Hmmm

#

Okay so I've gone through the project launcher, made a custom profile and launched it

#

Its made an empty 'WindowsNoEditor' folder

#

I've tried the default one and I get this log..

#

📎 ProjectLauncher.log

mellow bane Feb 4, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

Yeah, I don't see what's going wrong here. Maybe "verify" the engine from the launcher options

solemn trellis Feb 4, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

Verify is greyed out 🤔

#

Okay I tried another project launcher build, changed some settings that I had wrong - got this error.

@limpid socket what vr plugins?

limpid socket Feb 4, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

@primal kettle There are a number of VR/MR plugins included with Unreal. Go to Edit>Plugins to check what you have installed and active in your project

primal kettle Feb 4, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

I only have 2 plugins

#

none of which reference vr

#

which ones need to be installed?

limpid socket Feb 4, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

What platform are you working on?

primal kettle Feb 4, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

there are other plugins already active

#

limpid socket Feb 4, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

What hardware are you developing for

primal kettle Feb 4, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

like the steamvr api

#

htc vive to start

limpid socket Feb 4, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

Edit> Plugins> (Left Side) Virtual Reality> SteamVR

#

Make sure that plugin is enabled.

primal kettle Feb 4, 2019, 11:35 PM

#

it is

#

the problem I'm having is that the hmd doesnt show anything when the game starts

#

its like its not enabling the hmd at all

limpid socket Feb 4, 2019, 11:53 PM

#

Check the following: 1) that both your staions and HMD are plugged in and receiving power (obviously), 2) that the channels are set on each of the light stations, 3) Your HDMI for the HMD is connected and the HMD light comes on, 4) ensure SteamVR has been setup and is running.

#

There is some setting from within unreal to automatically launch SteamVR. I think it comes with the plugin, but not sure.

primal kettle Feb 5, 2019, 12:17 AM

#

ok i understand now

#

its an editor bug

#

play as standalone

#

doesnt work for vr

#

but the packaged build works

#

thats very annoying

I have a bit of research but most of what i find is for multiplayer games that need online communication. My game is a Single Player game with no need for online interaction.

so is there a way I recompile all of them for linux

mellow bane Feb 12, 2019, 1:02 PM

#

Yeah, you can.

#

Look at the Linux doc - you need a toolchain, a Linux package in the launcher settings

hardy hawk Feb 12, 2019, 1:02 PM

#

Thats already done

#

I've packaged for linux

#

but theres plugins I'm using that have linux disabed/not on their whitelists

#

or is it as simple as adding linux to their whitelist

mellow bane Feb 12, 2019, 1:03 PM

Ah, right. Well, you can probably try that

#

4.22 is likely broken AF right now

slim pebble Feb 13, 2019, 12:12 PM

#

I never checked that actually

#

But is this folder generated somehow automatically? and when?

mellow bane Feb 13, 2019, 12:12 PM

#

No idea.

slim pebble Feb 13, 2019, 12:14 PM

#

I copied this folder from engine now, see what happens

slim pebble Feb 13, 2019, 12:58 PM

#

It worked!

#

so if anyone experiences this issue, it's enough to copy UnrealPak folder over from engine and paste it into your project, wherever it is looking for it 😉

mellow bane Feb 13, 2019, 1:01 PM

Still sounds like a 4.22 regression

Yeah exactly.

ok, yea that would be very helpful for gamejams, if we could save packaging presets for example and say "use the tiny package preset" and that would set all the proper project settings and create the zip file

Hi guys! I've done an architectural interactive project with Unreal and I have to deliver it to an American customer. The windows packaging works perfectly, but the american costumer has an iMac. So, I have seen that to make the packaging for ios I have to pay an annual developers account of 100 euros, so I was wondering if it is very difficult to make a packaging for iOS or if it is easy as windows packaging, in the sense I don't know if I have to change things in my project or go very good as it is

#

(I saw a youtube tutorial on the steps to make the packaging iOS, I noticed that there are many certificates to be obtained but it does not seem very complicated, what worries me is that my project can not be saved with an iOS packging)

Hi guys, I've got a huge problem here :/
I absolutely need to be able to package android project with AR support in the next days, but the package fails when it comes to downloading gradle (callstack to follow).

Context:

I built UE4 from source with Google-ARCore repository
I am currently in China, either using a VPN or not - same outcome.
I had a lot of trouble getting CodeWorks to download every package, I had to download them myself because the install app wasn't working with the VPN I guess.
Now, everything is fine, except for that gradle thing at the very end of the package process.

