here is a csv i was doing - its for notes in a synth

The widget reads that from the data table every time it populates a text option. So that takes care of all the stats.

The npc blueprint just needs to tell the widget which row from the data table to load into which slot. The npc blueprint doesn't have to worry about any of the stats or colors or anything.

Yo, I have to apply decals on my character, but I have no idea on how to attach the decal to bones. Is there any way to add sockets in real time? Or maybe there's another way to do this. Thanks :3

#

Or is there a way to texture paint in real time at a specific location? :3

AttachToComponent

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:21 AM

#

Yea, but I don't whant to create 15432 sockets

#

I whant to create one when it's needed then, delet it

#

In real time I mean

whole quarry Aug 2, 2018, 8:22 AM

#

you'll have to make the sockets, else you cant do it

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

I have to find another way to do this, I'll keep looking for it

#

Things are getting messy.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

@open lotus cant you texture an entire texture with decals and update the texes realtime?

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

That's what I whant to do, but I don't have much experience with textures :/

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

i have an idea

#

ok have the texture base be your pawn material right

#

use a image with alpha transparency, and make sure hte UVS are properly aligned

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

By texes, you mean that I'll be able to select a specific location, where I whant to blend with the other texture ?

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

yes

#

you have to use UV layout to set the exact point

#

for each decal

#

as an example if you had different circles for insignia like corporal and general etc. you would just set each one as a separate image

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

Vertex color?

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:32 AM

#

havent used that

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:32 AM

#

hey, if I am packaging/shipping a build and I need to include a directory which does not get cooked, does anyone have a link for how to do that

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 8:32 AM

#

I'm just brainstorming, I have no idea if that would work or not...

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:32 AM

#

I used vertex color for landscape painting

#

But IDK if I can do this IRT :3

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 8:33 AM

#

I use it a lot of environment pieces, never a character...

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:33 AM

#

Same

#

It should work, I was working on it

#

But Idk if I can paint in real time

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

I was able to update snowfall on a bench in real time...

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

So I'll maybe explore gothicserpent way :3

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

But the bench wasn't a skeletal mesh that was moving around...

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

But can you select the exact point where you whant to update the texture

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

I also never tried baking it...

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

I'll check this out

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 8:35 AM

#

The only thing I tried was through building up a float variable over time.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:35 AM

#

@dim arch yes - not like a full doc but it's a crucial step.

#

📎 unknown.png

#

i exclude tons of DIRs to save space in my steal build

#

if you want to include an external DIR, the best is to import the files IMO

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

does this work on mobile?

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

the pic i sent @dim arch? you are referring to?

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

yep

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

i havent yet tested on android - but i believe it should.

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

ok thanks

#

ugh

#

the directory must be inside /content/

#

which it isnt

#

it's in the project root

#

and the plugin references it from there :/

#

actually it references it from ../UI/

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:39 AM

#

i exclude my savegames folder from cooking @dim arch

#

if you do /Game/../../ it should go to parent dirs

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

ah I can go up a directory in the file reference

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

yea

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

it automatically points to projectdir/UI/

#

but if Ispecify ../content/UI/ it works

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

ah ok

#

cool

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

wtf

#

it broke the plug -_-

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

?

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

idk ill try working on it

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

wait i will tell you one thing about exclusion

#

if you exclude any dirs that any asset actively references

#

it will make an error

#

so you gotta move over any referenced uassets

#

that should help

dim arch Aug 2, 2018, 8:50 AM

#

ok cheers

#

when exporting a win64 with development configuration, i should have a console when pressing ~ right?

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:01 PM

#

Or whatever console key you set, yeah

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 1:01 PM

#


[/Script/Engine.InputSettings]
ConsoleKeys=Tilde

And a version i've compiled as development build has about the same input file and it works over there.```

#

you gotta set it in the DefaultInput.ini file i think

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:03 PM

#

Uh

#

YEah I have that myself[/Script/Engine.InputSettings] +ConsoleKeys=Tilde

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:03 PM

#

lemme check

#

was missing in my config file (created by twinstick template)

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

ah haha

#

it wont work in shipping as u know

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

read my original question 😛

#

development configuration

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

ik just clarifying that doesnt work in shipping in case you tried it for that

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:06 PM

#

i checked the ue4 docs wrt that

#

was also my first thought that it might only work in debug config

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 1:07 PM

#

yea

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:08 PM

did you set it in ProjectName\Config?

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:11 PM

#

sry for wall of text

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:12 PM

#

Then if you export it should work

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:13 PM

#

while the project is exporting: the original reason to see the console is jerky movement when playing exported build

#

doesn't matter if fullscreen, windowed or fullscreen windowed

#

runs buttersmooth in editor (PIE)

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

Check framerate

#

But yeah, console

#

You can also just launch with a right click on your project

#

Doesn't need to export

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

that's jerky as well

#

and console doesn't show up when pressing tilde

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:17 PM

#

Cool, check the framerate with stat unit, you'll know a bit more

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:17 PM

#

in editor it's 120fps stable

#

trying to get console to work now

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:18 PM

#

Console should work in editor too

#

BTW, "Tilde" might be language specific, if you're not on QWERTY

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:19 PM

#

i'am on qwerty

hearty sinew Aug 2, 2018, 1:19 PM

#

Anyone know where to get started if I wanted to eventually start making combat/fight scenes in UE?

