Hey, I’m using the Stylized Kingdom example map, and I’ve added a few custom classes and made a whole bunch of changes. When I play in PIE mode, everything works great, but if I Launch or Package my game, it’s creating what looks like my game as it was 6 hours ago. I’ve tried cooking, compiling, building, saving, closing and reopening, and no...

Hey has anyone had an issue with a packaged (Windows) development program not responding on start-up?

The logs don't show anything out of the ordinary (no errors) and debugging the client shows Unreal is in some UEngine::UpdateTimeAndHandleMaxTickRate() function (inside FEngineLoop::Tick()).

I rebuilt Unreal (from source, 5.1.0), re-generated project files, validated assets, and rebuilt my project. It would run a couple weeks ago (and for a very long time before then) and I have no changes to the project settings that I would expect to break anything so I am lost.

Here is the end of the log file

Hello, does anyone know how to modify the packaged game screen size?

Hello I have a question, when packaging, how is it that it`s not simple. I want a packaged game with an intaller that I can share with my friend

#

How can I get a REAL package and share the game

#

It`s not even multiplayer

#

its basically just a test

#

i want to send a simple game that my friend can download, install and play

mystic atlas
#

I believe nullsoft make an installer.

#

And if it's just a test, why do you need an installer?

#

Just zip up the files and upload them somewhere.

calm kettle
#

Oh yeah

calm kettle
#

I thought you would need to install an .exe ?

#

At first I only had shared the .exe

#

#

but now i uploaded a .zip of the whole "windows" packaging

#

and it works, no installation

Hey, I have a problem when packaging my game, I get this:
The game module 'BlobWarInput' could not be found. Please ensure that this module exists and that it is compiled.

I only get this error in the packaged version of the game, after trying to run the .exe. The module in question is referenced in 2 other modules, and as I said, it works in the editor, but not when packaged. Any idea what may be the cause of this?

#

Also, this happens with the shipping build

Hey guys! Wondering if anyone has seen this before; whenever I have landscape grass active in the landscape material (on a worldpartitioned level's landscape), packaging the project dies with this error. Does anyone maybe have an idea as to how to debug this further?

Additional info:
It's a c++ project (several additional plugins enabled, but they all packaged fine before and are not connected to landscapes or worldbuilding in any ways). I also noticed that if I just rerun the project launcher enough times (8-10), it eventually pushes through and finishes successfully. But when 1 build is like 2 hrs, it's alot of time. I'm not familiar with cpp but maybe there's a way to find what asset the cooker dies on? Thanks in advance.

P.S All red error messages just edited for better visibility.

Hey everyone!
I have an issue with my packaged project. (Probably something simple, its my first project)
Its a texture streaming size over budget problem error.
In my editor I used the consol command, to get rid of the issue, but i cant find a solution for the packaged file

Hi folks,
It seems to be the good channel, I repost my question from UE5 general ;)

Do you have experienced any differences between PIE and packaged project when using ChildActorComponent (or even AttachToActor method) in a level with World Partition enabled ?

We have an issue where an object with Child Actor or Attached Actor set by calling functions with CallInEditor are not saved when packaging the project and played in build. The PIE is fine, exiting and reloading the level in editor works fine too, but any changes to this actor are not reflected in build.
Thanks !

Thanks for the help, I got to figure it out in the end. It was my BlobWarInputModule.cpp that was causing trouble. I did IMPLEMENT_GAME_MODULE(FDefaultGameModuleImpl, BlobWarInputModule); instead of IMPLEMENT_GAME_MODULE(FDefaultGameModuleImpl, BlobWarInput);

#

So I had to get rid of the Module suffix

#

The weird thing is this worked perfectly fine with the editor

Odd, the editor only aspect is why I suspected Target.cs didn't have it listed under ExtraModuleNames

What path would go to the Binaries directory of my plugin after I package it? I tried \"$(BinaryOutputDir)\\Binaries\\$(TargetPlatform)\" but this appears to not be working.

I'm not to sure if this is the right place to ask this but I'm trying to build my project to my quest 2 and I followed meta and unreal's guide for setting up the sdk, ndks and getting the meta xr plugin but when i try and build it to my quest 2 it seems to be taking forever. At first I thought I was stuck on the deploying executable and assets to quest 2 but when I checked output log it seems like it makes progress every 40 minutes and it's been at it for about 2 hours now but I'm not sure if anyone knows a way to make it go faster. Thank you

Can you assign "additional non-asset directories to copy" for plugins? I want to have a seperate folder in the packaged build containing files from the plugin exposed for the user, but obviously when going through the project settings you can only do it for files within the project 'content' folder, not plugin folders.

