i get an error : Replicated TArray parameters cannot be passed by non-const reference when packaging with nativized assets

split fox Oct 30, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

does the error give you a clue to which assets?

austere pivot Oct 31, 2019, 8:53 AM

#

Does anyone here know how to use UnrealPak Tool ?

#

Im looking to create AssetPacks for Unreal similar to the startercontent in Feature Packs, I was able to extract StartContent.upack and placed and edited my files according to how it is set up, im not able to create a new .upack with it

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

has anyone figured out a decent strategy for building for the same platform but different storefronts (ie. using a different OSS)?

mellow bane Oct 31, 2019, 4:11 PM

#

Branches ?

#

You'll need to build twice, I think

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 4:54 PM

#

i suppose that could be automated, really wish they made it easier though

#

since you might have to make store-specific changes to Build.cs and Target.cs files as well as INI files

split fox Oct 31, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

which platforms?

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

i think i saw a question about it on UDN soon after EGS was announced but nothing useful in it

#

steam, EGS, GOG

split fox Oct 31, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

so still a PC game ? not mobile or console?

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

well it'll be console too but this isn't about managing OS/hardware platforms, it's about PC store platforms

split fox Oct 31, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

ah I see

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

where you're making multiple builds for the same OS but different stores

split fox Oct 31, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

different branches is your best I think

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

will have to think of some automation pipeline for it when we get to it then. right now we make release streams for a single store platform (steam)

mellow bane Oct 31, 2019, 5:14 PM

#

I don't know about EOS since I don't have access to their private SDK for the titles actually shipping on it

#

For Steam and GOG, I'm pretty sure branches are the way to go

#

Though it's possible that you may be able to switch OSS at runtime

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

yeah but even then you might be using defines in the code in addition to INI changes

mellow bane Oct 31, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

We didn't need that

#

At least for GOG, all required backend-specific stuff could be dynamic

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

only thing annoying about GOG is that their OSS doesn't support linux, even for servers

mellow bane Oct 31, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

Yes, because they don't have Galaxy on Linux which is what they connect to IIRC

winged moss Oct 31, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

yeah but for doing game server auth without a client? c'mon

mellow bane Oct 31, 2019, 5:33 PM

anyone know how to look at crashes in VS when your project is a blueprint only project?
I need to review this crash, when the packaged game starts it crashes.

@stiff rover Looks like you enabled nativization ?

stiff rover Nov 1, 2019, 4:12 PM

#

Yeah, should I not? I didnt figure that would be the cause

#

i figured it just adds that in the file path

mellow bane Nov 1, 2019, 4:12 PM

#

Nativization = Blueprint translated to C++ and compiled as regular C++ classes

#

It's quite unstable

hrm ive never had issues with it before, but i shall do a package with it turned off, ty

Hello, does anybody know any resources on packaging for lower end PCs? I've read that Disc Jam achieved it, and I'm looking into them. I'm aiming to package and install on an integrated graphics PC

#

The game will not have many 3D elements, actually

polar siren Nov 2, 2019, 12:43 PM

#

So I see in Project Settings - Packaging, you can specifically include directories to cook, but is there a way to specify specific assets to cook?

mellow bane Nov 2, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

Not that I know of

#

Just use the asset

golden cape Nov 2, 2019, 3:19 PM

#

Move the unneeded files to another directory, don't include the new directory in packaging

wind fiber Nov 3, 2019, 9:52 AM

#

there is -fileopenlog to dump which files were loaded from pak file in which order, is there something similar that also dumps which dependency is responsible for each load?

#

the reference viewer is very clumsy for figuring out what path of references might be responsible for an unnecessary amount of stuff being loaded before the main menu

If discord manifest was programmed to run the TwilightStarHE.exe and it was a shipping build....
could that cause issues.
because after looking at this, i just now realize that a shipping build makes a whole new .exe file
and it cooks that EXE, not the normal one.
er does it not really matter as the .exe inside the WindowsNoEditor is what points to the correct one

How do I package a game made for VR? If I use the VR template and set the gamemode to use the MotionControllerPawn, shouldn't I be able to start the built executable in VRmode by default?

is this where I should ask about compiling on specific platforms?

eager brook Nov 5, 2019, 4:55 PM

My packaged project (dev build) is not running. It just doesn't do anything after opening the .exe.
This only happens to projects that use the AdvancedSessions plugin. Why does this happen and how can I fix it

mellow bane Nov 5, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

Did you set up the game for Steam or something

eager brook Nov 5, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

yes I did
i ticked "Advanced Steam Sessions"

mellow bane Nov 5, 2019, 5:06 PM

#

There is a shit load more of work to get Steam running

eager brook Nov 5, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

Oh you meant actually building the code to make it work

Actually is that the problem
because of ticking the Advanced Steam Sessions and not actually using it to build code

Hello, I want to know if there's a ddifferent proccess of packaging a project between different Android versions. I runned a game in my android 8 and it worked perfectly, but my friend tested on Android 5 and it was terrible, lost textures and 6fps..