I someone could help me, it would be a savior!

#

i downloaded manually the zip file at the given url in the first line of the log : services.gradle.org/[...], but I don't know where to put it to cut down the download process

#

@glossy parrot I had quite the same problem before with ARCore, maybe you would try to relaunch setup.bat in unreal engines root folder.

#

It should download a lot of things if you've installed apple/android stuff right.

glossy parrot Mar 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Well we did get the latest version of ue4 from github and then compiled it ourselves

#

I can try that

serene sand Mar 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

More precisely, if you see "Excluding Mac..." kind of stuff in the first line of setup.bat command, that's wrong

#

It shouldn't be excluded

glossy parrot Mar 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

OK Ill try now thanks for reaching out

serene sand Mar 3, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

the compilation does all the UE4 side, but the setup.bat downloads dependencies, like apple/android stuff

#

np

glossy parrot Mar 3, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

this error that I posted was from my friend

on my side the problem is the compilation just hangs for eternity

Hey guys, quick question. I've made some different apps thats based on the same core. The way I change which app is build is by using different datatables thats a variable inside a blueprint.
Now I'm looking into batch building these apps each time I change my core. Can I somehow change the blueprints variable from outside of the engine?

#

I'm thinking about writing an external tool that edits my DefaultEngine.ini and replacing my apps splashscreens. However I cannot edit my blueprints uasset since its binary.

It works in editor, even when testing as standalone game. The game builds fine too.

#

Makes no sense to me. This is source-built unreal with the varest plugin.

#

I've recloned and rebuilt unreal entirely from scratch, and have tried packaging with or without pak file, 32 or 64 bit

#

Packages and runs fine when I run 4.21 pre-built unreal, but not source-built. Pre-built packaging Linux and HTML5 fails, so I need to use source-built

Hi! is there any quick settings for packaging a game where it just works :p?

I'm having problems with a packaged build of my game because it works different than in the PIE session

I just want it to quickly package so I can pass the exe file

mellow bane Mar 6, 2019, 2:12 PM

No there isn't any quick thing where it'll work the same

Try standalone first - right click the uproject, launch

that should mostly work the same as packaged

So you'll be able to debug

#

For anyone who somehow has sees this and has the same errors I mention in my message a few messages back, they were red herrings. The real problem was that the plugin necessary to get the game to work worked fine in editor, but wasn't built-into the project. I had to take the source for the plugin and build it using Unreal's build tool RunUAT.bat. Alternatively, I could take the plugin from the engine plugins directory and modify the project's config files to include the plugin (in DefaultEngine.ini) and add to project dependencies (in projectName.Build.cs)

Hey guys, someone knows if content in .obb is considered as chunk0?

OT: Looking at posts from above, the packaging process is a big mystery and even we have some documentation, it's many time different in our projects. It will be SO helpful if someone from Epic opens this thread and answers some questions. It's nice we can make a game in Unreal, but it's pity we can't export it correctly 😦

Alright folks so I tried to get custom scripts working for the vanilla game however Steam has locked the exe and effectively made it mod-unfriendly.
I tried to workaround it using the UDK trick that was used for modding Renegade X and i think Rook's Keep (and was planned for Army Men III), only to be faced with yet another dead-end; I need the steamworks code to enable Steam lobbys and compile the code properly. http://www.mediafire.com/file/yam8q1gmydjiii1/The_Haunted_Mod_Attempt.zip

Apologies if this is the wrong section. Has anyone experimented with Jenkins and spot instances for building the game? Windows servers cost a buttload to host so my idea was to host a small Linux server running Jenkins, but spin up windows slaves to build the game. That way I’m only paying for build time. Has anyone done this?

Hello, all. I have some functionality that works only in when running PiE, but not in a cooked build, and I don't understand why. What is the best way to track down why something only works for a PiE instance and not for cooked?

To be more specific, when a player's collision sphere overlaps with actors, a radar indicator is added to the viewport. This works great in PiE. But in a cooked build, it doesn't work at all for certain Actors, but for other Actors it works just fine

what is difference between building dedicated server from Visual Studio and custom launch profile if project is launched with source code version

novel gale Mar 14, 2019, 2:50 PM

#

@idle granite not sure if you can use Custom Launch Profile (haven't tried that yet) but to answer your second question building from VS will only compile the binaries, if you want to cook content and package you need to use a Custom Launch Profile, or RunUAT.bat This is the script I use to build a dedicated servers for windows and linux (must follow cross compile linux wiki first)

It is at least an example of what you need to run on the command line to package it all up. That is from our talk on building a server and putting it in a docker container. Hope it helps.

