more TB of disk space and Unreal projects are costly! )

[high jewel]

It stays.

[feral tree]

wow, that's actually awesome

thanks

This means I can remove what I don't need now from previous months and reinstall later if needed based on development needs 👍.

[high jewel]

Yes. Can also install on another machine using your Epic Account.

[feral tree]

Yeah unreal spoils us.

Do someone knows how much time it takes Epic to reply/send a email from a requested VAT Moss form sent ?

[vernal cloud]

We submitted a code plugin update and we got this back from from Epic. Any idea what they mean by: "Plugin descriptor appears to be in a newer version"

[hollow heart]

In your .uplugin file, the “FileVersion” field should be 3, but in the submitted file it’s 4. This field is for the version number of the json format/schema used for plugins. It should not be incremented when a new version of the plugin is made. Increment the “Version” field instead.

[viral gazelle]

Anyone know if creating and then using concept art (for something like a loading screen) based on one of the paragons is ok? Using the characters themselves is fine obviously, but i'd like to use it as a main character and im not sure if using it for art is ok

should be fine, as long as its a ue game

Someone knows a direct contact for an intern into Epic or so on the marketplace area ?
I tried to contact but they never reply back with the needed data or takes 15 days and there is no reply, without being able to reply anymore their emails 😔

[uneven sierra]

I saw this in Unreal Engine 4.26 patch notes. I think I've seen this somewhere before but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know what this is from? Could certainly be something provided by Epic, I think it is, but I haven't found it yet

[hollow zephyr]

The city might be from the brushify city pack

[slim rover]

Does anyone know when the next huge marketplace sale happens? I need to buy a ton of assets and want to do it during a sale

[delicate dove]

even if we knew, we are not allowed to say

[cunning jolt]

How "soon" is soon ?

[delicate dove]

sooooooon

[thorny compass]

Fake account ^

[agile shadow]

Nah can confirm

real deal

[wooden falcon]

well, it is April 1st...

[cunning jolt]

Thanks. I'm working on a UE5 plugin, do you know if there's any core rendering change ?

[delicate dove]

you'll have to find out, as we cant publicly mention those changes.

[cunning jolt]

Makes sense ! well if I show you this, do you have something to say about it...that you can say ?

[delicate dove]

As someone who really likes all sorts of ores, I am sure Tim approves of fractal shapes.

[cunning jolt]

Thanks for that 🙂 There were changes between EA and Preview and we had to make changes to the plugin, now I hope UE5 official is not going to break stuff up !

[delicate dove]

im not Tim btw, just a moderator.
But fun fact: if you send Tim a nice unique rock/ore, he'll probably send one back as a thank you.

[cunning jolt]

lol I didn't even know who Tim was before this 🤣 Nice

[slim rover]

Thanks Tim for answering!

[snow reef]

Hello guys, I came across this pack and the author has like five of them: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/character-portraits-pack-5

It's very obvious this is images from artbreeder

But in artbreeder's terms of use, images created with it are Creative Commons CC0, so unless I'm mistaken it doesn't make a whole of sense to sell packs of images generated with it

[ember hill]

CC0 means the asset is waived to public domain and can be commercialised.

[snow reef]

Oh good to know, I had no idea it allowed commercialization

[ember hill]

Licence allows for it, but ethics/morals may differ on the judgement.

Just the source code has to be exposed for free.
Assets (and project specific code) can still be closed source, but GPL warriors might wish those are free open source as well

Speaking of GPL, I'm still kinda baffled how the official UE Blender plugins are closed source and I have yet to see someone complain on it not in GPL because of bpy

[sage smelt]

Do you all think that someone wanting to publish a game on the epic store should make another epic account to represent it, or just stay with the personal epic account?

I am looking to publish on steam and many there suggest that you create a second account so that your personal steam profile actions do not affect your project. Like if you gave a bad review to a game or got into an argument on a forum.

Should I do the same for Epic as well?

Sorry to ask this here, but not sure the proper place to post it.

So you say create a new one.
Also since you say corporate I assume you work as an LLC?
Currently mine is a Sole proprietorship but thinking of forming an LLC before I list

In any event this is going away from the threads main topic, thanks for the help

[trim lagoon]

Is there no free assets for april?