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:19 PM

#

i have to use shift+tilde key and space to show it

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:19 PM

#

You can also set the console key directly from project settings to ensure it works

#

Engine / Input / Console

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:20 PM

#

show it == so that the tilde char shows up

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:21 PM

#

You should just need to click inside the PIE viewport, hit tilde, and have the console

#

Once it works there, it will work everywhere in development

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:22 PM

#

i bound it to f12 and it crashed the editor on press

#

fml 😄

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 1:23 PM

#

hopefully you saved it.. heh

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:23 PM

#

so, console works when playing "standalone"

#

shows 62 fps

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:24 PM

#

Cool, is it still jerky ?

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:24 PM

#

yes

#

i didn't do anything with vsync and even if vsync would be on, it should be at 59.999 right?

#

62 is just strange

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

In standalone, type "setres 1920x1080f", including f

#

To be in full screen

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

did disable bloom and auto exposure but AO is at default setting of on

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

And I think it's R.vsync 1 ? Not sure

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 1:26 PM

#

r.setres 1920x1080f

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:26 PM

#

No, just set res

#

Without the r.

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:27 PM

#

it keeps the 62 fps

#

and introduces tearing

#

so vsync is prolly off

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:27 PM

#

Yeah, you need to enable vsync now

#

r.vsync 1

#

Don't go disabling stuff or changing anything before you know what you're doing, like, AO or bloom is probably the last of your trouble, and if you hit 60fps, it's not a performance issue, but a problem with how you implemented your game. You should post a video or something so that we can see what's really off

#

Jerky movement can be many things, if it's in multiplayer it's likely to be why (bad implementation of character movement)

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:30 PM

#

when enabling vsync it's buttersmooth again

#

fps hovers around 60 as expected with my display

#

it's single player, literally just the twinstick shooter template to prototype some mechanics

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

How were you getting 120fps in editor ? Did you disable the framerate smoothing limit orsomething ?

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

that's the default fps for me since using ue4 the first time

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

The 62fps thing is old, like UE3 old - default high setting for framerate smoothing

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

i didn't copy over ini files or anything

#

i've been meaning to reduce the 120 fps in editor for a while now, but never got to do it

#

(it keeps the gpu spinning)

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:33 PM

#

To be fair I've no idea how to have a non-jerky output without usinc vsync

#

Some gamers disable it to have less input lag, but that's just crazyness for me 🤷

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

i thought in the worst case you'd have banding

#

but not fullscreen jerky movement

#

because if i'am not imagining things the jerky movement is full frames

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

Well if you don't have vsync, you're bound to have some video frames longer than some others, creating jerkyness

#

Motion blur can somewhat offset that

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

which is enabled by default

#

🤔

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

Vsync + stable performance is pretty much the only way to have constant frame time

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

also TAA probably doesn't help either

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

(Which is why consoles don't even have the option to remove vsync)

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:36 PM

#

i guess that's also because of tv heritage

#

nah nvm they had half frames

#

one last question: do you have vsync in editor enabled?

cloud cobalt Aug 2, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

Nah

#

Well, doubtful, in any case

cedar snow Aug 2, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

thinking whether it's coincidence that my editor runs at 2 the vsync fps or not

#

also thanks for helping 😃

Hey

#

Trace/Collision channels are still confusing me somewhat. Im doing a line trace on ECC_GameTraceChannel1 ('ProjectileTrace'). I have blueprint with a sphere collision set to block 'ProjectileTrace' and ignore everything else but the trace isnt hitting the sphere

#

Maybe wrong channel!

wary wave Aug 2, 2018, 2:25 PM

#

channel's fine - what you're describing sounds like it should work though

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

I was going to suggest showing pictures but it sounds like your using C++?

amber dune Aug 2, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

@grim ore yeah i am

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

still might post some of the basic code in here and someone might spot an issue but yeah it sounds right assuming you have physics turned on for the collision checks

amber dune Aug 2, 2018, 2:54 PM

#

cpp``` void UVAnomProjectileManager::FireProjectile(const UObject* WorldContextObject, TArray<TEnumAsByte<EObjectTypeQuery>> Objects, TArray<AActor*> &ActorsToIgnore, const FName ProjectileID, const FVector &StartPosition, const FVector &Direction)

#

ActorsToIgnore is just an array with the character in it

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

have you tried to basics to eliminate the trace channel as the issue? setting it to trace against all and seeing it if can hit other items just to verify the code is not at fault

amber dune Aug 2, 2018, 2:57 PM

#

yes

#

i had it set to trace by object earlier using the passed Objects array

#

and it was hitting everything

Hey guys, does anyone here used the Perception Neuron Motion Capture Suit? Having trouble trying to export the animations with root motion from the Axis Neuron program to blender and then to Unreal Engine. UE4 reads the root motion from the root bone, while the suit exports the root motion into the hip bone. Was wondering if someone was able to import the animations somehow with root motion to UE4

