Sorry, not sure I get it. You should normally have a .exe, a pair of manifest files, a Binaries and GameName folder.

median minnow Jun 20, 2022, 10:50 AM

i got the win no editor folder, then with the actual game, and again a Folder called by the GAme where the whole unrel engine project is in with a own exe and content folder and so on

#

How did you package?

median minnow Jun 20, 2022, 11:14 AM

#

with the projectlauncher

mellow bane Jun 20, 2022, 11:16 AM

#

Check your options then

median minnow Jun 20, 2022, 11:34 AM

#

#

@mellow bane maybe create chunks?

#

or store all content in an uepak file?

mellow bane Jun 20, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

You want that anyway but that's not the issue

#

Tick "for distribution", check with the simple File->Package method

Does Nativize on Packaging, helps for performance and reliability? or is it causing new fresh stinky bugs?

winged moss Jun 20, 2022, 4:18 PM

#

well it's pretty much removed in UE5

#

and it does cause weird bugs with the event driven loader

#

it may marginally improve performance with certain blueprints, like the ABP

median minnow Jun 20, 2022, 4:19 PM

weel then i igore it better

mystic atlas Jun 21, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

Build in a different configuration

#

Debug Game Editor will build debug symbols for your game, but not the engine

#

Debug Editor will include the engine

#

Shipping won't make debug symbols or, at the very most, minimal ones.

winged moss Jun 21, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

mystic atlas Shipping won't make debug symbols or, at the very most, minimal ones.

untrue

#

they're symbols for optimised code but they're still symbols

mystic atlas Jun 21, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

I did say minimal ones!

winged moss Jun 21, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

minimal would mean something like stripped symbols, but they're not stripped either

mystic atlas Jun 21, 2022, 5:48 PM

Not as useful as debug or development symbols, better? 😦

mellow bane Jun 22, 2022, 6:06 AM

#

mystic atlas Not as useful as debug or development symbols, better? 😦

I mean they really are just as useful though

#

No meaningful difference with Development, both are optimized code that's harder to debug than Debug

#

They also include both game and engine

Hi there
I have a problem about packaging in .aab

I am a student. My class and I made an Android game with Unreal Engine 4.27. We have to ship and upload it on Google Play Store (and now it accepts only .aab). But the packaging fails with the error you can see in the linked image
Usually we make normal (.apk) ships and it still works. The error occurs only for .aab, so I think Android Studio and Java are good. But I may be wrong

Do you have any solution or suggestion?

slow karma Jun 23, 2022, 7:24 AM

I succeeded resolving the error
I generated a new keystore with a different alias, applied the new parameter values in project settings and the packaging has good ending

Can someone help me figure out what this means?? I'm an an old 4.22 version and I have no idea what it is and I've packaged this game fine for 3 years. Since the last packaging I've only been working on implementing a complex widget in C++.

Can it be from an include that should be used with Editor-only modules?

Adding "PrecompileForTargets = PrecompileTargetsType.Any" to "EditorStyle.Build.cs" also doesn't work, it gets the same error anyway, maybe I have to recompile the entire engine for it to work

#

Full error:

ERROR: Missing precompiled manifest for 'EditorStyle'. This module was most likely not flagged for being included in a precompiled build - set 'PrecompileForTargets = PrecompileTargetsType.Any;' in EditorStyle.build.cs to override.
PackagingResults: Error: Missing precompiled manifest for 'EditorStyle'. This module was most likely not flagged for being included in a precompiled build - set 'PrecompileForTargets = PrecompileTargetsType.Any;' in EditorStyle.build.cs to override.

Edit: Solution is that my uproject file included a dependency on an Editor module, which is not allowed. In my case it was "UMGEditor". Removing this and re-loading the solution resolved the issue. Also, you shouldn't have your own stuff there at all, all those modules should be moved to the Build.cs file, found in Source\ProjectName\ProjectName.Build.cs in the list with PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange

Enable Android Runtime Permission plugin
Enable Google Play Subsystem Plugin

The issue is one of the plugins you need are disabled. Either you disabled it intentionally or it was already disabled.

A wild guess… Did you disable any plugins? It happened to me when I randomly disable all the plugins I thought I don’t need. Maybe you should check the plugins to see if there’s anything related with vr but disabled.