Isnt Target/Build.cs scripts are supposed to run every single time i compile the code in VS / pack the game?

novel gale Mar 14, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

They get packaged into an assembly and cached, i'm not sure what the trigger is that rebuilds those scripts, but I imagine if you are doing an incremental build it is possible that certain build scripts do not need to run because they are not dirty and could be using the cached assembly to run against.

grave hinge Mar 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

Yes it is apparently working that way, i can trigger a script run by modifying the cs file. But i'd like a certain set of commands to run every time i compile/cook. Any ideas how should i go about this?

novel gale Mar 14, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

I put some customization in the main game modules target.cs file but now that I think about it I only care that it runs when doing a clean build on a build machine and since we pristine the environment before each build, it simply works for us. So probably not running on every build, and not sure how you would ensure that it does...

grave hinge Mar 14, 2019, 3:36 PM

I'm using my extension to modify a .h file and up a int counter in a definition. https://unrealxeditor.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/tip-generating-build-numbers-for-your-game/ went with this example tho i code it much simpler. While the author states it will run every time he is compiling the code, it just doesnt work that way for me. Probably because i use the explicitorshared PCH mode.

[TIP] Generating Build Numbers for your game

When i am compiling my projects i would like to know how many times i compiled my project. So i made that kind of functionality for one of our project and thought i’ll share it with you guys.…

novel gale Mar 14, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

Something else to look into is that when you are packaging you can pass in something like -clientcmdline="-buildidoverride=123456", so you might simply be able to just pass in -buildidoverride through VS project settings and it takes care of it for you? We use the build id override on our development packages we use for iteration.

grave hinge Mar 14, 2019, 3:52 PM

#

Nice idea. But it only works when you compile from VS, and not when packing the game i suppose?

novel gale Mar 14, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

When packaging the game you just put it in the additional command line params in the launch profile (it wraps it in -clientcmdline for you) or if using RunUAT.bat you add the -clientcmdline part yourself.

#

Not sure about running from VS haven't actually tried that use case yet, since I only care about packaged builds.

grave hinge Mar 14, 2019, 3:59 PM

#

:) I just want this to be a counter that runs automatically, without manually typing in command lines everytime. That's the purpose of it after all.

#

Maybe i'll learn to put a newline in the build script, that should trigger the counter rising.

novel gale Mar 14, 2019, 4:02 PM

#

I hear you! I just use bamboo / jenkins / teamcity and let them do the versioning for me and then use the environment variable to set the buildidoverride param. CI for the win!

grave hinge Mar 14, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

Yeah right. Later on i will have to setup some environments to do it properly.

novel lintel Mar 14, 2019, 4:42 PM

question from a noob: When i started up my project, i played around with some heavy stuff in my scene (kite demo) and now i want to compile my scene and it stops when 300 shaders left. i want to delete some of the kite demo, from my content. but UE crashes on me when i try to delete certain unused directories. is it possible to exclude those files without deleting them? or maybe deleting them in another way?

Hello, I have a problem with my packaged builds, they are making random freeze. I say random because it can happen at anytime for no logic reasons (while playing of while doing nothing in the menu). I suspected the garbage collector but I can't reproduce the issue by forcing it to execute. I never have this issue when I run the game from the editor or a debug standalone version.
Did you experience this king of issues ? Any tips ?

@rugged ether I'm trying to use RunUAT but I'm getting errors like missing UE4Editor-Cmd.exe and Win64/Android/UE4Editor.modules was in manifest but not produced when building for win64

rugged ether Mar 20, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

What arguments are you passing to RunUAT?

#

(For reference, these are the arguments I usually use: https://adamrehn.com/docs/ue4cli/descriptor-commands/package, the code block after "The default arguments for packaging projects are:")

dusky fossil Mar 20, 2019, 9:50 PM

Produced the error Win64/Android/UE4Editor.modules was in manifest but not produced.

