I cherrypicked the log lines with a mention of plugin, as there is a BP that spams warnings which bloats hte log

buildlog. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

#

However I think I found the cause

#

I didn't delete the old build before building so I think there were some stray assets

mellow bane Jan 14, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Nothing interesting in that file so I can't help

woeful relic Jan 14, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

My hunch was right, there were still some stray .uplugins from previous builds it seems like. I wiped the folder and copied the staged build and now it seemingly works

#

Thanks anyways @mellow bane!

Hi there devs! I have been looking out for releasing updates of my game over mobile stores but I'm facing an issue with it. I'm hoping you guys can help me out on this one. So here is the thing, I have a game uploaded on PlayStore in Testing phase. Now everytime i upload an updated shipping build, It makes me download the whole game all over again. So my question is what do i need to do in order to get only updated or new content to be downloaded from Playstore (which would usually be small in size) instead of downloading the whole build. It would be great if i can get some leads.

#

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
@woeful relic Check if those unused plugins are there in your project's plugin folder if they do exist then remove them

@scenic rain Updating mobile games isn't really like how clients do it. I believe if it is a simple packaged game (no additional packages from servers) then all mobile stores in all plaforms update the entire thing. Like, re-download the new APK and update the app

#

A question from my part, since 4.24 I have noticed that my game has been broken on packaged builds because the PlayerController is getting intiated before the GameState and other classes. This isn't the case in editor/standalone and in previous packaged 4.20. Any help on this?

@patent forum Hi Shinzo! My game sizes around 1 GB. So, if I add small content to the project, I want only that new content to be downloaded from playstore as an update rather then downloading the whole Gig again.

Hey all, can anyone point me to some resources on how to ship the editor with my project? For modding purposes

mellow bane Jan 17, 2020, 2:18 PM

@dark raptor You can't, the license specifically forbids you to.

dark raptor Jan 17, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

I saw some modding tools for Ark, Battalion, Mordhau etc?

mellow bane Jan 17, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

Yeah, you have to contact Epic to release the mod kit on the Epic launcher

#

They'll give you a bunch of forms to complete, legal contracts, assets to put on their store, etc

wild basin Jan 19, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

Hi, so I'm trying to launch my game, however, it keeps slamming this message in my face (Error: 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 think it's because I extended UUserWidget class, however ... What should I do?

#

I also tried some sources on the internet but it didn't work ... That, or I was stupid enough to not make it work ? 😩

marsh chasm Jan 19, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

is this in a packaged build ?

#

EditorWidgets is editor module, your game should not depend on it in the build

#

@wild basin

wild basin Jan 19, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

Oh ... so do you mean there are functions that only works inside the editor?
@marsh chasm
Also sorry for being late

marsh chasm Jan 19, 2020, 11:37 AM

#

in short, yes

#

you have 'editor only' modules that are designed to work with the editor

#

also, irrc we can't legally distribute builds with editor stuff

#

my guess is you added EditorWidgets as a dependency to one of your runtime modules

#

@wild basin

wild basin Jan 19, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

Okay, so I have to go through my code and find which part of the code is depending on that editor module and replace it, right?

marsh chasm Jan 19, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

yeah, you should move it to your own editor module probably

#

the easiest way to catch it would be to search for "EditorWidgets" in your Build.cs files

wild basin Jan 19, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

Alright. Thanks a lot @marsh chasm . 😉

wild basin Jan 19, 2020, 1:04 PM

#

So I've finally figured it out ... it was so silly though.
My team member wrote some blueprints and forgot to take out "PrintMessage" nodes ... so when I build, it creates a "UMGEditor" module and adds it to .uproject which messes up the launch. So I got rid of those and all working fine.
Thanks again @marsh chasm . I'll leave this here in case someone ran into the same problem in the future

marsh chasm Jan 19, 2020, 1:06 PM

ah, i see blobThink

steady maple Jan 19, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Looking for insight into how a particular piece of code works and to better understand the purpose to determine whether or not I'm misusing the feature.

