#

also i'm on a binary build of a custom modified engine version, i guess i have to recompile most of the engine when i remove live coding

#

are you interested in my pipeline file? maybe then you could provide me with some more helpful infos so i can resolve this stupid issue

#

also, dont wonder about jan-replace and buildutils, this is a custom parser that starts up the build tools required for my needs

๐Ÿ“Ž gitlab-ci.yml
#

so, i removed the --scripts-for-project=, -command=VerifySdk -UpdateIfNeeded -EditorIO stuff

#

with AutomationTool.exe it still doesn't work

#

i get the same exception

clear elk
#

so, i guess i just have to rewrite some more code of my editor

#

that will be a long night

#

First of all, i can't use UAT because i'm using GameFeaturePlugins in my project, so i guess i just stay with the current solution, also i tired with UBT, but that gives me a problem at startup of UBT (eventually it does not recognize the project path)

#

i guess i just create a special version just for the ci/cd server without the LCM, since i like the way it works on my personal computer

#

thank you

honest summit
#

anyone knows where i can find the source code for doing the migrate function in the editor?

How many gb is Unreal Engine 5.1 source code

pallid meteor
#

source code alone isn't much. Intermediate/build files and the .git folder if you don't do singlebranch are the main bulk

#

and project templates

#

5.1 can hit over 100gb all considered

nova sleet
#

For a single configuration it's 200gb for me

#

That number is gonna be higher if you build multiple configurations

iron dome
#

The source code itself is quite a lot smaller, though.

#

Anyone able to help me in figuring out why i need to recompile 720 items in the engine every time i make a change in my game module?

#

some things i've changed recently:

  • Did a build as DebugGame Server (it started around this time)
  • Modified Target.cs for Game client and Server
  • Ran a package via RunUAT for both client and server

i made the build unique in the target.cs

Do you think its that?

iirc that's redundant to specify with a source build

Does anyone here have any idea how CookedEditor works? Trying to set it as the target platform in the projectlauncher causes UE to crash because it fails to find the FTargetPlatformInfo for it

As I said - engine compilation stage is fine. Building non binary build is fine, idk why this one doesn't work..

Waiting for new build to fail. Will try after that

#

So I could potentially try to re-target automation tool to 4.6.2 and it should work?

Ok, I'll try to do it this way. Thx!

It actually worked! Thank you! ๐Ÿ™‚

anyone has a list of plugins that shouldn't be removed from the engine?

#

what i mean is, i should be able to remove the google, facebook, speedtree, ... plugins but shouldn't remove plugins for handling content browsers, online subsystem null , etc. in order for my build of the engine to function.

To enable logging in shipping builds I've added to the project.Target.cs:

  BuildEnvironment = TargetBuildEnvironment.Unique;
  bUseLoggingInShipping = true;

But this enables it for compile time, does anyone know if there is a way to toggle logging during run time?

hidden hedge
#

if you enable this compile time flag, it's enabled. you can use the log console command or the -logcmds command line to control the visibility of specific log channels

#

log global none will stop logging for all channels

Has anyone ever ran into an issue where when they build unreal engine source, "LiveCodingConsole.exe" is missing? I'm not getting any errors building 5.1, but LiveCodingConsole.exe is completely missing after a build.

There's probably a project somewhere in the solution (in the programs folder?) that can compile it.

Does anyone know how could I get stringified representation of every blueprint node?

iron dome
#

For what purpose?

#

If you select them all and hit ctrl+c they get copied to the clipboard for your viewing pleasure.

#

(in text form)

jovial meteor
#

I was thinking more automated to put them all in json or text file.

iron dome
#

Oh.

#

I guess? You could iterate every instance of UFunction with the TObjectRange<>

#

But that wouldn't get things like macros or custom nodes.

#

I'm not sure what you could do for those.

jovial meteor
#

Thanks, I will look into that. I'm just brainstorming an idea for blueprint node generator.

pallid path
# jovial meteor I was thinking more automated to put them all in json or text file.

Also look at :

    /**
     * Copies the selected components to the clipboard
     * @param ComponentsToCopy The list of components to copy
     * @param DestinationData Buffer to fill with the copied data, or null to use the clipboard
     */
    static void FComponentEditorUtils::CopyComponents(const TArray<UActorComponent*>& ComponentsToCopy, FString* DestinationData = nullptr);
#

Copies components as string to DestinationData
And then to "paste", again can supply SourceData as string

FComponentEditorUtils::PasteComponents(TArray<UActorComponent*>& OutPastedComponents, AActor* TargetActor, USceneComponent* TargetComponent, const FString* SourceData)

Are you using VAX or R#?

No, but there are massive issue with VS(anything) and not using VAX or R#.

#

I'm confused as to what's happening

snow gorge
#

This has probably been asked before but i couldnt find it searching, does anyone know what issue causes my source to constantly recompile when building only my project in my ide...

for example: after i fully compile the engine source, i open a project and compile that which also decides to compile half the engine again, if i close it and then open a different project to compile it also compiles half the engine again... but then if i open only the source afterwards and compile it, it does a full rebuild as if it was modified...

