could it be because of this line?
"Detected compiler newer than Visual Studio 2017, please update min version checking in WindowsPlatformCompilerSetup.h"

#

I installed 2017 and I changed the settings here but it didn't make that line go away
Go to Edit->Project Settings-> Platforms-> Windows -> Toolchain ->CompilerVersion

@open rapids AArch64 is just for Android phones/tablets that were flashed with a Linux distro, so there is no market at all for that "platform", it's maybe 1000 people worldwide

#

That, and ARM laptops running Linux, which is a ridiculously small market too

#

It's not new tech, it's just Linux on a phone.

@buoyant thunder Deleting intermediate folder (and regenerating uproject + recompiling usually fixes this error

buoyant thunder Aug 12, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

@mellow bane Thank you, I'll give deleting the intermediate folder a try,
what do you mean regenerating uproject?

mellow bane Aug 12, 2020, 5:50 AM

Right click uproject -> regenerate project files

why does my editor keep cooking everything completely over and over again

like I make an xbox build, it cooks like 7000 packages, I add a log to the code, redeploy, and it has to cook 7000 packages again

@mellow bane That explains a LOT on why Steam won't even compile with it. Guess I am missing nothing packaging my game for it.

I am packaging the default templates from Architectural Visualization and am getting this warning when using the Project Launcher to make a DLC:
LogSavePackage: Warning: /Patch1/NewMap imported Serialize:/Engine/BasicShapes/Sphere, but it was never saved as an export.
How do I mark it for export? I have checked Include Engine Content in the profile but it still produces a very small pak file of 100kb

#

Am i supposed to copy these to my own content directory?

#

This is dumb, I replaced all references to those objects that are in /Engine/ to my own plugin's content folder and then it worked. Shouldn't that checkbox handle this for me?

#

Is there a way to migrate my map so that it just includes all the assets used in it and pulls it out of the Engine folder? I tried migrating but it only moved the Map and BuildData file

I'm trying to blacklist my project's DLC plugin so that the file is only included when I put the pak file in the directory myself. That way I can auth a DLC.
I try PakBlacklist-Development.txt in Build\WindowsNoEditor to exclude ../../Plugins/DLC but it still gets included in the pak files...

#

am I doing something wrong?

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

I think there are settings to exclude folders direvtly in packaging settings

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

@mellow bane OK Thanks, so now in umodel it shows the content in the plugin pak and not in the main pak. But it's not auto mounting when I drop the plugin pak into the main pak dir?

#

Im playing a sound when it detects a blank actor from the plugin and it doesn't play when I drop the plugin pak in

#

the empty plugin folder is still detected in the main pak so doesnt that mean it should auto mount?

#

With all the paks together, umodel shows the correct plugin content as present. But ingame it's not spawning the blank actor to play my test sound like in editor

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Depends how you auto detect the pak I guess

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Are there settings for that somewhere? I thought it just amalgamates all valid paks in the pak folder

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

IIRC it does, but you said "playing a sound when it detects a blank actor from the plugin" so I'm wodnering what you used for that

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

In base game as a test, i have it spawn a blank actor from the plugin content dir, and if it's valid it just loops a sound so I know

#

plays sound in editor of course, and when I exclude the plugin from base pak it shows plugin folder empty in umodel, seems good, and then I pak the plugin and it has the content in umodel. I then put the plugin pak in the base game pak dir and expect it to play the sound but it doesn't

#

when I put the plugin pak in the base game, umodel shows the plugin content present

#

so I'm trying to figure out why the game isn't recognizing the actor from the plugin content when it's visible in umodel?

#

If I pak the base game without excluding the plugin, sound plays fine

#

I'm just trying to use a plugin pak file to auth enable a dlc that I'm implementing in the base game for simplicity

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

"i have it spawn a blank actor from the plugin content dir" - how ?

#

Using the asset registry ?

