I'll look into it. Thank you.

#

do you package your game for steamworks with pak compression enabled or disabled?

#

steamworks advises against compression but if I don't, the size of the downloaded game is double

#

(players obviously won't have to download 2x as much since steam does its own compression)

mellow bane Apr 18, 2020, 8:17 AM

#

Enabled

#

UE4 pak compression supposedly works on a per-asset basis, rather than on the full pack

#

Since the heavy assets are binary, they usually change entirely when you change them at all, so compression does not make it much worse

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 9:33 AM

thanks!

I have a release build that works fine on my computer when i upload to steam i get an error from module manger for a plugin that was removed from the project ? I recently shifted from 4.22 to 4.24.

#

Can somebody point me in the right direction. The exact same files ( seemingly) run the game on my computer no problem. once i upload it to steam and redownload from steam on the same computer it crashes looking for a plugin that no longer exists on the project

pearl thorn Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Does UE4 support creating patches instead of having people completely redownload the new version?

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

does anyone know where ue4 puts its logs when the game's played from Steam? I've enabled logs in shipping and get them when not playing the steam build

#

looked far and wide but can't find them anywhere

mellow bane Apr 18, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

%LOCALAPPDATA%/ProjectName/Saved/Logs

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

sorry sohuld'

#

should've been more specific - I have them on mine but not on a friend's computer

mellow bane Apr 18, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Well, how do you know

#

That the logs work in shipping ?

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

he can't find it there

#

and I have them on mine

mellow bane Apr 18, 2020, 8:47 PM

#

Does the game even run there ?

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

nope, that's what I'm trying to debug

mellow bane Apr 18, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

Alright, so that makes sense

#

Doesn't run, no logs

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

no error, no window, nothing

#

presses Play on steam, then about 3 seconds later it switches back to Play

Let's start with step # 00001

#

Did you setup the VS redistributables on Steam ?

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

my thougths exactlty

#

doing that now

mellow bane Apr 18, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

Most common reason for "packaged game doesn't run"

#

pretty much the only thing that can go wrong

#

DX setup, VS redist

glossy haven Apr 18, 2020, 8:50 PM

ok that was it

Weird CPP project packaging error: I have a BP based on a C++ class. The BP has a variable it insists comes from the CPP class. The CPP class doesn't have this variable.
When I compile/build/cook, it's all fine. When I package, the packager says (rightly so) that this isn't defined anywhere.
When I attempt to define it in CPP... I can't build, because it calls it a duplicate definition.
Ideas?

slate lagoon Apr 20, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

Well, I ended up dumping all of the intermediary files/build files, refreshing the C++ project, and doing a full rebuild. Then I was able to get it sorted out.

So, I hate the be the guy asking the dumb question, but I've been over Faqs and forums most of the morning, and I can't seem to find anything that directly answers a question beyond a shadow of a doubt, the Marketplace Faq comes close. I know that things in the Marketplace can be entirely used commercially once obtained but is the Faq's insinuation correct in saying that the Learn tab falls under the same point? For example, stripping down ShooterGame and using it as a project base. Just hoping to avoid any future issues.

mellow bane Apr 20, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

All learning content is entirely okay to use in any UE4 project

#

Full commercial use is fine

What's the simplest way to package a project with the editor? I can't seem to stop it using the "WindowsNoEditor" profile

mellow bane Apr 20, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

@proper leaf What do you mean, package with the editor ?

proper leaf Apr 20, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

I'd like end users to be able to use the editor to make new levels

mellow bane Apr 20, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

This is neither possible, not allowed in the UE4 license

proper leaf Apr 20, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

oh?

#

so when making a game with unreal it is impossible to allow your users to create content with it?

mellow bane Apr 20, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

It is impossible to release it with your game

#

You are only allowed to redistribute the editor through the Epic Games Store, so you should take it up to Epic to submit your compiled editor

#

You won't be able to redistribute it on Steam or any other platform, and the editor will have to be free for everyone, whether the game was bought or not

proper leaf Apr 20, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

Can they use the normal, public editor to make content somehow?

#

I don't have any need for the editor to be special or unique for this project

mellow bane Apr 20, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Of course, you will only need to provide them with your source project instead

proper leaf Apr 20, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Ahh

#

right

#

so

#

Paradigm shift

#

What im trying to do is make a freely available virtual table to thing

#

But that means that any "DMs" will have to be able to build their own set ups for their games

#

But I could just make a whole bunch of content, and the blueprints and front end and stuff to run the games and do multiplayer etc etc etc, and then the just package that up and send it to their groups?