Asking for a friend

[hollow zephyr]

Is it tuesday???

[trim lagoon]

no its not tuesday.. i though it was first of the month

guess im just too new

[thorny compass]

Definitely. This question is asked several times around about now.

[trim lagoon]

Sorry then :P

[thorny compass]

Its fine really. As I said, it is common. Glad they continue giving Free stuff.

[queen temple]

anyone else getting "unknown error" when trying to post a question to an asset on marketplace?

tried logging out and back in...everything else works fine...but im unable to post questions or reviews...it just saids "unknown error"

[delicate dove]

best to report it to the team

https://marketplacehelp.epicgames.com/s/markeplace-case-form

[queen temple]

account issue or bug report?

[delicate dove]

bug prolly

[scarlet mountain]

Make sure you have disabled adblockers and privacy badger (if you use it)

Just in case before spending your time on a bug report

[delicate dove]

never had any issues with ad/cookie blockers and such installed myself. but yea

[scarlet mountain]

Me neither, but always a chance an updated list broke something

[delicate dove]

yups

[scarlet mountain]

Easy check vs several hours or days for support

[queen temple]

it started last night, i figured it was a server issue so i went back to try again today...yeah no ad blockers or anything, when shut off the firewall to see if somehow it put the launcher on a list somewhere

still "unknown error" with no context....

[delicate dove]

could you try on my pack?

[queen temple]

like thanks launcher...lol

[delicate dove]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/luos-s-noise-texture-pack

I can at least reply to questions.

[delicate dove]

odd

[queen temple]

let me try through the web browser

ok from browser i can comment

i think...see if you see it

[delicate dove]

yup

[queen temple]

ok ill delete that

ughh i do everything through the launcher

[delicate dove]

i'll try launcher too. never use it when its marketplace related

[queen temple]

it there a varify files for launcher...i know the engine has a varify option

is there* ?

[delicate dove]

https://i.gyazo.com/872e0f9f22a6bfe492ae1de0c8f0098c.png

its a bug

[queen temple]

ok so not just me

[delicate dove]

correct

[queen temple]

then its a wait it out issue

thank you for taking the time to help test it

[delicate dove]

yea, reporting helps though :)

[queen temple]

i did

[delicate dove]

then its all good :)

I also submitted one, just in case

[queen temple]

i was just trying to find out what was updated in a couple packs i own...

i wish they had a "diff" viewer in the launcher

[delicate dove]

yuuuuup

[queen temple]

when a creator doesnt have a list of what changed it becomes "ok so im using this, do i annoy them with the question"

[delicate dove]

yea, forced update lists would be nice. (if it isnt an update to just work on a newer version)

[tame tundra]

Is there a way to show only packs that need updating in my vault? Everytime I see the upgrade notification on my library I have to scroll and check every pack individually...

[thorny compass]

You can see them when clicking on the engine? They are sorted at the top.

[tame tundra]

Not plugins, individual content packs 😺

[bold yarrow]

Hey people, anyone signed up to be a seller on the Marketplace?

[delicate dove]

< one of many

[bold yarrow]

I can't figure this out

Tried it yesterday as well

It doesn't want to let me submit

[delicate dove]

removing that, just in case

not sure where I have the papers, lemme look

[bold yarrow]

Ok and thank you

[delicate dove]

odd, looks fine.

I think I had to remove my middle names, maybe that is it?

else i'd contact the mp-team.

[e-mail]

[bold yarrow]

Ok thanks

[delicate dove]

good luck!

[bold yarrow]

👍

[hasty nexus]

not again...

only each month

first Tuesday of each month

[placid cedar]

Thanks I never knew

[vale prawn]

That's the only way AFAIK (and I'm in the same boat as you)

[tame tundra]

It would be a nice QoL feature to have "Update Available" as a filter for the Vault List allowing users to easily isolate which content packs need updating & select which ones they want to update as needed!

An "Update All" button for content packs & plugins would also be nice 😹

[delicate dove]

^ i'd love to see that as well

[graceful arrow]

and so say we all.

[tame tundra]

Posted, pending approval (^:

Post is now approved!