Prior to 5.1.1 this wasnt an issue for me, also the engine source is completely unchanged

Hi. Trying to make custom Binary UE Build with my version of Unreal for example 5.1-plus instead of custom hash that get assigned after build.
The only things a found is this link https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/using-an-installed-build-of-unreal-engine/ that saying change in manually or VER_UE_NAME_HASHES_SERIALIZED in Source.
Main point that it'd be single Engine Association for .uproject and it'd show my version in Epic Games Launcher instead of "Custom"
Maybe someone has some answers/tips regarding this?
UPD:
Changing BuildId is not recommended by Epic

So I think reason I'm having issues is that when generating project files, it's not including all the engine source directors in the VC++ Include directories

Thank you very much

#

That's partially true, but it should follow the same build rules as anything else. If the source hasn't changed, it shouldn't need to recompile.
My engine build doesn't recompile every time I build.

snow gorge
#

Im only building the different projects for developement editor currently which before 5.1.1 just built the project without rebuilding the engine source which took about 30s each time i switched between projects... i think i may have an idea of the issue but i will need to check it later to be sure

#

I may have changed the build target rule from 5.1 to Latest without remembering, perhaps that caused it

smoky goblet
#

Could people not be setting up source builds properly? Admittedly my evidence is anecdotal, but in my experience with two source builds (one at work and one at home) neither one ever builds anything I don't expect it to.
Or was it a change as of 5.1.1? both my source builds are still earlier than that.

smoky goblet
#

I'm just talking in generalities. I just follow the directions and it all seems to work out fine.
I've done it wrong previously and ended up with stuff in source control that wasn't supposed to be there.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were other ways that someone could subtly mess it up.
I guess I'll see what I get when I update to 5.2.

So I'm running the automation tool to create an installable build from ue5-main

#

because i want to redistribute the engine build to team members at an acceptable size

#

However it's now been running for almost 24 hours

#

it's long done compiling and now seems to do a lot of additional things

#

And the Local build "engine" folder it has created is still at over 100GB

#

D:\Dev\UnrealProjects\UnrealEngine\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script="Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml" -clean -set:HostPlatformOnly=true -set:WithWin64=true -set:WithLinux=false -set:WithLinuxArm64=false -set:WithMac=false -set:WithMacArm64=false -set:WithAndroid=false -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithHoloLens=false

#

i ran this command

#

is there anything i can do where it just creates the build for me without all these additional things it seems to be doing?

#

and also is there a way to avoid the engine to take up 100GB+?

#

it's now been doing this, sth with shader compilation. I assume its some kind of automated test

Hello all. I have a quick question about unreal source build for creating dedicated server builds. Our current perforce that our team uses is just plain old unreal 5.1. In order for us to use perforce and Jenkins to do automated builds does it require that our shared perforce project is unreal source build? I wanted to create a game farm building pipeline via this amazon doc: https://catalog.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/workshops/43e96ac6-6d4f-4d99-af97-3ac2a5987391/en-US/020-build-farms

If we did switch our current project to a source build does that mean everyone on the team needs to sync the source build? It is pretty heavy and an additional 40GB from its normal 5.1 counterpart. Can it be a source build on perforce without everyone having to sync all the source build files?

#

This also manages precompiled builds by changelist, which is really nice for its own reasons

#

UGS can also be distributed to team members through a .msi installer, then after that, setup is pretty similar to logging into perforce and setting a workspace

#

This way, our artists and designers never need to build the engine locally from scratch, and the most recent, successfully built binaries are always available to them

hallow light
# zinc anchor <@924922492169101313> our team makes use of UnrealGameSync and then have our CI ...

Thanks so much for the reply...I actually tried following a tutorial and doc on Unreal Game Sync and had a ton of issues. I tried building the visual studio solution for Unreal Game Sync and it wouldn't even build and had a ton of errors. It seems like the docs are very specific to unreal 4 but I'm working in unreal 5. I guess I will look into it more and research more but I ran into a lot of issues right off the bat that pretty much put a halt to using Game Sync.

zinc anchor
#

hmm yeah; for what it's worth, we are using UnrealGameSync to deploy 5.1 from source

hallow light
zinc anchor
#

for sure; I remember when I first started getting this set up, I had to refer to a few different places. To help you out, I can try to gather all of that info together to get you on your way faster. My take is that if you can get UGS to work for you, it will save a lot of engineering time vs trying to roll your own homebrewed method

hallow light
hidden hedge
#

and if you still run into issues, you can ask here about it

#

I've also deployed UGS in the past

hallow light
#

Any docs or resources you find I would greatly appreciate shooting my way.

hidden hedge
#

well I forked the UGS metadata server to use .NET 6 so you don't need Windows/IIS

#

after I found a .NET 5 fork, that I forked

#

but the metadata server is not required for it to work

hallow light
#

@zinc anchor So here is my issue. The docs you sent me already assume you have UGS setup but I can't even get it setup. I go to this path in my unreal source build and per instructions from a Youtube video I saw, you need to build the solution in Visual Studio. I find the solution here: C:\UnrealEngine-release\Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealGameSync I found the .sln and When I try to build I get these errors.

well it works

#

kind of, needed to fix crash in engine ;

#

it can't handle deeply customized class layouts/properties by default

iron dome
#

What crash?