#

Can they package it once and then include new content for each new game as a pak file rather than a whole new build?

mellow bane Apr 20, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

If you want people to be able to add content paks to your game you'll probably need them to use the UE4 editor, with your source project, to package their new content as a patch against your own game, based on the previous build data from your machine

proper leaf Apr 20, 2020, 3:20 PM

#

Okay, so

#

I package the game

#

they send that to their players

#

Then they get the project, make a patch with their own levels

#

they also send that too their players

#

Like that?

mellow bane Apr 20, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

I guess

proper leaf Apr 20, 2020, 3:36 PM

The line right below it is the actual error " Cannot create SoftObjectPath with short package name 'False'! You must pass in fully qualified package names"

#

But you don't have symbols so I have no idea why it's trying to do that, it seems to be at the very end. You should attach to the cook after it starts with visual studio and wait for the ensure to go off. You will need to compile from source or download symbols to get more info

#

Oh wait it's there twice, something is bad about your 4943rd cooked package, presumably something with a soft reference

hello, is it possible to distribute an editor version of a project (precompiled DLLs to open the editor for the game)? And if it is, how could someone do that?

mellow bane Apr 24, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

It's likely not allowed by the license, since the editor DLL probably contains editor code

#

Though I wouldn't be 100% sure

#

It's definitely not possible to distribute the editor itself

misty torrent Apr 24, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

I saw the ARK editor for example. How did they distribute the editor?

mellow bane Apr 24, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Through the Epic Games Store, the only medium allowed

misty torrent Apr 24, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

so you need a custom license to distribute a precompiled editor version?

mellow bane Apr 24, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Not really a custom license but a distribution agreement for your mod kit with Epic Games

#

You'll upload a prebuilt version of the editor etc

Create a store page for it, though it will be free for everyone

Hi all, I know this is only a warning but trying to get through our warning list, we keep gettingt his warning on packaging and we can't seem to work out why:

"Trying to build an enterprise target but the enterprise directory is missing. Falling back on engine components only."

#

We are using 4.24

mellow bane Apr 28, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Sounds like you enabled unreal studio at some point

#

Datamith and all that stuff

shy lodge Apr 28, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Aplogies for the delay was in a meeting, we use datasmith on some of our items, unreal studio we don't use . We used datasmith before 4.24 but don't believe we ever had that warning. Am i right in thinking it doesn't matter too much if we have that warning?

mellow bane Apr 28, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

Basically Datasmith can't be packaged IIRC

#

I think I saw some projects failing to package on that, but that's not your case so.. fine ?

shy lodge Apr 28, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

yeah doesn't seem to be an issue, project gets absolutely no errors, just been trying to clean up our warnings list, this will be the only warning we have once I ahve sorted a couple of assets ue4 cannot find the packages for - 1kb files in explorer meaning they are broken.

Hello!
Anyone know why when build DLC for an Map where an localized asset is used it don't loads in a Shipping game?
My Project has two cultures: ru an en.
One static mesh on map has localized texture and by default it has ru locale and in Content\L10N\en\... is placed texture version for en locale. In Standalone game and when game packaged with File\Package Project\Windows all localizations is available - in this case all locales loads on Map reopening (in opposition of documentation: Restarting the game purges and reloads the localized Assets.).

But when created release and DLC package from Project Launcher it can't load en locale for this texture. I unpaсk the dlc .pak file and it contains Content\L10N\en\... assets.
How i can fix this?

p.s. I am sorry for my bad English.

shy lodge Apr 30, 2020, 11:37 AM

Something we have been wondering for a while and we have seen it done by bigger game studios is, firstly is it possible to include video files in a .pak file so they aren’t accessible by the end user and secondly how would you achieve this? Not really something essential but would be nice if it is possible

mellow bane Apr 30, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

It's probably possible with some effort (customized / custom video player) but not exactly easy or useful

#

Paks can be accessed by users almost as easily

shy lodge Apr 30, 2020, 12:07 PM

That is true, not to worry we will just leave it as it is for now then

Can you hardcode a command line argument into a packaged .exe without having to make a shortcut to the .exe?