Hi - I am trying to package a 2D game - in editor everything is all nice sharp pixel sprites but when I package the game all the sprites get blurry and even have artifacts. I used the paper 2d sprite settings and hunted down mipmapped textures but the build is still blurry. Any one know what checkboxes I might need to hit to get this to package with sharp pixelated sprites? Thank you for your help!

Why is this AssetManager setup is not working? PrimaryAsset is load correctly in Editor but not in packaged build. Let's say I have a PrimaryAssetType "SelectionSet" is located at Plugin > MyPlugin > MyDir > B_MySelectionSet.uasset.

I'd try no anti aliasing first

#

Although these settings also effect the editor

These settings are easy to play with, worth a try I guess

Nah I'd try None as well, but it that doesn't work you can try the other options too

giving it a shot thank you for responding - kinda floored to get to this point and find the build process is borked

Might be also something in the settings of the textures themselves

Hi, we have an issue like this when packaging the our game. Pls help us.

We have a actor blueprint named "BP_ItemBase" and we are referencing it blueprint every where on the project.
We tried to find and fix all the errors inside this bp but it didn't work at all.
We tried use old versions of the blueprint asset but that didn't work.

I think the BP asset itself is corrupted but I dont want to replace it because we using it every where that means a lot of work
Also when I try to open the asset some times engine crushing .
Thank you

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): LogWindows: Error: Failed to get template for class /Game/GameLogic/Mechanics/Inventory/Item/BP_ItemBase.BP_ItemBase_C. ExportName=Default__BP_ItemBase_C

I looked this error online and I can't any thing useful.

low locust
#

@queen grove Is the blueprint complex to re-make? You could then delete the other one and the dialog will ask you what other blueprint to replace the references with.

#

You could also copy/paste stuff into a fresh blueprint if you believe the file is corrupt

queen grove
#

I tried to duplicate the asset and replace it but it didnt work. I tried duplicate because the chield bp's are using default class info as data and every chield has unique data in itself

queen grove
#

I dont wanna lose current data but it may worth it

low locust
#

Yeah, best to backup your project

#

before experimenting

queen grove
#

Yep you are right. We backup after the corruption done and we didnt notice it so all the versions we have are broken

thank you btw

Propably an ActorComponent is manually deleted while the GC is trying to delete it as well but it is still referenced from somewhere.
I have one level only, i deleted all the possible actors from it that i have created through c++. I am using ue5.1 and i just dont understand which actorcomponent is causing this error. I tried starting the editor from the debugger (vs) and i tried to package the game but the debugger cant catch the exception since propably the packaging is a different operation lets say. I just want to check which object is causing this error. Any ideas?

Hello everyone i wanted to ask a question my packaging fails
Assertion failed: !IsRooted() [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Public\UObject\UObjectBaseUtility.h] [Line: 266]
and i want to debug the process to check which object is causing this error. Is there a way to debug the packaging process and catch the assertion becaue on the editor if i start it from the debugger it does attack to the packaging process and i tried to runt he packaging process from the CMD and attach to it via visual studio but it does work (propably doesn't load the symbols) is there a way?

#

Ok i think i finally solved my problem. I ll elaborate in case anyone has the same problem. So in order to find which object was causing this error and replace the packaging process what i did was to go to visual studio choose the DebugGame configuration and run the debugger. the game run fine but when i closed the game the same error appeared and i was able to find the problem. So the packaging process runs the game and closes the game in a way and this error appears.

Hello,
When i run Project launcher to build android AAB or APK, the changes i have done do not reflect on them
however using the manual publish, changes take effect, any one knows why ?

shell sluice

Hi guys, every time I try to package my game it says build failed and allso prints this in the output log:

#

PackagingResults: Error: Unknown Cook Failure

#

Does anybody know what is causing this?

#

Every time I try to package a game something tries to mess me up

#

Im tired af

mellow atlas
#

first thing to do is to go to all your widgets graphs and check for bad nodes

#

some of these nodes need refreshing

#

check all references for the mentioned struct as well

shell sluice
#

Can bad nodes cause cook failures?

mellow atlas
#

they do sometimes

#

just a simple refresh for these nodes can fix issues

shell sluice
#

K πŸ‘ thanks

mellow atlas
#

let us know if you find some erros showing on some nodes already and if refreshing fixes some cook erros

Hey folks, having some real issues packaging in UE 5.2.1 here is an example:

  1. package - Fails with a nul!Ptr message
  2. Run packager again - freezes on an animation during cook for hours
  3. Delete animation
  4. Repeat

