Texture Guidelines for Mobile Platforms

Texture creation and properties for mobile games.

#

Does the "Per Device Texture LOD" really strip off the Texture sizes > than the Max LOD?

#

Example: I have a texture imported that is 2048x2048.
The Max LOD for my Device is set to 1024. Does it actually reduce the Texture Size completely and packages it or is the Higher LOD simply not rendered?

Who's got experience with packaging UE4 on a VPS ?

#

Are you looking to be able to do automated builds?

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

Yup

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 10:50 AM

#

I use an Jenkins instance on my own server machine to act as an Build and Distribution Server

#

Compiles and packages the project then uploads it to an FTP

#

completely automated

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:51 AM

#

I have the entire build&release process automated already - except it uploads to Steam, rather than FTP

#

I was looking at remote machines to not do it on a work machine

#

Wondering about the requirements. Is a GPU required for cooking ? etc

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 10:53 AM

#

No. My Build Server connects to Perforce and checks if there are any changes. If there is. It syncs and then does an build. Its only purpose is to build. Its an old Dell Poweredge R610 Server, doesnt even have an GPU

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:54 AM

#

Nice ! How about memory ? Is that project dependent, or will it just be super slow with 4GB ?

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 10:54 AM

#

RAM and CPU speed will determine your build times. Also having fast drives helps

#

My Server has 40GB of RAM

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:55 AM

#

Should be enough

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

It can build and package an 60GB project in around 3 hours, but it takes nearly 6 hours for it to upload (final package size is only about 7GB) cause my upload speed is shit lol

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

Ahah, okay

#

Thanks for the feedback

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

Take an look at Jenkins

#

Its an Continuous Integration system

#

Designed for this type of automation.

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:57 AM

#

Yeah I know about it lol, I was looking at the hardware side

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

Oh roght

#

Well i bought my server on ebay for $700 about 2 years ago

#

Its performed well beyond my expectations

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

It looks like Windows VPS are super not cost effective :/

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

The time savings have been rediculous

#

I dont use my workstation to build anymore

#

I just send an request to my server and in an hour or 2 have the build there n

mellow bane Feb 15, 2018, 10:59 AM

#

I'll definitely keep building myself since I don't build the engine, it's very fast. Just looking at something more autmated

#

Anyway, thanks a lot !

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 11:00 AM

#

No worries.

#

Yeah those build times i mentioned are from building from source.

#

You can cut that time down dramatically on an launcher build

midnight glacier Feb 15, 2018, 11:08 AM

frank garnet Feb 15, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

I dont use virtualization. I have Windows Server 2012 slammed onto an 840EVO that i hotwired into the Sataport that the built in dvd drive would usually use. I have an 3 disk raid for data storage as well.

@desert valve if this is from the Epic Launcher build of the engine, you probably just need to install Android support.

desert valve Feb 15, 2018, 7:11 PM

Hello all! First time here, so im not exactly sure where to post this, it's a packaging issue and at the same time a mobile issue so i'll just try both channels that are meant for it i guess.
Anyway the problem is when i tried to publish an app to the AppStore, Apple AppStore that is, during the review they gave me a response that:

Your app uses or references the following non-public APIs:

MTLDebugDevice

But i can't find any info in it, neither can i find anything in the engine it self.
I am kind of lost here, if anyone is able to point me in the right direction that would be great!

Cheers,
Shad

pine crest Feb 16, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

Anybody?

slender solstice Feb 16, 2018, 4:46 PM

#

I'm guessing MTL means Metal, which is Apple's graphics API

#

I can't tell you why specifically that would be an issue, however; I've never really worked with Apple stuff :/

#

You're sure you're running a shipping build when exporting it? They might not like debug libraries getting uploaded to final builds

#

@pine crest

pine crest Feb 16, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

I got that far as well with it, it's part of their own damn renderer 😄

#

and the wierd thing is that, the whole packaging is set to Shipping and For Distribution, no debug files no nothing included

desert valve Feb 16, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

Question: can I include a saved game file as part of a package when packaging ?

desert valve Feb 16, 2018, 7:51 PM

#

So I made a kinda..level editor when the game is running and I save all the stuff that's created in a .sav file. I was wonder if there was a way for me to provide that .sav as part of the packaged product. Anyone mess with this before? (So I can provide some premade stuff to get ideas and stuff.)

sterile pier Feb 16, 2018, 10:32 PM

#

@pine crest I've seen this in the 4.19 previews, in case you happen to be using it.

pine crest Feb 16, 2018, 10:36 PM

#

Im working with 4.18.3 @sterile pier

sterile pier Feb 16, 2018, 10:36 PM

#

yeah I just looked at the 4.18 source and looks like it got introduced in 4.18

#

If you're building from source you can edit Engine/Source/Runtime/Apple/MetalRHI/Private/MetalCommandQueue.cpp and remove these lines:

    Class MTLDebugDevice = NSClassFromString(@"MTLDebugDevice");
    if ([Device isKindOfClass:MTLDebugDevice])
    {
        Features |= EMetalFeaturesValidation;
    }

#

otherwise you might have to wait for the full 4.19 release or downgrade to 4.17

pine crest Feb 16, 2018, 10:47 PM

#

Oh!

