yeah that makes sense

grim ore
so if your velocity is > than the number in your anim bp for the blend space it determines if it should be idle or run or walk
and for that it determines which animation to play based on what you set up in the blend space
then when your running animation is playing it triggers the anim notify in the anim bp and from there you could find the surface you are on or just pass that notify back into the character and have it do it

ok tahanks a lot i understand better

light map res in the right side panel when the object is double clicked
it helps, but there's still a little artifact - I think it's caused by the neighbour meshes having different scales:
isn't there a way to tell UE to compute itself the lightmap resolution, taking the X/Y scale into account?

unreal venture
i used same steps...
If you do not use the default SDK path, it is possible for SetupAndroid.bat to fail during a later step, as it will be unable to locate needed files.
this is a none sense, i used default ... android its so pain, i even remove all stuff for this and now prolly cant go back to unity and unity probably brokes thanks to this so now im on middle of a migration from unity to unreal its unbelieveble... maby people must test this more before make a release of this kind ... now i would have to focus on fix this on my own and waste time doing things that should be out of box to me...
grim ore
if you had unity installed it could have set up the android stuff which is conflicting with this
unreal venture
i have remove everything man
not unity but all android stuff
so you mean i cant work with unity and unreal in same machine? thats odd
i dont even open unity but im sure now im dead
grim ore
I never said that, I said it could have
grim ore
something in your settings/environment setup is pointing android to an NVIDIA folder
unreal venture
i will install the NDK using android studio

I dunno i just suggested what I would do to try and figure out the broken step. beyond that it works here no issues
worldly cipher
wait
mathew??
thats so odd i just watched a few of your tutorials trying to find the answer to my problem lmao
unreal venture
who made this bat stuff did you know? let him know that its bad, and its not work out of box, maby he must effort more next time before a release lol
grim ore
the .bat file works fine for most people under the normal setup
its your machine with the issue, not the file
unreal venture
i have a normal setup, i did all the default steps
why my machine would have a issue ?
grim ore
we dont know, we dont know what you installed over the lifetime of using it
unreal venture
rofl
worldly cipher
whats the issue exactly summed up?
unreal venture
its point to a NVIDIA path that i dont know where is getting that from
and it dont exist that folder
grim ore
like I said, works fine here
unreal venture
show me your bat file can you ?
grim ore
its a batch file, you could run the lines below where it works and before it breaks to find where it is breaking
its the same file you have, you can see the path
unreal venture
C:\Users\darth\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
\NVIDIA
why i dont have this folder? why it point to it
grim ore
that is 2 separate lines
the first line there comes from the batch file at echo Android Studio SDK Path: %STUDIO_SDK_PATH%
the error comes after that, its not related to that
unreal venture
i believe all this stuff should come embedded for the god sake
grim ore
it would just do the same stuff and still fail
unreal venture
then people should stop programming this stuff lol
grim ore
and licenses prevent stuff like this from being embedded
grim ore
if it was in the installer, it would do the same thing and fail the same way
plush yew
when you import inputs. is there no way to keep the ones you currently have instead of over-writing them completely?
unreal venture
one of the things its make me see that there is no real organization beyond this its , why the command file and sh file are included , when i used to get a window version, can be possible that doing click on those files make something broke?
grim ore
@plush yew if you are importing it should add them unless they already exist then it should add a new key for it
unreal venture
coz those should not be there from the beginning , they are wrong
grim ore
why should they not be there?
plush yew
its been erasing the ones i have and importing the new ones.
unreal venture
coz they are for linux
and other one for macbook
why i need a file thats not for my OS in there
wasting disk space
grim ore
yeah I guess that could be an issue, nuke the extras folder if not needed then
plush yew
see it just deletes the ones i had and imports the other ones. (luckily i have them backed up) but thats just weird
grim ore
is it because your exported out the input from another project?
plush yew
it is from another one. but their different
unreal venture
i believe its about android the problem, android sdks and stuff are so painfull, i have problems with unity alot too... i guess i would try to download the ndk with android studio, hope it would be same , i dont really understand why this bat file its in there anyways, since its should come from android since NDK means Native Development Kit (NATIVE OF ANDROID I BELIEVE)...
so what the bat does actually its set all "auto" for us
and link the paths to the engine after install this Mysterious NDK
in this Mysterious way...
grim ore
@plush yew yeah the issue is the exported ones are set up to replace. IF you open the .ini file you can see how its set up. here is one set to update and the other that is set to override
unreal venture
i just wonder if it has to be like that?
its like a github pull or something?
so weird stufff
grim ore
so if you update yours to update, the + infront of the mappsigs, it should update
@unreal venture the .bat file is to make sure you have the appropriate files installed for that version of the engine, the engine is versioned against specific files when testing. The android studio install is to make sure the installers they need to use to download the specific android files are available
void helm
unreal venture
but matheww, you are agree that this is bad? coz there is no real help to me now
\NVIDIA was unexpected at this time.```previous versions of UE4 used to have you install the files using the NDK installer but people dont know how to follow instructions so they made a batch file to automate it
unreal venture
thats what the bat says, who ever have this bug any one there ? thanks
grim ore
I am not saying this is bad, I could fix this issue if I had it
and if you arent finding this error on the internet, then its not a widespread or common issue
unreal venture
im just installing this since its the only ndk i can see on android studio
seems its 22 version
grim ore
there is a section of the batch file that is failing, you can run it by hand to find the error then fix it
unreal venture
i just hope this work...
grim ore
ndk\21.1.6352462
unreal venture
there is a section of the batch file that is failing, you can run it by hand to ...
im not bat expert bro so i cant
grim ore
thats the one they version against 4.26.1
unreal venture
hmmm
so this ndk would not work you say?
but its the official last one ?
what version of unreal can work with this NDK version im downloading you know?
grim ore
None out of the box that I know of
unreal venture
๐ฉ
stiff bane
hey, what i do
grim ore
do you have your project open more than once?
stiff bane
do you have your project open more than once?
no
grim ore
might have to just cancel and close it down then, make sure the project is not in a protected folder
stiff bane
hmm okay ill see
grim ore
@unreal venture im not saying that version would not work, its possible it works 100%, its just not the version that epic has tested against for that version of the engine.
unreal venture
oh, ok
coz they are often updating i understand
ndkVersion "21.4.7075529" but this one jumps
there is no version of that engine wants
its like dissapear from their database
NDK de Android, revisiรณn 20b
android {
ndkVersion "20.1.5948944"