So I was looking at my "CookerOpenOrder.log" file there I see that all of my custom game feature plugins and all of their data are getting cooked. However when I load up the game none of those assets are being loaded. Which is confusing because I don't get any cook or build errors nor warnings about the assets in my game feature plugins

I upgraded my project from UE4.27 ---> UE5 . after packaging the project for windows client target and running the exe file this message box appears .
BTW my engine is source version. any idea what is going on ? this module is my main game module .

Migrating from 4.27 ---> 5.0 was so much painful.

Anyone can help?

lofty dome Jun 29, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

Are you sure you included your module in the Build.cs files? That's a good place to verify.
Did you generate visual studio project file and have you run the editor from visual studio? That can possibly fix this issue. Or at least show you if something is wrong inside the code
Also, personally I've found that many problems go away if you ensure that you have all the solution config binaries built.

I don't know if your project is Blueprint or C++, but many packaging methods only work if you convert the project to C++

in addition, you were being given incorrect advice, if in packaging it complains about a game module not being found, you need to check uproject

as well as Target.cs

you mean using the raw command line parameters ?

ok

winged moss Jun 29, 2022, 4:13 PM

#

though I would have no idea why "use proejct setting" would refer to the server target rather than the main game target

#

also the differences between client and game is that client doesn't have any ability to host listen servers if that matters to you

probably not because the program you are debugging (the editor) is not the one thats crashing. the log comes from the automation scripts that are run outside of the editor.

thats not all as it was too long for discord 😦

normal dock Jul 5, 2022, 12:26 AM

#

so

#

it seems like you are trying to use a node that has a world context pin

#

or something like that anyway

#

you really should clean up those warnings first because thats probably whats causing it

atomic token Jul 5, 2022, 12:33 AM

#

Yeah I was looking at the world context pins… coming from functions from a function library being called in another function library. I went through and made sure all empty world context pins were connected with an actor but that didn’t help

#

Is there a way to find which BP the error is coming from or could it be many cause of all the warnings?

#

Not too familiar with the world context pin… any way to remove it from the function node?

normal dock Jul 5, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

World context pins are usually hidden because they are implied (ie it uses the world context of the actor it's called on). You might have better luck in #blueprint

#

Does this only happen when you package? Or does it happen at runtime as well?

#

Also if you are using hot reload (or even if you aren't) it could be a corrupted blueprint

atomic token Jul 5, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

Only when packaging

#

Runtime is all fine and no BP errors when running

#

Even the warnings don’t come up, only packaging brings it all up

Try reverting in source control to an earlier version and check

Hi, ive just packaged my game as a developer build, but whenever i launch it and try host a session it stops responding, im using Advanced Sessions to handle session creation, any idea's why this would stop responding the second i click the host session button? always works when playing standalone or launching the uproject file so it's only crashing on the test build... Could it have anything to do with Advanced Sessions? The fact its a developer build? or perhaps because I'm still using the standard dev app id?

limber dove Jul 7, 2022, 3:45 AM

@mellow sand your log from your packaged game might have some answers that can help you figure out what's going on. If you're using steam subsystem, you can just ctrl + f "steam" and look out for any errors in the log. Also check the area of the log that corresponds with where your game crashed. When I do this I usually find something that I can google for solutions, or even ask about here for a specific solution. Good luck

Hi everyone! Right now I have a slight problem.
In our project we are using:

+DirectoriesToNeverCook(Path="/Game/SpecificPlatformContent")

under [/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings] secton, inside DefaultGame.ini. To prevent cooking platform specific content to the PC etc.
But right now I need to override one of this record for IOS platform. So I've added:

-DirectoriesToNeverCook(Path="/Game/SpecificPlatformContent")

to ProjectDir\Config\IOS\IOSGame.ini under [/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings] section. But it doesn't work as I hoped.
Also tried to add this as Always Cook and still no result. Does anyone solved this or similar problem?
What is the proper way to keep default config untouched and fix it with IOS config?

Cooked files retrieved from a pak cannot be read by the editor and cannot be "extracted" into uasset files as they inherently contain different data. Furthermore, discussion of such tools is, if not against the rules of this server, at least generally frowned upon.