#

Ok thanks i'll look in to it asap, cheers, you're a life saver!

sterile pier Feb 16, 2018, 11:21 PM

#

It looks like they pushed the same fix to the 4.18 branch on GitHub (sha d8c88dad18bd33ab20cddb7e7a1aa5f46d5a9724), so if they release 4.18.4, it should get fixed there as well.

Has anyone figured out how to get the windows taskbar icon to be a custom one when building with RunUAT? For some reason mine stays as the generic ue4 icon when I build with RunUAT, but when I package from the editor it works fine.

#

I've tried adding a rc file manually as well, but that didn't help

#

"D:\UnrealEngine-4.18\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT" BuildCookRun -project="C:\Users\ethan\Documents\Unreal Projects\IconTest\IconTest.uproject" -noP4 -platform=Win64 -clientconfig=Development -cook -allmaps -build -stage -pak -targetplatform=Win64 -archive -archivedirectory="C:\foo"

hi , I am trying to package game and everything works fine but I noticed that there is one warning in output log when packaging. Problem is that this file does not exist and I didn't find any file that would be referencing this file. I have tried to use "Fix up redirectors" and "validate assets" but problem still persists. It looks like there is some reference to this file but I have no idea where, I've looked on all the files and found nothing

#

mellow bane Feb 19, 2018, 3:28 PM

#

@finite gull I haven't had this issue

#

Might be because you're doing a Development build

finite gull Feb 19, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

You are doing shipping I assume?

#

The icon in file explorer is correct. But the one on the windows taskbar is the generic one.

#

I'm looking over the command that building from the editor runs to see if I'm missing some flag

mellow bane Feb 19, 2018, 3:30 PM

#

If it's okay in explorer it will be okay in the taskbar

#

It's the same file

#

Windows just does some weird caching stuff IIRC

#

Try on a clean machine, or pin it to taskbar

finite gull Feb 19, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

I don't think it's a caching thing. The icon at the root level is correct in windows explorer. But the icon for the exe under Binaries/Win64 is the generic ue4 one.

mellow bane Feb 19, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

Which executable do you start the game with ?

#

The root one right ?

finite gull Feb 19, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

The root level

#

I reproduced in a new project tho, so there is no way it is caching

mellow bane Feb 19, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

Try in shipping then

#

I'm pretty confident both exec should have the icon

#

And yes there is some caching too. Windows definitely can switch icons for the taskbar when you pin it because it actually looked the icon up

finite gull Feb 19, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

Yeah I know that. I'm not talking about pins tho. And it works when building from the editor, so I don't think it is a development/shipping thing either.

#

When I build as development from editor both the root level and the win64 exe have the correct icon

mellow bane Feb 19, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

Dunno what to say, really. I only use UAT for building

You're welcome, this command line was reverse-engineered from the editor tools

#

Kind of a huge pain to get to work reliably on Windows & Linux

finite gull Feb 19, 2018, 4:00 PM

Right, yeah I should have done that. I think I went from this wiki originally https://wiki.unrealengine.com/How_to_package_your_game_with_commands

How to package your game with commands

#

which doesn't have everything. But yeah wish it was documented

mellow bane Feb 19, 2018, 4:01 PM

#

Yeah

#

You're welcome to use our scripts, the goal is to have them as practical as possible

#

Basically we run a first script to build all releases, we copy the output to test it locally

#

Then we run a second script to upload everything to Steam

is there a way to re-establish references when importing assets from migrated projects? at the moment i use the reference viewer to fix up missing textures but there has gotta be an easy way surely? 😅

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

a migration should pull references to migrated textures and etc

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:41 PM

#

odd, i'd think so too but a couple of times recently i have tried adding assets to an empty project and have to spend time manually setting the textures inside materials.. todays example was a retrospective look at the free gamejam assets from epic

#

maybe it's how i'm doing it? copy and paste the assets inside the content folder of a new empty ue4 project >> open