#

So that if it launches through steam it will launch with the command line arg

#

MyGame.exe -log for example

#

Nvm you can set your own launch options via steam and put -log there

Anyone familiar with the ShooterGame template? I created a main menu and a map using this game mode. I set up the packaging settings to use my main menu as the default map, but when I go to package it, it loads up the Shootergame menu. During the process it's looking for the maps used in the Shooter Game, not mine, even though I directed it to use mine.

usually this is because your project requires VS/WinSDK

maybe I'll just update my VS and see what happens

Do you have C++ support in VS and a Win10 SDK ?

oh great, my windows 10 SDK install somehow disappeared

good to know

#

hope reinstalling it fixes this

#

rip, still just opening docs

#

do I need a specific verion of windows 10 SDK?

#

ok trying from the command line at least tells me something that's wrong

#

precompiled header file is from a previous version of the compiler, or the precompiled header is C++ and you are using it from C (or vice versa)

so I guess I have to recompile the engine

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

@open rapids welcome to the club - there's nothing you can do about that unfortunately

#

your only option is to wait for "enough" people to get the exe and click Run anyway

#

that convinces SheepScreen that it's safe

#

an expensive alternative is to get a so-called Extended Validation Certificate

#

around $600 a year last time I checked

#

and it requires you have a company

#

in short, it's one of the most asinine decisions microsoft has ever made wrt software :P

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

@glossy haven Ty for the explanation. What does "enough" mean here? I have around 2k downloads and also get this from steam

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

you shouldn't be getting it from steam

#

no clue what "enough" is

#

the prime reason I've put my game up in an unpublished state on steam was to get rid of SheepScreen

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

i dont get it when i run the exe after packaging, only after downloading from steam/itch

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

downloading from steam

#

?

#

you mean pressing Play on steam?...

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

yes

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

that's weird

#

shouldn't happen

#

when running the exe by hand, from Explorer in the steam folder yes

#

but when you press the actual steam Play button it shouldn't

#

since Steam is not using the same exec mechanism as that used by windows Explorer

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

does it matter that i have an launcher that runs the exe?

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:14 AM

a custom launcher or the "smaller" exe that comes w/ ue4 projects

#

?

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:14 AM

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:14 AM

is steam launching that?

#

hmm

#

that sucks

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

tell you what

#

I might have a workaround

#

so you notice you have 2 exes

#

a small one at the root dir of the gfame

#

and the actual big one

#

the small exe just calls the big exe

#

but

#

if you put your launcher in its place you might be able to circumvent smartscreen w/ it

#

what's the name of the bigger exe

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Steam launches MyGameLauncher.exe which launches MyGame.exe

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

if you have a custom launcher then you should have 3 exes in total

#

there's bound to be one in Game\Binaries\Win64

#

that's the big one I'm talking about

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

ah

#

yes ofc

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

so what you do is rename your launcher to the name of the big exe and rename the big exe to something else

#

then you have steam launch the small ue4 exe

#

the one at the root dir

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

i'll try that

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

which will in turn call your launcher

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

thanks for the tip

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

...which calls the big exe

#

(that you've renamed)

#

another alternative

#

if you're running a source-built engine

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

i do

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:18 AM

is to modify the small ue4 launcher itself

#

k hold on let me grab the file name

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

is that only a ue problem? i downloaded a lot of demos on itch and never noticed this

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

b/c enough ppl have downloaded it before you

#

it affects any and every exe ever made

#

it's called SmartScreen and assign a reputation score to exes

#

so if enough people have downloaded a trojan and marked it safe then it too will mark it safe :P

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

so everytime i make a patch i'll have to deal with this again?

and companies are making big dough selling these so-called EV certs

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

or is the "small" exe not updated only the pak

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

let me find the file hold on

#

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

what do i have to edit in that file?