Before 5.2 I could package no problem so no idea whats going on :/ Weird the nul!ptr failure doesnt happen every time

Have tried cleaning saved / int / binaries etc etc

EDIT: I think I’ve found it, by migrating each folder across to a new project I could find which one crashed the engine with the same error πŸ‘

If part of a plugin, also check if its 'Type' is correct.

yes but do you need it at runtime

yes

then you'll likely need a source build then

Hi everyone!
I'm trying make a packaged application that has to include a livelink plugin, but I keep getting the error at runtime that the required factory is not defined. I've changed the .uproject to include the plugin, as well as adding its folder path to the project advanced setting Packaging->Additional Assets Directory To Cook (following some forum thread suggesting this).

Nothing happens. I don't have a clue of what should be done to include the plugin code in the packaged application, and how to properly check if the packaged game has the required code . Can anyone clarify this? Thank you!

And you might have a lot of compilation errors.

# naive ridge No, you need to do a lot of stuff. The thing is Mac needs to check your dev acco...

asked chatgbt! how accurate is this?==== If you have the project files on your Mac, and Unreal Engine and Xcode installed, you should be able to compile, cook, and package the game on your Mac. Here's the process:

Setting up your environment: Make sure you have Unreal Engine 5.2 and Xcode installed on your Mac. Unreal Engine uses Xcode's toolchain for building the Mac version.

Open your project: You should be able to open your Unreal Engine project directly on your Mac. Navigate to your project folder (the one you downloaded from GitHub), locate the .uproject file, and open it. This should launch Unreal Engine and load your project.

Compile the project: You can compile the project within the Unreal Editor by clicking on "File -> Compile" in the main menu.

Configure project settings: Go to Edit -> Project Settings. Ensure the settings are configured correctly for Mac.

Package the project: Once your project settings are configured correctly, you can cook and package your game. To do this, go to File -> Package Project -> Mac.

Select output location: You'll be prompted to select an output location for your packaged project. This will be the directory where Unreal Engine creates the final, distributable game files.

After these steps, the packaging process will start. Once complete, you should have a .app file or .dmg file in your selected output directory. You can run this file on a Mac to play your game.

naive ridge
#

And it is very important for almost each platform building.

#

And you could also have lots of problems while compiling or packaging. Because each platform has their own compiler and somehow the specific stuff for video or audio files while may cause the packaging error.

#

IIRC, at least you need provision.

near ridge
near ridge
# naive ridge Configure project settings: Go to Edit -> Project Settings. Ensure the settings ...

she apologized ... lol: Configure project settings: Go to Edit -> Project Settings. Ensure the settings are configured correctly for Mac.
This is vague, isn't it?
ChatGPT
You're right, and I apologize for the lack of specificity. Some of the settings can be dependent on your project's individual needs, but here are some basic guidelines to ensure your settings are correctly configured for Mac:

Targeted Platform: Under Project Settings, find the section called 'Supported Platforms' and make sure 'Mac' is checked.

Rendering: In the 'Rendering' section, check if the settings are compatible with Mac hardware, especially if you have specific shaders or post-processing effects. Macs often have different GPUs than Windows PCs, so if you're using any high-end graphical features, you might want to create quality presets or scalability settings to ensure the game runs well on Mac hardware.

Input: If you've created any platform-specific input systems (like for a gamepad on Windows), you might need to double-check that these work on Mac as well.

Audio: Similarly, if you're using any platform-specific audio systems or codecs, ensure they're compatible with Mac.

Packaging: Under the 'Packaging' section, make sure the 'Build Configuration' is set to what you need ('Development', 'Shipping', etc.). Here you can also specify whether you want to use the Pak file format, which can help with load times and security, but might make your game take up more disk space.

These are some of the most common settings you might need to check, but your project could have other platform-specific dependencies that need to be addressed. Always test your game thoroughly on the Mac after packaging to ensure everything works as expected.

Also, don't forget to set up your provision and certificate for Mac in 'Project Settings' -> 'Platforms' -> 'Mac' if you are planning to distribute your application.

naive ridge
#

Provision is the key you got from Apple

near ridge
#

naive ridge
#

If you are one of their developer

near ridge
#

shit ... ok ... i have to log in to the dev portal to find that then im assuming

naive ridge
#

Yeah, I mean it is not that easy and struggling.

near ridge
#

although bc we are not sending this version to publish yet, dont need to worry about this step until a future version perhaps yes? ie provision

#

i'll try and run it via the chat processes and added clarity for project settings ... unless you think that is batshit crazy and a waste of time due to compiling errors? Or worth a try and then test it may work? @naive ridge @umbral mural

naive ridge
#

I'm not sure but I think you need that to deploy your game to Xcode to compile for the Mac version IIRC

#

Maybe I remembered that wrong.

