How/where do I specify which maps to package? My previous game had only one map, but this project has several

mellow bane Apr 18, 2019, 12:06 PM

#

Packaging settings

zenith imp Apr 18, 2019, 12:08 PM

#

"List of maps to include in a packaged build" So, the name of the mapp, not a directory or anything else?

mellow bane Apr 18, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

Should be a list with a + button, and a ... button to pick each map

zenith imp Apr 18, 2019, 12:12 PM

#

I got an array with a text box... Project Settings>Project>Packaging

mellow bane Apr 18, 2019, 12:13 PM

#

Yes

#

Use the + button to add maps, use the ... button to set each map path

zenith imp Apr 18, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

The path to the map within the project, or the directory I want the map written to?

mellow bane Apr 18, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

Click ...

#

It will open the explorer window

#

Find your map file and double-click it

zenith imp Apr 18, 2019, 12:20 PM

#

Thanks, you're a great help✌

frail rapids Apr 18, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Quick noob question, when i package, does it package only what i used or does it package all 7 million terabytes i imported in to see how pretty it was?

mellow bane Apr 18, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

Depends on whether you set the list of maps to cook in package options

#

If not, it will cook 100% of the game regardless of actual usage

frail rapids Apr 18, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

oh, thanks so much!

somber flower Apr 18, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

so I'm having a bit of truble with my game not starting in full screen .... if I double click the icon and do nothing the game launches itself in full screen but if i double click and then click on something else the game starts windowed ? How do you avoid that ?

#

what are the rules on packaging a final product with store assets? for instance could i release the full source of the game including store bought assets (in ue4 asset format, not exported fbx's and stuff)?

mellow bane Apr 18, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

You can't release store assets as source

#

Ever

#

Final product as packaged game doesn't have particular rules for assets

zenith imp Apr 18, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

Doesn't it all get stored in .pak files?

mellow bane Apr 18, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

Packaged build with pak will have content in paks

#

Packaged, cooked builds have no particular rule re: paid assets

#

Uncooked assets ("full source of the game including store bought assets in ue4 asset format") like @quasi sleet mentioned are a huge no-go, it's completely not okay

#

The asset store license is basically "do whatever you want with that in your own game, but don't share to devs"

#

hi guys

#

any improvements in the last 3 months in android packaging?

#

I refer mostly at the size of the files

mellow bane Apr 19, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

Well there was only one update in the past 6 months

#

So it's easy to check 😃

#

(nothing in release notes)

quasi sleet Apr 19, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

@mellow bane thank you! I figured. Is there a way to package an editor build with those files protected?

#

I guess I just really wanted to allow people to mod the game using the editor but it doesn't look like that's possible.

#

At least I didn't see anything online for it...

mellow bane Apr 19, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

Modding in UE4 will more or less require releasing through the Epic Game Store with the asset store content removed.

#

It plainly sucks, engine isn't made for it

#

The license specifically makes it really problematic

quasi sleet Apr 19, 2019, 4:43 PM

#

thats really a bummer but i kinda figured. thank you for your help. its too bad the licensing doesnt allow for shipping source. it seems like modding is really the birthplace of a lot of great games/studios. just seems like it would be in epic's best interest... however i also understand legal stuff is complicated. 😦

mellow bane Apr 19, 2019, 4:44 PM

#

If you truly want modding as a core feature it should basically use your own file format for assets

#

Hard part for that is the mesh format, with FBX being very closed source

Is anyone experiencing long time loading while running under Steam? My game takes 3 seconds to load a level and under 5 seconds to start when launched. On steam.... it can take more than 20 seconds to launch and more than 10 seconds to load a level.

mellow bane Apr 20, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

Is your Steam dir on the same disk ?

fair night Apr 20, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

nope

mellow bane Apr 20, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

Maybe the other disk is slower

fair night Apr 20, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

oh

#

well, as you say that... I'm on a NVMe, Steam is on a traditional mechanical HDD... 🤔

mellow bane Apr 20, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

Also Windows preloads executables in memory when they're used often, so it can make your game faster

fair night Apr 20, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

I didn't think about that

mellow bane Apr 20, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

Lol, yeah, that's it

fair night Apr 20, 2019, 12:52 PM

I'm gonna try moving it to a NVMe folder and try it 😄

Hey guys, can you help me? I updated to 4.22 and now my game crashes when executed (C ++ and Blueprint).

It works perfectly in PIE but not when packaged. Also, the packaged version works when Nativization is disabled. I have no idea how to deal with this crash report.