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

Gotcha. No just a bp setup

📎 unknown.png

#

Checking if class from plugin content dir is valid

#

here you can see I loop sound if so

📎 unknown.png

#

I was trying spawning actor earlir but looks like now just valid class check

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

So how do you get the class

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

The class is hard ref'd in the map's default values (1st pic on right)

#

which might be the issue

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

It is

#

References to un-packaged content will be nulled

#

DLC can't undo that

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

I see, that makes sense... I was hoping for a simple pak file unlock. Do you have any better suggestion?

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

Using the asset registry to discover content in your DLC instead

#

Well, no

#

Using asset registry to discover content

#

DLC or not, it doesn't matter

#

New content will appear in the AR and that's it

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

OK I think I understand, so basically the AR will update correctly, so I should just check if the plugin's unlock asset is present in the AR? Hopefully the explicit check for the asset won't get nulled too, I will try

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

Of course it will

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

hmm

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:14 PM

#

Forget about DLC logic in your game and just discover content

#

Want weapons, find all subclasses of BP_My_Weapon

#

Want levels, find all levels

#

Use data assets if you want a generalization of that

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

Sounds like I need to use a data asset think how I would use that to unlock the ability to change PC's color

#

OK right just make a child asset with that new feature and replace I think

#

does that sound right?

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

You can add a data asset with the new color information and find that

#

Though DLC is meant for actual content, more than opt-in features

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

Well it is DLC so that kind of makes sense. Really I just want a bool and to implement it all in the base game

#

I'll need to look more into how to use data assets

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

DLC is downloadable content, not pay-for-features

#

You should be able to simply query the DLC state on Steam

How to check for DLC on Steam (C++ Tutorial)

I recently had the pleasure to do a simple check if a DLC is owned and installed. This took more effort than it should. Not only is the documentation out of date, but there are also little to no tu…

#

Example is for Steam but other stores likely offer same feature

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

Thanks very much, I considered that but also want to know how I would do it for a console release

#

I may end up doing just steam for now though since console probably has similar specific checks

mellow bane Aug 13, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Worth mentioning that game features as DLC is something likely to be received terribly by players

#

I mean even paid DLC isn't common for small indies since players hate it, but if it's real content, why not

latent zephyr Aug 13, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

Yeah for sure, I'm just thinking as a crowdfunding reward being able to have a ship of a different color would be quick and easy

#

Could implement as a new ship model of course but just figured could set color dynamically

#

I'll give it some more thought though

yes, they are composite plane , shaders, which are used to do the composition,

on the plane.

So does the material compile in editor when you open and check it ?

yes editor is working fine

standalone is fine too, but was not able to test for Exe, as it is not packaging

ah i see now

when opened the shader, i realised a mistake that i did few weeks, back, i was doing some changes in the hlsl code, and forget to complete that, got distracted with some other stuff, and as i was directly making changes to plugin shader, it got reflected to all of the projects. @mellow bane thanks mate

@hazy goblet composure seems in general not ready for a packaged build.
I had the same error and only could work arround it by not using the Media_Plate.
Sady thats not the end of the problems

Even the CG render layer relay on the ActorLayerUtilities to filter what to render ... ending in

i have seen some bug reports related to this but they are all slated for 4.26 with may come out this fall. not very good for planning a active project

@red stirrup yeah, i have removed the MediaPlate now and using composite plane + keying with the composite plane, but keying is not that good.

I hope they resolve this soon.

Hi, i have a project i'm working on with 1 other person. So far everything has worked - but we were using maps made of placeholder objects. Today i reworked the first map, adding models, lights, etc. Everything's fine on my computer, but when he syncronized the repository he told me there was no light at all. The map is entirely black. Our repository has a .gitignore that ignores the build data file, so it's to be expected that it didnt syncronize that, but rebuilding lighting does not change anything for him. On top of that, if i export the game, i also have the same issue.
When i click to build lighting i get an error that says "Map needs lighting rebuilt".
Any idea what is going on?

Edit: for some reason disabling auto exposure caused the exposure to be so dark in the built version that it looked completely black. No clue why that happened, but at least the game is salvageable lmao

and of course this happens 10 hours before the game jam's deadline 😰

#

On top of that, he said some AI npcs misbehave on the exported version, I havent been able to test that. Might be spaghetti code, but why it's only happening in the exported version is another mystery.