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

yeah I'm trying to find my notes

#

have a onenote page lying around somewhere w/ all this crap

#

ok it's in WinPlatform.Automation.cs

#

    void StageBootstrapExecutable(DeploymentContext SC, string ExeName, FileReference TargetFile, StagedFileReference StagedRelativeTargetPath, string StagedArguments)
    {
        FileReference InputFile = FileReference.Combine(SC.LocalRoot, "Engine", "Binaries", SC.PlatformDir, String.Format("BootstrapPackagedGame-{0}-Shipping.exe", SC.PlatformDir));
        if(FileReference.Exists(InputFile))

#

should be this "BootstrapPackagedGame-{0}-Shipping.exe" I believe

#

change it, rebuild the win.automation project and see if it's now launching your launcher

open rapids May 8, 2020, 12:29 AM

#

thanks, i'll try it

glossy haven May 8, 2020, 12:37 AM

you can also just change the string table of the small exe up

Hi game devs,

When I compile my game so that it becomes playable through a build, and a new level is loaded, it is supposed to have another GameMode than the one of the menu (with a new HUD ...) but this one does not load and my GameMode remains the one I have in the menu. However when I play with the unreal editor and not with the final build, I end up with the right HUD and GameMode after loading the level (even if I was on the menu before). I followed the Unreal documentation but nothing specifies the steps to keep the GameModeOverride during a build (https://docs.unrealengine.com/…/Setti…/Blueprints/index.html). Any idea how I can fix this ?
Thanks for the reply !

Textures, often lightmaps if you have static lighting

Yeah I fully understand, just saying the numbers you've reported are quite alright. Use the "size map" feature of the content browser to estimate which assets are the biggest

#

Though it's misleading because it includes all assets, so you have to know what is actually used

#

For textures you can resize them in-editor by setting the "max resolution" field

lyric tulip May 11, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

Yea, i'm trying to set the resolution of all my texture at the best ''low'' level

#

I've 3 video media but it's 137Mo

#

Maybe the blueprint?

mellow bane May 11, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Most definitely not

#

Textures will likely be 95% of the package

#

Videos aren't in the pak at all AFAIK

lyric tulip May 11, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Oh okay so focus on the texture!

mellow bane May 11, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Video can usually be reencoded to lower settings too, you can have the same video use 100KB or 100MB

lyric tulip May 11, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

Okay i'm gonna do that after thanks!

#

i find a big texture size but i cant resize bc it'a a non power of two side

mellow bane May 11, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

Which is a terrible thing

Because it will also have no level of detail

Everytime i just build the basic Project, it have about 500-1GB of size, is this default or could i develope a small game with just 100 MB max?

mellow bane May 11, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

UE4 can easily go down to less than 100MB with no content, less than 50 with more effort

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Performance/ReducingPackageSize/index.html

Reducing Packaged Game Size

How to reduce the size of your packaged game.

#

Most important thing is to set up the list of maps to package

#

Usually halves the size for marketplace users

lyric tulip May 11, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

810Mo now

#

Maybe i should try to compress the game file rather than reduce the package size

mellow bane May 11, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

Won't be useful

#

The package is already compressed, and compressed data compresses terribly

lyric tulip May 11, 2020, 10:22 PM

Indeed, 810Mo to 673Mo, but it's already better!

i'm trying to package my game with BP nativization enabled, and one of the game state child BPs gives me this error: Error: #include found after .generated.h file - the .generated.h file should always be the last #include in a header. how can i fix this?

vital narwhal May 13, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

You probably can't fix nativization issues without learning a lot about it. You could try excluding that blueprint from the list in the packaging settings but I find that to often fail

#

I know the nativization code pretty well and have never successfully shipped anything with it enabled

worn badge May 13, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

the only thing i learned so far is that it never works. it will grab as many references to the BP you want nativized until it finds one that will stop the whole thing from succeeding

When opening multiple instances of my game with a batch file, how can I get the batch file command window to automatically close itself?

"C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.25\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe" "C:\Users\User\Desktop\MyGame\MyGame.uproject" -game -log

This works and launches the game but the cmd window stays open

If I use the start keyword before the path, it does close the cmd window but opens the actual editor project rather than the game

Is it easier to just use powershell for this?

Getting a log when it crashes might help

#

be prepared to tear your hair out, though...

cinder apex May 14, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

Possibly. The problem is you don't really have much to go on if the app just closes immediately. So it can be one of many different issues.

#

Can't hurt to try

#

Without crash logs you'll just have to throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks :P

#

You mean like a loading screen?