@scenic root UMG are implemented on top of SlateUI and package build behavior is not always the same as in Editor.
You probably get better chance asking in Slate channel with full stack trace.
And correct me if I'm wrong, It crash in engine, you probably need to package from unreal source code or download source pdb.
If the stack trace doesn't show in log because you run the build on different machine, It should be in <PackageBuild>/<YourGameModuleName>/Saved/Crashes/<CrashVersionNumber>/CrashContext.runtime-xml

Quick question. When you package your game for shipping. What exactly does it package. Meaning does it package only items that are used in the game. Textures and such? Basically I want to know if I have like a texture folder that I did not use any of the textures in in the game does it package that also. Or does it only package items that were used in the development of the game?

mellow bane Apr 23, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

If you set the list of packaged maps in project options = only used content

#

Else everything in the project

hollow ember Apr 23, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

I just need to know do I need to delete all the folders and stuff that were not used and items that were not used in the game?

#

Ok

#

One more example just to be sure. I have a monster that I did not use in the game blueprints everything. It won't package that will it?

mellow bane Apr 23, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Just like I said

#

Depends if you set it up right

hollow ember Apr 23, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

I have all the maps set up in the projects settings if that's what you're referring to. So I take it if I had not set that up it would just package everything.

mellow bane Apr 23, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

Yup

hollow ember Apr 23, 2019, 8:49 PM

hello people of the unreal! i wish to build a plugin containing a BP function library, it seems to compile successfully, however on start it crashes, telling me the module could not be initialized after it's been loaded. I've gone through instructions for plugins and compared with the VictoryBP plugin, I can't really discern where the error is coming from in my case. has anyone encount#ered this?

frail dragon May 2, 2019, 2:50 AM

#

@haughty oak Did you try to use the unreal profiler? (build your game in developpment mode (instead of shipping), then you can use the "stat StartFile" and "stat stopFile"commands to generate a file stored in "save/profilling" in your game directory.
Then you just read the file in the editor to find what is causing these lags 😃
(if you have never tried the profiler, I recommend you to see this page : https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Engine/Performance/Profiler 😉 )

Hello all, pardon the lack of introduction before jumping instantly into a problem I've got, but I was looking for some feedback. I packaged a project for the first time today and it seems to work just fine on my first few plays of it, but when packaging I got a bunch of those Ambiguous Search warnings. How much stock should I put into that? Is that something that is pretty common or is it something I should worry about? I tried searching online but didnt really find a concrete answer. Someone mentioned it possibly had to do with deleted actors or actor variables, so is there any sort of clean up I should do before packaging beyond deleting unused textures, meshes, etc?

@tidal forge sorry for taking your time. but that didn't work . do u have any other suggestion?

haughty oak May 2, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

@frail dragon Thank you! 😃 i will try it

#

A question, if i delete all assets and just play on the terrain with the foilage my game doesnt crash. So my Game Crash Problem must be a asset problem.
Is this a reason why my game maybe crashes?:

i don't know.. That's weird. 🤔 Try to remove this tile from the project (x1, y4)
(sometime just painting something on the tile can refresh the data and fix the probleme)

Otherwise we had a lot of problems with world composition (Which we no longer use since 4.18) which sometime removed a tile from the world or cause weird issues.. 😕

haughty oak May 2, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

You dont use World Composition anymore? 😮 What do u use instead of this? I try to create a multiplayer openworld map, but since i tried this (first time in the 4.17) it gives only problems...
The x1y4 tile cant be the problem because when I remove all 3d objects on this tile, my game dont crashes 😮

frail dragon May 2, 2019, 5:39 PM

#

We don't use any WorldComposition / LevelStreaming, all the world is optimized / handled by some homemade tools to run at 60fps when all is loaded. Instead of wasting time on unreal engine's tools we use this time to make our tools and to optimise the map ^^

@sonic current Your error is a C++ linker error. The clang compiler cannot find these GInternalProjectName, GIsGameAgnosticExe reference.
Try check first if dependency is missing. Try with default template project.
Fist thing first, When you enter University, The Professor will only minimally help you with the problem. You are supposed to solve the problem by yourself.
They will likely setup peer review system and you should use that.

sonic current May 3, 2019, 4:59 AM

@celest yoke well thanks for helping but the University problem is not that. I have to finish the game until july because I will apply to a scholarship program and they are requiring good cv so I am making this game to be one

So I have no chance but to ask in groups and forums bro :)

haughty oak May 3, 2019, 9:41 AM

@frail dragon Sounds awesome but i cant do this 😃 You work with a team right^^
Btw. i fixed my game crash. It happened because of 3D Models of an Unreal Market Package. I reimport them and try it today again, if its crashing again i tell it the creator of the package 😮

When u packaging a game it should open a log where you can see all errors, infos and warning and there you can read all "problems" your game maybe have

So finally a working shipping package with STEAM and LAN working, ended up having to follow the full instructions as per building unreal engine from source(even though I'm using 4.22 win version) removing all unreal version caches from appsdata folder, manually installing the steam .dlls, treating them as v139, removing the saved and intermediate folders, added a C++ file to allow access to build.cs to insert "DynamicallyLoadedModuleNames.Add("OnlineSubsystemSteam");" and target.cs , placed steam sdk in correct folder, manually placing the steam_appid.txt in the exec folder of the nested project after build, which for some reason is nested within itself??? inside my staging folder.... ..... for my system 4.22 does not do anything automatically, in either development build or shipping, all steps as per source build, cleanse all caches and manually insert required files and refs, the only thing left is to make the actual game 😃

@mellow bane thanks! So, you mean it's the driver issue, like too old drivers, not the problem with the game itself? I thought this too.
For the second one, I did cook it, packaged for distribution, full rebuild etc. It works alright except on one machine.