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

you should right click on the asset in the old project -> migrate

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:44 PM

#

i don't have an old project.. these are assets direct from epic with no associated project

#

📎 unknown.png

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:45 PM

#

oh this is tom's stuff

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:47 PM

#

pasting those inside a content folder causes the paths to differ.. the reference viewer shows the texture paths relative to the original project e.g. orig_project/textures and not the current one e.g. new_project/textures

#

the folder structure is maintained but because the project is different you still have to manually tell each texture node inside each material to look for them

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:48 PM

#

yeah am not sure how to fix that as epic's stuff is usually distributed via the launcher that allows you to add assets cleanly to projects

#

migration literally solves this

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:48 PM

#

migrating a 2nd time from the new project? or from the original?

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:48 PM

#

from the original

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

k.. that leaves one option. renaming the new project to match the original

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

although migrating from a second project will keep the references for future projects

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:49 PM

#

yea. let's hope that the physical drive isn't included in the path references

#

Now, simply copy the GameJamKit folder to your own project’s Content folder. <-- install instructions from Tom

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:57 PM

#

@muted path how does one keep references preserved reasonably in the gamejamkit?

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:57 PM

thanks michael 😉

worthy wigeon Feb 22, 2018, 5:58 PM

#

neon falcon Feb 22, 2018, 5:58 PM

i don't think this issue is localised to Tom's assets though, if you google ue4 missing input texture there are a lot of people reporting the same issues

(x64 windows) I don't know if this is the correct channel for this, but I am wondering if it is possible to attach Crash Reporter to games launched with the Launch button of the editor. If I run the game inside the editor window and it crashes, I get the Unreal Crash Reporter as expected. I can set it in project options to attach the Crash Reporter to the packaged game. But I don't know what to do about game level started with the Launch button 😦

Hey everyone, getting a packaging error with 4.18 within an engine class (InstancedFoliage.cpp line 2649)

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogOutputDevice: Error: Ensure condition failed: Lhs.Array.Num() == Lhs.InitialNum [File:D:\Build++UE4+Release-4.18+Compile\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Containers/SparseArray.h] [Line: 781]

#

Is this a known engine bug/has anyone else come across it?

dreamy panther Feb 26, 2018, 6:41 PM

Resolved the above error by not cooking and packaging the map that contained the foliage (not needed)

wind fiber Feb 27, 2018, 1:29 AM

does anyone know what the AllDesktop target platform is for? does it allow using the same cooked content on win/mac/linux ?

#

Hi all, is anyone having issues in 4.18.4 with packaged builds not loading in the default game map?

#

Currently our packaged builds are loading into a totally blank map (black screen) and I have to open our main map via console command, not ideal, and not something we can do in shipping builds

wind garnet Feb 27, 2018, 12:48 PM

#

Maybe try to add the map to the "list of maps to include in a packaged build". Normally it would include the map automatically if it is set to the default map, but maybe somehow it doesn't 🤔 Just a guess though, haven't worked with 4.18.4 yet

dreamy panther Feb 27, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

Yup, I've tried adding the map to the list of maps as well

#

I've verified that the map is in the project as I can open it via console command, so it is definitely packaged, but the method of loading the map causes a crash

#

It's the LoadFrontEndMap method from the ShooterGame game instance .cpp

#

#

Your answerhub is still a bit light on details, but "/Game/ProjName/Maps/MapFolder/MapName" is probably the wrong path

#

unless you literally have a ProjName folder inside Content. /Game maps to /Content on the drive

#

In general for issues like that you're going to have to get into the debugger and see where the string is going wrong

How can I find out where my game is being packaged to (dir) from a post-build step? This is a Y problem, my X is that I want to replace CrashReportClient's DataRouterUrl with my own. Previously I had success with adding my desired value to <project>/Config/DefaultEngine.ini, but right now I'm seeing a different file DefaultEngine.ini in <packaged_dir>/Engine/Programs/CrashReportClient/Config/DefaultEngine.ini

YES. in the package the binaries folder has two a Win32 exe and a Win64 exe

hey guys, when preparing build for android, it's helpful to disable some plugins we don't use in the project to gain some performance boost? let's say paper2d, audio capture, etc.. ?

wind garnet Mar 8, 2018, 9:39 AM

#

Not sure about performance boost, I think not, but it would possibly decrease size of the apk 😃

"ke * " console commands dont work in shipping builds?

vital narwhal Mar 8, 2018, 7:58 PM

Yes, disabling plugins will definitely reduce packaged size, especially on windows. It strips out some content but more importantly will strip third party dlls like occulus/etc

I cut about 80 mb out of my deliverable by disabling plugins last time I did a pass

@open rapids Might ask here for server packaging with a lower memory usage

#

How to package without textures ?