#

It's not automatic, but if the level is small and lightweight enough, you can get away without one

#

You'll only know once you test it

#

It's not difficult, though. You can use a level streaming setup to make a loading screen. There are some good tutorials on that

**We have upgraded our projects engine version from 4.20 to 4.24.3, and as the input action mappings are changed, we updated the DefaultInput.ini, but the shipping packaged version does not update the %appdata%/*/ Input.ini file. -> None of the mappings are working.
**
If i delete the (input.ini -s)content manually, every input works well. But if i delete the content at runtime, the game writes back the original wrong action mappings from the previous 4.20 version.
Any idea?

vital narwhal May 15, 2020, 6:12 PM

Did you change your local machine recently, like updating to a new version of windows? You could have linked against a different dll version or something and it's missing from your prereq installer. You'll have to test on some machine other than yours to verify

#

although usually issues like that cause it to fail to launch at all

Yes I actually did just recently update windows after holding off for quite some time. This was actually an issue back at launch luckily steam caught it. Thank you! I will try this out with some testers.

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

You mean i must grab dev rendering branch?

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

No, I mean you revert the changes to your assets with your version control software

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

From the whole engine??

#

Cant because there is no previous version

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Then you'll have to recreate these assets

#

And hopefully you learned that version control with hourly commits is required

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Maybe you missunderstand

#

Its a plugin

#

Not made by my own

#

So there is not a previous version i can go to

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

If the assets are not yours, and come from a plugin, just reinstall the plugin

#

I think you misunderstood the issue tbh

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

Ok so i can install it in 4.24 and open it then in 4.25?

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

That's not your issue

#

I'll explain one last time

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

But it will solve it?

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

No

#

Let me explain one last time

#

The log claims StarterContent/Architecture/Floor400x400 was saved with a newer engine version than what you have now running

#

It seems like you ran your project with a source build from a development branch, saved this asset with it, and then tried to open it in 4.25 or 4.24

#

This can't be done

#

So revert the change to Floor400x400 in your version control software, since it's in your project directory

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

ah okay

#

i copy all files from a different project made with the 4.25 version

#

think this will fix the issue

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

And then you can get yourself Git or Perforce or SVN

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

yea this is just an example project to test one small thing out

#

thought it is not neccesary

#

have you maybe an idea about the other bug?

#

where it cant find the plugin nodes

#

just weird because there is no issue in the blueprint of it

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

Dunno, way too many errors in that project tbh

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

mainly all are from one issue

#

that the nodes are not available during build

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

No idea

open rapids May 18, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

okay, thx anyways 🙂

#

helped me to find out the reason 🙂

after packaging, which files do i need to send to others? I have a 7 GB directory which contains also the project file which i normally dont want to send

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

Also, initially I tried packaging as development for standalone game but it didn't open the game when clicking on application ??

mellow bane May 18, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Use Dev or Shipping for packaging

#

Test is only avaialble in source

rare totem May 18, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Howdy folks.
My packaged game won't start, and the culprit might be because of this Epic plugin (says the log)
This is interesting, but how do I prevent that from happening without disabling the plugin in my project ?

which i'd like not to disable. It's pretty useful 🙂

vapid ice May 19, 2020, 7:02 AM

Hi guys, is it possible to package a game so the textures would be exposed in a folder and i could replace them?

mellow bane May 19, 2020, 7:14 AM

#

Remove the pak option and you'll end up with individual .uasset files for every file, including textures

#

They'll be uassets still, so DXT compressed textures with the UE4 file format on top

#

Depends on your definition of replacable

vapid ice May 19, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

That will do, thanks alot 🙂

onyx bay May 19, 2020, 3:10 PM

Does anyone know how to set the texture streaming pool to be higher on a packaged game? I can change it in editor using commands obviously but it all get's overridden in the final package meaning all of my textures become blurry.

mellow bane May 19, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

Change your scalability settings

#

Basically look at how BaseScalability.ini in engine config declares the pool size on each setting, copy these lines to your DefaultScalability.ini

onyx bay May 19, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

thank you ill check that out!

mellow bane May 19, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

And tweak them so that players can change the texture quality slider in your game and have the pool size driven by that

onyx bay May 19, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

cheers

#

hmmm my project doesn't have any Scalability .ini files anywhere that I can see

mellow bane May 19, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

BaseScalability is in engine

#

Default would be created by you

onyx bay May 19, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Oh ok. How should I structure my default file? Can I copy and paste the settings from the editor version and just alter the streaming pool size?

mellow bane May 19, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Just the settings you need