I suppose. Its the same ue from launcher and the project is simply copy-pasted between machines

So, copypasting projects is a terrible idea

Use source control to synchronize the relevant folders - excluding Saved and Binaries, to start with.

mellow bane May 9, 2019, 3:00 PM

That's easy - UE4 has project-specific saved data, and editor-specific saved data

Notably, compiled shaders are stored at the engine level

#

Of course that behavior is extremely undesirable here

open rapids May 9, 2019, 3:01 PM

Hey All, I'm packaging my game in "test" configuration so that I can do a bit of profiling on my shipping build. However, when I run netprofile or stat startfile/stopfile no files are created. are those profiling tools not available in the "test" configuration? am I missing something?

#

Ok, I found an answerhub post that basically says the only stat commands available in that configuration are stat FPS and stat UNIT. Oh well.

#

New question, is it possible to add the commands I want to run to that configuration?

mellow bane May 9, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

Better to run in development at that point tbh

#

Cooked development should be somewhat reliable for profiling

snow oxide May 9, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

@mellow bane yeah, that's what I've been doing. I just thought I might be able to do some profiling with logging turned off. Do you know of another way to temporarily turn off logging in my dev build?

mellow bane May 9, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

Logging won't have a perf impact.

#

It's completely async

snow oxide May 9, 2019, 9:06 PM

#

@mellow bane Yeah, it's more about excluding FMsgLogf from the profiler so I can filter the game thread a bit and ignore stuff that's in there because it's writing stuff to the log.

📎 unknown.png

#

I suppose I COULD go through and clean up all the warnings these blueprints are throwing......

#

Then they wouldn't be writing to the log so much.

mellow bane May 9, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

TBH I wouldn't worry about, apparently 1% of your frame time. If you have 10 classes doing that much stuff...

snow oxide May 9, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

Yeah... I might. I'll have to clean them up when my manager lets me spend time on that. In the meantime, if I were to put the following in my DefaultEngine.ini:

 LogLinker=all off```

would that stop this from showing up in the profilier or will the BP still be running that function? maybe a dumb question.

does anyone know what I can do to prevent this error from happening? with 4.22, every time I package, I do get this error during packaging, and that makes packaging fail:

I can "fix" the error by going to the EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini and delete the PIESafeZoneOverride line there

but after I restart the engine, it automatically gets added back and causes packaging error again

I didnt answered your question because i never had such an error and i dont know how to fix this :/ I hope someone here can help you with this !
Maybe you should also create a Forum Thread with this problem OR if you use the 4.22 / 4.21, create maybe a bug report if you think this is a bug of the engine, then they help you 😃

hello is there a way to turn on/off paks-reading on startgame for a modded game? If you have 20+ paks as mods for a game,, the game starts to load slowly

#

so there should be a way to turn on/off which you want before game startup

mellow bane May 11, 2019, 11:05 AM

#

Depends on how you implemented modding

#

If you're putting mod paks in the mod folder for the game then no there isn't

#

Players will need to remove mods

bold flare May 11, 2019, 11:06 AM

#

ye i know

#

there should be a way to turn them on/off

mellow bane May 11, 2019, 11:15 AM

#

There isn't

#

UE4 sucks for mod support anyway, terrible engine for that

bold flare May 11, 2019, 11:29 AM

#

well one way would be to start an external program first, mark which you want, then they get renamed to .pak and game starts

#

if you mod other singleplayer games like skyrim, you can turn them on/off before

mellow bane May 11, 2019, 11:33 AM

#

Skyrim has an engine that has real mod support

#

UE4 does not

meager lion May 11, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

We migrated Engines from 4.20 to 4.21 or even 4.22 we get 1 error:

#

📎 Screenshot_20190504-083503.jpg

#

this happens on engine opening and cooking. 100% of everything is functional though. I cant find anything online or in the forums about it.

#

Would this be something i need to contact UE4 support about?

meager lion May 11, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

OKay so we sorta figured out the issue. If you look you see its looking for the ../../../../TwilightStarDepot folder.

#

However UE4 creates a new folder on upgrade called TwilightStarDepot 4.22 or 4.21

#

so what would hold onto this file path in the engine.

