Hiya folks, just cross-posting here from blueprints... I'm looking into the patching process and curious what files I need to save (Cooked folder?) in order to patch from old versions? Let's say I want to make both "4.0 to 4.2" and "4.1 to 4.2" patches, but I don't want to keep the Cooked folder occupying space on my hard drive. Can I copy it to an external drive and just put it back in place when it's time to patch? How does the engine know what version to patch from?

I've been trying to find a way to fix this the whole day now and I just tried it in a blank project and got the same error;
I am trying to add more modules to my project. So, I add the ModuleName.cpp/.h and ModuleName.Build.cs files and add the new module to the ProjectName.Target.cs files.
Everything works fine when building for the editor target(ProjectNameEditor.Target.cs)
But when building towards ProjectName.Target.cs things start going wrong...
The second module throws out errors as can be seen in the picture below, switching the second module to the primary stops this so I think it has to be something with IMPLEMENT_GAME_MODULE(all errors are on that line)?
Has anyone had the same problem?

@tacit vector that can be anything. Many of us had this situation before. You need to provide more information and look into logs on device

what does the .bat files do?

are they necessary?

The build configuration should be in Development or shipping?

harsh cosmos Jul 11, 2018, 9:39 AM

#

.bat files contain cmd commands

#

they could be necessary

#

the build config depends on why you build it

#

do you build it for production (end-user), or to continue testing and debugging?

I have removed all PakBlacklists too!

Also is there a reverse Pakblacklist to always include certain engine files? I know there is an always include content folder in packaging settings but this does not allow engine files

still quiver Jul 12, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

Also, am I correct to assume that a DLC should be able to access content / files from the original release. I shouldnt have to re-package release files with the DLC. Right?

this splashscreen takes forever

Does it actually load?

But it just takes really long?

gilded cedar Jul 13, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

Hmm.. My packaged game defaults to fullscreen - and I can't change that. F11 and Alt + Enter make the screen blink like it works for a fraction of a second and then it goes back to full screen. It also doesn't show on my main monitor. I'm not playing around with that in the code - it's a very basic project.

#

ehh.. Stupid problems...

#

Well, windowed mode kinda works...

#

but the window is bigger then full screen. and I cant move / resize it.

#

wtf.

still quiver Jul 13, 2018, 2:29 AM

#

@gilded cedar You gotta program that in via a menu or when the player loads in. I run mine during game mode but also have an options menu for it.

yeah, I just used a console command.

but still dont know how to change default screen

still quiver Jul 13, 2018, 2:31 AM

#

I just gave the screen shot for it - note the last node, save to defaults. It should create a default .ini for your packaged game on the first run. In editor its Play > Advanced Settings > PIE / Standalone / Ect

gilded cedar Jul 13, 2018, 2:32 AM

by screen I mean monitor, not resolution. sorry.

@still quiver It didnt load, it just stuck at the Splascreen and never load the Level

still quiver Jul 13, 2018, 7:44 AM

#

@tacit vector If you havent, make sure to build in a development mode, with debug files and crash reporter on. This may give you an actual error message to search up on. Also I would check your loading screen logic and make sure the loading screen is being removed properly when complete. Finally I'd look in to the optimizing options for mobile devices (if you havent already).
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Platforms/Mobile/Performance

#

Also I would confirm your logic is actually trying to open the level, or that the level is even there at all.

tacit vector Jul 13, 2018, 7:46 AM

Hi all.
I've been fighting with packaging my game for a couple days now. This is the error I'm getting. I have built it multiple times using the build button as well. I'm currently trying to package "By the Book" for iOS.

📎 unknown.png

still quiver Jul 13, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

That looks like you are missing a target file. Try looking in to that - I'm not an iOS dev so I'm not sure which one you would need.

📎 unknown.png

#

Usually GameName.Target.cs is always created for you. Did you copy your folders from a different computer and not copy the source directory over?

ionic dust Jul 13, 2018, 8:01 PM

#

I'll do some investigating, I do all my work off an external drive. that's where I store my projects, while unreal is being launched from the PC itself

#

Most likely related to the fact that I keep the project on the external instead of the PC itself where I use unreal, and go from PC to PC perhaps. Just wish I could figure out how to build a new target file and where to place it.

#

Pretty sure migrating everything would fix it in that case, but that's a pain

#

Just to confirm for anyone else with the problem, migrating my assets did fix the problem. What a nightmare.

still quiver Jul 13, 2018, 9:08 PM

#

Yea typically when you are building from source (or using launcher/frontend) I believe your project needs to be in the engine folder.