Debug game gives you access to a lot more debug stuff

Nativization sucks

#

It's a common packaging problem, if you are using it, use it only for the Blueprints that you know cause performance problems

plain lodge Aug 19, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

stupid question. I saw that there is like an outside of editor tool / frontend thingy to package projects. Where can I find this tool?

#

And does anyone have any good tutorials on it?

mellow bane Aug 19, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

Look in the binaries (exe files, not dll) in your engine binary folder, there aren't that many

#

Though personally I use RunUAT directly which is what does packaging

plain lodge Aug 19, 2020, 9:59 AM

#

so it seems I'm looking for UnrealFrontend.exe

#

which should be in binaries/win64

#

but it's not there?

#

any idea why not? o_O

No idea, never used it

Hi. So I'm trying to package my project, previously the resolution is fine. But now when i play my game , the resolution and everything has been scaled down and it looks pixelated. I've checked the settings , and I've made sure the scalability setting in currently in EPIC , but the packaged game seems to run under MEDIUM or LOW setting. Any idea what would cause that? I don't remember changing any of the .ini file in the engine/project folder

mint leaf Aug 19, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Check the ini files and or render resolution?

warped spire Aug 19, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Not sure if this is the correct spot but does anyone know if it's possible to have the Unreal Frontend Tool export a profile as a command line, command?

#

Would be nice to see the underlying command it's actually using when running a profile

queen magnet Aug 20, 2020, 12:50 AM

I've checked those and it's the same values that I had before.. I've even copy pasted the ini files from a backup version of the project

@mellow bane if they are pointless then why are we able to make them? (actually curious, not being a dick)

mellow bane Aug 21, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

The most obvious reason is that DLC is pretty much just the patch system

#

Also consoles require it, and some PC stores that I haven't worked with like UPlay or EA's or things like that might not have modern updating mechanisms

#

Also historical

#

Also before itch.io was a thing, distributing updates to playtesters was not fun and patches helped there

However when i try packaging it fails to do so with ExitCode 5.

I'm pretty sure this is the issue but i don't know what i might need to do in order to resolve this and there also seem to be a bunch of other errors.

this gives different errors but still works perfectly fine in editor: https://pastebin.com/b4v6Dh2N

Is someone around who can help for a little bit? I have a BIG problem. I need to package our game for an already late publisher deadline and I ran into an issue I dont know how to solve:

The game packages fine, but it doesnt package some of the data assets, yet it does package others form the same folder. They are all in use in the map from the start.

How can I fix this?

Okay, So I've been asking about this multiple times, I Just realized I never asked here in packaging; Anybody know what the magic voodoo is to make pak file chunking work in 4.25? Project uses PrimaryAssetLabels, Zero changes from 4.24 -> 4.25, except teh 4.25 build just does not make anything other than one chunk.

Here is the other thread in #ue4-general where I had one response, but nothing after that:
https://discordapp.com/channels/187217643009212416/225448446956404738/746211160042373151

So, yes ALL settings are un changed, chunking is enabled, asset labels are setup correctly (they have been for over a year in this project, and worked with both 4.22 and 4.24)

The Asset Audit even lists all the chunks.
But; at packaging time, it only creates one pak, and everything gets put into it. It uses the actual pakchunk naming, instead of the non-chunk naming as well, it just ONLY creates chunk0, and everything is put in there.

I'm running the editor on Windows, but I'm targeting a Linux Server build and I have some problems with packaging the project. If I choose to nativize any blueprints, the editor generates the files in UTF-16 format which the Linux build doesn't like, causing it to fail with a bytewise encoding issue. I've read online that this happens if your blueprint contains non-ASCII characters, but I have gone through the blueprints and I cannot see any non-ASCII characters in there

yeah okay so assetlabels are just broken in 4.25.
they don't respect dependencies anymore either.
just having them existing; if they're set recursive, forcecs everything in the subfolder to package, even when it's not supposed to.
ie: having an assetlabel for a map (or just for a folder), to throw it into another chunk. <4.25, if the map isn't in the cook list, it won't cook it, but 4.25 everything cooks, always regardless of cook rule.
same goes for other folders; it would only cook referenced content, not the entire folder.
plus added into that, the fact that it still wont' actually make more than chunk0.

does epic test anything?