#

You may kick off a build and if it is not working, just wait for your programmers.

#

No way to fix most of the compilation errors unless the programmers working on that. And that's why I hate porting to other platforms a lot because always getting weird issues, lol

I've tried looking at the logs and so have they but don't see what's actually preventing it from finishing. I never get any failure to build issues or anything it simply hangs. I have the fps settings on the top of the editor, and when it cycles through the build settings it always gets 1 more stall, and then holds forever, not sure if that's relevant or not.

Here is the log, and if anyone has any kind of insight I'd appreciate it as googling has also not yielded any kind of insight either.

hey im building out an apk and the game is stuck on unreal splash

inner rose
#

Haha, came here to ask the same question as @bold sonnet . We don't even get the Unreal Engine splash screen when running a shipping build. Development builds work fine. My understanding is that the development builds ship a lot of content, whereas the shipping builds only package specified content. There must be a discrepancy somewhere, how do I identify it?

Hi, guys who have Electronic Nodes driver, please tell me it helped structure blueprint or no?

i can't see my plugins for adding asset directories to cook ...

#

but it's showing in content drawer as it should

#

for engine it's fine ...

#

ah, it's just buggy

So, I'm having this problem when I package:
All of these errors pops up, however, this has never happened before & everything works completely fine, and I've went in every single class to double chack that they both compile & save and they all do. Any clues on this?

Hello

I was packaging my project and I receive this error

warped pike
# winged moss there is more to this error than 3 lines

When I build, It shows 1 error and 28 warnings
I think that warnings are not preventing the build but that 1 error should be
The error is: LoadErrors: Error: BlendSpace AO_Pistol has sample AS_Pistol_Aim_Up that is invalid due to being out of bounds. Recommend adjusting it.

winged moss
#

any error output will fail the cook

#

so you'll need to address that. with a cook log I always search for error: in the file

warped pike
#

I dont know what is "invalid due to being out of bounds"

#

I never saw it

winged moss
#

well there's clearly an issue with the blendspace your project is using. I would also check AS_Pistol_Aim_Up to see if it's what you expect

warped pike
#

AS_Pistol_Aim_Up is placed on Pitch 90

#

in the editor it works perfectly

winged moss
#

I can't say I've ever suffered this problem, but it is an error that's preventing packaging

Ok thanks anyway

Hey,
I'm getting this error on packing (I just appended the relevant part)
I tried deleting BP_PTG_Manager and I verified it's not in the folder, but for some reason on package, unreal creates it in the "Saved" folder
How to solve this issue?

#

if you don't rely on these feature packs you can disable them

DefaultGame.ini:

[StartupActions]
bAddPacks=False
#

if there's a StartupActions section there, it might have the name of feature packs too

#

as an InsertPack line

winged moss
# grizzled shoal

while those warnings are worth addressing, you can always launch the game and debug it. running the game with -waitfordebugger should allow you to attach to the process and then break to see what the main thread is doing

#

this of course requires familiarity with C++ and debugging tools

#

if your game's process exits instead of hangs, then that'll usually be some static variable in your game that's setup improperly (since it's before the crash handling code is initialised)

Hello, I am building my project with a github runner that executes the BuildCookRun command from the RunUAT.bat. But i get the error message for every asset that is in the project:

As anyone a clue why this is happening and what I can do about it?

I have an issue where some of my files don’t package for my packaged product. The game works in editor, but when I export without .pak files I see many assets are missing. Is there a way to check if something will package correctly?

#

I just checked and it looks like the things that are not packaged are not directly used in the level. They are instead referenced by the cpp files that load them dynamically. Is there a way to force these files to build or to be referenced?

gilded drift
#

hey so i ran into the debugging symbols error again, but include debug files on turned on

gilded drift
#

I was wondering could I still be doing something wrong

winged moss
gilded drift
#

I'm not sure

#

How would you stage it to the build output

winged moss
#

By checking that checkbox but I don't know why it would be difficult to know if a PDB file exists there or not

gilded drift
#

so where would i try to find PDB File

gilded drift
#

i found a few PDB files

winged moss
#

Just use Everything from voidtools.com you should have a PDB that matches your main game executable

I'm trying to build my game and get this error, no idea how to fix it
UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): Missing precompiled manifest for 'AutomationWindow', 'H:\UE5\UE_5.1\Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UnrealGame\Development\AutomationWindow\AutomationWindow.precompiled'. This module was most likely not flagged for being included in a precompiled build - set 'PrecompileForTargets = PrecompileTargetsType.Any;' in AutomationWindow.build.cs to override. If part of a plugin, also check if its 'Type' is correct.

