Is there any easy way to stop the weird motion blur thing when my marble is staying center in the frame?

Seemed to be in the project by default

#

Is the marble reflective?

plush yew Jan 20, 2019, 11:39 PM

#

Yes it is

#

It did this when I turned the specular to 0.1 too (Which was barely reflective at all)

grim ore Jan 20, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

yeah I don't think it's motion blur but the reflective map updating

plush yew Jan 20, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

How/Where do I do that?

grim ore Jan 20, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

use the console key (normally `) then type it in

#

you can try it while the game is running

plush yew Jan 20, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

No it doesnt help

#

😦

grim ore Jan 20, 2019, 11:48 PM

ah crap well that was my idea, that screen space reflection was causing the issue 😦

anyone know how to fix the issue where when you click on a menu item the drop down wont come down

grim ore Jan 20, 2019, 11:49 PM

#

uhm motion blur should be an option in the project settings else you can disable it in the map using a post process volume

grim juniper Jan 20, 2019, 11:50 PM

#

I'm guessing the ball is rolling adding motion blur to it, but Unreal's motion blur is hot garbage

plush yew Jan 20, 2019, 11:51 PM

#

AHA MY THEORY WAS CORRECT

#

It was the motion blur

spare sun Jan 20, 2019, 11:52 PM

#

nobody likes motion blur

grim juniper Jan 20, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

There are times and places where you want motion blur. Depends on what kind of project your working on though. Like racing games are one place you might actually want motion blur. Problem is Unreal's motion blur is literal garbage making objects like spinning wheels look like they're trying to enter an alternate universe...

#

Oof

novel ember Jan 21, 2019, 12:10 AM

#

you may have to select the mesh component rather than doing the actor directly

#

iirc skysphere has a bunch of construction script-level stuff that tries keeping it pointed up

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 12:12 AM

#

So I can flip this directly but even if I flip it there is a horizon

i also checked the forum no help

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 3:11 AM

@surreal sable this is the first time you launched the engine?

or was it working before?

as example

#

it's where your ue4 engine is

generally under launcher folder

surreal sable Jan 21, 2019, 3:41 AM

#

maybe just reinstall it

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 3:43 AM

well, you could try...if it wont work launch the eu4editor.exe with -log (make a shortcut)

then post log somewhere on pastebin or Hastebin/0bin

📎 8ee8444dce01f5647c36e20139117e8b.png

dry moon Jan 21, 2019, 6:32 AM

#

You'll need to get into the animation and make sure the root bone is included when you export

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 6:38 AM

#

@onyx berry um no, your root bone should be named root

dry moon Jan 21, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

^ that too

#

undercase

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 6:41 AM

#

@onyx berry also it's a good rule to store skeleton separately from mesh and avoid any transform nodes (you could make them in the separate tree)

onyx berry Jan 21, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

my bone is named root and i exported it now it says failed to merge bones

#

@next badger

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 6:46 AM

#

@onyx berry this message says you trying to import a mesh that has different skeleton from the one you are targeting to

#

if you are reimporting - just press yes all

onyx berry Jan 21, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

the animation isnt carryingover

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

skeleton in ue4 is a different asset, but it is part of the mesh in the fbx file, so when you importing make sure to look on import settings

onyx berry Jan 21, 2019, 6:48 AM

#

just the skeletel and skeleton

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 6:49 AM

#

@onyx berry have you checked the animation checkbox?

