Is there a way of packaging project in VS Code instead of VS community?
grave hinge
i never actually used vscode. but there are build tools you must install in order to compile code. vscode is but a text editor i suppose, so you must follow the guidelines to set it up properly. please correct me if i'm wrong but i think vscode is a lite version of vs ide. even then, vs ide won't compile you anything, the builder tool does
distant drum
vs code wont compile, its basically a prettier Notepad
cerulean shell
ah cool. I'll install the full version then. I installed VS code because of size it takes up it takes on the hard drive.

when i package my game in shipping mode, defaultengine.ini isn't copied into the game
is there a reason why, how can i fix this please? it contains all the config for onlinesubsystem, so without it...
tight siren
hrm
it seems this is either a steam bug, or a ue4 bug, thats existed since 4.10. unless i launch my packaged game through the steam client, the overlay doesnt work, i was taking this to mean that steam wasnt initialised at all in absence of any logs in my shipping build.

Any idea how long a 3 GB game take to cook
tight siren
how long is a piece of string?
my game is 1gb and takes 10 mins
i could say that perhaps your game may take 30 mins, perhaps it wont, because you dont have my pc, perhaps your pc is faster or slower than mine? perhaps your game contains more complex assets or mine does.
time it a few times with a wallclock and see?

then i get a black screen

xKingdom, you can take a look at the saved folder to see for some logs showing up with the error, that is - along with the stack trace - can be indication of the nature of the error, as well as the logged entries before the crash.
grave hinge
I remember being new to unreal and it's composition. It took me a while as well to figure it out, all without help and the useful informations on answerhub, forums etc. It is confusing indeed, and intimidating.
I cannot give you a better outline of the steps i usually take to trace errors.
timber cosmos
can you friend me and i can screen share and show you the error
grave hinge
I know already what is happening, you get a fatal error and a blank screen. The error is in the logs, and you must find it, read it, you can copy some entries here or share the entire log with us, and maybe somebody have ideas where to look. Sharing your screen and seeing the same thing won't do any help to move forward actually.
Besides, what will happen the next time you run into error? Keep bothering people on the internet? :) You should learn these steps on your own, for the better.

How does one enable logs in shipping builds again?
bUseLoggingInShipping = true; in the Target.cs causes it to not compile anymore with:

is there a way to automatically deploy on other LAN computers?
I see this in the docs, but "currently not supported" ....
Unreal Remote Agent (URA) is a standalone program that runs in the system tray of remote PCs (and eventually Macs) to make those PCs and console devices connected to them available over the network. URA, previously required to deploy and launch games, is currently not supported and in the process of being upgraded.

How about you set the packer to store files on a network drive and share this folder with everyone else? Not sure if this is enough / what you're looking for but maybe helps.

rancid mountain
@vernal oxide try android-ndk-r12b
SDK API Level latest
NDK API Level android-24
In Platforms-Android , just for kicks, try Min SDK Version 9, Target 9
Not sure what platform you're working on exactly, but this worked for me for Go/Quest
Might be a bit old now though, probably should update.
Regardless, unless NDK is newer in newest UE4 release
Just use whatever they have
I would follow these guides though:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Platforms/Mobile/Android/GettingStarted/index.html

Well brah, it tells you where
1. To install CodeWorks for Android 1R6u1, navigate to the Engine > Extras > Android folder.
I suppose they could be a little more specific, but they mean the release version of the engine
If you have other versions of the Android SDK installed (or, older versions of CodeWorks for Android), we recommend that you uninstall them and install CodeWorks for Android, using the CodeWorks for Android installer that's being distributed with UE4.
I guess they do
vernal oxide
Yes but some libraries needs VB2015
rancid mountain
So install Visual Studio?
vernal oxide
I have the 2017

I mean, you don't need to delete, but maybe optimize
Like if you're doing crazy stuff like uncompressed lightmaps
Or if you have distance fields but don't use them

also if you're referencing a ton of assets in levels you might want to replace them with soft references or such
so it defers loading them until they're actually needed