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

@amber dune when it was set to that was it hitting your BP with that sphere collision?

amber dune Aug 2, 2018, 3:00 PM

#

Yeah

#

it was hitting everything

#

im just setting the channel to visibility now to double check

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 3:01 PM

#

yeah definitely sounds like its the channel then 😦 I wish I knew more about C++ but it looks good assuming thats the channel

amber dune Aug 2, 2018, 3:02 PM

#

Love your youtube videos btw:)

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 3:02 PM

I mean the only thing I can think of is your using the arc based projectile check but that really shouldnt matter if its what you want

hmm wait, now its not hitting on the visibility channel

I'm trying to do thins kind of effet, I can now paint on my mesh at runtime but only by painting on the plane. I don't know how I could link a world position on the mannequin, with the correct location on the plane, in order to paint at this spot. Thanks....

@open lotus You accidentally the youtube link, woops

#

But in any case if you're curious about the contents of that video then you can see the shader trickery explained here https://shaderbits.com/blog/uv-dilation and a performant implementation here https://www.tomlooman.com/rendering-wounds-on-characters/

open lotus Aug 2, 2018, 5:34 PM

Allready saw the second one and can't figure out how he managed to break the mesh textures

#

Thanks a lot ❤ He's giving a code for a dilator! I know have to learn how to use it :/

@open lotus Hello again

#

Im importing different fbx's

#

but none of them have the animation im so confused

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:14 PM

#

any idea if there's gonna be a back to school sale of any type or should I just wait for black friday/cyber monday before I buy the entire marketplace?

frail beacon Aug 2, 2018, 6:16 PM

#

How good will an RX 580 8gb run ue4 with a lot of foliage?

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

try opening the kite demo and find out for yourself. Depends on type of foliage I guess..

frail beacon Aug 2, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

Well I'd have to buy the card first xD

#

My current r9 270x can't handle it so I am looking to upgrade

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:18 PM

#

hold on a sec I'll look into it for you

frail beacon Aug 2, 2018, 6:19 PM

#

Also, is the editor more or less demanding then my actual game will be?

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

More unless you are running in your packaged mode but even that depends as you might be running in a window in editor mode so possibly less due to resolution. so both?

frail beacon Aug 2, 2018, 6:21 PM

#

So if my game laggs in the editor I should be worried?

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 6:22 PM

#

if you are running in a smaller window then probably

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:22 PM

#

oh so yeah I was thinking the rx 580 was an old generation graphics. Any of the mid/higher range current graphics cards are going to run small projects just fine imo

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 6:22 PM

#

assuming you are targetting like 1080 for the user and your running in a smaller window that is 1/2 the size in the editor

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

@grim ore You hear anything about a back to school sale?

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

There are always sales and rebates. Most of the time the back to sale stuff is on complete units

#

none of my deals lately that I have seen have really been anything special except on laptops

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

I was talking about marketplace assets 😃

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

oh..

#

man they don't tell anyone, not even the marketplace devs half the time lol

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:24 PM

#

I'm holding until the end of the month for the computer upgrade. Nvidia gonna release the 1180 announcement with build in ray tracing

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 6:25 PM

#

so it's built in, then engines/devs have to support it, then games have to support it... soooooooo 3 years till it's used?

tall pendant Aug 2, 2018, 6:26 PM

#

i doubt you can run any raytracing stuff with just one card tho

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:26 PM

#

or so the rumor mill is saying. 1080s are dropping in price very quickly. Oversupply from the bitmining recession. There is talk of the 1180 being delayed just to unload all the 10x series cards first because they will be backlogged and sales are dropping sharply on the 10 series

tall pendant Aug 2, 2018, 6:26 PM

#

the demos epic showed ran on 4 tesla v100's at 24 fps

#

😄

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

Basically I'm just waiting to see if the 11 series is actually announced so I can get 1080 for cheaper

hot drum Aug 2, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

how would you make it so that in matinee the character moves from It's current position to the position you want

#

instead of 1 position to the next

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

Wouldn't you do that in the Character controller?

#

Or am I wrong for assuming we are talking about walking from one place to another...

hot drum Aug 2, 2018, 6:41 PM

#

nah

#

I need an animated sequence

#

one that I can play and reverse

#

but instead of needing to be at a specific location for it to trigger

#

It accepts any location from the character

steady hinge Aug 2, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

You need an animated sequence, but you also need a trigger to play said matinee...

I'm not really sure, I haven't done much matinee in the past 5 years. I would look into trying to trigger the matinee from an outside blueprint, but that might be totally wrong... I often am.

grim ore Aug 2, 2018, 6:55 PM

#

I know in 4.19 you can set up animations in sequencer to be relative to another point at runtime so you can run a premade sequence anywhere you want. There is an example of this in the action RPG project but i dont know if thisis what you want

now I just gotta wait 4 months to buy everything I want from the marketplace. My shopping cart is maxed at 50 items!