Hi guys, having issue with packaging (using UE4 4.20.3) to win64 or 32 nor development or shipping version.
I have following errors:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogInit: Display: LogBlueprint: Error: [Compiler BP_InventoryComponent] In use pin BP Inventory Component Right no longer exists on node Get . Please refresh node or break links to remove pin. from Source: /Game/Cat_Normal_maps/Duro/Components/BP_InventoryComponent.BP_InventoryComponent

game in PIE works ok including mentioned BP
I tried to refresh all nodes and recompile
I made that parts of code in BPspawnzone and BPInventory component anew
I have unplugged and even deleted that part of code in BPspawnzone and BPInventory
the BPspawnzone and BPInventory I have not touched for month and had no issues in previous packaging
I do not know what part of self reference in FirstPerson BP it does not like
erased folders Saved, Intermediate, Build
copied the project (without Saved, Intermediate, Build folders) to another PC with fresh UE4 4.20.3 installation and erased the derived data cache
Still getting the same errors.
Redirectors should be fixed

Any suggestion please? Thank you very much.

I'm also getting a midlife crisis now due to this same "Compiler Error: Failed Building Connection" error. Two days ago, I packaged successfully. Then closed the editor. The next time I launched the editor, I got the error. I've tried a lot of things. I've seen quite a number of errors and bugs in my day and debugged them successfully, including the infamous "works in the editor but not in the build" bug, but I've never seen a bug as frustrating as this one. I have manually rewritten the affected component (it's just one component that's affected in my project), after which everything was fine in the editor. I then saved and closed the editor. Upon launching the editor again, the bug resurfaced. I have tried to delete the component with the -NoLoadStartupPackages command editor launch, but it just keeps telling me to try to use the command. I have tried to replace references and consolidate assets, but it doesn't work and says there are external references to the component. I have tried to replace the component in explorer with an identical component (an older version of the same component that is bug free) but it crashes the editor on launch. I have deleted all folders except Config and Content, but still, no dice. I'm truly at a loss here. What should I do, please?

Hey, is there a way to only package assets that are used in a specific map? Like Unity does it?

jaunty mortar May 13, 2019, 12:38 PM

#

@tame shadow fill out the List of maps to include in a packaged build section under packaging in project settings

#

then itll only package what those maps use

tame shadow May 13, 2019, 12:39 PM

Thanks, I tried, but somehow it packages all assets in the project. I also tried to use a empty map... 🤔

jaunty mortar May 13, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

can other maps be opened from the console in the packaged game?

#

i know when i put maps on that list the pak file size reduced by a lot

#

but i noticed that the editor startup map gets packaged even though i didnt include it

tame shadow May 13, 2019, 12:43 PM

#

didnt test it, but the file size stayed the same. 2.5GB is too much if I only want the empty map...
Yeah I changed the startup map & modes too :/

jaunty mortar May 13, 2019, 12:44 PM

package it without a pak file so you can look through all the assets that were packaged

might help you find something that shouldnt be there

alright, so, i'm currently having a little issue
well, to say little is an understatement
i tried to package my project for windows 64 bit, but got an error, i looked up that error, and someone said to get it to work they deleted their intermediate and saved folders
so i did, and started up the project again, only to find the entire level i had created vanished and reset to the default little platform with two chairs and a table
is there a way i can recover said level?

#

the error in question is:

#

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

mellow bane May 14, 2019, 1:19 PM

#

Put the full log

#

Pastebin or something like that

#

And deleting intermediate & saved cannot remove content

#

You probably either deleted Content, or your editor didn't open the correct level

manic cobalt May 14, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

i am very sure i did not delete content, and indeed it would seem that it opens the incorrect level, but the main question is, where did my level go, because it just dissapeared into oblivion

#

hold on

#

i think i found it

#

YES

#

might have been a bit of a rollback using a backup

#

but thanks anyways

mellow bane May 14, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

To be clear, levels are neither in Intermediate or Saved

manic cobalt May 14, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

i know

#

but still, not having the intermediate files nor the saved files present at startup of the project file did something i can not explain

#

i'm just happy that it makes backups by default

Your path

Has a space in it

Which is causing it to fail to properly read the full path.

NEVER create directories with spaces

when I package a demo for windows to be play tested, (as in a play tester that is not part of the dev team and wouldn't have access to project files and for the sake or arguing, doesn't even have unreal engine, how exactly do I make my build out correctly?) I have gone to package project, windows and exported it to my desk top and the game will run flawlessly but 2 things have happened sense the first time I tried doing this, one, the zipped folder of this package does not like to be uploaded my personal drive, my media sharing website or anything else. Worth noting that the same issue is not happening with my game project file as a whole. I have tried to delete the entirty of the saved content in my project file just to see it was something there and still have these issues.

