packaging

[mellow bane]

You are using a plugin called GoogleAnalytics, that is not available on that platform, or failed to load, or doesn't exist

[neon rivet]

yeah but if I disable it it says: (2 sec)

@mellow bane

[mellow bane]

Sounds like you actually use it

[neon rivet]

so how can I fix it?

@mellow bane

[mellow bane]

Maybe try to understand the problem first, what do you use GA for, do you actually want it, why is it not working ?

[neon rivet]

Idk it is not really my project

and the stupid part it it doesn't work with the plugin on

is there any way so see where is it refrenced

it is saying in the .uproject @mellow bane

[neon rivet]

and if I say false or delete the block it says the replied message

@mellow bane

And BTW sorry for annoying you

but you're my only hope for this

[mellow bane]

There is no need to keep tagging me if you have no new information on the issue - you need to actually understand what you're doing here and get a lot more detail. There is simply no way to help you with anything here because there is zero information whatsoever

For example, upload the full packaging log on pastebin, to start with

And confirm whether your current platform is supported by this plugin

[neon rivet]

it is really old

it is "not for sale" in the ue4 market

and it only says it is referenced in the .uproject

[mellow bane]

I've explained what you need to share, so I'll wait for that information

[neon rivet]

ok

[neon rivet]

@mellow bane https://pastebin.com/dyHAhg00

and yes the plugin is fine with windows

[mellow bane]

Which platform are you compiling for

Where did you install the plugin

[mint leaf]

my guess is its a missing thing in build.target.cs, module/engine incompatibility

but until he gives people the info they need to debug, he probably wont get so far

[neon rivet]

@mellow bane Sorry for the delay! https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/google-analytics-plugin

that is the link for it on the marketplace

I am using 4.20.3 for it so it is OK! 🙂

And the platform I am packaging is windows

[mellow bane]

So install it in the project directory

[neon rivet]

how to? like I have a "Plugins" folder

in the project folder

[mellow bane]

Yes, there

[neon rivet]

yeah it is done

look it is the first one

and in it's binaries it says:

[mellow bane]

So try to compile in VS and see what happens

[neon rivet]

???

Is this what I need?

[mellow bane]

That first, and then compile in VS

Assuming the project has C++

Or the plugin

[neon rivet]

look if I don the first one

[mellow bane]

Which platform are you compiling for

[neon rivet]

win64

[mellow bane]

So you can't package the project for Windows ?

[neon rivet]

yeah it says the error that I sent

it is in the log from pastebin too 🙂

[mellow bane]

Suspecting your project needs to be C++ to package C++ plugins here

[neon rivet]

I think it is BP

cause all the stuff in the project is like "BP_Object"

[mellow bane]

Yes, I'm saying your project might need to be a C++ project for this to work. Other than that, no idea

[neon rivet]

off

Yeah

How to make it C++ project

ok

I will try! Thanks!

I will tell you the result

Okay, I'll have a look into it, also anything in the log that could potentially stop the build also? thank you very much!

[mint leaf]

quite a few bits 🙂 just read through

[mellow bane]

No idea what's happening here, try recreating the project and migrating the content and copying settings.

[neon rivet]

look maybe I can change something in this?

I tried migrate it is just not working

like the windows are missing and like everything is sh*t

[astral ice]

Please can anyone Help or have an Idea

[rare relic]

Reading the message, looks like there's a problem with the Building BP asset, specifically the mesh/collider attached to it, but you've cut the error message off so it's impossible to know for sure.
Try rebuilding the collision for the static mesh.

[radiant pond]

Hi there, is somewhere a Tutorial how to set up a Game for Steam? I found after 2 hours search a 2 year old one

[mellow bane]

Should be the same

Steam backend didn't change much, nor did Unreal

Set up your Steam repo, do file -> package in Unreal, upload to Steam

[devout wind]

hey guys

i successfuly relreased my game on itch.io

is there a proper process on how to make a steam thing so i can release it on steam? it's single player

[winged moss]

"make a steam thing"?

if it's single player, has no DRM, and doesn't integrate any online features, then you could just upload the same build

[devout wind]

oh snap that's cool

i'll start w the steam page

and make it perfect then upload and annoy valve w my build

[vapid coral]

im getting an error everytime I try to package

[wise cliff]

hi! my issue more than with packaging comes with the installed version.

I've done a installer for my game and in the installed version I am having issues with 2 things: saved files are not being generated (therefore the "continue" option does not work) and I can't change the language on the game. I've got a data table with ids and phrases for different languages and for some reason it does not work on the installed version. I figured out it has something to do with read/write permissions but I can't figure out the way to solve it.

Can anybody give me a hand on this?

[elfin badger]

Hello, does exists a way to generate patches based on a release with another patch already in?

[heady palm]

Any idea why this is happening?

"PackagingResults: Error: Unhandled exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\jayun\OneDrive\Documents\Unreal Projects(Gamename)\Intermediate\Build\BuildRules(GameName)ModuleRules.dll' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)"

I will literally pay you if you can help me fix this

I've never had this happen before though and I'm like 10 builds in?

Okay trying now

Moving it fixed it wow

Thanks SO much

Can I send you a tip or something I'd have never figured that out

[ivory lily]

@heady palm don't use OneDrive for this, you want to use some sort of VCS

[heady palm]

Ahh it's just the way my PC was set up accidentally clicked it and was too lazy to change it 😐

[sturdy fable]

Not sure what do do about this, i did try deleting intermediate folder and that didnt work.

[grim oxide]

Hello
We have a project that runs greatly, we are trying to package it and export for windows, problem is that faceAR is not running, in standalone player or exported exe file. It runs perfectly in viewport play, other than that nowhere. I use the live link app and iPhone 11

[wise cliff]

hi! can anyone tell me how to move the saved folder to documents when packaging the game when shipping?

[mellow bane]

@wise cliff Build the engine from source and edit the folder used

[high nexus]

What would cause a packaged game to only show a black screen when loading into a level? The main menu is fine..

[winged moss]

Did you actually package your levels by adding them to the cook list?

[tired spindle]

Hello, has anyone experienced an issue where the child actors are not attached to the socket of a skeletal mesh in a packaged build?

[high nexus]

I figure out the issue - I forgot to make sure the assets were in the ./movies/ folder. I forget that that won't package if they are not in that location.

[winged moss]

Oh right by black screen I thought you meant it would never load into the level

[abstract escarp]

Is it possible to have a DefaultEngine.ini when the game builds and you are able to change networking settings there for the game build?

For instance, I would want to change the native platform "configuration" depending on the build I am uploading. If I am uploading to the "Steam" platform, I want to put that as the NativeSubsystem, and for Oculus, Playstation, etc..

But I don't want to rebuild everytime to just change that in the DefaultEngine.ini file

iirc that's not exposed by default

[tired spindle]

If someone comes across the same problem that I had:
Basically i was using Skeletal mesh merging to create modular characters and the bone sockets doesn't work properly after the merge. So you just have to run USkeletalMesh::RebuildSocketMap() on the mesh created from the merge.

https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/975694/cant-attach-to-socket-after-mesh-merge-packaged-bu.html

[winged moss]

well this is possible through INIs per-platform anyway. if you have UDN access, some ideas are discussed here: https://udn.unrealengine.com/s/question/0D52L00004lunbESAQ/steam-subsystem-for-steam-builds-only

that's more if you want to make changes per-PC platform

[abstract escarp]

UDN? I have an EOS account, never heard of UDN

I am aware of INI platforms, but granted, haven't produced a build that differentiates between all of them yet.

Also, with something like Steam vs Oculus vs Epic Games - how would you differentiate that since they are both "Windows" platforms? Technically you could load both, but if you're uploading on separate stores, that could be a problem.

[winged moss]

So you're not a licensee so therefore don't have UDN access? Alright, the two things suggested are using the CommandLine atribute in Target.cs and passing that via BuildCookRun, or staging an INI file with your build in /Config/NoRedist/DefaultEngine.ini

[elfin badger]

Can we use Amazon aws for chunk Downloader? Or other free website?

[abstract escarp]

I am a licensee, don't know why I can't access the page. So for the latter, do I just do this:

[Staging]
+WhitelistConfigFiles=ProjectCore/Config/NoRedist/DefaultEngine.ini```

[winged moss]

You should get UDN access as part of your licensee onboarding, alongside Perforce access. By staging I mean copying a file to your build

If you’re a custom licensee UDN is the private support forums and it definitely comes in handy with trickier engine issues

[abstract escarp]

I will look into it, thx.

