i'm experiencing quite a large caveat in an open world with volumetric lightmaps.
i can traverse the whole world in a vehicle, that goes black if i go outside the calculated importance volume/samples.. not an ideal outcome at all. can't it be that the engine does an average brightness sample of a 10% of all the volumetric space cloud and just sets any dynamic meshes outside of the cloud to that?
it's that vs encapsulate my entire world with the importance volume, its crashy and hours to calculate, unoptimal because i still have a particular area of focus on the map that needs the light concentration

weird issue. I have ue4 4.20.2 installed and I've been using it since it came out. I went to go into the plugin directory for it today and come to find it isn't installed in the folder it's supposed to be in? it's not in program files/EpicGames

Gonna post this again as my question is getting a little buried. . Is it possible to generate a random number within a range within the material editor?
I want to feed it to the sine node after multiplying the random number with time
grim ore
You could technically sample a value based on time from in the material but actual random number is not doable as far as I know. If you want a real random number you would generate one somewhere else and feed it into a material parameter collection if you want the material to sample it or generate your number then feed it to the material instance
wary wave
I'm also not sure it's going to do what you want it to do anyway?
why multiply a random number with time?
radiant fable
i've read most people take a small noise map and animate the uvs to output grayscale values that give the effect of randomness

Random.usf has a bulk of pseudorandoms for gpu.

@whole quarry
static viper
then you remove all the rest ones
static viper
o.o thats animal abuse!!!!
whole quarry
owls arent animals, cant animal abuse by slapping owls ๐
fierce tulip
@plush yew yes, so the edges of the texture are infinite, aka it wont tile the clouds.
assuming you want it panned, just make a cutout of the cloud, offset pivot and rotate the thing
static viper
i am clearly a very animal
whole quarry
a very animal?
fierce tulip
that depends on your uv map :p
plush yew
oh yeah true
fierce tulip
again though, assuming you want it to move along the skybox
id use a mesh that rotates instead of an image panning along the mesh
fierce tulip
can do that in the shader as well
plush yew
@fierce tulip
teal tulip
the hell
plush yew
any idea why i cant make my panner more than 0.001 or it will dissapear

you dont need to component mask from a texture sample, and just take the green or blue (or red) pin.
static viper
clamp it
plush yew
Is there a way to use a Class Variable for a Cast To Node?
fierce tulip
also you are adding and multiplying god knows what to the uv's, cant say what you are doing there that causes it

I don't get that UV thing really, cause get things from a texture for the UV ?

all I can say is that its a mess hehe

grave nebula
@static viper How do you determine weirdness, Owl ? With a weirdometer ?
broken shadow
The graph does seems kinda sprawling
static viper
with a material graph ofc.
fierce tulip
fierce tulip
instead of adding those two noise textures you need to append them
no need for two panners per noise texture
(in theory dont even need two noise textures)
static viper
What on earth!!!
fierce tulip
need to clamp the gradient mask before it gets to whatever is multiplied by the noise
static viper
that looks wonderful!
fierce tulip
add the noise strength multiplier before you add it to whatever that top right add is connected to
static viper
so you are waiting for the state to come true
you can do that in server code
but in sp code you should know

@fierce tulip this is the whole thing
fierce tulip
by using a multiply node, and adding a number to multiply with
@plush yew whats the panner value?
also, dont clamp panning stuff
also nice to see you did do shit with my suggestions :p
plush yew
i wanna get this working then im gonna work on that noise suggestion cause that seems alot cleaner
so dont clamp the panner
idle thunder
why ue is soo hard to take a grip with it ๐ฆ

you dont need to add that panning stuff, you can hook the multiply from that tex sample right into the panner coordinate
again, append those two noises, not adding them

How do small studios or individual developers test and keep their game updated with a handful of testers who may be scattered around the world?

basically any method to distribute the file works
you can put it on dropbox, your own website, make a really complex patching system, dump it on steam, ...
boreal crown
Well I figured having to frequently updatie your game through dropbox might be slow and inconvenient
manic pawn
it is inconvenient yes
but depending on who the testers are they will put up with a daily manual download
you could also make a crappy tool to automate that download in like 1 day

Yeah, but then i'd have to host it on a personal device on my home network.
Unless you mean have it look at some file hosting site for a newer version,, i guess i could do that.

Hello again.