#

If I use Cast<UPackage>(LoadPackage(NULL, TEXT("/Game/Maps/MyOtherLevel.umap"), LOAD_None)) in PIE, I get a UWorld from that package, in which I can use with TActorIterator to get all the actors (etc) that were placed in that umap.

#

But on a dedicated server or a standalone game, after calling LoadPackage, I still get the UWorld, but none of the actors (etc) are present (in other words, I fail to see any actors when using TActorIterator with the UWorld).

#

MyOtherLevel.umap in this context refers to a level that is not already loaded (not the PersistentLevel). I noticed that if I use LoadPackage on the level that is already loaded as the PersistentLevel when not in PIE, I can successfully use TActorIterator to see all of the actors from the UWorld that I get from LoadPackage, perhaps because the UWorld that I get from LoadPackage points to the same world I'd get from GetWorld() in this scenario? (EDIT: Confirmed this is true)

#

The root of my confusion, though, is that in PIE, I can load MyOtherLevel.umap and reference actors in that level just fine, but I can't in a standalone game or a dedicated server. Unsure of what I'm not considering.

steady maple Jan 20, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

Aside from the details of the above, I feel it'd be just as valuable for me to know what LoadPackage itself is actually for, as it's not clear to me what it's actually doing.

I am currently creating a virtual studio where there are 4 screens playing videos from 4 Media Player-based Shaders.

At first, the ask is to essentially generate a build of this project where my colleagues can easily open it as a standalone executable but being able to switch the content with their own videos. Sort of a "drag and drop" situation for their MP4s to a folder where the media players would theoretically source their content from.

It doesn't seem to be that complicated within the editor/project in hands, but I was wondering how can you approach this scenario with a standalone build

hollow cloud Jan 24, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

Can you explain ur issue a little more @west granite

west granite Jan 24, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

@hollow cloud Basically I need to package the UE4 Project for a specific team that only wants to PreViz their content/videos on the Displays that are placed in the Map without having to deal with the UE4 Editor.

So we have 4 Displays in the Level which have Media Players attached to them.

The issue is that, I need to have this project packaged, but with a way for them to change the videos for the screens as simple as possible.

A great example of this simplicity would be having a Folder for each screen's content, and then being able to drag and drop their videos in that said folder where the packaged/cooked build of the project would recognize the new MP4s on the fly without needing the Editor.

Not sure if this level of flexibility is possible but that essentially what I have to do in order to move towards the next steps.

Hey guys. I'm having an issue where some Dynamic Material Instances using Material Parameter Collections aren't working properly when I package up my game. Everything seems to work properly though when i PIE or in standalone game.

Edit: The issue appears to be with how I'm calling the vector parameter value names in the material paremeter collections. I'm using Get Display Name of my character blueprint and naming the MPC variables as Sidescroller_Character, Sidescroller_Character1, etc., for my multiplayer game. But it looks like in packaging the names get a string of numbers added to the end. In this case is Sidescoller_Character_C_2147482118

Happy Monday everyone, question for you all. I'm packaging a simple prototype build for windows 64bit, no plugins used, C++ project. Packaging runs smoothly, all is well until I try to run the .exe and windows kills the process the moment it tries to run. I have no antivirus enabled, I have added exceptions to windows defender to try and allow the process through, even removed pre-requisites installer from being packaged so there's no exe to exe communication that might be flagged, but nothing seems to help. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Or think of any other methods I could try?

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

What happens exactly ? are you running this on your own machine or another one ?

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

I'm running it on my own machines and trying on 2 other machines in the office. Basically I launch the .exe, the process pops up in task manager for about half a second and then disappears

#

Just rebuilt with crash reported and it says CreateProcess() has failed 570, so now looking up what could be causing that

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

Let's start by your own machine - non-devs machine will require dependencies that you might not have installed, but your own shouyd work

#

So it doesn't work on your dev machine right ?