Hello, I have a question: I tried packaging my game and some of the level names were too long, so I changed them, re-did all the streaming but now packaging fails due to it being 'unable to find packages for cooking', how can I fix it?

opal cedar Jul 14, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

Packaging takes absolute paths for cooking content. IMHO you should re-add maps for cooking. Also don't forget to delete Intermediate folder before packaging again

tired perch Jul 14, 2018, 7:31 PM

#

I reverted the changed names, tried taking the whole project a few folders higher and removed the intermediate folder, I'm still getting the "LogInit: Display: LogPackageName: Error: DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: 'FloodedCorridorMaze_03' is not a standard unreal filename or a long path name.

@tacit vector Are you perhaps using a developer/debug command to switch between the splash screen and your game?

Try packaging the game as a debug copy to see if the problem changes

I'm having some strange issue.

My game keeps failing to package and keeps tossing out issues about unknown structures
(Example: UStructProperty::Serialize Loading: Property 'StructProperty /Game/Stack/Blueprints/Stack_GameMode.Stack_GameMode_C:Set DifficultyMode.K2Node_MakeStruct_Struct_Gamemode_Base'. Unknown structure.)

I was able to package my game no problem earlier. I decided to package again today and it worked but but I realized that there was a glitch and one of the values in my game was not acting the way it was supposed to. The weird part was that it was working perfectly fine in the editor and on my phone. Only the packaged project was acting up. So I then restarted the editor.

I then noticed that somehow one specific enum value in my structs got reset, including outside of structs. So I set them to what they're supposed to be, saved everything, and now I get the packaging error.

Can anyone help?

#

The game runs without issues and I can also run it on my phone. It just won't package

#

FIXED IT
Finally found a fix for it on the answerhub. All I had to do was rename the structs (just add a letter) and it works. Then just remove the letter if you want.

carmine rover Jul 18, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

My UI widgets are not at all working as expected in a packaged build but work perfectly in the editor. For example my hud has a couple sprites and a few text components that are bound to a function but in the standalone build the text doesn't show up and the main menu is a widget switcher with scrollboxes in them but none of the sub widget switcher index menus populate correctly, any ideas?

I had a fatal crash error as well. it was one of the constructors using objectFinder to find a data table

So, my packaging is successful. Not sure what I did differently. I downloaded debugging symbols and did a 'cook for windows' first, before attempting to package. During this packaging, there was no compiling of shaders (not sure why, yesterday it kept compiling them every time). With the exception of these, it went well.

Well, you have hundreds of failing materials that won't show up in game, but not much more. Is that all the contents from C:\Users\Zibin\AppData\Roaming\Unreal Engine\AutomationTool\Logs\G+EpicGames+UE_4.20\UBT-MyProject03-Win32-Shipping_2.txt ?

You need "Desktop development with C++"

thats it , thanks 😄

mellow bane Jul 24, 2018, 12:09 PM

Cool !

polar kettle Jul 25, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

can you package specifically for a server target build to reduce the size? i mean it doesn't need textures etc.

mellow bane Jul 25, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

Actually it does @polar kettle

#

Usual example is alpha masking on objects + visibility trace

#

Servers embed all assets

polar kettle Jul 25, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

@mellow bane thank you for the explanation. Is there any other way to shrink the size? uploading 25gb every time isn't exactly great

mellow bane Jul 25, 2018, 8:26 PM

#

Well start by making sure you really do need all of the stuff you have

#

Make sure PDB isn't included

#

Tweak max texture size everywhere - you don't need 4K textures

polar kettle Jul 25, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

pdb means package database?

mellow bane Jul 25, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

.PDB file literally

#

Next to executable

polar kettle Jul 25, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

ah debug database got it

mellow bane Jul 25, 2018, 8:28 PM

#

Then, for distribution, you have two main options

Compressed archive + UE4 patching pipeline that basically generate a .pak with all your changes
Uncompressed archive + Steam / other distribution platform that does binary diffs

#

I think the second approach works bestif you're on Steam - larger on disk, but you basically just give Steam your packaging output, it uploads only the difference, clients download only the different vs their current version (even if 5 versions behind)

#

First approach is cool for clients (smaller on disk + same download size) but every now and then, you need to have a "clean slate" update that resets patching and force a full re-download

polar kettle Jul 25, 2018, 8:31 PM

#

is there an option to search through all assets and find if they are used? i am pretty confident i deleted 99% of all unused assets already

mellow bane Jul 25, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

We talked about this yesterday on another channel IIRC, basically if you provide a list of levels to package, speciically, then it includes only used assets

#

If not, it includes everything and everyone and no, can't check what's used

polar kettle Jul 25, 2018, 8:32 PM

#

that is actually good to know, thanks!