It seems to be an engine file, not a plugin

Well it was easy to find what directly depends on it in Rider/VS through find in all files, it found LevelEditor, SessionFrontend, TraceInsights, and Launch

It would be helpful to see your Build.cs

oh i found something with precompiled headers i messed with a while ago trying to reduce compile times, gonna try get rid of that first

This works in the editor (PIE) but not on the build

gilded drift
winged moss
#

yes but why does it have a notepad icon, do you have file extensions enabled because this is overly cropped

gilded drift
#

i just used the snip it tool to get a screenshot of it, but its a notepad becuase i opened it with notepad

#

but anyway, what do i do now

mystic atlas
#

You don't want to open pdb files with notepad.

gilded drift
#

oh

#

then what do i want to open it with

mystic atlas
#

You don't really. It's just loaded automatically by your debugger.

#

It's like asking what you would open a dll file with - you don't.

gilded drift
#

oh

#

so, is anything bad gonna happen

mystic atlas
#

No. As long as you didn't change the file.

gilded drift
#

ok

#

so im still having that debugging symbols problem

winged moss
#

If you don't get a callstack then there might be an issue with your machine. Did you have VS installed?

gilded drift
#

virtual studio?

#

yes

#

i have both 2022 and 2019

winged moss
#

Is this crash from packaging or the packaged game

gilded drift
#

packaging

winged moss
#

alright, since it doesn't like to walk to stack, after starting packaging attach a debugger to UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe while it's cooking

gilded drift
#

how do i do that?

winged moss
#

start packaging, and in the VS solution open the debug menu and select "attach to process" and find it in the list

#

make sure you have editor debug symbols installed if you are using the binary engine from the Epic launcher

gilded drift
#

debug symbols installed? like the "include debug files" box , or are you talking about something else

winged moss
#

editor symbols will give you debugging information for the editor. initially, I thought you meant something along the lines of your packaged game crashing

#

in the launcher, click the little arrow thing next to the engine version > Options > and you should be enable "Editor symbols for debugging". FYI: this is a pretty large download and requires about 20GB of free space

gilded drift
#

ok

#

hey i just wanted to thank you for being patient with me, this is very tough stuff

We recently upgraded to 5.2.1 (from 5.1) and now server build intermittently hang indefinitely. It seems to be related to the shader compilation job. It hangs on seeming to be done with the job as there are no shaders to compile. It only happen when cross compiling to Linux and happens mainly from command line.
Here's a sample of command line that worked fine in 5.1
RunUAT.bat BuildCookRun -project="[our project]" -noP4 -platform=Linux -clientconfig=Development -serverconfig=Development -noClient -server -servertarget=ServerTarget -cook -maps=MainMenu -build -stage -pak -archive -archivedirectory="[our project builds]" -crashreporter
This is the log when it hangs.

It hangs more than 50% of the time so I think there is a race condition.

Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?

#

Does anyone know why this is failing on packaged build 5.1 LogMovieScene: Warning: Unknown or invalid type (/Script/MediaCompositing.MovieSceneMediaSectionTemplate) found in serialized data? This will no longer work.

gilded drift
#

I'll have to try to do it without it, in a lil

winged moss
#

Well if it "crashes" in VS then you have a callstack and see what's going on

gilded drift
#

Ok

#

How do I check that

winged moss
#

you wait for it to crash with the debugger attached and look at the callstack

#

there isn't much more to it than that

#

if it's showing the crash reporter the the chances are the editor process itself is crashing (which is weird because cooking is out of process inside the UnrealEditor-Cmd process), so attach to that instead

#

you can always build your game from UFE or the command line anyway

gilded drift

Hey I am interested in using plugins in my project. But, I want to build my game for a target platform of both macOS and Windows.