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

No createprocess fails, I have ran other UE4 project on here before

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:50 AM

So this is on your own machine where UE4 runs ? Sorry, trying to be sure here

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

Yeah sorry, on my machine the engine runs and I have ran plenty of other UE4 packaged game projects

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

So your packaged game fails to run on the machine that runs UE4 ? Correct ?

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

It's just this a prototyping project I'm working that has the problem when I try to run it

#

yes correct

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

Can you do a development packaged build and get the logs ?

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:52 AM

#

so it is already a development build, no crash logs are generated. Which leads me to think windows is stepping in and stopping the process

#

as the build never even gets to initiate to create logs

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:53 AM

#

Crash logs are one thing, what about regular logs ?

#

What's in Saved folder in that packaged build ?

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:53 AM

#

No saved folder gets created

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:54 AM

#

You're sure this is a development build, right ?

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:54 AM

#

Yeah certain

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:54 AM

#

Any project plugin you're using ?

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:55 AM

#

No plugins, only a C++ blueprint library that I put together, although all of the code compiles just fine and I did a full rebuild of the engine before packaging to rule out binaries or intermediates playing up

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:56 AM

#

I'm asking because there is very little difference between running a packaged development game, and running the editor

#

If it truly fails to even write logs, it's usually a missing library or something like it

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 11:58 AM

#

hmm

#

Actually, datasmith was used to import a floorplan, I could try disabling that and trying again

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 11:58 AM

#

Err

#

Studio projects can't be packaged, AFAIK, so that might be one thing

So it's a VR title too ?

No, just windows desktop standalone

Ah right, disabled

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 12:03 PM

A map was migrated from an existing VR build, so I think that's what added the VR references

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 12:04 PM

Well at this point you can only debug the executable in Visual Studio

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

I tried, but it's cancelled before I can attach to the process. Unless there's another way of doing so?

#

I'm only familiar with running a program and then attaching to it

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 12:05 PM

#

Basically open the game executable in VS from ProjectName/Binaries, press debug, wait for the crash

#

Debug symbols should be found unless you removed PDB files

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

Okay cool, will give that a try next.

#

Thanks for the help @mellow bane Much appreciated

mellow bane Jan 27, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

You're welcome, this stuff is nasty to work out

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

Haha tell me about it

gentle lava Jan 27, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

@mellow bane thanks for the tip on debugging the .exe straight inside Visual studio instead of attaching to a process. It pointed me to a memory access violation. Looks like there was an actor trying to reference an object after it had been destroyed in the scene setup. Editor had never flagged any warnings but the VS debug gave some helpful info.
Thanks again for the advice

Does anyone know if deleting unused assets in the editor can make the packaged project size smaller❔❔❔

Not if you package correctly

there are compilation issues

it's compiling something

something called Yashar and Yashar_RT

which would suggest it is not a blueprint project

austere kernel Jan 29, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

If you're nativizing the BP then you need to make sure there are absolutely no errors in it. Play the game in editor, have the Output Log window open, and see if errors and warnings are being thrown from that BP.

honestly I'm helping a friend, so I'm not too familiar with this project myself. but all he does is AEC stuff in the basic BP template, he doesn't write code or anything

mighty lodge Jan 29, 2020, 3:26 PM

that log looks like it's from a different project

#

ah no, it's the same project

just funky naming conventions

austere kernel Jan 29, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

It's saying you're trying to get index #0 from an array coming out of a "get all actors from class" node, but that index is invalid cuz the array is empty. You can use an "is valid index" node to first check if the array actually has stuff in it.

thick oar Jan 29, 2020, 3:29 PM

in no where am I using the get all actors from class node

only bit of BP code is in the level BP and it's just about playing some music

Hmm weird. Idk then.

i know right!!