[subtle pine]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/runtime-audio-importer how can i keep audio files in storage instead of ram?

@mental comet

[ember hill]

Your free shit will come on Tuesday.

As per usual.

[subtle pine]

and When will m4a support be added?

[ember hill]

M4A is not that widely used compared to MP3

[subtle pine]

I didn't know that, actually there is no need. mp3 is enough.

but I don't know why it doesn't upload audio files to storage.

[ember hill]

I'm inclined to think it's in the context of feature where players put their own music files in game

[vale prawn]

Seeing as "State of Unreal" is scheduled at the usual "Free for the month" timeslot, and it includes a full Matrix demo breakdown, maybe the free content will be the demo itself (as previously announced) and not MP creator's product.

[ember hill]

That's WAY too far fetched.
Epic content never belong to free for the month.

Free for the month is ALWAYS existing Marketplace content from Marketplace sellers, and NEVER include contents provided by Epic Games.

[scarlet mountain]

Was the matrix demo ever actually announced as that. I see lots of speculation, but I haven't seen a first party source that it will be released

Right. So the good tech stuff but removing any matrix IP. Makes sense

[hasty flower]

Did they release free marketplace assets for april?

[delicate dove]

as always, first tuesday of the month

[hasty flower]

ah ok, thanks! 🙂

[delicate dove]

np :)

[modern marsh]

did something change so that browsing marketplace will open in browser or is there just something wrong with my launcher? this is a fresh install

[delicate dove]

something is currently up about that yea

[thorny compass]

When Launcher 5.0 ?

It needs nanite thumbnails as it can barely move them around.

[zealous spire]

I'm glad I checked this channel. I almost forgot to grab March's free files. 😅

[fleet garnet]

Time to add more assets to my ever-growing list of markeplace assets I'll probably never get around using lol

[pliant forum]

That's not how we're suppose to say it.. We "show support" to our fellow creators, that's all

[ember hill]

In my case they're more lucky because I used them for my machinima project, which is far more experimental and freeform

[finite dome]

It's Tuesdays gents time to see what we get this month

[ember hill]

Probs after SoU

[finite dome]

That's OK with me

[ember hill]

At least for Far East time zone it's might as well tomorrow lol

[ebon leaf]

I will be honest -- the free market place assets were a major source of interest for me some years ago when I was making mods for an indie game.

Sometimes they would release somethings from the Dekagon studios guys and those assets were all incredible.

It renewed my interest in Unreal Engine.

[ember hill]

Early on the free stuff were bonkers

[silent mesa]

Mostly 3d assets this month, I like the VP real food, high quality models

[graceful arrow]

VP food 😉

[ember hill]

Ugh, VP

At least give me VP company who are more willing to give chance for doing R&D and making templates

[tawny hinge]

@zealous spire maybe also add an unreal-news entry for new free marketplace content of april (which also released today ;))

[zealous spire]

Yep I'm getting to it. 🙂

[finite dome]

They have a lot of news posts to work on hahah

[ebon leaf]

Question -- Matrix city assets --> Can these be used commercially?

[lime relic]

No

[ember hill]

Yes

It's part of Epic Games content and devoid of any references to The Matrix IP, so you're good to use it.

However people will stamp you asset flipper if you're lazily selling a "game" with just the demo map with barely any effort

[graceful arrow]

As with all of Epics own content, it can only be used in Unreal Engine projects [content by content creators ie us, can be used anywhere etc]

[ebon leaf]

I have seen the "flipper" label thrown at nearly any game that used a marketplace asset. People call PUBG an asset flip because some of their assets were purchasable. I think that label is unfair, dishonest, and stems from a group of curmudgeons that have a really toxic, naive view of game development as this easy, low effort thing.

[finite dome]

I think there's a line and that line is very blurred and I think often size dependent you see a lot of individual game devs that will use assets and no one cares if used within reason as long as it's not an asset showcase with a minor in game play people don't mind. But on the flipside when you're a large dev like pubg and use a bunch of assets it just seems lazy

The Market place is there for a reason right and people should be able to use it but when you're whole game is just a simple shooter kit bashing assets that feels a bit cheap

[ebon leaf]

As one of the earlier players of pubg, I think what they had made (as a game) was very original.