Does anyone know how to utilize the Project Launcher to build/cook and automatically move the build to another PC that has no UE4 installed?
frank garnet
I dont think you would be able to without some form of inbetween like a CI solution.
Push an Archive to Source Control? Have the other machine pull?
light junco
I want to automate it
frank garnet
Build Server?
light junco
I can already grab the packaged folders on the linux PC, but I have better things to do than always switch between both PCs
Never set that up, also not sure what resources (especially โฌ) it takes for that
frank garnet
Is this for Personal use?
light junco
It's a clients project that we have a Windows and an XBox client for and a Linux Dedi Server
And I'm getting annoyed by all the different things you have to do to test things.
I want to press "Build" and x time later want the thing on my linux pc
If possible without a custom crafted solution with scripts on my end.
frank garnet
Ive spent the last week or so setting up a automated build process for a Client using Jenkins.
They have their own machine as a build server though.
light junco
Yeah i heard that word couple of times
frank garnet
P4 on an EC2 instance.
Jenkins works well, its just batch files at the end of the day.
Which meshes well with UAT, UBT etc etc
light junco
I mean, I'm fine with building on my PC here
Cause they won't test Linux
Neither will they test the Xbox build atm
Or at least not in a matter that it needs a build server on their end
I would be happy to have my PC deploy to the Linux Laptop already
But there is like 0 documentation on the Project Launcher in that matter
frank garnet
Ive not used the Session Frontend for any of my building, like ever. Ive always defaulted to writing batch scripts.
I find the Session Frontend more confusing haha
light junco
Right, I could write my own Application that executes the batch files and then sends files to a networked pc
But I could also just not
.>
modest imp
@light junco off the top of my mind, I guess you could make a script locally that monitors (or compares at run time) for changes of files in a folder and copy those to your mapped network location.
Oh, you already considered that ๐
light junco
THAT is basically just a Dropbox or GoogleDrive
And I really don't need something online
Cause sending it via LAN is a lot faster than uploading it to an internet drive first
modest imp
Well, no, I ass-u-med that everything is locally and you don't want stuff going out.
frank garnet
Our CI solution polls P4 for any changes, if it detects some, it automatically runs a compile of binaries (to update and push to Artists) then runs a full build of the Project across whatever platforms are required and then archives the results (it also pushes a dedi server to GameLift but thats here nor there).
light junco
I mean that was internet too but well
frank garnet
Devs just grab the latest build from Steam automatically in the Dev branch.
If they need to test.
By the time they get it, the GameLift server will be active
light junco
Yeah I have some own ideas for an automated System
frank garnet
And they can join instantly.
light junco
Right now I would really just be happy to press build and work on something else until the laptop has the build
You can deploy to Phones and Consoles
Just weird that I can't do that to a linux pc
frank garnet
So they are local networked devices?
light junco
At least IOS pops up, with me having not a single IOS device
Yeah they are both in the same network
frank garnet
Maybe Linux isnt supported as a device to deploy to?
light junco
I can even see Cรฉleste's PC in that list
But she also has WIndows with UE4 on it
so hm
Maybe or you need UE4 on it
frank garnet
I wouldnt be surprised if you need UE4 to get it to be discovered.
I dont think it would be allowed to just accept a random connection, even if local.
light junco
Just listing network PCs and their public drives wouldn't hurt anyone
Anyway, thanks for the input. I'll see what I can do.

Hey,
does anyone have any tips to find DoesPackageExist issues when Packaging the Project for Dedicated Server from source?
Or tips how to find assets that aren't visibly referenced by anything?
"PackagingResults: Error: DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: '/Project/Effects/Particles/Materials/M_MyMaterial' is not a standard unreal filename or a long path name.

'/MediaCompositing/', '/OculusVR/', '/SteamVR/', '/BFServerMonitor/', '/Crush/', '/WGBaseVehicle/', '/Wwise/', '/Config/', '/Script/', '/Memory/', or '/Temp/'"
For the warnings it says it cant find the file to load it, but it shouldn't even load it anyway.
The Material should even exist anymore and can't find any references to it at all. I've deleted all the build/cache folders, and I'm running out of ideas ๐ฎ
Maybe some references still exist, which aren't used anymore, but ue4 doesn't detect them when seraching through the project

After hardcore searching through every BP asset, i found that something wasn't set properly, and therefore it took an incorrect file path or old file path.