#

Maybe how to run a server at lowest possible mip level, etc

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

Ye ah I'm not sure.

#

I thought something like this would be automated

#

Like textures should be running only on clients, and servers could just use

#

the world grid material

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

Which would have consequences for gameplay, like grass becoming opaque

#

In any case, this is where your high memory usage comes from - too many textures, too large

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:12 PM

#

Why would that occur though

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:12 PM

#

No textures = no opacity information for transparent / masked objects

#

= Every Visibility trace fails all the time on fog or light shafts or stuff like that

#

That's why textures are packaged

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

Well, there should be some sort of possible way of using a texture that's defaulted

#

in the engine

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

Removing them isn't a trivial and safe idea

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

only for server side lol

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

You don't get it

#

For all masked & transparent materials, you just need the real texture from your game

#

Unless you're sure you never, ever, rely on that for gameplay

#

For the record I don't know if a minimal build is possible, I'm just saying there really isn't anything automatic and obvious here, because it's risky and potentially game-changing

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:16 PM

#

So here's a question

#

Would replacing my textures with smaller 1k textures

#

do anything

#

im assuming yes lol

#

so i guess ill just try it

#

Another cool thing would be if you could change it so that servers use lower res textures than clients

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:22 PM

#

You can start by looking closely at all objects

#

And set the max texture size for all textures based on whether it's really needed

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:25 PM

#

True

#

Is there anything else it could be besides textures?

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:26 PM

#

Yeah, huge distance fields

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:26 PM

#

k

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:26 PM

#

Use the size map on Content (and wait half an hour)

#

You'll have the real biggest offenders

#

Then if you have three 4K textures on a stupid bush that's seen from 10 meters at best, trim it down

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:28 PM

#

yea

mellow bane Mar 19, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

2048 is generally a safe bet for most assets

#

Then if you're doing a MMORPG with open-world and want 4K everywhere, well, having lots of memry on your server is just the cost of doing business

open rapids Mar 19, 2018, 9:31 PM

#

#

seriously tho

#

how does rust manage too have 4k textures

#

with only 2gb memory usage

is someone having issues with packaging in 4.19?

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 3:42 AM

#

Currently trying my damndest to compile a 4.18 shipping package with logging enabled. Every time I do it it just hits me with a bunch of these errors

UE4-VRExpansionPlugin-Win64-Shipping.lib(Module.VRExpansionPlugin.cpp.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "struct FLogCategoryLogTemp LogTemp" (?LogTemp@@3UFLogCategoryLogTemp@@A)

From the looks of it this is happening because DEFINE_LOG_CATEGORY isn't working for whatever reason. This would happen if LogMacros.h got loaded before Build.h, maybe, since NO_LOGGING results in a nulled out definition. Anybody @here encountered this before?

#

The way I got to this point was just by throwing this into my target.cs bUseLoggingInShipping = true;

#

but I've also tried manually changing the default in Build.h (without doing an engine rebuild) and adding Definitions.Add("USE_LOGGING_IN_SHIPPING=1"); to all of my build.cs files

It may also be worth noting that I have IWYU enabled

#

I'm grasping at straws

#

But, kinda strange

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

i commented it out because it didn't do anything

rancid mountain Mar 20, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

Is this your first time building the game?

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

was a test

#

no i've built the game 100+ times

#

but never attempted shipping logs

rancid mountain Mar 20, 2018, 4:03 AM

#

And it just randomly started not working tonight?

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 4:04 AM

#

after adding bUseLoggingInShipping = true; to target.cs

#

supposedly this is supposed to end up setting the macro, which I believe it is doing, but clearly it's not sticking for some reason since DECLARE_LOG_CATEGORY isn't working

rancid mountain Mar 20, 2018, 4:05 AM

#

@fierce summit 4.18?

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 4:05 AM

#

yes

#

the PSHUsage line enables IWYU, I have a hunch this is causing issues because I have found 0 people on google that were unable to solve this problem

rancid mountain Mar 20, 2018, 4:06 AM

#

I havent' tried this before for shipping, I would just use Debug/Dev builds

#

That's what they are there for 😃

#

You are trying to override it

#

Looks like it defintiely works on Source build.