More like, generally, scaling images is not remotely easy and never has the same quality
Properly scaling an image down is intensive
static viper
depends on what you are doing
umg?
2d?
papercraft?
i mean ue4 is able todo 2d stuff
sullen wraith
can you make text auto resize when it's to big for the box.
whole quarry
@sullen wraith what text and what box?
sullen wraith
text in a verticle box, if i set the text to be something very long it just leaves the HUD and keps going down
sullen wraith
yeah that's the problem, it just keeps going to a new line
i want text to resize to fit the current box
sullen wraith
where is that, im looking in its setting and cant find it
whole quarry
click on the verticle box
in the details panel, upper side
in some cases its unavailable
dawn bloom
are there any known games made with paper 2d
whole quarry
best solution is to make sure texts wont get longer than wanted

hey guys, not sure if this is the right channel to ask for help but i need to learn how to use unreal 4 for my senior project. does anyone know of a tutorial that would help me learn how to use the engine to livestream 360 degree stereo panoramic video to mobile VR hardware ? The tutorial or even book doesn not need to be free, i have seen some udemy courses for Unreal but am not sure which one would be very relevant to what im looking for. I have found a bunch of tutorials on the official unreal site that im going to work through but if someone knows exactly what im looking for it would help tremendously and i would greatly appreciate it.

@remote roost that is basically the problem the 4K textures

tawdry storm
๐คฆ
sullen wraith
hey im new ๐ give me 5
tawdry storm
haha it's fine, but with baked light you have to bake it again after you changed the settings to see an effect
teal tulip
asked you if you have something green on skylight or the light settings, said no
๐ค
tawdry storm
well he said that he changed it
he just didn't do a rebuild
you didn't ask him to do that ๐
teal tulip
:/
sullen wraith

teal tulip

sullen wraith

sullen wraith

sullen wraith
baked light?
teal tulip
yeah what you're doing, static light in the scene
teal tulip

sullen wraith
I've got two identical texts, same colour. in unreal editor they look the same, in the actual game, one is grey
plush yew
my images for buttons are quite small yet they are too big to fit in the screen of unreal's canvas
what the heck
does unreal assume that everyone has a screen of 720p???
Then scales up the whole thing if u have anything more than that.
sullen wraith
how can i change colour for a hud element via implemented function? i know to use format text to change the text
unsure for colour
stark rivet
Is there a way to render something with a transparent background

Is there any way of viewing the Wiki properly without reading through the source of a post?
sullen wraith
I've made this in an inherited function for my HUD, for some reason when I go to bind it, it isn't appearing
would anyone know why
stark rivet
I haven't really found much on the wiki about this cedric
regal mulch
Well they marked the wiki as non-editable cause they work on a new one
But reading the old posts is a pain right now
grave nebula
code blocks are borked too
manic pawn
calling bullshit on them actually working on it
it does not take months to migrate a wiki
regal mulch
Code blocks are the thing that kills the reading
Cuase you can't see anymore where the code starts and ends + the formatting is broken
it looks okay in source but there you have only plain text
grave nebula
doc maintenance was never Epic's strength.

grim ore
If the signature is incorrect it would not be able to be bound seems likely to me
uneven spoke
I need help with something
can someone dm me
so i can screenshare
sleek solar
if you post the actual issue here the more chances that you get help... you haven't even mentioned if it is programming related or something else
grim ore
What was the error when you compiled it?
grim ore
and did you try recompiling from source like it suggested or opening the log to see the error?
alternately you could try deleting the build, binaries, and intermediate folder and rebuilding to see if it's something stuck
uneven spoke
i will try that
and yes i tryed from source
https://gyazo.com/3b640b8c6a2e9211dd907d74c35f75a2 same thing after deleting @grim ore
grim ore
You need to see what the log shows when you try and build it from the uproject
grim ore
It's literally right there when you open it, the Show Log button
sleek solar
why don't you build it directly from the visual studio?
vale silo
_ needs 4.20.3 release_
uneven spoke
ive tried
it just says Build Failed
the log goes to fast for me to be able to copy and paste
is the log logged anywhere
grim ore
try generating the solution files again and open it in VS and build it in there if opening the uproject and building is failing might be the next step
in VS you would atleast be able to see the error logs when it compiles

did you put those plugins into engine or game folder?
uneven spoke
engine
sleek solar
VictoryBPLibrary and AdvancedSessions
I think they should be inside the game project folder
I could be wrong
sleek solar
Unreal Projects\BattleRoyale1.7\Plugins
uneven spoke
done
VictoryPlugin
is called VictoryPBPlugin
4a. Navigate to \Your_Directory\Plugins and extract the files in VictoryPlugin(newest-version).zip to the plugins directory into a folder called VictoryPlugin
> **Plugins Directory Structure:** \Your_Directory\Plugins\VictoryPlugin\"plugin files"
i shrudder everytime someone shows me their ue4 projects/engines are installed on C:/
