I'm trying to use UnrealPak.exe to pack one map file and it keeps saying:

LogPakFile: Display: Added 1 entries to add to pak file.
LogPakFile: Display: Collecting files to add to pak file...
LogPakFile: Display: Collected 0 files in 0.01s.
LogPakFile: Display: Added 0 files, 55 bytes total, time 0.03s.
LogPakFile: Display: Unreal pak executed in 0.091345 seconds

and then the pak file is empty

this is my command: UnrealPak.exe D:\PAKS\Minimal.pak -Create="C:\Users\Danny\Documents\Unreal Projects\LevelTest\Content\StarterContent\Maps\Minimal_Default.umap" -compress

Hello guys! We made some changes to our game which optimized the gpu largely. The gpu thread is 6ms faster when we package in debug mode, but oddly enough its much slower in shipping. Anyone knows why that might be?

mh trying to build/package using RunUAT.bat, but it seems our plugins are not recompiled? (their binaries are ofcourse not in our repo). I thought UAT can handle all, but do i really need to invoke msbuild before?

Hello, we have packaged our game and checked that r.TonemapperFilm 0 doesn't work when doing a Shipping release.. How can we disable that thing to have exact pixel color?

Hey guys. We have an automated packaging server for both our dev-stable and Release branches. It worked all fine in 4.17, now we jumped to 4.19 and now the following issues occur:
The build command finished successfully, but the Cook command looks for .DLL files of the game and plugin modules - which it cannot find (as they are really not there). The build command only output's .LIB files for each module since 4.19

#

is there a new UBT setting or something?

#

LogModuleManager: Warning: Module file ../../../../../../Build/dev-unstable/Plugins/UEVideoRecorder/Binaries/Win64/UE4Editor-UEVideoRecorder.dll is missing. This is likely a stale module that must be recompiled.

#

It only outputs UE4-UEVideoRecorder-Win64-Shipping.lib

This is our Build script:

LastGPUBenchmarkMultiplier=1.000000
bUseHDRDisplayOutput=False

And when I package (shipping) the game, and I execute it, it creates in C:\Users\Dani\AppData\Local\Project\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor folder a GameUserSettings.ini without the default settings like this:
```[ScalabilityGroups]

#

DRM wrapped for Steam that is

dusk mantle May 16, 2018, 10:28 PM

#

the instructions should work for any executable binary or are you talking about steam online access and checking if you're connected

#

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/sdk/uploading#Building_Depots By default, all content is always encrypted, on all retail discs and on all content servers. Switching a game to preload mode means owners can download the content, but it stays encrypted on the users' disk and can't be played. Once the game becomes officially released, Steam will decrypt the preloaded content and the user can play the game.

Hey guys, I created my own installed build version, however there is only Development and Development Editor configuration in project solution. Is it possible to add there DebugGame somehow too?

#

RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script=Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml -set:WithDDC=false -set:SignExecutables=false -set:WithWin64=false -set:WithWin32=false -set:WithMac=false -set:WithAndroid=false -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithLinux=false -set:WithHTML5=false -set:WithPS4=false -set:WithXboxOne=false

#

I used this command to create it

#

in 4.18

#

(had to disable win64 target too because it was causing unknown error)

#

I was making installed build in desperate try to make vs project faster and to prevent engine recompiles

#

hey guys

#

simple question: how do i package a game with unlit viewport?

frank garnet May 23, 2018, 10:24 PM

#

You cant

#

There maybe an way to manage changing the scene to Unlit via the console but i highly doubt it would be able to be done in an packaged shipping build.

#

Do some research and google around to see what you can find.

#

Check for an console command.

shell birch May 23, 2018, 10:53 PM

#

i tried using the level blueprint (Event BeginPlay > Console Command : Viewmodeunlit)

#

i think thats the command

Its a packaging error, they can be fixed.

At least your project opens? Yes?

Yea

I can play it in the editor

Or any other compiler error

Do you need to go into source code for that?

frank garnet May 29, 2018, 3:30 AM

No this is most likely an corrupt asset somewhere

You just need to find it and fix it

It maybe more than 1 asset as well

#

Ok

#

How does one search for those?

frank garnet May 29, 2018, 3:31 AM

#

Yeah its not as easy as searching "Corrupt Assets" man lol

#

Use the Logs, delete or at least attempt to open any assets that appear above that Error in the Log

open rapids May 29, 2018, 3:31 AM

#

They don't just show up somewhere i suppose

frank garnet May 29, 2018, 3:32 AM

#

Generally the problem assets will be directly above the Error

open rapids May 29, 2018, 3:32 AM

#

I see

#

Will try to go over all of them but that error just showed up below some other seemingly random asset

#

when i deleted the other one

#

Thats a bit strange

#

maybe i should go overt that one aswell

frank garnet May 29, 2018, 3:34 AM

Try opening them first

Instead of deleting them

Open and Compile

Hey,

I've packaged my game for Steam without using the .pak option (since steam requests that your game shouldn't be compressed) but I've noticed that the game packages all the project files including the directory structure.

This includes the .uproject file as well as the .uasset files.

Does this mean that anyone can download my game and get access to the project files and open it up in unreal editor? Is the safe (from theft I suppose) to have all your content packaged like this where it shows the list of all your blueprints, contents you've used etc?

Sorry if my question is simplistic, but I'm a relative newbie to unreal.

Thanks in advance,

mellow bane Jun 1, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

@covert gorge FYI, pak works well without compression too

#

We have that set up - single pak file, no compression, Steam patching works perfectly

covert gorge Jun 1, 2018, 1:51 PM

#

@mellow bane thanks! This is helpful.

#

@mellow bane do you how difficult it is to reverse engineer a game from a pak file? Are there anything else I can do to protect the files that are in the packaged directory?

mellow bane Jun 1, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

I haven't looked into that. Generally speaking, I consider that shipping on PC is akin to releasing the assets publicly

#

If your game is any big, people will find a way to get into the assets

#

I recommend to ignore it, or embrace it, rather than try fighting it

covert gorge Jun 1, 2018, 1:54 PM

#

I understand, good advice. Thank you @mellow bane

most of the time I package my game to play on a multiplayer base, once I create the server I try to get in with clients. I do not why but even if it compiles without errors the client could not load map and it his sent back to main menu after a loading. I have a world composition map 8km*8km and it is completely empty except for one square and the landscape.
is this a commor error or I have to look more deeply?

Hey mates. Quick question.