#

Can't find anything that it works in Launcher though

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 4:10 AM

#

that's what I usually do. issue is that shipping uses a different save folder, meaning players lose all their data until I switch back to shipping. so i can't push a dev build to main. And the issue(s) I'm trying to track down is extremely hard to reproduce so ideally I'd just grab somebody's logs when it happens

rancid mountain Mar 20, 2018, 4:10 AM

#

Move it out of TargetInfo

#

And into TargetRules

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 4:12 AM

#

i am setting it on TargetRules, I think. That's the constructor for a TargetRules object, so bUseLoggingInShipping should be scoped to TargetRules. Info.bUseLoggingInShipping = true; throws an error since TargetInfo is read only

#

I've seen the Unreal Answers posts about this, the consensus seems to be to put that line in there.

#

unless you mean to move it outside of the constructor

#

which i am currently attempting

#

#

@fierce summit LogTemp isn't really supposed to be used in final packages, I have two classes where I forgot to switch to a declared log so its not finding coreglobals.h when you enable that option

#

i'll fix that, but you will need to do the same in your code

#

it only comes up when packaging with that boolean

meager thunder Mar 20, 2018, 4:24 PM

Also there was an unrelated UBT error that I found while going over it, I reported it to epic, i'll PM you details as until they fix it you won't be able to use that anyway

fierce summit Mar 20, 2018, 9:47 PM

@meager thunder wow I was digging way too deep. Of course LogTemp isn't for shipping... 🙄 thanks for the help

Hey packaging experts. I'm trying to package for the first time and I'm getting 2 errors I cannot solve:

"UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): Cook: LogInit:Display: LogProperty:Error: UStructProperty::Serialize Loading: Property 'StructProperty /Game/RTS/Interfaces/Interface_Interact.Interface_Interact_C:IsCarryingResource.InventoryItem'. Unknown structure.

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): Cook: LogInit:Display: CookResults:Error: Error Unable to cook package for platform because it is unable to be loaded: C:/Users/Erik/Documents/Unreal Projects/Masks3/Saved/Cooked/WindowsNoEditor/Masks3/Content/rts/rtsassets/Textures/UE4_LOGO_CARD.uasset"

I don't understand how to fix these. I fixed other similar errors like the first by marking the "saved" checkbox on certain structs, but that's not possible on an interface.
And the second error is due to an icon, but all my icons seem to be in order, the "WindowsNoEditor" folder doesn't exist (I tried creating the folders and adding the .uasset there too).

#

Any ideas would be extremely helpful

#

I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I can't figure it out

gentle jewel Mar 26, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

Anyone know any tricks/things to try when getting an error during packaging UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogInit: Warning: Incompatible or missing module: UE4Editor-ProjectZ.dll ?
My project was previously packaging Ok up until tonight, and I haven't made any significant project changes that should cause any issues AFAIK

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:18 AM

#

When packaging out my game, the default save game location changes and thus breaks the save game function, any idea how or where I can change the location?

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:23 AM

#

@rapid plank That's normal and expected

#

Your game shouldn't care where data is saved

#

As long as you use UE4's "saved" folder an don't hardcode any path, all will work well - you shouldn't try to change the location of that folder

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:26 AM

#

I know it's normal but it can't find the save file it created, it creates it fine and I know where it goes but the game just can't find it after that

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:29 AM

#

C:\Users<your-user-name>\AppData\Local<your-game-name>\Saved

#

AKA %LOCALAPPDATA%<your-game-name>\Saved for a shortcut

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:30 AM

#

Yeah that is where it is going, but why can't the game find it?

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:31 AM

#

If the game can't find it, you probably messed up the reading logic.

#

We construct the path like this ourselves : FString::Printf(TEXT("%s/SaveGames/%s.json"), *FPaths::ProjectSavedDir(), *SaveName)

#

ProjectSavedDir is the important part

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:33 AM

#

It works fine everywhere else, just not when it's packaged out so the logic is okay

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:34 AM

#

If you hardcoded a relative path, for example, that would be why

#

Make sure you use ProjectSavedDir on reading, too

#

Are you using Blueprint or C++ ?

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:35 AM

#

Mostly BP

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:35 AM

#

Get a close look a the path you're using to read from - display it on the screen for example

#

Or just show me the Blueprint for that

#

Like I said, this is a common problem for people who use something like "../../Saved/mysave" as a path

#

This works well in dev but is very dirty, and breaks down in shipping builds because programs shouldn't write data in their installation folder.

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:40 AM

#

Okay, I'm just having a look through now

#

I'm doing the save game via BP, so basically just does it exist, yes load it, no create it and save, nothing out the norm

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:48 AM

#

So how is the path constructed ?

#

Well if you're using the game save API, the path should be fine

#

Are you using SaveGameToSlot ?