Hey guys, I don't know where else to put that question..

#

Is anyone of you experienced with the legal terms of multi-tenancy?

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

I know it's not possible. But a 24/7, Q/A unreal Twitch stream would be awesome.

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 7:13 PM

#

holy hell.. it would have to be like a mini game jam

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 7:14 PM

#

I think it would help a ton of starting out developers. Also give a place for some of us vets to give advice.

noble barn Aug 2, 2018, 7:14 PM

#

We have bought a multi-tenant IBM Watson STT license, do we need to route all users access to that service through our Servers, or can we hand out tokens to all users, that then connect directly to the service?

dire storm Aug 2, 2018, 7:25 PM

#

ughh why are there so many gtx 1070 ti cards that are more expensive then the 1080 base models... its so confusing and I hate looking up performance charts vs every other card nonstop

#

half of the 1070 ti cards are like 40/50 dollars more expensive then the 1080 models even though the 1080s have greater benchmarks from what I've found. Why you do this nvidia, why???

Dual 1070's or an overclocked 1070 is more cost effective than a single 1080.

cyan merlin Aug 2, 2018, 7:36 PM

Never dual anything unless its for something specific

SLI is pointless

Anyone know what the deal is with all the unsuccessful login attempts on my Epic account?

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 7:42 PM

#

I saw a lot of crypto mining back in 2017. Those were usually the reasons people got 1060's, 1070's vs the 1080's. The 1080s are good! But they cost a lot vs performance.

#

Unreal had a break in attempt. I hope you changed your passwords recently. I got an email warning me to do so a few weeks ago.

ebon spade Aug 2, 2018, 7:44 PM

#

Well they aren't havning any luck so I may leave it for now, have the 2 factored authentication enabled. What would they even want with my account though, nothing really of value

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 7:46 PM

#

I had a developer run into the same issue last night on my twitter. Not sure if he got hacked, but he had trouble logging in. 2FA is not secure. If it runs through your cell phone, it's never secure.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:01 PM

#

@high stone i recently had to enable that because i was repeatedly getting login attempts to my unreal acct

#

was bad haha

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:02 PM

#

There was a paper released on all the types of security logins. It's was very disconcerting. With that said, I do think we are getting a better idea of the direction it needs to go into. Biometrics being one of the worst, and one of the best is no back doors.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

when you say developer you mean in a company you work with?

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

No, another dev I know.

#

He mentioned it on his twitter.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:03 PM

#

ah

#

i am lucky that my sys has never been compromised 😃 dont know what i'd do

#

i have so many years of stuff on here

#

and its too big to cloud backup

#

i just have one main drive and one backup raid drive

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

We have all been hacked at some point. Equifax, EA, Sony. If you ever filled out a form it's been accessed by someone who shouldn't have access.

#

Ugh, EA put my job app data into their consumer database. So hackers got my real name, address, thanks EA.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

i remember in the old days i downloaded some image or attachment and some guy literally got into my pc and was typing messages to me lol

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

BTW they still didn't delete my info after that!

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:06 PM

#

that was a guy i knew though, and then i didn't have any real IP on my comp 😃

#

so i just reformatted

#

i was just mad about it for a day basically, and blocked the guy lol

#

surprised to hear about EA db

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

Really? This is EA we're talking about.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

yeah

#

i tend to go with more independent companies now since i am a solo dev

#

i dont really like any of the bigger ones anymore i suppose

#

since i appreciate how much time it takes

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

Sony was awesome. When my data got hacked I got Everquest 1-2 free for months, plus other bonuses.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

lol really

#

wow

#

thats nice

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

3 things I recommend you do. Never put in your SS#, never give out your middle name, if possible on any forms for (non government, employment) websites put in the wrong birth date. That stuff will shield you from hackers greatly.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:15 PM

#

i usually use like a separate email address for sites that are third party

#

i rarely have to enter that stuff in though, except for like moving or something lol

#

or government stuff, like drivers license stuff

#

in the unreal launcher did you use your real info? 😛

#

mb on epic games main site, not launcher

#

i think thats' where you first enter it right? i forgot lol

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

Yeah, that's a good strategy. Most of the times I got hacked, it was from a database break in. I don't think my password was ever compromised.

#

I just drive to the DMV. I never fill out government forms online. Mostly because Firefox won't load the page lol.

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

lol

high stone Aug 2, 2018, 8:20 PM

#

I think security is getting better. The problem is people are becoming more complacent. Because a lot of stuff is insured.

velvet mango Aug 2, 2018, 8:21 PM

Guys hey <3 im really sorry to interrupt you but i need some help with something can you guys check it and let me know what your thoughts are please?

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

@velvet mango what is it?

velvet mango Aug 2, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

Well okay so i was working on a project i wanted to make some changes so i copied it and pasted ut to work on the copy but accudentally deleted the first one then when i opened the second one alot of things were missing heres how it looked on the first one

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

if you copied the project folder itself it should be the same (the one with teh .uproject file and your main folders for your game)

#

if you used the epic interface to create a copy for a new version, it may have changed something if the versions are too far apart

#

apart from that u can check ur recycle bin for the first folder maybe

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 8:31 PM

#

so the dark lighting got removed?

