"Perma-alpha testing" I'm on that feel @safe rose

Yeah, One day we'll reach 1.0 release of Unreal Engine 4

#

The day after UE5 release

teal tulip Jun 6, 2018, 9:24 PM

or probably no, and they move 5

and repeat

safe rose Jun 6, 2018, 9:25 PM

#

Still don't believe we don't have a stability release yet

#

That just focuses on bugs and PRs

(which from those PRs are surely come more bugs, but w/e)

will never happen

safe rose Jun 6, 2018, 9:27 PM

4.10 was, and it was supposed to be every 5 releases

4.15 came and that never happened and that promise went away quick

4.20 is anything, but stable.

Yeah, all I hear are complaints, I'll wait for 4.20.2

Maybe 4.20.8

How can i update ue without downloading another 7gb

Because it's obvious that .0 release still are buggy

grim ore Jun 6, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

you can't @supple horizon , UE4 does not really do delta updates so it's gonna be a biggin. Plus each primary engine version is installed side by side

#

oof. Alot more "this shit is broke" posts on the 4.20p1 thread compared to "yay new feature" than normal

@grim ore how using the editor? I'm using the PrintScr solution, but it's a pain

grim ore Jun 6, 2018, 11:37 PM

#

top left corner of the viewport is a drop down, menu. Near the bottom is high resolution screenshot

#

it looks like its also f9 for a normal screen capture of the viewport and you can also bind a key to the high resolution screenshot menu in the settings

Would someone here be able to guide me on the right path?
I'm designing a first person, nonlinear apocalypse strategy game. One of the key mechanics is to be able to use electronics such as routers and wifi extenders to create a LAN, as a way to communicate with survivors in your safe area, remote control turrets, and view security camera footage. Would this be possible in the Unreal Engine?

void palm Jun 7, 2018, 12:48 AM

#

does anybody know if you can rotate the top view?

#

@vale silo how do you know what type to choose for Android?

#

like

#

ETC2 or ASTC?

vale silo Jun 7, 2018, 12:49 AM

that is what i mean

vale silo Jun 7, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

well, in UE4 it's only ETC2 for Gear VR

void palm Jun 7, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

for general devices i mean

#

how do you know which one to pick?

vale silo Jun 7, 2018, 12:50 AM

#

ASTC requires ES3.1 renderer and it's not quite supported by Gear VR (although it Unity's ES3.1 works fine with GEar VR)

void palm Jun 7, 2018, 12:50 AM

#

no i mean in general

#

like for a normal Android game

vale silo Jun 7, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

use ETC2 and you will be fine for all modern devices

void palm Jun 7, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

but you just said ETC2 is for Gear VR

vale silo Jun 7, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

or use ASTC and ES3.1 render and you'll be fine on all flagship devices

#

I mean, Gear VR will only work with ETC2 UE4 builds

#

you can use ETC2 for any Android device

void palm Jun 7, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

what is ES3.1?

vale silo Jun 7, 2018, 12:52 AM

#

🤦

void palm Jun 7, 2018, 12:52 AM

how do you know if you need a different option?

Try it and see!

winged crypt Jun 7, 2018, 7:39 AM

#

hmm

#

not noticing any difference now but if I do it on multiple actors, might hurt

kindred mountain Jun 7, 2018, 7:49 AM

#

it's a trivial calculation, not worth worrying about

winged crypt Jun 7, 2018, 7:50 AM

#

@kindred mountain think it'll make a difference if I have 10-20 actors lerping a single transform in each simultaneously?

#

I could reduce it down to only calculate on condition

kindred mountain Jun 7, 2018, 7:51 AM

#

not a problem with 10-20

#

the engine will be doing huge numbers of matrix calculations every frame....modern systems eat that sort of stuff for breakfast

#

basically, don't worry about it unless you have a performance problem and your profiling points you to it

Hey,

I'm encountering a major problem.
Somehow my triggers stop working as soon as i package the project.

In editor everything works fine and as expected. In the packaged version nothing reacts correctly.