PackagingResults: Error: Package C:/UnrealRepo/MultiplayerTemplate/Content/__ExternalActors__/ThirdPerson/Maps/Map_Testing/DG/G6/16OLDCKH3DC1UJ93XOXOU.uasset is too new. Engine Version: 1004 Package Version: 1006 so... not sure what this is about. i switch between source and binary because if i push anything from source build, anyone on a binary version breaks and vice versa, so i do stuff in binary build, switch to source, compile, attempt to package... and this happens. 5.0.2 binary, source is release, which it says is the same version as binary. what am i supposed to do?

where can i actually check source version?

mellow bane Jul 11, 2022, 6:20 PM

You have to check that you're on the correct Git tag

#

The defines are almost always wrong in source builds

Should read 5.0.2-release

dusky crane Jul 11, 2022, 6:20 PM

#

ull have to explain that, i just do what im told

#

where

mellow bane Jul 11, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

Git

#

Should be d11782b9046e9d0b130309591e4efc57f4b8b037

#

To be fair, latest release branch should also be that if you're correctly updated

#

git pull should do nothing

dusky crane Jul 11, 2022, 6:22 PM

#

does source release update when the binary hasnt?

#

i had a working packaged server a few weeks ago. i havent updated anything, so i dont see why it would have changed

mellow bane Jul 11, 2022, 6:36 PM

#

dusky crane does source release update when the binary hasnt?

Source updates when you pull from Git

#

(and compile obviously)

dusky crane Jul 11, 2022, 6:39 PM

#

ya... but isnt the point of release that its the same version as the binary?

#

i get that main updates more regularly and that one would likely be ahead of the binary, but release should be the same. without updating source and binary staying the same, i dont know how or why the versions are now different

mellow bane Jul 11, 2022, 6:46 PM

#

dusky crane ya... but isnt the point of release that its the same version as the binary?

Make sure pulling on git and rebuilding doesn't change anything

dusky crane Jul 11, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

ok i was able to pull something new from source release, compiled.. same problem though. same version numbers too

dusky crane Jul 11, 2022, 8:05 PM

#

apparently i had to delete the external actors, the 150 folders it made. theres only 37 actors on the level, im not sure why there were so many uassets for that level in the content folder but whatever

granite bridge Jul 12, 2022, 8:48 AM

#

i would consider making a binary build for your team from your source

#

that way you should all have the same version tag

mellow bane Jul 12, 2022, 11:16 AM

willow saddle Jul 13, 2022, 8:52 AM

mellow bane Okay but *how*

What do you mean by how?
Using the File - Package - Windows 64 menu

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 8:54 AM

#

Make sure to tick "use pak file"

willow saddle Jul 13, 2022, 8:55 AM

#

I'm not sure I want to use the .pak file, as I'm releasing the game on Steam, and I don't know if small updates would make the players download the whole .pak file ?

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 8:56 AM

#

Yes you want the pak, no updates wouldn't redownload it.

willow saddle Jul 13, 2022, 8:56 AM

#

Hmm, Ok, I'll give it a try.
Thanks!

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 9:54 AM

#

as long as you pack updates as patch

#

and not a whole rebuild

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 9:58 AM

#

granite bridge and not a whole rebuild

Full rebuilds are perfectly fine and will in fact yield smaller patches than the Unreal patch system

#

Contrary to popular belief

#

You should always push a full build to Steam

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:00 AM

#

so steam runs their own diff on the pak file or how does it work then?

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:00 AM

#

granite bridge so steam runs their own diff on the pak file or how does it work then?

Steam does delta patching on files

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:00 AM

#

have you tested that with pak containers?

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:01 AM

#

Yes

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:01 AM

#

ok

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:01 AM

#

I routinely patch a 5GB pak file with 50MB Steam updates

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:01 AM

#

i only have experience as player with unreal games when it comes to steam updates, and ark for example has awful large patches considering that they don't contain new content

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:01 AM

#

The only problem is that Steam will make a local copy of the pak file during updating, post-download, so large unique paks may result in slower Steam updates; download size is unaffected

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:02 AM

#

granite bridge i only have experience as player with unreal games when it comes to steam update...