#

The biggest problem with the details panel layouts, tbh, is that if your custom layout is higher than the available height, the scroll bar fucks up.

thick storm
#

it crashed somewhere in engine on nullptr property node

iron dome
#

That doesn't mean it's an engine bug.

heady sparrow
iron dome
#

He hasn't mentioned anything about fixing it or whether that fix came from engine code or his code. And a "bug" in engine code can simply be his code using the engine code incorrectly and fixing it can mean that way of using it has been accounted for.

heady sparrow
#

well, I'm going to assume iniside did something right here instead of questioning the simple null check they added

iron dome
#

...or maybe I missed the bit about it being fixed.

heady sparrow
#

I was getting a lot of control rig stuff earlier on but that was indeed probably just outdated nodes being present

#

like, the core select node got replaced

#

the most "not sure if actually intended" change I made recently was giving the pcg volume a component wrapper UCLASS specifier

#

I'm curious if epic has any CI tests running on their builds because there are a lot of pushes that don't compile

#

which in fairness is probably mostly the lack of the true full p4 repo

#

I would rather see cool new stuff than wait for them to shape up every commit anyways

iron dome
#

There's a whole system for not-compiling-code called horde. It tests everything in every configuration and complains mightily if things don't work.

#

And you need a valid horde test result id to submit code to the main repo.

#

But it still fails sometimes. Code can be submitted while tests are being carried out etc.

heady sparrow
#

I guess with the whole supporting 10 different platforms just compiling is not enough

iron dome
#

It uses clang afaik

heady sparrow
#

ah

edgy seal
#

Understood. i assume there's a command sth like -set:WithDDC=false to avoid building the DDC and save a lot of GB as well as time building the DDC pack.

It now ended up succeeding, but the local build is 200GB in size and took 2-3 days instead of the 12 hours when i just compile.

The way i understood it, i just need to somehow DDC generation and then it would compile much quicker and the localbuilds would be much smaller?

copy engine source to p4, the project must be next to the engine. look at the example build graph script for preparing your editor build, make sure it targets the ProjectNameEditor target instead of UnrealEditor. pick a place in p4 to submit the binaries zip to.

then configure everything though UnrealGameSync.ini

Thank you :)!

You have to build UGS app yourself too. It's a separate sln IIRC. But this is all one time setup stuff. After that, upgrading/modifying engine is simple.

When using Unreal Game Sync with perforce does it require you to have the source build of unreal engine on perforce?

hidden hedge
#

the project should be a subdirectory of the engine root (the root being where the GeneratedProjectFiles.bat file is)

In the past, I've had a workflow of keeping the clean engine source in a separate depot, and then integrating it into the game depot to keep upgrades easy

TArrayView const correctness will be enforced with tobjectptr it seems

# 
/*
    MutableView: safely obtain temporary mutable access to a TObjectPtr's
                             underlying storage.

    Eg:

    void MutatingFunc(TArray<UObject*>& MutableArray);

    TArray<TObjectPtr<UObject>> Array;
    MutatingFunc(Array);                             // unsafe; compile error

    MutatingFunc(MutableView(Array));             // ok; Array will safely "catch up" on TObjectPtr
                                                                                 // semantics when MutatingFunc returns.

const in a tarrayview makes perfect sense to me at least

#

not sure why it needs to be explicit instead of the one in every return value of tarrayview

Anyone familiar with Sequencer modding & the Demo Replay system?
I'd like to be able to make high quality gameplay footage and the best way I can think to do that is being able to add a demo replay as a sequencer "shot" so I can scrub through and clip portions of the demo replay. Would also be nice to attach cameras to various actors from the replay as well.
Biggest concern I have is that the sequencer stuff doesn't seem to work fully in a PIE environment, meaning the replay system would need to be able to operate from just the editor and I'm not sure what kind of undertaking it would be to add that functionality to it.

Is there a relatively straight forward system for adding additional keyboard shortcuts? I'd like to add the functionality to open and close the world outliner tab. For clarification, I'm not talking about new bindings that you set Editor Preferences. I want to add new shortcuts that will then show up there ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Or at least a system for doing that without needing to make engine modifications. Whether it's straight forward or not dictates whether I do it today or not :p

It looks like ya just make a class inheriting from TCommands<>, add a static TSharedRef< FUICommandList > ActionList; to it, add a TSharedPtr< FUICommandInfo > YourCommand; for all your desired commands, then map them to the ActionList in RegisterCommands() and finish with a FGlobalEditorCommonCommands::MapActions(ActionList); think neat

So I finally managed to compile 5.2 with the critical bugfix from ue5-main that we needed. It works fine and eliminates a huge roadblock for us, so thanks to everyone in here for the help โค๏ธ

#

I want to now distribute it to the team. It sits at 150 GB without Intermediate and Saved. And I was thinking that the simplest way to bring it down in size would be to delete all the .pdb files and .pch files, which seem to cause the bloat mostly.

#

Is that a good idea?