First I found that some triggers did not work because the communication to my game instance didnt work correctly.
This was fixed by editing the DefaultEngine.ini (found another thread where somebody figured that out - if you rename or move the gameinstance blueprint the DefaultEngine.ini doesnt get updated)
But now also other triggers stopped working completely.

I need urgent support for this matter and hope somebody can help me.

Just wanting to confirm. I've been searching on how to remove uninstalled vault content from the ue launcher, but it seems that's not possible. Is that correct?

grim ore Jun 7, 2018, 10:52 PM

#

From what I can tell the bottom part of the launcher for the vault content is bound to your account, it's a record of your purchases. You can probably ask Epic to remove something if you really don't want it.

That's alright, not important really, just an aesthetic thing. Thanks

is it possible in pc?

I dunno if there are pc game ad services

There used to be flash ad services, not sure if PC itself really has one.

#

i believe there's a plugin for ue4 even...to add ads in the game

worn granite Jun 7, 2018, 11:59 PM

#

short answer : yes its possible
longer answer: its possible, but you are probably going to have to do a good portion of the work.

#

I think those are all for another ad service

most of which are mobile

But does UE4 support having 2 cameras rendering at the same time?

cursive dirge Jun 8, 2018, 12:11 AM

you can't render two views on top of eachother efficiently with ue4

#

you can make a scenecapture from other tho

#

and then render it on top, fade it

#

but full res capture is expensive

its free

hello guys

#

I have a question I was have yeterday third person character that was broken and one person said me that I must to migrate it from new project- I did this but how to choose the new character with it to play?

lyric mica Jun 8, 2018, 5:06 AM

#

Hi @plush yew , In your game mode BP you can set your default player controller class

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 5:06 AM

#

okay I will try it

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Omg I have 3Characters

#

I will delete all and then add one person-okay?

#

okay blobsmile

#

@plush yew you can set it in the game mode you are using, or in your world settings on the right side details panel.

#

it is late for already 😃

#

and keep in mind there are some good MP assets you can try out if you wana get some stuff tested without too much code work to start with.

#

I delete all the chcracters because I had 3 -omg

#

well what did you do in your project? you can simply start a new third person project and use "migrate" to migrate assets to that new project.

#

by right clicking on the asset in the old one and selecting migrate.

#

I did that with the migrate

#

and?

#

you have to migrate all dependent BPs

#

I will migrate again because i deleted the 3 characters

#

k

#

but only the character BP or all the folder?

#

no i am saying if you make a new third person proj, you can migrate any custom code from the old proj into the new one.

#

so like any movement code or anything you have in there

#

you migrate those BPs

#

and you might have an extra pawn, but you can get that code from the extra pawn and copy paste it into the new third person pawn that works.

#

I confused already completely- why 😦

#

can you talk to say me thestpes to fix this because I confused?

#

I made yesterday new project to migrate the new character BP

#

if your character is broken, i would recommend making a new third person project. then what you do is you look at your current project that has the extended code you like, and you will take those assets and select them in the content browser and migrate them to the new project (OLD -> NEW).

#

trying to migrate a working pawn to an existing project can work too, but you just have to make sure to select the right assets when you migrate from NEW -> OLD. if your existing project has a TON of code, that makes sense to do.

#

the choice is yours.

#

okay

#

thank you

#

I must to migrate the new not bug ThirdPErson BP to start from the beggining with the BP

#

i migrated it

#

yup

#

and now what?

#

I found new bug- when I start the game from the MenuMap the character doesn't move, when I start the game from the ThirdPersonExampleMap I can move-what?

#

wow

I understood the wrong

#

when I setting the gamemode and simillar things then I can't move-why?

#

hello guys- I found in the problem with mu movement character that when I setting the game mode ans simillar I can't move-why?
i understood one more thing- I created new map only for the menu when the game start and there when I click on the button Start Game it
transfer to the other map and there I can't move-why?
but if I stay only the menumap I can move but I must to transfer from one map to other for my game-what to do?