[formal comet]

does anyone know which folders are needed at runtime by UE editor / the sdk tools? it's not clear to me which parts are the source tree and which parts are the build tree, and which folder maybe contain resource which are needed for UE editor to function. I am trying to package up a build of just the unreal engine things.

it might be a lot less stupider if any build output was all below some kind of ./build path or similar, and then any resources might be under some kind of ./resources folder maybe. but maybe i'm just the stupid one because i'm not understanding the structure of this huge engine.

[fickle cairn]

I've packaged my project for WIndows to test, but on launching the game I get this error message:

Any tips?

[winged moss]

does the log have more info?

[fickle cairn]

I'm going to make a dev build and see if that gives me more info...

[fickle cairn]

Not sure if this means anything

That's the last section of the log

It seems to be an issue with nativizing blueprints, if I build a project without nativization, it works.

[mellow bane]

Nativization is a common cause of packaging problems. It's an incredibly difficult problem, and it doesn't really work well

[fickle cairn]

I guess I could do "exclusive" nativization and try to narrow down which blueprint/s cause issues...

[mellow bane]

If you're going to use nativization you should only apply it to specific Blueprints you've narrowed down as computationally demanding

(through profiling)

[fickle cairn]

Also the first time I launched the game it was quite "wonky" the rendering after loading a level didn't work and on second try, the audio launched with an audio clip playing from a level that wasn't supposed to be loaded, until I fiddled with my audio settings volume controls, then it stopped playing... if this is how first time experience is going to be for players... it's trouble.

third launch, audio is fine

Are there some extra config files or some other things the game needs to write after launch? That it doesn't have on first launch?

[mellow bane]

It's more likely that there are issues with your game - package in development and check the logs.

[fickle cairn]

I guess the first time it launches it doesn't have any saved settings, some of those settings are written by the engine to ini files...

I guess I have to fiddle around with defaults, or no settings scenarios and have some work arounds

[mellow bane]

There is no workaround necessary, this is a game issue

[fickle cairn]

Yeah, I mean, have some rules for how to deal with it

[mellow bane]

There is no need for that either, other than making sure your game works when the save file isn't found

[fickle cairn]

that's what I mean

[mellow bane]

Doesn't have anything to do with engine settings or inis, though

These are perfectly fine on first launch

[fickle cairn]

How so?

Well, I don't know what it could be then, 3rd launch is fine, and the only different things that I can see is that at first it didn't have any settings saved, like screen resolution or audio volume... after they are there it works as expected...

[mellow bane]

Simply put there is zero difference between a first run of your game and any subsequent runs, until the user actively changes and saves engine settings through your game's settings menu. That the .ini files aren't written initially has zero impact at all - the engine will just return your project defaults instead, which is likely what you're working with yourself.

The behaviour your are seeing is likely to be errors in your Blueprints or C++ code

[fickle cairn]

Are there any tutorials or documentation on how to set up the Project - Description section, or any other fields when packaging? I wonder about fields like "Legal" Copyright/Licensing/Privacy Policy... not rally sure where these would appear or how they are used by the game?

[mellow bane]

They show up in the details panel of your .exe's properties

This is Remnant's From the Ashes's :

It's completely pointless, basically

Copyright is an automatic right that requires zero action on your part

[fickle cairn]

ok, thanks

[modern arrow]

Hello, When I package my game as "Shipping" my compiler throws me an Error "LNK2005". I found out that the reason is that I defined two modules inside MyGame.Target.cs. Now I was under the impression, that a modular architecture is the way to go. Any Idea how I could package two or more modules inside the same Target?

[mellow bane]

Show the log

But yeah I'm pretty sure it's one module per project / plugin /etc

[modern arrow]

Right now I can't. I fixed it by putting everything into one module.

But this is my Setup

As you can see I put two modules inside my main game source folder and added the two modules to target. Is this correct?

[modern arrow]

If this is true. How do you build the architecture for big projects so that it remains scaleable and modular?

[mellow bane]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/GameplayArchitecture/Gameplay/index.html

You can use multiple modules per project, but there's a bit of setup

Your error is likely forgetting the dependencies in build.cs

[modern arrow]

Do I need to reference each module in the build of the other Module?

I am recompiling my project with two modules, so I can reproduce the error.

[mellow bane]

You can't have circular dependencies

One module can link to others, but both cannot link to eachother

[modern arrow]

This is the error I was refering to!

[modern arrow]

The only solution I found so far was to build one big game module and put everything inside of it, which is not a clean solution. As you can see from the picture, I have separated them both and set them as modules in the Target.cs

[mellow bane]

Make sure to follow the doc I linked

[modern arrow]

I think I found the error. I declared IMPLEMENT_PRIMARY_GAME_MODULE twice. Thanks @mellow bane

I have yet to test it.

[modern arrow]

@mellow bane That was the problem!

[rocky flicker]

Im having an issue launching/building my game. Now this issue is probably comming from a editor-only feature being used. But I don't know what would be causing it.

As this is the only class using a editor only function and the blueprints are also marked editor only

Also the modules itself in the build.cs are not spectacular i believe

[mellow bane]

Check whether a plugin, or the .uproject file, has UnrealEd or another editor only thing as a dependency

[rocky flicker]

That was my guess aswell but from my understanding due to various forum posts ive read I thought it would change this line: (referenced via Target -> Overgrown.Build.cs) to the plugin line or something but I guess I should double check it

    "Plugins": [
        {
            "Name": "GameplayAbilities",
            "Enabled": true
        },
        {
            "Name": "SmoothSyncPlugin",
            "Enabled": true,
            "MarketplaceURL": "com.epicgames.launcher://ue/marketplace/content/c8f61b007fb44f4abcb7b0974cebff6b"
        },
        {
            "Name": "EnhancedInput",
            "Enabled": true
        }
    ]

Could it be smoothsyncplugin causing these issues?

As the other 2 are made by Epic themselves and low chances they are the ones causing the problem

[mellow bane]

You can always check the build.cs for each plugin, but.... it's unlikely

Check in the .uproject that it's not set to "enterprise" either

[rocky flicker]

yeah this is the whole uproject but nothing to special here i believe

[mellow bane]

Well there you go, UnrealEd in dependencies

[rocky flicker]

Wait thats actually what causes it? But thats auto generated is it not?

[mellow bane]

I've no idea where those come from, to be completely honest. It's the Blueprint-project-only version of build.cs dependencies

Move that to the .build.cs if you need it, and only when the current build target is editor

[rocky flicker]

That fixed it thanks!

[slate jetty]

was suggested to run https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Editor/UnrealEd/Commandlets/UResavePackagesCommandlet/index.html before packaging, but how do you run it in the bat?

Hello everyone, I'm nearing shipping my Android mobile game and I am currently trying to get Google play services to work correctly and can't figure out where the problem is for the life of me. If anyone could give me hand I would appreciate it.

The issue is when I open the game, Google play services pops-up and says welcome back with my username so I figured that means my keystore and app ID and all of that is working correctly, however, leaderboards and Achievements aren't updating.

[modern arrow]

Hello, from what I understand you cannot log in "Shipping" builds. I however activated it in my ".Target.cs" with the bUseLoggingInShipping (thingy) to true. However still no logs. Also the was no Saved/Logs folder in the shipping folder. What am I missing?

[mellow bane]

Did you build the engine from source ?

[modern arrow]

no

@mellow bane Is that a requirement?

[mellow bane]

Yeah it is

Prebuilt shipping engine doesn't have the logging feature at all in the code

[modern arrow]

Thanks for the answer!

[modern arrow]

So that is also the reason why I got a Linking Error, when I left my "UE_LOG" Macro in my code. Gotcha.

[modern arrow]

So, I am having a very specific problem, and I am sorry if I cannot provide enough background context. By launching multiple EXEs and connecting them with Client-Server model I want to create a multiscreen setup. For that I use the GameMode postlogin to register the controllers and execute a custom C++ Blueprint Function that uses Window::ReshapeWindow(). Now this works when launched from the Editor and in the Development build. However it does not work in the Shipping build. And since I cannot log in the shipping build, my hands are tied. @mellow bane would you see any reason for this not working in the Shipping build? Also, in the shipping build the Windows launch in Fullscreen-Mode it seems. If that is any help. I am very lost at the moment and kinda desperate D:

[mellow bane]

I guess reshaping windows doesn't work in fullscreen, so I'd start with that.

[modern arrow]

It actually does. Just tried it. I however found out another problem, which I couldn't detect because of the missing logs.

[open rapids]

i'm trying package with shipping version, but it's generating a old project package, like from 1 week ago of my assets. I already tried delete saved, intermeditate, binaries and launcher settings: changed stagedbuilds folder, changed interactive cooking setting, changed compress setting, changed saved package without version setting. None of this work, i tried delete temp folder of windows and app data still not work... some ideia of how i could fix it?

it's related to this https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/187576/launch-and-package-creating-old-version-of-game.html

is there a way to package without actually opening the editor? it would be a big time saver if i could package directly on a windows test server

[warm sigil]

so i left my DDC building over night, and its still going this morning (odd). my ram usage is pegged and the sysem is not 100% responsive so its obviously doing something. But has it stalled?