Given these errors trying to package on windows, it says incredibuild is installed, I have no idea what it is and did not install it, could that be the cause of the issue?

@granite pulsar Is this building the lights for you? Took suspiciously short time to package and lightning should've taken 30 minutes for me...

mellow bane Sep 1, 2020, 3:11 PM

You build lighting from the editor, not at packaging time

Packaging has little reason to take more than a few minutes after the first run

Are custom engine builds of Unreal Engine - or I.E. - when you take the source code off of the website - already built with debugging symbols in place?

mellow bane Sep 1, 2020, 3:14 PM

When you compile the engine from source the symbols are created locally

its moreso that I seem to crash more without any information in the callstack in the custom engine build vs the launcher engine

That's a perfectly fine callstack here

#

If incomplete

abstract escarp Sep 1, 2020, 3:21 PM

#

well, what happens is that I crash out the game but no crash log appears

#

reason I posted here is because this is during a packaged build

mellow bane Sep 1, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

If it's a shipping build then there are no logs

#

Callstacks and logs are unrelated

#

Just debug it in VS

abstract escarp Sep 1, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

yea the debugger doesn't help

#

doesn't point to anywhere in my code

#

it only says it is a part of RunnableTasks

which is threaded - and I am guessing has to debugged another way

mellow bane Sep 1, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

No, the debugger is fine

#

You just need to investigate in depth what happens

#

And of course you should check that you're running the right source version

#

Master builds are unstable

abstract escarp Sep 1, 2020, 3:26 PM

hmm, yea it could be off of an earlier source version of 4.24, like 4.24.1 when I Should update it with 4.24.3

yes.

you can just put all your logic in the MainMenu level BP

you can make an array of sessions and select which one to join if you want to test multiple servers

Hello guys, I'm struggling with cooking my content using custom set of maps defined. I run UAT command using BuildCookRun, then I specify list of maps to include using map= parameter. The deal is when I pass like 100 maps to cook everything is just fine. But once I exceed the threshold of around 100 maps there is an error little while after executing script:

AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=25 (Error_UnknownCookFailure)
BUILD FAILED

All I need to do is remove enough maps to make it cook again. Is there a limit of maps you can cook at a time? If so, why? Doesn't make any sense to me.
(I've searched through logs and there is no error whatsoever)

I've also tried to cook those maps using Project Launcher where you can select cook By The Book and choose which maps should be cooked. Exactly same result.

Does anyone encountered similar issue with map cooking?

granite pulsar Sep 3, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

path is probably too long.

#

i wrote a tool to modify the defaultgame.ini packaging settings for that

#

so the list just goes in the normal way.

silk mesa Sep 3, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

Hmmm how would I reduce path length then?

granite pulsar Sep 3, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

by not adding hundreds of maps on the command line

silk mesa Sep 3, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

Is there a way to cook maps in separate calls? Cause all of the maps are utilized in game

granite pulsar Sep 3, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

if they're all utilized

#

then just add them to the ini

#

"maps to cook"

silk mesa Sep 3, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

I have paths specified in my ini file: +MapsToCook=... but despite those settings, all of my maps are being cooked into build

#

E.g. I have directory with TestMaps which is not included in my ini file yet they are available to access using ~ -> open LevelName

granite pulsar Sep 3, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

as long as you don't have -allmaps on the command line..

#

it will follow the mapstocook list

silk mesa Sep 3, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

No, I don't use asset labels

granite pulsar Sep 3, 2020, 10:30 AM

#

are your maps in the default /Game/Maps location?