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

gamemode is set right, also in the level
player controller is set right
character is been set in gamemode (and spawns on Player Start)
auto possess player is set to 0, which is right

#

did you add any widgets?

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

what widgets?

#

i set DisplayHUD

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 8:38 AM

then no, if yes then the Widget might be taking the input instead of the character

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 8:43 AM

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 9:22 AM

#

looking through one of activision's oldest games, they didn't pack their files so you can look up the assets straight up

#

learned quite a few things on game design

#

one of those things is how they managed to optimize character interaction on the communicator with a percieved high detailed (for that time) by using a set of stills

#

the characters look 3d but in reality they are not

#

📎 unknown.png

#

i got a feeling they 3d modelled the chars and took screenshots of the most important keyframes

#

and swapped out the pictures rapidly to give an idea of the characters talkimh yo uoi

#

talknig to you*

#

this seems to be how they handled caustics as well back during the opening of the 2nd millenium

#

a set of transparent decals that were dynamically swapping tiny 128x128x photos and not actually being affected by lighting

frank escarp Jun 8, 2018, 9:29 AM

#

@warm mountain very, very common technique

#

games like Diablo also did that for their characters

#

their characters were sprites, and they had the animation backed into atlasses

#

to do that animation, they just recorded it from maya

#

you can do that with blender or any other software this days

#

its how Dead Cells works

Art Design Deep Dive: Using a 3D pipeline for 2D animation in Dea...

"To make up for the lack of bandwidth and still deliver on quality, we had to find a pipeline that could give us great looking pixel art, without having to hand draw each and every retake," writes Dead Cells artist Thomas Vasseur.

#

they have 3d models with 3d animations and render them into "pixel art" textures

a lot of the 80.lv articles are straight up ads

yes can try submit

if they interested may take it

#

will i am aiming to be Creative director

fierce tulip Jun 8, 2018, 10:28 AM

#

best way to show off ideas is to make templates, that way people can actually try them. if there is interesting stuff that might turn you into a gameplay designer. but just passing along ideas isnt done much if at all

grave nebula Jun 8, 2018, 10:29 AM

#

If you want to share idea, pass it on twitter, tagging every major dev group. If you are intending to turn that into profit... I'm afraid that won't work. World is full of ideas as it is.

#

It is particular skillset that is of value.

red orchid Jun 8, 2018, 10:30 AM

yes will try but scared some people might just steal the idea 😓

dont, nobody cares, have done it before, and ideas come a plenty.

this may not be looked well upon but

#

is there a way to take a game made in ue4

#

and rip it to see the code and blueprints?

#

figured i could use that to learn faster

#

i know there is a way to rip meshes but i don't think the same method applies?

tall pendant Jun 8, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

You're not seriously expecting an answer to that question?

#

@plush yew I'd go with intel. But i'm a long time intel user so my view is probably biased.

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 11:36 AM

#

Not quite, i understand it isn't exactly right

#

i used to take apart warcraft scripts to find out how people made custom spells

#

and mechanics for their mods

#

i found i just learned best observing and eventually making my own

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

You can reverse engineer into things like C but result is probably not readable

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 11:37 AM

#

but if it isn't possible i respect that

#

fair enough

#

its all good, i can look around as well and see if there are other artist that may have the solution and see if i can get leads from there.

#

main thing i need right now is a way to create a rain system and the materials are able to react to it and form puddles and dry afterwards

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 11:42 AM

#

There's a bunch of things involved in that

#

But most of the stuff would be driven from a render target or a parameter in a Material Parameter Collection

keen frigate Jun 8, 2018, 11:44 AM

#

Yo everyone

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 11:44 AM

#

🖖

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 11:45 AM

#

understandable tommy

#

i've seen the video on material parameter collections, i believe i'll need to do something along those lines with the materials reacting to it being the hard part

#

the weather part is fairly easy as i could start and spawn rain particles based on time

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 11:46 AM

#

Yeah tedious part would be adding the functionality to each material that needs it