#

That's a weird problem right there.

austere kernel Jan 29, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

I assume you're nativizing it cuz the log says it's compiling a ".cpp"... If you gotta get this thing packaged at all costs you can try disabling nativization in the project settings.

thick oar Jan 29, 2020, 3:37 PM

is UE4 exporting to HTML 5? or how can a full project go on web without pixel streaming?

mellow bane Jan 29, 2020, 10:46 PM

HTML5 support was removed recently

static badger Jan 29, 2020, 10:46 PM

wo

i wanted to make some interactive content for customers content on web, product configurators

#

but cant figure out how its done in UE4

mellow bane Jan 29, 2020, 10:47 PM

You can't really do this with UE4

#

You might want to investigate Unity instead

static badger Jan 29, 2020, 10:48 PM

will UE4 have it evenutally

#

just getting a handle on Uue4

mellow bane Jan 29, 2020, 10:48 PM

UE4 actively removed it last year

#

UE4 is not made for the Web at all - basic projects still are around 100MB large

static badger Jan 29, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

yea

#

i could use sketchfab but its expensive and kind of limited

#

unity would need to learn.

mellow bane Jan 29, 2020, 10:49 PM

Unity is the closest

static badger Jan 29, 2020, 10:50 PM

that sucks heh

but yea projects are so massive

#

this that is not even planned?

mellow bane Jan 29, 2020, 10:52 PM

#

UE4 had HTML5 export for years, then removed it

#

It's a dead platform

#

People just don't play games on the Web

Mobile has replaced that market entirely

Try this just to be sure : in VS, with editor closed, set your build config back to Development Game Editor (this is what the editor uses so you should almost always use this), compile, and then retry. building the shipping one

I took it that DevGameEditor worked, but...

Let me explain what that setting was since you asked, and since you said it is a has some BP in your project its trying to convert those files to CPP for packaging and you need to enable that or it wont compile the BP wont work in a packaged build, and if you change it to Inclusive it will unblock all blueprints and if you change it to Exclusive you will have to pick what blueprints you want to unblock if you know which blueprints you are going to be using.

Here's what you do : remove the AFunctionalTest classes, and use their parent classes instead

For example: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Developer/FunctionalTesting/AFunctionalTestGameMode/index.html

AFunctionalTestGameMode

Parent is AGameModeBase

The issue is that you're trying to compile a module that's not avaialble for shipping

#

I don't think Blueprints can do that

regal quest Jan 30, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

how can i except that from packaging

mellow bane Jan 30, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

If I'm right, you have to remove all FunctionalTesting related stuff

regal quest Jan 30, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

its not included in GameMode files

mellow bane Jan 30, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

🤷 I thought your game mode class inherited from it

regal quest Jan 30, 2020, 8:46 PM

makes me confused these errors

im the only one who getting weird errors even on web development lol

its included xD

mellow bane Jan 30, 2020, 8:49 PM

Well, yeah, the compile errors aren't coming from nowhere

#

Just CTRL + SHIFT + F "functionaltest" in the project

and 2 in gamemode

Hi guys . On 4.24.2 with megascans plugins has a packaging error. Is there anyone who has encountered this problem before? (Actually packaging process done properly but package exe didn't work)

#

When disable the plugin and re export package problem gone

mellow bane Jan 30, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

@regal quest Replace the functestgamemode with AGameModeBase, replace the include with the appropriate one, drop the uproject one too

regal quest Jan 30, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

can i replace include with my gamemodebase or not

mellow bane Jan 30, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

#include "FunctionalTestGameMode.h" -> include for gamemodebase instead (GameFramework/GameModeBase.h)

#

public AFunctionalTestGameMode -> public AGameModeBase instead

#

And remove the additional dependency

regal quest Jan 30, 2020, 9:00 PM

ok im building now

#

i hope its works because my eyes almost fell from my face haha

#

@sweet star its happend with my friend once i can ask him tomorrow because he is off now i forgot how he fixed that