well this is the exact line that the batch file uses to install
call "%SDKMANAGER%" "platform-tools" "platforms;android-28" "build-tools;28.0.3" "cmake;3.10.2.4988404" "ndk;21.1.6352462"

so you could technically call it by hand if you want
grim ore
go to where your studio is installed and run the sdkmanager.bat file with those parameters
unreal venture
android studio installed the 30
no 28's available
right
i will try that thanks
grim ore
I certainly have 28 in my studio, and you can see its partially installed by the batch file
unreal venture
ok that have sense
i hope to finish with this proyect soon as possible so i can get rid of it, i will not come back to do anything for android... ever again lol
actually i have cmake v 3.20 already due other stuff... i just noticed now...
this is so hard to keep all as they want us have it...
plush yew
i added the + , in front of all of them, now it doesnt import at all.
unreal venture
it just keep sending me to the website after put the ndk folder correctly ๐ฆ
oh i noticed the CMAKe stuff its on android too so maby its other CMAKE stuff not related of what i already had...
i have set all the 3 paths
still poiting to website when try to build apk

is 4.25 unreal engine the most stable version right?
whats the last version of unreal? i saw there is a mobile asset that require 4.8 , but im not sure if download that one or not, i have 4.25 and 4.26

4.25 is more stable than .26?

actually i have doubts of unreal , seems its uses old stuff for android, i dont even can make this to build an apk, im since 4 damn hours trying to fix this problem , nothing as worked so far, and now i cant go back, i believe im not the only one , something is wrong and is not my pc , i cant believe that i have to re install everything from beginning its a none sense to me be reinstalling the whole stuff i have all the updated stuff but its seems the engine dont reconize ndk or sdk or jdk... coz its take me to the website...
grim ore
@unreal venture if it points to the website when you build then the project is not set up to use android
its saying "hey your not set up to use android"
unreal venture
hmmm you mean when you start a new proyect right?
and should pickup if its mobile?
how can we switch an existing proyect for be android published can we?
grim ore
no thats just a preset, if you try and package then the project is not set up for android correctly
which is usually the SDK/NDK not being found on project launch
also assuming you installed the android files during the engine setup
unreal venture
would be pretty nice that you guys made some popup here saying whats going on , due the website link its like cheat lol
the website link reference dosnt even related to android...
grim ore
the website can be updated, an in engine link cannot
regardless this is all nit picking and doesnt solve the problem
unreal venture
so
my sdk or ndk is not compatible
coz i have them
i have all now
but none are the versions you ask for coz , there is no source of that
you can look at android page i didnt found the ndk you guys want me to install
there is no exist such version anymore in official page so far i see
i show you up there the jump

