#

the project is full of stuff its not just that

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:33 PM

#

where is it from

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:33 PM

#

epic games store

#

or from a person that posted it on the epic wesbite not sure it was a long time ago

#

but im just trying to build it to test my server out

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

you need to remember now tho

#

what version was the project one when you started it

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

probably 4.18 but now its 4.22

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

you cant just update a code project 3 version

#

4 version

#

between 18 and 22 changed alot

#

we use vs 17 now for instance

#

13 is not working anymore

#

nor 15

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

but thats what build tools are for so you can update the project there should be no problem with packiging it just because of updating

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

not it doesnt work like that.

#

solutions we replaced

#

and need to be talked to different

#

if you didnt fix these issues then thats your problem

#

and the log clearly shows this

#

its looking for something.

#

and you cant replace it.

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

the log shows about the build tools nothing to do with my project my project has no issues what so ever

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

it has all problems

#

the logs shows you a namespace issue with the project dll.

#

you cant cook it

#

bc it cant compile

#

thats a massive issue

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

so you saying if i had a error in my game with the error log if i try to package the game it will stop it because of those small errors

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

this is not a small error.

#

if your car engine is filled with mapel syrop

#

it will just start a fire

#

and explode.

#

that happened here

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

so no way of fixing this?

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

its a c++ issue

#

a coder has to go in there and run a diagnose.

#

to see what is all broken and or missing

#

and by that version distance it could be completly useless.

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

but why would there be a issue inside of the c++ but the engine doesnt show it

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

bc its a compiler issue

#

the editor will give you this error if you press compile

#

but unless you dont.. it will just try to go ahead of built binaries.

#

which is a bit lucky

#

that they still work

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

ye so the errors that show up in UE4 when i press play then exit they are the errors that are stopping it right?

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

so

#

when did you decide that those errors arent worth mentionting?

#

how do you decide how important they are

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

i told you at the start is it the errors that show up in UE4

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

if an error shows a red border sign

#

does that look small?

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

well yes it is because they say there not reading properly but they cause no issues in my project

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

a coder has to look into this issue.

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

why do you keep saying a coder lol i was the one that modified loads in this project when i said i got this project from epic games store it doesnt mean its default there is tons of stuff inside it that are mine

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

you werent able to read this error.

#

which is not an expert level error

#

its a common error for every beginner coder

#

i recently dealt with that alot

#

and you werent able at first to tell me about the version too

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

the error said build tools error which is the build tool you download i asked a simple question is the errors in UE4 stopping it from building there is no need for you to be cocky

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

it wasnt obvious to you.

#

i am not cocky, there is nothing i can do to fix this.

#

only a coder can really.

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

i asked a question and you where cocky so yes you are

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

i am sorry if i were but the facts are in the logs.

solar plaza Aug 18, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

just stop talking i got my answer so stop being cocky ok

#

its not a fact i have been using UE4 for 3 years but i havent packaged the project before so i wasnt sure if it was the errors that where stopping it

fierce pebble Aug 18, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

i will not argue about this.

Hi guys, when I try to package I always get this error:

What does is have with this EditorStyle thing...? I tried adding the line "PrecompileForTargets = PrecompileTargetsType.Any" to "EditorWidgets.build.cs" but without any luck. And also I don't know if I did that correctly, since I don't have any programming skills.

Any advise appreciated!

For those pesky Unknown Errors, there's usually a proper error message in the log file you're pointed to (C:\Users\mzdartist\AppData\Roaming\Unreal Engine\AutomationTool\Logs\Z+UE4+UE_4.22\UBT-gloworb-Win64-Development.txt)

#

Oh, same error, so it's indeed the precompiled header thingy...

mighty ginkgo Aug 18, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

Any idea what that means? 🙂

hot iron Aug 18, 2019, 8:33 PM

#

You seem to have a module EditorWidgets that was either imported from an older engine version of doesn't use precompiled headers correctly. I remember there was a change around 4.18.

#

With 4.22, the precompiled header settings in my .Build.cs files look like this:

{
        public EditorWidgets(ReadOnlyTargetRules Target) : base(Target)
        {
                PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs;```

mighty ginkgo Aug 18, 2019, 8:37 PM

#

📎 EditorStyle.Build.cs

#

This is what it says

#

Did a fresh install of 4.22.3 today

#

Not sure in what format I would add "PrecompileForTargets = PrecompileTargetsType.Any", if its useful at all

hot iron Aug 18, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

If you use the standard precompiled header settings (put PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs; in a line before PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange), does the error message change?