Hi! Just a quick question: If a blueprint project has "Execute Console Command"-nodes... do they work in a game packaged for shipping? I have my resolutions stored as "low, medium, high" and then the Game Instance checks which one of the resolutions is set and goes for the correct ExecuteConsoleCommand-node. I just read somewhere something about console not working in shipped package so I've just been wondering if it also effects the "Execute Console Commands" inside blueprints.

opal cedar Jul 27, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

@distant summit of course. games are using many console commands - for instance various scalability settings you can usually set up in some menur.screenpercentage etc, etc ...

vital narwhal Jul 27, 2018, 7:23 PM

#

Some console commands won't work in cooked builds, usually the ones marked Cheat

But most should

Does anyone know how to package for both normal Android and GearVR? I have a cross platform game, and the server only allows connection if the apps are made in the same build. Android alone works and GearVR works, both with server connection, but due to the "package for distribution for GearVR"I am not sure how to get both at once, any ideas? Thanks

#

@tacit vector in project settings in Maps and Modes, make sure your starting map is set right, and under Packaging, make sure your map is included in the build

honest acorn Jul 28, 2018, 9:30 PM

@obsidian veldt use the UnrealFrontend and make Build Profiles

Hello all. I tried packaging my game for the first time in a long while, had some errors and other cook issues, but eventually got it to succeed. But when I double-click on the packaged game application, it launches and then does nothing. No window is loaded, no map, nothing. Just an empty application. Does anyone know what might be going on?
This is with 4.19 on macOS, BTW

No? It's not an iOS game. It's for macOS and Win64. This occurs when I select File > Package Project > Mac

amber venture Aug 3, 2018, 9:59 PM

Can you show us the errors

oak tiger Aug 3, 2018, 11:15 PM

There is no error

#

The game packages successfully from the editor and spits out a an application bundle

#

But when I double click on the app to launch it

#

It properly starts the app and adds it to the list of running applications

#

And that's it

#

No window, no game, no map, no error dialog box. Nothing

#

I have to force quit the running game process to stop it

#

I have been unable to find where the packaged game spits out log files (if it does so at all on macOS)

#

Attaching to the process from Xcode shows that all threads are waiting on a semaphore signal (or similar)

ive finally got my game to package after a week of fixing error and now when launching it crashes almost instantly and thats the warnign i get

#

Arena is the default map

#

build is shipping

#

whats the correct way to package a server with 4.18? it seems ridiculous that i would just package the game and then dump the server.exe in the binaries folder of the packaged game considering there are options to not package UMG blueprints etc with a server

#

oh wait its to load widgets not package my bad, but still

#

but the tooltip for that is "if false, widget references will be stripped during cook for server builds and not loaded at runtime" so how do I cook for server builds? the wiki is of no help for this

mellow bane Aug 6, 2018, 1:17 PM

#

I wouldn't use the editor to package, really

#

Script the hell out of it and use UAT directly

rare pawn Aug 6, 2018, 1:51 PM

#

don't suppose you have any idea where i can find the configuration names for UAT?

#

specifically one for server 😛

#

ok so its a target type, now just to figure out how to pass that to UAT correctly

mellow bane Aug 6, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

Nah, never done server

Hello all. I tried packaging my game for the first time in a long while, had some errors and other cook issues, but eventually got it to succeed. But when I double-click on the packaged game application, it launches and then does nothing. No window is loaded, no map, nothing. Just an empty application. Does anyone know what might be going on?
This is with 4.19 on macOS, BTW
It appears to package and run correctly on Win64
This is the same issue I've been seeing for the last few days. No logs are created when launching the game in the expected logs folder. I don't know what to do from here. Attaching to the process through Xcode shows that all threads are waiting on a semaphore or signal, but I'm uncertain how reliable this is.

oak tiger Aug 6, 2018, 6:00 PM

#

The [-FCocoaGame...] thread is spin-waiting on a mach message

#

And consuming huge amounts of processor time for it

#

Every other thread looks be waiting on a semaphore (probably held by this thread)

oak tiger Aug 6, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

Alright, looks like I found the answer

#

The FullscreenMode setting in DefaultGameSettings.ini must be set to 2 for non-fullscreen window, or to 1 for fullscreen window. Otherwise, the game hangs when creating the window

#

(It was set to FullscreenMode=0 which was causing the hang)

oak tiger Aug 6, 2018, 9:03 PM

#

This seems like a major macOS bug. Anyone from Epic able to advise from here?

opal cedar Aug 7, 2018, 5:54 AM

@open rapids its the default sky sphere from engine content?? If so, you have to copy the sphere to you game...