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 11:46 AM

#

indeed

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 11:46 AM

#

Unless you have a good base material which you can instance

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 11:47 AM

#

i saw a video from youtube of someone pulling it off, he pointed to a substance tutorial

#

the problem with that tutorial though is that it requires to player to manually control it at runtime

#

i'm trying to figure out where i could come in and find a way for it to react based on the same time variable that triggers the rain weather

plush yew Jun 8, 2018, 11:49 AM

#

You can just make a parameter and accumulate into it when it's raining

#

Ideally in the 0-1 range to make it easier to do lerp operations in the material

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

ah fair enough

#

i'll play around with it a bit and see what i can do

My actor can walk fine on simsome floors. But it falls under some. Why is that?

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 11:51 AM

#

ideally what i'm hoping to achieve is similiar to something i did in warcraft

Where after a certain period of time the game will start to open an array and pick a random integer every minute and if the integer hits a certain range it will trigger rain at that particular timing and it doing so the materials change with it

#

and gotcha

#

i'll go there if i still keep failling to resolve this haha

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:00 PM

those floors you fall through

#

make sure you build collision

if you started modelling them as a plane chances is when you bring it to UE4

#

it didn't build collision

#

@supple horizon

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:03 PM

How can i build collision? My actor only falls through meshes

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:08 PM

#

the mesh that you keep falling from

#

double click it

#

and enter the editor

#

and build collision

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:10 PM

double click it

#

and this should appear

#

then you see convex decompos at the lower right hand corner

click apply

#

it should work

#

alternatively

on the top left hand corner

you can click collision

and add a collision type of your choice

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:13 PM

I used simple collision

change the collision complexity

look at it on the right

open up that menu i clicked

choose a collision type

#

and put your mesh inside it

#

or click Convex Decompos and click apply

#

there is clearly something with your mesh

#

not the engine

#

and most likely the collision wasn't built right

#

so you have to do it manually

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:30 PM

Do i have to do that with every single mesh?

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:30 PM

only the ones you fall through

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:30 PM

The mesh is just the default box

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 12:30 PM

You could also just use blocking volumes instead

make sure the collision box covers your box

Its a lot cheaper too then having i.e. 20 times a plane mesh with individual collision

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

you will need to check your collision settings in the bp

#

eeyups!

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

I'm sorry but what is a blocking volume

#

Also

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

A volume that blocks objects from going trough

#

Its invisible on its own in the game

Like invisible walls

Using the sphere collision pushes my character away and it spawns very high

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

Makes sense

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

why are you using sphere collision

#

for a box?

#

its a box

#

use box collision

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

Thanks. Box collision worked. But what about oddly shaped meshes? Can volume boxes that their shapes or something

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:36 PM

#

for odd shape ones

#

you can use multiple collision types to block it/ blocking volumes

#

or

@supple horizon do you use a modelling tool?

#

like Blender, Max or Maya?

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

Like blender?

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 12:38 PM

#

is that a yes?

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:39 PM

#

Yes

#

Though i didn't mess with it much

there ya go

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

So never creates meshes in ue4 again?

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

UE4 isnt meant for that

#

no game engine is 😛

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

Thanks

#

I thought setting collision for stuff is important for a game engine

#

Can i at least make collision automatic when creating a mesh?

warm mountain Jun 8, 2018, 12:42 PM

#

it will try to automatically make it

#

but not all the time

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:43 PM

#

But mine never does

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 12:43 PM

#

you can make it automatic by using the Collision complexity setting

#

BUT

#

big but there

#

it's usually more expensive in performance than making proper collision

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:44 PM

#

Performance as in increasing the resources the editor uses or even after compiling

whole quarry Jun 8, 2018, 12:44 PM

#

both

supple horizon Jun 8, 2018, 12:46 PM

Thanks

hey guys, am investigating splines in unreal , and was asking : does datasmith use unreal splines for rendering mesh at any time?

#

or is it converting splines to mesh?

How do i make my actor snap to the capsule