#

And also, the best way to do this would be with a batch script i assume

summer pelican
edgy seal
#

I will now just use xcopy with /exclude

#

I think i can skip .PCH, .PDB

#

i'm not sure if i can also skip .A and .SO

#

The problem with installed build is that it takes ages and it's not trivial to understand the configurations etc correctly

#

maybe even .OBJ could be excluded

edgy seal
#

It takes 3x as long as the non-installable build tho ๐Ÿ˜„

#

so i was hoping there'd be a faster way

#

but i just learnt that just copying the folder does not work

#

getting the bDoesPathExist crash

#

so i might not have another choice but an installable build.

#

D:\Dev\UnrealProjects\UnrealEngine\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script="Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml" -clean -set:HostPlatformOnly=true -set:WithWin64=true -set:WithLinux=false -set:WithLinuxArm64=false -set:WithMac=false -set:WithMacArm64=false -set:WithAndroid=false -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithHoloLens=false -set:WithDDC=false -set:WithFullDebugInfo=false

#

hoping this will do the trick

ruby vale
#

Ok, so I can do this

UEdGraphPin* Pin = Node->FindPin(TEXT("ParamName"));
FString PinValue = Pin->DefaultValue;

to get the value of a pin if the value is directly typed into the node, but how can I get the value if it comes from a variable that's connected to the pin?

thick storm
#

you need to walk back to find K2Node which store value

#

you can find what is connected to pin, and then you need do bunch of casts for specific K2Nodes to extract value

#

unfortunetly there is no single function for all nodes to get their value

edgy seal
#

thank you, worked fine ๐Ÿ˜„

edgy seal
#

Finally got a 20 GB Build I can distribute to the team

#

it fixes the problem that had blocked us

Any info about improving ue5 hair and cloth simulation on github?

I feel like maybe being able to keyframe hair and cloth and then simulate over the keyframing or be able to keyframe after simulation to correct certain thigs could be a thing.

queen ridge
edgy seal
#

I've distributed an installed engine build to other team members

#

It works fine on my PC

#

on team member's pc, it just closes/crashes after compiling shaders

#

however there is no crash report nor log file

#

also anytime the UnrealEditor is started again, it again compiles shaders again

#

wonder if it is because it has nowhere to save those compiled shaders and thats why it crashes?

#

no idea whats happening

#

I understand. This means re-running automation tool with -set:WithDDC=true?
Or is there another way i could share the DDC?

#

Thank you

it was always there. You can group plugin into folders in content browser ๐Ÿ˜„

Anyone have had a similar crash and fixed it? Can't seem to find anything about FMemoryWriter. Crashes the project anytime i open up a big world partitioned level.

image.png
#

I also don't know where i can switch it to use the 64bit version instead of 32bit. Seems like i'm using 32bit and that doesn't support anything larger than 2gb, but i also don't know what these files are and if i can even remove them without breaking my project

desert olive
#

The forum pages said to use compress lightmaps in world settings as well as level instances to reduce build size, that might fix this error. But i'm using world partition with packed level instances with compressed lightmaps ticked on.

#

still getting this issue

#

another thing i'm trying right now is rebuilding map data. If that doesn't help i'm kinda out of solutions atm

desert olive
#

Maybe. I sure hope not.

#

Currently going back step by step with git to see where it stopped working

bright plover
#

engine source seems to run slower

#

im unsure tho

#

it always crashes aswell

#

i have a pretty big map 64 sqkm2 everytime i try to load this map it just crashes, mid load or 5 to 10 mins after, so i wonder if launcher version comes with less bloat and thats why it runs better or am i just trippin, UE 5.2 on launcher was 90Fps High Settings, source is 30Fps Mid and Low settings.

bright plover
desert olive
# bright plover wow man same issue haha

Yeah trying to figure out the issue as we speak. For my project it is either Fmod related or a static mesh related issue where the engine can't build it correctly and crashes. Literally freezes on trying to build a 300mb mesh.

#

You should check your engine build logs and see where it get stuck before sending out a crash log

#

or vice versa

bright plover
#

yea i figured

#

you using nanite?

desert olive
#

Yes but have not seen that error before

desert olive
#

had to delete it out of the level and the project.

bright plover
#

Man i think the issue lies deeper here to be honest

#

Atleast for me, whatever i do thats like demanding it breaks. I think someone injested a fucking bug into the engine, a unity dev or someone

Hey - If I want to make a PR into UE, what's the proper flow?

I made one a while back (forked the repo, PR'ed into master) but it got completely ignored: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/7942

Did I miss doing something? Do I need to notify or tag it with something proper?

I need a couple functionalities, which actually make sense and I'm not sure how to PR them in order for them to not get ignored again (as I see there are a lot of open PRs). Any suggestions?

quick mica
prisma lark
#

I need them implemented for a plugin I'm developing so I need them to eventually become part of UE ๐Ÿ™‚

quick mica
#

I see. do you call the function, or is it from some other code you call? If you call the function, just write your own version, should be faster than hoping for it to be fixed^^

prisma lark
#

I need 2 things:

  1. A way to remove default headers from the HTTPModule
  2. A way to process fragment URL params in the HttpServerModule

Not sure if I could use a function in my own plugin to do those things, especially the second

quick mica
#

Shruggo I don't know, just saying that relying on your changes becoming part of the engine either might take or won't happen at all. So I'd look for other solutions.

prisma lark

I see, thanks for the input - it sounds like the workflow is something along the lines of PR and pray ๐Ÿคฃ

I was directed here from #cpp anyone run into no member named 'FIntVector4' in namespace 'ispc' when trying to compile the engine? no changes just git pulled, ran the ./Setup.sh then the ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh then ran make. this happens on the release branch and 5.2 manjaro/arch linux here

#

Just asking, are there any good tutorials that explain how to add stuff to the UE5's Source Code, like C# scripting?