It was original enough to become the #1 game on steam and, arguably, lead to multiple AAA studios borrowing their gameplay design ideas.

PUBG then fell from their top spot as the "similar" games that borrowed some of their gameplay ideas executed a more improved design

But I'd say PUBG is a success storey of a company successfully leveraging market place assets to make a game.

[finite dome]

If I remember correctly it was made by a pretty large dev team backed by ten cent I'm not saying it's not unique

[winter hollow]

If i temporary lost access to my marketplace account due to country access resteictions, now i noticed (ppl messaged me on discord) that my plugin currently unlisted and i cant check notifications without email.
Is it possible to contact someone to check state or at least prevent loosing them?

Since all i have rn is little of very restricted mobile internet rn

[ember hill]

Maybe try e-mailing the support team. E-mails shouldn't be restricted on the Russo regions

[winter hollow]

Already lost my google cloud without being able to do anything

[ember hill]

Maybe Yandex? If it still able to send emails on other domains

Though on different address it might be difficult for the support team to know that it's you

[winter hollow]

Im from ukraine, but my email on yandex

Most of web access is restricted to social networks amd few other websites

Surprised discord still works :)

[ember hill]

I thought Ukraine isn't restricted in service as in Russia...
But dang, stay safe, bud. Well wishes for you and your relatives. Sorry that I can't think of any further solutions.

[thorny compass]

Have you tried some sort of VPN?

[winter hollow]

I did try. ukr mobile internet is super restricted here

[thorny compass]

The other idea is to see if a bud can help you by redirecting your mail to one you can access.
Or just use some kind of remote desktop connection to see through someone else PCs your mail.

[ember hill]

I'd love to volunteer, but I'm afraid of the stuff along the way

I don't know the timezone, but my connection is on its best at midnight in my timezone (GMT+7)

[half mist]

I'v been sent from the Epic gods to save your drive space

C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\VaultCache

You are welcome

[thorny compass]

What are you even talking about?

[dire meteor]

I assume he means you can recover space to deleting your vault cache.

[thorny compass]

But you can remove it from the launcher too?

[silent mesa]

Hope the marketplace team assigned in approving assets for upgrade to UE5 is still ok right now 😄 Still waiting for my favorite assets to get the UE5 update 🙂

[cobalt sluice]

Are WhitelistPlatforms still needed in uplugins? I see this warning on the build-- warning : Unknown platform Switch/Win32/XboxOne/PS4 while parsing allow list for module descriptor

[toxic forge]

Why doesn't it work? 😓 I just bought the Macbook pro M1 MAX! Do you have any alternatives for creating a city? tThank you so much

[ebon leaf]

Did anybody try this one pack? "city sample vehicles pack"

[sturdy hawk]

It was renamed PlatformAllowList I believe

[cobalt sluice]

I got the most useless rejection notice from trying to update my marketplace plugin for UE5. Worked fine for one of them, the other two came back with just...

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'd:\build\U5M-Marketplace\Sync\LocalBuilds\PluginTemp\HostProject\Plugins\BetterConstructionScripts\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-BetterConstructionScripts.dll'

They all build fine locally so it's a bit bizarre

[cobalt sluice]

If anyone has any idea on why this would happen please @ me! For now I've just tried resubmitting hoping that there was something wrong with their build machine..

[spring mortar]

Is it possible to get assets from the marketplace without going through the epic launcher?

Epic games launcher doesn't work on my PC, I'm using Unreal Engine from a source build

[sudden veldt]

There's a web interface: https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/store

[spring mortar]

Ahh alright thanks!

[sudden veldt]

One thing I do for source builds is just install the content to a dummy project and then copy over.

[spring mortar]

Why not just install the content directly to the existing lrojext?

Project?*

[ebon leaf]

For example in my case i always like to do some cleaning, remove all the "junk" files i don't need and then migrate it to my project

[ember hill]

Jokes on him, I put it on D drive lmao

[polar oyster]

are there any plugins in marketplace for mysql that work with android?

[spring mortar]

It doesn't let me download it directly?