Hey guys
I am having some trouble with my shippingTest package i am Using a dynamic SpotLight as a Flashlight.
What is the problem now you'll ask.
The shipping package runs perfect on my pc on my gfs pc the functionality runs normaly but i have no light.
My pc has 32gb ram and Ati Radeaon Rx 480 8gb
And my gf's pc has 16 gb ram and Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 4gb
I really cant see the problem since i am running the exact same package in both pcs thanks a lot in advance
(could this be a problem that i have set Texture Streaming PoolSize to 3gb and her VRAM is 4gb?)

Hi, is there a way to reduce the size of the game exe file (like Game-Win64-Shipping.exe, this one) mine is 45MB. I removed all unused plugins but then I don't know what else to do.

@ornate summit I couldn't really find anything in the log but I decided to just deploy directly from my mac. But I'm now getting a completely unrelated error that I can't seem to fix, and I can't find anything in the output log or the log file. I posted it on the forums here: https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/ios-development/1622573-ios-packaging-error-on-mac .

I'm packaging my project for iOS from my Mac, after failing to package from my Windows PC for over 2 weeks. My packaging attempts from my mac seem to fail

Would you be able to help by any chance?

I dont know a thing about macs, never even used an ipod.

#

@open rapids you can do what I do when I package and that is to migrate used assets to another project and package it there

#

To do this transfer the maps and it ask to bring used assets with it

@ornate summit @mellow bane Someone on reddit suggestd to use a program called UPX. 44MB reduced to 16MB, which is pretty amazing.

I'm jealous that Unity games are always so tiny :)))

mellow bane May 23, 2019, 4:55 PM

#

Beware of packing though

#

The fools using an AV will 100% get a false positive

#

Another fun riddle is what you'll do when you need upgrading your game.

#

Enabling compression on PAKs -> Much lower size, but every update on Steam/GOG/Itch etc will result in a delta that's basically the new file in full

#

Not using compression -> Steam is better than UE4 at compressing for downloads, updates will be tiny, but much higher file size on disk

#

So the correct way, with compression and proper patching, is to use the UE4 patching system

#

But it's pretty terrible imho

Anybody familiar with the OnlineSubsystemOculus plugin here? We're trying to package for Android (Oculus Quest), have enabled the plugin, and added the appropriate lines to the DefaultEngine and AndroidEngine ini's. During the 1st steps in packaging for Android_ASTC, we're seeing this line:
LogOnline: Display: Oculus: FOnlineSubsystemOculus::InitWithWindowsPlatform()

and then a bunch of errors with regards to the AppID and such. Why is it running Windows plat code? How can we get it to run InitWithAndroidPlatform() instead?

marsh sierra May 24, 2019, 8:07 AM

I'm also having issues with packaging with the oculus online subsystem, the error message I'm getting is: "LogModuleManager: Warning: ModuleManager: Module 'OnlineSubsystemOculus' not found - its StaticallyLinkedModuleInitializers function is null." and I'm lost on what to do

#

I've done a whole bunch of google and trying different things to the point where it'd be crazy to list them all and I'm not really sure what I'm missing, I think it may be an error in my build.cs file which is setup like this currently:

public KrazyKarts(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
    {
        PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;
        PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[]
        {
              "Core",
              "CoreUObject",
              "Engine",
              "InputCore",

            });

    }

But i've reconfigured that and rebuild from source a lot so I'm not 100% sure

when you package, does it only add the assets that are in use to the package?

With android requiring 64-bit coming down the pipes, uploading to Google play has been confusing. I have packaged my project into 2 files, a 64-bit version and 32-bit version. If I try to upload both files on Google Play, it basically says the lower version number will be ignored and if I do them 1 at a time I get the warning of 32 bit needs to have a 64bit one from august and 64bit one says the amount of devices thatll no longer be able to use it. I'm not sure if me uploading 1 at a time is still uploading each individual-bit version, but if it's not, does anyone know of how to bundle both 32-bit and 64-bit versions into a single bundle?

Also, make sure to just launch your game once

#

Close the editor etc, right click your .uproject file, and hit Launch

If it works, then it's a packaging issue

if it doesn't work, then it's a project issue

You should see "Launch"

well I created a shortcut and the shorcut worked

light junco May 28, 2019, 2:28 PM

The point is that UE4 usually adds a bunch of options to the rightclick menu

#

One of them is Launch Game

#

You don't seem to have that

So UE4 isn't properly linked to the Shortcut

dapper fiber May 28, 2019, 2:28 PM

The byte order mark (BOM) at the start of the UTF-16 file This would be a seemingly invisible character you can only see it in HEX view i guess. Not sure tho if that's the issue in the first place.

light junco May 29, 2019, 5:53 PM

It reports the LE which is most likely line end?

I will try to change one of the files outside of VS to utf-8

and see if that removes the error for it

Could be something from Perforce I assume

mellow bane May 29, 2019, 6:44 PM

@light junco Notepad++ is free and fixes these easily

You can convert files to UTF16, UTF8, UTF8 without BOM

"UTF8 without BOM" is really "Works-on-non-Microsoft-UTF8"

If I don't use the "pak" files, the packaged game seems to have blueprint assets only of 1 or 2KB, while the corresponding assets in the project folder are around 100KB.