#

other than just compling the source code and seening how it all works?

heady sparrow
#

integrating another language into a C++ game engine is not something you are going to find a video on, but the specific term of "binding" scripting languages to C++ and vice versa might come up with something?

#

epic decided to not go with a first party C# binding mostly due to the differences in memory layout iirc... I would need to dig up the thread

#

there are a few more scripting language integrations floating around but I'm not going to look

pliant remnant
heady sparrow
#

UBT is not the engine

#

UBT is a completely separate program

#

it's almost certainly possible in a sense but... not as simple as you think it is

pliant remnant
heady sparrow
#

build system != game engine

#

here's another example of a C# integration

#

I'm going to say this is... scary to say the least

#

I always imagine spending months working on a project while having to maintain a scripting integration that could be dropped at any time

# 
                Shared::SkeletalMeshComponentFunctions[head++] = (void*)&UnrealCLRFramework::SkeletalMeshComponent::IsPlaying;
                Shared::SkeletalMeshComponentFunctions[head++] = (void*)&UnrealCLRFramework::SkeletalMeshComponent::GetAnimationInstance;

The vast majority of code is written and verified by hand to prevent any unexpected behaviors at runtime and to ensure stability.

#

very, very cool but also maybe not worth the suffering when it causes issues

fading dagger
#

Does anyone happen to know how the ScopedMovementUpdate.cpp works? I am curious about the architecture and how the Scene Component (Root) moves and updates transforms of Child attach components (Primitives etc).

west dune
#

Does anyone have an idea on how to package assets in a specific pakchunk ID with its own GUID and key? I'm looking to use a commandlet.

heady sparrow
#

the main confusion will be when it has to move information to the physics thread imo

# 
FScopedMovementUpdate::~FScopedMovementUpdate()
{
    if (bDeferUpdates && IsValid(Owner))
    {
        Owner->EndScopedMovementUpdate(*this);
    }
    Owner = nullptr;
}```
#

to be clear "scoped" here means it works based on the actual C++ scope

#

so the goal is to make it only actually do the expensive work when it leaves scope (the ~destructor overload)

#

seems like scene components have a ScopedMovementStack which can have more than one

#

the reason for stuff like this: Unreal scene components are super super expensive to update the positions of

#

they do a lot of work individually

#

so this is an effort to have you able to sort of defer that massive work until later

#

I think it tries to only actually move the component when the queue is empty

fading dagger
heady sparrow
fading dagger
#

@heady sparrow yeah you mean when the object leaves that scope created it will call that objects destructor etc.

#

I never came across or understood why or when you'd wanna create a new scope within a function or something to do something like that.

#

but yea that deferral you mentioned on how unreal does it makes sense.

#

I've also seen it when I spent some time writing RDG shader passes

vast narwhal
#

i built the engine from source for the first time, i can create projects but they don't open by themselves, when i try to open the project, via opening thru the engine project browser, or the .uproject file itself, it just gives me the warning to build the project from source, doing that results in unsuccessful build

        // Init logging to disk
        FPlatformOutputDevices::SetupOutputDevices();
    }

I'm wondering if there are any noticable side effects if I
a) comment it out and call it again later into my game
b) recall it again at a later time within my games lifetime

Someone got dlss working on source?

#

So what's the flow for reloading game code on top of building UE from source? Is it live coding? Rebuilding from VS? Restarting the editor each time? ๐Ÿ’€

static kite
#

So after building UE from source, it no longer picks up me building game code in VS with hot reloads. Nor can I get Live coding to work. Ctrl+Alt+F11 does nothing, and the button is just gone from the bottom. The only way it seems for me to recompile code is to relaunch the editor from VS

image.png
#

Any ideas?

fading dagger
#

The Run Configuration should be Your Project name

#

Then w/e Build configuration. Likely DebugGame Editor Development etc

static kite
#

Yeah, I'm launching from the game's sln. With the game as the start up project

#

Development Editor configuration

fading dagger
#

Then when you make code changes just compile the project don't worry about the Live coding

static kite
#

Unfortunately it requires a restart of UE for them to take. I'm not getting the normal Hot Reload chirp I used to when building the game project

fading dagger
#

when I have a engine source project version compiled and doing a game project with engine source I never use the live coding

static kite
#

I don't mind not using live coding, but hot reloading isn't working either

#

Trying to find a faster iteration speed than fully relaunching UE every time ๐Ÿ˜…

fading dagger
#

you kinda wanna avoid hot reloading in general

static kite
#

So do you relaunch UE every time as well then?