Hey guys,
Just starting a new third person project and I have purchased character from the market place.
I deleted its skeleton and replaced it with the base mannequin reference...
it all works well but the character is smaller, and has ended up floating as a result.
If I actually just pull the mesh down in the BP the character ends up clipping through the floor when it crouches.
I just was wonder if there is a better way to do this or should I just adjust all the animations manually to work with it ?
grim ore
and your NDK roots are set up properly in your system environment variables?
unreal venture
well
didnt knew that
one question
should i point to the ndk folder
or to the ndk/numversion/
grim ore
unreal venture
right
as i have it
not there but in engine i have it like that
so im going to check that
grim ore
the engine uses the environment paths to see if android is set up when launching the project
grim ore
this is exactly what I have following the instructions
your setup file never finishes so it never sets them for you
you can of course run it by hand which I pointed out above but I dont think you did that
unreal venture
im doing all by hand
coz i dont have other way bro lol
im using updated stuff not those versions coz i actually want to have something working asap
grim ore
sure you have other ways
grim ore
yep you keep geting stuck on doing it your way

C:\Users\isanc\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\tools\bin\sdkmanager.bat "platform-tools" "platforms;android-28" "build-tools;28.0.3" "cmake;3.10.2.4988404" "ndk;21.1.6352462"
this is what I suggested before, run the actual command from your android install just like the bat file would and see what happens

anyways...
since its android, it must work on updated versions
of things...

call, use, tell it to do something

if this not work

so does anyone know why Unreal version 24.3 would have different error messages and different expectations from my build.. after reinstalling it? I use 24.3 now, I used 24.3 a month ago.. I had no errors last month. I have errors now. It's supposed to be the exact same 24.3 code.. ??..
unreal venture
YEAHHHHHHHHHH!
thank you man you are the boss
if was not for you i dont know what was going to be of me ๐
that last NDK enviroment variable did the job
grim ore
@dense knoll well that folder is different so I doubt it replaced any engine files
unreal venture
now i have different versions but well lets see what happend ๐
thank you @grim ore you should get a better salary from now on ๐
grim ore
@copper flicker would have to see the error messages to figure it out, but no if nothing changed at all it should be the same.
copper flicker
for example, this will stop a build from happening now.
the No Rain needs an actual input
with an empty sound
a month ago, using the same 4.24.3............. this was working just fine, no errors
it's nuts wtf...?
do they update the engine somehow and not tell anybody?
grim ore
they do, but it shouldnt be an in place update like that it would be a new .revision
I've never seen that happen
copper flicker
it's not, I was using the same .3 revision, I used it a long time
also.. I have this error now
Failed to Create Player: A local player already exists for controller ID 0,
grim ore
is the project folder the same as before?
copper flicker
I'm creating the player manually, after I kill all player starting PIEs
grim ore
as in the same folder, not a new pull from source or backup
copper flicker
dense knoll
Aparently the Plugin litrally has a exact replica of the Save Object
So now i have to recreate that in the engines save object
Thanks
copper flicker
yes, the project is identical, it's just Unreal that's different
same folder, I make local backups
maybe I deleted some temp files when backing up
๐
so maybe this forced Unreal to rebuild some local stuff
other than that.. nope, same structure
grim ore
that is my thought and you had uncompiled updates
you could have made a change, the change was no good but it used an older version of it
copper flicker
hmmm... yeah, maybe, but I'm trying to figure out now how this happened
if only I could tell what that yellow message means
which Spawn Actor??
one of many.
nobody is supposed to craete a player 0 other than the one I've already created anyway
I'm creating the player with Spawn Actor
and then Posses
s
grim ore
then perhaps your game mode is doing it
grim ore
if you unhook the possess does it give the error
copper flicker
good thinking. and yes. sadly
all works fine, it seems... I create my player and posses it
dunno why the error
so this is how I kill all PIEs
this happens first.
and then I spawn the player like so
oh man.. this is a ton of spahetti haha
dunno if I should spam this chat with so much pasta
eh, I'll try to figure it out
maybe there's some loop thing trying to make another player O o
as always, thanks MW!
โ ๐
grim ore
yeah you might need to use the blueprint find and look for other nodes
or just print string out every time it tries to possess or spawn a player lol

i followed a tutorial on how to switch between first and third person, but now in third person the character runs in circles
these are all the blueprints that might have something to do with the issue
grim ore
did you change anything on the character, movement component, or cameras?
plush yew
Anyone else getting these nonsense LogLinker warnings?
Fresh install of the editor, fresh empty project. And it's asking for top down template files?
I actually tried migrating that file from the top down template, which silenced the warning.
And then deleted the asset from within the project, and the warning resurfaced.
Lol, what.
grim ore
I think some of the templates are just not clean is all
plush yew
This was a blank project.