Is there any way to package my game for Linux without the need to build engine from source.

@astral rock nope

#

Any particular reason that it isn't just a part of the engine from the get-go and you need to go through all the hoops instead?

clever notch Aug 8, 2018, 8:46 PM

I think they wanted to keep the size of the launcher builds down

Could've been handled with a checkbox on installation.

ruby violet Aug 9, 2018, 1:57 PM

#

Hey guys, would you recommend using Compressed packed files for Steam?

#

Our game build is approximately 20Gb. I use chunk ID system, so my chunk sizes are up to 11GB

mellow bane Aug 9, 2018, 2:11 PM

#

If you use compressed packs, every update will basically redownload every modify pak in whole

#

So either have at least 10 or 20 paks that really are different and never updated at the same time, or don't use compression

#

You can also use compression if you use the UE4 patching pipeline, as opposed to just feeding new versions to Steal

#

Anyone having packaging bugs due to navigation with 4.19.2?

#

Packaging and runs fine in 4.18.3

#

Crashes 1/10 times on 4.19.2 loading of map

#

If I remove the Nav Mesh it doesn’t crash

#

Crashes without AI so I’m assuming it’s on navigation generating on a mesh 4.19.2 doesn’t like

#

Like finding a needle in haystack

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

@mellow bane Thanks man! So you mean, if I plan to use UE4 Patching system then I have to use compression for better results?

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:16 AM

#

Just the opposite

#

Want compression on Steam, use patching

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:17 AM

#

So what is better then? My content is divided into chunks of different sizes and every update will affect only some of these chunks

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:18 AM

#

Try the easy way out first - just use compression and see how large updates get on Steam

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:18 AM

#

I tried, having 16GB on disk user usually downloads ~6GB of data to update the game

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:19 AM

#

That's pretty high so you could probably look into further / better splitting

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

I believe 6GB in compressed paks means non-compressed paks give me even larger update sizes

#

?

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:20 AM

#

Actually, no

#

If you change one bit on a compressed pak, you'll need to red-download all of it

#

Because compression introduces random - all the bits will be different after compression

#

Steam is VERY good at downloading only changed data, so uncompressed releases is the 100% best at update size, and download size (at the expense of disk space), because Steam both compresses extremely well, and is very good at âtching

#

In fact, Steam is better than UE4 itself at compression + patching, despite not knowing the underlying data.

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:23 AM

#

Oh, I see. That is clear now. Gonna look at uncompressed paks update size then. Too bad there are no articles about this process (or maybe I don't know where to look at). Thanks man!

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:26 AM

#

Basically, four ways to do it

simplest is uncompressed single pak, yields best download time, least effort, worst disk space
then you have compressed multi chunks, larger download time, average effort, best disk space
compressed single pak with UE4 patching, average download time, most effort, average disk space
compressed single pak with Steam patching, full game re-download on a moved grass brush, least effort, best disk space

#

Sorted by recommendation level

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:27 AM

#

@mellow bane What do you think about having uncompressed multi chunks?

#

Because that is my case

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:28 AM

#

Same performance as single chunk

#

Multi-chunk is only relevant while compressed and well-cut into pieces you never update at the same time

#

Steam will compare paks to generate updates - uncompressed single pak is just as easy to handle as uncompressed chunks.

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:30 AM

#

That makes sense! Ok, will try chunks then anyway

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:30 AM

#

Yeah, compressed chunks is a good compromise.

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:31 AM

#

No-no, I mean uncompressed chunks 😃

#

Because everything is set up already

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

Uncompressed chunks is just exactly like uncompressed single pak

#

Except you spend time assigning chunks for no difference in results

#

Unless your game is capable of nifty stuff like playing while downloading because your custom launcher manages that, or something.