Q: if I package my game without pak (with content folder as uassets), can I just add uassets later and they will be detected by the AssetRegistry?
primal thorn
@mellow bane what is faster, no pak or compressed pak?
mellow bane
Fastest is probably uncompressed pak
primal thorn
that makes sense, i was asking about the 2nd and 3rd place
mellow bane
Dunno really we were on uncompressed pak here
primal thorn
does the compressing nullifies the extra file calls needed when you dont have pak?
i've been spending all day trying all sorts of configurations to find a way to have my levels load fast
in 4.20 all i needed to do was set initially loaded on the level, package it and i was off to the races with good load speeds
in 4.22 just a single level takes 30 secs to load
jaunty dawn
but is it easier?
the reason we want to use the upaked uassets is to allow a cms online tool hwere a team can upload uassets
and the game will just patch them
with a patcher
mellow bane
No, that can't work
You need to cook the assets
The packaging process in UE4 cooks assets, and optionally packs them
Saved .uasset files on your disk can't be distributed to users
jaunty dawn
yes, I mean that
one team has an UE4 project, that cooks the assets
then upload them
with a tool
and another team does the game, which loads the uassets from a server
at least I prototyped it and it worked
but not sure how hard would be to do that with paks
mellow bane
It's much simpler to simply all work together on the project, and for every update, cook the game and package it
jaunty dawn
I understand that simplicity, but this project doesn't allow that ๐
we have to split that, and create uploadable assets
if this or load the actual fbx andtextures
in runtime
which I think is worse
mellow bane
It's not possible to have your users load "FBX or textures" directly
They can only load cooked assets
jaunty dawn
it's possible, I was making tests, but it's more tricky
mellow bane
It's not
mellow bane
Make sure the FBX license allows it without $$$$
jaunty dawn
our client has all that $$, we don't tho, and we are learning Unreal
but still
why to do it that way
if we can load uassets
mellow bane
The normal, safe and most efficient way of working is to give all teams access to the UE4 project repo
Then for distribution to players, cook and package
Now if you want your content team to produce assets without access to the game, just ask for uncooked assets
Like the UE4 marketplace does
And then cook & package for players
jaunty dawn
they have to send the final assets that will be put in the game
without an intermediate cooking
well, they can cook
but it'll not go to the game project
we have it running
they have one project, they cook
they upload them
we load them in the actual game
but we were investigating if it's not hard to do something like that with paks
and if it's also possible
like having a pak generated in another project
etc
mellow bane
The way to do this with paks would be with mods
But it's extremely impractical
Even more than the nonsensical workflow you have
tight siren
hi, i cant package my project and i'm not sure why. i had a graphics driver crash that killed the editor, i restarted the pc and reloaded the editor, but packaging stops at cooking one particular asset
the asset hasn't actually changed, i can compare it to the same asset in my backup from a week ago
is there some sort of cooking cache i can clear to kick it back into shape again?
when i say it stops, ue4editor-cmd climbs slowly to 4.5gb of ram, and pegs at 17% cpu, then sits there for hours
im currently trying a package/cook with 'full rebuild' enabled
...no luck.
deleteing intermediate hasnt helped either
im now trying reimporting all assets related to that static mesh and saving them again, textures, materials, and trying again...
mellow bane
So, "full rebuild" is for C++
What is the error in the log output ?
What is the asset ?
tight siren
there isnt an error
its a static mesh from an ammo pack from the ue4 store

it just hangs there for upwards of hours

tight siren
nope
2000 tris
it was all building fine until earlier when ue4 crashed
but, ive compared it to the copy of that same asset in my version control with a binary diff, its not corrupted
mellow bane
What was it doing when it crashed ?
tight siren
idling?
i went away to do something else, came back and the amd graphics driver had crashed, ue4 lost its d3d context and went with it

hmm, theres cache in there going back to 2015, ue4 sure likes to keep stuff around doesnt it
upper hemlock
I get this error on build machine and on other machines as well
mellow bane
Okay - On other machines, you will need to install the VC redist, and the UE4 redistributables
On the build machine it's not normal to have this issue
upper hemlock
can it be related to the free space on build machine?

hmmm.
now loading the editor is doing what cook did
its hung and pegged at 17% cpu
i'll just keep waiting
impatience could cause more issues :/
tight siren
i think its done with that, shadercompileworkers have all exited, its on something else internal to the editor exe now
the developer in me gets annoyed at long delays and wants to watch a verbose log, lol
lapis coral
I though shader building was at 45% loading ๐
upper hemlock
I think of deleting all previous build data and package everything from scratch but it will take hours and doesn't guarantee that I don't get that error again
tight siren
@lapis coral initialisation of any C++ base classes seems to be at 45%
i know this because once i had a broken gameinstance class and it would cause the editor to bomb out with a crash at 45%
its moved on to 95% @mellow bane
this is excruciating ๐
oooh, editor is up and building mesh distance fields. once this is done and its settled, i'll try the package project again and we'll see what happens
hmmm
clicked play in editor, wondering what would happen... thats exhibiting the same behaviour and has been hung for >5 minutes at 17% cpu
wish i knew what it was actually doing...
ffs
if a computer program could receive physical voilence, now would be the time.
@mellow bane full cook running now after clearing DDC

Cool
tight siren

@mellow bane do you have any idea what could cause cpu going to 90% 30 seconds when you launch a packaged version? i just have a simple level with a default GameMode (so no custom logic) and no bps, just static mesh actors
i just have a rather simple sub-level with a few static mesh actors
the level loads
and it continues with cpu at 90% for quite a bit more time
that seems to be what is killing my performance
once the cpu stabilizes it's all good
in terms of performance
but he seems to be buffering or processing something
mellow bane
Profile it, I guess

Heey, I got some issues today. Everytime if I start packaging my game this error come up ERROR: Missing precompiled manifest for 'EditorWidgets'. This module was most likely not flagged for being included in a precompiled build - set 'PrecompileForTargets = PrecompileTargetsType.Any;' in EditorWidgets.build.cs to override. I'm not sure where it cames from, I packaged my game yesterday without any issues. The only thing I did was changing some code in VS and only on some structures/datatabels.
Some peoples told me to edit the ".uproject" and remove "UMG" in "AdditionalDependencies" but it doesn't fix the ERROR at all and I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to edit the ".uproject"