#

the textures and stuff are still there?

#

i typed some stuff before you sent pics - that may help. keep in mind if you copy a project .uproject folder it always retains everything. so there shouldn't be any issue if you copied the entire root project directory.

velvet mango Aug 2, 2018, 8:33 PM

Yes but the quality of the textures dropped alot

Just incase someone got similar emails and is about to buy... guys ue4 is free and will stay free. I would trust Tim and the epic evangelist who make the best after parties in the world. 👀

#

yep long live tim sweeney 😃

#

I get emails from apple all the time, despite the fact i hate their product soo much

#

lol cant you unsub from each one?

#

No they keep offering these new $99 earpods

#

And bags and what not

#

Spam is just spam

#

😂

#

Sorry $200 here

#

Prices go up suddenly on a $0.5 product

#

lol

#

well all i can say is i just updated to 4.20.1 and it's free and im glad i did that 😛

#

more stable than 4.20

#

But they offer premium subscription for 300 comon man

#

also noticed a reduction in netlag so excited about that

#

LOL maybe next time 😛 lol

#

for $150? can you lower the price? lol

#

i am a good negotiator 😛

#

Probably u can negotiate down to a cent as you get notihing

#

lol

#

i loaned a friend $500 and she promised to pay me back and hasn't and i'm too nice to even ask for it

pallid compass Aug 2, 2018, 9:08 PM

u may have got rekt sir

plush yew Aug 2, 2018, 9:08 PM

so yea.

#

lol i give gifts to people sometimes

#

helps how i feel

#

but she kept saying she woudl pay me back

#

so i was like.. hmm.. lol

#

There was only one person who owe me $200 worth poker set hell didnt end well

#

lol

#

For him

#

Next day he was begging to give it back yay

#

And i was a kid xd

#

Anyways my friend is strugling with the ark modding took

#

He wants to build a plugin and he complains that its crashing

#

a code plugin thing?

#

Anyone can give an up to date tutorial on modding in ark?

#

Blueprint only

#

Thought code plugins are not allowed on the client side 🤐

#

Like getting a mod running in the game because its just crashing an empty mod

Hi all, just wanted to share this blog post we released: https://improbable.io/games/blog/spatialos-unreal-gdk-pre-alpha

The SpatialOS Unreal GDK Pre-Alpha: Go Beyond Unreal

The SpatialOS Unreal GDK is in pre-alpha. This allows developers to combine multiple Unreal servers in one world whilst using Unreal Engine’s networking API.

#

SpatialOS is a platform to create distributed games. The Unreal GDK is a new plugin we've released for Unreal which allows you to integrate with SpatialOS in a native fashion (keep using replicated properties and RPCs). Thought some of you might find it interesting

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:22 PM

#

Hmm. Damn still Alpha.

#

Wait. Pre-alpha. Hm, GDK isn't SDK? Or just play in abbreviations?

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:23 PM

#

GDK stands for Game Development Kit. We have an Unreal SDK which we wanted to distinguish it from

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:23 PM

#

Also. Costs... Where are the real-world examples?

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:24 PM

#

Unfortunately it's still in pre-alpha since it's early days but much of the single server support is there

#

By costs do you mean how much does it cost to use? It's completely free. You can see our source on GitHub https://github.com/spatialos/UnrealGDK

Contribute to UnrealGDK development by creating an account on GitHub.

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:25 PM

#

So, SDK is basically deprecated

dark depot Aug 2, 2018, 10:25 PM

#

so i know you guys already have some stuff for ue4 are you guys working on a way to move people from the older stuff to this

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:25 PM

#

According to that post

dark depot Aug 2, 2018, 10:25 PM

#

^

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

So everyone who was using the SDK in UE4 was/is screwed?

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

So at the moment, the GDK has all of our old SDK stuff in it as well. So you would be able to use them alongside each other

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

How do we know that won't happen with this GDK now?

#

Hmmm. That's not what I just read.

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

No not everyone is screwed. You can still use the SDK but we are planning on slowly phasing it out.

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:26 PM

#

From your own post though.

#

So... Slowly phasing it out..means screwed to many developers...

#

Just an FYI

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:27 PM

#

Yes it's a replacement as in, anyone who wants to develop with SpatialOS and Unreal should use the GDK

#

but if you are using the SDK currently, you can try to start migrating over.

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:28 PM

#

Again. What guarantees will there be that you don't have a XDK that trumps the SDK and GDK because it just didn't work?

#

Essentially deprecating and replacing the previous. And slowly...but surely screwing over anyone that jumps on this new platform.

#

And.. "try to start migrating over"????

#

Does that mean that there's no guarantee that it will work on GDK?

#

Is there a document or something to help out developers on SDK to convert to GDK?