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:50 AM

#

I am yes

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:50 AM

#

Like this https://docs.unrealengine.com/portals/0/images/Gameplay/SaveGame/Blueprints/LoadGameBP.png ?

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:52 AM

#

Not exactly like that no, but yes it works

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:53 AM

#

How is your Blueprint like ?

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 9:57 AM

#

without all the cluttered vars of course

📎 save_game.png

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 9:58 AM

#

You need to,create a savegameobject first

#

Look at the graph I linked above

#

Both loading and saving need the object

#

Dunno if this is why

#

I o,ly work in C++ myself

#

When in doubt, look at the documentation and mirror what they do, it should work well

rapid plank Mar 26, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

The save game object is created if it doesn't exist so it can't load ever load unless there is something to load

mellow bane Mar 26, 2018, 10:01 AM

#

I don't get it, but like I said, do exactly like in the doc and you'll be fine

Hello. I spent the whole day trying to make my packaged game launch in fullscreen mode, but it always launches in windowed-fullscreen. Triple checked everything and never got it to work.
My game user settings file have this settings:

Found nothing regarding this issue. Can someone help me?

The only way I managed to work was when I went to my video settings menu, switched to windowed-fullscreen and then switched back to fullscreen mode. (The video settings menu even loads from the 'game user settings' correctly as fullscreen mode when I launch the game.

We have rendering machines here with 6 GPU's per box and we want to run UE4 instances on each GPU so we can distribute the rendering out across all 6 gpu's.. I believe this is possible to go into the nvidia panel, manually select the gpu, then run one build, go back, select a different gpu, run another instance and so on but this is tedious.. We would much rather be able to edit an .ini and run 6 instances with configured ini's and be done with it.

Adding and modifying r.GraphicsAdapter = 4 in the ConsoleVariables.ini does nothing unfortunately, the build always comes up using the same GPU regardless.. Any ideas?

#

Even thought our .ini has =4 as the Graphics adapter you can see the logs ignore it:

question: If I want to have some data files as part of my project, and distributed with my built game, but I don't want them in the uasset system (i.e. just loose files on disk), should I still keep them in the Content folder?

@vestal bay Not sure exactly what that is but did some digging and it appears to have something to do with the sequencer.

My best guess would be to check any sequence for oddities.

So I tried running UE4 using a virtual box and It failed because it doesn't have DX11, if I build/package the project and tried to run it on the box again will I have the same issue?

Anyone know if I can unpack my own project file? I forgot to make a back up and I need to check out what I did to break my code. I have my project file still so could I get a key from that or something?

winged moss Apr 6, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

@shadow panther yes, you need 3d acceleration to run a cooked game the same way as the editor

#

if your plan is to use the VM as a server, build the server target instead

#

which doesn't need a graphics card

Hi guys,

I'm working on Arch viz project.

I have to do a packaging test, and the process fails.
I use the menu File - Package Project -> Windows 64

at the beginning, the Error Log report to me a material error. Now, I deleted this materials, and the error is now :

LogWindows: Error: FMemoryWriter does not support data larger than 2GB. Archive name: None.
LogWindows: Error:

I tried to reduce all the lightmaps ( select all actor mesh -> override lightmap -> 64 ), I tried to delette the biggest objetcs, check Compress Lightmap, check Chunk level.... but nothing

Pack failed, same error.

What is the problem ? :/

Thanks all

vital narwhal Apr 6, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

For that 2gb crash you'll have to debug it and see exactly what is so large, no way to guess from just the error. Something somewhere is too big

drowsy prairie Apr 6, 2018, 4:09 PM

#

hii @vital narwhal thx for ur replay how can i debug it ? do u mean the log files search in them ??

vital narwhal Apr 6, 2018, 4:48 PM

#

In the debugger, or look at the stack trace

#

The log may have hints. But you're going to have to get pretty in depth here with the code

Hi everyone,
I just tried to test package a project, but I got the biggest error message I've ever seen.
The packaging fails with:

PackagingResults: Error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
PackagingResults: Error: UBT ERROR: Failed to produce item
Command failed (Result:5) <UBT command>. See logfile for details: 'UnrealBuildTool-2018.04.07-00.59.29.txt'
UATHelper: Packaging (Linux): RunUAT ERROR: AutomationTool was unable to run successfully.
PackagingResults: Error: AutomationTool was unable to run successfully.
PackagingResults: Error: Unknown Error

That logfile is around 2900 lines of "multiple definitions of..." and "undefined reference to...".
I don't even know where to start.