#

ohmygosh you made a python interface for building, i was just thinking about moving from .bat to python today

rugged ether Mar 20, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Hmmm, the only thing you're missing that I have is -serverconfig=Development, maybe see if that makes any difference?

dusky fossil Mar 20, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

I just re-ran with that added, same error

rugged ether Mar 20, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

I'm assuming you're using a build of the Engine downloaded through the Epic Games Launcher? Did you include Android support when you installed it?

dusky fossil Mar 20, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

Yeah vanilla 4.20 through the launcher, I made to install all modules through the Options thing

rugged ether Mar 20, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

If you're only building for Win64 at the moment, perhaps try removing the Android component through the launcher and see if that makes any difference?

dusky fossil Mar 20, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

When you make a build do you have to do some steps before RunUAT.bat?

rugged ether Mar 20, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

Not usually, it works with freshly-created projects.

#

I do know that Android development typically involves a step inside the Editor to get things working though. (Accepting the Android SDK EULA or something like that, for memory.)

dusky fossil Mar 20, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

What's driving me nuts is I'm not even trying to do any Android stuff

#

Thanks for your help anyhow, @rugged ether 😃

grave hinge Mar 20, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

There are a couple of android related plugins enabled for all projects by default. You could try disabling them one by one and see if that helps to ignore. Not sure tho where this originates from.

fleet comet Mar 21, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

the shipping build im exporting is much larger then the development one , thats because the shipping build is packaging a file called 'libUE4.so' with it. any idea how i can export without it ?

first time packaging a game up for a friend to help me test. Should I be packaging as "development" until I'm ready to actually distribute the game to many people?

eager moon Mar 25, 2019, 1:04 PM

#

@weak fjord you will have to do a series of steps in order to cook a game for your friend to test, otherwise it will come with so many bugs your fingers cant count

#

First of all, do your friend have Unreal Engine stalled?

#

If he has it, then you can just package project through the editor menu:

#

#

Choose your platform, and send to him

#

If your platform is Windows, and your friend don't have ue4, then you will need to do others things

#

Just let me know, man

eager moon Mar 25, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

Just don't trust unreal documentation, at least in the packagin section I can tell they're being cynical, you will be selling useless 64bits (with no chance to DLC) copyes to your customers, and they will differ from machine from machine so it's a jackpot.

You have to hit the forums and google if you want to trully package the game

weak fjord Mar 25, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

thanks guys, that insight is really valuable. The docs make it sound like "just click package and boom $$$$ profit"

#

It was hard to know the difference between distributing for test and distributing for real

I'm trying to figure out a good "workflow" for building. I come from a development background where we use vsts and visual studio but unsure what folks use in the gamedev industry. I'll keep scrolling around, there's plenty of content in this discord.

Hello! Do you guys know a way to include movie/media files in a DLC?

I have a .mp4 movie which is referenced by a file source and mediatex and etc... that is supposed to come with a DLC map.
I already successfully generated the DLC, i can download it and enter on the map normally.

The problem is: the video gets packed in the main .APK, which gives it a large size which is not good. i would like to put it on the DLC .PAK

Hello! Does anyone here use any asset management software outside of the UE4 editor to organize/search/view all of their assets (like original meshes, textures, uassets, etc.)?

open rapids Apr 4, 2019, 12:03 AM

#

i think a UE4 Template includes BP dependig on the type of Template choson when creating the Project... it can easily be forgotten

#

i always start with "Blank"

#

you can mege projects and levels i believe, so no need to use a Template with anything but Starter Content, IMHO

#

#

@silver kraken have you tried the Project's Unreal Engine 4/ProjectName/ folders to see if the Game.ini is located there?

#

@steady niche if you have a media file, i would recommend getting "RAD Game Tools" and converting to Bink Video's .bnk file format and including itin a sub-directory located in the Root Folder with its own folder name called "Video"

#

.bik&*

#

.bik*

#

@wicked void I would search your system for that file 'CriticalSection.h' and see if it exists anywhere in the system, if not, possibly create a "dumm" placeholder and see if it nulls the error... if you know that the file's contents are (ie. what it is and its intended function) then i would recreate the file and include it in the proper director

mellow bane Apr 4, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

@whole pagoda These are linker errors, so they can't be pinpointed to a specific line

#

However, it looks like your program uses the log categories implemented by the datatable & behaviourtree modules

#

Does "ff2" ring a bell to you ?