#

r.Streaming.PoolSize=400

[TextureQuality@1]
r.Streaming.PoolSize=600

...```

#

Copy the 0 1 2 3 & Cine versions and change them, should work fine

hey guys, anyone around have any tip to fully move a level with all its content to a plugin content folder to package as a DLC? any tip or trick around? i tried moving the folder and i tried migrating the level to the content folder of the plugin and copied all but didnt update the links of the assets to the new ones. Maybe if i copy to other project?.. i think i am answering my own question haha will update here if this work and help anyone else

Has anyone ever packaged a dedicated server for linux? I have built the editor from source and can package a windows dedicated server no problem. I have also confirmed that I have the correct cross compilation toolchain and I can build my project with the development server target for linux in visual studio no problem - but I get this when packaging the server for linux:

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well.
I'm having issues with UMG Widgets crashing my Android game after packaging and running on a Android device.
Now, I have tracked it down to the blueprint node "Play Animation Time Range".
(UE 4.24)

Anyone here got any ideas why this would occur?

Some more info:

It works in the editor and when launching on an android device via USB-cable, but when I package the project and test it on an android phone it crashes as soon as that node is executed.

The project was originally created in 4.20 and converted to 4.24.
(In 4.20 this animation worked flawlessly both in editor and after packaging to an android device.)

In 4.24 everything else works like a charm, except just this widget "Play Animation Time Range" seem to have issues.
I've tried changing it to the similar node "Play Animation" with the same unfortunate results.

Thanks!

Where is that file exactly ? Save files should be in Saved and won't be packaged

I removed it from there and It is still using the save in the packaged version

Did you package as Shipping or Development ?

delicate bough May 21, 2020, 7:02 PM

shipping
and checked "for distribution"

mellow bane May 21, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Then I think your problem is not that, because the contents of Saved are never packaged

delicate bough May 21, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

thats odd. In the game before you start it checks for if a save exists, if not then it askes for you to enter a name and then saves it to a savegame. The next time you enter the game it skips the enter name portion. but when I package it. it wont show the enter name portion and just goes to the main menu and if you check the settings it shows the name entered from the editor

mellow bane May 21, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

To be clear - you packaged the game (file -> package -> platform), wznt to the Windows folder where you packaged the game, launched it, and found this behavior ?

delicate bough May 21, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

Yes

mellow bane May 21, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

Check in %LOCALAPPDATA%/ProjectName/Saved to check the actual save files (you should clear this folder when you want to simulate a first installation)

okay I found the save files. and that has worked. Thank you!

The issue was that I had re-named it while somehow leaving the old asset behind.
I think I did a copy from one location to another, then renamed it in the new location, then started using it in that new location (while the old one somehow disappeared from the editor but was still on my filesystem).
Solution: delete the lingering unused files.

This is the correct way as far as I know. But it sees 0 assets when game is packaged with .pak file.

Not familiar with object library, I use the asset manager instead ; but looks correct. Check in the packaging logs for the full manifest to ensure files actually end up in the pak

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

It does, it is included during packaging

#

From what I see online, there is some path mismatch when .pak file kicks in

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

or LoadBlueprintsFromPath just loads Blueprints aka editor assets

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

And UObjectLibrary uses asset manager under the hood.

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

What's the path here ?

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

/Game/Blueprints/Entities

#

in my case

#

I am wondering though what packaged file adds to it and what is expected

#

As I said it works in all editor, standalone game build too, as long as it doesn't get packaged with .pak file

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

Should not change anything

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

I agree

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

I'd look at LoadBlueprintsFromPath not loading generated classes

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

I used asset manager directly before and then I switched to LoadBlueprintsFromPath, because asset manager failed the same way

#

Blueprints actually work well, it's just that I can't retrieve them from code side

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

Try this : IAssetRegistry& Registry = FModuleManager::LoadModuleChecked<FAssetRegistryModule>("AssetRegistry").Get(); Registry.SearchAllAssets(true); TArray<FAssetData> AssetList; Registry.GetAssetsByClass(AYourBlueprintClass::StaticClass()->GetFName(), AssetList, true); UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Assets found : %d"), AssetList.Num());

#

If that show 0, then your assets are likely not packaged

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

I've had this code before

#

exactly the same one

#

and 0

#

However I could see actors of that blueprints in the level

#

working with all their logic

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

Alright, then can you open the Paklist file in %APPDATA%\Unreal Engine\AutomationTool\Logs<version> ?

#

And triple check that these Blueprints are there ?