On the Unreal Marketplace page for some plugins, it says Supported Target Build Platforms: Windows

Does this mean my game / this feature of my game will not work on the macOS client builds?

winged moss
#

Yes but you can always modify the plugin to your needs if you copy it to your project

azure nimbus
#

When packaging my project, do I have to specific which maps to package? I only use a title screen map and a game map as well as one kind of intro and outro map, that's it. However I have a ton of other maps from various assets in that project. Are they packaged/cooked etc. together with the rest?

winged moss
#

You explicitly state which maps to cook in the packaging settings

I'm working on creating mod support for my project and I want to make sure that the name of a user created mod plugin doesn't cause any issues if another mod has the same plugin name. Is it possible to rename the plugin name and fix references at paktime? Each mod will have a unique GUID, so ideally I'd just replace the plugin name/folder with that when I pak. Or do I just mount the pak under that GUID instead?

azure nimbus
#

So the only errors I still get are of this type:

r/', '/OpenXRHandTracking/', '/PostSplashScreen/', '/Takes/', '/Synthesis/', '/OculusVR/', '/SteamVR/', '/Config/', '/Script/', '/Extra/', '/Memory/', or '/Temp/'```
#

I moved my project folder to c: since I assume my filenames are too long. However, that didn't work. Or is it indeed too long?

azure nimbus

Now what does this mean and how long will it take?

Hi! Upgrading to 5.2.1 and getting this packaging error:

10:23:09Β   LogOutputDevice: Error: Missing import package name /Game/__ExternalActors__/Maps/MainMap/E2/5E/RO6RDA32PFGD2KR342HYG while saving package /Game/Maps/MainMap/_Generated_/Map_MainGrid_L5_X0_Y-3. Did you rename an import during serialization?```
I already tried resaving all actors multiple times and the file does exists. What could be the issue here?

I cant package since I added Common UI. VerifyImport: Failed to find script package for import object 'Package /Script/CommonUI'

Any BP with referencing to a class extending a common ui class have the type changed and compile errors when opening the project

#

If I fix the errors, the package errors still exist and the same errors happen again when reopening project

Hello guys! I'm currently in trouble, I packaged my Quest2 game on UE 5.2 , and I'm blocked at 3 dots. The current problem is localized on packaging because there are 2 things:

1- If I pack data inside the application. bPackageDataInsideApk=True
The application installs normally on the oculus via a bat file Install_PROJECTNAME-arm64.bat. When I start the application everything is fine.

2- If I do not pack data inside the application. bPackageDataInsideApk=False
The application installs normally on the oculus via a bat file Install_PROJECTNAME-arm64.bat. When I start the application I can see black Screen, 3 dots.

And I currently need to use OBB file cause of some huge projects, does anyone have a solution to this?

Hey all,

How come when I make a small change to the game and then package, the patch download size is small but it looks like Steam is applying changes to the entire project's file size? Is there a way to opitmize this so that Steam isn't constantly repatching pieces of the game that weren't actually changed?

#

So I gave my project to my tester. We have no version control or anything (nothing fancy and certainly not that professional) so I have to give him a complete new build everytime. Is it possible to only give him the executable after a new build if no assets change? Otherwise I have to hand him the whole 20gb pak file everyime πŸ˜…

For anyone searching for a fix to the above, I managed to fix this issue by one of two things (unfortunately I did both of these before I rebuilt again):

  1. I deleted a particle system that spawned on my mouse.
  2. I found an enum variable that was simply listing "MAX." I deleted the variable and reapplied it. The node started listing the correct enums. Then I had to manually reset any node referencing it.

Hi. I wanted to package/build an old Project from ue4.22 to have it be playable.
Just because I'm more familiar with UE5, I tried upgrading [a Copy of] the Project to 5.2, but there were some depracated or deleted Nodes and Plugins in it, so I went back to packaging in 4.22
However I'm getting an Error message when attempting it, and I don't really know much about this Topic. Maybe someone can take a Look at it and tell me what I can do? :/

#

I want to export it for Win64

#

and I just noticed that for some Reason, some of the Error Lines are in German e_e

#

But those seem more like Warnings and less like fatal Errors, so maybe it's fine

#

if somebody can help me, I'd be thankful if you also pinged me back so I notice it!

compiler errors will use your system locale

it may also be that for some reason your main game module is missing the required IMPLEMENT_PRIMARY_GAME_MODULEline

how tho?

winged moss
#

right click the uproject file, Generate Visual Studio solution, open it, compile from there

hardy hatch
#

I guess you mean the second one there?

winged moss
#

yes, and there's an issue with Build.cs, and since your system is locale is German I won't be able to understand the error without a translation

hardy hatch
#

which Part do you need a Translation for? The last Errors have all been in English

#

I'd like to help with that

move it

you can also paste the output

clear out your Intermediate directory

winged moss

it is literally called Intermediate

hardy hatch
#

oh

winged moss
hardy hatch
#

🀦

#

yeah

#

that makes it easier

#

thought that was like a special name for a certain type of subfolder

hardy hatch
#

oooh

#

aaah

#

I get it

#

Iw as looking for that exact name

#

didnt pay attention since the names started differently

#

mb

winged moss
#

you can also remove PleasePackage.cpp/h now it's generated the minimum required build files

hardy hatch
#

aye

winged moss
#

and then after clearing Intermediate you should be able to generate the VS solution

hardy hatch
#

ah yes, looking much better now!