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:32 AM

#

Except you spend time assigning chunks for no difference in results
Already did it because I used compressed paks first

#

but 6GB update size is killing me

#

ofcouse I can split files into more chunks but that can be hard to do at some point

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

Uncompressed will yield better download times on updates

#

Chunks or no chunks

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:34 AM

#

Mhm, will check that! Thanks again!

ruby violet Aug 10, 2018, 11:51 AM

#

@mellow bane Last question if you don't mind! If you have experience with UE4 patching system. What if updates will be only ue4 generated patch files?

#

Oh sorry, you answered above. Never mind!

mellow bane Aug 10, 2018, 11:55 AM

#

Pak patch and new executable.

Is anyone here having issues with packaged 4.19.2 maps crashing on load if they have dynamic Nav Mesh bounds?

#

I’m about 7 months into my project and need to update to 4.19.2 for wmr support but my stable really performant game turns into a buggy mess after going to 4.19 from 4.18.3.

#

I’ve been able to eliminate most issues by updating my vs 2017 to the latest version (apparently there was a compiler bug in previous version) but I’m still getting random crashes when generating walkable triangles on map load in packaged game.

Hi, just checking to see if this is an issue I can workaround, but currently having some issues with the project launcher displaying the "launch" icon in grey with a red exclamation mark in the middle.

Hovering over that to see what's up shows an empty tooltip. It's a strange issue since unselecting seemingly random options inside the profile suddenly makes it available for launching (even if it's the same option as it was originally)

Info:
4.19.2 source build (built this evening after having this issue with an older source build that was also 4.19.2)

Fresh pull of the project from source control and that version is known working other than the ProjectLauncher but this is also the first time it's been used with this project.

Using Linux toolchain v11 5.0.0

Visual Studio 2017 (latest version whichever that currently is)

Closing and reopening the launcher doesn't fix the issue

Hey guys, why on earth we have all the stuff packed to obb instead of nicely packaged to .pak files?
We were following the documentation and creating the profiles (android) for APK and DLC. We have PrimaryAssetLabels created, chunks created, patching system up and running, in Asset Audit is all nicely sorted. But still, we got the paks generated, but should be like in tens of MB not in bytes...We saw some topics regarding this on forums but with no answer. Someone who can help me?

Which is better? UFS or pak files?

Hi folks!

Posting in hope someone has any ideas here. I'm packaging my game for Nintendo Switch. Building with every configuration other then shipping works fine, but when I build as shipping, installed game crashes during the engine initialization, somewhere on starting the messaging module. As far as I have gotten the feedback from Epic, messaging module is disabled in shipping builds and should not be loaded there (and that porbably leads to the crash). Now the problem is that I don't have any clue what messaging module is, or what might be responsible for turning it on. Does anyone know anything that might help me?

So I deleted my Saved and Intermediate folders and a lot of my weird packaging errors went away that had to deal with my BPs. However I still have 3 errors for static mesh files that don't exist anywhere in my game but keep failing the packager. I go to where the compiler says it's looking for them and confirm they don't exist but how do I find which files are referencing the mesh files that don't exist.

#

I have never once used them in any maps or references so I don't even know where to look.

I added it as a Dropbox link to the bottom of the reddit post

#

It's a nativization error

#

So you can disable it and have your game packaging

#

You can report it to Epic so that they fix it, unless it's a misconfiguration of your project - there are a few warnings in the log about it

#

Never used nativization so I can't say

quasi jungle Aug 24, 2018, 8:55 AM

Never thought nativisatiom would be the problem, thanks g

icy tinsel Aug 24, 2018, 1:30 PM

how do you debug the cooking process? do you use vs attach to process?

mellow bane Aug 24, 2018, 1:31 PM

#

Depends how you run the packaging tool, if you run it from UE4 you can just run UE4 from debugger

#

If not, attaching works if it's fast enough and you have the breakpoint set beforehand

vital narwhal Aug 24, 2018, 4:55 PM

Near the top of the log it has the exact commandline you can pass if you start the cook from visual studio

And yeah it's doing something weird in an object constructor so you'll have to debug it

Hi all,

Anyone know why I get a crash message upon running a packaged build? It only happens when I enable a plugin and only the first time after packaging. After a couple seconds, it goes away and the game boots up fine. It never happens any consecutive runs, even if I restart my computer or run another game in between.

Things maybe worth noting:

- packaging as win64 from editor
- deleted intermediate/saved/binaries
- tried packaging to various directories
- tried multiple plugins: Niagara and Substance
- checked the Niagara .uplugin, it's set to Developer and Runtime (recommended)
- installed my engine to a custom location, not the default
- the file directory is different with vs. without a plugin enabled. with a plugin enabled, there's a buried win64 .exe inside [myproject]/binaries/win64 aside from the .exe in the root folder. clicking either has the same result

Hello there! I have a question because an error message drives me crazy. Hopefully someone can help me with this one:

"PackagingResults: Error: An explicit Category specifier is required for Blueprint accessible functions in an Engine module."