#

Any UE_LOG line in your code that uses anything else but your own log category ?

whole pagoda Apr 4, 2019, 2:57 PM

#

I narrowed down the LogDataTable to stuff like FDataTableRowHandle::GetRow

#

ff2 is the main game module

mellow bane Apr 4, 2019, 3:01 PM

Do you link against the DataTable module ?

i.e. dependency in build.cs

Now we're talking

#

Your game is missing a lot of files that you deleted carelessly, so you need to look at every line marked "warning" to fix it

#

Error appears to be : "Error: [/Script/Engine.RecastNavMesh] found in the DefaultEngine.ini file. This class has been moved. Please rename that section to [/Script/NavigationSystem.RecastNavMesh]"

#

Read that error, and fix it like it says

vital oak Apr 4, 2019, 8:09 PM

#

I did not delete anything

mellow bane Apr 4, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

Don't tell it to me, tell it to your project files that reference files that don't exist !

#

Spend some time reading the log of the packaging process

#

Every line that says warning or error is a problem you need to fix

vital oak Apr 4, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

how do i get the lost files?

mellow bane Apr 4, 2019, 8:10 PM

#

You don't, just fix the other files that still point to them

#

Like I said, read the log - most of that stuff is pretty clear

#

"Failed to load 'C:/Users/User/Documents/Unreal Projects/VR_GAME/Content/VRGunToolkit/Blueprints/BP_Panel_Gun.uasset': Can't find file for asset '/Game/VRGunToolkit/Blueprints/Panel' "

BP_Panel_Gun references "Panel" which does not exist

So fix BP_Panel_Gun

Hello. What does this error mean?error: Entitlements file "ProjectName.entitlements" was modified during the build, which is not supported. You can disable this error by setting 'CODE_SIGN_ALLOW_ENTITLEMENTS_MODIFICATION' to 'YES', however this may cause the built product's code signature or provisioning profile to contain incorrect entitlements.

#

It is ios packaging from windows.

Engine version is 4.20

shadow mirage Apr 6, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

I moved a couple of folders around my project, later down the road I did a second re-organization of folder structure, and sometime later i upgraded to the latest version.
Now when I try to package it's missing a lot of files, trying to look for them at locations after my first restructure. I used fix up redirectors all the time... what gives?

Update Visual Studio

Says it right in the log

upbeat pulsar Apr 6, 2019, 8:29 PM

if i open visual studio it tells me to buy it

mellow bane Apr 6, 2019, 8:29 PM

Are you a company ?

upbeat pulsar Apr 6, 2019, 8:29 PM

no

mellow bane Apr 6, 2019, 8:29 PM

Then you don't need to buy it, make sure you have Visual Studio Community 2017

Install anything else and get that

i'm left with a ton of warnings after deleting some unused assets from the project

Sure there were unused ? 😬

something must be lingering somewhere though

Hi guys 😃

#

Is this channel proper to ask a couple of things?

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 8:51 AM

#

It's the packaging channel, so ask packaging questions I guess 😃

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

So I've been trying to package one thing for the past weekend with no luck and decided to ask here for input

#

I keep getting the following (i've cleared all other errors):

It all points to Incredibuild but I have zero luck every time

Let me do a clean log since I ran it a few times and don't need the clutter

but let me copy the log

though I think it's the same looking at it

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

Does NCH_NET_UVRF_v116U ring a bell ?

#

It looks like it gets build twice or something weird

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:39 PM

#

yeah it's an older copy of the project

#

I did remove the .target files though

#

unless I have an oversight on another part

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

I don't know what's happening here but every .cpp in a module get built generally, so copypasting a file will break the build

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

should I delete those .cpps?

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

I'm not sure what to tell you here. Does your project compile in Visual Studio ?

#

After generating the VS solution ?

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

It does not compilein VS

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

Makes sense

#

If you have older versions of files in the source dir, yeah you need to remove them so that it compiles

#

Use source control for that

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

ok I think I may have missed that one when I was clearing ht e.target files

#

yeah, I am doing this at my job and the are behind the ball in terms of using source control

#

(zero budget, small team)

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:43 PM

#

Git, SVN

#

Limited perforce version

#

Anything but no source control

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

ok yeah, lol

#

living dangerously

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

TBH I'd fire developers who work without source control 😃

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:44 PM

#

yeah, this is a design company and their interaction + 3D department is pretty new still (me + 2 others)

#

they arent use to using source

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:45 PM

#

Anyway, clean up the irrelevant .cpp files and check in VS that it builds, then restart packaging

#

<@&213101288538374145> Could we get a pin, or comment in channel outline, to suggest putting the full log packaging output on pastebin when posting issues ? 3/4 of questions here get "give the full log" as a first answer

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:46 PM

#

How should I check if it rebuilds?