Hello. Is it possible to use the launcher version of the editor in order to generate a dedicated server build out of a project?

#

I'm familiar with the wiki articles, however my question is whether it has became possible since the publication of those articles to actually use the launcher editor for this purpose.

proven glade May 31, 2019, 2:32 AM

#

No because pretty sure only the source build contains the Development Server and such builds

#

there's no reason not to use the source version though especially if you're doing multiplayer

I use the launcher versions for testing stuff and checking out assets and all that, but develop my game in the source version

You can't stop people from getting anything on PC

#

There is virtually no security on the platform.

You can slow people down by encrypting, packing, etc.

Looks like your Target.cs file has errors in it.

#

In the future, try to put the build output as a text file on a paste service somewhere.

@mellow bane These are the errors only

open rapids Jun 6, 2019, 8:42 AM

I followed a tutorial so I beleived it would work fine

I made this, COuld that be the problem that IO'm using the wrong target document?

It's always better to provide a full text file immediately, rather than force people who help you on their own time for free to ask you for more details if whatever you provided doesn't have everything.

mellow bane Jun 6, 2019, 8:44 AM

Does the tutorial you follow specifies which UE4 version it targets ? UE4 has breaking changes with most versions, and tutorials are rarely up to date

open rapids Jun 6, 2019, 8:45 AM

#

There was 4 that's was up to 4.18, Then one without a version that I used

#

I used those

#

Also when I renamed the target files to .cs The wouldn't wana change the type

mellow bane Jun 6, 2019, 8:46 AM

Did you use the 4.18 version ? Your screenshot looks like the 4.15 version.

open rapids Jun 6, 2019, 8:47 AM

#

Hmm that would maybe be the problem, But I don't find the version for 4.22

#

No one have provided the document for that version

#

is .18 same as .22

mellow bane Jun 6, 2019, 8:48 AM

#

The wiki has been read-only for months, so it's stuck on 4.18

#

Which is still going to be closer to 4.22 than 4.15

Is there any way to specify cook params using the project launcher? Such as the IgnoreCookErrors for example.

grave hinge Jun 8, 2019, 12:24 PM

#

Maybe i'm asking this question wrong. Basically i'm looking for a way for specifying this param for the uat command. From the project launcher. But i guess it's only doable when running it from the commandline since the UI lacks a text field for additional commands?

Hi Community, fast question :
I created a release version "0.0.7", then i created a small patch for this "0.0.8" and now i wanna patch my game again "0.0.9", do i have to tell the engine now that my release version is 0.0.7 or 0.0.8? I dont understand this what they mean exactly 😮

📎 unknown.png

mellow bane Jun 8, 2019, 7:41 PM

#

This is for you to decide

#

But basically if you're going to use the arcane UE4 patching system, you patch against releases

#

So the latest non-patch release

haughty oak Jun 8, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

So you mean my "release version" is 0.0.7 (the one i builded first) and my patch version is then 0.0.9 ? 😮

mellow bane Jun 8, 2019, 7:42 PM

#

I guess ? You either do a release or a patch

#

Patches will be against the latest release

#

And then you'll publish new releases from time to time to clear out the patch history

#

TBH, other than shipping on the Switch, or having a particularly large game, I'd just use whatever distribution tool you have to handle versioning

#

I do a full new release everytime myself and let Steam handle the patching

haughty oak Jun 8, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

Oh steam can do this? So steam decides which file is new and have to replace ? 😃

mellow bane Jun 8, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

@haughty oak Using Steam you'll just give it a new version of the game

#

It will handle everything from there

#

It's recommended to not use compression, too, so that Steam compresses itself

For people don't want to click in link, this is the issue :

I add a new inputs mappings actions in my project and they work very well in editor and appear in options menu but when I package it, new inputs don't work and their are not take in my automatic option menu.

I'm take a video to show you : https://youtu.be/S5tkSGDtdL0

I also search in defaultinput.ini (I package without .pak files on) and my inputs are in this file so I don't know where is the problem ^^'

Thank you a lot for your answer, I'm so confuse ^^'

Edit : I just see the problem is only on a package with build configuration shipping
In developpement build, I have my inputs defense in options menu but I can't use their in game :/

It's your level lighting, so it's very important, and would be way too slow to rebuild

slim swan Jun 11, 2019, 10:40 AM

#

I ignored it cause it caused lots of conflicts

#

but it makes sense

mellow bane Jun 11, 2019, 10:41 AM

#

Yeah it makes sense that it would conflict a lot, just like the map file itself

#

Basically need artists to not push it just because they rebuilt lighting on their machine

#

@oblique falcon I'm not particularly familiar with Butler's performance, though my use on one game led me to believe that it's pretty reliable, generates small patches and applies them quite quickly

#

It's probably the best starting tool since it's widely used and open-source

tight siren Jun 13, 2019, 7:20 AM

#

is there any way to conditionally package a set of blueprints?