Only through opening it in the launcher

[spring mortar]

Is there any way to do it without the launched

Launcher*

Since the launcher doesn't work on my computer

[raven anchor]

How do I withdraw my marketplace earnings? I tried googling but I guess I'm not putting in the right keywords or something

I think my payment report may not be tracking because its still stuck at 0 when its passed the minimum amount for withdrawal after 30 days

[hollow zephyr]

For february? It's 30 days delayed - by 1st of April you get paid for February sales

[sturdy hawk]

The marketplace pay you via the method you provided (wire transfer usually) one month late.
For exemple, your earning of January (1-31) will be paid on 1st of March (roughly)

[raven anchor]

Ah okay. Didnt know it was 30 days delayed

Is the payment report not showing anything normal then?

[sturdy hawk]

payment report are generated when you get pay

[raven anchor]

Got it, thanks

[strange sedge]

does anyone here know when the monthly free stuff in the marketplace refreshes

[delicate dove]

first tuesday of the month

[strange sedge]

Thx, I always get the stuff late and it's annoying af to have to look through all of the free stuff to add it to my library (tbh, there has to be a toggleable setting in the Unreal Marketplace to hide things that you already own)

[graceful arrow]

Indeed.

[strange sedge]

thx, I just put it as a google reminder

[zealous spire]

I post the free content every month in #unreal-news. Epic usually does a blog post, but they didn't this time.

[muted sigil]

Has anyone had an issue with being able to download city sample today?

[dark raven]

same

vanished from my vault

[delicate dove]

yea, seems they removed it

maybe there was leftover matrix-copyrighted stuff in it

[muted sigil]

Its interesting to say the least.

[dark raven]

well i ended up deleting the uproject to unlist it from my project library cuz i wanted the cache somewhere else

then i saw this and immediately installed disk drill and recovered the uproject

[muted sigil]

there is no news on it so far anywhere i have seen. Im sure it will start making its rounds.

[ember hill]

Also how about Action RPG sample? Someone said that it's marked as Not For Sale
#ue4-general message

[calm yoke]

The source of the issue has now been fixed. Users will need to completely exit and restart their launcher and it should resolve the issue 🙂

[delicate dove]

thanks @calm yoke :)

[round lava]

Can't seem to add lyra sample game to my account.

It says unavailable. Any ideas what's going on?

[brisk thicket]

@round lava do you have UE 5.0 installed? (and not preview or ea)

[round lava]

yea

[round lava]

turns out I had to run UE5 once at least and now it works (was a fresh install)

[slate magnet]

Try closing and opening launcher, go on marketplace, etc. Log in properly. Its one of those. I had similar issue. Sometimes I would just get some strange error.

[thorny compass]

@graceful arrow when free assets?

[graceful arrow]

The day after the 1st Monday of the month.

[scarlet mountain]

What if the first Tuesday of the month is the first day of the month?!?!

[graceful arrow]

That's happened, and unbelievably they still came out. Yeah I know right?

[scarlet mountain]

https://c.tenor.com/wn2_Qq6flogAAAAM/magical-magic.gif

[thorny compass]

Which month?

[graceful arrow]

Yes

[thorny compass]

You should be a mod, thank you 🙏

[delicate dove]

lol

[ember hill]

What if I don't like mondays?

[ivory isle]

is it me or is the marketplace really sluggiesh?

some of the city assets aren't available for me?

[thorny compass]

It looks even a bit more snappy to me.

[candid rivet]

Hey guys, does anyone know about "Project Anywhere XR" it gives me an error when i try to purchase it from the marketplace (sorry, an error occurred and we are unable to resolve it).

I can purchase other things fine.

https://unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/learn/project-anywhere-xr#

[sturdy hawk]

Just wanted to say that I added UE5 to orbital market search filter!
(it's a fast search engine for the marketplace, with lot of filters)
https://orbital-market.com/

[thorny compass]

Have you planned a Vault btw?

Or just some way to mark what is owned.

[sturdy hawk]

I have it in my backlog, but it's quite time-consuming to set it up, and I don't have a lot of time lately for such free work 😕

[scarlet mountain]

Totally understandable

It's pretty awesome, have you applied or considered applying for a megagrant?

[sturdy hawk]

Yep, got rejected 😅 !