#

I deleted the file and set to package and still same error

light junco Apr 8, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Hm, not sure that helps. Pinned messages are rarely looked into so you would have to tell them "Check Pinned Messages" which doesn't really remove the need to of telling people.

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

@topaz flame Did you generate VS solution and build in VS ?

light junco Apr 8, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

It should be generally known that you need to provide information about your problem to actually get help.

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 2:48 PM

#

I thought putting a short bite about it in the channel outline could help

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 2:49 PM

#

nvm, i saw how, jut right clickthe project

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 3:09 PM

i do get a warning though for Steam API disabled

#

I do use it for networking

#

it = Steam

#

from the looks of it I'll run tests before determining if Steam is legitimately disabled

mellow bane Apr 8, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

Normal message.

#

The log is about steam being disabled when your game is run in editor mode for packaging

#

Unrelated to gameplay

light junco Apr 8, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

I think they actually "fixed" that message popping up in 4.22 or?

#

Or at least when packaging or so

topaz flame Apr 8, 2019, 4:00 PM

#

I was packaging in 4.21 so it still shows

#

I did just jump to 4.22 o it would be neat to see if it is still there

#

Look for "error" in your log

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:02 AM

#

Hello everyone.

In UE4.20, we are trying to package the game, and the following error happens:

`[  ERROR  ] === Critical error: ===`
`[  ERROR  ]` 
`[  ERROR  ] Fatal error: [File:E:\farmagent07a\game\Engine\Source\Runtime\CoreUObject\Private\UObject\SavePackage.cpp] [Line: 4985]` 
`[  ERROR  ] ArrowComponent /Game/Gameplay/GP_LookAt/GP_LookAtMarkerActor.Default__GP_LookAtMarkerActor_C:ArrowComponent was an archetype of ArrowComponent /Game/Maps/Gyms/LookAt_Data/LookAtActor.Default__LookAtActor_C:ArrowComponent but returned a null index mapping the object.`

And everything I can find online just has someone posting a question and answering right after saying "I Deleted the component and it works" but I don't want to delete the component :3

Any suggestions please? Thank you

#

Noted: it was working fine in 4.18

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:07 AM

#

What's that component like in editor ? Does it work ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:07 AM

#

I'm looking at it right now, give me a sec

#

The actor is fine, the component inside the actor is fine

#

I can see it in the editor Viewport

#

It shows in the component list

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

Can you edit its properties too ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

Not by clicking on the component no

#

It's C++ inherited though, I don't know if it changes anything

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

So empty panel when you click it ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

Yeah

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

The component is indeed corrupted then - you do need to delete it

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

I mean

#

only in the archetype

#

In my map, I have those actors instanced

#

And I can see the details panel for the ArrowCOmponent

#

It's just grayed out because it's inherited from C++

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

Is it grayed out, or an empty panel ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

gray

#

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

First view is details panel in my map

#

second view is the archetype of the actor

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:11 AM

#

Right, so it is an empty panel in the Blueprint

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:11 AM

#

Yes, as mentioned previously

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

Your Blueprint has been corrupted, and you need to delete the component. I've seen this happen when you use hot reload and do changes to the Blueprint interface (anything UPROPERTY), then save the Blueprint. You should never do that - don't touch UPROPERTY when hot reloading

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

We never use Hot Reload

#

:/

#

I recompile the solution every single time.

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

I've only seen that happen with HR, but okay, it's a bug after all.

#

Check if you can save the BP in the level as new actors

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:13 AM

#

And this seemed to have happened inside an automated Save Package job

#

on our farm

#

So I add a new actor into my scene and try to save it?

#

Or did I missunderstand something

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:13 AM

#

Let me check a sec

#

You said you have valid instances of that actor in the level, right ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:13 AM

#

It's a Developper's map, but yes, it seems it's working fine

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:15 AM

#

Nevermind I thought of a workaround but there isn't such a feature

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:16 AM

#

#if WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA
if (!IsRunningCommandlet())
{
    DebugCompRoot = ObjectInitializer.CreateDefaultSubobject<USceneComponent>(this, TEXT("DebugRoot"));

    if (DebugCompRoot)
    {
        DebugCompRoot->SetupAttachment(LookAtMarkerComponent);
        DebugCompRoot->SetRelativeLocation(FVector::ZeroVector);
        DebugCompRoot->SetRelativeRotation(FRotator::ZeroRotator);
    }