[slate jetty]

is this a silent warning or I need to resave it for the cooker to continue?

not sure what you mean, it'll only block cooking if it's an error rather than a warning

my bat seems to stuck there for over 30 mins with no CPU usage

well if that's the case, I would say it's worth trying to resave to rule it out

Hey folks, I did not package a game with the unreal engine yet and currently work on a plugin which access some files within it's project folder.

[haughty depot]

everything is generally packaged up, but if you look in the package settings and expand the first section (Packaging), you will see you can add non-asset directories, etc. these will keep the same relative directory structure. you should just test it out in an empty project quick, it takes a couple minutes to setup

@haughty depot many thanks for the help and the info 🙂 Good to know have a clue about what happens

Hey ! Does anyone have experience packaging games with custom engine builds ? I've built the engine from source and made a an Installed engine to share with the team but I can't package our project with this engine.

I have an Android 4.25 game I upgraded to 4.26. I tried to repackage and got errors. I ran into an error where the AAB version couldn't install the OBB when I tried with internal testing. I'm trying the old way (uncheck Generate bundle (AAB) in project settings). I remember in 4.25 to specifically not use AAB. Has AAB replaced APK+OBB for the playstore? Am I missing something?

[mint leaf]

plenty, what configuration are you trying to build - at worst they should be able to clone the engine, build it and then use that to build what they want - if you do via buildgraph you need to allow it to compile configurations etc

[kind reef]

Hey ! Yeah I used buildgraph to distribute our engine build but yeah, there's no compile configuration available. I'll try to package using the source build before rebuilding the engine 😅

[cosmic hound]

I have a question about UGC. Is it possible to use it on Android? Also is it possible to use with a launcher build if I use a source engine build to create a new Automator program? For context, I'm teaching a class in VR using Oculus Quest headsets and thinking about using the UGC mod system to let the students submit the maps that they are making whilst I maintain a core project that contains the VR behaviors. Ideally I would prefer it if the students used a copy of UE4 obtained from the launcher instead of having them compile a source version so I'm looking for a way of getting the required Automator build scripts that are needed to them in a drag'n'drop format.

[fierce garnet]

Hi! Can anyone point me in the right direction to ship my game on steam? I already have my Steamworks account created, how does it work from the engine perspective?

tell Steam about the VS version used and you're pretty much good to go

Amazing thank you

yes but what does "but how do I get it to recognize that I changed values in that file?" mean

[abstract escarp]

I made a 'NoRedist' folder in there as well

[winged moss]

it's just an INI file

[abstract escarp]

I want to change those values for the build, right? That's the whole point of staging that particular file

from my understanding

[winged moss]

this is a file you stage to your build output

it's not pre-packaging

[abstract escarp]

Yes, that is what I am saying

I packaged the build to a staging directory and I am supposed to make a new folder called 'NoRedist,' right?

[winged moss]

I'm not sure how I could word it simpler than stated, but when you download your game on your platform of choice, that file should be there in that location

as that was stated on the UDN ticket

[abstract escarp]

From your instructions, I gathered the following:

(1) - Build with either a commandline attribute target.cs or staging a file with INI, which you stated is copying that file into the new staging directory.
(2) - Since I am trying to do the latter, I make a folder called "NoRedist." I assumed I would have to make this myself after the build

[winged moss]

well I'm just telling you what I read, this wasn't my ticket, it's just one I bookmarked as I had something similar but we did it through Target.cs

I would recommend looking at custom licensing so you could look at that ticket and possibly bump it

[abstract escarp]

Yea, applying now. I will try the Target option since the latter wasn't working

[karmic elm]

if you ]put a single persistent file into the list of maps to include, will it include the child maps automatically?

[winged moss]

if you mean sublevels then yeah

the maps to cook only needs to reference the persistent level

[karmic elm]

ah ok, thank you]

[stark python]

anybody know what this error during packaging for android means?
Requested array size exceeds VM limit

[stark python]

Ok figured that one out. Here's another. PicoVR needs this specifically added to the manifest, but adding it to the activity Extra Settings doesn't work, nor does extra Tags.
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
Anyone have luck editing the manifest?

Hi there - Anyone know if audio files could cause a build to crash? I recently updated my build with mastered, 24bit wav tracks and now I'm getting the occasional Fatal Error! crash after playing for around 3-4 hours (on a RTX3070, 16gig ram). Before this recent build this never happened and nothing else was changed except an Nvidia driver update...rolled that back and still getting the crashes. Thanks for any info!! On Ue4.25

[winged moss]

well it would help to actually see the callstack and a log file

[timber inlet]

it's a shipping build...is there anyway to get a callstack from that?

[winged moss]

yes? I'm not sure how a shipping build is anything to do with that but you won't get a log file unless you enable logging in shipping through the Target.cs file

you could see if it happens in a Dev or Test build

[forest ocean]

is there any way to reduce the size of the packaged exe file? (i mean the one in Binaries, not the redirector) mine is close to 200mb and downloading the DRM-wrapped version from the steam backend takes about an hour because their servers are crap...

[viscid girder]

i am working on packaging my game, i've got some default engine options that need to be changed for a shipping release, what do i need to learn about to handle the shipping config

anyone got knows whether I can generate a project file for my unreal plugin directly from the Build.cs file?

I'm trying to find a way to generate project files for the plugin without having it to be attached to a game project.

ok maybe better asked in #plugin-dev

hi did anyone encounter this error before in a successful package? I ran the package and got this error

Enabled nativization for some files, but now I get an error..

I did not set those assets to be nativized.. Do I really have to go and manually fix it, or any other way to get rid of this error?

[blissful dove]

Can someone please help me sort this? It was fine earlier, idk what happened now. :/

I even ticked full rebuild on packaging settings

[blissful dove]

Okay, I went ahead and hit build on the project, now it's saying stuff is missing.... I did rename it though. Maybe that's why?

[south jacinth]

Guys, I have a cpp module in my project, but when I try to build a packaged game, it cannot open the dll of it.

LogModuleManager: Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module 'C:/Users/Flakky/AppData/Local/Jenkins/.jenkins/workspace/Marble_Strike_Android_master/Plugins/PsFacebookMobile-develop/Binaries/Win64/UE4Editor-PsFacebookMobile.dll' because the file couldn't be loaded by the OS.

What may be the reason?
Btw, I also tried to start without jenkins, same error..

Hello everyone
I want to ask about packaging with Nanite vs packaging without it, does it make any difference size wise?

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix this error?

"Ensure condition failed: ClassDefaultObject [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/BlueprintGeneratedClass.cpp] [Line: 1523]"

I've been told it has to do with circular dependencies in the blueprints, but I fixed those and it keeps showing. Everything works fine when I play in the editor/standalone version, but I can't package the project. Using version 4.26.2

[cobalt pine]

Is there a quick way to exclude all unused assets in a packaged build?

[vital creek]

That's how packaging already works.

[cobalt pine]

doesn't seem like it in my output log

[vital creek]

By default all levels (and everything they reference) are packaged - check your packaging settings and tell it to only use a specific list of levels instead.

Sorry, I think I got that slightly wrong - by default everything is packaged. If you go to packaging settings and tell it to only package specific levels then only those levels will be packaged.

[winged moss]

Also depends on how things are referenced and if you have a chain of asset references going on

[wooden prairie]

Does anyone know how to package for xbox series consoles?

Like do I need a plugin orso? Or does it work out of the box?

[vital creek]

You cannot without being a registered Xbox developer with an agreement with Microsoft. After which you need to talk to epic about getting access to the Xbox platform for unreal.

[wooden prairie]

Ah okay, yeah I am registered as An Xbox/Windows 10 store developer

[vital creek]

That's not the same thing, unless you're asking about UWP

Microsoft maintained a separate branch of unreal for UWP support. I don't believe it is actively maintained anymore, though, and you are severely limited on hardware resources when running on Xbox. Only "true" games get full access to the system but that requires being in the actual Xbox developer program and not just registered for the Microsoft store.

[open rapids]

how do you enable cheat manager in a shipping package anyone know?

[wooden prairie]

Hmff okay. I submitted a console code request on epic games, Lets see what this gets me

[wooden prairie]

It is activated in development builds, but I guess you want it in the shipping build?