#

And by costs...I mean...once you are using SpatialOS, how much will it cost for the developers to launch

#

Real world examples if possible would be great. The GDK is free. Great. But how much is it going to really costs devs to launch a SpatialOS game using some games that have already launched as examples.

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:34 PM

#

@silk torrent Ordinarily if we wanted to change from a game made in UE4 networking to SpatialOS it would have been a ton of work, basically reworking everything, with the GDK would you say it requires reworking or some minor or major adjustments? What if someone buys up SpatialOS and we don't like the outcome, how much work would be involved in moving back to UE4 networking?

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:34 PM

#

Regarding the document to transition, at the moment no. The biggest issue with the SDK was that it made you throw out all of Unreal's native networking, which is one of the best parts of Unreal. This made the SDK not so attractive to most developers and therefore the userbase is not as big as we might have hoped. We are aware of users who currently have projects in progress and are helping them.

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:34 PM

#

That is why we opted to roll our own solution, but if we can use Spatial instead we will

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:35 PM

#

You can find out more about our costs here: https://improbable.io/games/pricing at the moment it's on a case by case basis (I think, I'm not that familiar with this so don't quote me)

SpatialOS - Our Pricing Explained

If you want to understand more about our pricing, here’s what you need to know. Remember, SpatialOS is free to try.

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:35 PM

#

We have a game in progress that actually requires a spatial-like solution

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:36 PM

#

@mint sequoia It's actually very very easy to move back to UE4 networking. The GDK allows you to use replicated properties and RPCs just like you would in normal Unreal

#

If you were to use the GDK right this second, there is a command line flag that can switch you between SpatialOS networking and Unreal networking, which is a super useful tool while porting a game.

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:36 PM

#

I mean. I was super interested before, awhile back, when the first SDK for UE4 was released. Then saw what you all did and backed off... Was a disaster.

#

Glad you were able to figure it out and rework it to incorporate more if UE4's networking logic.

#

To make it more accessible

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:37 PM

#

So long as our game isn't dependant on spatial OS, it's a viable option

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:37 PM

#

Still. The pricing...is and always WILL be the issue with you all

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:38 PM

#

@safe rose I can understand the sentiment of backing off. We're hoping that developers see the GDK now are willing to give SpatialOS another go

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:38 PM

#

Almost impossible (pun) to get a good answer, or quote for any real world examples. Which is sort of scary for any development team.

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:38 PM

#

We'll try it, but if it costs too much we'll roll our own solution as we were already planning to

next badger Aug 2, 2018, 10:39 PM

#

for every Indy the pricing will be an issue

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:39 PM

#

@mint sequoia I suggest looking into the GDK starter project and trying it out. You'll get a sense of what's possible with the GDK right now. The workflow at the moment is a bit wonky due to being pre-alpha but we're working on rapidly improving it.

worn granite Aug 2, 2018, 10:39 PM

#

Oh, that was SO CLOSE to being a good pun victor

#

Just slightly off

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:39 PM

#

Might wait until alpha (at least)

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:39 PM

#

@silk torrent seems you may be heading in the right direction but already see some issues... But without diving in, won't totally brush it off. Maybe good for a gamejam.

I missed it. Oh that's good.

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:40 PM

#

I can understand the issue with our pricing. I can definitely pass this feedback along, you guys aren't the only ones not happy about the process for it

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:40 PM

#

It's better to be upfront

silk torrent Aug 2, 2018, 10:41 PM

#

@mint sequoia sounds good. I would still poke around the repo and see what it looks like

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:41 PM

#

@silk torrent please do. You won't get anyone to really bite unless you are upfront about your pricing.

#

There's thousands on here that can only dream about doing x/y type game and with SpatialOS it may be much easier to become a reality. But it's all about those costs.

mint sequoia Aug 2, 2018, 10:42 PM

#

Well, we'd bite, but there are exceedingly few people with our requirements

I know all that backer investment money needs to be made back.

#

Jeez...NetEase

#

More China money

#

It will be interesting to see what happens. If they can't get developers to make games on it...which brings them money. Shareholders/investors won't be happy.

#

Most AAA studios are going to be rolling their own solutions. They have the devpower

#

So SpatialOS should be targetting the Indie/III market.

We've gotten the GDK running on a ps4 and xbox which were connected to the same deployment 😃 though we're still working on proper console support

Ah okay. Hm

But running in on all platforms is not the same as cross-platform

#

Well maybe it does. But I mean, can we play with various platforms barring console restrictions

Basically. Sony hates everyone else but PC

You guys thought about being more like, say, PCPartPicker in terms of pricing? I get you don't wanna pin down a monthly cost bracket for the generic user... but surely you know how much you'll charge per GB per HR for any given data center, and how that would flow with larger quantities. Can't you have that information displayed?

safe rose Aug 2, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

@silk torrent right but can pc players play with Xbox/switch/mobile players like Fortnite

#

Since there's no restrictions there.