[scarlet mountain]

Oof

Their marketplace and launcher really needs some love. I'd love better info on updates as well as a list of assets that have been added to a project to make credits easier

[sturdy hawk]

But hey, there's about ~150 unique visitors every day, so I like to think that I'm helping some people 😄 !

[sturdy hawk]

That would be awesome

[paper root]

Hello all, I keep getting this error when attempting to add the City Sample Vehicles to a UE5 project. I have UE5 (NOT EA or Preview) installed, and the project I am trying to add them to is also 5.0 (not converted from an earlier version). My OS is also supported by the supported platforms. Any ideas? (reinstall + restart did not work)

[unborn plover]

Free pack, thought you all might be interested

[proud delta]

Does anyone else have issues accessing the marketplace using Chrome? It seems to come and go.

Updating it seemed to fix it, but now it's broken again.

[split bronze]

Working fine for me

[proud delta]

Windows or OSX?

Hmm, just checked my OSX machine and it's fine. Just my Windows. Every other page works fine, though. Maybe it's a plugin or something.

[ancient vine]

What is the error code

[hollow zephyr]

it seems my packs load fine in UE5, except the baked lighting needs rebuilding (black patches). any point in adding new versions just for this? 🤔

[restive citrus]

I just made a project from Medieval Game Environment but its not opening, any help. It is showing in Task Manager but is not opening.

hey! don't let someone pay you $500 and "6 months of 50% profits" for them to take your work and publish it on the Unreal marketplace. then also say "but we also have a big following! exposure!" when they really don't credit people
just publish yourself!! 100% of profits forever!

What happened?

Did she get scammed by those people because I'll delete the post then

[delicate dove]

oh they are rather predatory

not scammed

basically paying starting devs peanuts and take most of the money.

its legal, but.. well.. read the thread :)

[unborn plover]

I see

I didn't know

[delicate dove]

just though I post it here, might be worth a discussion among fellow mp-people and likeminded people.

[unborn plover]

I figured since it was free they're the good guys

[delicate dove]

50/50

(imho)

free content is always nice of course, but lately they have been mentioned in negative posts.

[ember hill]

Well, free and good quality is mutually exclusive anyway

Look for free stuff and you get shit
Look for good stuff and you have to pay for it

Not that there's anything wrong with it, but it's just often the case with gratis stuff (and to some extent even libre ones)

[delicate dove]

I purchased a looooot of archviz content as of late, cheap ones, and annoyingly expensive ones. and let me tell you, they all make a lot of weird mistakes in their meshes, textures, and materials. its furiating. I spend weeks optimizing it and reducing loads. went from 80gb to 9.8, and barely any visual detail changes.

pencils that took over 80mb of texture files.

https://imgur.com/COlyhIy

[thorny compass]

Archviz and optimisation... hmmm...........

[hollow zephyr]

Wait so they only pay you for 6 months and done?

Ive made 90% of my sales in the next 2 years, not the first months lol

[ebon leaf]

so which one is the best for you (and free)

[ember hill]

Free?
Well, for that specific aesthetics, the good ones are paid

[civic bay]

Is there a way to "force" the Launcher to look for new marketplace versions?

My launcher keeps giving me v5.1.2 of Oceanology and telling me its the latest, but there is v5.1.3 that other people get when they download it (per the discord, not just the developer saying they released ).

So why would some people be able to get the new version and not other people?

Is it perhaps a "region" issue? Does Unreal have marketplace regions/cdn for distriubtion maybe?

[grand stratus]

Just trying to download the City Sample vehicles and even though I have UE5.0 installed and good to go, I get this when trying to add to a project ...

[half dirge]

Sorry if this has been asked often, but the words seems to common for a search (questions, respond)

I asked a marketplace vendor a question, they responded with a question to clarify, how do I respond back? there doesnt seem to be an option

same issue in both chrome and launcher

[winter hollow]

So, my hyperwalllet got terminated due to sanctions.
Is it possible to reopen it if i move somewhere else in ukraine or to eu?
Is it possible to recover it?
Is it possible to transfer plugin to official corp account or smth like that
I have no access to anything other than discord rn sitting for past month in basement with a tablet

[delicate dove]

i'd suggest to contact the marketplace team, and find out what they know/willing to share.