[vital creek]

Unless you have a proper agreement with Microsoft, nothing. As an individual or indie you need to apply via https://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/id

[open rapids]

yeah i am trying to use ghost/walk in shipping builds. I tried using them in blueprints with execute console command as well as cheat manager. They work in the editor and standalone game but not when i package ]: @wooden prairie

i thnk i'll just have to recreate the ghost/walk experience

[winged moss]

yeah, you have to override them in your own pawn class to duplicate the functionality without the shipping guards

I think the function is actually virtual

[crystal mulch]

Hello Guys! Has anyone of you noticed that when you compile the Engine from source with BuildGraph - InstalledEngineBuild configuration, that the PNG files inside the content folder of the various Platforms are not copied correctly inside the LocalBuilds folder? They are pngs related to the [Platform]\Content\Editor\Slate folder, it seems strange to me to have to copy them by hand from Engine to LocalBuilds.

Do any of you know why?

[cosmic hound]

Not a question but more a celebration; I just managed to get a mod built with the Simple UGC plugin from Epic running on Android (Quest)!

Only took me a week

But it doesn't work like the Quickstart guide describes where you can just copy the mod across and run it - I have to manually load the mod's pak file, mount the paths and load AssetRegistry.bin into the asset registry.

Anyone had any luck just getting mods working by dropping them into their mods directory in their packaged project?

Hi everybody here, sorry but i really am getting desperate to getting my demo game packaged and playable. Hopefully someone here can help me with this everlasting problem here.

if this is the wrong place, please tell me where i should post it

there are only two warnings on opening the level, no errors:

LogConfig: Setting CVar [[r.PrecomputedVisibilityWarning:0]]

and

LogPhysics: Warning: FConstraintInstance::GetRefFrame : Contained scale.

about 40 times in a row

when buidling everything works fine. Build is succesfull only with these warnings, still no errors:

about 40 times in a row

and

[astral ice]

Hey does anyone knows wich license i can use for my game i will try to publish on steam or anywhere else , because its very weird to use mit, apache or else License when the game is an packaged state

[lean valley]

I'm having issues packaging. I even tried just creating an entirely new project of a default blueprint just to see. I'm trying to export to android but get this error.

[quiet mica]

So it tells me that one of my maps isn't there which is true but I only renamed it so why does it keep telling me this.

The map is World1_Village

[astral ice]

Its a simple Question does anyone know wich license i can took , please

[mellow bane]

Are you releasing the game's source code ?

Because licences only really make sense in that context - the sale of the packaged game is covered by Steam's EULA

You only need another one if you want to add different conditions

hey i am using blueprint system on my game and i want to know some tips to host a client server in a mac

Pretty much start your game with ?listen, ideally using sessions

Not really a packaging question

Hi everybody! Trying to package a project made only with blueprints on UE4.25 and getting "PackagingResults: Error: Visual Studio 2019 must be installed in order to build this target.". Why do I get this message if my project was done using only blueprints?

I never had an issue like this when packaging the same project on 4.17

[astral ice]

Thank you much Stranger Steam looks good i see, just a question by the side i hear you can add your Game first to Itch, Gamejolt or else before you can add it to Steam , because when you start with Steam they have the 30 Days time before they released your Game, in this time you cant add a Game anywhere , any Statement or experience please , thanks again finally i hope be my last question .

[astral ice]

maybe you set Cook Game with nativization to true in the Package Settings .if this isnt be the reason try to Install VS 2019 in the Future you will need it sure.

[lean valley]

Has anyone put their game on ps4 or nintendo switch network? Is such a thing even possible

[mellow bane]

Yes

Get in touch with Sony and Nintendo

[mellow bane]

First time I hear about this.

[versed smelt]

Thanks Kota! Based on your comment I went in detail on every setting but that wasn't the case. Then I tried packaging the default VR template with same settings, and no error. However; during this trial I stumbled upon what was causing the error; it was the Apex Destruction plug-in. When I enabled the Apex Destruction plug-in in the default VR template I was able to replicate the same error. On my project, I have destructible meshes and have the Apex Destruction plug-in enabled because of this. Is there a way to have destructible meshes in your project without the Apex Destruction plug-in (because I don't remember enabling this plug-in in 4.17)? If not, any ideas on how to resolve the issue with the Apex plug-in enabled?

[mellow bane]

Nah

Apex was spun into a plugin

Resolve the issue by installing VS and the Win10 SDK

[versed smelt]

Will installing VS2019 cause any compatibility issues with my 4.17 projects?

[mellow bane]

No

Why would it ?

VS 1017 should also work btw

[versed smelt]

So installing VS2019 doesn't replace VS2017? It's just added as a seperate application?

I'm very inexperienced on this subject

[mellow bane]

If you already have VS 2017 installed with C++ support (MSVC, Win10 SDK) then UE4 can use that

It suggest VS 2019 because it's the default, but as of 4.26 2017 is still supported

And yes 2019 is a separate app

[versed smelt]

I'm going to install VS 2019 and try packaging again. The help is very appreciated, thank you 😄

[mellow bane]

If you already have 2017 it might be easier to just confirm you have C++ support installed for it

[versed smelt]

I'm assuming I have it since I never had any issues packaging projects on 4.17

[mellow bane]

The reason it wasn't required is that you didn't have any C++ plugin or code

You now do (since Apex was made a plugin I guess)

[versed smelt]

Just checked and I have visual studio installer only, it doesn't look like it's installed.

[mellow bane]

Open that if you want to be sure

[versed smelt]

Just opened it, it's not installed.

[mellow bane]

👍

[versed smelt]

Thank you again, really appreciate the help 🙂

Hi, I'm new to Unreal blueprints, I followed a tutorial and when it came to packaging, this happened. What do I do?

[open rapids]

Hello guys, is there any way to automate level building and game package ?
For example:
i have 10 levels in my game, big levels, level build takes 10 min each, thats 2 h of my work time, and then when i finish i package my game as shipping build and it takes 1,5h, so i would like to automate this, i would like to use a tool that builds light,paths ext. on all my levels and when it is finished it starts a shipping package, so i can leave my office and when i come back the next day i will have exe ready to play.

Hello. I'm trying to optimize the build speed of our project. I'm trying to figure out how the map inclusion works. We're using Unreal Frontend and most tutorial and documentation is for in editor settings. What is the proper way to select which levels need to be cooked using the Unreal Frontend tool?

[runic stump]

What is the proper way to select which levels need to be cooked using the Unreal Frontend tool?
The proper way to select which levels need to be cooked in not using Unreal Frontend tool, but instead going to Project Settings -> Packaging -> List of maps to include in a packaged build. That setting will be written to Config/DefaultGame.ini

[/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings]
+MapsToCook=(FilePath="/Game/Map1")

Questions of this form often indicate a person who is not merely ignorant about X, but confused about what problem Y they are solving and too fixated on the details of their particular situation.

Thanks. When I add a level to the list, will the sub levels be cooked as well (as they are referenced) or not?

[next dust]

Everything referenced will be cooked

[astral ice]

Hey People does anyone publish games on Multiple Plattforms as Steam , Itch , Gog etc. is there any Restriction about and what about wich license the best one

[mint leaf]

Yes its possible, takes some time and effort to setup tho
If you only want to do nightly, you can just manually trigger UE frontend before you leave

[open rapids]

Guys, does packageing my game as shipping builds lights and paths on level ?

[mellow bane]

No, it doesn't

[crystal mulch]

Hello Fuego! Have you tried?

[mint leaf]

it will be running in an hour or 2

[crystal mulch]

Okay 😄 let me know

[mint leaf]

not by default no

[mint leaf]

Did you nuke a UE4 inbuilt class?

[mint leaf]

its probably worth stepping back a few revisions and seeing if you made a change to a UE4 baseclass

[mint leaf]

what path should they be at?

{platform}\Engine\Content\Editor\Slate* has pngs in diff folders for me @crystal mulch

[crystal mulch]

Where?

[mint leaf]

You can inherit and change a class in your code?

[mint leaf]

You said slate PNGs, I see slate PNGs on my LocalBuild

at this path

{platform}\Engine\Content\Editor\Slate\**

if you give me the path of one you are copying I can check

[crystal mulch]

did you compile with buildgraph installedengine and it created those folders in LocalBuilds for you?

which platform have you tried?

PS5? PS4? XSX?

[crystal mulch]

In Slate, for PS4 for example, in Engine/Platforms/PS4/Content/Editor/Slate I have two folders, one called Launcher with two PNGs

[crystal mulch]

when i built with that command, this folder is not copied correctly to LocalBuilds/Windowsetc./Engine/Platforms/PS4/Content/Editor/Slate

indeed, the Slate folder does not exist completely

[mint leaf]

I havent got console access on this machine

will have to check on another one, but that will be a while

[crystal mulch]

which platform did you built?

check in that platform the Slate folder

first check that it exists inside the Engine folder, Engine/Platforms/{Platform}/Content/Editor/Slate. If exist here, it must also exist within the respective LocalBuilds folder

[mint leaf]

Win64

[crystal mulch]

....