#

That should under normal circumstances at least get the build going, but there may be additional compilation errors if the precompiled header is not included consistently.

@fierce pebble by the way to fix my issue all i had to do is delete 2 folders so ye not much of a issue was it lol

shut hedge Aug 19, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

Anyone know what might be the cause of this? First time packaging my game for testing and it's crashing due to this "UnknownCookFailure"

📎 unknown.png

shut hedge Aug 19, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

So after about 2 hours I went through and finally found the issue addressing one error at a time. Most didn't seem like they would impact packaging until I reached one that was from the Paragon Animations, one of the animations has an invalid curve name (no name as a matter of fact) which was the issue. Just put in a filler name and it was fixed.

Hi, I would like to only build my uproject with UAT ? I try RunUAT BuildCookRun -project="full_project_path_and_project_name.uproject" -noP4 -platform=Win64 -clientconfig=Development -serverconfig=Development -cook -allmaps -build -stage -pak -archive -archivedirectory="Output Directory" (https://wiki.unrealengine.com/How_to_package_your_game_with_commands) but it build and cook. What is the command to only build ?

crisp patrol Aug 19, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

Are the two Manifest text files that are included in the WindowsNoEditor folder when packaging necessary for a build to work fully?

#

It works fine without them but I am assuming they have some importance if they are included

open rapids Aug 19, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

I am building my game on the command line and I get errors about _BuildData missing, how can I generate these on the commandline?

#

@crisp patrol I believe those files tell you what the files belong to. I used them in the past to exclude pdbs

Hello, I am trying to build a dedicated server for steam. Now I have gone through tons of tutorials and documentation but it either just flat out doesn't work or breaks something. I can build a server but it never shows up on the steam internet server listing or the LAN server listing, I cant even just join through the IP address. I have both ports open for steam and unreal on the firewall and router. So I am little lost as to why its not working. I did see in 4.22 you have to set the UE4 Steam Macros in the Target.cs file. I did this and broke a bunch of things. I then just modified the // OnlineSessionAsyncServerSteam.cpp. I am first testing using steams default application id number 480. If anyone has time or knowledge to help would be awesome!

that can break it even more

right click your content folder

in editor CB

and then

fix up redirections

and let that run its magic.

save before

mellow bane Aug 22, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

About moving

#

Moving or renaming files in UE4 create "redirector" files

#

They're invisible in Content Browser, but fill appear as 1KB files in Explorer

#

When you rename or move, you should re-save all content so that it uses the new file

#

It is then safe to right click the Content root folder and hit "fix redirectors"

open rapids Aug 22, 2019, 12:29 PM

#

Alright Im doing that now.

#

Thanks for the help guys on that 👍

#

Is it supposed to be a very quick process? (finished in about 15 seconds for me thunk )

fierce pebble Aug 22, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

fixing the redirectors can take alot time or not

#

you will need todo it often

#

when ever you move stuff

#

or rename stuff

#

it depends

#

i usually wait for the moment when i move alot of data

#

or when an error actually appears

#

a wild error... HAHAHAHAHHA

dont do that

while the path is great

#

reading it from a harddrive causes lots of issues if not setup properly

open rapids Aug 22, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

👍 It shouldnt cause any issues writing a packaged game to the harddrive though right? (also how do I move the project to my main drive?)

fierce pebble Aug 22, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

no that is ok. But working on a project that is on a harddrive is... basicly suicide

#

this harddrive if external prolly is an ssd

#

you really want this to be somewhere where full access is granted

#

you just pick your project folder

#

copy

#

and then drop onto desktop

#

let it copy there

#

then place into local folder

#

so that the project path is nice and short again

just noticed this channel so i'll ask here too :D

does anyone know if it's possible to package in headless mode with no GUI window using the normal binary engine? the only way i can find is building dedicated servers.

potent geyser Aug 23, 2019, 1:22 PM

it's the only way I know, but why building a dedicated server is not a good fit?