#

I can't judge it but Stuff happened this time

#

and I got the sln File

winged moss
#

open it and try compiling the editor

#

it should default to the development editor configuration already

hardy hatch
#

apparently VS needs some Plugins/Extensions to open the file, so it's gotta download about 5 GB now

#

I'll report back once it's done!

hardy hatch
#

not VS?

#

ah yeah it seems that way

#

I'm trying to package it now :D

winged moss
#

??

hardy hatch
#

hm?

#

I just thought we did this setup to do something in VS, but apparently not

and it seems like I can build the Project now

yeah perfect, it works!!

thorny creek
#

my usual method of using the project launcher is failing me due to what I assume is a command line char limit

#

there's like 20 different ways to package, what should I be using in this, the year 2023?

thorny creek
#

looks like project settings > list of maps to include in a packaged build is what I want

#

what I'd really like to do is package every map except a given list

#

wonder if I can use the asset manager to do that...

mystic atlas
#

You can add a folder to package and just put all the maps you want to package in that?

#

Keep the ones you don't in a separate folder.

thorny creek
#

eh moving stuff is out of the question sadly

mystic atlas
#

Ah well

thorny creek
#

indeed. if only moving and renaming files in UE would move / rename them in p4 rather than creating a redirector and destroying the version control history of the moved/renamed asset

#

by far my biggest complaint with UE

mystic atlas
#

You'd think it would add a new entry for the redirector and move the original file

#

Move it within p4, that is.

#

I don't think it can handle adding a new file into the same location as a moved one, though.

#

(in the same CL)

thorny creek
#

yeah I talked to an epic engineer about this a year ago or so and it's a big challenge apparently

#

but god it's killing me. We really value the file history and the diff feature in UE, and to lose that to have better file structure isn't worth it, even though we'd love to have a better file structure now that our game is in full production rather than the prototype stage...

#

tempted to just pay an engineer to figure out some solution for us

mystic atlas
#

Well, technically, you could just disconnect p4 from the editor, move the map, fixup redirectors and such, close the editor and then move it again through p4 and then do a reconcile.

#

Super efficient workflow...

thorny creek
#

oh my favorite!

#

on another topic, is buildgraph worth using?

#

eventually I'm going to need to do stuff like generate the build for a target platform, upload debug symbols, push to sales platforms...

#

looks kind of too opinionated and I might be better off writing my own script in python or somesuch

at my old studio we just used a modified build graph for the UGS binaries but that's it

# winged moss Check Target.cs? That is literally the file to determine if a game module should...
using UnrealBuildTool;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class TDHServerTarget : TargetRules //Change this line according to the name of your project
{
    public TDHServerTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target) //Change this line according to the name of your project
    {
        Type = TargetType.Server;
        DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V2;
        ExtraModuleNames.Add("TDH");
        ExtraModuleNames.Add("Server");
    }
}

This is the Server.Target.cs for the server build, Im obviously doing something wrong tho. TDH is the game module Server is the module im trying to add but is always missing

winged moss
#

Calling a module just "Server" seems like a terrible idea

vital dirge
#

Maybe, its just a module that contains a game mode that I only want to package with the server

winged moss
#

For the same reason calling a project "Test" causes issues

#

Since that's a build configuration name

vital dirge
#

Should I try renaming it and see if that helps ?

winged moss
#

Yes

vital dirge
#

aight will do that now

winged moss
#

Though I'm not sure if the client will complain that it can't resolve the GameModeClass. I would just use #if UE_SERVER instead

vital dirge
#

The client doesnt mind I guess, the client builds ok with that module blacklisted

#

If I cant get it working ill just go back to using the #if checks, but I just read somewhere that fortnite was using a server specific module for the game mode, so wanted to try it...