[mint leaf]

I dont have an engine/platforms

[mint leaf]

its still a binary build?

used for their artists?

to do it on a repo with console access will be a while as I am not near those machines atm

[crystal mulch]

I create a single completed build of the Engine with all the console platforms we use to package our projects, then I create multiple archives in a different way

• only Win64 and UnrealEditor for artists
• Win64 and all platforms for buildmachines
• Win64, UnrealEditor and debug symbols for developers

I'm experiencing the problem only in the folders of the various platforms to be integrated

[mint leaf]

Cant say ive noticed the problem, but for platform builds I do a different way anyway

[crystal mulch]

why? And how?

[scenic bone]

Hi, I'm new to Unreal and never coded before. Can anyone guide me on how to install SDK to package my game? A video/documentation or direct instructions will be much appreciated. Ping me when replying.

Also do we need different SDK for packaging for different platforms?
Thank you in advance.

[hollow finch]

im getting LogOutputDevice: Error: begin: stack for UAT, anyone know whats happening

[astral ice]

Hey Klaus , for Packaging a Game you just need Unreal Engine 4 and Visual Studio 2019 recomended for a PC Game , i have been package my PC Game in 1 or 2 Weeks every day 5 Hours at each Day ,and i watch Tons of Videos and read Tons in Community to find my mistake it was just one Building to delete that made problems at least but i didnt realize before i try anything what they Suggest , to finally package my Game . Instructions are many i begin with Devsquad but there are many outside , my Advice try to package your Game every Week to have an better overview about Errors otherwise you searching like me till get crazy 😀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wjzjnv9E5SU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MatkFIvCKMY

[dreamy panther]

That "begin stack" is the first line of the log that's about to start printings the call stack of where the UAT (Unreal Automated Tool) failed. Paste the lines that come after it so people can help

[open rapids]

I'd like to Launch a Project Launcher profile, from cmd is there a command or a .bat for it?

[bold iris]

is it possible to pack videos in game files? (not in the movies folder)

[slow shell]

when i use the command line automation tool for a dedi build, seems like it ignores the GameServer.Target.cs module exclusions and only looks at Game.Target.cs even with the -server option. How do you force it to look at the correct target.cs?

builds normally from VS

[mellow bane]

Looks like a Chaos crash on cook

You can try debugging the packaging to see which asset causes it so that you can report it to Epic and remove that mesh

[violet otter]

I can't find anything on answerhub or google about the Packaging error "Unable to find package for cooking"?
Some of these are for assets I moved or deleted, but I fixed up redirectors and even re-created them sometimes and it still happens.
I also deleted Intermediate and Saved folders and Generated Project Files again.
Furthermore, some of these missing assets prevent me from creating a new one with their same name at the same folder path, even though they don't exist anymore.

How do I resolve these warnings (and some errors)?

[hollow finch]

anyone know whats happening?

[novel hollow]

packaged my game as debug, development, and shipping, and each time it works without error (or warning) and then when I try to actually run the exe file absolutely nothing happens. no logs are generated (there isn't even a saved folder). I searched through this channel and multiple people have had the same issue, been told to look at the log, they say there isn't a log, and then there's no response. does anyone actually have a solution for this? am i missing something simple? game works fine in the editor

[orchid star]

is it normal for packaged games to not allow saving? can save my game in the editor, but never when packaged

[mellow bane]

Packaged games save just fine. How did you check it didn't ?

[orchid star]

I test it by literally binding a key to make a named savegame object, and a file never gets created in the savegames folder location

[mellow bane]

Are you sure that folder is correct ? %LOCALAPPDATA%/GameName/Saved in Shipping

[orchid star]

yes, I even have other widgets that check if x savegame exists, if yes, theyre visible, if no, they hide themselves

[mellow bane]

Are you sure the key binding is correctly called ?

[orchid star]

yes, i run a print string with it too

[mellow bane]

Failing that the saving logic is probably wrong - a common error is that failing to initially read the file means you don't create it

Show your saving logic

(And more to the point, test in editor with no existing save file)

[orchid star]

in the editor, i can delete and create saves easily, but never in packaged builds

[strange ledge]

1. did you use List of maps...? if yes , is it correct ?
2. try to use some searching software (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_(software)) and inspect your content folder for files named in "Unable to find package for cooking". If you have such files - you will not see it through ue4 editor - delete them and try to rebuild.

[orchid star]

this is the initial setter for the savegame object

[mellow bane]

What's the saving like ?

[orchid star]

then this runs directly after the previous function

[mellow bane]

(And are you sure LoadGame is called ?)

Did you package in Shipping ?

[orchid star]

most load calls look like this

yes, its in shipping

and this is the load save data function, setting up the saved vars

[mellow bane]

Assuming you've logged everything and the correct path is taken, everything should be saved just fine into local app data

[orchid star]

I think part of the issue may be with my gameInstance variable

hmm yeah the issue is that when i cast to my gameinstance, it fails?

[strange ledge]

when does it happen? are you using any ci/cd solution? is it possible to upload broken packaged game ?

[novel hollow]

I can upload it after work today. It happens any time I run the packaged game.

[strange ledge]

nice. share the link

[violet otter]

@strange ledge thank you. I have tried the search and delete method for one of the assets but it didnt help. I have not tried a list of maps because the first asset causing this problem is not an actor referenced by a map and likely not referenced by anything else that is in any map but I could try it just in case

[violet otter]

@strange ledge I tried deleting Config as well as Intermediate and Saved folders this time, generating project files again, then recompiling the project in Visual Studio. This removed some of the warnings for one or two assets, but most are still throwing warnings and errors. Then I tried making a map list in the project settings, and no change. Same warnings and errors when packaging.

It appears that ALL the errors and warnings now are related to UMG assets

Digging deeper, I see that one of my UMG widget assets appears in the file explorer, but NOT any longer (it used to) in the Content Browser at the same folder path

how do I get that .uasset back into the content browser?

Also I wonder why it disappeared from the content browser

[strange ledge]

its all about 2. I've mentioned before.

[strange ledge]

its broken or redirector was lost . Do you use source control? Are you working alone?

[violet otter]

I am working alone and not using source control

I fixed up redirectors for the whole project

[strange ledge]

nice. bp only?

[violet otter]

No, I have some C++ classes
So I always launcher the editor from Visual Studio

My C++ classes include a game instance, a gamemodebase, and an unused stub class "MyClass" just to get the C++ started.

I have some plugins but none that reference UMG

or slate

[strange ledge]

try to copy code to blank C++ project and migrate all maps (It will migrate all relevant stuff as well). Ensure blank C++ project has no package errors + copy plugins @violet otter

[violet otter]

Yeah I was afraid I might need to do that. I wish there was some way to fix these things without having to migrate.

[novel hollow]

@strange ledge re-packaging my game, what's the best way to upload this so you can look at it?

[hollow finch]

installed the editor symbols for debugging, but i still dont understand what the issue is

[strange ledge]

I think it will work. It will migrate only relevant stuff. Garbage away )

[pliant sentinel]

guys i need help quick please the project used to work just fine now I get this error and im supposed to demonstrate it in a few hours

is it safe to delete the gradle folder because someone on the net says it can fix it

• deleting intermidate

[strange ledge]

check all your bp very carefully . one of them is broken or corrupted. I think you can't compile it. Fix it to be able to compiled or recreate it and fix all links.

[grave mesa]

I have the same issue kinda

Basically this

ERROR: cmd.exe failed with args /c "M:\Tactical Gacha\TacticalGacha\Intermediate\Android\armv7\gradle\rungradle.bat" :app:assembleRelease

[sturdy drum]

i try to packaging my game but i got this error

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogInit: Display: LogRigVM: Error: Struct '/Script/RigLogicModule.RigUnit_RigLogic_Data' cannot be found. Asset '../../../../../../Users/Benja/Documents/Unreal Projects/Rpg_new_ground 4.26/Content/MetaHumans/Common/Face/Neck_CtrlRig.uasset' no longer functional.

its something from metahuman if i go to the control rig its compiled and i dont find the reson for the error

[pliant sentinel]

@grave mesa i managed to fix that with adding a list of the maps but now the app crashes when i open it. Try going into packaging and type maps up and add the maps u are gonna be using that will fix the problem but might end up crashing the app on startup like it happened with me

[strange ledge]

how did you build it? via cmd?

[grave mesa]

yes

[grave mesa]

Thank you for the warning

[strange ledge]

are you able to package blank project on your machine with exactly the same params? p.s. project path not included

[grave mesa]

I did managed to find a solution somehow

changing the java version fixed it

[violet otter]

@strange ledge I finally got a spare moment to migrate to a new project, but in the new project, the .uasset for one of my UMG widgets appears in windows file explorer, but not in the content browser, just like in the old project.