Anyone here familliar with setting up Jenkins CLI for automation - regarding perforce too.... i'm having issues where its whiping out any files in the entire workspace that arent in teh perforce revision history - and i cant figure out what setting to use to get it to NOT do this.... Help please ❤

i'll manually make sure to keep it up to date as i'm on a very small dev team

silk yacht Aug 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

@potent geyser building a dedicated server is fine it's just tedious, and i'd rather use the binary engine from the launcher if possible. also the dedicated server builds launch a server that i won't be using, and can't find a way to disable it. it will be blocked by a firewall anyway, but i'd feel better if it wasn't there 😄

Hey, folks. I'm in a really tough spot here. I have a deadline in a few hours and I'm stuck on one error in the Oculus store approval. It's vibration related and it's for the Oculus Go platform (basically like Gear VR/Android). I swear I turned off all the "dynamic forced <whatnot>" and even added a line in the manifest.xml (via editor): android.permission.VIBRATE="FALSE"

I still get this one error. Is there another place to look?

This app uses permission(s) that are not compatible with this device: android.permission.VIBRATE

Any leads would be great as I feel I've exhausted the Internet! 😭

atomic sphinx Aug 24, 2019, 3:29 AM

#

I suspect the issue might be how I'm phrasing the permission and where I might be putting it, but I'm kinda shooting in the dark at this point.

#

I also just realized that I'm asking for time-sensitive help on a Friday night, so I'll just keep chugging along. 😅

Hi! I have a project that contains around 10 free Epic Paragon characters. My machine isn't that bad, packaging the same project for windows64 takes around 1-2 hours. But packaging this project for linux takes around one week. What can i do to reduce packaging time?

I'm using Unreal 4.22.3 and linux toolchain used is v13 clang-7.0.1-based

Hi. I am trying to package a project in Modular mode but I get this error:
cannot open input file 'C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.22\Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4\Development\Engine\UE4-Engine.lib'
I am using VS 2017, UE 4.22.3

#

For Modular build I added :LinkType = TargetLinkType.Modular; to my target file

#

Could anyone please end my 3-day nightmare? 🙂

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:34 AM

#

What's modular mode ?

#

Looks like UE4 shipping isn't prebuilt in that mode

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:34 AM

#

Non-monolithic

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:34 AM

#

Why do you need that ?

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

Well, it`s a product that we are working on. We need it to be built that way

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

You'll need to at least build UE4 from source

#

If that particular thing is supported

#

Which i don't know if it is

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

What does that mean? You mean I should download Unreal Engine 4 source code from git or somewhere and build it?

#

Because I have it installed

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

Yes, you need to download the source code from git, install the dependencies, and built it

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

aha! Thanks. Will try that then.

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

And maybe that will work

#

A more simpler approach is to keep your product monolithic, and put stuff in a DLL plugin if you need dynamic loading for some weird reason

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

I need the engine to be in a separate dll for that weird reason 🙂

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

You mean your game ?

#

The engine will always be the executable

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

Aha. I need the c++ classes and other stuff to be in some separate dll.

#

in my game

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

I'm guessing for LGPL purposes ?

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

We have a Unity3d Plugin that we want to build the equivalent for Unreal engine. Unfortunately I cannot explain what it does. Sorry 🙂

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

I don't give a shit what it does tbh

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

😄

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

I don't need to know either

#

What i'm saying is, there is a much simpler way to handle this, is you can afford a C interface with a DLL

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:40 AM

#

Yeah. I get what you mean.

#

What I need is, a standard/simple way of doing this that our customers would be able to do as well

#

But you are right about that easier way. Our final scenario would be: Build your game/application in this way and our plugin will work on your product

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

Your customers would be developers, correct ?

#

If that's the case, then the modular approach is a dead end

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

Yeah. Why?

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:42 AM

#

No one wants to build from UE4 source because your plugin has weird restrictions

#

Not to mention packaging the game in modular mode which might restrict optimization

#

If this is a commercial plugin for UE4 developers, it will target 10x, 50x more developers by not having these restrictions

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:44 AM

#

Maybe you are right. Sorry for being naiive, I am not familiar with UE. I`m a c++/c# developer with Unity knowledge

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 7:45 AM

#

The best approach would be to deliver regular C++ source code in your plugin that anyone can compile, or prebuilt C++ that can be packaged monolithically, but if you can't do this for licensing reasons, then you should use a DLL with a C interface, and a C++ UE4 plugin that interfaces to your DLL

#

This would keep your restricted code in a DLL even in package, without interfering with the client's product

open rapids Aug 27, 2019, 7:46 AM

#

That is 100% correct

#

Thank you so much Stranger 🙂

Hello! I have a question. There is a game made on UE. Are there any unpackers so that I can modify the game?

#

how unpack and pack files

fierce pebble Aug 27, 2019, 10:09 AM

#

we cannot answer you

#

and wont answer you

#

and you are not allowed to ask these questions either

gaunt crystal Aug 27, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

Hmm, I just wanted to modify the game, but I don’t know how to do it.