#

because that folder is tracked by the asset manager (the same thing asset labels use)

#

by default

#

which may be why they're all being included

#

you can remove that folder and test though

silk mesa Sep 3, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

Yes they are. Interesting. So I might try to move all unnecesary maps out of the deafult directory?

granite pulsar Sep 3, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

under settings -> asset manager

#

as i just realized in my main project, I don't use the default path, due to organization, and it ONLY packages the maps in +MapsTocook for me

#

so it's the only other thing I can think of

silk mesa Sep 3, 2020, 10:31 AM

I see, will give it a shot and report back

@granite pulsar just letting you know, after some more investigation it appears not all maps have been included. BUT.

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:48 PM

Your game will normally be deployed by a platform that runs installers for you

#

Steam, GOG, etc

#

No installer needed in this day and age

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

Thanks a lot @open rapids, very useful info. I've another question: should the installer that you meant also include the game itself or only the extra things that I need?

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

Which platform are you shipping for ?

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Thank you @mellow bane, I was about to ask for steam because I remembered it has options for redestributables etc

#

Only windows for now

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

If you're on Steam installers are 100% not a good idea

#

Like, do not use them

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

I'm using Itch as temporary platform right now

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Just put your game package up and tick the correct boxes

#

On Itch, you need to include the redistriutable exec and ask people to run it, or use an installer for all of those 12 people using Itch

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

Without installer, all runs ok but I didn't included prerequisites which cause trouble on some PC

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

There is no need to even include that executable on Steam.

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

Ok. Now that I think of, Itch has a sort of batch file called .itch.toml that could be capable of run the prereq installer

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

And you shouldn't use an installer on Itch either

#

Unless you like full-game-redownload updates

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

Oh, steam doesn't need it? Good to know

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

Steam will ask you which VS version was built and whether you need the DX redist (yes)

#

UE4 has no further requirements

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

I don't use an installer on Itch, just the packaged game. But I was thinking of runnning the installer for the prereqs before starting the game through the toml file

#

So that the user hasn't to manually install it (if that can be done, of course XD)

#

Yes, they are

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

People not using the Itch client don't care about running a redist installer once

#

And frankly no one uses Itch in the first place

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

The game is designed to be runned from the Itch app, otherwise it will hang at startup

#

As I said, it's a temporary solution to distribuite keys, the game will move on some other platform later

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

Probably not a great idea either but anyway, just put your entire game package up, keep the redist installer on Itch, if you care about the itch audience you can script the redist installer running on the client, and tell non-client-using users to run it

#

Same thing on GOG except it's much easier and GOG is a real platform

#

Steam is much easier

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

I never used others platform until now, but we choosed Itch at the moment only because we need only private testing, it's free and simple to share with our testers

#

Surely will move on other platforms in the future, probably Steam

#

Thanks for the info anyway

mellow bane Sep 4, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

Itch is perfect for internal testing, I use it too !

violet nest Sep 4, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

Yep, totally agree

granite pulsar Sep 4, 2020, 7:58 PM

#

if someone is using steam to install your game, it's like 99% probable they already havet he prerequisites.

#

and you can just, if you weant to be safe, tick the redistributables in the steam settings.

alright ill see

granite pulsar Sep 5, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

packaging is make binaries + cook + package the cooked content

#

cook is just cook.

#

usually for debugging from the editor, you'd just cook.

#

to use a non-editor config

#

and if it takes you more than 12 hours to package a project, something is seriously wrong

It packages okay, but i have a map which crashes in Standalone process or packaged, but runs fine in PiE

how do I add/properly configure UE4 prerequisistes to my build?
I have this enabled in my project launcher settings but upon testing the game on a fresh pc, It's not prompting to install them automatically

and if I check my build output, I don't get redist folders packaged in Engine/binaries/ThirdParty

@knotty valve I dotn think pre-reqs gets auto setup unless you run it in your installer

I think the binary for UE4 prereqs in is Engine/Binaries somewhere tho

I've made a test game and it runs smoothly within the Unreal Editor and also when played in a separate window (also from the unreal engine) . But after pack and run the game from the .exe its Lags . Lag is slightly reduced when i exit fullscreenmode and playtest it in a windowed mode , but the performance is not same as what I had in the editor .