I migrated by right-clicking the older project's Content folder within Unreal Editor and choosing the Migrate option

[strange ledge]

its broken. try to recreate it and update all refs.

[violet otter]

Then chose the new project's Content folder as the target

the widget is broken or the project?

[strange ledge]

the widget. If you can't see it through the editor its broken or corrupted

[violet otter]

OK

[strange ledge]

check fast. copy the project. remove the widget and all refs to it. And try to build

[violet otter]

My time is up. I will have to get back to it later. Thank you for your help so far.

[strange ledge]

also you can use list of maps to check cook is valid per map. you can start with default map and it must be packaged

[novel hollow]

okay so i took all the code from my project (which completely fails to open when packaged), and moved it into a brand new project. This brand new project packages and runs just fine with nothing in it, as soon as I add in all my code (which builds/compiles fine and runs fine in the editor) it once again fails to open after packaging

deleting the code i added and repackaging the game makes it open normally again. how do i go about finding out what is wrong with my code that messes up the packaged game? there are still no logs being produced

[novel hollow]

I have also tried moving all code to a fresh project and putting it inside a new plugin and then trying to package. same result.
move it as a plugin into ANOTHER new project has the same result. I have thousands of lines of code in here, none of it giving me any errors, I have no idea where to even start to try and figure out what's wrong.

[violet otter]

@strange ledge I just remembered I have been "packaging" my projects to ZIP (which I didn't really think of as source control) when I reach a milestone. how would I restore it from a ZIP?

or maybe I only need to restore the broken assets...

[violet otter]

Ah, that seems to have removed ALL the build errors and all warnings

(Kids, always remember to do source control, version control, backups, etc)

[violet otter]

@strange ledge thank you for your help - I got it all fixed now. I never thought the packaging problem would have been caused by broken assets, as there was no indication of them breaking until I attempted the build to target platforms. And I was just as surprised that replacing the assets with their working backups would fix all the packaging problems.

[rare relic]

In Visual Studio you can 'open' the exe as a project and run it from there. Maybe you'll hit an exception or something?
Make sure you open the exe in the bin/win64 folder, not in the root.

[sturdy drum]

I solved my Problem, you need to Go in the .uplugin Datei of the plugin that cannot be found and change the loadingphase from default to predefault

[sturdy drum]

I packaged my Project but if i Start it, it crashed 🥺

[wraith heath]

Hi, I was wondering if someone could kindly help me? I have a widget that works perfectly in Engine but when I package it, it's not there?! I'm finding it really hard to debug as its working in UE4 4.26.2, it has always worked.. I've also noted another issue, again where the animated mask works in Engine but not in the packaged demo... Currently only packaging with dev settings.

this is the packaged demo and the info panel widget on the right hand side isn't there?!

and here, in engine, the info panel is where it should be, right hand side

sorry for the quality of the vids.... only to illustrate the info widget missing in packaged dev demo @opal thorn @finite gull @light junco @raven vale @vernal elm @eternal ice @ashen pewter please help

i attached visual studio debugger to the .exe file of the packaged game, and this happened
https://gyazo.com/25e546c200a15e6e553e13895d97a7cf
any ideas?

[rare relic]

So whats the callstack showing?

[novel hollow]

i have no idea where to see it

let me try this again and see if i can find it

https://gyazo.com/908cb4e486467901a531f1cf6af9201d now it just does this. where would i find the call stack? the output at the bottom just says it loads a bunch of system32 files, then exits with code -1073741819 (access violation)

edit: this is the exe directly inside the WindowsNoEditor folder. if i debug the exe inside binaries/win64 (not sure what the difference is between this one and the one in the root folder?) i get this instead:
https://gyazo.com/a8bd7bb8a6e63fedf7f1b897d0c03091
which does have a call stack, but not one that means anything to me

https://gyazo.com/119ce27e34b4804eb75593872fd1f10e
here is the call stack blown up since the other pictures are likely too small

@mint leaf delayed response, but I build debug and got the exact same results. I have no idea how to decipher the call stack that it gives me into something readable

[novel hollow]

apparently you have to build for debug AND select the option to include debug files. my call stack now looks like this:
https://gyazo.com/cc8cac5ef964527e04b49cfcde56c1bc
UAbilityHandler::CastLengthStatTag is a static GameplayTag variable. i'm assuming that the engine is trying to set it while starting up the game (along with all the other static GameplayTag variables I have in various places), which calls RequestGameplayTag, but the GameplayTagsManager isn't initialized yet, and for some reason initializing it here causes a crash?

[slim sand]

Hi, some of my string table entries are not localized in the packaged project. In the editor everyhing seems fine. The weird thing is some entries from a specific ST show up properly in the build, but in the scope of the same ST other entries display <MISSING STRING TABLE ENTRY>. Like what the hell. I'm struggling with this seemingly random bug for over a month... Has anyone encountered the same issue? I NEED TO RELEASE THE GAME SOON HELP PLS 😦

[novel hollow]

Ok, for anyone who sees this, if you get a crash immediately when opening your game and no record of what's happening, here was how I fixed it:

• build for Debug instead of Development/Shipping
• check the option in packaging settings for Include Debug Files
• Open Visual Studio, click on open project or solution
• Make sure all file types are visible
• Open the executable inside of WindowsNoEditor\YourProjectName\Binaries\Win64, NOT the one in the root WindowsNoEditor folder
• Start debugging
  Your call stack should come up as soon as it crashes and actually let you see what functions were being called, rather than a bunch of non-human-readable memory addresses.
  For me, it was because a number of components in my game had public const static FGameplayTag variables that I was just using as an easy way to check if a tag was of a certain category. This was causing the GameplayTagManager to initialize before everything else, which caused it to crash. I fixed this by converting these variables into public static functions that just return the requested gameplay tag instead, that way they are only ever called when needed (which for me is in InitializeComponent or BeginPlay in every instance), when the GameplayTagManager is already initialized.

[desert beacon]

Hey did you ever figure out if the optional chunks generated can be safely ignored or why they exist at all?

[abstract escarp]

Is there a way to pass command line arguments in the target.cs file so that when I run the executable it can just run with those additional arguments?

I tried something like this, since the documentation is sparse

List<string> StringList = new List<string>();
StringList.Add("DEFENGINEINI=$(ProjectDir)/Config/DefaultEngine.ini");
Console.Out.WriteLine(string.Format("String list: {0}", StringList.ToString()));
CommandLine.ParseArguments(StringList, Target);

I want it to emulate from a packged location:

PROEJCT.exe -DEFENGINEINI=.../Config/DefaultEngine.ini

[desert anchor]

hey guys,
when client trying to connect to the server I get this error
LogNet: NotifyControlMessage: Client connecting with invalid version. LocalNetworkVersion: 1048994691, RemoteNetworkVersion: -1918788394
Why the versions are different? and How can i check that?

Basically what I did:
1- I packaged my project with **UE_4.26.2 **
2- Switch the .project to UE_4.26.2 (source build)
3- Build it under Development Server - Win64
4- Copy the MySimpleProjectServer.exe from project folder MySimpleProject\Binaries\Win64and past it into early packaged folder Build\WindowsNoEditor\MySimpleProject\Binaries\Win64
5- Run the MySimpleProjectServer.exe /Game/Maps/Map_01 -log

I get that error, when client try to access to the server open 127.0.0.1

I'm looking at this
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/Networking/HowTo/DedicatedServers/

Do i have to migrate the whole project to source build?

or can i work on binary version, only when i want to build for server i switch to source build and package it?

cause source build takes around 1-2 hours to build and it's huge roughly around 150+GB

i mean for other users

[rare relic]

One option is to create your own Installed build which is what we do.
So you build it once then use it like an official Epic build except now you can build Dedicated server too.
If you want you can just use the installed build on machines that need to build the Dedicated server, or you can distribute the custom Installed build you made to other people on your team too.

[teal cipher]

@desert anchor work on binary version, only when i want to build for server i switch to source build and package it is the option we are using

( But now stuck to module import when we started using GameplayAbilities plugin 🥲 )

[desert anchor]

@rare relic i see... okay, so it's possible, then I assume I should have packaged the project in UE source build,
and yeah, I'm doing packaging in a single machine to push for dedicated server, I think that makes more sense.

[desert anchor]

@teal cipher isn't GamePlayAbilities for UE5?