#

I know about the UE Viewer, but it can only unpack files, but not pack it back.

mellow bane Aug 27, 2019, 11:57 AM

#

People won't generally help you with this

#

if only because it's very much game-specific, and most commercial games don't use a release U4 version

#

So there's no guarantee you can rebuild a working game pak

I'm trying to ship a helper executable (that is a ue4 console program) along with my game. Right now I'm packaging the game, and then just manually copying in the executable. But the helper exe fails to run in packaged because BeginInitTextLocalization fails
this seems to be because I have no localization data in packaged, is there a way to tell helper executables to not expect localization data?
when run normally in project folder instead of packaged, it finds it via UE_ENGINE_DIRECTORY /Content/Internationalization
but in packaged that doesn't exist. If I manually copy over
Engine/Content/Internationalization/icudt53l

into my packaged Engine directory it works

#

is there a way to get that icudt53l folder to copy automatically, or prevent the need for it?

#

also, is there a way to copy the program automatically when packaging, instead of manually copying the .exe ?

jaunty mortar Aug 27, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

i have an actor that is slightly different in editor than it is in a packaged game
editor:

📎 ScreenShot00000.png

#

packaged:

📎 ScreenShot00000.png

#

this code is run on beginplay for the actor

AuraLight->SetIntensity(PowerupSettings.AuraLightSettings.Intensity);
AuraLight->SetLightColor(PowerupSettings.AuraLightSettings.LightColor);
AuraLight->SetAttenuationRadius(PowerupSettings.AuraLightSettings.AttenuationRadius);

#

and the values on that specific actor are set in its constructor since its a child of the class with the code above

#

also only the color for the actor is set to something other than default but it seems like the packaged version gets the other values wrong too

jaunty mortar Aug 28, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

ok i figured it out

#

need to manually call OnConstruction from begin play if not with editor

#

that code wasnt in OnConstruction but other related stuff was

frigid coral Aug 28, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

so I stepped through the main game executable and it finds Content/Internationalization fine without me adding it; seems to be because it is in the .pak file. Is there a way to let non-game executables read from pak files? (they seem to get mounted in PreInit under a WITH_ENGINE define, which the program won't have)

sharp sail Aug 28, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

So when I run my archviz in editor I get sharp textures, but when I package the project it gets all blurry.

Any idea what I can do about that?

Also when I build for development it just runs the exe file. But when I build for shipping my panda firewall pops up and blocks it, any idea what that is about?

Sorry I feel like my question is stupid

And simple

mellow bane Aug 28, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

I don't know what your question is really. When packaging your game for the public, you should use the packaging feature, which will generate optimized game packages players can run

#

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Basics/Projects/Packaging/index.html

Packaging Projects

Packaging Unreal game projects for distribution.

#

Doc's here.

sand urchin Aug 28, 2019, 2:52 PM

#

When you apply for mega grant is asks for project build! I don’t know what that exactly means

mellow bane Aug 28, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

In that context, it means an archive of your packaged project

sand urchin Aug 28, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

Okay

mellow bane Aug 28, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

Not your project sources, but a shipping version

sand urchin Aug 28, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

So zip it up? Into one project

mellow bane Aug 28, 2019, 2:53 PM

#

No ?

#

A "build" means a playable version

#

UE4 projects are not playable

#

Projects require installing the engine used for that project, starting the project, waiting half an hour for shaders to build

#

When asked for a build, it means the stuff you ship to your players.

#

Read the doc I just linked if that's unclear.

sand urchin Aug 28, 2019, 2:55 PM

#

It’s clear but I will read it ! And I appreciate it, can I message you if I have any questions ?

I have a plugin that requires a .dll included in the files. If i package it with the .dll in it's expected plugin folder, the main game .exe won't start, saying it cant find it. If i move the .dll to the main bin folder of the packaged project, the .exe starts fine until the plugin looks for the .dll and raises an assertion because it cant find it. It works if i put it in both places at the same time.

Is there a way to indicate to the .exe that it can look for the .dll in the plugin's binary folder, so i dont have to deal with including the .dll in more than one place? Or remove the .exe's "need" to find the .dll since it's just the plugin that needs it anyways?

severe hare Aug 29, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

good question

#

I would also like to know the answer too this

marsh chasm Aug 30, 2019, 3:14 AM

#

do you delay load your dlls ? @slow shell

#

i think that would fix the problem with exe needing dll on startup, you will have to load the dll yourself, possibly on module startup blobThink

#

but as long as you load before using functions from it, you should be able to load anywhere

slow shell Aug 30, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

Im pretty sure the plugin is loading it after startup separately than anything the .exe does already, its looking in a different path and everything. In which case how would i specify that it's delay loaded/ prevent the exe from loading it?