Huge patches for Unreal could either be caused by lightmap changes, or encryption

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:02 AM

#

ah right, encryption would probably screw over the steam patch system

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:03 AM

#

Baked lighting is a pretty safe way to have gigabytes of patching for every hotfix

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:03 AM

#

yea, sounds reasonable

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:03 AM

#

Any vaguely decent encryption obviously guarantees a 100% full redownload of the pak too as you guessed

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:03 AM

#

they fixed landscape clipping issues often, which might have invalidated their map build data

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:03 AM

#

(it's also pointless, so like, don't)

granite bridge Jul 13, 2022, 10:04 AM

#

from what i know the encryption of UE paks isn't really safe either

#

i mean, how should it even if the key has to be in the packaged build somewhere...

#

i cant for the sake of it figure out how to tell unreal when to load the dlc pak

#

it seems like it's loading it way too early

mellow bane Jul 13, 2022, 10:54 AM

#

granite bridge from what i know the encryption of UE paks isn't really safe either

Encryption on PC is a joke. It cannot work.

Hey folks, having a weird one, google is of no help. After packaging today it seems I'm no longer able to connect to my dedicated shipping server because the client is apparently outdated. The only instances where I found this happening is when the server and client builds were packaged in different projects or on different machines, but I'm packaging both the client and server from the same project.
My LogNetVersion / LocalNetworkVersion in the server log is showing a seriously outdated version and I have no idea where its getting this information, I've been changing the version through the project settings and the client appears fully up-to-date in both the editor and in shipping builds. I've tried rebuilding both the engine from source and the project files themselves.
Anyone have any ideas?

Working with UE5.0.1 and packaging works with no errors, but when launching the game binary I get this:

#

It is a blueprint-only project, what do I need to do to make UE compile and add external plugins to a packaged build?

#

Usually this would work without doing anything manually on my end in UE4.27 IIRC.

#

I've already tried doing this:

#

didn't change anything.

#

Would I have to package the plugin manually by itself and then place it into the packaged game folder somewhere? All this seems too cumbersome to be correct.

Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place, but I want to set some default settings in my game for temporal AA. I use a lot of baked animation on static meshes via the world offset node in the materials, and the default temporal AA settings have a really bad shimmering effect. Does anyone know how I can configure settings like r.TemporalAA.Algorithm at the config level? If I add it to DefaultEngine.ini I just get a warning saying "Couldn't parse 'r.TemporalAA.Algorithm 4' in UnrealBuildTool.ConfigFileSection". I've tried adding it under the [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] and [SystemSettings] sections

In my packaged game I have a very strange Issue.

#

#

These two are variants of the same textures but one has twice the resolution. All settings have been applied with python scripts and are identical apart from the resolution. The internal metrics show that the double resolution is 4 times as many KB, as it should be. My project uses normally around 100mb RAM. When I load all small textures into memory at once they use 3.5GB, but when I load all double sized textures they take up 34GB of RAM. This is 10 times more and 2.5 times more they should.

Why is are double resolution textures taking up 10 times the RAM? What can I do to correct this?

Show your game mode code

The constructor, since that's what's crashing

Getting the feeling that you didn't actually write that code? Anyway, ASCGameMode::ASCGameMode

#

Apparently there's an error in it so show ASCGameMode::ASCGameMode in that file to see if it's easy to fix

#

You just showed the beginning

#

The full function

#

Copypaste the full function into blocks of ```cpp <code> ```

#

Read my previous message and copypaste the full constructor here

#

Full function

#

put it on pastebin

#

Now show the crash again since you deleted your message

#

The full error, not just a cropped screenshot that removes information

#

Guessing some of the referenced assets in the constructor don't exist

#

Assets, in content

#

Look, you should take it up with the person who wrote that code

Not the issue

Hi everyone! I am looking for some guidance on releasing my game for public sale.

I see the guides from this link: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/release

I'm wondering more about how to prepare my actual project? Such as:

how do I set app icons, splash screens, and other branded assets in my game and game files?
is there any proper way to package the game (beyond just the Shipping configuration) to deliver my game files publicly? Is there a best practice to encrypt the contents or codes, or build more into binary files rather than other filetypes?

Looking to see if anyone knows any resources they could point me to. Or, if you know what topics I should be looking further into. Thanks 🙂

Project settings have those

You should package for Shipping, ensure you keep a copy of each build including PDB files; you should not keep PDB files in the public build; encryption is pointless. Publishing is easy on PC, on Steam you pretty much just need to create a new package for each update and have Steam process it, for example.

Do disabled plugins still compile? Or will it make the build smaller?