#

Either way I still want to learn how to package a module, even if I have issues with the client not having the gamemode etc, ill still need to know for other modules I ever want to make

Although Class /Script/AnimationData.AnimationSequencerDataModel is imported by a package but does not exist in memory. EditorDomain keys for packages using it will be invalid if it still exists. is still holding me back I think

  2. I have no idea what to do next

#

I don't know how there's comfort levels associated with specific versions of the engine

full cosmos
#

its complicated

#

well would it be safe to idk migrate it to some newer vers

winged moss
#

well that's the kind of thing source control is for so if there's a botched engine upgrade you can revert it

full cosmos
#

maan idk maybe i'll just rebuild the level one by one

#

thank u for ur help tho

#

i appreciate it

#

its a brute force approach but i reckon if i just rebuild it manually eventually i'll see whats wrong idk

#

so NOW it doesnt crash its something within the level im rlly getting somewhere

bulk data is usually something with texture mips so I don't know if you had a potentially corrupt texture or something with bad settings, but you wouldn't be able to tell that without debugging your game executable

Failed to copy C:\LiveSimDepotRoot\depot\Plugins\SortVectorBlake\Binaries\ThirdParty\SortVectorBlakeLibrary\Win64\ExampleLibrary.dll to C:\LiveSimDepotRoot\depot\Saved\StagedBuilds\Windows\LiveSimulator\Plugins\SortVectorBlake\Binaries\ThirdParty\SortVectorBlakeLibrary\Win64\ExampleLibrary.dll, deleting, waiting 10s and retrying.C:\LiveSimDepotRoot\depot\Saved\StagedBuilds\Windows\LiveSimulator\Plugins\SortVectorBlake\Binaries\ThirdParty\SortVectorBlakeLibrary\Win64\ExampleLibrary.dll
but the solution (and my project's solution) both compile fine and the node works fine in game. I just can't package it - seeing this hierarchy, what do I need to update to resolve this error?

winged moss
#

you created a plugin with a third party library for some reason, just nuke the ThirdParty directory if this is not what you intended to do (likely)

#

open the Build.cs in Source/SortVectorBlake to remove the reference to the third party library

inner island
#

but my plugin stuff is IN that ThirdParty directory - somehow i ended up putting it there when I made the library

winged moss
#

move it

inner island
#

even though what I made was a librrary from a template

winged moss
#

yeah, you selected the third party library template rather than the blank one

inner island
#

just understand - I have no idea about the folder hierarchy and path names

winged moss
#

move any custom code from Source/ThirdParty to Source/SortVectorBlake, then delete the Source/ThirdParty directory

#

open Source/SortVectorBlake/SortVectorBlake.Build.cs to remove any references to the "thirdparty" module

#

regenerate the solution

inner island
#

so I just need to move the SortVecgtorBlakeLibrary.Build.cs and SortVectorBlakeLIbrary.tps files from this folder to the SourceSortVectorBlake?

winged moss
#

where is your custom code?

inner island
winged moss
#

which is what the Build.cs fixing is supposed to be

#

and I have no idea what you did

inner island
winged moss
#

I said move custom code only

#

I'm not sure why you moves the Build.cs and tps file

#

those should be removed

#

BUT ONLY THE LIBRARY ONE

the formatting is messed up for some reason, but you need to remove the thirdparty thing from the dependency list

I don't see it there

Unless you mean SortVectorBlakeLibrary?

yes

You'd have to use an audio importer that converts it to a sound object during runtime - not sure if I can export or not

What causes the bootstrapped game exe to be placed in a packaged/staged build? (the shortcut style exe that is placed at the root of your staged build during BuildCookRun, not the binary itself)
I have two build machines running the exact same commands but one places the exe in there and one doesn’t. I’m assuming its some weird config thing? I’ve looked through every single arg for build cook run and found nothing, though that shouldn’t matter as they are running the same commands.

What does the "For Distribution" build option do?

#

Is there any difference between just packaging in Shipping build and having "For Distribution" on? It mentions in the tool tip that it's "for publishing to the App Store", does it have any effect on Windows builds?

#

From the docs it looks like it's only for mobile store, please ping me if there are any other benefits to enabling it! To submit an iOS or Android game to the App Store or Google Play Store, you need to create your package in Distribution mode.

Hi πŸ™‚ Does anyone has experience with HLOD generation for big (8x8km in my case) open world maps? My packaged build gets really big once HLODs are generated. Without HLODs the build has around 8GB (we have a very stylized graphiscs style, so there are no big textures involved). With HLODs the build size increases to almost 60GB. I already tried different texture size in the HLOD layer material settings (down to 256x256) which did not have a big impact. I also tried different HLOD layer types (Simplified and Approximated, the later one did not yield very good optical results for our map). But I had no success in reducing the packaging size. I am using 5.2.1.

Hello there, I'm having an unusual issue.

When I run my game in the editor from the main menu, it launches the next level with no issues. However, when I package the game to give it a test run as others would play it, when I push start on the main menu it just... loops the main menu again?

I can't seem to find a reason for this happening, because as I said, in the editor it loads the map up with no issues? Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

Have you added the other levels to the list of maps to package?