#

reimport does not import new assets, just existing ones

onyx berry Jan 21, 2019, 6:50 AM

#

ok let me try osrry for asking so many questons

next badger Jan 21, 2019, 6:50 AM

#

np

#

animations in ue4 are different assets too, fbx could store multiple animations (if it was made in Motion Builder)

@eager swallow Is it a shipping build or development ?

eager swallow Jan 21, 2019, 8:20 AM

cloud cobalt Jan 21, 2019, 8:20 AM

#

It's normal for Steam to be disabled in-editor, and in shipping builds that weren't started from Steam

#

This error in packaging is normal

#

Packaging starts your game at some point to find assets it uses, since it's in-editor, Steam is disabled

performance, a physics asset sweeping for overlaps would be like 20 sweeps per frame

merry gazelle Jan 21, 2019, 5:43 PM

Do functions(assuming the same nodes) have any performance boost or is it mostly just better organisation?

why not just apend health

if you add a negative it goes down

Can you stick 2 cameras with two booms on a player, one for each eye?

#

(Both cameras scaled down)

static viper Jan 21, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

how would you use those cameras?

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

Depends.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

That will not look right at all

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

But just for the sake of argument, simultaneously as one camera would

grim sinew Jan 21, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

That's basically what VR already does.

#

Or 3d monitors.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

he means for single view i think

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

how though

static viper Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

there is no math for this tho

#

we dont know how the eyes combines 2 images.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

simultaneously as one camera would well i think that is what he means

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

Yeah

static viper Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

and we certainly cant reproduce it in math

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

your brain stitches the images together in your head

#

in VR

#

that wont happen in game#

static viper Jan 21, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

yes

#

and you are not playing the 3d view card either

#

as monitors simply cant do that

#

your eyes do the 3d part.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

Basically be like putting two monitors next too each other i guess

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

yea but how would you do it. You only got 1 screen, with 2 cameras you would have 2 images representing the eyes

grim sinew Jan 21, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

If you have an nvidia 3d vision monitor or something, it would work. Outside of that or VR, you're talking nonsense, yeah.

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

if you wanna combine it ur better off with a centered camera and wider fov

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:06 PM

But the middle wouldnt be stitched

be nice to know what hes trying to dwo

to do

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:06 PM

Just thought it would make things more realistic for FP

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:07 PM

It would be the opposite

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

Like in a fighting game or shooter

static viper Jan 21, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

thats proven by vr already

#

what you want is what vr does

#

and that doesnt need 2 cameras

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

it would, but you would have to play the game cross-eyed

static viper Jan 21, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

its a render method

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

Good animation and camera placement will make it more realistic

#

However, normally that cant be done because u have issues with the camera

#

Our actual eyes dont see in squares

does GetPlayerName() from playerstate return the steam name when using steam subsystem automatically?

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:15 PM

Apart from VR

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:15 PM

this would only work with 3D monitor with eyetracking

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:15 PM

It cant be simulated

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

or VR obviously

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

Sure it could

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

I guess if you had some really sophisticated algorithm you could try and crop a wider image, calulate more details in the center, and ditch outer details

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:15 PM

#

No it cant

#

Your talking apples and oranges

#

Two totally different things

#

Might be possible to train a neural network to do that

#

But most likely ud make it worse

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

But i doubt it would ever work, as they've pointed out, at the end of the day you're watching a flat screen, and expecting 3d-ish behaviour

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

Ud be taking a curved round image soo too say#

#

and flattening it on a screen

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

yeah

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

It could be as simple as two dots in parallel on your screen instead of one, who knows. I haven't tried anything yet.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

That is not how vison works.

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

say even if you could combine 2 cameras, what would you see as the outcome? The places where it would overlap would be kinda like having bad/blurry vision because of the camera shift

grim ore Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

.... block.... him.... have we not learned yet?

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

Its funny though?

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

the biggest problem is that you have a window for a monitor, but you are putting more stuff in, them there would be in reality

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

Personally i dont wanna block people for thinking different,

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

like the monitor is for example 20 degrees of your FOV

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

even if its caused by a lack of knowledge

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

but it's 90 degrees inside it

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

there is one way to do this though. Simply render side by side and tell the players it's a cross-eyed 3d game

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

thonk

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

Fun fact, your eyes and brain have basically a neural network system that automatically fills in details in your vision

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

We need people thinking different. Challenge the system. .