I want to migrate a blueprint (random flowers blueprint from Blueprints project). I am using a little different folder structure than Blueprints project. It really is just asking where the "Contents" folder is and simply copy/pastes the files and gives a warning if I want to migrate it to a folder under content folder. When I do of course it does not work because it is unable to find pathways.
Is there a way to migrate it and still make it work ?

I want to pack the ue4 project for a web browser. I clicked "Launched" and then "chrome". The project packed successfully but this was a test scene with nothing inside and it was packed with 400MB size. If I make a complete scene this size will be much bigger. Any guidelines or other alternative solutions to pack a project for a web browser?

Hey guys quick question, how can i setup my UE4 package to automatically open a specific .umap when i open it?

vital narwhal Jun 6, 2018, 6:44 PM

That's in the project settings, you can set a Startup Map as well as an Editor Startup Map

Hi all.. Can anyone provide any ideas as to what is causing the main issues with Packaging here ? I'm willing to pay someone that can work out the issues and resolve the Errors preventing it from packaging correctly. Any advice be much appreciated. - Output Log - https://pastebin.com/nqdK0Xed

When packaging, does it include all the assets from the project or only used assets?

mellow bane Jun 7, 2018, 9:28 AM

#

All assets

limber ferry Jun 7, 2018, 9:28 AM

#

is there some way to remove unused assets then?

mellow bane Jun 7, 2018, 9:30 AM

#

Look for unused assets and remove them

#

People have also tried the "migrate" approach, migrating levels to another project so that assets are filtered, but well

limber ferry Jun 7, 2018, 9:35 AM

Ah, I selected the maps that I want to package and that did the trick

I have a strange issue that is occurring with a VR packaged game in engine version 4.19.2
This has mostly to do with what is being seen on the monitor while the VR application is playing. The application works just fine with Oculus but on Vive there is a strange aspect ratio flicker that is happening, it seems to be trying to adjust for a more stretched aspect ratio over the default one that the application starts with.
However when in a development build and I set the application to run through a different spectator viewing mode that is anything but the standard single eye letter-boxed it will be stable but the the image on the monitor is then set to one that is looking distorted.
Has anyone else come across this problem in 4.19.2 with a Vive build?

Hey guys, could someone confirm that
a list of maps from Project Packaging Settings is automatically appended to list of maps from Project Launcher Profile? It should not be like this but somehow this is my case.

What I do:

I set Map1, Map2 for cooking via Project Launcher Profile
I set Map1, Map2, Map3 for cooking via ProjectSettings (so called "list of maps in a packaged build" field)
I run packaging process via Project Launcher
Result pak file contains THREE maps: Map1, Map2, Map3 instead of 2. I expect only 2 maps to be in the result pak since Project Launcher Profile contains only two maps: Map1, Map2.

#

This is the command that Project Launcher Profile uses to run packaging process:

hey, I created a custom shadow for my character (a plane with a transparent black text on it), and for some reason it's here in the editor, but not in the game after packaging, any idea why ?

cunning elbow Jun 10, 2018, 5:54 PM

#

found where the issue comes from but no idea why / how to fix it though..

#

the Spheretrace by channel works as expected in the editor but it points to a completly different direction in the packaged game

cunning elbow Jun 10, 2018, 8:15 PM

ok after struggling for many hours, I figured that line trace (or any kind of trace) does not detect spline mesh component in standalone..

yes DevilsD this is a file i have in my plugins folder, i am not sure why it wont read it as i already compiled the plugin

the file is in that path as specified - the file is for a code plugin i downloaded and installed. everything works for the packaging until that fatal error there. i have tried to look at this reference but to no avail yet - https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Engine/Blueprints/TechnicalGuide/NativizingBlueprints/Advanced. is it possible that i may need to select more blueprints to nativize? as i only select the main possessed pawn the two interfaces it uses.

I set the Blueprint Nativization Method to Exclusive and added my main possessed pawn and the two interfaces

Hey guys. I'm creating and automating functional tests for my project. But apparently, UE4 only allows to run functional tests on a project environment (.uproject file).

Is there a way to run the tests on packaged Win32/Win64 projects?

jovial oasis Jun 20, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

not that I know of

#

well

#

nvm

#

I'm wrong

#

If you build it in test mode, I believe you can run it from command line in the game

#

You can also run it from command line before it's built too

I've automated all of mine for that as part of my packaging process at my game studio, if you'd like documentation let me know

@copper hearth You da real MVP

copper hearth Jun 21, 2018, 5:47 PM

#

@jovial oasis Thanks! I will try to do exactly that and see if it works. If you can share me the documentation it would help me greatly too.