[rare relic]

If you don't have anything setup already, maybe you'll find this tool useful?
I think it allows you to configure and build custom engine builds from source (caveat - I have never used it myself):
#engine-source message

GameplayAbilities has been around for a while now. Maybe you're thinking of GameFeatures?

or if you want to do it manually this is the cmd I use to make Installed version that supports DedicatedServer (and Linux dedicated server)

.\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script=Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml -set:WithDDC=false -set:WithFullDebugInfo=true -set:VS2019=true -set:GameConfigurations=DebugGame;Development;Test;Shipping -set:WithServer=true -set:WithClient=false -set:WithLinux=true -set:WithLinuxAArch64=false -set:WithWin32=false -set:WithMac=false -set:WithAndroid=false -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithLumin=false -set:WithLuminMac=false -set:WithHoloLens=false

[desert anchor]

oh, i see... that's interesting, i will give it a try

where can i find all these cmd for build from source?

[desert anchor]

I haven't use GamePlayAbilities, yeah, i thought it's GameFeatures, i think i need to look it up.

[rare relic]

By doing a lot of research lol. There's no single resource that has good, upto date information that I know of.

I think the tool I linked above also gives the cmd line based on which boxes you tick, so worth playing about with that perhaps

[desert anchor]

hahaha.. yeah, I will give that tool a try as well.

thanks for the help 🙏🏽

[teal cipher]

I do confirm , it's UE4.

I am still not able to make it work and there is no resource about it 😦 From editor => OK , From CLI => Unable to load module 'GameplayAbilities'

[rare relic]

I've never seen this problem. What cmd line are you running?

@winged moss how did you do your Target.cs redirection with EOS if you don't mind me asking? I tried something like this

List<string> StringList = new List<string>();
StringList.Add("DEFENGINEINI=$(ProjectDir)/Config/DefaultEngine.ini");
Console.Out.WriteLine(string.Format("String list: {0}", StringList.ToString()));
CommandLine.ParseArguments(StringList, Target);

To try to simulate PROEJCT.exe -DEFENGINEINI=.../Config/DefaultEngine.ini to override the DefaultEngine ini file which I staged in the Build.cs file to the packaged config folder by adding it to the RuntimeDependencies variable

[winged moss]

Huh? This is nothing like what we are doing

[abstract escarp]

Well the objective is to overwrite the DefaultEngine.ini file with overriden values, which sounds like what you are trying to do from what I understood. Is that right?

[winged moss]

No, we set preprocessor defines

[brittle geyser]

for anyone wondering, the correct switch is only -map (no idea what is -MapsToRebuildLightMaps used for) and the maps need to be -map=M_1A_P.umap+M_1B_P.umap

[cobalt nacelle]

Is there a reason my shaders compile every time I try to package? is there something I can do about it or is that just the way it is?

The reason is that you modified them since the last cook. Materials changed (should only affect a few shaders), engine update, etc

I'd like to store some files in a cloud service for the ChunkDownloader plugin to manage patches and DLCs . Which one would you recommend? File sizes in total about 10-50 gigs

So weird how a build can fail, and when you rebuild, it works, with no changes made...

Hi all! General question about something. I`ve made a blueprint that bassically moves a mesh along a spline.
This does work in the editor, but after exporting the game for win 64-bit it doest move. 0 errors in the output file of the export.
Tried to move pieces of code to different blueprints to trigger it (character / world / triggerboxes / key) Any ideas ?

[fickle cairn]

I have an issue with packaged projects and array variables in blueprints... the array values are populated when testing in editor, however with a packaged project the array variable is empty even when it shouldn't be. What's more odd, is that an nearly identical setup array variable in the same blueprint is not empty. -- these are instance populated array values, meaning for each blueprint instance in the level I may or may not populate the array with any number of values. However -- like I mentioned, in a packaged game, the populated arrays are empty. I know this because I do a "length" check in a script that loops over these arrays.

So, I'm not sure what is happening, why the values should not exist in a packaged game.

during gameplay, in published package I see the printout "No target tags")

(ue 4.26.2)

[fickle cairn]

OK, so the fix seems to be: add an empty array value in the parent blueprint class, (overwrite all predefined instance variables), then delete this empty useless variable, and add back the proper instance variables in editor... now they work. SMH, now I have to go back and re-populate all the different levels and their custom values because of that change to the blueprint. This seems completely un-scalable way of fixing these types of issues.

Sounds like you re using nativization, try disabling it

[open rapids]

can you tell me how 😄

😊

[mellow bane]

Well, it's disabled by default so you probably enabled it

Check your project settings

[open rapids]

how this option is called ?

[mellow bane]

Nativization

[mellow bane]

Set it to disabled

Inclusive might actually be the default, but assets from your Ultra_Dynamic_Weather plugin probably opt into it

[open rapids]

Okey, i set it to disabled, i will try to package again, i will give an update in 1h when the package is finish (i hope 🙂 ) THX stranger

[mellow bane]

This particular error will be gone at least 😆

[open rapids]

@mellow bane it seems it worked !!! thx !!! One more thing, will disable this option wont cause package game performance to go down ?

[mellow bane]

Nativization is supposed to help with CPU performance on the game thread, yes

Whether you need that performance in particular depends on profiling data for your game

[open rapids]

Okey the build is complete Thank you one more time ❤️

[dreamy panther]

Hi all, I'm getting a cooking error during FDistanceFieldVolumeTexture::Release() line 841 on UE 4.26

The exact error is a Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address

[mellow bane]

Check for warnings on meshes before that, failing that, run the packaging through debugger and crawl up in the call stack to find the offending asset

[dreamy panther]

How would I go about running packaging through the debugger?

[mellow bane]

Install debug symbols for the engine, attach Visual Studio's debugger to the running UE4 instance, start packaging, wait for crash, debug through the callstack while checking local vars

[dreamy panther]

Hmm - I've got debug symbols installed, and I'm attached with VS to the current UE4 instance - it doesn't hit a breakpoint in VS

Do I need to run in DebugGameEditor config or something?

[mellow bane]

The screenshot above is a crash

When it happens, it will very much trigger VS

[dreamy panther]

Well I can tell you now that's it's very much not haha

[mellow bane]

If it didn't, you didn't attach to the UE4 process

[haughty moss]

Guys please help me with this packaging issue

[mellow bane]

Read the log, errors are written in there

Fix all warnings and errors

[haughty moss]

I dont understand what dose it mean by cook

[mellow bane]

Cooking is the preparation of assets for use in non-editor builds

[haughty moss]

Is it very much important

[mellow bane]

It's the main step of packaging games

The only required one really

[haughty moss]

How can I cook

[mellow bane]

You just did

Read the log to find out which assets are broken

[haughty moss]

ok

[dreamy panther]

Right - I connected the debugger to the command line process (rather than the UE4 editor process) and it's hit the breakpoint.

I've found the particular mesh in question... now to work out why it's causing the issue

[mellow bane]

Check warnings in cooking logs, check warnings at import

[dreamy panther]

No warnings in the cooking logs, and none during import

It's a random LOD from one of the meta-human hair meshes

As it's lowest LOD, I'm just going to delete it and see if any other assets have the same issue or if it was a one off

[mellow bane]

Yeah I can't say I'm completely surprised

[dreamy panther]

Oh yeah? Any insight?

[mellow bane]

Not really insight, just that imho metahumans are very heavy and not really meant for game use

Not saying they shouldn't package; just not very surprised that it was such an asset

[fierce shadow]

how do i do over the air updates to a game someone downloaded off my website?

[mellow bane]

With your own update service, using for example itch.io's butler client

[rose forum]

Hi all. We packaged our game for our alpha testers. Now one of the testers got the error that he is missing the Visual C and DirectX Runtimes. Am I right that this should be fixed by installing the "UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe" which comes with the packaged game? And if so, is there a way to tigger that automatically for the end user? I searched this channel but didn't find an answer.

[mellow bane]

You should install the June 2010 DX runtime and the VC runtime from your VS version

That's on you, the game obviously cannot do it since it can't run without the VC runtime

On Steam these two are checkboxes

Same goes for GOG IIRC

If you have your own store you need your own mechanism for that - both have registry keys to detect in your custom launcher

[rose forum]

Many thanks for the reply. That helps already 👍

[rose forum]

Although this is a part where I have zero expertise ^^

[mellow bane]

Welcome to distributing games yourself

If you're trying to do alpha tests, let me point you to itch.io, which is free, open-source, let you have a game set to private or invite only, and handles this

[rose forum]

That's actually a good tip. Was thinking about this, but it actually wasn't on my radar that the prerequisites could be an issue.