Thanks for this. I see under Project Settings > Crypto options to Encrypt pak, .ini, assets, and uassets. I can see why not to encrypt All Assets (bad for patch updates), but what is an arguement against using any other of the encryption means?

And how can i make sure PCBs are not in the public build?

mellow bane Jul 19, 2022, 4:25 AM

Encryption on PC will be broken in minutes by anyoen who knows what they're doing and will completely destroy your update sizes

mellow bane Jul 19, 2022, 4:25 AM

#

dire oak And how can i make sure PCBs are not in the public build?

Write yourself some scripts, or remove them manually

#

Just keep them for debugging

dire oak Jul 19, 2022, 4:29 AM

#

Thanks for all the insights @mellow bane. I've already looked into the project settings and seen what you alluded to, thanks.

Last thing I was wondering is, where do I need to look for the PCB files in my packaged game?

Hi everybody - I am having some trouble with setting up and connecting to my dedicated server through remote desktop, and I would really appreciate any assistance.

We are making a simple multiplayer mobile game in UE5. I followed the official docs regarding setting up a dedicated server. I have built the engine from source, created Server.Target.cs, built and packaged it. I did not make a separate client target but rather just packaged the default build target (as per the docs).

Everything works fine locally when I run the game and server exe's separately. But when I copy the packaged server files over to the remote desktop (where the actual server is running), run it and try connecting to it as a client I get this error:

"FailureType = OutdatedClient, ErrorString = The match you are trying to join is running an incompatible version of the game. Please try upgrading your game version., Driver = PendingNetDriver IpNetDriver_21**"

I tried googling this and had no luck. The builds/packages are identical with what I have locally and what I copy to the server desktop. I tried packaging Shipping versions, rebuilt the engine from source and retraced all the steps - all with no avail.

An associate with a lot more experience recommended us to change to UE4, which would be less than preferable to say the least.

Any help would be much appreciated!

mystic atlas Jul 19, 2022, 8:20 AM

#

Did you also build your client from source? You probably should match server and client build configurations/sources.

hushed snow Jul 19, 2022, 8:32 AM

#

yes , I did

mystic atlas Jul 19, 2022, 8:48 AM

#

From the same source on the same pc?

#

Did you delete the entire game server / whatever UE was installed on your remote server before copying over?

#

Does the server have any useful logs?

hushed snow Jul 19, 2022, 8:55 AM

#

I only copy the packaged server files and executable over to the remote server. Editor is not installed there.
Weird thing is, the server logs do not show any signs of connection but the client obviously finds the server since it only complains about the game version/incompatibility and not an invalid ip address

#

Maybe it's worth mentioning again that identical server files work locally when I connect to 127.0.0.1 or the actual public ip of the current pc

mystic atlas Jul 19, 2022, 8:57 AM

#

Are you sure it's connecting to the right port?

hushed snow Jul 19, 2022, 8:59 AM

#

yes, 7777

#

Also, the same remote server hosts a dedicated server for a different project I'm not involved with and it works fine. That project is on UE4

mystic atlas Jul 19, 2022, 9:01 AM

#

You're absolutely sure it's not trying to connect to that other project's server?

hushed snow Jul 19, 2022, 9:03 AM

#

Not really sure actually now that I think about it. Perhaps the other project is also running on 7777 and we are trying to connect to it?

mystic atlas Jul 19, 2022, 9:03 AM

#

Yeah...

hushed snow Jul 19, 2022, 9:06 AM

#

Would you mind telling me how to specify a port on the server?

mystic atlas Jul 19, 2022, 9:07 AM

#

I have no idea, tbh.

hushed snow Jul 19, 2022, 9:11 AM

#

I changed the port and it works now - thank you very much!

Attempting to package a brand new project from UE5. I have installed some plugins from the Epic Launcher and I seem to be getting an error that the UnrealBuildTool.exe can't find the plugins???

azure grove Jul 19, 2022, 8:39 PM

#

Some searches showed people in earlier versions were getting packaging results if they moved their /Plugins/Marketplace plugins to the project's Plugins folder. But now I'm getting a new warning during packaging with a "UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): ERROR: Stage Failed. Missing receipt 'D:\Unreal Projects\Tetrabliss\Binaries\Win64\Tetrabliss.target'. Check that this target has been built."