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

Gets stronger the further away from the centre of your vison you go

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

That is indeed a fun fact!

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

neural network rendering FTW

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

Which is also why the brain is so extremely interesting..

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

I think its about 60% of your outer vision from the center that gets basically fabricated

#

Upscaled would be a good word

graceful sky Jan 21, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

RTX is already doing that, spade

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

not really, it's only denoising

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

nah they got DLSS

#

thats upscaling not denoising

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

RTX uses AI for denoising too tho

#

or at least it's possible to do it

#

nvidia had a pathtracing demo with AI denoising on RTX

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

Yeah nivida do have upscaling NN tech

#

but its not specific to RTX

#

it actually has nothing to do with RTX

#

It was on the website before RTX was even out.

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

technically DLSS doesnt have anything to do with RTX

#

they just use the tensor cores

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

DLSS was built specifically for RTX using a big bunch of there tech afaik

#

Pretty sure DLSS would also include there denoising

#

or some parts of it maybe?

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

nn, DLSS works on tensor cores, but they just announced it with RTX, cuz Turing has both RT cores and tensor cores

#

but they work separately

#

but technically it will work on Volta too, since it has tensor cores

#

that's why it was known (denoising) before RTX was annoucned

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

volta has tensor cores?

#

didnt know that

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

You could also try recreating double vision and then "shift" the feeling in whatever direction that works.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

That does not work.

Go look up some information on how eyes and vison processing works.

I'm no where near experimenting yet.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:24 PM

Take me about 5 mins to create a double vison system that can shift vision, could prob even get a blender in there for another 10

#

Im sure you can do it in an hour.

frank escarp Jan 21, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

DLSS has been prototyped on the TeslaV

#

(volta)

#

which is the Tesla with the fuckton of tensorcores

#

in theory that TeslaV card should run DLSS super well

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:25 PM

Shift vision?

What for

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:25 PM

Your the one who just said shift.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

Thanks.

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

You don't actually need 2 cameras. You can recreate the feeling of having two eyes instead. Via illusion etc

#

Or create something that simulates that feeling

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

the feeling of having two eyes 🤔
now im kinda curious

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

How you going to shift an image in too two separate ones at different depths

#

Thats not possible with out some serious neural networking to patch things up

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

so basically you want to move your focus point and instead of bluring foreground, you want to see it double

grim sinew Jan 21, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/813VEj1QsfL._SX425_.jpg This would simulate that feeling. Other than that, you're kind of mildly insane.

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:29 PM

Because it's how you recreate it... which option you choose

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:30 PM

But thats not actually possible.

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:30 PM

i mean its technically impossible, since there is no way to stitch the final image

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:30 PM

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:30 PM

How is that going to help on a flat monitor

plush yew Jan 21, 2019, 6:30 PM

I'm not saying use 2 cameras.

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:30 PM

but you need two cameras for this

spare sun Jan 21, 2019, 6:30 PM

and then stitch it back together

Because it's better than what FP games are now without the use of 3D vision and whatever else you mentioned.

@plush yew Just out of curiosity, what even is your background? Are you an ophthalmologist or something?

Dont you think if that was possible someone would of done that by now?

#

Someone who actually has a good sense in this field.

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

you can do this only with a single plane focal change
so basically everything behind this plane is in focus
everything before this plane is in double vision

#

but that is not realistic

@grim sinew is it Vulkan updated?

grim sinew Jan 21, 2019, 6:45 PM

It'll be easier doing it in your own engine, UE4 is too massive

iron wadi Jan 21, 2019, 6:45 PM

you cant modify how the camera works in UE

Unless you simulate it or create an illusion

grim sinew Jan 21, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

Seriously though. Give this a shot, it's literally a thousand times less complex. Changing something as basic as the camera will be easier.

pallid compass Jan 21, 2019, 6:46 PM

I doubt its all exposed

You should be able too make a child class of camera

prob stuff in there can be overriden

@surreal isle by changing engine code...thanks Epic we have that ability

hey, im trying to use console commands to check something in slowmotion

but demo.timeDilation kinda doesnt do anything

how can I slow down general time via console commands?

its slowmo (number)

what sort of number do you have to enter, is time based on factors of 1?