fading dagger
#

yes

#

reason for this is because there is alot of stuff

#

going on before the editor starts

#

Live coding does work tho

#

for me

#

but I dont use it

#

On the other hand it should be working for you

static kite
#

Funny thing, I ended up using VS2022 (with the sln still versioned for 2019) and it seems to work now

Late reply, but I solved it. Apparently the 5.1.1 source has a compiler warning on debug builds because of a piece of code that normally gets compiled out (but not in debug), and with warnings being treated as errors, it didn't emit the module, causing the linker error

I have UnrealGameSync set up and working on one computer but then when I go to pull down the project from perforce and run Setup.bat and try to GenerateProjectFiles I get 76 errors about missing packages. I also get the same 76 errors when trying to sync using UGS. Has anyone come across this? I am not sure what to do if I canโ€™t even run the GenerateProjectFiles.bat.

each client/user of UGS should not have to run Setup.bat

If you DID already do that, maybe you need to install additional components of visual studio

I did see a post with someone having the exact same problem but the issue is that most people on my team wonโ€™t have visual studio so they canโ€™t do this to get it working. https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/can-not-generate-project-files/694601

#

yeah so the people who don't want to build (designers/artists etc) they use UGS to sync the precompiled binaries and they do not need to run GenerateProjectFiles.bat

#

you need either a build machine or one of your programmers to run the script to build binaries and upload them for UGS

#

then they can be downloaded by other users

hallow light
calm mason
#

no there's a checkbox in the settings to enable Sync Precompiled Binaries that is off by default

#

I suspect that in this case the problem is that Setup.bat was not run before uploading Engine to p4

I can 100% confirm that the artists on my team do not need Visual Studio installed.

Question about C++ lambda functions and Unreal Engine. Since Lambda functions are inlined I notice they aren't debug-able. I did see something about C++ versions that might allow this ability. Has anyone had experience with this?

iron dome
#

Lambdas are debuggable just fine.

#

Depending on your compile configuration, of course.

#

Just dont do this:

[](){ stuff };```
do this:
```cpp
[]()
{
  stuff
};```
#

Also never do [&]

#

It's just lazy. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

fading dagger
#

I'm debugging the Engines Lamdas used in the shader and graphics pipeline and it does jump over the scope

iron dome
#

Have you compiled in Debug Editor?

#

Not Debug Game Editor or Development Editor.

fading dagger
#

ofcourse

#

Debug Game

#

editor

#

I also added some debug flags

nova sleet
#

Debug Game Editor will only compile your game code in the debug config and engine code in development config

#

And all lambdas in the engine code will be inlined and not debuggable

fading dagger
#

that's what I thought it was the inlining

#

hmm

#

dumb question but

#

do I need to make a special solution configuration for just Debug Editor?

#

I only see DebugGame Editor in the presets

#

I am using Rider btw

nova sleet
#

You don't see this option?

fading dagger
#

no

#

I have source

too

nova sleet
#

Was about to ask if it's a source build or launcher build

fading dagger
#

I have both

#

I should be using the source version

#

in my project

nova sleet
#

I can't remember if debug editor is available in launcher builds, I haven't used launcher builds in years

fading dagger
#

Ya I don't touch it either

#

cuz I like to learn about how the engine works

#

and debug it

#

look here

#

UE_5.1 is my source build

#

version

#

I have two folders one with launch and UE_5.1 is the source build version

#

it might be pointing to the launcher

#

actually

nova sleet
#

hmm if you have a source built engine (from github) you should definitely have the debug editor option

fading dagger
#

let me clear the project and recreate the solution and select the engine

nova sleet
#

k

fading dagger
#

It looks like yes I am dumb here and it was not set to the correct engine project

I pulled a source engine project using Unreal game sync and then ran Setup.bat successfully but then when I try to launch the editor it stops at 75% and closes. No matter how many times I open it it stops there and closes. Has anyone experienced this?

#

I have tried two ways. One I tried launching the editor from unreal game sync and also going straight to the .uproject in my file explorer and both have the same result. I try to open the editor and it starts loading. It loads all the shaders and then gets to 75% and the closes and nothing happens after that.

the unsync error is from a public/local variable sharing same name and the shader dx bug, had to point to the location directly

#

I'm still getting all these warnings tho

spark jetty

Ahhh. Interesting. All I did was open the binary for the engine after it failed to make sure it would still open. Then rebuilt. So maybe opening that found the proper directory.

fallen root

for some reason it doesn't realize I'm using windows

I used to get those in vs too.

I did not try opening the binary, didn't think it would open because of the 2 compile errors

Itโ€™s an ide that focuses more on game dev than vs. just all around more geared for specifically game dev.

fallen root
#

hmm

iron dome
#

Vs is pretty shit at UE code without either vax or resharper.

#

Resharper is basically rider, but in vs. So pick your poison.

#

However, neither of these ides affect how your code is compiled, that's all done by the UE build system and it doesn't care about your ide or your settings.

#

Unless you specifically change the build commands/environment.

#

Also you should, and this is recommended by epic, close the errors list tab in vs and open, and use exclusively, the output tab to deal with compile errors. The same goes for rider.

I'm pretty sure the other export options you're seeing in 4.20 has been deprecated in 5.2. The minimum requirements for mobile in 5.2 is OpenGL ES 3.2 and Android 8.

UnrealGameSync shows me this error message now. It was already showing before 5.2 and it was working before, but now it doesn't anymore. Maybe it has something to do with Windows updated there Time format and .Net version of the UnrealGameSync C# project isn't up to date?

@stable hemlockYes I am using a fresh engine source build using the release branch the day of 5.2 being released

Packaging this time seems to be stuck too. I was trying to do it in DebugEditor this time to see if I could get more info about the crash... maybe I need to switch back to Development Editor to cook / package

Would it help to simplify things if I removed support for certain default platforms? I will never push my games to mobile at this time, so I don't need android support

#

or iOS support

#

I am not sure how to do that with a source build. The launcher makes it easy as just unchecking boxes

#

Ok with a quick google that seems involved and adding an extra set of variables to this whole thing. I'll revisit this idea.

#

by command line, do you mean run the RunUAT.bat file?

#

e.g.

call .\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat BuildCookRun -nop4 -project
#

Is this right? Do I need to check anything else?

#

I noticed that it says Allowed AutoSDK Version and then lists one of the ones I have unchecked... I am not sure if that really means anything

it looks like it does see an allowed SDK version though, indicated on the second line

I'm using UE 5.2, so not sure if that will still work, but I'll give it a shot

Well, it's never a bad time to start. SVN works fine. Get TortoiseSVN, and make a little practice project with it, not even Unreal, just like a folder and some text files, and play around with it. The idea is for you to have a history of all your changes. If you mess something up, you can always Revert and get back to a working state. It makes collaboration with other people possible, and is great for solo devs as well because of this 'backup' feature where you don't have to worry about messing up. ( Like right now, I would say it might be easier to just Revert to yesterdays state, instead of trying to figure out how to fix a very hard-to-trace error )

#

Once you are comfortable with the idea, you can move forwards to versioning your Unreal project. Be sure to read instructions carefully and ignore all the folders like Intermediate, Binaries and Saved.

#

All that said, I think we are in the wrong channel. You are probably not using the source version of the unreal engine. Look carefully for relevant channels to your problems.

While building a packaged shipped version of 5.2 from source - I get the following message during the build process:

The packaging completes fine. But when I search all source files for Unreal5_0 - it doesnt exist anywhere as a setting. When I check BootstrapPackagedGame.Target.cs - it is also not there.

Now, I know I could probably add the setting as it describes to fix the error. But what I'm confused about is - where is the Unreal5_0 coming from if the text doesnt exist in any of the files (apart from the case selector for the message itself)? Any why is that the engine default and not Unreal5_2?

#

ok - I just worked it out. It defaults to EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Oldest, which is set to Unreal5_0.

Why would that be the default in a 5.2 source build? Why wouldnt Epic start with the latest?

Hey I'm tryin to build a source build right now and I'm havin trouble with a Boost library being missing.. is that something I need to download externally? It's an oculus fork source build of 5.1 ...

#

also should I be using visual studio 2022 or 2019 for a source build of UE5? I tried using 2019 but it told me it needed dotnet version 6 and that it's not supported in visual studio 2019

so now I'm using 2022

Hello, unsure if this is the best place to pose this question but is there any good resource to reference disk locations that unreal needs read and write access to to operate? I'm IT for a firm that is starting to lean into Unreal as a tool and having a hard time getting it running for restricted users. It only wants to run for Admins and it looks that's because it's writing something to a protected disk area during run. Say Program Files for example.