Hello,
I am attempting to package a small project, but what I am receiving is something I have never really seen before:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)):   LogObj: Error: LoadConfig (/Script/Engine.Default__RendererSettings): import failed for bEnableAlphaChannelInPostProcessing in: False
PackagingResults: Error: LoadConfig (/Script/Engine.Default__RendererSettings): import failed for bEnableAlphaChannelInPostProcessing in: False

Has anyone had a similar issue?

open rapids Feb 2, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

@sacred parrot I've seen that before, don't remember where exactly, didn't happen to me, but I briefly looked into it out of curiosity and this is what I found out
in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.24\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Classes\Engine\RendererSettings.h
UPROPERTY(config, EditAnywhere, Category = Postprocessing, meta = ( ConsoleVariable = "r.PostProcessing.PropagateAlpha", DisplayName = "Enable alpha channel support in post processing (experimental).", ToolTip = "Configures alpha channel support in renderer's post processing chain. Still experimental: works only with Temporal AA, Motion Blur, Circle Depth Of Field. This option also force disable the separate translucency.", ConfigRestartRequired = true)) TEnumAsByte<EAlphaChannelMode::Type> bEnableAlphaChannelInPostProcessing;

#

r.PostProcessing.PropagateAlpha Can be set to true or false in DefaultEngine.ini in the [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] Section, I think

#

My comment may not necessarily help you, but that's all I know 🙂

Hey having issues with packaging navigation on a project. Works in editor and in standalone but in packaged project none of the move to location nodes are firing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! 🙂

open rapids Feb 3, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

@tender storm In situations like this it may be a good idea to enable a shipping with debug on and then check your logs

📎 unknown.png

mellow bane Feb 3, 2020, 7:55 AM

#

@open rapids This has no effect on logs, it just also copies PDB files next to the executables for Visual Studio debugging

#

Shipping removes logs entirely from the code

open rapids Feb 3, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

@mellow bane I politely disagree 🙂 unless life is just a dream, and my memory of debugging shipped project this way is just an illusion of the matrix 🙂

mellow bane Feb 3, 2020, 7:59 AM

#

I'm pretty sure Shipping removes logs, and I'm pretty sure "debug files" mean PDBs

#

There are no other debug files to be copied

#

@open rapids Here's what that box does : https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/6c20d9831a968ad3cb156442bebb41a883e62152/Engine/Source/Editor/MainFrame/Private/Frame/MainFrameActions.cpp#L759
And here is what the nodebuginfo switch does : https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/6c20d9831a968ad3cb156442bebb41a883e62152/Engine/Source/Programs/AutomationTool/Scripts/CopyBuildToStagingDirectory.Automation.cs#L1387

#

Basically copy the PDB and manifest stuff.

#

So I don't know what you did, but I doubt you got logs to work in Shipping that way

Hi guys, I guess I found the right place to ask a question, I am line tracing by channel along the spline mesh, the "complex trace" is checked this spline mesh is curved in X and Y dimensions, but its flat in Z, while in Editor the spline mesh is traced just fine, the packaged version ignores the spline mesh completely, unless I uncheck the the complex trace, but that is not the result I need. Im gonna grab some screenshots

"Plugin "DialoguePlugin" failed to load because module "DialoguePlugin" could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project"
It worked before, with the plugin enabled.

I googled and found that there was a common issue with plugins not getting linked if its a blueprint only project, but that was around 2015. this cant still be running around can it?
would be thankful for any help on this

mellow bane Feb 4, 2020, 10:40 AM

Is your plugin compiled for the current mobile platform ?

unkempt kernel Feb 4, 2020, 10:40 AM

how can i check that?

#

as stated it worked before. I didnt do something like that

mellow bane Feb 4, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

So what did you change since before ?

unkempt kernel Feb 4, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

started getting the project working with googleplay dev console etc. signing and packaging settings
also i changed 2 blueprints from the plugin according to their documentation

#

but as far as i remember i didnt touch something that coulkd disable the plugin

mellow bane Feb 4, 2020, 10:42 AM

The plugin doesn't advertise mobile support so I thought this would be worth mentioning

#

If it did work on mobile before, then it does support it

@mellow bane i mean, there's nothing unordinary there. I think we tracked it down, but it's the strangest thing if this is actually the issue.