#

I mean, what should I consider when packaging my game for older android versions..

split fox Nov 5, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

what phones are you using for testing @livid ore

eager brook Nov 5, 2019, 10:17 PM

#

Hi, after using Advanced Steam Sessions plugin and packaging and running the game, using Shift+Tab doesn't bring up the Steam Interface. Is this normal?

mellow bane Nov 5, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

Shift tab is entirely unrelated to that plugin

#

You need to start the game from Steam or add an appid.txt file

vital narwhal Nov 5, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

You should set up steam to launch your dev executable as an extermal game, then things should work

livid ore Nov 6, 2019, 12:00 AM

@split fox i have a galaxy a8 and my friend has a gran prime duos

@livid ore So I believe you have those set wrong for what version you're trying to to test for your friend https://source.android.com/setup/start/build-numbers you can find the corresponding API level to the android version here, as well, your friends phone is weaker than your own, so it will not neccesarily be able to run the same

Actually i ve created a custom .ini file, but when packaging the file is no more there which make my app unusable, is there a way to include it with the package ?

vital narwhal Nov 7, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

@past hull yes, and it should warn you in the log and tell you how to fix it, check the output log from packaging and look right after cook

past hull Nov 7, 2019, 3:17 PM

#

@vital narwhal Actually it was my fault, i used to place my *.ini under MyProject/Saved/Config, which wasn't the appropriate place, i moved it to MyProject/Config and whitelisted it as mentionned in the log
Now it works

No, not at all, I've search for exe, but it's not appearing.
Maybe it's because this project is a cloned project that I've renamed? so it became messed up.

Hey people, I'm trying to build my game for Shipping but keep getting errors about it unable to find shader cache, followed by a crash. I've tried packaging in editor and building in Visual Studio with both configurations set to Shipping x64. I've searched all over google but no solution seems to work. (Tried unchecking Use Pak, setting default maps to cook, building lighting etc). Feel like I'm missing something but don't know where to go from here

Also development build works fine

Instead of manually unpacking and repacking the files, you can just enable the Exclude Editor Content When Cooking and Create Compressed Cooked Packages settings in your packaging settings

if i'm compiling the engine from source, when i do a -clean on my packaging, should it be rebuilding the entire engine every time? making these CD builds take forever

mellow bane Nov 12, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

That's what "clean" does

silk depot Nov 12, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

sure, but you'd figure it would clean your projects code, not the entire engine

mellow bane Nov 12, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

You don't need to do it, though personally I'd go for complete full rebuild on CD

#

For shipping builds, i'm pretty sure you can't clean only the project

silk depot Nov 12, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

i see

mellow bane Nov 12, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

Since well, the entire thing gets compiled into a single executable

#

Engine & game

silk depot Nov 12, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

thought it took advantage of modules?

#

or is that only for non-shipped builds?

mellow bane Nov 12, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

My understanding is that shipping merges everything so clean affects both, but I'm not even sure clean in development doesn't do the same thing

#

hmm kk, guess i'll live with the build times. not like it's a big deal really

IIRC you can do your own binary engine too

I have a packaged project that runs great in the editor. However, when I do a packaged build, with nothing at all in the level I end up and 20 fps. if I run 'stat SceneRendering', it shows that "RenderQuery Result" is taking 46ms. The PIE runs at 60fps. If I run the same command, it shows far less info. Do you have any idea how I solve this?

grave hinge Nov 24, 2019, 3:32 AM

#

check output log of running game maybe it is logging errors for you thats why it slow

#

other than that check stat rhi and stat raw charts they give you drawcall, and frame data of different threads. lastly there is stat startfile/stopfile commands and analise the captured data with frontend tool

harsh meteor Nov 24, 2019, 3:40 AM

#

Thanks for the info! I'll give that a look and hope that I find something.

harsh meteor Nov 24, 2019, 5:53 AM

#

I'm not sure what the issue is but both my PCs run the shooter project package build at 20 fps when in full screen and "RenderQuery Result" is the cause. If I pull out of full screen into windowed mode, it's 60fps on both machines and "RenderQuery Result" doesn't even show up on the graph.