[oak whale]

Hey got a question - Is anyone having problems downloading stuff from the Unreal Marketplace?

It just is not working for me

Hmm seems to be just for this one plugin for Unreal 5. Will reach out to the dev about this

[thorny vault]

I'm curious to hear from the more "pro" UE devs here if there's any plugins you swear by. There's so much stuff on the MP. I'm sure there are real gold nuggets there, but I haven't really had the time or inclination to go through and read/try the things out.

For example, I love Blueprint Assist. Just one keypress to organize my spaghetti into neat lines. Also, Autosize comments is awesome too.

Multi Objects Renaming Tool is handy when you want to prefix a bunch of assets. Don't use it a whole lot, but when I need it, it's a great convenience to have.

[delicate dove]

Node Graph Assistant
Export PNG
Asset Batch Edit Plugin
Property Transfer Tool
RMATextureResizer
Zen Dev
Blockout Tools
Not Yet Unused Assets Filter
Texture Resize SC
and not to toot my own horn, but I install my material function libraries on engine level, which makes me consider actually putting them up as plugins at some point, which @fluid cargo suggested.

[thorny vault]

@delicate dove You still use Blockout Tools in UE5? I find their cube grid tool is really good as it is

[delicate dove]

havent used ue5 enough to give that a go yet.
It would be a good replacement, yea

I've been meaning to get your Noise Texture Pack btw. Such cloud masks are always handy

[delicate dove]

you can always grab the smaller free ones on my gumroad (as they are also added asa part of that package) if you are low on cash.

(or just dont wanna spend money in general XD)

[thorny vault]

Ooh awesome

[thorny compass]

I will never understand these resizers and channel repackers and etc.

Blockout Tools is cool btw.

[fluid cargo]

Logic Driver Pro, Advanced Sessions, Fantastic Perspective, 2nd vote to Blockout Tools, If you are doing 2D then Spine2D is a must for its runtimes. And an engine install isn't complete without @delicate dove's material function libraries and now noise packs.

[ember hill]

engine install isn't complete

Hehehehe

hi

how many games i release with assets i purchased?

is there a limit per asset?

like lets say i buy a character and sell the game with it if i want to make another that contains it do i have to buy it again?

[delicate dove]

nope

use as often as you like

[solemn burrow]

thanks for the answer 🙂

[ember hill]

No, but at that point you can worry about players noticing the assets being the same across games, which is not that unusual anyway. (Games reuse assets from prev. instalments all the time)

[solemn burrow]

i see

Where can I down the 2021 tax form?

[raw cedar]

Is it intentional for assets when installed via "Add to Project" are able to add files outside of a project's Content folder (ie: the root of a project) and also wipe out config files? I feel like there should be some kind of protected directories or something.

[ember hill]

Unfortunately yes
It's a bit pain in the arse to deal with, since they can override project settings

Though with source control, it's as simple as reverting the unstaged changes

[tame tundra]

I usually keep an extra project to add files from the launcher to & then migrate from there to the one I am actually working on - it isn't perfect but it helps reduce the risk!

[subtle pine]

No problem, thank you for your reply.

[ebon leaf]

hey guys

i made the first trailer for my first material pack and before publishing it i wanted to ask for you guys opinion on it, if anything needs to be changed or any tips and etc.

https://youtu.be/ilQV8tWCUw0

[delicate dove]

I'd show the material instance options, maybe a shader complexity view. but besides that, I dig that video.

[ebon leaf]

i had that in mind actually but my video editing sucks 😂 i might implement it in the second trailer and also a really quick and stupid question...how can i share the shader complexity?😅

[delicate dove]

alt+8 in viewport

[ebon leaf]

ohhh oki thank yoou

any name suggestions btw?😅
rn i have this in mind

(CCM) Compact and Customizable Material pack: middle eastern ornaments

i guess ill have to use (CCM) as logo and not in title

[delicate dove]

modular middle eastern materials XD
no clue, im not good at thinking of names. sounds fine me thinks.