Lol, crap.
Is there another way to initialize a blank project? ๐
This is nagging me like a hang nail.

did you change anything on the character, movement component, or cameras?
i have this
orient rotation to movement
but if i uncheck it it breaks in a different way

@grim ore I wanted to ask you something about multiplayer and save editing if you don't mind, last we spoke you said people can edit their saves which is obviously inviting cheating which is granted, but how far can editting such saves go, for example infinite HP/MP beyond max possibilities, or can they bypass stat allocation limits, or twist game mechanical functions like 100% chance to cause status effect, auto aim or such? or is it just cheating speed past game completion and material/gear unlock o.o
grim ore
@remote bramble thats on by default. You might need to show the issue. I dont have an issue with your setup
unreal venture
@plush yew you cant save in clients machine anything in a multiplayer game dude
you cant trust on that
plush yew
o.o;
remote bramble
i'd have to record then. the best explanation of the issue is that the character just runs in small circles
not in place or anything
plush yew
so they could do all of the above if client saves are possible?
grim ore
@remote bramble when you do what? hold forward or hold left or etc?
remote bramble
hold w
unreal venture
@hidden pagoda yes
grim ore
@plush yew client saves would just let them change whatever is in the save
unreal venture
you should use a dedicated server and database
plush yew
o.o
grim ore
@remote bramble ok so it doesnt do that with the default movement code, your movement code above is weird
plush yew
so if their stats only have 500 points possible they can twist that to like 1000 because its on a client save? ._.;
unreal venture
they can bro
plush yew
;O;
unreal venture
dont save anything on clients data info should go in server
and server should never communicate directly with them
grim ore
@remote bramble this is the default movement code, its relative to the control rotation not the camera (which might be your issue)
unreal venture
you need to understand the concept of authoritative server
unreal venture
is not that hard
try to understand SERVER
and why Server must not trust on clients
server is the one who holds data for you
and keep things safe from cheat
plush yew
people say servers take $1000's to setup and maintain and if thats true it just complicates the process even further.. x,.,x
unreal venture
then made an api that communicate with it
remote bramble
<@!464502614474883093> this is the default movement code, its relative to the co...
wont this turn the character when i turn the camera? because i dont want that
grim ore
@unreal venture no r19 doesnt refer to that in the way they are using it, android NDK/SDK are backwards compilable basically. You can have 30 installed and target 28 for example as the minimum version. I just compiled a new project using the correct settings and no issue. Your project might still be set to use your manual setup and be pointing/using the wrong settings
unreal venture
so players can trought this api save stuff after validation checks , but like logins only
players clients never should send info to server neither
grim ore
@remote bramble turning it when they are in first person, or turning when in third?
plush yew
authortitive servers, api, validation checks for save stuff am i missing anything else to research?
unreal venture
<@!377593881719734272> no r19 doesnt refer to that in the way they are using it,...
ok im blind i barely understand what you say, What should i do , any hint?
grim ore
@unreal venture did you change any of the settings for that project? forcing it to your manual install diretory? stuff like that
unreal venture
@plush yew do custom events from client to server, with out send inputs from client , just call the event, then do server logic, you can use a txt file if want to save data from server but keep it away from clients