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

Where do I look for it if I have custom engine built

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

<Source build folder>\Engine\Programs\AutomationTool\Saved\Logs<version> IIRC

#

You're looking for PakList_Projectname-WindowsNoEditor.txt

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:41 AM

#

Yup

#

the are absolutely there

#

Although I am not sure if this is right, but their paths seem to look like:
"../../../MyProject/Content/Blueprints/Entities/BlueprintName.uasset"

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 11:45 AM

#

Then I have no idea why do you have this issue. In particular with the asset reg code above, i'm confident it will work perfectly fine in all releases with paks

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

I am thinking, how the hell can I debug it

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 12:14 PM

#

Try other classes

#

Registry.SearchAllAssets(true);
TArray<FAssetData> AssetList;
Registry.GetAssetsByClass(UStaticMesh::StaticClass()->GetFName(), AssetList, true);
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Assets found : %d"), AssetList.Num());```

#

And I guess then AActor, etc

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 12:28 PM

#

Guess what

#

Registry.GetAssetsByPath actually returns 6 assets in my directory

#

Which is 100% correct

#

How do I then retrieve UBlueprintGeneratedClass from FAssetData?

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

@slim pebble Asset.GetAsset() returns the asset as an UObject

#

I actually use UDataAsset myself rather than Blueprint, and IIRC BLueprint is a bit different

#

Just log the output of GetAsset()->GetClass()

#

I'm not sure if it's going to be UBlueprintGeneratedClass or (I think) the Blueprint class directly

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

Casting GetAsset()->GetClass() to UBlueprintGeneratedClass is nul

#

null

#

So GetAsset()->GetClass() name is "Blueprint"

#

and I can't spawn my actors using it.

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

So it's a UBlueprint

#

Call GetBlueprintClass() on it ?

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 12:57 PM

#

on that class?

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Cast<UBlueprint>(Asset.GetAsset())->GetBlueprintClass()

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Yeah, but is UBlueprint giving me possibility to then spawn actor using it/

#

?

#

Sorry, I am not very familiar with these interfaces

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

What I just wrote returns an UClass for use with SpawnActor etc

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Okay so, I cannot spawn anything using this class

#

It throws
LogSpawn: Warning: SpawnActor failed because BlueprintGeneratedClass is not an actor class

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Well, what's Cast<UBlueprint>(Asset.GetAsset())->GetBlueprintClass()->GetName()?

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

"BlueprintGeneratedClass"

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

Asset.GetAsset()->GetName() is a valid Bluerprint in your game right ?

#

Asset.AssetName should work too

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

Yeah

#

Asset.AssetName is correct

#

I just checked what is in Cast<UBlueprint>(Asset.GetAsset())->BlueprintDisplayName

#

and apparently, it's empty

#

THe name should go in after :

📎 unknown.png

#

Althought cast is valid because I did validity check and it passes

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

What was your parameter to GetAssetsByClass ?

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

I don't use this function

#

It always retuns 0 assets no matter what class

#

I use GetAssetsByPath

#

This is the only one that actually returns valid list of assets when I deal with pak files

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Alright so i'm thinking you didn't use the proper parameter, but that's a separate issue

#

Cast<UBlueprint>(Asset.GetAsset())->GeneratedClass.Get()->GetName() returns valid Blueprint class names for me

#

So Cast<UBlueprint>(Asset.GetAsset())->GeneratedClass.Get() should work for spawning

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

Wait I just found some issue here.

#

I'll be back in a few minutes, I'll tag you

#

So it works only for the few actors that are pure blueprints

#

but not for blueprints that derive from my own C++ actors classes

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

What's your code like now ?

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

Okay that GeneratedClass.Get() property works. Now what's left is to test it with pak files

#

@mellow bane wow, again, that stuff works in editor etc, but when game is packaged with pak file, all I get is:
LogUObjectGlobals: Warning: Failed to find object 'Object /Game/Blueprints/Entities/PlayerBase.PlayerBase

#

So it finds the assets, but it doesn't seem like they are ready or something. I placed a bunch of additional logs to see where that happens

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 1:56 PM

#

Maybe they aren't loaded.

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

As far as I know they are being loaded asynchronously, which would make sense.

#

But at the same time, I call that code during game mode StartPlay

#

So I believe everything is loaded up by that time

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 2:02 PM

#

Hard to understand more without the code, but well. In any case, what I personally do is use UDataAsset subclasses (and in-editor asset subclasses of those) for root content discovered in the asset registry. These assets have TSoftClassPtr<AMyClass> BlueprintClass pointers on it as UPROPERTY, so I can use the class picker in the content browser to assign Blueprints. I can subsequently do BlueprintClass.LoadSynchronous() and then SpawnActor(BlueprintClass.Get()).