#

thanks, that was enough of a lead to find out that i need to add

  // Delay-load the DLL.
                  PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add("ThirdParty_SDK.dll");

to the build.cs

#

will give it a shot

marsh chasm Aug 30, 2019, 3:49 AM

#

yeah, that's how you do it

#

by the way, you can dump dlls your exe depends on and see if it worked

#

you will get something like this

#

but if it runs with no errors then it probably worked out blobThink

slow shell Aug 30, 2019, 4:00 AM

#

For future reference, how would you dump that list of dll dependencies like that?

dumpbin.exe YourExe.exe /DEPENDENTS

dumpbin is located in vs directory

UAT Packaging tip:
"-archive" is OPTIONAL and only creates a copy of your game.
"-stage" is already where your game gets packaged and ready for delivery.

Use like this:
-stage -stagingdirectory="your/output/directory"

Most online examples don't tell you this. Most people are doing one extra step of needlessly copying the whole game to another folder 😕

You'll effectively have 4 versions/copies of the game files:

Original assets.
Cooked assets in Saved folder.
Staged assets in Stage folder.
Archived assets in Archive folder. <-- Optional and should be removed if you don't need an extra copy of your game.

I think I've found the cause, it seems game-play tags aren't functioning in the packaged build and hence there's some loops that iterate many millions of times in the ai before terminating, not quite sure why game-play tags aren't working but I'll keep investigating

Does anybody know what the optional paks are when packaging a project into multiple chunks? They are named something along the lines of pakchunk0optional-WindowsNoEditor.pak and contain .uptnl files. I can barely find any info on that. Apparently that was added in 4.20 and is marked as BULKDATA_OptionalPayload in the engine. That's pretty much all I could find out. I don't know why they are generated and why the specific content gets put there. Is it safe to delete them? Can the generation of the optional chunks be turned off? Most of the time in our project it's just one or two textures per optional chunk.

Hello! I've got a VR project with a custom VR pawn (for custom hardware). I have problems with the packaged game.
I have a custom Game Mode set to spawn the correct Pawn, and the same Game Mode in the World Settings Override.
My game has a PlayerStart set to receive input from Player 0.
Everything works fine in the Editor; my VR HMD spawns correctly and I am able to see my VR gloves correctly tracked.
However, in packaged application; it spawns a HMD controlled camera, no spawned VR gloves, and I can move with WASD and mouse....

Why isnt my VR pawn spawning correctly in the packaged game?

fluid pier Oct 5, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Am I spawning a Spectator instead? if so, why is that controlled by my HMD? Does anyone have any idea what may be happening?

#

How can I know if Im spawning a Spectator and not my specified pawn?

fluid pier Oct 5, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

My custom VR pawn is placed in files as a Plugin. Is that the reason? Do I need to do something specific to include these in the packaged application?

fluid pier Oct 5, 2019, 6:01 PM

So... how would one go about packaging a Plugin (content&c++, placed in Project/Plugins) with the game? I am a bit of a noob at this

Looks like you are defining stuff in the header and it is being included in multiple .cpp files so they all have their own instance and the names are conflicting.

#

I deleted the plugin making this error, and restarted my engine. I wasnt using this one anyway, so its all good

#

The previous error I had, packaged game not recognising my plugin, was due to "Installed:" being set to 'false' rather than 'true' in the .uplugin file. I wasnt aware that was a thing

If anyone gets a problem packaging make a new project and migrate maps to it and re set up project settings and with luck you should have no problems

Seems clear enough, why are you trying to do incremental build ?