You see, i'm using this command line to run functional tests in my game.

"C:\...\UE4Editor.exe" "C:\MyProject\Project.uproject" -ExecCmds="Automation RunTests Functional Tests" -testexit="Automation Test Queue Empty" -unattended -nopause -log=autolog.txt -Windowed -ResX=1920 -ResY=1080 -Game -silent -nologtimes

As you see, this line is using the UE4Editor and the .uproject files to run the tests. Maybe, there's no way of running "UE4 functional tests" on a packaged .exe game. But if i create my tests without relying on the Automation Tool, maybe i would be able to run the tests on an .exe project.

@mellow bane Development

mellow bane Jun 22, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

Then yeah, Development is way slower

trim summit Jun 22, 2018, 9:02 PM

#

why?

mellow bane Jun 22, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

Because it's a dev build with plenty of checking

#

To catch errors early

trim summit Jun 22, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

what checking?

#

does Shipping skip check functions?

mellow bane Jun 22, 2018, 9:05 PM

#

I think check is kept

trim summit Jun 22, 2018, 9:06 PM

#

then what does it do in terms of optimizations?

#

I know it skips stats and drawdebug functions

#

anything else?

mellow bane Jun 22, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

Thousand upon thousand of dev features get compiled out

#

Just look for UE_BUILD_SHIPPING in the engine source

#

Development isn't that slow, it's not the debug build, but it's still slower

#

Also plenty of feature changes, like where save data is written etc

trim summit Jun 22, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

is there a perfomance comparison somewhere?

mellow bane Jun 22, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

Will depend on your game, like everything performance related, so try it

#

But you need to ship in Shipping anyway, so

trim summit Jun 22, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

I still don't understand why exactly I sometimes get so much perfomance gain, there are too many UE_BUILD_SHIPPING macros

#

and most of it is stats and visualisation

#

or static stuff

mellow bane Jun 22, 2018, 9:16 PM

#

Then profile it

#

^which is best done with the Test build, which is Shipping, plus console and cheats.

#

In any case, always ship Shipping, always develop with Development / Debug

trim summit Jun 22, 2018, 9:19 PM

#

test configuration only has like two stats

mellow bane Jun 22, 2018, 9:20 PM

#

Should have startfile

hello friends, I am trying to do a nativized compile and only one BP is giving problem so far

Does anyone know what "max number of uobject is related to? I can compile np non-nativized, but this is the only problem I have for now 😦

anyone know how to resolve the following package warning:

#

Hmmmm.. Is it ok to ask a swarm-related question in here? Not sure which category "building lights" goes to...

#

In 4.18 if I try to build this one specific level, it just keeps doing the "lightmass starting" for hours without nothing ever happening.
Up until now I've been able to get around this issue by opening 4.17, building and empty level and then leaving the 4.17 swarm open -> going back to the 4.18 project and building the light (which then uses the 4.17 swarm).
But now I'm just stuck with this one level... 4.18 keeps doing the "lightmass starting" forever and 4.17 swarm gives me this (yet still continues to do it up to around 68% -> gets stuck there and after some time gets to 100% but crashes the engine.

Tried to use google but all I found was other people with this issue and no clues on how to fix it.

#

Guys a question.

#

Is nativization packaging supposed to take very long time?

#

I got a 400 MB project that is taking 1.5+ hours to package.. and it didn't end yet. 😦

#

A non-nativize packaging takes around 10min max

rancid mountain Jun 23, 2018, 9:43 PM

#

@hollow haven It does take longer

#

usually double

#

TBH, the longer it is, the better

#

Means more to nativitize 😃

hollow haven Jun 23, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

@rancid mountain Uh.. The thing is. If I fully nativize I get some errors so I tried to nativize only big blueprints, and it's not finishing.. I see some fatal errors here and there...

#

#

Mr Burgos, what do you think this is about? The thing is, full nativize packaging finishes after 40 min but then Headertool gives the error at the last part.

#

Stating UObjects reached its limit, but I dont get this error at normal-packaging. Also I created "Stage_Camera_Core" from scratch and the nativize error just jumped to another blueprint, I am at a loss T_T

raven vale Jun 24, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

No worries

rancid mountain Jun 24, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

Anyway, since I am already here

#

Nativization doesn't work 100%

#

So, if you get errors on anything, use Inclusive

#

And exclude it

#

Rather

#

📎 unknown.png

#

Use Exclusive, and select your big BPs

#

anything that errors out, kick it out of the list

#

I've disabled it completely from my project because it's more of a pain than worth right now and I don't really suffer from performance loss (and I am doing VR)

#

But, when it works, it really works well.