#

my game is made of a set of blueprints in a particular folder within the editor and a particular naming structure e.g. Level1, Level2, Level3

#

note theyre actors, not maps

#

i wanted to be able to package and build a separate demo version that just includes say Level0 through Level2

#

the game has some C++ there that scans the classes looking to see what the highest is, so simply excluding them somehow from packaging would be enough. i dont want to include them, or otherwise the demo basically contains the full game and can easily be poked back to a full version in like 1 minutes work

#

at least if i dont package all the levels with it, someone somewhere needs to at least buy or obtain a full version first

#

is this doable?

#

I am running into an issue where my server is not cooking the media files but my client is. Is this something expected of dedicated servers?

#

@tight siren , if you have your levels in different folders, you can ask the packager to ignore specific folders in the packaging.

#

Poke around in the project settings and you should find it.

Hi people!

Anyone has encountered an issue like this below when trying to launch their project on Android? We get these nasty errors, and the package won't launch. If we disable Async Package Loading Thread and Event Driven Loader, the project launches, but the assets it mentions in the previous crash are not loaded on the level. Re-saving the packages manually solves the issue, but on some levels we get like 80-90 package errors, and after re-saving them, more keep popping up (half of these are not even present on the level we want to launch) which makes it like an hour of saving and searching for a 15 seconds testing.

Hey guys!
Im currently making a multiplayer game, where there would be a LOT of maps. This game is also cross platform between windows and android (Vive and Quest).

What im looking for is a solution to be able to download a map from the internet at runtime and then play it from there.

Use case:
Player enters login lobby, logs in, then selects a server he wants to join. The game then downloads the map for that server and then joins the session. If map was previously downloaded, then it uses the same one.

I've looked into using each map as a separate plugin, but it seems to be a really long approach to do something simple. It also has the potential to really make the project super complicated when a whole lot of different maps are loaded.

Ideal route:
I have a folder - Map1, Map2, Map3.
Map 3 needs to be the one that would be downloaded if selected.

In the base cook, only Map1 and Map2 are included.

Somehow, i tell UE4 to cook only Map3 standalone as a pak file. Keep in mind, i am using a lot of plugins, and since it is crossplatform, the pak files for windows and android would differ.
I upload this file to the server.

Then during gameplay, it checks if the pak file exists in the package, if not, then download it and open it.

Is this the function of Unreal-Pak,exe?

Thanks! Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated.

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=1 (Error_Unknown)

#

Anyone ?

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

3 errors and 75 warnings

#

I have 0 errors and 0 warnings

#

you have to go through each warning and see what it is complaining about

#

it could be code or an asset

#

your cook failed before you packaged it so you have nothing to package

#

cull it down to the errors first all the red text and see what it is bitching about

#

you can turn off all the other spam and just see the errors

#

in your error message above you can see you have an error in AnimBP.FirstPerson_AnimBP

#

so fix that content then see what the next errors is

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:44 PM

#

@deep mantle okay Thanks i fix it but the AutomationTool error is still there 😦

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

If you cook you get no errors?

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

Nope

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

did it ever package?

#

did you recently change something in the Animation BP?

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

i never try it before

#

Now i try to update my Engine to 4.22.2 maybe the AutomationTool have some issues

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

no

#

do this test

#

take a default project

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

okay

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

create a default 3rd person exmaple

#

which you know should always work

#

and cook and package it

#

make sure your system is setup correctly and you havent broken anything

#

dont change anything in the project

#

just cook it and pakacge it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

okay

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

and then test

#

that way you know that something core is not broken

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

thank you btw for helping me 😉

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

it is also a good way to make sure a new version of the engine is working

#

no worries

#

now if you have added 3rd party content

#

a character or animation or anything and it breaks that working example you know it what you have added

#

it is

#

the engine is good at reporting what it isnt happy with

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

anything else ?

📎 unknown.png

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:51 PM

#

nah just create a default those always are tested and work

#

cook and package it

#

then fire it up

#

it will produce an .exe and you can run it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:52 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

50%

#

should i press Build first?

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

cook it

#

then package it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:54 PM

?

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

yes

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

okay

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

you can see the output log

#

while it is doing it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

yes

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

and see the errors or warnings

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

1 Warning but Cooked Completed

#

So lets packaging

#

Strange the Tool work here

📎 unknown.png

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:58 PM

#

yes it should

#

if epic released bad / broken code for the basics people would stop using it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

lol but without files 🤔

📎 unknown.png

#

nope

📎 unknown.png

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

the exe should be on your desktop or where ever you are outputing the build

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

This is my Default path

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:00 PM

#

I send my builds to my desktop and you should see a folder inside the folder 2 dirs and a exe

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

Unreal put my files in the Document Folder 🙃

#

📎 unknown.png

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

yeah that can be default you can set it every time you build

#

when I package it always prompts me for a location

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

works fine with no issues

📎 unknown.png

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

I just point at the desktop so it easy to find as my desktop is a void

#

ok

#

good

#

so you can delete the project and the that folder

#

you can always recreate it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:02 PM

#

okay

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:03 PM

#

now you know your system is working

#

so why is your main project failing

#

what is in the main project

#

did you add some animation package or chracters?