#

Possible engine bug?

UAT is definitely what you want here.

#

We've used Python scripts here to build new versions

#

(and upload to Steam etc)

mellow bane Nov 24, 2019, 1:38 PM

#

graceful fable Nov 24, 2019, 1:40 PM

#

I see. Thanks, @@mellow bane. I'm kind of surprised nothing like an external API exists for RunUAT, the closets I could find is BuildGraph, but I really don't want to invest in another complex proprietary building system

mellow bane Nov 24, 2019, 1:41 PM

#

Mostly UAT builds a full deployable package for your game with little inputs, and little additional work to do

#

The Python script I use now gets the latets Git tag to tell UAT how to name the version for example

graceful fable Nov 24, 2019, 1:42 PM

#

That's good to know. Does anyone know if you can cross compile to Windows from Linux?

mellow bane Nov 24, 2019, 1:43 PM

#

Yes, you can

#

That's actually the only supported way to build for Linux

#

Sorry, I misread your first comment

#

You build Linux from Windows, and Windows from Windows, can't build Windows from Linux

#

It is, using Windows

#

You need Windows to build for Linux too

#

MacOS requires a Mac running Mac OS (and additional paid certification for releasing the game on Steam)

#

So you need specific software, hardware and licensing

#

I mean the new software certification thing that gets your executable signed

#

Can't install games on latest OS without that, and Steam now mandates it.

#

http://www.zarkonnen.com/signing_notarizing_catalina

Signing and Notarizing for Catalina

Introduction
With the newest version of macOS, Apple has made mandatory some requirements for applications that were previously recommended: 64-bit executables, signing, and notarization. Applications that don't satisfy these requirements will no longer run.
This is intended ...

#

Generally speaking, Apple makes it very hard to do games for a small audiance of non-games who run obsolete gaming hardware so personally I don't bother

#

Yes I also have Steam Pipe running through Python scripts

#

You can search through the Helium Rain repo I linked earlier

#

Yup

mellow bane Nov 25, 2019, 1:35 PM

#

It's an option

#

Either an UAT one or a packaging setting

#

You can also remove the manually, or ship them if you want call stacks from crash reports

mellow bane Nov 25, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

Well you need the PDBs

#

How else are you going to debug your game when crash reports come in ?

#

But you're right, they don't need to be copied to the final directory and can remain in staging for your script to pick them up

#

Can't find the "no PDb" option so I guess I dreamt that one up, anyway

graceful fable Nov 25, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

ok, thanks @mellow bane

mellow bane Nov 25, 2019, 2:05 PM

But really, keep the PDB

Maybe not on your client's machines but for yourself

Hey, I'm using an external library (Fmod). Everything works perfect while in editor etc but when I run the game after packaging it with a development build it crashes and the only thing it says is "Fatal Crash". Anyone knows what might be the problem?

minor iron Nov 28, 2019, 3:19 AM

#

Gonna need more info than that.

thorn oriole Nov 28, 2019, 8:52 AM

#

I'm not sure how to get more info, theres nothing not even in the crash logs of the app.

#

The basic gist of it is I use fmod to play a song at the start of the level. Looking into the crash logs I can see that the level is initialized correctly and play begins but then it simply crashes with a fatal crash, no error no nothing. My feeling is that I'm not packaging the external fmod libraries correctly

#

The way I use them I have an extra folder in my project folder,

📎 unknown.png

#

and inside I have a bunch of header files for includes and the actual libraries in a separate folder inside

#

this is my build.cs of the project

#

📎 unknown.png

#

I'm not sure if I'm doing everything I should be doing in order to package the app along with the fmod libraries in that folder and thats why it might crash

#

and since I've set the fmod song to play at the start of the level and the last thing correctly initialized before the crash is the level I'm guessing its the fmod libraries missing and thats why it crashes

#

The songs are being played from outside the app, in a separate folder inside Content I have a few songs, now I've set the folder itself to be included in the packaging process as a non-asset folder but in my code I reference the song to be played by a clear path "Content/NonAssets/SongName.mp3", might this be the problem?

#

Ok so I narrowed it down to this, basically my code isn't copying the dll from the thirdparty folder to the binaries folder in the packaged game.

#

Right now, the cod ein the build.cs file copies the dll correctly to the binaries folder while in editor mode, but for some reason it fails to do so after the game is packaged and run.