    ArrowComponent = ObjectInitializer.CreateDefaultSubobject<UArrowComponent>(this, TEXT("ArrowComponent"));

    if (ArrowComponent)
    {
        ArrowComponent->ArrowColor = FColor(150, 200, 255);
        ArrowComponent->SetupAttachment(DebugCompRoot);
        ArrowComponent->SetRelativeLocation(FVector(0.0f));
        ArrowComponent->SetRelativeRotation(FRotator(0.0f));
        ArrowComponent->ArrowSize = 1.0f;
        ArrowComponent->bTreatAsASprite = true;
        ArrowComponent->bIsScreenSizeScaled = true;
    }
}
#endif

#

That's how it's created in the ctor

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:16 AM

#

This isn't the problem

#

The problem is that the Blueprint file is corrupted

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:16 AM

#

Ok

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:16 AM

#

Basically the last time I had that, I had to remove and recreate it

#

Try duplicating the BP first to see what happens ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

I can save the Actor fine

#

Ok

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

Try creating a new BP from this C++ class too

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

Duplication works

#

Ok

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

To confirm the panel comes back

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

Works

#

Wait

#

I mean I can create them fine

#

but the panel is empty

#

Although to be fair, I have the bug on ArrowComponent but every single panel is empty

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

For duplication, or a new actor ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

Both

#

I can create them (or duplicate) fine. Save fine. But every single Inherited Component shows an empty panel

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:19 AM

#

What's your UPROPERTY def for the comp ?

#

Typically ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:19 AM

#

    UPROPERTY()
    class UArrowComponent* ArrowComponent;

#

Inside WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

Okay, so it's normal that you have an empty panel, and it's not the issue ><

#

Sorry

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

Yeah, I just figured that out

#

Sorry for not thinking about it before

#

I was blindly following your directions, my bad, could've been more accurate on my problem description

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

UArrowComponent is an engine comp right ?

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

Yeah

#

Vanilla, I don't think we modified it

#

Yeah it's vanilla

#

It works fine in other actors

#

This isn't the only actor that has an ArrowComponent

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:21 AM

#

Let me check a thing

#

Can you share the full log ?

#

Packaging output

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:22 AM

#

Sadly, no. Or I could but it'd take me a while, this was just shared to me via Slack but I didn't have the full log

#

I'll look for it

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:23 AM

#

Okay, but do look if these other actors do package well

#

That's what I wanted to check

#

That other people with this issue on the net have it with UArrowComponent can't be a coincidence

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:23 AM

#

I found 2 posts

#

1 was on the arrowcomponent

#

1 was on a component of their own

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

Another fun thing is, i'm pretty sure UPROPERTY doesn't support ifdefs - WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA or not

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

Yeah they do

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

So I guess you have the prop defined to matter what

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:24 AM

#

They don't support !UE_BUILD_SHIPPING

#

but editor is fine

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

Ah, I guess that one is special

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

And you gotta make sure of course all of the code in the cpp is also under the same guard

#

but that's just plain obvious

#

And since our farm compiles for almost every possible build

#

Package and editor

#

We know when we fuck up

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

AniMInstance.h does it too, like you outlined, so it should be fine I guess

#

Well at this stage I have no other solution to offer but to try replacing the BP by a new one you made from the C++ class, package, and at least check whether it solves the issue.

#

Wish I was more helpful :/

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

Do you think I should just comment out the ArrowComp in the C++, resave my actors and re add them?

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

That might also do the trick.

rancid tartan Apr 9, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

Ok, I'll try those options

#

I'll let you know

#

thank you for your time!

#

I was wondering how to handle patching because im using jenkins that sends the packaged game to a launcher but everytime the user has to redownload every update

mellow bane Apr 9, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

Either use a platform like Steam GOG itch, or look at the patching page on the UE doc for shitty launchers

#

Uncompressed package + binary diffs on the distribution platform is what you want

split lion Apr 9, 2019, 3:46 PM

Hey guys!

We're having an issue when building the appx for our UWP game.
The output log shows the following:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/535890990532395045/565588956058746910/unknown.png

#

And opening the build tool log shows the following:

`
XML schema failed to compile; validation of the final AppxManifest.xml will be skipped.

If your AppxManifest.xml is valid then this is harmless, but if it contains invalid content you may encounter packaging or deployment errors.
`

#

and
Appx manifest not found or is invalid. Please ensure well-formed manifest file is present. Or specify an index name with /in switch.