I don't want to comment too much about pricing since I'm just not the person that handles that but I can say if you try reaching out we can provide you with pricing examples

and then try re-opening the project and copying it to the newest version

well it sounds like it might be an engine issue possibly, might need to update to 4.19.2 or re-install the engine.

i installed the SIXTEEN GIGS of debug symbols just now

#

so i finally ot a crash report that says something

#

holy fuckign shit what a ride

#

i tried opening a project after i had installed the debug symbol pack, all sixteen gigs of it

#

instead of giving me a crash report, it BSODed me

#

i booted back up, started ue4 again

#

this time, i had no projects in the list

#

luckily it worked by opening the file itself in explorer, and this time it gave me a proper crash report

a .bin file was causing the whole fuckup

removed that and now it works, although my entire UI has been reset to default :)))

It’s a precaution, but there are plenty of things which could cause problems if the contents of an email was published (HR matters, legal discussions, agreements between business which are not yet ready to be released, and early release can jeopardise a product).

I know I’ve received had a lot of emails which, if I published them, would lead to a loss of a job or worse. I often get emails incorrectly sent to me (intended to be sent to someone with a similar address) which contain sensitive data. Making that public would cause problems for someone.

@plush yew Legally-binding confidentiality agreements are almost always covered in contracts. The disclaimers you see in emails are used for a variety of precautionary reasons, but I think they are most commonly written for someone who receives the message in error, not the intended recipient.

As philmeup touched on, sending confidential information to the wrong person could be catastrophic.

Probably. Generally a bad idea to run anything that pushes a system hard when you have no fans. Macs tend to have a lot of heat related damage from this, between video editing and other multimedia work.

UE4 is a C++ engine with a C++ gameplay layer with C++ user code and Blueprints on top that call C++ and can be compiled as C++

Spoiler : C++ crashes at the first mistake

The UE-specific C++ concepts in the engine are actually quite straightforward imho. Introspection for Blueprint interface, and garbage collection. The lower levels of the engine don't even use these.

I rather 100 bucks for your next game

but lets face it, UE is pretty big and bound to have bugs

#

the thing is, they should spend some time fixing it instead of adding new esoteric features

#

I'd rather have 6 months without any new update and they fix the bugs instead, but that wont make them any money

#

so they churn out stuff to compete with the other engines just so that their feature list grows

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 6:52 AM

Sure, but that's kind of beside the point here until we know we're talking about engine bugs

when the editor crashes its an engine bug

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 6:52 AM

#

No

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:53 AM

even if you do something that leads to the bug the engine should capture it and warn you

No, it can't

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:53 AM

yes it can

Epic games are doing a great job, every update has many bug fixes too. With such a large product, problems are bound to be there, always.

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

because on the editor level we're not dealing with raw pointers anymore so there is no reason that anything should crash

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

Of course you are

#

Your code is running

#

And everything is in C++

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

ok if you have a C++ project

#

but if yuo're dealing with BP only there is no reason the editor should crash and if it crashes it's Epics fault

#

It's not that clear cut

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:54 AM

sure it is

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 6:55 AM

#

It's not, because you're still working with C++ underneath, and there is only so much you can do to prevent crashes.

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:55 AM

#

or would you assume that it's your fault that your car accelerates instead of break when you hit the break pedal in an unusual way?

#

LOL yea thats why I think they should have made the whole engine in Ada in the first place 😛

C++ is the real problem with Unreal, I think we can all agree on that

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:56 AM

why?

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 6:57 AM

Because it's kind of the most robust language out there, for all its flaws

#

I definitely do not want another Unrealscript and I don't know any Unrealscript user who does

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:58 AM

#

C++ is an extension of C which, if you look into the literature of the 70s you will find was slandered by it's contemporaries as a "PDP 8 Macro Assembler"

Well, C sure represents about 5% of C++

#

If you want to call that an extension

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 6:59 AM

#

yewa I do

#

because the crap that is C still exists and works

#

and causes crashes

C is anything but crap

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 7:00 AM

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 7:00 AM

#

And the reason you can crash in either language is the same reason you can get performance

#

Or perfect portability

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 7:01 AM

#

if you can access memory in a raw way and cause crashes, that's a crap language. This is the 21st century and we can spend some time on safe references instead of pointers

#

Let me put it this way

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 7:01 AM

#

if you can access memory in a raw way and cause crashes, that's a low-level language that you can use for maximum performance

#

Fixed that for you

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 7:01 AM

#

I spend a year on an Ada project. Had to read Barne's book, learn the language and write the program. I had a bunch of logical errors in the beginning but I didnt have one crash

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 7:01 AM

#

Now you want safe references - C++ has them

whole quarry Aug 3, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

is this discussion really about that a crash is always the fault of Epic? 😕

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

You want smart pointers - C++ has them

#

You want garbage collection - UE4 implements it

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

yea but if a 3rd party product like UE doesn't use them, then booom

#

it's like having gun lying around in a household with a 3 year old. Just don't touch it, little bobby!