Hi there,
my team typically uses two build configurations: shipping and development. While in development we do not want any fps cap so as to coarsely detect if a new feature is slowing down the game. However, when the game is shipped the fps cap should be used in order not to consume all the gpu. I can enable and disable the cap from DefaultEngine.ini but it is a global setting. Is there a way to change the settings based on the build configuration? Thanks

Thank you @graceful fable that's actually how I ended up implementing it. I was hoping there was a way to do that only using config files without having to handle special cases in code.

Hello, I've just joined! I'm getting a packaging warning and its the only one I have left before there are no errors anymore. I've tried googling the warning but I can't seem to find any answers anywhere, I'm getting these errors in my packaging, but my game does not contain any vehicles and I haven't specified any vehicle related things.

Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

rancid mountain Dec 5, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

@formal thorn Yeah, beg Epic to fix it

#

Submit a bug report

#

the more they get, the more visibility it'll get

formal thorn Dec 5, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Oh, so its a known bug?

rancid mountain Dec 5, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Well

#

"bug" is a loose term

#

But sure 😉

formal thorn Dec 5, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

Ah, I thought it was a setting I was missing or something in the project settings

rancid mountain Dec 5, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

You can get "phantom" warnings for various reasons

#

Mostly due to disabling plugins

#

But other stuff like if you exempt editor content, but actually use it, those are real

formal thorn Dec 5, 2019, 8:59 PM

#

I see

Thanks!

Update your Visual Studio

#

It says so right there in the log

wild lagoon Dec 6, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

yes but to test if it was the studio i also packaged another project and it whent through fine

mellow bane Dec 6, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

Okay, but you still need to update

wild lagoon Dec 6, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

alright

#

any other problems in the log anyone can find

mellow bane Dec 6, 2019, 9:12 PM

#

No other problem in that log. Compilation just failed.

mellow bane Dec 6, 2019, 9:14 PM

So what's the log after updating Visual Studio ?

wild lagoon Dec 6, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

updating now

#

📎 3869cab161906235b7281a085b247630.png

#

updated it

mellow bane Dec 6, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

Which version is it now ?

wild lagoon Dec 6, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

2019

mellow bane Dec 6, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

Okay, so

#

If you want to move to 2019, then do that

#

If you have 2017 installed, that's the default

#

And you have an old, broken 2017

#

So right now it keeps using that

#

You need to update 2017 and remove 2019, or remove 2017 and make sure to set your project to 2019

wild lagoon Dec 6, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

how do you set ut

mellow bane Dec 6, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Start by deciding which one you want to keep

#

Easiest way right now is top just update 2017

#

Just do that and everything will work

wild lagoon Dec 6, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

ok updated 17 and uninstalled 19

Pretty much exactly what I expected !

#

You probably have a lot of static lighting data.

lean vigil Dec 8, 2019, 3:06 PM

#

what should i do to reduce 😦

#

i did del some lighting

mellow bane Dec 8, 2019, 3:06 PM

#

Make sure you didn't do something stupid like disabling lightmap compression

#

And, well, you're going to need using the lightmap density visualization, find objects that have too dense lightmaps, reduce their resolution.

#

On average, you need a minimum 2x less resolution (4x smaller file) on every asset

lean vigil Dec 8, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

ok great

#

thanks

mellow bane Dec 8, 2019, 3:08 PM

#

The compression one is fun, I found some marketplace levels that used it

#

Instant x5 level size for little gain

tight galleon Dec 9, 2019, 8:05 PM

#

Seems like there's a command-line parameter -buildmachine that will enable lots of stuff:
• No max number of warnings / errors reported in output (or -dumpallwarnings flag).
• Very detailed cook timing statistics (or -LogCookStats flag) saved to a csv file. Also will send cook analytics to a custom server if APIServer is set in [CookAnalytics] section of Engine ini (or -SendCookAnalytics flag).
• Skips checking if plugins are missing or out of date.
• Doesn't launch crash reporting processes.
• Logs shader compiler errors.
• Disables some dialogs opening during build.

Sounds very useful!

@olive flint What do you want exactly ? UE4 creates an installed package that you can distribute on every digital store

olive flint Dec 13, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

I won't be distributing through any stores. It's for internal use. I want to point people to an .exe that they can download. I know I could just zip up WindowNoEditor, but I'd like to give something a little nicer.