How can I fix it and more importantly "where"? It doesn't tell me, I just know that it is connected to a marketplace plugin called "DirectExcel", so I guess "somewhere" in those C++ files some category specifier like "blueprintable" is missing in some functions?

@mellow bane you were right. Thanks for bringing me back on track:

"UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): C:/.../DirectExcel/Source/ThirdParty/XlntLib/Public/DirectExcelLibrary.h(25) : LogCompile: Error: An explicit Category specifier is required for Blueprint accessible functions in an Engine module.
UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): C:/.../DirectExcel/Source/ThirdParty/XlntLib/Public/ExcelCellReference.h(26) : LogCompile: Error: An explicit Category specifier is required for any property exposed to the editor or Blueprints in an Engine module."

So I have to fix those lines.
Blueprint accessible functions means adding "Blueprintable"?
What do I need to add to fix the second kind of error?

mellow bane Aug 28, 2018, 9:59 AM

#

I mean, before you even start trying to fix bugs

#

Is that your code ?

#

Because released engine versions should always build fine

#

If you're building from engine source, make sure you're on a safe release, and no changes

#

If it's your code, then yeah, UPROPERTY missing a Category field

#

Didn't know that was mandatory

open rapids Aug 28, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

That code is part of the plugin "DirectExcel" which my boss bought via the marketplace

#

We are using 4.19 and the plugin "should" support 4.19

#

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/directexcel <<<

DirectExcel by JianzhaoFu in Code Plugins - UE4 Marketplace

This plugin provides you with Blueprints and C++ to read & write Excel.xslx file data directly.

#

It's ~165 lines in 7 files which are missing those categories. Now I know which files and which lines, but what do I need to add? "Blueprintable"?

#

And I guess I need to recompile the plugin myself, don't I?

#

But "BlaBla" doesn't make the function blueprint accessible, does it?! o.O

#

So why should I add it, when it asks for blueprint accessibility?

#

hmm okay, I did not get it I guess. So I added a category. How do I recompile a plugin that is not mine? Can I do this inside the project or do I need VS for that?

#

But the plugin is an engine plugin. Does it work if I only recompile the project?

open rapids Aug 28, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

@mellow bane @sudden widget thank you two for helping me out. I fixed all the buggy lines and files, recompiled them afterwards and packaged the game working with the plugin.

4.19 - I"m using a series of PrimaryAssetLabels to drive ChunkIDs for assets assigned to the PAL(Directory + Exclusive). When I browse AssetAudit - it shows the assets in the right chunks.... and i can even view this information in REferenceViewer.

However - when i packaged the game - it only created 2 chunks - not even the CHunkID's or arrangement that i setup in using hte PAL method above.....

Am I missing a setting somewhere that i'm supposed to have enabled in order to drive ChunkIDs from PrimaryAssetLabels?

In the AssetManager - the field for PAL's is enabled as shown below:

When you first load one of these (from an editor restart) if there's a prompt saying something has an invalid type, would you like to remove it you should remove the invalid type. There is no way to recover the variable anyway, and it will still hide the variable.

#

If you don't have the luxury of that prompt, you might have to just remake those classes - Not aware of any alternative for BP users.

lol, aight. Windows store version won't work and you'd need to download it from Apple. Have you tried that?

As well as make sure your engine supports iOS and Mac?

I currently have a problem where after I updated to 4.20.2, attempting to package my game for Windows 64 will not create any .exe file. The only thing that is in the target dictionary is only a single .pak file

#

I think I may be having the same problem as this person

For some reason my packaged shipping game size has been increased from 700MB to +2GB Since i added some assets to my project. I did not use any of the new assets so the packaging process its storing unused packages into my game. How can i solve this? I Already use the Map List (the list that lets you add all the maps that are going to be packaged to avoid cooking all the content).

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem right now, there is a checkmark for "cook everything in in project" under advanced packaging settings that was checked. I unchecked it, but the editor still packages all assets not only the used ones. But maybe this will help you

Hello, I'm getting issues with the build of my project. In my project I have 2 modules, one is my main module (the game), and the other is a module filled with dllexport function that I use with another c# assembly. this second module is used to make the link between my c# assembly and the first module, the game. Now here is the fun.
If I'm building in monolithic, both of my modules are build into one exe --> I cannot longer use dllexport as it is an exe and not a dll
If I'm building in modular, both my modules are build in dll (yeah \o/), but I got no exe anymore --> I cannot launch the game

@here Do you guys have any idea of what I can do ?