#

I found another admin having a similar issue and isolated one example of such a cache file in ue4. But with us in ue5 i figure that's likely the same issue, but different location/files

As far as I can work out this only happens once after it is instantiated and the constructor sets this as false. I expected it to be reset after every tick (or async tick) so that new forces/impulses applied in game code is taken in and processed. Can't figure out how this works.

repost from #ue5-general:

I'm making a monorepo with engine and future game projects in it, on Azure DevOps because it has free LFS

I at first attempted to simply push a branch from Unreal's GitHub repo there, but after repeated failed attempts due to other problems (rpc rewinds, needing to faff around with the protocol settings, massive pain) I finally ran into one last error: a single push must be under 5gb, which is less than any single branch from the unreal git repo

so, I'm going to simply extract source zips for individual releases and commit them to a branch epic-upstream and then have my main be branched off that

I lose Unreal's git history doing this, which means upstreaming my tweaks is going to be difficult, but I can always just git diff to make traditional patch files then apply those to GitHub forks

Is this still okay with the eula? If I gain another team member, will I be able to give access to my engine and games repo without it being part of what the eula calls "Unreal's GitHub fork network"? I believe the relevant terms are You may Distribute Engine Code (including as modified by you) in Source Code or object code to a third party who is separately licensed by us to use the same version of the Engine Code that you are Distributing.

proven nest
#

Actually this is incredibly silly

if I can get the web importer to work (it's failed twice now) to get the full engine repo on there that'd be really nice

or maybe just use my free credit to setup something on digitalocean, perforce, svn, whatever

Looking for some K2 help.
Is there a way to dynamically create blueprint menu actions contextualized to the blueprint & graph? I see that actions for K2Node_InputAction are just created globally and then hidden on the basis of whether the graph & blueprint support input actions, but I'd like to have the ability to have a menu items generated based on what blueprint / graph is being edited.
Would I just need to fudge it by regenerating menu actions for that node type based on some event so that the global BlueprintActionDatabase is contextualized to the current graph?

I suppose something more equivalent would be a function's local variables or a class' variables.

For posterity: You have to look at how BlueprintActionDatabase does it and hack your own solution via EntryRefreshDelegate

Ok I'm at my limit. I downloaded a fresh copy of the release branch (5.2), I ran the setup.bat without a problem, I ran the generateprojectfiles.bat without a problem, I built the UE5 project (~6.2k files) and it launched without an issue. Now when I switched the version of my project to use this one (previously used 5.1 source), first it built some 2.6k files for some reason when trying to launch it and at the end it failed citing these as the errors. I doubt it has anything to do with the plugins I use as they work on the 5.2 binary build from the epic store. Also now when I press to launch the source build of the engine (on its own, without opening a project) it wants to rebuild all 6k files yet again. I changed these settings in my .target files as instructed by some warnings when building it a couple tries ago. Mind you I tried the ue5-main branch (which was apparently 5.3) and it seemed to work, but I don't want to use 5.3 until it's out

Well, the way to get the exclusions into source control would be:

  • revert to a clean slate;
  • run Setup.bat again, but this time with exclusions (search for Setup.bat in this server's history and look for long lists of -exclude=s, removing the ones you need the files for);
  • run whatever procedure your VCS uses to detect changes and remove the missing files (Reconcile Offline Work in Perforce).
    And you're only supposed to compile as much of the engine as your project needs, see: #engine-source message (ie, have the indicated folder structure, run GenerateProjectFiles.bat then in UE5.sln only build your game target, not the whole solution, and it will only bring in the necessary dependencies).

Quick Question, I've added some uassets into the content folder of Unreal Engine, I did some reading about how the content folder does some sort of caching when uassets are added to a game module content folder where deletion of the intermediate, binary folders and regeneration the project files is required. Since I am adding to the Engine content folder I assume I need to do the same here. To do a fresh regen of the Engine using that batch scirpt. With Unreal are there any extra folders I need to delete before running the batch scrip? I see Build and Extras do these also get regenerated after calling the batch file?

#

looking at the repo I do see only Intermediate and Saved Missing, so I'll take that as the folders

#

Content folder is probably downloaded seperately since it's just binary files

dry sierra
#

HasReplciatedProperties dreadful misspell within the new Uht ๐Ÿ˜‰

fading dagger
#

@stable hemlock So I placed a uasset inside the engine Content folder. I have added some engine code to the Renderer Source and they compile fine with the engine along side The RENDER_API class macro. In my cpp file I just create a Engine Subsystem which I use to load that asset from that content folder.

void UCustomLensFlareSystem::Initialize(FSubsystemCollectionBase& Collection)
{
    Super::Initialize(Collection);
    //--------------------------------
    // Data asset loading
    //--------------------------------
    
    FString Path = "LensFlareAsset'/Engine/LensFlareAssets/LensFlareAsset.LensFlareAsset'";
    FlareAsset = LoadObject<ULensFlareAsset>(nullptr, *Path);
    check(FlareAsset);
}

However this will return a nullptr. Despite this if I create a plugin with its own content folder and run this same code it a plugin it will load the asset fine. Not sure if this is the correct way to load a Data Asset for what I am doing. The purpose of loading this DataAsset object is so I can make use of the UI interface and adjust values at runtime for changing shader behavior. Any thoughts on how I can load this uasset properly?

fading dagger
#

I am doing a custom engine mod to extend the post processing pass for unreal lens flare system, so I am using that asset to read data and bind to a shader.

Overall 5.2.1 is nice and snappy for us (editor), slightly slower than 5.1 in game (might be from disabling GC Clustering)
Hopefully they fix the GC bug in 5.2.2, or in 5.2.1 when they release on the launcher...

Hello, is there a guide on how to extend the editor with other features?
Like I want to add a custom Volume like the Nav Mesh Volume, add additional processing to be done when the user builds a level etc.
I suppose I need to extend UE to do that, right?

iron dome
#

Sort of? You probably don't need the source, though.

#

You can add custom volume just by creating a new volume class.

#

And there are probalby events you can subscribe to for building lighting and whatnot.

lament garnet
#

The idea is processing the level geometry like the nav mesh does, so I wondered if I were able to do that at build/run time without building UE.
Not that it's an issue, just a step more to do.

iron dome
#

Sure, why not?

#

How you do it, though? Not a clue.

#

Check how the nav mesh volume does it.

lament garnet
#

How, don't know yet, it's an idea that I would love to implement and I'm in the "resource gathering phase" as I've never used UE before

iron dome
#

I suggest learning UE before you think of modying it.

lament garnet
#

Absolutely, but "learning UE" is such a broad concept ๐Ÿ˜†
That's why I asked here if there's a way to do that without modifying it.

I'll toy a bit with Editor Modules I guess? And hook into Pre Build events etc.