Use your source texture before import
Or right-click your asset and hit export - won't work with marketplace content obviously

Hey,
Does anyone know how i can add non uasset files like *.png to the pak files?
Currently I have a png file in my Map folder, and since i can only specify folders for non uassets I've simply added the whole maps folder to "Additional Non-Asset Directories To Copy"
dusk briar
anyone know why a hard referenced anim blueprint would not show up in the cooking list? the asset is null in builds
open rapids
guys, do texture uassets, wich are created from a png still require the png?
currently i'm having the issue that packaging gets rid of my png's
mellow bane
You don't need the source file, just the cooked uasset
It contains a copy of the image in a format that UE4 can use
open rapids
ah ok, seems like someone created some strange custom solution for my project ._.
i already thought this can'T be normal
Update:
So my team needed the real png for the server and it seemslike uasset textures generated from png(or any image format) doesn't have any information on servers. therefore the solution was to have the non uasset png which gets read directly by the server. Inorder to get non uassets working with packaged files, the png needs to be moved in to a seperate folder which doesn't include any other uassets, because otherwise adding the folder to the packaging configuration (copy non uassets to pak) won't work. I've check this by simply extracting the *.pak
(shipped with engine) UnrealPack.exe <PakFileToExtract> -extract <TargetFolderWhereToExtract>
important, don't use absolute paths, always use relatives paths so ue4 can use it's virtual filesytem for packaged files.

@woeful cypress dude that error says an object referenced isnt setted

@vernal oxide thanks...apparently it is related to autosigning option
as for your issue, i think the packaging and deploy on device are not exactly the same process internally...

Im having trouble with an animation blueprint not being packed, the files around it in that same folder are packed no problem but this Animation BP that uses a custom AnimInstance i wrote is consistently not included in my package causing a crash at boot when it tries to access it through a map of default objects we use to have some easy quick and early references to certain important/overal used objects
i have added the folder to the folders to include, its all just a regular uasset
but for some reason it always gets skipped (its also referenced in several of my maps, so it does seem unlikely that its that)
vast veldt
ok, so after some forcing its included in the package now but my DataAsset that is literally just a TMap<FString, UObject*> wrapper still has the reference to it nulled for some reason
vast veldt
ok so i figured it out... referencing an Animation Blueprint through a UObject* is nulled, Refencing it through a UAnimBlueprint* is also nulled but referencing it as a UAnimBlueprintGeneratedClass* is not nulled... does anyone have ANY links to any documentation regarding this absolute confusing clustertruck?
late pilot
Is there a way, prior to packaging, to run a script etc which removes any unused assets (meshes, BPs, textures) etc? Or is it a manual deletion type of task?
mellow bane
@late pilot Simply fill the list of maps you use in project settings
That will automatically remove all unused content from packaging
late pilot
Awesome! Thanks @mellow bane
tight siren
is there any advantage to getting unrealpak to use more than one cpu, and if so, is it possible?
it seems to spend a lot of time spinning its heels at 17% cpu, which for me is one whole core
mellow bane
@tight siren Is it the packing process specifically ? That one is usually extremely fast, like 10s for me max
tight siren
@mellow bane its the speed of unrealpak since i turned on compression, it takes about 5-10 mins to compress 2.7gb on an SSD
looking at it in task manager etc, its not i/o bound, but churning cpu while doing the compression
its not so slow if you use uncompressed paks, but then you have a 2.7gb game redist, instead of a 1.2gb
mellow bane
Yeah, looks like it's single threaded
tight siren
also it seems that it only uses gzip, when there are much better alterantives out there. i looked at some paid ones like the one thats part of RAD game tools, but theyre outside of my budget
mellow bane
The quality of compression is pretty much pointless tbh
Speed of decompression might be the most important parameter
tight siren
not at all, where do you live if you dont mind me asking @mellow bane ? where i live in the uk, for home broadband it's not metered but mobile is, per gigabyte. in a lot of countries that arent the US or UK, they meter internet per gigabyte on fixed connections. those places will soon get bent out of shape if you dont compress things as far as possible
tight siren
i agree speed of decompression is important too
yes, but not just steam, im also on some more primitive platforms like gamejolt
mellow bane
Okay, because Steam etc definitely compress your downloads - more efficiently so than UE4 does, actually
tight siren
basically, can't rely on the platform to always do compression and good binary diffing, or even have a client
most users of itch don't use the client (because its pants tbh) so whenever someone downloads the game thats a 1.2gb downloaded zip
i do wish all these others could be better, and as good at some thing as steam
mellow bane
We use 4GB uncompressed paks over here and I've yet to see players complain tbh
Though yeah, we only ship on Steam, GOG and Itch, all of which offer great compression out of the box
tight siren
i have a feeling thats going to change here in the next few years near future... just a thought re 5G internet
mellow bane
Itch sales so little it doesn't really matter anyway
tight siren
i spoke to some telecoms guys who said 5G is basically the future of all internet, that it'll do away with fixed wired connections... but the mobile companies still want to meter it per gigabyte, so thats going to change the landscape if they're correct
mellow bane
I expect gamejolt has similarly pointless sales number
tight siren
however, i cant be sure if they were just over-excited about new and shiney
and yeah the stores that matter which arent steam, resell steam keys
apart from discord
tight siren
im on one that might matter, as theyre going to market for me too ๐
only a little, but it helps
mellow bane
We found that Itch was cool while in development as a free game deployment infrastructure, that you can keep later on if you care but doesn't sell ; Steam & GOG have been very good
I'd try getting the EGS too now ; that covers all of the market
tight siren
i havent gotten anywhere with them yet
just a generic "thanks, we're overloaded with submissions, havent rejected you but havent taken it further either" email
mellow bane
Same for us.
tight siren
i think its basically as good as rejection atm
because they have no time to read several hundred thousand applications
it took them months just to send out that message
personally, i'd like to get onto consoles. i'm going to push for that once the game's been out a couple of weeks, once i can gauge if its liked
i started down the route of PS4, but didnt have the time to properly do all the paperwork, then the cert process, etc
i also started with id@xbox, but was told the game was too niche and therefore too much of a risk for them
may be able to go back to them on that, if steam's figures can prove its not a risk ๐