#

Any hints to how I should start debugging this?

frank garnet Apr 6, 2018, 11:49 PM

#

Search the log for all mentions of "Error"

#

Make a list, start at the top.

rich tinsel Apr 6, 2018, 11:53 PM

#

Thats the problem. The first occurrance of "error" is in line 2956 while the first "multiple definitions" is in line 12. I thought maybe theres something I missed.

frank garnet Apr 6, 2018, 11:53 PM

#

Focus on the errors

rich tinsel Apr 6, 2018, 11:53 PM

#

Well the error is "Failed to produce item, Unknown error"

frank garnet Apr 6, 2018, 11:54 PM

#

Right fair enough

#

Can you copy paste 1 of those lines?

rich tinsel Apr 6, 2018, 11:55 PM

#

sure

#

<PATH>/Repository/Engine/Plugins/Online/OnlineSubsystemUtils/Binaries/Linux/libKart-OnlineSubsystemUtils.a(Module.OnlineSubsystemUtils.gen.cpp.o): In function Z_Construct_UDelegateFunction_OnlineSubsystemUtils_BlueprintFindSessionsResultDelegate__DelegateSignature()': <PATH>/Repository/Engine/Plugins/Online/OnlineSubsystemUtils/Intermediate/Build/Linux/B4D820EA/<PROJECT_NAME>/Development/OnlineSubsystemUtils/Module.OnlineSubsystemUtils.gen.cpp:(.text+0x14b0): multiple definition of Z_Construct_UDelegateFunction_OnlineSubsystemUtils_BlueprintFindSessionsResultDelegate__DelegateSignature()'

and then it continues with lits of other modules. So its not just limited to OnlineSubsystemUtils

Hello, I'm developing a local MP game. I've noticed that after packaging the game I only receive input from the first controller. For other controllers to pass input I need to click once with the mouse (probably on the screen). Why could this be happening? Is the game not receiving focus on launch or something?

@sick parcel you could enable it by editing your .uproject file, simply enable it on one project and take a look on what it changes in your .uproject

Not sure what the best approach is but when fixing a packaging error that says file name too long, does anyone prefer long path tool over renaming files from within the content browser?

Treat all Errors as if they are fatal.

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 7:50 AM

#

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 7:50 AM

In this case, you need more information - the assertion is in the engine, but the bug isn't

#

So run it in Visual and get the call stack

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 7:51 AM

not very familiar but I know programming in general

#

I mean I know how to read code but some stuff are weird

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 7:55 AM

#

Just to be clear, C++ is one of the most complex languages there are, it's unforgiving and you can still write great-looking code that fails 1% of the time after a decade of practice, so if you feel like you don't really understand what's happening in your code, you really should look into it before you release that

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 7:56 AM

#

yes I don't plan on realeasing anything soon

#

I just want to give a version to my testers

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 7:57 AM

#

To debug in Visual, right click your project in the tree on the left and hit "select as startup project" and press F5

#

By default it will start as editor

#

Right-click project again, go to properties, debugging, remote command arguments, and add -game at the end of the line

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 7:58 AM

#

DebugGame Editor ?

#

ok

#

I don't have remote command arguments just command arguments

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 7:59 AM

#

#

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 7:59 AM

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 7:59 AM

#

yes there was

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:00 AM

#

After that, on F5 it should start the game within the debugger

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:00 AM

#

ok

#

the game module couldn't be found

#

Should I have UE open ?

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:02 AM

#

With -game, the editor won't open

#

Have you successfully compiled before ?

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:03 AM

#

yes

#

the game opened

#

but it black-screened and the then crashed

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:03 AM

Unable to load module 'Noxel' because the file 'E:/Documents/Unreal Projects/Noxel 4.19/Binaries/Win64/UE4Editor-Noxel-Win64-DebugGame.dll' was not found.

#

Sounds like you didn't compile to me

#

Did you compile, like, right before debugging ?

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

i'm retrying

#

I didn't press F5

#

I used the local windows debugger

#

well now it works

ok so it works no errors

btw thanks a lot for helping me

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

It shouldn't work though

#

Does it work if you right-click your .uproject file and hit "Launch" ?

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

will try

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:08 AM

#

By the way, you need to compile in DevelopmentEditor

#

That's what UE4 uses by default - when you run the editor, or launch like I just said

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

it works

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

You should also package at least in Development, not Debug

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

ok

#

I was using DebugGame Editor

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:09 AM

#

You should really package as Shipping all the time but since you're in test, okay

#

But at least use Development

#

Make sure to always compile in VS before running the game or the editor, too

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

I'm using mostly BP though

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

Use the Debug* configurations only if you know what you're doing

#

If you're not writing C++ you probably never need Debug ever

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:10 AM

#

I don't really know what i'm doing

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

Stick to Development Editor as a build configuration in Visual, don't change that

#

Build every time you update C++ code or the engine version and you'll be fine

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

ok

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

Change your packaging to Development too

#

And repackage your game now

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:11 AM

#

ok

#

it won't take long

#

still having the issue with Assertion Failed

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:15 AM

#

Uh, so can you tell me which files you have in the packaged folder ?