From going back a few commits, we were able to package, but the error seems to actually stem around a class inherited from UWidgetBlueprint

@tender stirrup I also stumbled onto the document earlier, I also found a better Chinese document (thanks to google translate) that explained the process and its issues in details but no luck follow is the project launcher log

#

📎 ProjectLauncher.log

mellow bane Feb 4, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

@lament acorn UWidgetBlueprint is an editor class, so it's not available to you, and you could only use it by adding UMGEditor or something like it to Build.cs, unless I'm mistaken

#

Which is why I asked for that file

tender stirrup Feb 4, 2020, 3:24 PM

@spiral cove does this path exist on your end? "C:/DurianEscapePatched/Releases/1.0/Android_ASTC/Metadata/DevelopmentAssetRegistry.bin"

right, the only thing in our build.cs is: PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "NavigationSystem", "OnlineSubsystem", "OnlineSubsystemUtils", "UMG", "Slate", "SlateCore"});

Rule of thumb is, if the include has Editor or Developer inside the path - you aren't allowed to use that in your game

yeah, i've made sure to avoid that in the past too

@tender stirrup I'll try to build without the 1.0 as I think this causes the issue

i checked the .uproject file again, and somehow the UMGEditor was in additionalDependencies, after i deleted it last night lol

#

seems to work now

#

thanks for the help 😄

tender stirrup Feb 4, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

@spiral cove I think it is excpecting a path more than a release number

mellow bane Feb 4, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

@lament acorn Yeah, my first message was asking about both files because either has to contain illegal dependencies for this error to show up

#

The additional dep one is dynamic libraries IIRC

lament acorn Feb 4, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

yeah, i was checking those before, that's why I said nothing out of the ordinary there.

#

there's a surprising lack of info for that error on google

mellow bane Feb 4, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

There is

#

But most packaging issues are complex issues

lament acorn Feb 4, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

true

#

but they'll at least point in the right direction

#

i had removed that line in the .uproject last night, but it still tossed me the error.

#

which is about as useful as saying FATAL ERROR: Reason Unknown

@mellow bane To replace an existing object on a level with another one

mellow bane Feb 7, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Okay, but what is your goal ?

#

Is this a game update ?

#

Is this a mod ?

#

Is it a DLC ?

covert moth Feb 7, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

I guess game update

mellow bane Feb 7, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

How is your game currently distributed to your players ?

#

Which platform is it for ?

covert moth Feb 7, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

It's not distributed. It's for debug purposes. And platform is PC

mellow bane Feb 7, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

The reason i'm asking is that on PC, the way to go is to just create a new build, and let your distribution system patch it

#

Steam, itch, GOG, EGS are all very good at handling the update for you, with a download size smaller than the built-in patch system

#

If you aren't using any distribution system, itch is free and full-featured

covert moth Feb 7, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

I can't use any of those. I just need to do it locally on my computer. If there is a way to do it 🙂

mellow bane Feb 7, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

Well, just make a new package ?

#

Literally the same way you made the original game package

covert moth Feb 7, 2020, 10:54 AM

Ah, okay. I thought there is some tricky steps like "use that batch script, rename to somename_p.pak" and so on

Hi all, I have an issue with nativizing blueprints. In my C++ code I have an enum defined like this:

#

https://gyazo.com/30b022e9331079860f79bf46edfc1d32

Gyazo

#

In one of my blueprints I use a switch statement like this:

#

https://gyazo.com/e1e9bfcd08fee6e8098ac2316102930f

Gyazo

#

However when I then go to package, I get an error that says this:

'static_cast': cannot convert from 'TEnumAsByte<EFactions>' to 'uint8'

#

In the nativized C++ for that blueprint

#

This is what the offending line contains:

#

b0l__K2Node_SwitchEnum_CmpSuccess__pf = UKismetMathLibrary::NotEqual_ByteByte(static_cast<uint8>(DefendingFaction), static_cast<uint8>(EFactions::britain));

#

Looks like the static cast fails, any idea on how to resolve this?