@unborn spear DeprecatedGearVRControllerComponent's constructor is trying to call LoadObject and passing in something bad. LoadObject is not safe to call from constructors at all.

I'm having a cooking issue that I'm having trouble figuring out. The engine cooks engine assets, then I get a "LogOutputDevice Warning:" in the log that's blank, and a blank "Script Stack Trace" below that. Then I get a massive UAT error with a stacktrace. Nothing seems to tell me exactly what went wrong.

#

Figured it was some plugin or an unused blueprint that has a compile error in it but I went through the entire content of my game and deleted all unused BPs and made sure anything that is used compiles correctly. I also disabled every unreal plugin but vscode integration.

#

It doesn't even seem to be trying to cook any of my game's assets. Any ideas what could be happening?

Hi, I'm making an MMO and all dialogues are stored as text server side in the database, so the player cannot just look at the dialogues and figure out the solution of quests, or get information about the next ones. The dialogue text is sent from server only when needed. The problem is that now I would like to add voiceovers to the quests. Voiceovers are audio files, which can be easily extracted from a packaged project by a player (UnrealPak), so if I ship those my game will be spoiled so easily. Is there a way to serve assets on the fly on top of the packaged game? Can I send to the player some voice files only when he runs the quest? Or what is the best way to accomplish this?

open rapids Dec 29, 2019, 12:34 AM

#

@shy narwhal You should be able to stream sound over WAN and UDP no problem, just like any voice chat software does, i.e. Discord

#

But typically the sound files sit on a client, because you may encounter some latency if too many people request streaming from your end

#

Being able to extract the sounds, I don't think it's a dealbreaker

#

just think in percentage, Out of all your players how many are dedicated to use unreal pak? and what's the downside if one out of Hundred does?

shy narwhal Dec 29, 2019, 12:40 AM

#

@open rapids In another engine I was using speex to compress the audio much, but I see Unreal is using wav, which is very big

open rapids Dec 29, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

You can implement your own basic solution

shy narwhal Dec 29, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

so sending wav files over the network seems unpractical as well

open rapids Dec 29, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

OGG or MP3 formats are very well documented

shy narwhal Dec 29, 2019, 12:41 AM

#

I was thinking to split the wav files into pieces

#

and then recompose based on server info

#

so if a player gets all the files, he will have to try to recompose the pieces to get one full phrase

Is This part of an actual puzzle, That the player has to complete?

shy narwhal Dec 29, 2019, 12:42 AM

#

MMO quests

#

so yes, everything is a puzzle by itself

#

plus there is knowledge and lore they can get

#

the other way is text to speech

open rapids Dec 29, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

personally, I would keep the sounds local on the client, and just past the sound ID over the network

shy narwhal Dec 29, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

like if I could text to speech well, then the problem is solved

open rapids Dec 29, 2019, 12:43 AM

#

it's simple, no overhead, no drama

#

you can also implement text to speech, I've seen it done on Windows, don't remember where right now

#

there may be something on the marketplace for text to speech in unreal

#

I'm pretty sure I've seen it

Hi, there is a tool to only cook project? UAT use Editor, but I would like to avoid it

mellow bane Dec 29, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

You need the entire editor to cook

obtuse hollow Dec 29, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

:(

#

Maybe epic could consider creating a tool for that

mellow bane Dec 29, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

There is one, it's UAT and it needs the editor

#

Cooking involves compiling shaders for every platform, compressing textures, resizing textures, packaging assets.. It's a lot of stuff and it's never going to be one simple tool

#

Not to mention your game is ran silently when you cook

#

Not to mention the editor determines what to cook based on the assets contents - the cooking tool needs to look in depth to every asset and basically you need half the editor already

obtuse hollow Dec 29, 2019, 3:37 PM

Ok, thanks for your answer

Hi all, I hope I'm in the right place to ask this. I'm new to UE, but slowly getting a handle on it. I'm trying to build a mod for Satisfactory, everything inside of UE (blueprints etc) seem fine based on what people have seen/told me, but for some reason UE won't create the PAK file. None of the guys over in the modding group have any clue what's going on. No matter which method I've used (AlpaKit plugin, or 'manually' tell UE to cook the files, it just refuses to, and the logs are no help as they're either not created, or empty. Would anyone have any idea what the issue could possibly be? (Using 4.21.2 btw, only version that seems to work for modding the game).

Does anyone know if deleting unused assets in your project will reduce the packaged size or is anyways only the used stuff getting packaged?