#

You're packaging through the "package" menu in the editor right ?

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

two folders, Engine and Noxel, and Manifest_NonUSFFiles_Win64.txt and Noxel.exe

#

yes

#

rip Pastebin

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:17 AM

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:19 AM

#

Okay, you probably want to remove the folder and retry because you have to builds here

#

Also a Lua interpreter ??

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:19 AM

#

I'm not using it right now and I removed it

#

so it's a useless dll

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:20 AM

#

Just delete the packaged folder and restart

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:20 AM

#

ok

#

maybe I should upgrade to vs2017 ?

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:21 AM

I still get assertion failed

I have no idea what it is

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:28 AM

well I'll just update the plugin

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:28 AM

#

Make sure to look at all the instructions for packaging

#

TBH I'm skeptical of the value of such a plugin

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

yes it's really an optional

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

You're going to need to update and maintain this, create interface for it, etc, it's a lot of work if you're a small team

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

It's the thing that gives more info to the other people on discord about your game

#

you're right i'll just disable it

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

Just my 2 cents, be sure to work on what's important first, no one cares about Discord integration before the game is out

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

true

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

Make sure every plugin you use is well maintained, too

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

though I used the version that they released day one so that may be why

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:32 AM

#

I would never use any plugin that doesn't have the source on github and regular updates with each engine version

#

Really I wouldn't use a plugin I don't want to maintain myself

#

Imagine if two years from now it doesn't work anymore and you have to fix the bugs

pliant rampart Apr 16, 2018, 8:33 AM

#

yeah

#

and I'd have to compile it using cmake for every version

#

so i'm just removing it

#

I'm packaging we'll see if it works

#

note to self : don't use plugins if they are non core to gameplay

#

ok now it works thanks a lot

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 8:37 AM

Are you trying to build or package ?

Does it matter if unreal and Visual Studio are located on differend hard drives?

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 2:03 PM

No

gilded iron Apr 16, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

Okay

#

I can't even package it because it needs the binaries

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

So what's the output log when you get the message ?

gilded iron Apr 16, 2018, 2:05 PM

#

Nothing because of the binaries

mellow bane Apr 16, 2018, 2:06 PM

#

sigh

#

So the "output log" window doesn't get a single log added when you click the package button ?

gilded iron Apr 16, 2018, 2:07 PM

@snow tide I’m not 100% on this, but I believe the issue is the file named “Switch” because of the Nintendo Switch. Try renaming all files so that the word switch is not anywhere in the project and see if the error disappears

So, i have a bunch of materials failing with:

Failed to compile Material for platform GLSL_150, Default Material will be used in game.

afaik GLSL_150 is for OpenGL3 and Mobile/Html platforms? If that is the case, why is it even attempting to do this when packaging to windows when win64 is the only supported platform of the project to date? ever since moving to 4.18 we get 300+ warnings when packaging of materials failing to compile for glsl_150 yet they work perfectly fine in builds (presumably because glsl150 isn't used on win4 builds), how can I just stop this from happening? I see no reason we should have to fix materials for openGL versions that we aren't even supporting/out platforms don't need to support?

Quick question - without going into details - how would I go about making an HD pack for a UE4 game?

#

Is there a way to have a pak that overrides specific textures etc from the main game?

#

Or I can just drop the pack with those textures as-is and it'll override by virtue of load order?

rancid mountain Apr 20, 2018, 4:12 AM

@thorny ember DLC

I feel that's the typical way of doing it these days

Ah, actually, maybe I misread the question

#

@rancid mountain I mean more technical aspect of that

#

DLC yes, but how to ensure it overrides the textures in base game etc

If anyone’s available, could you do me a quick favor?

Import a video into unreal and have it play on a decal, then try to package it.

From what I’ve seen this causes a crash in packaging which I’m unable to resolve atm. I need to know if it’s just me or if it’s more widespread.

The crash I’m getting is “warning: Obj is in another map”

Which is weird because I only have one map, not sure if it’s unable to link the media texture or not.

I’ve also tried importing a new media texture which ended up causing the same issue

You can definitely make it smaller