okie i guess that makes sense ill look into it in a bit
still working on my creator system xD
Helo everyone I have a question I'm making a tree with several million polys in blender it uses simple deformation (not skeletal deformation!) for its animations will this be supported by nanite in ue5?
plush yew
people say servers take $1000's to setup and maintain and if thats true it just ...
I'm most familiar with web software, so I can't speak to the demands of running a dedicated UE server, but infrastructure is remarkably cost effective. Static content, API calls and even a fair bit of bandwidth borders on free.
o.o
so i wont be broke before i even start lol?
I think much of the cost comes down to how much computation your server is doing.
unreal venture
once you understand the concept of replication in unreal
plush yew
so if i have level destruction itll probably cause large costs i presume?
plush yew
so if i have level destruction itll probably cause large costs i presume?
You just have to measure it, see what your hardware requirements are.
hmm
grim ore
@plush yew no one knows for sure until the preview comes out
plush yew
If you're planning on doing multiplayer, I'd say start your project with that in mind.
Features aren't complete until they are cooked/packaged and tested on multiple clients.
unreal venture
@plush yew what kind of level destruction you mean
plush yew
yeah it seems like i might have to definitely recode my UI systems perhaps
well
ok
i want builds to come tumbling down
weapons to shatter
and if possible destruction for clothing that i cant seem to find a single proof of concept for
but didnt they say somthing about skeletal derformation not being supported?
grim ore
@unreal venture you said earlier you changed the folder.... and the log is showing your r22 install not the r21 so either change the project settings back to defaults or uninstall the old one and point the variables back to the correct one
plush yew
wel buildings, trees, platforms etc
Hopefully if you're running a dedicated server, you have revenue streams from the players on those servers.
grim ore
@plush yew yep but that doesnt mean other types will be, we dont know yet
plush yew
ok thanks
well i planned on no dlc or subs just a simple $60 to play and enjoy all content and future updates and downloadable content packs
unreal venture
wel buildings, trees, platforms etc
but its procedurally?
plush yew
id hope
its procedural lol
preview is only weeks away! ue5 is upon us!
Well as long as your marketing strategy ensures a steady stream of new players, you'll have the cash flow to pay for the servers.
unreal venture
if you barely grasp the replication concept then i believe you should start simple
plush yew
o.o
unreal venture
make just one house, try to this get destroyed in server and replicates
then spawn another one
etc
unreal venture
server must handle those calculations
unreal venture
sorry my english m8 im spanish
plush yew
this is an extremly high poly (like 1000000 polys) animated tree im making in blender but i dont know what what i have to animate it with
its ok i understand you :3
unreal venture
i dont know what you mean with water... but thats how i would do about house destroying
grim ore
if you get bored check out the server stack they created for Camelot Unchained
plush yew
server stack?
grim ore
how they handle that stuff in their game, massive multiplayer and pvp and destruction and stuff server side
grim ore
pretty much systems like you want are...... very complex
plush yew
oh so i can hold the data on server and leave the heavy weight to client rendering and such?
yeah i know matheww xD
ive noticed
unreal venture
if you are one man army i believe you should stop dreaming lol
honestly dont want to harm you but i want to make your life easier
stay away from that proyect lol
plush yew
i know i know my scope was a bit insane so i downsized it drastically x-x
i want to eventually build up towards said scope with content updates over time though!
unreal venture
oh so i can hold the data on server and leave the heavy weight to client renderi...
exactly
plush yew
i spoke a few months ago about some stuff and learned about vertical scopes :3
unreal venture
remember , dont trust on clients
plush yew
so i wanna make a stuffed vertical scope sandwich
than just load it over time
i know i know people ruin nice things
IMO there's nothing wrong with an ambitious project, but to ground yourself in reality, you have to test and measure important aspects of your project.
apparently i cant even deticate 30% of my game revenue towards giving back to the player in cash rewards for seasonal leaderboard scorings because cheating so it feels really bad lol :3
unreal venture
you need json, and database, there is a nice asset in unreal i have bought and succed
to retrieve data from azure sql
you need something similar
plush yew
o.o
plush yew
if you dont mind ill probably save this conversation for reference
unreal venture
then use game server to connect database ONLY, and send replications handle data and logic server side, then clients just see via API whats going on
but they cant cheat or change core
due they talk to api
not server
so no input its send from client to server
so you are good to go from that
and never , ever send data from client to server.
directly
plush yew
Oh i see o.o
unreal venture
what you actually need its a login where you validate that user can see stuff
via api
using tokens
so you know they are authenticated and that they are ok to do something thats all what your game server need to know about users
plush yew
Yeah alot of setup because people wanna be naughty xD
unreal venture
but you do it via api due you cant trust on clients
it is yeah but not only due that , its how things are done at this age i believe
plush yew
It makes sense tbh though I'd have to look into all of this so I dont screw it up
unreal venture
there are P2p games and such but are very bad , at least you need a very fast game you should not need to use anything similar
and yeah , people used to broke things of this kind , and you would end up before start with it
plush yew
well i plan on having parkour and wall running sliding enemy mounting via state machines etc
so i kind of wonder which server based method would be best for this since server based most definitely comes with delays :3
unreal venture
but there is no shoots between that right?
plush yew
no shoots?
unreal venture
unreal replication works like a charm for that case
plush yew
unreal replication than?
unreal venture
i dont even know if unreal support p2p i just was saying lol

since im almost done with my creator system just need to make hair lol so definitely need to setup multiplayer before i start coding anything else Zzz