@vagrant pier you would have to show the code but the error is pretty simple, your reference is not good when you are trying to use it so figure out when it is trying to be used, F9 to breakpoint on it, and see what is going on when you debug.

@junior solstice we have no idea how your object is structured but selecting it and hitting delete in your component tree (top left) should get rid of the component that is displaying that mesh. Alternately you can just set the mesh for that component to none and it would show none

@junior solstice those are just sockets. You need to remove the component in the bp

I cannot no, did you get this from a pack or a person? You might need to ask them. to me it looks like the bazooka is part of the character and not separate which means you have to remove it outside of UE4. You might be able to just hide it but that might be better for #animation

Hi -- Some Paragon characters recently released come with weapons included in the mesh by default.
I tried exporting them to Maya to delete the weapon manually but

@vagrant pier you might need to show the actual code where the error is coming from. Also is this in a networked project?

vagrant pier Jan 21, 2019, 11:17 PM

@grim ore Yeah it is networked project, I followed NiceShadow's Tutorial on YouTube.. This all worked flawlessly and I was able to go from Main Menu to lobby to Map but in one of the more recent versions of his videos he switched the lobby system to be incorporated in the map and I'm getting these errors aswell as being sent straight to the map with no Lobby inbetween.

#

All the variables that are giving errors in MyPlayerCharacter are referencing GameUI and LobbyWB, both UMG Widgets

#

I mean all the events/functions giving errors during gameplay *** not variables. The Variables are references to the UMG Widgets

going straight to 4.21 should work the same way, but c++ project files may be an issue in either way, you may need to change the .build.cs files manually

next badger Jan 22, 2019, 6:03 AM

@swift spindle baking material in collision need to be adjusted, since world position offset is shader thing and landscape is not, if you're using tesselation it also need to be linked to position offset, since displacement is normal oriented and height map is not

@uneven fractal @next badger I would also assume that Atlas is 4.5.

I mean, I'm pretty sure Atlas is just ARK with other assets. Doubt they would rewrite their code in a different engine version.
Maybe they duplicated the project and updated the engine for it, but then again, why would they.

Doesn't seem the company type.

it's 4.5 with all the new features backported according to the atlas modding discord @regal mulch

regal mulch Jan 22, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

What does that even mean

#

That basically sounds exactly like what I said. It's ARK + ATLAS Assets

uneven fractal Jan 22, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

they customized the engine so much that they can't fully update but they just pick the features they want from newer ue4 and port it to their engine

regal mulch Jan 22, 2019, 9:24 AM

#

Yeah that's normal

#

My point is, that ATLAS is most likely the same engine if not project. So you could run into that pin problem there too

grim sinew Jan 22, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

The ARK menu was found in ATLAS, so probably the same engine/project

uneven fractal Jan 22, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

it was the same project at some point but the features in atlas would be impossible with the ark engine

regal mulch Jan 22, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

Which doesn't mean that they can't just update the "ark engine"

#

Sorry, I pretty much dislike the company behind ARK for how they market etc. the game

cloud cobalt Jan 22, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

Yeah, like the company that uses Shootergame as a basis has done so much customization

regal mulch Jan 22, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

Unoptimized EA game
DLCs while main game in EA
ATLAS most likely a DLC that now is a full game cause their season pass wasn't generating enough money

#

But that all aside, the pin problem

#

Which might come up if you ever touch atlas mod editor

#

So be aware

uneven fractal Jan 22, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

I doubt it i've encountered hundreds of unique issues that have never come up again they just screw you over for like a week and just disappear after that