#

@hollow haven @oak shell Here's some payback 😉 , but wanted to make sure the info was received.

hollow haven Jun 24, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

Ehm. Thanks for the response. I am sure a lot of people are busy with their own stuff and noone knows how the internal packaging shizzle works (I assume) other than Epic Games so the least I expect is a response back from people regarding errors. ^^

#

In my humble opinion, ignoring the errors does not make them go away. And even when I chose Exclusive, I saw some "internet fatal error" warnings which completely locks nativization process, as it just stays stuck at "Packaging project..." for at least for 4 hours now.

rancid mountain Jun 24, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

so the least I expect is a response back from people regarding errors. What?

hollow haven Jun 24, 2018, 2:50 PM

#

I mean not everyone can know what errors are for (or why they happen) so if they dont respond back, I understand ^^

rancid mountain Jun 24, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

If you don't want to ignore the error, then by all means go ahead and rewrite the nativization source code

hollow haven Jun 24, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

I am unsure why you are rude about it. <.<

#

I am going to send the project to Epic so they can check about it and maybe let me know if I am mistaken, even if my project is %98 blueprints.

rancid mountain Jun 24, 2018, 2:54 PM

#

Not being rude at all, just being practical here. Of course you can submit bug reports, as everyone should do so. But if you want to package your project anytime soon, then you'll need to either a) exclude the BPs causing the fails, b) edit the source code to make it work or c) not have a project to package

#

Your choice really.

#

I guess something between a) and b) would be edit the BPs to make them work

hollow haven Jun 24, 2018, 2:55 PM

#

I misunderstood the way you word it then, Sorry. I am just a blueprinter but I got no hurry to publish my product so. ^^

#

From the videos I see that nativization is a really big help when it comes to performance, so I don't want to ignore it just yet. ^_^

rancid mountain Jun 24, 2018, 2:56 PM

#

There's a thing called over-optimization

#

Where you prioritize optimization over getting shit done

#

Not saying it's a terrible thing, but it can be a slippery slope

#

Packaging every so often (or daily) is great, but if there's something causing it to fail. Then you know what you should do. And that's get rid of the thing causing it to fail (or fix it if you can)

#

Unless your project is suffering from 5FPS or lower than 30FPS (or whatever your target frame rate is), then don't worry about optimization until you need it. It's not bad to be cautious though. Every few weeks (or once a month) you can do an optimization pass using the profilers and cleaning things up

#

This is where I would be using the Nativitizer

#

First, trying to optimize the BP BEFORE adding it to Nativization stack

#

9/10 times you'll be fine without Nativization in any big project

#

Like I said, I am on a pretty big project and instead of using Nativization as a crutch, I have optimized all my logic in BPs

#

If it ever gets fixed properly or I feel like adding a select few of the bigger BPs, then I'll do that. But I rather just use common sense and good practices over some "one-button-wonder-that-barely-works"

hollow haven Jun 24, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

You are correct Mr Burgos. But the thing is I am making a Fighting Game Template that people can create their own fighting games with it. This means solid 60 fps is required for everything to work properly as literally everything matters in a single frame and it all needs to work proper.

A FPS game maybe can do still fine at 40 or 50 fps, but I don't have that luxury. The main Character Core is extremely heavy and tick dependant. 2 Fighters (Street Fighter Style) it's all fine. But make the number up to 8 and more, we start to get problems. A frame skip is not acceptable as it's a disadvantage for one player and advantage for the other so.

I know that I can do better as you said regarding the optimization but I still need the best outcome possible. I tried that "excluding / deleting" aswell to get rid of the problem, but here is the problem:

#

PackagingTest/Intermediate/Plugins/NativizedAssets/Windows/Game/Source/NativizedAssets/Public/Stage_Camera_Corepf2489059294.h(281) : LogWindows: Error: Maximum number of UObjects (100000) exceeded, make sure you update MaxObjectsInGame/MaxObjectsInEditor in project settings.

#

You could say this blueprint is the problem. I already recreated it. But then the error showed up at another blueprint. I recreated those too. But I started to see that even the smallest UMG can be selected for error, like one got barely anything in it.

#

You see Unreal is not giving me a list of blueprint errors. It just picks one. I recreated it, and the error than mentions another blueprint, that is actually very simple too.

#

** LogWindows: Error: Maximum number of UObjects (100000) exceeded** So I wondered if people knew what this actually meant, that's all ^^

rancid mountain Jun 24, 2018, 3:05 PM

#

Show your logs

#

I mean, it's pretty obvious what it means

#

Tells you exactly the issue

#

How you have over 100000 uobjects is concerning though

#

Like, that's probably like 1000x the size of my project