More of a steam question but
When packaging and uploading to steam, is there a way to only update the changed/new/deleted files instead of uploading the full package again.
and the same for creating a steam update, Is there a way that the user can download only the changed files instead of the full package
mellow bane
@sonic minnow Steam dies exactly that for you
You build with a full archive, but it will generate a small update
sonic minnow
the update i did sent the full download again
mellow bane
Did you use something like encryption ?
Out of the box, Steam will always generate very small updates - if it doesn't, it either means you really changed all of the content (lighting rebuilds do that), or you used something that breaks the updating system like encryption
sonic minnow
No, i packaged the game uploaded to steam, updated the game, packaged again, sent to steam.. then the update was the full size
mellow bane
What did you change in your update ?
Steam always does binary patching, it's incredibly efficient at it - any issue you have is with the packaging, so it's what you need to investigate
sonic minnow
added some sound, removed a few things, added a couple of decals
i thought of something, i didnt package to the steamworks SDK content folder, I actually packaged then copied it to the steamworks content folder overwriting the previous versious,,,, would that be the problem?
mellow bane
No
You just tell Steam where the new content is
As long as your new content isn't completely different, Steam will always generate very small updates
sonic minnow
Yeah, I dont know why it does a full download
mellow bane
Three obvious things to check : lighting rebuild with static Lighting ; encryption ; enabling or disabling compression for your pak file
Compare the size of the two versions of your game - if you really haven't changed much, the difference should be small
sonic minnow
yeah, it was literally 3 sounds a decal and some colour changes to material instances
I will see what happens next time
i guess this is why it scans the folder, to detect the changes before it uploads?
mellow bane
It looks at every file, and then compares with the version currently on Steam
Then it computes the difference and stores that
It doesn't need the two versions locally to look for differences
open rapids
hey,

low elk
I'm lost here.. I'm trying to let users be able to import .pak file into a game, but the only tutorials for modding are from 2012 and half finished
How do I go about making a mod kit?
mellow bane
@low elk So if you want modding, steer free from UE4
It's possible, but extremely constraining
Some constraints include :
- you can't release your mod kit anywhere but the Epic Games Store
- you'll have to release a large part of your game content with it so that people can actually work with it
- can't release marketplace assets (unless you know how to make them read only)
- your modkit needs updating with every single game content update
- people can only add new content, not remove or modify
Overall it simply sucks, completely, we made it for Helium Rain and I never want to do it ever again
Also UE4 doesn't support Steamworks, at all, and you really can't have Steamworks with paks in a clean way
So if you want modding with UE4, fine, but don't use paks, ever. Use your own file formats, don't allow mesh imports, etc
low elk
Thanks for the heads up. Would a mod kit be abosultely necessary to mod the game?
Let's say I just want to have users be able to create a new gun, can't they just import the base class of a gun or whatever, create a blueprint as a child class, export that blueprint into a .pak file and put it into the Paks folder of the game?
mellow bane
That's literally the only way UE4 allows modding, so yeah
Except pak file for mods are terribly bad as a concept
But let's go back a bit : how do people do a Blueprint gun based on your game ? They'll need the base class
So you need to provide your game project stripped from content you don't want people to see / aren't allowed to ship
But then if you have C++, or a C++ plugin, people now need to build it
So you're going to say - I'll release the prebuilt binaries too
Which then forces you legally to go through EGS.
Now pak files - you can't load them dynamically, you can't load them from outside the game folder, and you can't have Steam install them in the game folder.
Basically UE4 modding support is actually UE4 DLC support - it's meant for adding new optional content to your game. It only does that, and it does nothing actually related to mods, like adding them while the game runs, etc
low elk
Okay I see, well thank you for informing me on this
mellow bane
You're welcome
Now you still can have modding through gameplay
Like Super Mario Maker does, I mean