Know any fix to this ?

@granite pulsar you had a simliar issue right? Did you solve it ?

Usually means you are depending on an editor module

Like UnrealEd etc

Jeah but that would be some of the plugins for the project i don´t know which does it. I try to solve it with the standard error solving routines but no luck yet.

mellow bane Sep 6, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

So look at which dependencies you have in your build.cs if any, additional dependencies in uproject, and dependencies of plugins in your project folder

#

Sometimes this is also caused by putting plugins in the engine folder which you shouldn't do

plain cosmos Sep 6, 2020, 4:31 PM

I think here it would be the opposite - i did put them in the project folder whereas they where in the engine plugins folder before

Jeah i guessed / me too

granite pulsar Sep 6, 2020, 9:36 PM

and i made a tool, so that i can swap my configs.

#

so at build time, it replaces parts of the .target

#

the .uproject stays linked to my binary engine (for source control reasons, so it never has to change)

#

and then i just run a pre-build step, that updates any configs + targets

#

and then kick off uat from the source.

Hi Hi! Having some issues with building. I've done some searching for the past couple of hours, but have come up empty handed. I've worked through several issues already, but stuck on this last one. Can anyone clue me into why this build is failing? The only thing I see is BP_DemoRoom stuff failing to compile (but this is from an asset on the marketplace that is labeled at 4.25 compatible, and I didn't touch the assets. It continues to compile after it throws up those errors, so I don't know if that's preventing it from building. From what I found in google, someone said it might be issues with the build.cs file, but I don't know enough about packaging to be able to resolve this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

does anyone know how you get the project launcher to generate a .manifest file for your mobile DLC?
I've tried checking the http chunk generation stuff and giving it a path, but nothing is ever output to that directory. my DLC is set up as a plugin with content in it, and it does manage to create a pak file.

sonic stratus Sep 7, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

hi all, so I don't want almost all of the engine content, but there's one specific asset I want to include. Is there a way I can whitelist that while still having "exclude editor content when cooking" enabled?

burnt remnant Sep 7, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

I suspect copying it into your project is the best option there

sonic stratus Sep 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

@burnt remnant ahhh damn, I was hoping there wasn't - it's referenced with a hard coded path in a plugin that I ideally didn't want to modify, but I guess I'll have to.

burnt remnant Sep 7, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

ah I see. that's a tough question then. and a good one.

#

plugins with hard-coded asset paths have given me a world of grief. you often can't replace or move the referenced assets.

granite pulsar Sep 7, 2020, 1:04 AM

#

just

#

delete the demo rooms.

#

and the demoroom bp's

#

you have nativize blueprints turned on, and looks like multiple demorooms

#

the marketplace stuff is stupid sometimes.

#

@subtle crown

#

you have other issues, probably from renaming/moving things and not fixing up redirectors, or just deleting, but they aren't critical <yet>

#

but start with nuking the demo crap from all of the marketplace stuff.

Unreal Viewport testing is faster and smooth, but after packing a test build and running the .exe its slower and choppy. know why ?

granite pulsar Sep 7, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

try profiling. likely it's just because in the editor you're running at a lower quality level, or, because the resolution is lower.

#

and it will default (unless you actually change ini settings) to highest quality of everything.

boreal dragon Sep 7, 2020, 2:51 AM

Newbie here , where can i find the .ini config file for the package build ?

which .ini file should i edit to decrease the resolution of the package build ?

Resolution should be up to the player in a settings menu

Profile your gamle if you have perf issues

boreal dragon Sep 7, 2020, 4:13 AM

There isn't much of a game , take the First Person template for example . It runs smoothly within the viewport (full screen , and windowed) but after packaging it gets choppy and feels like fps drops.

mint leaf Sep 7, 2020, 5:14 AM

@subtle crown did you get it fixed, some stuff I noticed. There are some missing files throwing some errors, but it looks like BP demoroom has some issues (try turning off BP nativisation) and see. Also removing the file and references would probably help

subtle crown Sep 7, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

@mint leaf Disabling nativization fixed the issue and it's now able to compile, any idea why nativization is breaking it?

mint leaf Sep 7, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

Its buggy at the best of times, but certain nodes dont nativize properly

granite pulsar Sep 7, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

.. lol did you miss everything I said?