#

https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/473702/aximum-number-of-uobjects-8388607-exceeded.html

#

And a simple google search

hollow haven Jun 24, 2018, 3:06 PM

#

That's impossible to have on my case Mr Burgos. I got like max 170 in my scene.

rancid mountain Jun 24, 2018, 3:06 PM

#

Read that

hollow haven Jun 24, 2018, 3:07 PM

#

📎 Capture.PNG

#

My error does not happen on compile. I already did enough search trust me on that part.

#

My template works fine on non-nativized packaging. It takes only 5 mins and no errors at all. And the game is fine.

#

Since I am working on a Fighting Game Template, all I got is menus and their buttons, a stage, and 2 players with controllers.

#

It's not like a Star Wars game with 50.000 ships around xP

flat glade Jun 24, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

hey guys! was wondering, is it possible to use the AssetManagement stuff only with Blueprints? Or do I have to use c++ to set the AssetID's and whatnot?

flat glade Jun 24, 2018, 8:12 PM

#

seems like the way to do it is the create a PrimaryAssetLabel, and assign the related assets in there or in a subdirectory to be associated with it.

Anyone have any insight on best practices here?

fiery iris Jun 25, 2018, 7:22 AM

#

Anyone got an idea why some of our assets their material gets screwed up with a release build? A normal shipping build does it just fine but when doing the whole release build suddenly some materials become green etc

#

I got only a 275MB game that I want to nativize. It took 10 hours to get to that error.

I could understand if it was a big project and normal packaging takes like 6 min

Sure it's on my end?

Nevermind, it was two corrupted blueprints.. Gee..

maybe it runnable if have graphic card 🤔

heady obsidian Jun 28, 2018, 11:28 PM

yeah 😮 I have someone who wants to run clients on server side and connect via a thin client to run the apps. I think its not possible but I want to test instead of assuming.

misty bluff Jun 28, 2018, 11:29 PM

#

can be try. probably its work

heady obsidian Jun 28, 2018, 11:30 PM

#

running a UE4 app via thin client? That would be awesome!

#

I want to know how many concurrent connections you can support, if you're able to get it working.

#

My thought is that it may run with minimal issues if there's only one thin client connected to the server, but as you add more thin clients, it creates more game sessions, all of which start taxing the GPU.

misty bluff Jun 28, 2018, 11:40 PM

#

@heady obsidian I was running the server mode, so i didnt try it. i think runnable for client mode. Btw server mode not using the GPU. so no need any graphics card.

heady obsidian Jun 28, 2018, 11:41 PM

#

Yes, if you're running a dedicated server, there is no rendering being done. If you're running clients on the server side and farming them out to thin clients, I suspect that all of the rendering is going to be done server side and that's going to hit the server GPU instead of the thin client GPU. I suspect that would bottleneck the number of concurrent connections a server could host concurrently.

#

I have people testing a UE4 app on a server running Windows Server 2016, but they're having trouble just getting the app to run just on the server. They asked me if I can support Win2016 server and I don't know because I've never tried to deploy to that platform.

#

Sounds like you have an asset with a shit name

wooden prairie Jul 2, 2018, 11:35 AM

#

@mellow bane it was a russian name haha

#

But i changed the name and tried again same error

#

Removed the file. Same error

#

Idk what to do

#

I installed 19.2 i hope that it will fix

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 11:47 AM

#

It won't

#

Don't install an entire new engine that's going to come with many changes just to fix your project

#

@wooden prairie If the file is still causing issues it means it wasn't actually deleted, probably just replaced by a redirector.

#

Run "fix redirectors", ensure the file is physically gone from the folder using Explorer

#

This isn't black magic

wooden prairie Jul 2, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

@mellow bane where to run fix redirectors

#

The file is gone

#

In Explorer

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

If it's gone, packaging should work fine now. At least it's not going to keep failing on that file.

wooden prairie Jul 2, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

Still failing

#

I will try fix redirector

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

No need if the file is actually gone

#

But then I doubt it's failing on that file

#

Paste the new log if in doubt

#

Fixing redirectors once a week or so doesn't hurt

wooden prairie Jul 2, 2018, 1:10 PM

#

@mellow bane I just fixed redirectors

#

Lemme see if it works

#

@hollow magnet Do you have experience with this issue?

What you already had the time to rebuild your game and cook

@mellow bane Rebuild?

I never clicked rebuild

Well unless it's one of these full Blueprint projects

Its 99% blueprint

I only used C++ for Discord

There is no military folder anymore

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

do ue4 .pak files expose assets by default or i should enable some sort of encryption?

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:23 PM

#

Depends on your definitions of "expose"