#

Perk of this process is that you just need to package the data assets, used content will be linked automatically ; and you only load when needed.

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 2:03 PM

#


    for (FString& path : m_blueprintDirectories)
    {
        TArray<FAssetData> assets;
        Registry.GetAssetsByPath(FName(path), assets, true, false);

        UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Assets found in blueprints folder %s: %d"), *path, assets.Num());

        for (FAssetData asset : assets)
        {
            UObject* pAsset = asset.GetAsset();

            if (!IsValid(pAsset))
            {
                continue;
            }

            UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Found asset: %s"), *pAsset->GetName());

            UBlueprint* pBlueprint = Cast<UBlueprint>(pAsset);

            if (!IsValid(pBlueprint))
            {
                continue;
            }

            UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Found blueprint: %s"), *pBlueprint->GetName());
            
            UClass* pBlueprintClass = pBlueprint->GeneratedClass.Get();

            if (IsValid(pBlueprintClass))
            {
                UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Found blueprint class: %s"), *pBlueprintClass->GetName());

                FString className = asset.AssetName.ToString();
                UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Registering blueprint: %s"), *className);
            }
        }
    }```

#

That's all code I've got in there.

#

m_blueprintDirectories is list of paths, but really I only have one path at the moment.

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

Let me check something here

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

Sure

#

I just set up 20 seconds timer, just to eliminate timing, so I loaded these assets 20 seconds after game started. I failed the exact same way.

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Yeah I have the same issue. Warning: Failed to find object 'Object /Game/Gameplay/BP_GameMode.BP_GameMode'

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Yay, at least I'm sure that I didn't break it

#

Any clues? Can we consider this a bug?

#

Okay, so I just found my old project version from like 6 month ago, I don't remember exactly what engine version it used, I believe somewhere around 4.21. I had my game packaged and deployed WITH pak file. And it worked across all machines of the people that tried it. And that code about finding these blueprint classes hasn't changed in my codebase since then.

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

Which version is this ?

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

4.25

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

Yeah, me too. It's possible that it's a bug.

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

Have you got some older engine versions on your machine, so you could check it? Because I don't, and it will take ages before I download it

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

Nope

slim pebble May 22, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Crap, my old packaged version of the project was built on 4.20

#

(On 4.20) I deployed my project's Client and Server with server running on Linux machine in the cloud. All packaged using pak files.

Hey guys I have a question with regards to actual physical file size. If I have imported a 4K texture, but I have it set to be at a maximum in game resolution of 512x512, when I build my game will the texture be the size of the 4K source? Please @ if you respond

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

512

short aurora May 22, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

You’re saying the file will be the size of the reduced 512?

#

So you can import textures at any resolution?

mellow bane May 22, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

Yes

#

And yes, though IIRC 8K is opt-in, and more than 8K will be a virtual streamed texture

Hello everyone
Today wanted to package my project after adding some plugins and Discords GameSDK and got some errors, naturally i assumed it was cause by them.

So I created an empty project and was going to add the plugins one by one.
But when I built the Empty Project (ThirdPersonTemplate), before adding any of the plugins I got the same errors...
I have been able to package with this Engine version (4.25 built from source) before.
Here is the Output Log:
What I could gather from it is, that there might be a problem with my dependencies?
The HoloLens stuff does not make to much sense since I haven't touched any of that, at least to my knowledge...
Ps: concerning the Error for the Windows assembly, the referenced file is present in that path.

@burnt lion The engine folder should only be 20MB on PC. If it's bigger you might have PDB files there - these are safe to remove, there's a "debug symbols" option in packaging settings IIRC

I ran into a weird error today where upon packaging the build completes successfully but the resulting .exe when run doesn't open at all. Scoured the forums a bit and saw some people with similar errors that were fixed by disabling Avast which I am not running but have tried disabling my own firewalls and antivirus with no success. Also checked the .exe on other computers and result is the same. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the unreal prerequisites and checking I had VS .NET up to date cause saw that mentioned somewhere too. If anyone has encountered this before and either found a solve or can give me an avenue to look down that would be appreciated as I am at a bit of a loss.