Depends how you package

If you set up the list of maps to cook, only used assets will be used

Make Packaging great again!.......why does this process have to be so difficult?

Because distributing software is hard

@barren ermine That's an unexpected error to me, but can you double check the value of r.PostProcessing.PropagateAlpha In DefaultEngine.ini In your project. bEnableAlphaChannelInPostProcessing is experimental

barren ermine Jan 4, 2020, 10:33 PM

@open rapids r.PostProcessing.PropagateAlpha was false. I set it to true to see if anything will change. I couldn't find bEnableAlphaChannelInPostProcessing though

They are the same thing. But propagate Alpha, being experimental, should most likely be set to false, even more so on mobile platforms. In their documentation, epic says : works only with Temporal AA, Motion Blur, Circle Depth Of Field. This option also force disable the separate translucency.

Hi

I have a problem with packaging. when I try to package for windows 32/64 bit, project directly open Chrome and direct me to guide main page. I guess it try to open Visual studio Tutorial with "http://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Tutorial/Installation/InstallingVisualStudioTutorial.InstallingVisualStudioTutorial/index.html"

I did everything with blueprints on my prototype level. Of course I digged google but all I find is un answered topics of same problem.

#

can anyone direct me to what should I search or what is the problem?

misty hill Jan 5, 2020, 10:42 PM

tight galleon Jan 7, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

I had an interesting problem, some unreferenced assets kept being packaged with the game.
I found the cause, in BaseEditor.ini:

+ContentDirectories=/Game/UI
+ContentDirectories=/Game/Widget
+ContentDirectories=/Game/Widgets
+ContentDirectories=/Engine/MobileResources```
In CookOnTheFlyServer.cpp:
```//@todo SLATE: This is a hack to ensure all slate referenced assets get cooked.
// Slate needs to be refactored to properly identify required assets at cook time.
// Simply jamming everything in a given directory into the cook list is error-prone
// on many levels - assets not required getting cooked/shipped; assets not put under 
// the correct folder; etc.```

So everything in the UI folder gets cooked no matter what. We don't have that reference problem so I fixed it by adding
```[UI]
!ContentDirectories=ClearArray```
to our DefaultEditor.ini. Sharing this in case anyone else has this problem.

I want to include my git's commit hash in my build, is there a good way of doing this? I was thinking of somehow passing the commit hash to the BuildCookRun command and somehow including it in the game.

mellow bane Jan 7, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

I've done this in the past and my way was to include the feature in our python build script for UAT

#

Currently I pass -createreleaseversion on UAT with the output of git describe

#

Don't think this affects the build itself though

#

On non-UE projects, the easiest is to write a string var to a .cpp file with the var defined extern elsewhere

@mellow bane Does createreleaseversion effect the actual project version?

It changes the version for the version artifacts generated as part of the built-in patch system

Yeah, you can't include editor modules in packaged builds

Hello,

I need to chunk my game into several sections due to console requirements.
I have found this guid: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Basics/AssetsAndPackages/AssetManagement/CookingAndChunking/index.html

But it confuses me more then anything else.
I'm not able to create multiple chunks in the Asset Audit and I can't find a way to propperly assign or remove any data from the one any only chunk 0. Which just contails all data.

Is there any usefull tutorial or guid available?

Thank you!

tight galleon Jan 9, 2020, 11:27 AM

@covert plank there's more info here if it helps: https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/tech-blog/optimizing-battle-breakers-for-chunked-downloading

Unreal Engine

Optimizing Battle Breakers for Chunked Downloading

We explore the tools and techniques we used when making Battle Breakers, ensuring that it would have the smallest possible initial download size while allowing additional content to be downloaded on demand.

#

You should be able to do most basic chunking via the .ini file under [/Script/Engine.AssetManagerSettings] using +PrimaryAssetRules=[...].

When you need more complicated chunking rules your best bet is to override the AssetManager class, specifically the GetPrimaryAssetRules function, to set which chunk it should be in.

We also override OnObjectPreSave to do nothing as by default it will restrict all PrimaryIDs to be the full path of the asset, which isn't required at all, it's just an asset registry label.

A common mistake to look out for, make sure that all the assets in chunk0 aren't referencing the assets you want to be in other chunks. References will by default always pull referenced assets into the same chunk.

#

Soft references are ok though! Just no hard references. That's by design and expected.

#

(overriding OnObjectPreSave isn't required if you don't have any custom primary assets)

tight galleon Jan 9, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

@bold iris you can use and depend on the "EditorWidgets" module but you have to make a new "editor only" module to contain it. You can't put it into your [GameName].build.cs module because that's the module that should only contain your game code, no editor-only classes.