#

UE4 defaults to packing them in an archive, you can disable that to have the individual asset files as on your dev environment

#

You can also opt in for encryption, IIRC

#

Not that it offers any real security

#

On PC, mobile and Switch, you should consider all released assets to be publicly available

wooden prairie Jul 2, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

@valid hazel you can enable encrypting

#

Project settings > crypto

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

Which won't do much

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

why? I know that its virtually impossible to make the assets inaccessible because the engine has to load them into memory at some point, but at least if they are encrypted and somehow "compiled" they should be fairly complex to obtain

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

Security from your users doesn't exist on platforms where users control the operating system

#

You might think you're running the game in a legit environment that's actually Wine running on Linux through a debugger

#

Encryption makes it more complicated, but at the end of the day you're not getting any real protection, you're just spending more time & performance to require hackers to spend more time & performance

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

Hello friends. A question. Is ther any way to find what's wrong between a fully packaged game and a fully NATIVIZED game? Normal packaged got no problems but nativized blueprint version do.

#

I got the feeling the blame is not on me but I wonder what I can do from my side. 😦

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

Nativized is unstable and should only be enabled for specific Blueprints you found to perform bad

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

As i said its impossible to give the users the content and hide the content at the same time. But sometimes making it hard to hack can do the job since not all the users are experienced in reverse engineering

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

I understand.. I almost had it working though. T_T

#

There are like small problems here and there.

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

@valid hazel Most users are not going to have any interest in getting your assets anyway

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

And in some cases it would be harder to hack the software than to do the assets w/o hacking xD

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

Here's how I see it : hacking the game itself, like if it's a MP game, doesn't need assets or anything like that

#

Encryption is relevant for trying to deter people from looking at your assets

#

One legit reason is trying to prevent spoilers

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

yes

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

If your attack model is "people are trying to steal my game assets", my point of view is that it's a useless endeavour - those skilled enough will end up succeeding anyway, the others you probably don't really care about

#

And law is on your side on this

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 2:40 PM

#

for example what happened to the binding of isaac, some features/lore has been discovered in a unnatural way hacking the game

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

Yeah, successful games get reversed just for this purpose

#

Anyway, look into encryption, but be sure to have good practices with your releases too. Hiding stuff from PC users is generally only viable if you have a small community

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

But unreal is a pretty popular game engine, idk if there's a user friendly hack tool to reverse unreal projects since the packaging may be similar on all projects

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

There probably is

#

IIRC there's a package reversing tool

#

Well there used to be, dunno how up to date it is

valid hazel Jul 2, 2018, 3:00 PM

#

About nativization, yesterday i tried to fully nativize a small project and worked nice. Should i try to nativize all i can or it can break things? I mean, i know there are problems with nativization but are those problems into translating BP to code or the problems occur after the translation because they dont work as expected after the nativization?

#

Also is there a tool to show the cost in ms of the BP and Graphics? Some sort of profiler?

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 3:20 PM

#

nativization is kinda odd...

#

what works on regular packaging doesnt seem to work on nativized one

#

I tried to nativize exclusively but it was broken in 4.19 and still is at 4.20 preview, which will be fixed at later version hopefully

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 3:38 PM

#

@valid hazel @hollow haven basically, nativization is messy and risky. It's not a good idea to apply it to all Blueprints, and it's not efficient.

#

People want a "make my game run faster" button - the reality is, you need to profile in depth, identify slow parts of the game, optimize these parts

#

There is a CPU profiler (start startfile/stopfile in console, then Session Frontend window)

#

There is a gpuprofile command in console for the render cost

#

Plenty of reference online too

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