If you need it, then it has to be a named version based on a previous named version

(you probably don't need it)

Which platform are you shipping for ?

gentle orbit Oct 9, 2019, 9:53 AM

I meant the distributor

gentle orbit Oct 9, 2019, 9:53 AM

steam

mellow bane Oct 9, 2019, 9:53 AM

Then you don't need to handle patching

Steam does it

(every PC distributor does)

Checking back in. Anyone have experience packaging videos into DLC, like this? Know how it can be done? https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/748779/add-videomedia-files-to-dlc-package.html

mellow bane Oct 9, 2019, 12:58 PM

#

@limpid socket I don't believe this is possible

#

The DLC system only applies to the (pak) content system

#

Video files aren't part of the pak file, though

limpid socket Oct 9, 2019, 1:05 PM

#

@mellow bane So if I want to include videos as DLC, will I have to pull them to local storage as part of the install process? Is there a folder that it's best to use?

mellow bane Oct 9, 2019, 1:05 PM

#

No idea, I don't work on mobile

#

I'd just keep the video in the main package

limpid socket Oct 9, 2019, 1:07 PM

#

@mellow bane Unfortunately can't keep all of my video in the main package because my application needs to be a scalable video app, so the video will either have to be streamed (not preferred for my application due to network availability) or will have to be downloaded after the fact.

#

It'd be impossible for me to keep all of my video in the main package at scale.

mellow bane Oct 9, 2019, 1:09 PM

#

DLC used the way you wanted would work the same though ? Each DLC installed would stay there

#

I'd look into something like local storage, yes

limpid socket Oct 9, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

Right, the installed DLC would be on disk when it is installed, and not on disk when not installed. What I want is the video files for a given DLC module to only be on disk when the DLC is installed, and not before.

mellow bane Oct 9, 2019, 7:09 PM

You need to remove DLC assets

Or make sure not to bake them if that's available in the profile settings

limpid socket Oct 9, 2019, 8:23 PM

Yeah, @mellow bane doesn't seem to be working. I removed both of the plugins when packaging the base app, but whenever I try to package the DLC I still get the same error whether I reenable the plugins or not

Anyone know of a good solution to blueprint compiler errors from a plugin not included for a particular platform? For example, an Oculus specific Verify Entitlement node that breaks when I remove the oculus plugin.

limpid socket Oct 10, 2019, 1:09 AM

@thick heart Not sure if there is an easy way around this in BP, but if you're going to be doing platform specific stuff I'd recommend just doing it in C++. Saves a lot of headache in the long run if it's something you can do.

Hiya, I'm new to the discord!
Doing packaging for the first time, trying to build for VR, but the pawn never responds. Google told me to: play it with "-vr" in the shortcut, set "play in VR" in project settings, set the pawn to autopossess player 0, enabling stereo on and hmd in blueprint...also tried to launch the exe with and without steamVR on in case that helped. Tried all those things, it's still not working so I wonder if I actually set up my pawn wrong from the get go?

I've been modifying the motioncontroller stuff from the example scene in the VR project. In the beginning I just placed my pawn in the scene, I have since tried to add the pawn in world settings too but nothing seems to stick. Any ideas on how to start debugging this?

spark dove Oct 10, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

@boreal epoch have you tried just testing your VR hardware with the VR template from UE4 first? If that works then I would continue working on the project

boreal epoch Oct 10, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

it works in engine but not in packaging. you think I should just try and package the regular VR example project?

#

my current project is built on that tho

#

thanks for the quick response @spark dove :D

spark dove Oct 10, 2019, 4:52 PM

#

Yea I always try that first and then build from it like you do. Just so you can narrow it down to see what the problem might be. “Start in VR” is essentially the same as adding -vr behind the shortcut path of the exe.

boreal epoch Oct 11, 2019, 1:15 AM

boreal epoch Oct 11, 2019, 3:21 AM

#

everything works except things I package with UE :(

#

VR preview in UE works fine too

#

oh, forgot to mention..I've actually packaged and deployed the project just fine on the oculus quest, so it's a windows specific problem. that detail seems pertinent :P

#

that's why I didn't think I had to do anything with the pawn, as my setup worked just fine on that other platform :/ maybe I'm actually missing some kind of component when it comes to packaging for windows? shouldn't the log have notified me if that was the case?

boreal epoch Oct 11, 2019, 10:51 AM

#

"LogHMD: The app went out of VR focus, seizing rendering..." I found this in the log, that sure looks like a smoking gun? no idea what to do about it though..

#

...oh shit

#

oh my god, it's not even the first time I make this mistake either

#

for next time: PUT THE BLOODY HMD ON YOUR HEAD

#

I'm way too used to testing with steamVR apps where just moving the headset with your hand works, so I do this as second nature, and I keep forgetting that unreal specifically doesn't work like this

#

okay, so another dumb question: my project is pretty small but the pak file is 2GB. is it packaging everything in the content folder or something? how can I get it to only package the stuff relevant to the one level I wanna build?