You can see how to do that in the wiki: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Creating_an_Editor_Module

Creating an Editor Module

mellow bane Jan 9, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

He wanted to package the game using that module

#

That's neither possible or allowed

#

You can keep editor features in your game for editor builds like you mention

#

But that looked like using the thing at runtime

covert plank Jan 9, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

Worked a bit on this again but I'm somehow just stuck. Nothing is happening or changing to before. I want my Main Menu to be in chunk 0 wich as only besides simple open level no references to other content of the game.

#

I'm getting this in the editor and config but this just does nothing

📎 assets.PNG

tight galleon Jan 9, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

That config says that all maps should be in chunk 0 and that all primary asset labels should be in chunk 1. Do you have any primary asset label blueprints?

covert plank Jan 9, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

Yes, I currently have one for my Animations. But they are also in Cunk 0 if I check the sizemap in asset audit

#

But why all maps? I set a specific one and not a directory

tight galleon Jan 9, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Ah, I see what you're doing. So, that screen is just for specifying WHAT IS a primary asset. The chunking rule is just a default.
You want to keep all maps as primary assets, period. On that config screen, remove that specific map and add back "/Game/Maps" folder (I'm assuming you're putting all your maps in there). You can keep it on AlwaysCook for now. Put the chunk for maps to 1 instead of 0.

Now create a new PrimaryAssetLabel blueprint and make that only reference the main menu. Make the label put the main menu map into chunk 0 with any priority higher than 1 (<- this is important, priority 0 will default to priority 1).

That might work for you.

#

The primary asset definitions and rules are a bit complicated, I might make a presentation on it to clear it up since there's no complete documentation online about it and I had to learn most things I know about it from the source code.

#

Oh actually, you can put the main menu map into the "Primary Asset Rules" section of that project setting screen instead of using the label. There you can override it to be in chunk 0.

#

But either should work

covert plank Jan 9, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

Will test this out, will take some time.

the documentation does not help at all and does only confuse. the issue is that Xbox requires chunk 0 to be less then 15GB and my game has 40GB. And right now everything I did resulted in everything is always in chunk 0

#

changed it according to your suggestion but Asset Audit will still show only chunk0 and no chunk1

tight galleon Jan 9, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

Even if all maps are in chunk 1 by default? Hmm, that's odd.

#

And you've enabled chunking in the project settings?

mellow bane Jan 9, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

Speaking of primary assets - you gave invaluable help on this earlier

covert plank Jan 9, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

Thanks @tight galleon Clearing the config from old junk and a restart helped and I now have 2 chunks. Even if it's currently only with a small part of the game with bary any content.

📎 chunk.PNG

tight galleon Jan 9, 2020, 2:44 PM

Ah yes, changing primary asset rules requires editor restart usually since it only scans the asset registry at startup, I forgot. Good that it's sorted now!

And thanks Stranger, glad you like it! 😃

hey when packing oour games do we pick just the persistant level that loads everything else or do you need to pick every single map?

#

#

@shadow storm 99.9% sure it needs both, but please @ me if I'm wrong

tight galleon Jan 11, 2020, 8:46 AM

#

@shadow storm If you choose those "Cook everything" and "cook maps only (affects cookall only)" options above it will cook all the maps in your project and the assets they reference. If you want to cook all the maps in your content directory then this would probably be your best option.

If you instead choose only your persistent level it will cook all maps that level references if they are actual UE4 references (like sublevels or variable references). If they are only loaded from the LoadLevel node which takes in a level name string, that won't get included.

I've heard from some thread on UE4 forums that if you don't select any levels, then all levels will get cooked, but it doesn't work reliably for me.

When you run a packaged UE4 game on Windows 10 its shows up as "Windows does not recognize this program" and treats it as a virus. Requiring you to "Show more options" and "Continue Anyway".

GUYS UE4.20 IS SUPPORTS AMD NEW GRAPHIC CARDS?

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

@misty bluff Not a packaging discussion by any mean, but UE4 doesn't support GPUs, it targets an API that GPU provide

#

So generally speaking it's up to your GPU to support UE4, if it doesn't

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

i dont know where i can post about this because this error gives on packages (shipping build)

What is your actual issue ?

#

Did you build 32b by any chance ?

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

No its 64bit

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

Can your users run other UE4 games ?

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

yea they using nvidia card

#

they are in game rn

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

No, can your AMD users run other UE4 games ?