Literally xD
unreal venture
actually you must start multiplayer from the beginning
prime willow
I heard or you end up jerryrigging everything hoping it works
ive only setup a UI system so it shouldnt be so bad
the start menu main menu and enter game world
grim ore
@remote bramble just keep both and disconnect the white wire going from your inputs to the code so it doesnt do anything. Or just remove those input nodes for now. Or you could turn on the experimental mode to disable nodes but thats harder
@unreal venture the Android SDK section below that on the left, I am guessing you changed it

did you install your sdk from the one that is included with ue4 or somewhere else. either way it needs them but the first thing to make sure is that its the version ue supports
grim ore
go into your platforms folder for your 22 version and see if you installed anyhing
and no they havent, they ran into an issue and are just trying to bandaid thru it
tiny sonnet
can someone answer this question?
unreal venture
did you install your sdk from the one that is included with ue4 or somewhere els...
i speak about this, the ue4 support versions i cant find it , the bat dosnt work, i try to install with android studio the one its has due the bat was not leading to anything
try the cmd of matthew not work...
anyways , should not be this updated? it cant be updated with out a new engine right?
coz android start to piss off with outdate things..
like the NDK that unreal support as you say, can you provide a link? due i didnt find it
and the bat dosnt work to me
grim ore
it doesnt need to be updated no, if it works it works
unreal venture
but the link of NDK of unreal
why you guys dont provide it ?
coz should be that way i believe
grim ore
because google doesnt provide it?
unreal venture
since they cut them off from their list
dark depot
it all installs with android studio
unreal venture
well actually it dosnt
grim ore
@tiny sonnet what are you trying to do exactly?
grim ore
so what is in that folder ?
grim ore
what about the folder I asked about earlier?
unreal venture
which one?
grim ore
the ndk folder is your installed NDK versions, the platforms folder under it is your supported platforms
dark depot
its marked right there as installed NDK its like 3 down
grim ore
unreal venture
sec
grim ore
your getting your android versions and your ndk versions mixed up they are not the same
grim ore
welp theres your problem
unreal venture
isnt
the problem is the NDK
your 21 version
that exact version is not there
maby i can find another 21
but the exact versions you guys want me to have it dont exist on their list
dark depot
i mean you showed us you dont have 22 installed
on the android studio image it literally shows its not installled
grim ore
ugh
dark depot
you have 27+
unreal venture
grim ore
NDK VERSION IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ANDROID PLATFORM VERSION
unreal venture
its the only NDK i see :S
unreal venture
so SDK 22 ?
dark depot
do you mean me or him im talking about https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/225448446956404738/821095369119236146/unknown.png?width=1201&height=675

dark depot
depends on what you set it to
grim ore
@tiny sonnet so i dont know if this is smart but there is no order that I can find besides the child order and I dont think you can set it so I came up with this. It basically gets the children and stores them for later use, removes them from the parent, adds the new one, then puts the other children back in. This results in each new child going on top then the older ones below it this is an example
remote bramble
does the default third person character not have a crouch animation
grim ore
it does not
remote bramble
ok thanks
grim ore
there is an anim starter pack you can download that should have one

then i should install this only
i realized the issues btw mathew is right of course the sdk doesnt do anything with ndk i thought android studio matched ndk on sdk install when in the simplified view but it seems it doesnt, in the sdk window hit show package details in the bottom right and it should list each NDK version just get latest one
unreal venture
ok, its just fail after get the 22 plataform im getting all the others plataforms above >22
just in case :S
latest one its the one i have?
but i didnt figure out about this , what nub im
should i download the 21?

you can download whatever you want, who knows if it will work if its not the one that epic tested against. any of them should work

the editor wants the platform toosl, it wants full android 28 for the platform. it wants the build tools (version 28). it wants cmake 3.10, it wants ndk 21. If you install something similar to that fully and let the editor find the files it should build
if your going to uninstall and start over, make sure the setupandroid file fails and tells you why
uninstall, reboot, make sure the file fails (it should tell you it wants android studio 3.5.3), then install that version of the studio like the docs say, then restart, then run the bat file
unreal venture
ok m8, i believe i know now where i have fail

no its an android thing, you just arent using an installer to install them so it doesnt create them

yep doesnt mean it does this part
grim ore
and it might do it I dont know, I dont use android studio to install my stuff
grim ore
android studio has the files that epic needs to make sure the correct android stuff is installed.