#

coral palm Jul 20, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

UAT has a -clean argument that will clean intermediate files before the build. Is there an argument that will clean intermediate files as it builds, or before it cooks? My goal here is to never be in a situation where >100 GB is on disk. And seems once you built, there is tons of stuff that could be removed before you cook and package.

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 4:15 AM

#

coral palm UAT has a `-clean` argument that will clean intermediate files before the build....

No

#

As it builds would also be a little dumb

coral palm Jul 20, 2022, 4:50 AM

#

winged moss As it builds would also be a little dumb

Yeah, sorry I meant more so at some strategic time during the build, cook, package process. How do you guys do your CI/CD then. I doubt everyone can afford Windows VMs on the cloud with >120 GB of space, or distributed build system like Incredibuild.

What about indies working in the cloud… No prem?

#

They can’t have automated builds?

marble ruin Jul 20, 2022, 4:57 AM

#

Hello! I'm having trouble understanding the build process. Will all plugin dependencies noted in .uplugin be packaged in the build, even if some are conditional? By conditional, I mean some plugins are loaded based on the platform. Any thoughts would be appreciated 🙏

coral palm Jul 20, 2022, 5:11 AM

#

winged moss A bog standard Win 10/11 license is actually okay too

What do you mean by bog standard?

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 6:21 AM

#

coral palm What do you mean by bog standard?

ie. You don't need a Windows Server license

#

Also the on-prem part is a fancy way of saying "a CPU workhorse computer in a cupboard setup as a Jenkins agent"

#

It's actually all consumer grade hardware too

coral palm Jul 20, 2022, 9:59 AM

I guess I could buy a machine just for that.

rare relic Jul 20, 2022, 10:45 AM

coral palm I guess I could buy a machine just for that.

Recommended. For the spec you need for unreal, buying a machine pays for itself v quickly over cloud costs.

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 6:29 PM

#

why would you want to do this? cooking is based on references

mellow bane Jul 20, 2022, 6:33 PM

#

Personally my approach is to DirectoriesToAlwaysCook a directory that has master asset lists (asset labels) pointing to main assets. Those in turn point recusively to all non-level content that needs to be packaged.

#

Trivial to set up, ensures whitelisting of content, zero unused asset in game.

#

The level list in packaging options works exactly like that for level content already

#

The default engine behaviour, if you have populated the level list, is to ignore all assets that aren't in the dependency chain for those levels

#

You don't normally want to blacklist level content

#

Since, you know, it would break the levels

#

Not sure what you want that differs from that behaviour

#

In my case since the levels don't actually reference gameplay content, I simply have a whitelist of assets on top.

#

No, the default engine behaviour is to cook all, that are referenced. You can override this with bCookAll
Referenced by the levels added manually in packaging options, yes

#

You can simply only add an empty level there and get an empty package

#

Like take your 300GB project, don't change any packaging option, just add an empty level in packaging options's map list

#

Voila, empty package

#

You can then whitelist your assets as needed with DirectoriesToAlwaysCook

#

Do you have levels set to be packaged in project settings?

#

Then they (unreferenced assets) get cooked but not packaged

#

I know for a fact that if your packaging option's list of levels to package is non-empty, any asset not referenced by those levels, will be cooked but not packaged.

#

"lists of maps to include in package" or something under PSettings/packaging

#

Then everything gets packaged

#

Dummy mode for people who haven't configured packaging

#

Add your levels there, and you'll find that all content not referenced directly or indirectly by levels won't package

#

Feel free to do what you want, but I can vouch that the behaviour I described can be relied upon

#

It's 30s of setup for fairly foolproof stuff

#

TLDR:

Is there a way to make this setup work so I only have whitelist to cook instead i.e. I set
+DirectoriesToNeverCook=/
and then just add an override which assets should be cooked?

set lists of levels (can be one empty dummy level)
whitelist any non-packaged-level-referenced asset manually with DirectoriesToAlwaysCook to package directories & dependent assets

#

Okay, but this trivially solves the problem you described

#

As in "I only want to whitelist assets starting from zero assets packaged"

#

I wouldn't expect DirectoriesToNeverCook / DirectoriesToAlwaysCook to work reliably at scale starting from the default full package mode

#

Cooks, or package? Make sure to test in the packaged game with the asset registry to diagnose included files.