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

Just Blueprint Files Meshs Textures but no C++ Code

#

yes i create some Animation blueprints and blendshapes for my ai

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

well your error is related to animation

#

right so that is where the trouble is

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

yes the Firstperson blueprint char cant find his Skeleton

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

when you cook / package things that the editor will allow will not be allowed in the final form of the content, many things are like this, one test you can do is cook / package a debug / development build

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

but i dont need it and delete anything but not the Character itself

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

if you are packaging A shipping build this is the harshest "most final" it can be

#

so you took the FPS BP and replaced it with your character?

#

and your skelton

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

Okay this is also the last Step when the game dont need any kjind of Updates?

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

yeah you package for shipping when you want to test it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

Nope i delete the FirstPerson Animation BLueprint and anything else i dont need for the Project

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

the good news is it is something you did

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

yes 😓

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

yeah you might not know what it is looking for something is still looking for those files

#

so when you package / cook it cant find it

#

throughs the error and fails to build

#

what Ilike to do

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

but why ? i can play the game in the Editor and the log file dont say anything about missing content

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

since I dont know why they have things working the way they do is keep a seperate / default for like FPS template then I copy the content I want to a new / Vexar Content directory then work with those assets keeping the working assets intact until I have it all up and working

#

after I can build a shipping product I will go through and clean up each thing testing as I go to make sure I havent broken anything

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

but one step i forgot before Packaging i dont start Cooking the files for Windows

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

oh

#

😃

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:11 PM

by this project

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

so are you trying to cook it for windows?

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

So the main project

#

nope

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

well try that then package

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:13 PM

Pray to our god sweeny

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

by the first Version of the Game my trigger box wont load the other Levels only in the Editor Mode

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:15 PM

#

his spies are everywhere so praising him can only benefit us

#

so

#

did you include your levels in the setup?

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:16 PM

📎 unknown.png

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:16 PM

#

you have to add them to the project setup

#

go to project settings

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

i try it but everytime i did this all levels collide in One Map 😦

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

go to maps and modes

#

checkk to make sure that is how you want it

#

then go to packing

AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=1 (Error_Unknown)

#

After UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): Creating Staging Manifest...

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

not sure

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:25 PM

#

This is the only Error

#

in some forums i see people say maybe there some Issues with AutomationTool please reinstall the Engine or remove the Plugin

#

Any other Suggestions ?

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:31 PM

#

I guess it is an easy thing to try

#

I never had trouble with it through since version early versions

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

hm okay

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

sorry I am trying to fix my own stuff so I am focused on that a bit more

#

but check back with me after you repair it

#

if everything is working with a default project then your stuff is working

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:32 PM

#

okay but thank you for your Help 😉

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

if it was me I would remove my content out of it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

maybe in the Future i will Release my game

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

see if it work

#

s

#

you can duplicte the project

#

remove it part by part until it works

#

keep track of what you removed 1 at a time

#

until it works

#

then add everything back in except for that part

#

see if it works

#

then fix that part and add it

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

its a good workflow Sure but i have so much Stuff in this Project 😄

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:35 PM

#

then if it works all together copy the old / broken now fixed version back to the clean project and clean your "working" version of the porject

#

yeah its good to test packaging every time you do some additions so you can make sure you havent broken anything

#

like on COD you have 700+ people check into a project they have several machines building the entire game every change that is checked it to prevent anyone from breaking the build

#

if your changelist breaks the build all the managers are told and you are sent a nice email to fix your shit

Oh yes or a Assassins Creed origins with people Arround the World xD

it must be so cool to work on a AAA titel but i think anyone hate Crunch Times

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

I love them because it means we are shipping the game

#

what I dont like is redoing work because people cant make a decision

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

like ?

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

anything mostly poor design which sounded terrible on paper and is terrible in the game those arent so bad because you expect to be replaced but when something changes for no other reason then someone feels differently about it when they woke up that day.

#

I have been a pro for 30 years so I have seen a lot of crazy stuff

swift badge Jun 16, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

Yeah sounds not so great at all

#

30years in the Gaming Branche Nice

deep mantle Jun 16, 2019, 11:47 PM

#

I have made a lot of mistakes even design where I am strongest

#

I try to contain and always try contain them so the team didn't get effected, but I have made misteks just from people listening me to when I got older and I had to get used to that because when I was younger nobody ever listened to me.