#

it's because tehre are DUPLICATE assets

#

which is why i said nuke the demo stuff.

#

i gues i wasn't clear.

#

marketplace content creates a lot of extra residue, that needs to be cleaned up to properly package things.

mint leaf Sep 7, 2020, 6:01 AM

#

I mean tbh you should work in a test project and migrate stuff

mellow bane Sep 7, 2020, 6:01 AM

@subtle crown Nativization is best left unused.

best is jus don't use blueprint

@zenith musk if you already built it, subsequent builds will be much faster cause it dosen't have to re cache all the assets that are done

Check the packaging options, there used to be a "region" thing where you'd package for a particular region, including or excluding asian countries

So i assume if i would use that script it will take the package settings from the editor packaging settings?

mellow bane Sep 7, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

Some are command-line specific, but yeah

#

My advice is to package from the editor once and look at the UAT command line in the output log

#

Since again the editor just calls UAT

#

You can then reproduce that command line in a script, change whatever you need etc

Hello, I'm trying to package a project (MyProject) that relies on a plugin (MyPlugin). MyPlugin depends on the ThirdParty dll file (MyFile.dll). When I attempt to package MyProject, MyFile.dll is being placed inside MyProject/Plugins/MyPlugin/Binaries/Win64/MyFile.dll and so MyProject.exe won't run. I can manually copy MyFile.dll into MyProject/Binaries/Win64 to make it work, but I am hoping to find a way for the copy to happen automatically. Do you good people have any advice?

Hi. Just wish to ask is if possible to remote build from a Mojave MAC to a Catalina MAC for iOS dev? I need to do that as I’m in a lab condition and I can’t update all the macs to Catalina due to compatibility issue to other software. I could set up one single MAC as a Catalina machines with the right Xcode version. Just wondering would this work.

#

Would doing this allow me to have all the dev to remain in their Mojave machines?

Hello, I have a default game project that is blueprint only. inside the base directory I add the Plugins directory in which I place my freshly packaged plugin. Than I navigate to File -> PackageProject -> Windows (64) and it packages ok (meaning there are no errors and it succeeds ), but when I try to open the testProject.exe it won't even start loading. The log says this is because the PluginManager is unable to load TimeSynth Plugin which my plugin relies on... I would be grateful for any advice as to what I did wrong with my plugin setup. Also, everything works fine if I try to package from a new c++ project. It is only the blueprint only one which causes trouble...

don't "rebuild" if your project is attached to a source engine build. for some reason it blew away the engine build and started over.

if none of your maps/assets that are being built, don't hold any references to something, it isn't included.

it seems the file SharedPCH.Core.h.pch is missing and i dont know where it comes from

also do you think having a windows user folder name with special characters can cause problems for UE4?

granite pulsar Sep 13, 2020, 2:05 AM

yeah it can.

so can long base paths

i make sure nothing is in program files, or the user directory for that reason. never seen that sharedpch error before though.

ty i'll try to change the path for my UE projects and see if it changes anything, will be better anyway

Thanks @burnt remnant .... It's not about it being intimadating. It's about not having to pay for the licence at work .... Since everything we are doing in blueprint, there is no justification for the purchase.

I have it installed on my personal PC :)

granite pulsar Sep 14, 2020, 12:13 PM

Use community.

#

You dont need to install vs itself though. You can install the build tools.

#

Its what you would need to use if you were to use vscode

#

Its in the same download page.

#

(The build tools)

#

In fact, you can even use the VS installer and only install msbuild+tools if you really are concerned about the licensing.

Hello guys! I have another question for you. We use Substance as a engine plugin for a project that now we need to build with Jenkins

#

Our steps are to clone the engine github repo and next we build it from Jenkins.
When we try to build from command line (jenkins) our Project with the previously builded engine, we encounter the error "Unable to find Substance".