@green solar Perhaps you can try and make a folder in your project that is outside the regular cooked hierarchy, And access it via FPaths::ProjectDir() + the_name_of_folder, and dump your uncooked Content there, Including but not limited to a JPEG texture. I personally never tested images this way, but I had other file types I accessed without any problems

@stray harness That looks like it's failing to render a texture because it's not set up for characters. In the editor it will enable that flag for you, but in cooked builds it won't and falls back. Check your packaging log for errors about textures

@worldly pewter It seems that you are missing a *.Target.cs file for the dedicated server build. If you don't already have one copy 'Alpha_1Editor.Target.cs' and rename it to 'Alpha_1Server.Target.cs'. In the file then also change the name of the new class (the one that inherits from TargetRules) to 'Alpha_1ServerServerTarget'. In the constructor there then change the line where the target type is assigned to 'Type = TargetType.Server'. Also make sure that you game is added as a depndecy like 'ExtraModuleNames.Add("Aplha_1");' - also in the CTOR of the TargetRule child class.

worldly pewter Feb 17, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

@mental hare i do not even have a Alpha_1Editor.Target.cs

#

im only using blueprints from the editor from the launcher

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

If you are using the Launcher version of UE4 then unfortunately you will not be able to build a dedicated server target (that's at least my current level of knowledge and was still very true 2 1/2 months ago at a project in our studio). To get a dedicated server build you would need the engine being built from source. AFAIK it's now included in the launcher version due to size constraints bc Epic did not want to bloat the download package size.

If you want/need the dedicated server try at first to get a clean UE4 source build that compiles without errors. If you have achieved that, it's a very solid starting point for the dedicated server articles.

worldly pewter Feb 17, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

well i was able to create Alpha_1Editor.Target.cs from inside the editor that i have but now will not let me run the project

#

i will try and download the thing once more from github hope it works today 😐

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

Even if you get the two files there is right now no way to get the dedicated server to compile without having a source built engine version. (you need the C++ built targets for those configurations which you will only get this way)

#

Good luck, give it some time and I bet you will get it to run!

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

Kk, just make sure you follow the steps for setting up dependencies and project files for the source build. So invoke the Setup.bat script and download everything. For compilation check that you got everything necessary along visual studio 👍

Is this the whole error output?

worldly pewter Feb 17, 2020, 11:23 PM

yes

#

7 errors no warnings and no messges

#

it did give me the error about typeinfo before but i fixed that an did a rebuild

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

And it's from compiling the UE4 project?

worldly pewter Feb 17, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

yep

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

Visual Studio version is 2017? I have something in mind that there was a regression in some of the versions that made the warning C4800 (implicit conversion to bool) appear for certain files. The best fix would be to solve the issues by changing the faulty code - but to check you could add 'Arguments.Add("/wd4800");' to the VCToolChain.cs file of the UnrealBuildTool iteself, recompile that and then try recompiling UE4 again. Then that warning should not be treated as an error anymore (but this is just a workaround, I bet there is a commit in github that fixes that in some version)

worldly pewter Feb 17, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

yes its 2017 i also have 2019 installed

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

That's especially weird bc AFAIK C4800 was not generated in VS2017, where VS2019 reintroduced it and therefore led to issues.

worldly pewter Feb 17, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

this is also 4.21 of UE4

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

Yep, I also know that a bugfix for this problem with C4800 warning was merged into UE 4.22 - so for fixing it here I would suggest exclude the warning for now from the UnrealBuildTool to at least get the engine to compile

worldly pewter Feb 17, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

ok so in the VCToolChain do i have to put Arguments.Add("/wd4800"); in a set spot?