#

@boreal epoch it does that so you don’t need to “install” a game. You can literally run it from an external drive. You can also just put your finger above the sensor to test oculus in UE4

boreal epoch Oct 12, 2019, 3:56 AM

#

mm I get why it does it, I just have to package for UE so rarely that I keep forgetting that it does it, and since everything actually works it takes ages to figure out what's wrong. every time! :P

#

but all is well that ends well, was able to send a prototype to the person who had requested it and they liked it :D

#

this is also the funniest "bug" to google as the first time I encountered it it baffled two of us for an entire morning and several threads reported that they had "solved it" but never detailed how. Then we had a good laugh because we realized they were embarrassed about the solution being "put the dumb thing on your head"

I have a project that I need some friends to quickly update as I make changes for testing. Using a pak file doesn't really work since it's a large file, so even minor changes require a long upload/download time. Disabling pak file fixes this, however then the project is built in such a way so that anyone can easily take the .uassets into their own project, and when I start bringing in others who aren't friends to test this would be a problem. Would 'pak chunks' be a suitable solution?

#

And how easy would it be for someone to view my assets when using pak files? I've seen comment saying encryption is possible but I haven't seen that option

SupportsAutoRegistration is editor only @jaunty mortar

how am i getting the errors then? i havent changed any engine code related to that

#

also the engine itself will compile under development, just not my project solution

which isnt using anything thats giving me errors

marsh chasm Oct 16, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

are you sure you didn't include that module ? blobThink

#

or a file ?

#

if you are not compiling from source, SettingsEditorModule should not be compiling at all

#

so it's pretty weird, maybe you included .cpp file somewhere as a mistake

jaunty mortar Oct 16, 2019, 1:27 AM

#

that reminded me that i added a plugin dependency in my build file

removing that seems to fix the issue

Hey guys i'm working on a project with a huge amount of meshes and assets, i already distribute them to different pak files, at least 30. Would it make sense to chunk them further ? My loading times are pretty long, 20-30 seconds for every 2 paks.

mellow bane Oct 16, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

Number of pak shouldn't affect loading

#

Except making it slower

reef nova Oct 16, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

yeah the number is more for efficiently distributing them, since they are not all needed every time for different clients. So from your response i can also assume it relates more to the contents ? They are heavy indeed.

mellow bane Oct 16, 2019, 2:06 PM

Depends on the content, but on PC you're probably mostly looking at disk bandwidth

What's the current best practice for Demo Packaging? (using 4.23)

In a previous release, I had a branch just for demo, and basically only had the maps that needed to be in the demo packaged out.

With this release though, I have no separate branches (just mainline). Other than simply deleting the maps in the List of Maps to include in a package build (which honestly, I don't want to constantly be doing, as right now I plan on having somewhere around 25 additional levels past the demo), is there some option I am missing that can exclude maps after the fact (after being added to the LOMTIIAPB list)

Some options I have been thinking about:

is having a separate DefaultGame.ini file just for demo (that only has the maps to cook)
quickly just deleting the deleting the map list in editor or .ini and reverting after demo is built
doing the demo branch (which honestly, I don't want to remember to maintain, and the only thing that would ever pertinent/constant diff between the two would be the map list)

Option 2 is probably the easiest of them all, a simple revert after the fact and I'll probably be using this, but I almost feel like there's some option I missing out somewhere but can't find.

Arigato for your thoughts.

@languid brook Unfortunately not. It seems some stuff changed after 4.18 and I don't know the new process for properly packaging a full plugin as DLC. I'm still investigating getting .paks with UnrealPak to mount properly.

languid brook Oct 21, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

okay I'm working on it too, I'll share if I find something

limpid socket Oct 21, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

same.

limpid socket Oct 21, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

@languid brook If I check include engine content on my DLC the issue goes away... which is not super desirable, since I don't think I have anything in my DLC that should require engine content, though maybe I'm wrong

#

I'm also confused because when packaging I'm getting an .apk and can't find the DLC .pak that I need.

languid brook Oct 21, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

did you check "store all contents in a single file" in the project launcher?

limpid socket Oct 21, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

Yeah, I've found the .pak but it's buried inside the content of another build.

languid brook Oct 21, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

it should be sufficient to copy it next to the pack of your original build, like a patch

limpid socket Oct 21, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

@languid brook I'm on oculus quest. I can't seem to find the .pak of my original build; any idea where that's stored by any chance?

I'm getting this error in a packaged build, everything runs fine in editor, and packaging is successful.