this is insane
grim ore
epic uses android studio to do that work for them
unreal venture
are you agree with that? coz its giving me nuts!
grim ore
i dont think its insane, its nothing more than normal

google doesnt make it any easier
unreal venture
im not googling at all
grim ore
I experience problems all the time but I also know how to fix them

you shouldnt be banging your head doing it over and over. try and do it the correct way and figure out why its failing. Based on the other crashes I wouldnt be surprised if you have some other version of java or the sdk/ndk installed somewhere that is interfering
grim ore
that says editor subsystem, are you using any plugins or anything that might be editor only?
unreal venture
nice
probably its due v22 is not supported by unreal
due its point to a plataforms folder that dosnt exist
so i believe this is the bug

there was less steps

theres a few reasons this could happen and ways to fix it
unreal venture
and didnt show up for choose standard or custom
grim ore
just have to try and fix it
agreeing to the SDK in the project settings, not android studio
unreal venture
i just google it... ironically i just did
and i think its about the jdk
coz they provide a v 13
but unreal dosnt want that but jdk 8, im not sure its what people say that work for them so i will try
oh well i will check that
yep i believe its ok
its green
so thats not the problem
the other guy was lieng right?
you are not a robot
you cant be...

it could still be since this is the same project you created before right?

it might still be trying to use the other version. just make a new project and try to package it

What am I missing with this simple thing? I want to have a debug line X amount in front of my actor but this line ends up at the worlds end basically..
grim ore
thats not the way vectors work is what you are missing
forward vector would be like 1,0,0 indicating its in the X direction
so you get the forward vector, multiply it by a value to make it longer
then add that new vector to your starting position
now you have an end point in that direction X units out

so for all those.. that care. the Setup.bat in the UnrealEngine source and windows hates long path names on disk.. and failed to download all the stuff needed, which caused me issue. I think.. waiting on engine compile now.. 2 characters 2 much I guess.

So I noticed something weird in engine today.
It is treating my floats weird.
For example I have a float that is 152.4 and it becomes 152.399994 in by blueprint read for it.
Any ideas why the heck its doing this?
lol its just weird to me I never noticed it until I Tried to convert meters to 5 feet and it just wants to deny me that millionth of a meter
as someone with OCD for that kind of stuff its making me question everything 
Glad to know thats "normal" though lmfao. I couldn't figure out how I would be messing up a simple UPROPERTY float

Try a rebuild
By that I mean go to file > Refresh Visual studio

Usually if I upgrade or update something and something breaks for no reason the project needs to be refreshed
trim silo
i did but it tells me to rebuild from the source
so i opened sln file
and rebuilt in visual studio
i got this error saying UINT16 is wrong and it must be UCLASS, USTRUCT or UENUM
but i'm not sure how to replace it safely
just raplce UINT16 with UCLASS and that's it?
grim ore
Nah I bet itโs an uint32 now
trim silo
so just tupe UINT32 instead?
grim ore
Or int32
analog osprey
Yeah I just tested on my end it doesnt like UINT
grim ore
Or just int lol
Dunno why uint16 was allowed
Well I mean I know why just not why itโs not now

I got it to work with uint16 but not UINT16

yeah
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/Core/GenericPlatform/FGenericPlatformTypes/uint16/index.html when i googled around about it

yeah i just pray it's gonna work fine
it's gonna open so many cool possibilities for my project
people will be amazed
ok project opened! Now just gotta wait for 25k shaders! Thanks a lot for helping out, it's good when someone actually was able to help this time haha

i'm looking at ways to create text in unreal. I found 2d text render and 3d text... but is there a way to update this text In game using blueprint?
all the tutorials on updatable text I find are using widgets
grim ore
Yes they can both be updated in blueprints. Just set the text
stiff verge
thanks.. it seems there's no tutorial on this I guess
i'd want to update 3d text this way
it might be too heavy
grim ore
No real need for one. You get the 3D text then set the text property on it.
basically changing a variable on it.
stiff verge
ok I guess the tutorial I,m looking for is how to set that variable
in a widget, the text field becomes a function. you can then create a variable
on 3d text.. it's a field.. idk how to access it or set it elsewhere
grim ore
In a widget thatโs binding which is not good
Get the 3D text then drag off it and set the text property
How you get it is up to you I donโt know the relationship between the 3D text and the blueprint you are doing this in. This is basic simple direct communication

why is it making these lines when i make a landscape
stiff verge
so I can drag the 3d text actor in my level blueprint.. from there I should be able to set the text property?
grim ore
Black lines are from unbuilt static lighting and It needing to be being built. See the red message in your screen. @plush yew
You could do that but level blueprints are a dead end for coding purposes. @stiff verge

how do i do that
grim ore
If you only need to do it once then yes the level blueprint works butโฆ.