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 7:02 AM

#

Of course UE uses them - just not 100% of the time because it's not the best course of action

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 7:03 AM

#

yea it's all moot anyway, UE is written in C++ and nothing will change that, and from what others say who dove into the depth of the engine, it's a mess under the hood

#

so the remedy is for Epic to spend resources on fixing the bugs instead of introducing new ones

#

but that aint gonna happen bc they must make money with fortnite

Literally something that benefits all UE4 users, allowing Epic to fund more grants and give back more to marketplace creators

#

Hire more staff to build engine features

subtle ibex Aug 3, 2018, 7:09 AM

#

Here is my advice for anybody who actually uses UE for a project instead of just dabbling with it: Stick with the version that works, then wait until they release the last hotpatch and start working on the new version, then check the forum for people still having problem with the last hotfix. If not, then try to update, otehrwise stick with the old. I'm still on 4.18 and I'm quite happy

Hi, can anynbody help me how to use .mat material file with unreal engine ?

grim sinew Aug 3, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

You don't, next question

#

Nah seriously though, you need to do it from scratch when importing textures for Unreal. There is no way to directly import materials often times since it has a different shader than whatever you're using

#

Just like how you can't use a mental ray material in vray

mint vine Aug 3, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

Thanks there is no hack for this to work

cloud cobalt Aug 3, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

Materials are not portable across engines

#

At least not automatically

grim sinew Aug 3, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

Whatever that .mat material is expecting, I can almost promise you metal/rough isn't it.

#

You can't link up to inputs that don't exist, using a different shader language

mint vine Aug 3, 2018, 8:44 AM

#

Thanks for your help. I am still beginner to unreal and would you also help me in this. I am getting a log error upon each saving

@misty falcon I would imagine you just drag the audio into the world at the location you want it to play from and add it to sequencer- it should play relative to the camera position

by default as the window gets wider it crops the top and bottom

I mean even Epic changed it for fortnite

Yes, UE4 uses vertical aspect ratio

Anyone know what epic's reasoning for that it? just backwards compat?

wary wave Aug 3, 2018, 11:59 AM

#

possibly a hangover from older versions of the engine

default never got changed to avoid breaking existing projects, perhaps

cursive dirge Aug 3, 2018, 12:02 PM

adding extra option for it wouldn't break it backwards tho

how to make an actor to spin/rotate? "Add torque" doesn't seem to work.

grim ore Aug 3, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

if you want to just rotate it without using physics you would Add Rotation or Set Rotation

frail sun Aug 3, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

Is there any way to see the ui real time without pie?

#

Like the umg widgets you're designing

unreal spoke Aug 3, 2018, 2:58 PM

#

@grim ore but that would do a single rotation, right? The actor would keep rotating, I think

grim ore Aug 3, 2018, 2:59 PM

#

that would be setting it once correct, are you trying to get it to rotate over time? you can use something like a timeline or a tick to do that. Alternately there is a rotating movement component if you just need something to rotate all the time. Other than that if you want it to work with physics then yeah you need to use physics

#

@frail sun there is no real time preview of UMG with the exception of the editor itself. You can take advantage of the Pre Construct node if you need data to be shown at design time and feed in data that way.

If you make assets yourself then you can sell them.

If everything in your game is yours or you have legal rights to use it, then you can sell your game.

That's so weird

sullen wraith Aug 4, 2018, 10:24 AM

anyone got a good idea on implementing respawn in multiplayer after deleting the character

grim sinew Aug 4, 2018, 10:24 AM

#

Delete the pawn, but run the respawn code on the player controller, triggered from the gamemode

sullen wraith Aug 4, 2018, 10:28 AM

is player contoller just the player blueprint?

or seperate

trying to copy tutorial online, how can i repossess the player though

#

📎 sa4.png

grim sinew Aug 4, 2018, 10:46 AM

#

On the player controller there's a specific possess command

#

📎 s2a.png

#

i did this, while my player is removed before this command

#

it doesn't reposses

#

📎 lols.png

#

is it because im deleting the actor?

grim sinew Aug 4, 2018, 11:05 AM

#

The player can't run any code if the player doesn't exist

#

That's why I've been specific about saying player controller every single time

sullen wraith Aug 4, 2018, 11:06 AM

#

so am i currently in the player controller? im confused as to how to implement what you're speaking about

grim sinew Aug 4, 2018, 11:07 AM

#

Unless you named your player controller the player character, no you are not

#

They are not the same thing.

#

The player controller owns the player character.

#

You're likely not using a custom player controller yet, you're probably using the default one

#

Make one, and put the respawn code on it

sullen wraith Aug 4, 2018, 11:14 AM

so ho wcan i get the character from the player controller?

#

in player controller

#

📎 las.png

#

so how can I run the server_respawn event

#

when the character dies?

#

📎 lad.png

#

this one is in the character, it can't find the playercontroller event

grim sinew Aug 4, 2018, 11:18 AM

#

"Get controlled pawn" or something to get the character

#

and you can just run an event on the controller when it dies and let that handle all the logic

sullen wraith Aug 4, 2018, 11:22 AM

#

so would I need to do a

#

ontick

#

get controlled pawn

#

if health <= 0

#

then destroy

#

wait

#

then respawn?

grim sinew Aug 4, 2018, 11:24 AM

No.