#

it looks like DXGI is causing the error, but my project isn't using anything GI related

mellow bane Oct 22, 2019, 5:19 PM

#

This is just a generic DirectX error

dusky rampart Oct 22, 2019, 5:32 PM

I just resolved it by removing my code to start the game in fullscreen.

mellow bane Oct 22, 2019, 5:36 PM

Ah

#

4.23 source build ?

#

It's a known bug

dusky rampart Oct 22, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

4.23.1 non source build

I had written a blueprint script to start in fullscreen, removing that fixed the first issue of it booting up, but now it's crashing when I load other levels. hopefully 4.23.2 comes out tomorrow or something

mellow bane Oct 22, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

lmao, did they break 4.23

.0 binary didn't have this problem

@dusky rampart Getting that same DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL crash on startup after upgrading to 4.23.1 binary

#

Only on the packaged game, works fine in PIE

dusky rampart Oct 23, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

@marble burrow I fixed it by making my game start in windowed mode,

it happens when windows are resized too

marble burrow Oct 23, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

Thanks will use that workaround for now! Seems like a high priority fix, will have a look to see if it's already reported on issues

#

Looks potentially related to this: https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-81742

Previously only affecting source builds

https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/1b37202f41a9064659d7a26f1c13a491489c5ed5

this might fix it?

Nice looks promising. I'll still send in a report in case it is only thought to happen on the source build.

hmm

#

how do i do that?

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

It's generated when you build your game.

#

Mod support is nigh impossible in UE4, so I'm just saying, I spent four months getting it to work

#

And it required the same project

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

it works for me rn

Great

#

Well, AFAIK you can't

No idea how other people do it if they do it

well how did davevillz do it with pavlov

#

yeah

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

Ask them

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

i did

#

hes a busy dude

#

i think that definition data asset is used to load in the map by name

#

you dont package the plugin, you package the project

#

and since the asset has a reference to a plugin asset, the plugin packages too

#

then when you need to load in the map, just read from the data asset and open the level

#

or thats what i think is happening...

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

Okay but this isn't your problem

Getting your user to be able to build DLC against your project is the problem

Because it's not how you're supposed to do it

how are you supposed to do it?

well its not dlc, its a custom map[

As far as UE4 is concerned, mods are DLC

yes

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

Nothing more

So make a DLC

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:54 PM

yes ik i did

its incompatible with different projects

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:54 PM

Yes

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

i need ppl to be able to make their own dlc

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

Because you only do DLC from the same project

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

what do i do then????

#

i need to reverse engineer the pavlov thing

#

but the plugin is cooked and i cant read it ):

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:54 PM

You release your full project to everyone along with latest release

That's how

i kinda dont want to....

Like I said : UE4 modding is a nightmare

yeah ik for like ark and robo recall

#

BUT HOW DID PAVLOV DO IT WITHOUT EXPOSING SOURCE CODE

#

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

By only releasing compiled binaries ? I guess ?

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:55 PM

HMMM

#

how do i do that

#

compiled binaries

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:56 PM

If you're asking this you're not ready for mod support

#

yes ik what that is

#

how do i compile binaries

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

If you have source code you know how

#

If you don't, you don't have source code to expose

#

So ....

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

i do have source code

#

all the pak mounting and workshop item creating and leader boards and stuff

mellow bane Oct 23, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

You can't have source code and not know how to compile

#

It's literally not possible

brazen dagger Oct 23, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

i know how to compile

#

just build

#

run whatever

if i upload my project, all the source code will be seen

Pretty much all single player UE4 games just do that, I think consumers are pretty used to it

According to this forum post: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/55714/why-does-a-packaged-game-want-a-firewall-exception.html

Building with the Shipping Config instead of the Development Config should remove that Firewall prompt. Are you building in Development Config?

Yup development for now, I'm going to try the Shipping! Great info @tired storm , thanks!

You probably still have the game running, that's windows saying it can't write the executable

or possibly something like a permission/out of space issue

Since it caches materials

What does that mean

so

#

when you package up your game the first time, it will cache the materials you compiled, and use those next time you package

as long as they werent changed / edited

as stranger pointed out, you should look at the ones that gave you warnings because they will not look right on your game on your device

The filepath (where your project is) is too long for the game to be packaged up, so you have to either move the project / shorten the path

so for example putting the project right in C:\

Depends on your settings

vital narwhal Oct 30, 2019, 3:12 PM

If you list at least one map it'll only cook things referenced by the map + always loaded/asset manager stuff

#

if you list nothing it cooks everything, which is basically never what you want, or you can enable that flag manually