@dusky crag Its interesting that with that checkbox active, the packaging cooks everything (as expected) and with the checkbox deactivated it doesn't but still occupies a lot of disk space (like 10 times more)

dusky crag Sep 4, 2018, 7:06 PM

#

I havent actually checked if it still cooks EVERYTHING i just saw that it still packages a lot of unused assets

dusky crag Sep 4, 2018, 7:24 PM

#

@valid hazel Two questions: Are you also using 4.20.2? Do you use any of the new assets (because i use 2 but not all of them)?

Hi guys!

#

So I really need some help with the media player

#

I followed all the steps to make it work, and it actually works!!

#

But when I packged the game, it's not there anymore... ;/

#

I'm sure this happened with someone before, cause I've tried every single sollution for this...

#

I have some cutscenes that are in .mp4, in a folder... When the character steps over a trigger box, it takes control of controller and go to a camera far away, this camera is pointed to a plane object, witch open source to media player and play the texture right there!

#

In the editor it happens perfect, so why when packegd this cutscene doens't load??

#

Thanks right away!

Anyone know what the error
Unknown structure. and it referring to one of my structures, means?

#

I don't know how to fix it but it shows a couple of widgets that use it, and that they have "unknown structure"

naive plover Sep 14, 2018, 12:24 AM

#

It means you should restart the editor, go open those widgets, and when you're prompted to remove a variable with an invalid type - remove that variable.

#

You can't save it, it'll be invisible.

#

If you don't get that prompt, then you'll need to recreate the widget or you can go back to an earlier revision if you've got #source-control

#

Probably also wanna go through an make sure the widget isn't borked in other ways

Anyone here came across of odd 'ghost' assets? We had a few in our game first there were materials that worked fine in editor, were cooked without error or warning but displayed as default material in a cooked game (recreating material and having a perfect copy under different name helped, renaming old material did not helped though). Recent issue was with a blueprint, worked fine for me and another person in the team, but for the most it didn't (in such case you just had to press compile and it started to work again). Worst thing - it didn't worked in cooked game either and again - recreating it node by node resolved the issue. Did anyone had something similar and if so is there better fix for this then recreating assets?

Hello, all. Sigh. Another question: I'm packaging my game for distribution, but if I don't list a limited number of maps in the List of maps to include in a packaged build, all maps are cooked into the game, which significantly bloats the packaged build unnecessarily. I can't specify a directory in the List of maps to include in a packaged build, nor can I use a regex pattern, nor is there a simple setting in the Level itself to mark whether or not it should be included. This means we have to manually add each level we want into that list. This is EXTREMELY error prone and time consuming. Is there a best practice I am missing, or some other setting that makes this work better? Thanks!

still quiver Sep 23, 2018, 9:35 PM

#

@oak tiger If you have a decent folder structure you can set specific folders to be included or excluded. Always backup your project/make sure your on source code before messing with folder structure. You can also save configurations in the top right of the packaging settings to create templates you can quickly load (might take a bit to setup but is quick once complete).

📎 unknown.png

oak tiger Sep 23, 2018, 9:40 PM

#

Oh, so I can add a directory with levels into that list and it will cook and include all of the levels in that directory? Hmm, ok, thanks

still quiver Sep 23, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

@oak tiger Also make sure the default game map is set in maps & modes!

oak tiger Sep 23, 2018, 11:33 PM

#

@still quiver I was finally able to test this

#

and it does not appear to work when I select the top-level directory that contains the levels I want to include in my game

#

I am still testing to verify, but it seems like this does not actually include them, though I think they are technically being cooked

oak tiger Sep 23, 2018, 11:56 PM

#

Confirmed: Additional Asset Directories to Cook does not appear to include maps that are cooked through that step

#

However: it looks like the maps are included if they are added to the sub-level list of a map that is already in the List of maps to include in a packaged build

still quiver Sep 24, 2018, 12:11 AM

#

@oak tiger That would make sense as I use the Project Launcher (FrontEnd) to create my builds that also include the Persistent Level / Sub-Levels of my maps + the folder inclusion/exclusions.