#

i do not know alot about c++ i only know the basic stuff lol

mental hare Feb 17, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

Put it around line 618, that's where certain other warnings are disabled. I hope that helps a bit, I'm put for today. Good luck!

What steps I need to do before packaging?

@opal plinth if I recall correctly, adding maps to the list to be included in the packaged build would cascade through all the objects that the map/s references

this would not work with assets that are being loaded at runtime via code though

question: if ive made my game so it isnt using pak files, and someone who doesnt have the source for the game wanted to make a map, could they just make a map in any instance of unreal editor against any dummy project, cook that project also without pak files, and take the cooked umap, drop it into my games content dir, and play that map from the commandline? assuming of course that my game has no requirements for any special code within the level blueprint?
or will it just break horribly.

This is true regardless of using paks or not

(It doesn't show this error when I run the Android build from the same project, only happens on Windows build).

This is true regardless of using paks or not
(you should be using paks)
You can't prevent people from modding your game
if i understand you correctly @mellow bane this is good news -- thanks. i dont want to stop modding, i want to encourage it but i also dont want to go through the faff of having to release my game's source code or modify the editor and release a version of it (which to my understanding needs special agreement with epic)

#

so if a player can make a map for my game in any copy of the unreal editor, and just drop it into the same dir as my pak folder... either in a pak or not... its all good.

#

on that note my dedicated server build doesnt use paks because it is a ton slower to rsync over one huge changed pak file rather than bunch of cooked .uasset's

#

but the packaged game i make available to others does

@rapid matrix you sent the wrong log 🙂 that's the packaging log, which is successful. We need to see the runtime log, if you packaged in debug mode or development mode, the log should be somewhere in the project folder, patiently look for log or saved subfolder in your packaged project folder, and upload that. Most likely you have a nullptr somewhere...

#

Keep in mind that if you package your project in shipping mode, there would be no runtime log, so you really need to package it in development or debug mode

Anyone using nativization encountering extremely long packaging times?

#

4.21 packaged the entire game with inclusive nativization fine in around 30-45 minutes.

#

4.24 packaging with inclusive nativization takes around 8-9 hours and then game crashes with an "Async loading event graph contained a cycle"

#

I think i understand why the "async" stuff is happening but i really don't understand why it takes more than the regular time to package

#

With exclusive nativization i was able to cut it down but it's still quite unreasonable. Then it crashes with struct errors from async graphs.

#

I'm stumped, am i missing something obvious between 4.21 and 4.24 settings?

Hola Everyone, hope to find someone which already fell into this. Found nothing online whatsoever
pasting here below the full error which falls out the screen
UATHelper: Packaging (iOS): LogMac: Error: appError called: Assertion failed: [File:/Users/build/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Programs/ShaderCompileWorker/Private/ShaderCompileWorker.cpp] [Line: 75]
it started suddenly a month ago over a binary version of UE4 with no downloads in between

Any guess?

Did you, as the error suggests, try manually compiling ShaderCompilerWorker from visual studio?

how do I enable console commands in a game? Does development target keep them?

#

Console commands work fine in game

#

The console UI is compiled out in shipping though

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but how do I make it so my game doesn't cause a security warning? I am distributing for windows and android on the itch.io store. I guess some stores have code signing or something to prevent that problem, but even if I put my game on google play and solved the problem that way, what about the windows version if I am not distributing on Steam?

#

Steam will mark the game as safe

#

The Itch client should do it

#

There isn't really a solution for direct download, but that's the point really

why the heck would 4.24.3 complain about FilenameToLongPackageName in UE_4.22/Enterprise/Plugins/Editor/StaticMeshEditorExtension ????

mellow bane Mar 3, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

What's the full path ?

eternal flare Mar 3, 2020, 3:05 PM

#

just standard C:\Program Files\Epic Games

mellow bane Mar 3, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

So C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.22/Enterprise/Plugins/Editor/StaticMeshEditorExtension/ something I guess ?

#

Windows defaults to a 260 char limit, so...