#

Any ideas?

Does anyone have advice for reducing .ipa file size? My game packages to a 80MB APK for Android, but the same game packages for a 450MB .ipa for iOS. I modified the Android settings quite a bit to reduce the size, but I cant figure out why the .ipa is so giant. I went through just about every plugin and every setting I could think of and reduced the size by about 40MB. Are there any additional things that can be done?

hey guys, how do i debug something that works in the editor but not when it's packaged

abstract escarp Apr 12, 2019, 2:12 AM

#

@primal canyon Open visual studio and switch your development environment from "Development Editor" to "DebugGame." That will allow you to simulate a cooked build, or packaged build.

balmy ember Apr 12, 2019, 6:54 AM

@balmy ember and @abstract escarp , that's my fault for being very vague: I have an unreal blueprint project, everything works great in the editor, when I package the game and run it everything works EXCEPT these drop down options which are supposed to move these 3 objects in my scene. it's like the event isn't triggering. the blueprint script that moves the objects is written in the level blueprint and i'm wondering if that has anything to do with it

#

I just tested using a keyboard event to fire the same action and it worked, so I think it's a problem with the widget event message not getting sent to the level blueprint

I'm currently not on my pc, I'll send you it later, thank you

#

Do you know if Multi-player can be tested without packaging?

#

I know I can just go over the file inside the folder, right click and press Launch game.

#

If I want to test connection between two PCs that runs my game, will it work?

mellow bane Apr 13, 2019, 2:56 PM

#

MP can be tested in editor by setting the player count to 2

#

Or you can right click the uproject file and hit launch, twice

#

For multiple PCs yeah packaging is best

Probably just wait. If you're using Niagara, maybe try removing the assets one by one to see if one causes the crahs since it loks niagara related

heya. re setting keys. i have a widget that saves users key preferences to the project input binds. users can set their keys, however every time they restart the game their settings are lost (reset to the binds that were set at the project when packaged). Seems to happen whether its a shipping or development build. is this common, or easily fixed?

lavish coral Apr 14, 2019, 4:42 AM

So something strange happened... I built a first version of my tiny game and it built fine. I added a start menu and an in-game menu. Very basic UI Widgets. And now building is failing every time. I can't figure out why. Getting "AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode = 5"

#

Anyone offer advice on stuff to check?

#

The game will play in Editor. But if I Launch in editor, it fails the same way

#

Well... I don't know what was up but thank goodness for source control. I rolled back one commit and it's working again.

I have a doubt Niagara cause error when I pack my test project.
I created a new project. Make a niagara system and add to a map.

It pack success.

@proper nexus You need to delete random Niagara content in your project until it packs, to poinpoint which one causes the issue

@lyric orchid Okay, did you start your packaged game from Steam ? Is it a shipping build ?

Yes shipping

When I package my game (for testing purposes, a single level) does Everything in my Content folder get packaged or only what's needed to run the game?

mellow bane Apr 15, 2019, 8:10 AM

#

Depends on your settings. If you cook "all maps", then all the content is included ; if you specify a list of levels manually, only that should package

Can you check in the output folder if the build looks okay ?

am making a packaged build right now, will try it out and let you know

wheat junco Apr 15, 2019, 9:41 AM

#

yes that worked, but why

#

using the launch button from the editor doesnt work, neither does a packaged build but right clicking the uproject and Launch worked

mellow bane Apr 15, 2019, 9:41 AM

#

First two package the game, third one doesn't

wheat junco Apr 15, 2019, 9:42 AM

#

so some dependency is not getting loaded correctly

mellow bane Apr 15, 2019, 9:43 AM

#

I would suggest building in Visual Studio as Development Game (not editor) and launch from there , you're bound to learn much more. But I don't know if you're already familiar with that

#

This doesn't look like an error on your side

wheat junco Apr 15, 2019, 9:44 AM

was thinking of that only, will try it out

The actual error should be higher still, that's the error handler

wheat junco Apr 15, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

ok, i havent got the engine debug symbols for 4.22 will download that and see where it goes

mellow bane Apr 15, 2019, 9:56 AM

#

The stack might be more accurate

#

Though I'm not sure it's required since you have symbol already

wheat junco Apr 15, 2019, 12:06 PM

#

i guess the module doesn't get loaded in time so moving it to the call site rather than a static variable made it work