I'm trying to set up a container image that jenkins can tell to pull down an unreal project from source control, build it, and then submit the bins back
I'm basing it off of your prereqs image
I'm making progress now since I asked (I was getting stuck but I fixed it)
i'm a total docker newbie, basically all I've been doing is reading samples and copy+pasting code around to try to get things working haha
rugged ether
Hahaha, I can understand why you've run into issues then. Writing Dockerfiles for UE4 is a pain even when you've got previous experience with Docker.
ashen pewter
yeah
right now I've got java downloaded and installed, I'm just working on getting the agent downloaded and running
rugged ether
So you're planning on running the Jenkins agent inside a container then?
ashen pewter
yeah
I've got the master working
which is just easy
run the docker image
then I need a build agent that can pull down my project and build it
I think after I'm done with this and get it working, I kinda want to put UE into a container to run a DDC build
so I can fill out a DDC server
rugged ether
I've not had any experience running the Jenkins agent inside a container myself, so I can't offer any advice there unfortunately. I typically just run the Jenkins agent on the host and have it spawn UE4 containers to run build jobs by specifying the container image in a pipeline definition.
That being said, you could always just run the Jenkins agent inside a separate container that bind-mounts the Docker socket from the host system so it can run other containers as needed.
ashen pewter
i think that is what I'm doing
er
well
I have the plugin that lets jenkins launch docker containers on some docker host
which I have configured
and I tested that
with a simple jenkins agent
(i just did a simple hello world)
rugged ether
Cool, sounds like you've got a good starting point then. The most important thing is just to make sure that your Jenkins container image is separate from the UE4 image, since UE4 is massive and takes ages to build so you don't want to have to rebuild its image in order to update the version of the Jenkins agent.

Hi! Anyone here using 4.22.3 and tried packaging with Steam Audio?
upbeat cargo
can you provide more information? what have you tried? what exactly does "not running" mean in your case?
fossil dust
Do unused assets take up space in a packaged game? I have a ton of asset packs added to my project and I only use a few assets from each. Project folder is over 40 GB lol
winter tree
put them in a folder and exclude the folder
Project Settings -> Packaging -> Directories to never cook
versed musk
i hope im in the right place... so my problem is, i built unreal engine from source but its 100GB and i only need the essential files to copy, not everything(no pdbs etc) any batch tools are available that only copy the needed things for the editor to run to a dir?
inner island
is there to way to package the obb file INTO the apk file? otherwise wouldn't I have to have user copy obb to correct folder?
kind talon
Is this the right channel to ask about Localization?
sleek wasp
@inner island usually if you provide a installation .bat it will install the .apk and then the .obb
if you upload to google play for example it will install automatically
but in the android settings in project settings there is a checkbox
inner island
@sleek wasp Awesome, thanks man!

noob here, i'm trying to package a project that uses a couple of plugins installed from the launcher
but the packaged game does not include my plugins... don't know what to do
spice prairie
Found a workaround
- Convert the blueprint project to a code project
- Copy plugins from ENGINE/Plugins/Marketplace to PROJECT/Plugins/Runtime
- Edit .uprojects from plugin to add "Installed": true and "Type": "Runtime"
- Uninstall plugins using the launcher so the only copy will be in the project plugins
- Compile
vivid tulip
ok so i have a seemingly unsolvable issue. im trynna make a game (obviously) and when i play the game in the engine editor it works. if i play the game after packaging it or by clicking the full game launcher in the editor, the textures on the player and the stairs are not appearing
they get replaced with the default checkerboard pattern
ive been trying to solve this for over 10 hours with no avail
also, the textures that are not showing up also dont get packaged with the packager or launcher. says something about "missing shader cache stuff" or whatever so idk why that is since it runs fine in editor mode
mellow bane
@vivid tulip Put the packaging log on pastebin or analog service and link it here
Chances are, you'll have "materila couldn't be compiled" type errors