[ebon leaf]

hahaha ok but jokes aside thats not a bad option either something modular material pack or something

ok one last question

do you think itll be helpful if i release a demo version of it with less features for free to let people test t before buying it or do you think its a bad idea?

like with 3 patterns and idk 3 colors and only 3 variation of roughness map and etc?

or you think it will make it worse and people only get the demo and wont buy the actual thing?

[delicate dove]

hmm, smarty-pants will be able to understand and then add on top of the material functionality. in this case that might not be what you want.

[ebon leaf]

hmmmm youre right on that one might not be the best idea

well thank you sooooooooooo much for your help ill better get going to make the 2nd trailer for it :D

[delicate dove]

good luck!

Has anyone ever had an "Update Available" notification for MP products that come as full projects? Because I've noticed that many of those I own (and I have locally in my vault) have been updated to UE5 (and they're cars, so they're real updates, because Chaos), and I haven't had a single notification (no 🟠).

So now I guess I have to browse through my 200+ products daily, check which one are projects, and then check if they've been updated?

Hey, at least the MP has a "Complete projects" filter, so I have that going for me...

[summer cloud]

Hi, does anyone know if the config files that are in a zipped project get pushed to the customer or is it only whats inside the content folder?

nvm, think i got my answer 🙂

[half mist]

Hello

Please

I'm dying

Do I really have to install the launcher version of 5.0 to be able to install plugins for it

Why is it so depressing like this

I hate this launcher so mcuh

Please why is it so bad

[half mist]

please send me Node Graph Assistant I swear I own it I just can't install it

I don't want to install 5.0 launcher

😭

oh wait maybe my ue4 version will work for ue5

let me try

Omg

it doesn't work

I want the 5.0 versio nplease somene send me

I am suffering without that plugin

This is what I have to do to install a plugin

I hate this launcher so much

[soft elm]

Lol what's going on? Weapon master stuff went on sale... for like two hours, then all assets except one was unlisted? https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/WeaponMaster+Animset?count=20&sortBy=effectiveDate&sortDir=DESC&start=0

[thorny compass]

Insider's trading.

Ask the author.

[soft elm]

Yeah, felt like he opened up sale for a short window, but still, why not just revoke sale, why unlist everything? weird 🙂

[thorny compass]

When you don't want to support these anymore.

[soft elm]

Sure, but I mean, he's a pretty established author with quality packs. Oh well, shouldn't be gossiping

[thorny compass]

Yeah, no clue.

[soft elm]

I'm surprised you can even unlist your assets that fast 🙂

[soft elm]

There've been a few established authors over time that's been delisted for a time, anyone know what's the typical reason? My guess is complaint that they haven't been supporting their product leading to a temporary unlisting, but I'm really guessing here...

[vale prawn]

I ended up making a Discord bot that notifies me when a product gets updated to 5.0 🙃

[vale prawn]

Jesus, Epic approved some vehicles products for UE5 that still use PhysX, therefore making them absolutely unusable. I'm not sure who to be more disappointed by: the creator or Epic...

[scarlet mountain]

That's a pretty big oversight

[ember hill]

CHAOS!!

(accidentally left reply)

[hollow zephyr]

I don't think they check anything for file updates, leaving the fault to the creator

[vale prawn]

I've made a post on the forums about this issue, not sure anyone at Epic will read it though. I'm pretty sure they check for file updates, but I don't know if they do if you just change the compatibility, without updating files. I'd understand that it's a lot of work if they had to retest everything for each engine update, but maybe make an exception for vehicles and UE5? Because if a vehicle is marked as UE5 ready without a file update, you don't even need to test it to reject it 😉

And not to blame Epic over creators, but they managed to make a 40min video titled "Upgrading your UE4 Project to UE5" without once mentioning that PhysX is removed and Chaos is now default. That definitely won't help creators...

[scarlet mountain]

Yeah, I'm actually surprised by how low key the messaging on vehicles has been. The physics change has in most other cases been pretty transparent, but definitely not for vehicles

Considering they invested in the new demo car, and that cars were such a huge aspect of the flagship matrix demo

[thorny compass]

What is the problem with allowing HW specific products?

@terse edge Nice ones, I haven't even gotten far enough in my project to worry about level design, but those do look handy for that.