#

The final asset copy log should also be reliable IIRC

#

And it's not "according to me", this is the normal expected behaviour and I've relied on it for years across all releases

#

Probably want to try in an empty project if you've changed options before, to minimize the risk of error

#

No idea how / if cooking is influenced, since personally I just care about what's in the package

#

Start by getting packaging right and next see if / how to also get assets not packaged to also not cook, if they do

Im creating a plugin with a dependency on an Engine plugin, during packaging I'm getting an error about an #include file not found inside the engine plugin..
The file is verified to be where the include is pointing (Third party folder). What can I do to make it compile?

mellow bane Jul 20, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

Check that the plugin has a dependency on the engine plugin, that the header isn't private

#

You could also check whether the header is something editor only that doesn't get exposed during packaging

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 7:14 PM

#

no need to be a dick about it, but it's not conventional workflow because the cooker will cook things referenced by levels that are cooked

mellow bane Jul 20, 2022, 7:22 PM

#

You do come across as a bit aggressive imho

It's a runtime module, and I include it in Public dependency module, This is the plugin https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/4.26/Engine/Plugins/Runtime/GooglePAD/Source/GooglePAD/GooglePAD.Build.cs

mellow bane Jul 20, 2022, 7:23 PM

#

Public dep for the plugin, right?

lethal pelican Jul 20, 2022, 7:23 PM

#

Yeah

#

The error I'm getting is from here https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/4.26/Engine/Plugins/Runtime/GooglePAD/Source/GooglePAD/Classes/GooglePADFunctionLibrary.h#L12
It says that the include file is not found

#

And I am building for Android, shipping 😄

mellow bane Jul 20, 2022, 7:27 PM

#

So your plugin depends on GooglePAD and you have this include missing when compiling your module correct?

lethal pelican Jul 20, 2022, 7:29 PM

#

Yes, that is my situation.. Really not sure what I can do to fix it

mellow bane Jul 20, 2022, 7:30 PM

#

So I think this is expected behaviour here

#

string PlayCoreSDKPath = Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, "..", "ThirdParty", "play-core-native-sdk");
string PlayCoreIncludePath = Path.Combine(PlayCoreSDKPath, "include");
PrivateIncludePaths.Add(PlayCoreIncludePath);

#

Assuming "play/asset_pack.h" is under "ThirdParty/play-core-native-sdk/include"

#

You would need to copy that setup in your plugin's build.cs

#

(Root cause being include path is private, so not propagated to you, but you include that header which in turns includes it)

lethal pelican Jul 20, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

I'm going to see if I can get that to work, I appreciate you pointing it out!
I've been looking at the file for so long I didn't even think to check the bottom part of it out, rank 1 stupidity but o well >.>

mellow bane Jul 20, 2022, 7:36 PM

#

Honestly the only way this include path should be private is if GooglePADFunctionLibrary.h is also expected to be

#

But assuming no engine change + needing the include, yeah

Hey all, I'm shipping an Xbox title real soon, and we suddenly have to split the game into two different builds for different regions, world and Japan.

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

well you could always do a separate build/cook, there's all sorts of things you can do with Target.cs files

#

winged moss well you could always do a separate build/cook, there's all sorts of things you ...

Okay, so multiple targets - that was my fallback plan, so I'll just get started on it.

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 8:05 PM

#

it also depends what your regional differences are and such

#

that would be my first idea anyway, but the console game I was on the team for just used a single build for xbox

brave sedge Jul 20, 2022, 8:09 PM

#

Basically just a single if(isJapan()) { /*something something*/ } that came up at the last minute. Fun stuff!

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

that does seem like a job for a Target.cs thing you can add a CommandLineAttribute for

brave sedge Jul 20, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

Oooh that sounds like a thing that I want to know more about

winged moss Jul 20, 2022, 8:12 PM

#

in Target.cs, you can add:

public bool bJapaneseBuild = false;

if (bJapaneseBuild)
{
  ProjectDefinitions.Add("JAPANESE_BUILD=1");
}
else
{
  ProjectDefinitions.Add("JAPANESE_BUILD=0");
}```

#

and in C++ you can add a #if JAPANESE_BUILD block

#

and then when you cook with BuildCookRun, pass -Japan inside the -UBTArgs="..." arg

brave sedge Jul 20, 2022, 8:15 PM

That looks perfect, giving that a shot now!