Any straight forward solution to have UE4 include .ttf files into the build?
We currently have to manually place the files into the packaged build.
It's font files, in case someone wonders.
mellow bane
No idea what these are, but yes
light junco
It's just the base font files you'd download if you wish to install a new font
For whatever reason, UE4 wants me to add the original raw files into the folder where the uasset files are
Otherwise it cries in the logs
mellow bane
RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(FontPath , "font.fft"));```In your build.cs file
light junco
Coolio, thanks!
mellow bane
(For /Fonts/ in the root project folder)
light junco
@mellow bane I assume this mirrors the path into the packaged folder in the end or? So if the game wants the files to be in some other folder, I have to adjust that, it won't magically move them where it wants them or?
mellow bane
Uh, IIRC it just copies the file to the same place
light junco
// Copy fonts over to packaged build
string FontPath = Path.Combine(Directory.GetParent(ModuleDirectory).ToString(), "Content/Fonts/Rajdhani/");
RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(FontPath, "Font_Rajdhani_Bold.ttf"));
RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(FontPath, "Font_Rajdhani_Light.ttf"));
RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(FontPath, "Font_Rajdhani_Medium.ttf"));
RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(FontPath, "Font_Rajdhani_Regular.ttf"));
RuntimeDependencies.Add(Path.Combine(FontPath, "Font_Rajdhani_SemiBold.ttf"));
Still confused as to why UE4 needs these after I already imported them
mellow bane
Well, it doesn't really
I'm not sure what you're doing
If you need the TTFs to render text in your game then something is wrong
Or you're on like 4.1
light junco
We imported the font and that's basically it
And well set up the assets for it
The font works
mellow bane
Is it a static font, runtime font ?
light junco
but the log is spammed
I can check in a minute, booting up the project atm
[2019.08.06-08.50.33:568][ 0]LogSlate: Warning: GetFontFace failed to load or process '../../../Hoverloop/Content/Fonts/Rajdhani/Font_Rajdhani_Medium.ttf' with face index 0
[2019.08.06-08.50.33:568][ 0]LogStreaming: Warning: Failed to read file '../../../Hoverloop/Content/Fonts/Rajdhani/Font_Rajdhani_Medium.ttf' error.
This is what we get in the logs if I don't move the ttf files into the packaged folder
It's set to Runtime
With Offline being another option
And these being the font face settings
I'm by far not an expert in what I have to select here
Maybe Inline fixes it
That will embed the font data into the face
mellow bane
Which UE version is it ? This stuff changed with 4.15
And how exactly do you reference the font ?
I mean, early on you would refer to TTF files directly in code but that's not a thing anymore
light junco
Which UE version is it ?
4.22
And how exactly do you reference the font ?
Just in UMG on the TextBlocks
mellow bane
Okay. So you shouldn't need the TTF ever, in your game content or anywhere else
light junco
Right, but not sure what of all of this is wrong then
mellow bane
And you should have two font assets - one that is a representation of the TTF, and one that is what you refer to
IIRC
light junco
Left is "Font", the 5 on the right are "Font Face"s
That's inside the Font asset
mellow bane
This is weird
Taking a look here though I don't have much of a font setup
Makes little sense here
light junco
Hm, kinda is the same issue though or?
mellow bane
Yeah, but makes no sense in this context.
How do you set the text on the widget ?
Is it dynamic, etc ?
light junco
The font, by hand
The text depends on the widget
Some are dynamic some are static
mellow bane
Well I don't get it.
My gut feeling is that the TTF might be used during development, though even that is fucking weird
But it shouldn't be required during gameplay
light junco
Right, I will check if the inline setting does something
mellow bane
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/UMG/UserGuide/Fonts/HowTo/ImportingFonts/index.html makes it clear that the TTF isn't even in the content folder
IMHO it really just should have a copy of the TTF
Maybe make sure you don't have the TTF anywhere in content even in editor ?
light junco
I do have it in there, but I'm 90% sure we put it there cause of this spam in the first place
But i removed them again now
vital dune
When I package my game, I can't find the DefaultGameUserSettings.ini, no Save folder either. What am I doing wrong?
mellow bane
DefaultGameUserSettings.ini is inside the pak file after packaging
Save folder in shipping is in appdata
vital dune
Oh, thank you! But then how can I configure the DefaultGameUserSettings to start the packaged game in fullscreen at the desktop resolution? I have this right now:
DefaultGameUserSettings.ini:
[/Script/Engine.GameUserSettings]
bUseDynamicResolution=False
bUseVSync=True
WindowPosX=-1
WindowPosY=-1
bUseDesktopResolution=True
FullscreenMode=0
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0
PreferredFullscreenMode=0
Version=5
But the packaged game is starting in windowed mode 1280x720.. I have a desktop resolution of 1920x1080.
Have I to load the UserSettings when my game loads (ie GameInstance::Init )?
mellow bane
First, make sure you remove existing save data in appdata for your game
You might have launched it once before with different defaults
vital dune
Argghh @mellow bane thank you.. I thought that the Saved folder was created where the executable is... thanks

Hoping someone from epic staff might see this - i just updated 4.23 to preview 5 and the iOS binaries have disappeared from the installer completely and the editor won't even try building for iOS now. I tried verifying the engine content, no luck, and when i tried to reinstall its no longer even available (iOS is not listed under options at all). No mention of this in the forum thread about the updates for 4.23 preview. Was iOS completely disabled for this version? Is there anyway to workaround?

Hey, I'm trying to package a ue4 plugin on windows, but I keep getting the following error: "ERROR: Remote compiling requires a server name. Use the editor (Project Settings > IOS) to set up your remote compilation settings."

also tried to set up both the whitelist platform and target
I can also see this in the logs: : Building plugin for target platforms: IOS, HTML5, Win64, Win32. How can I disable IOS?