So, that machine is a build machine, how we can resolve that issue? Maybe we need to move the Substance plugin from engine to Project?

Is there an easy way to estimate building times? Im planning on developing with ue for multiple platforms (ps, xbox, switch, pc) but the proyect is still too early to actually build anything and estimate the final time

Does anyone have any experiencing getting their mobile game on the android play store?
I upload my .abb that I packaged via android studio , but when they test it says no obb found no key store for downloading?

@wheat wave

Same problem for me with UE 4.5.3 generated abb. I don't understand how to upload generated obb to the store. Did anyone succeed ?

@brittle geyser it depends on a lot of things, I have modelled some data for different projects but it depends

@mint leaf what ? If you talk about store key, I followed all instructions

generate key with C:\Users\User>keytool -genkey -v -keystore arcade_petitbonheur.keystore -alias arcade_petitbonheur_key -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
placing in Build/Android folder

is there anything that needs to be done to pack a game when a c++ plugin doesnt want to show up or be found during packing of the game? For some reason my packed game cant find the c++ gravity plugin, but it compiles fine and it works in the game in the editor https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/755581562799521813/757795588023648426/unknown.png

it probably says there is an error

Hello guys! Question: I was wondering how can I create a AR project and package it in a way to integrate it to a already existing mobile application. I my case a client want to add a new "AR" mini-game into an existing IOS/Android app.

Okay, So I've talked about this a lot; but nobody has seemed to have an answer (yet!);
Something changed in 4.25, but I cannot figure out what it was (So many commits, and i'm not sure where to narrow it down) I have two Issues, both related, but covering one first;
First Issue: When I "Package" from binary editor, it makes all manifests + Pak Chunks correctly.
RunUAT.bat -ScriptsForProject=Path\To\Project.uproject BuildCookRun -nocompileeditor -installed -nop4 -project=Path/To/Project.uproject -cook -stage -archive -archivedirectory=D:/UETEMP -package -ue4exe=Path\To\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor-Win64-DebugGame-Cmd.exe -pak -prereqs -manifests -targetplatform=Win64 -build -target=CSGame -clientconfig=Development -utf8output

However, issuing RunUAT using the SAME parameters via the source version (with a couple ommitted, since they don't apply to building from source) it ONLY makes one manifest and pakchunk0.
RunUAT.bat -ScriptsForProject=Path\To\Project.uproject BuildCookRun -nop4 -project=Path\To\Project.uproject -cook -stage -archive -archivedirectory=D:/UETEMP -package -pak -prereqs -manifests -targetplatform=Win64 -build -target=CSGame -clientconfig=Development -utf8output

With 4.24, 4.22 and 4.19, it didn't matter which version of the engine was doing it; both will create the chunks.

Second Issue: When Asset Labels that are setup for a folder (tagging all assets to be able to have a unique pakId) are used, EVERY asset is being included in 4.25 even if they are not referenced by any of the maps, or the "force include" list.

#

binary editor = installed build, built from the same source folder.

#

i have to package from source, because of Unique compile environments in the .target.cs for the shipping versions (setting defines, etc).

wary apex Sep 25, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Since each platform sets up software differently I would imagine you'd have to build each platform individually, though desktop does the 3 main options I think that's the closest you can get

You do, you also need to install all the requisite toolchains

@open rapids 32bit is like.. dying out.

UE4 actually shipped without 32 bit support originally

#

IIRC

open rapids Sep 26, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

@harsh cosmos definitely not many people still use it and a lot of laptops still have it

#

btw just go project settings> all settings> target 32bit and tick it and package it

People using a 32b OS today don't even get security updates, 7 and XP are EOL

Unless you're running a 32b version of Windows 8 of all systems 😄

open rapids Sep 26, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

i have family that wanna play the game and they only have 32bit and many other people that use itch also have 32bit, so why not take the extra 5 minutes to package for 32bit too?

mellow bane Sep 26, 2020, 6:44 AM

Because you should spend those 5 minutes telling them to use a system that is not completely compromised by every hacker on Earth