#

For example, can they run Fortnite, which uses a more recent engine version than you do ?

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

no they dont play any unreal games yet

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

I'm saying this because a lot of PC users aren't very technical and run wildly outdated drivers, for example

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

i will get more info

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

Is your game running DX12 ?

#

Another important test : do you run your game on new machines on new releases ? For example a newly formatted computer / virtual machine that supports hardware acceleration

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

DX12 and DX11

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

Well, do make sure your users try in DX11

#

Though AFAIL that is the default

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

you mean i remove that option dx12?

#

then what happens dx12 players

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

No, I mean, do make sure to check your game starts with DX11 as a default

#

Which should be the case

#

If you don't know about this, it probably means you're in DX11 everywhere and it's fine

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

But then dx12 players open DX11 as a default and gets performance degrade, why unreal engine doesnt decide to run dx11 or 12?

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Let's be clear : DX11 is the default in UE4, even if DX12 is supported

#

A lot of developers here find DX12 to actually run slower than DX11, so it's a good thing

#

So if you did not yourself work on making DX12 the default, everyone who didn't pass an additional command-line options to your game already runs DX11

#

Which is fine and means it's probably not the issue

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

let me check i cant clearly remember dx12 is default or not

#

there no dx12? thonk

📎 unknown.png

#

thats weird i was sure 4.20 version had dx12

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

You're looking at the shader models for packaging here, SM5 is used by both DX11 and DX12.

#

The option you're looking for should be in something like "Platform" / "Windows"

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

yea im there

#

📎 unknown.png

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

Sounds like it's always available then

#

Still, default is to DX11

#

You kept DX10 available too, so you can suggest users try with -dx10

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

didnt worked

#

same error

#

AMDs faulty driver behind feature called enhanced sync. Don't use it until they release new driver update with that issue adressed as fixed in description of a newest version.

#

Thats true?

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

Sounds like a driver issue then

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

There have any hotfix about that unreal version till 4.24 from 4.20?

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

If its a driver issue, you need a driver fix

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

Im using nvidia gtx 1050 man. that AMD players getting this error in my game

#

You can always try doing a Development package to send to select players to see if the logs give you useful information

#

For what it's worth, it's curious that you have this particular error

#

@misty bluff Is your game on Steam ?

#

You seem to believe this is an AMD issue, but without being told that, I would check first that you correctly installed your dependencies

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

yeah and free demo

#

https://store.steampowered.com/app/981870

#

i did send devBuild who getting this error

there you can see The system cannot find the file specified. (0x00000002)

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

The full log would help tbh

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

let me take permission from that player

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Did you install dependencies with your game ? VS redist + DX ?

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

yeah he did

#

even with UE4Prereq.exe

#

he can play other games without unreal games

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Specifically the DX one

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

if he didnt install this DX, other games would'nt start. or gave missing DX.DLL

#

imma try to say he can install older version

mellow bane Jan 13, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

That's not what I'm asking

#

I'm asking because your Steam package does not include the VS dependencies or DX setup

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

ah

#

let me check

You don't need even half of these but okay

#

I guess

misty bluff Jan 13, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

to take guarantee so

#

thats so weird

#

what you using Grap Card?

lusty ledge Jan 14, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

I have 3ds max scripts for import PSK/PSA files from UE3/4 games using gildor umodel. I want export as the same PSK file but I don't know how or I need importer script?
I'm a modder.

#

Also I using UDK too

mellow bane Jan 14, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

UE4 does not use PSK/PSA

#

You won't find a lot of people familiar with this here

lusty ledge Jan 14, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

I want export as the same PSK file but I don't know how or I need importer script?

mellow bane Jan 14, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

This is not a packaging question, it's not even an UE4 question, try the UDK forums

lusty ledge Jan 14, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

support still working?

mellow bane Jan 14, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

What support ?

lusty ledge Jan 14, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

forum isn't active?

mellow bane Jan 14, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Well yeah, UDK has been dead for 5 years

#

Still your best chance

lusty ledge Jan 14, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

ok ty I export as psk in Milkshape 3D

Hi guys, I'm trying to package a game and I'm noticing that the packaged version is requesting for plugins that are not enabled in the project such as SlateRemote

#

Anywhere I can reference why it's referencing these plugins and not including them in the package?

#

In my packaging settings I've added a list of maps to include, could this affect things?

mellow bane Jan 14, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

No, this is good practice

#

What's the full packaging log