Hey all! While attempting to package a project with the Advance Steam Sessions plugin installed I ran into an issue. After some searching I found out that I need to convert my blueprint project into a c++ project by adding a c++ class/file. As a result of this my project no longer opens in editor and when I attempt to generate source files from the .uproject i get the following error: https://pastebin.com/t3Zy2wa6
pseudo garden
Changing the names of the source files generated allowed me to generate project files and successfully build within VS2019. However, I'm still unable to open the project with the actual editor as it states I'm missing a module of the project name.
wispy olive
When I package for windows, why does it package it under [game name]/WindowsNoEditor/content
distant summit
I have a blueprint project going on... I'm not using any advanced session plugins or anything. I was able to get Steam to recognize my game as "SpaceWars" with the proxyID and all the jazz but after packaging the game and trying to play (while Steam on) it doesn't recognize it anymore. Is there something small I'm missing here? Like ticking some box in the project settings? Or do I need to copy/paste some of those steam dll-files from binaries folder to the packaged project folder to make it work? Tried long and hard to search for an answer. There were some topics with the same issue I had but no answers... so now I'm here asking for help. Any ideas?
mellow bane
Is your game started from Steam ?
This is required for Shipping builds
(That, or creating a steam_appid.txt file)
distant summit
Oh ok! Thanks for these. I'll look into it.
I think I saw something about the steam_appid.txt file somewhere.
But no, I've just clicked the exe-file when running the packaged game (Shipping-Mode has been on).
mellow bane
Should not have Steam support in that case.
distant summit
Oh ok.. So is there a way my game testers can test these steam proxy achievements (etc) out without me buying an official appID and publishing a demo first? I mean.. doesn't the "development" option have all the files unpacked which kinda feels unsafe for sharing purposes?
Oh... There are some new ones. "Development Client". Maybe this is what I'm looking for for now?
mellow bane
@distant summit You would probably like the "Test" compilation mode
Works like Shipping except console, logs, and probably non-Steam support
Only trouble is, you need to build the engine from source for that.
Development doesn't have unpacked or uncooked assets, either. What it does have is a lot more tooling, and it saves data in the binary folder, so it's not suitable for release
distant summit
Oh thanks you so much for all your information.
And with the steam_appid.txt file I was able to get "SpaceWars" going with the Shipped build as well.. I just needed to place it in the [mygame]/Binaries/Win64 instead of just the root I think...
When the txt-file was in the root it did nothing. Copy/pasted the txt file to the Binaries/Win64 and tried to launch the 64 bit shipping exe-file in that folder and it worked. Then went back and now it works from the exe in the root as well.

Hi everyone, I've got some code that dynamically loads a wav file from a TTS api and it all works fine in the PIE mode, but when I package my game, Unreal gets real mad and spits out: [2019.08.12-17.51.15:047][174]LogAudio: Error: Attempt to access the DDC when there is none available on sound 'SoundWave /Script/Engine.SoundWave:SoundWave_0', format = OGG.

Anyone got any ideas for this?
Trying to cook a package we got from source control.. I'm thinking maybe the perms are weird and have something to do it with it
The plugins are in place under Engine/Plugins/Runtime, but there is no source code for it to build.
The engine itself is running fine, I just can't seem to get it to build. If it's not this plugin (by disabling it), it's another.
We have UE4 built from Source.

anybody ever get this message after running of a packaged dedicated server build? Source build (v4.22.3). As you can see, the files are in there and the warning states that the file exists, its size and that it's able to read the module.
@icy forum - I think only if you are running C++ in your project. If it's blueprint-only, I can't remember what the latest is, but I don't think you need a Mac if it's a BP-only project. However, even if you are running a mixed C++/BP or C++ project, you still don't need a Mac per-say. You can run a virtual of macOS (Mojave if current) on your Windows PC, install Xcode within the virtual macOS and setup a remote build to it. It'll essentially act like your own Mac that's on your home network.

i love this log
it has errors basicly every 5 lines
this project is so broken, it doesnt even know anymore
its missing NULL
by the sounds and file structures it looks like you imported a few MP assets
at least 3 player based onces
trees women
and guns/animations for guns
but you didnt take the time to sort it and integrate it
and somehow the references broke, which could mean that you have raw files inside content folder
or you moved files manually without fixing the refs afterwards
which is one right click and one click on the folder
fix references

So, I'm using an Unreal Engine version built from source for a blueprint-only project. For some reason this causes Unreal to recompile everything on packaging instead of just cooking, etc. Which means my plugins fail to rebuild since it seems like your can't rebuild plugins in a blueprint-only project. Any ideas how I could fix this?
fierce pebble
you can
you can generate a project file of your uproject
that will then generate an sln file
you open with vs
and compile the entire thing there by hand
then you go into ue4 and directly package
this should crete source files and binaries
then ue4 will read those
if they can actually compile.