The problem is there is a child blueprint nativization bug that Unreal 4.20 supposed to fix, but they instead broke the "exclusive" completely, with AoT giving dll errors.

#

I just felt sad abit when Unreal responded "it's your project's fault" when I stated "normal packaged game is fine, its nativization that is wrong."

#

I love the fact that they contact you back and they test your project on your behalf, but I just hoped they would be more on the side of "well it's maybe Engine's fault". 😦

#

nativization can be messy but putting blame on a blueprinter won't make it any less messy, it's just we are avoiding the problem then >.<

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

The problem here is that Blueprint is basically a programming language

#

Nativization moves from a virtual machine to machine code, few languages even have that option

#

Whether it's engine fault or project fault is a technicality at this point

#

The goal of the feature is to offer last-minute optimization for specific small parts of your project

#

At least that's the reasonable scope for it right now

#

If you definitely have real performance issues for some Blueprints, move them to C++, this might be an unpopular opinion but C++ is still required for serious projects

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

Mhm. You are correct. Anyhow preview 5 is up, let's see how naughty that baby is -.O

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

Full of bugs like all the previews 😛

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 3:48 PM

#

Sadness, is all I am.

#

Actually the preview 4 is quite stable.

#

It's just that UAT got its dll problems. Maybe they got fixed D:

#

My project also got ALOT of complicated blueprints. If nativization can handle it, I bet it can handle all other stuff!

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

Haven't tried 4.20 yet tbh, not much stuff that I was impatient to get.

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

Oh it got a "Exclusive Nat Packaging" error fixed. But then they broke it completely.

#

because thats how Epic works 😛

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

This is where I usually say that "broken" can be subjective. I've seen the word used for anything from "unable to work even on developer machine" to "it displayed a strange warning once"

#

Seriously though I'd guess Epic has an attitude of "the engine is the reference" - as in if it doesn't work, fix it in your project

#

Game tech moves fast, it's not an industry where you usually have very stable & mature tech with huge documentation etc

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

Mhm :/

mellow bane Jul 2, 2018, 3:56 PM

#

Basically if a reasonable Blueprint isn't working and there is no clear workaround, then yeah, it's broken

#

If your highly involved Blueprint that does everything is broken, well, it's not that clear cut

#

There isn't a super clear line between a rock-solid engine that prevents all mistakes and your Blueprint graphs, there's a huge engine that integrates some of your logic, and sometimes it's very hard to decide if something is supposed to work or not

#

This is why engine updates are never trivial affairs, we spend weeks testing new engine builds before moving on and we're as small a team as it gets

#

(To be clear, UE4 is definitely full of bugs)

hollow haven Jul 2, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

well... then I shall cry at a corner. T_T

I'll ask this here because its related to packaging and maintaining a sane project. Is there a secure way to move folders with its respective hierarchy and assets? I ask this because i have a huge folder and every time i move the folder for second time i receive errors.

#

and i feel bad because idk what's doing the engine...

#

I know it assigns a unique hash to each asset etc etc... How can i move things securely?

#

Is it a good idea to do this kind of stuff in the regular windows explorer or it will break things?

For Oculus GO do I package for Android ASTC?

still quiver Jul 4, 2018, 12:21 AM

#

@valid hazel Things will break if you move via windows explorer, dont do that for sure. From what I have found you have to do a move folder within the engine. Even on my dev pc it can take some time and I try to move small folders at a time. Also make sure to backup before messing with it all.

After the move you can also right click -> fix folder redirects too

hollow haven Jul 4, 2018, 8:23 AM

#

@valid hazel Never move everything in one go. The second time you open the engine the references will mostly NOT be saved.

#

From what I experienced, after you move the items you need to get in the blueprint and go to "File -> Refresh All Nodes", regardless of seeing Compile as Tick/Ok.

#

You should do that for all of them.

vital narwhal Jul 5, 2018, 9:28 PM

#

Those dll loads aren't important, they're optional profiling dlls that usually fail to load

#

your actual error is probably happening AFTER that. If you don't have a stack it may be an infinite loop or something weird, open it up in the debugger

Could be... though the level doesn't have any level blue print... And other maps seem to work via serveral travel . Also this error only happens on the same levels and in the editor stand alone play feature. When I build my project. The serveral travel works on all maps.