I see a lot of people asking about

Forcing save package path_to_file.uasset because was already requeued once

but no one has posted a solution. Anyone aware why it just freezes for a long time?
problem only occurs when building for linux (for me)

So I'm trying to package my project but it just failed after 2hours of packaging saying: "Error cooked failed" I'm only using 1 paragon character but its packaging and compiling shaders for all of the different skins. How do I fix so I can package my game?

@lucid star submit your build without ticking any of these boxes. they will reject your build and tell you exactly what boxes to tick, resubmit it and then they’ll approve it quickly.

@wanton mist I'll try that. Thanks a lot!

I am getting warning of LogSavePackage ObjectPath, but it was never saved as export. What are these warnings how to fix them any idea?

im having this crazy bug where in editor the mouse can rotate the character, but in a cooked build the mouse only rotates to a certain degree and then stops... its funky

#

and its only present on windows

#

on mac the bug is not there

#

i think i might actually need to run set input mode to game only... that could be it... the invisible mouse cursor reaching the end of the screen...

#

yup

#

confirmed, my mouse issue in Rat Tale is now fixed

So when moving my level files after creation upon packaging all of my level files say they cant be found and just throws a warning.

#

do i have to do something special when moving level files around

#

why is a development build 2.5gb and shipping build 4 gb?

#

in my specific case obviously, but i mean,why the general size increase

bleak cloak Sep 28, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

im pretty sure they stick alot of stuff in there to make it faster

#

i think FORCEINLINE may have something to do with it

#

as its defined to differnt things depending on what build you're doing

#

@sleek wasp

#

it basically takes functions and moves them to where they're called

#

it makes it run faster in most cases

#

but also makes the binarys considerably bigger

guys I have this error UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogPackageName: Error: DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: '/Game/Materials/StoneFlooring_Lobby (DESKTOP-EFK5DEG's conflicted copy 2018-08-31)' is not a standard unreal filename or a long path name. Reason: Name may not contain the following characters: '' '

#

but when I look into the project , I cant see this file. Means someone has renamed it and cut short it

#

but still this error is coming

#

See even I look for it its not there. Now why this error is coming ?

Using 4.20.2, trying to package my project. Its not creating the exe to run the game in the packaged folder

#

build mode is "development" I havent really changed any of the packaging settings from default, other than adding a list of maps

#

and clicked "Full Rebuild" project is all BP, no code

#

got rid of the map list, and its cooking lots of packages again, and compiling shaders for all the infinity blade assets... even ones I'm not using

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

did you try restarting ue4?

#

sometimes that fixes everything for me

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

that would be silly! ...so no. Should I cancel the packaging and restart?

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 1:52 AM

#

im guessing you already did but

#

yeah probably

#

if that doesnt work, i think there are some things you need to install or something for it to work

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 1:53 AM

#

I havent had to before, just hit package project -> windows64bit, it bleeps and bloops for a few min, then done

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 1:54 AM

#

hm interesting...

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

well, it packaged quickly about to where it had been cooking packages before, and now its continuing

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

well then... haha

#

i havn't exported my proj in a while

#

so im not very familiar with it but

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

oh, its done.

#

🤷

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

ah

#

did it work correctly?

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

no exe tho

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 1:56 AM

#

o

#

it doesnt give you any errors?

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 1:57 AM

#

just warnings about being unable to find ThirdPersonBP/ Which I didnt use in this project

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 1:58 AM

#

thats really weird

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

I'm not the only one having this issue apparently, finding a few posts about it with google... no answers found yet

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

i had it happen to me once, it gave me an error and how to fix it. I installed something and then it worked

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

one guy suggests verifying the engine in the launcher, but it wont let me, maybe cause I havent updated to 20.3 yet?

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

theres 20.3?

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

apparently

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

oh i just open the project file when i code...

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

I'm all BP, through the launcher

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

yeah i use only bp too

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:03 AM

#

trying to restart editor... computer laaaging 😦

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:05 AM

#

rip

#

ue4 can be very annoying sometimes

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

closed some tabs in chrome, seemed to help 😄

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

chrome eats processor speed up especially if watching videos

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

I think I'm gonna have to let it update before I can try verifying...

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

dang that sucks

#

it takes so long for it to update

#

even with good internet and stuff

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

sometimes... usually it works pretty well for me...

#

no luck tonight

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

damn

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

cause I wanted my friend to be able to test out my game before he goes to bed <_>

wraith dune Sep 30, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

scenic egret Sep 30, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

I dont know yet :p Some sort of side scroller RPG?