Ehi Everyone, I'm having a problem with unreal engine...So, I have some tanks, to simulate water inside the tanks I duplicated them and made smaller the duplicate. I gave a glass shader to the big/external one, and a liquid shader to the smaller/internal one...However, when I move the camera I get this buggy effect where sometimes I see both, sometimes I only see the glass shader, any idea what the problem could be? I put a video to show what the problem is
grim ore
how do i do that
The build button on your toolbar. You might want to check out the docs on landscapes.

i can't find the node that let me set a property value

Hi
grim ore
It should be just be set text when you drag off the 3-D text

How come when I enter enclosed space (house made of brushes) when I get in it's dark but it becomes lit up, is this some kind of auto-lighting feature in the editor to help with seeing dark places and how can I make it not do that?
stiff verge
ah yes exactly
shut stump
I only use one directional light now, I haven't dug into lighting yet in deep so I guess I'm asking a bit too early
stiff verge
so any properties can be recalled this way? now that unlocks a lot stuff for me.. thanks

How do you make destructible objects until the Chaos release comes?
vocal flume
is there a node in the material editor that'll let me use a lower resolution version of a texture sample? like if i have a 2048 texture, can i use a node that can generate the 1024 version and 512 version during run time to use in Quality switch?
autumn grail
The 4.26 Chaos is not ready for active development
vocal flume
im trying to save file size by cutting down number of textures
grim ore
@autumn grail apex is the current destruction system
grim ore
@vocal flume mip levels are probably what you want to try and use.
@autumn grail built in yes.
autumn grail
Tanks a lot
vocal flume
@grim ore can you help me out with the node name? im trying to search but all im getting is how to scale textures with texture co ordinates
grim ore
On the texture sampler change the mip level
I have never done this but what youโre asking for is basically what maps do and you might be able to utilize that
So you might not actually have to do that

Hey guys. I have an issue when I want to use Git.
I started with the starter Content. And even that I removed everything and changed the references it always recreates the folder with the initial starter content. Anyone had this issue?
grim ore
Did you use a pre made template?
I know some of them and some downloadable projects have settings in them to auto include the starter content.
shut stump
Yeah, it was the auto-exposure, thoguht it was some helper feature, it's still useful otherwise.

Whats a good polycount for a tree , for medium setting pc?

would it be possible to use a device to create a map, then plug in a usb and transport the map files to another device to put in that project?

Think I didnt explain my question correctly. Currently, I'm using 3 texture samples. These are 3 different files. I'm looking for a way to import just one high res texture sample and generate lower res ones from that high res sample for the quality switch
vocal flume
mine is a very simple game. its a cube that will be at the same distance from the camera..
so there's not going to be any switching
fierce tulip
then use quality settings for your game so it uses the right mip for the right occasion
vocal flume
the quality switch node that im using in the screenshot.. is that not the same as what you're saying?
fierce tulip
global quality settings, not a material node hehe. that can be confusing yea
the thing on pc that does > settings > graphics > graphics settings

Can you use TSoftObjectPtr or TSoftClassPtr for UserWidgets (load synchronous) ? If so how ?
fierce tulip
(which you can also configure on cook per platform)
vocal flume
just to clear things up.. if i use one 2048 texture.. and set the Settings--> Engine Scalability Settings --> Auto in the editor.. it'll automatically reduce texture size based on the device its running?
fierce tulip
for testing yes, but for cooking the came you'll need to set stuff up for that yourself. (which is out of my knowhow)
midnight wren

um can someone help
fierce tulip
@midnight wren besides #rules which you should read.
If you migrate the map to a folder called "content" thats on your usb, it should migrate all the right content which you can then get into another project

Small update, regarding the Black Screen and Menus with UE4. it is caused by Nvidia, reverting back to (in my case studio) driver version 460.89 seems to solve the problem. ๐
shut stump
Hmm, seems like light (basic sky + directional light) can seep trough the cracks of the brush joints, I have a house and I see edges with light seepage, and there's also a line 10 units wide which is quite an error, I guess I have to make joints a bit more solid
timber birch
@shut stump Single planes?
shut stump
Okay so I enlarged the brushes and it fixed top-bottom corner leaking, but that weird line still exits ...
Each edge/corner is covered by 10 units, 4 walls floor and ceiling are one whole brushes, line still exists, any ideas, there's a stairs inside tho, but the stairs don't touch the walls.
EDIT: The line vanished as I did more changes and added another window ...

Anyone know why CameraShake is missing? Ive looked at about 10 tutorials so far and all of them have a CameraShake Class. I do not.