[mellow bane]

The alternative is your own launcher that does the patching (can be built on top of itch's OSS butler client), and handles this stuff on top

Assuming you want your own distribution service

In this case you can simply check the command line help for both redist installers

They have a "check" option and a "silent" option to be ran as part of an installer

Which they usually are

[rose forum]

Actually a tutorial on that topic would be great. Many thanks for your elaborate replies. I will dig into that 👍

[mellow bane]

The tutorial for VC / DX redist is "run it with /h in console" i'm afraid

though for pure BP projects, running UE4PrereqSetup_x64 at boot before starting the game might simply work

Also has command line options too

[rose forum]

Now I actually get what you mean by command line options ^^

[inner island]

Thinking about moving to 4.26 - have they fixexd most of the issues?

[mellow bane]

Which ones ?

[rose forum]

It actually worked for the user with installing the "UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe". Even for a C++ project. So I would assume the user had some of the prerequisites installed already.

[mellow bane]

Or you use the same major MSVC release as Epic

Which is documented in the release notes for that engine version, in the platform or SDK notes near the end

[upper crescent]

Can someone help me with my packaging? every time i try to package my project i get this error

[craggy cobalt]

OK so my project is currently targetting only desktop, specifically SM5 on Windows. One of my characters has a hair material using shading model MSM_Hair (because its hair). During packaging, UE4Editor-Cmd.exe complains that this material cannot be built for ES3.1 (as its not supported, sure) and then when compiling shaders for further material instances of this material, it crashes due to an unchecked null-ref (directly due to the unbuilt shader for the hair material, confirmed via VS debugging on source build)

The crash is a bug for sure. But my question is: How do I just disable ES3.1, why would I need to do that considering ES3.1 is not a supported RHI on windows anyway, and should I really do that or do I actually need it?

The supported RHIs for Platform-Windows are set to SM5. Only Windows is ticked as supported platform in project settings. I've set the project as optimized for desktop as well. Afaict there is nowhere in my project settings that is asking for ES3.1. DX mobile emulation (ES3.1) is not checked.

I think I did once do a Play in Mobile Emulation just to see if it would work, though that was on 4.26.2 prebuilt bins and I've since rebuilt 4.26.2-release on GitHub from scratch and of course it had to recompile all shaders again, and the problem persists

[cold tapir]

I have an issue with LoadLevelInstance, which loads levels by name.
I set all "maps to cook" in the project settings, and when I run a desktop build this all works fine.
However in an Android build it can't find the levels.
[2021.06.30-08.37.17:763][347]LogPackageName: SearchForPackageOnDisk took 0.072s, but failed to resolve L_ENV_StartingArea_Base.
I have tried with both short name (only the level name) and long name (path + name)

[craggy cobalt]

I have solved my problem, thanks to some rubber-ducking in #ue4-general -- the issue is that Project Settings shows RHIs as disabled but in my DefaultEngine.ini there are additions for Vulkan ES3.1 and OpenGL ES 3.1. Removing these solves the problem

[craggy cobalt]

MapsToCook should be full level path

if you are doing that already, then failure to load it is weird

but i have actually set up an Asset Manager Primary Asset Type for Map

im not super certain this is necessary for me anymore (or ever), but i have:

[cold tapir]

Yeah I have the full paths

[cold tapir]

That seems quick enough to set up, might be worth a shot

and then I should load them through full path or name only?

[craggy cobalt]

my loads are by full level path

works fine for me so far

ultimately that level name goes all the way down to

LoadLevelInstance (the C++ method) should have the same semantics https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/Engine/ULevelStreamingDynamic/LoadLevelInstance/

[cold tapir]

Ill try it with OpenLevel and the asset managers set up. I used LoadLevelInstance as I need to load levels addatively

I'll be back later with the outcome :)

[craggy cobalt]

there is a note here

The level to be loaded does not have to be in the persistent map's Levels list, however to ensure that the .umap does get packaged, please be sure to include the .umap in your Packaging Settings:

Project Settings -> Packaging -> List of Maps to Include in a Packaged Build (you may have to show advanced or type in filter)

as long as you do that it should be ok

but at least my config might be helpful in what the docs arent showing

its likely if all is well in that exact setting, then you shouldnt need to set up a primary asset type. but doing so will ensure that the assets get cooked when you package

thats why i added it

[cold tapir]

^This didn't change anything yet...

Though I get that it might be necessary

So maybe this is not where the issue is

Hello
How should i fix a Can't find file warning that occurs when moveing files in the file (files that are referend by BP ? [thats audio file])

[mellow bane]

Move the files in the content browser, so that a redirector file is left for each

You can then use the fixup redirectors command and re-save all assets that use the move assets so that they point to the new path

Revert the move in source control and re-do it cleanly

[sour topaz]

any ideas on how to fix this?

[mellow bane]

Start by fixing all warnings and errors in the package process, might fix it

Other than that, you'll need to debug the packaging process with VS to understand which assets is responsible

[sour topaz]

thats...why im here

VS?

[mellow bane]

This isn't an error

It's an engine crash

Earlier in the log, you might have warnings and error messages about some assets ; fix them first

That might remove the crash, which is not normal behaviour (unlike warnings and errors)

Failing that, you need to debug the engine with Visual Studio

[sour topaz]

right

thx

[next dust]

Is there a way to include extra plugins/modules/scripts while building the project?
I want to add automated tests to the build only in certain cases soo is there a flag that can do it?
Or maybe i can add a custom flag which will turn on a plugin or add script to build?

[rain rock]

Hi. I've included plugin WhatsMyIP to my project and tried to make a build. I have an error: Cannot construct objects of type 'None' in Construct Object from Class. ANY IDEAS what is wrong?

[craggy cobalt]

you can also get the PDB (debug information) for the prebuilt engine, go to Options for your engine version. That will change "UnknownFunction" to the real function names, which might give you a hint what its about before needing to build the whole engine from source

[craggy cobalt]

are you sure its that particular Construct Object? otherwise kind of sounds like maybe when building the project the plugin providing Whats My Public IP isnt present (like two different engine installs and the plugin installed only to one), though the engine should yell at you if so

[rain rock]

I fixed it. See in Plugins channel.

I can't find these files in cpp or in my content folder, any idea from where it's calling it from?

it's the ThirdPersonOverview tutorial node

I re-added the ThirdPerson BP Feature template and deleted everything except this file, now i'm not getting any error

looking at reference viewer, it's not connected to anything

anyone know where/what looking for this file?

if I delete it, the error will come back again

[weak scaffold]

Hi All,
I'm trying to get my editor DLLs and game binaries to compile through Jenkins. Jenkins successfully compiles, runs unit tests and then submits to perforce. Running the game on another computer is fine, but when I try and load the editor, the editor loads to 70% and then crashes with:

[2021.07.01-06.41.32:773][  0]LogWindows: Error: === Critical error: ===
[2021.07.01-06.41.32:773][  0]LogWindows: Error:

....

I've tried a few different ways but the command I'm currently using to compile is:

%UE4PATH%\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Rebuild.bat %PROJECT_NAME%Editor %BUILD_PLATFORM% %BUILD_PROFILE% "%PROJECTDIR%\%PROJECT_NAME%.uproject" -rocket -editorrecompile -progress -noubtmakefiles -NoHotReloadFromIDE -waitmutex -Log=%PROJECTDIR%\Saved\Logs\Build-%PROJECT_NAME%%BUILD_TARGET%-%BUILD_PROFILE%-%BUILD_NUMBER%.log

this evaluates to:

%UE4PATH%\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Rebuild.bat VehicleAnimationEditor Win64 Development "%PROJECTDIR%\VehicleAnimation.uproject" -rocket -editorrecompile -progress -noubtmakefiles -NoHotReloadFromIDE -waitmutex

I've robocopied the engine from one machine to the other to ensure it is the same.

Compiling on the problem computer with the same command works fine, it's just when using binaries from the build computer.

any ideas where i might be going wrong?

I'm using 4.23 from the launcher at this stage

[craggy cobalt]

hmm maybe win32 vs win64?

[weak scaffold]

Hmm I don't think so, but I'll double check when I'm back at the computer. The same command is used on both computers.

It's such a strange issue

[craggy cobalt]

Here's a strange one for y'all. I've got a bunch of input button images (textures) I want to pull up programmatically, so to ensure they get built and can be referenced by IDs I went ahead and added a new Primary Asset type for them. No problems during PIE and standalone, but during packaging I get:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)):   LogInit: Display: LogAssetManager: Error: Registered PrimaryAssetId InputImage:Keyboard_Black_Caps_Lock for asset /Game/Packs/InputButtonImages/Keyboard___Mouse/Dark/Keyboard_Black_Caps_Lock.Keyboard_Black_Caps_Lock does not match object's real id of ! This will not load properly at runtime!

So the ID is ""? Is it just not possible to use Texture2D as primary assets?

[craggy cobalt]

Oh I think I just need this

[craggy cobalt]

ayyy successful package 🎉

[humble jolt]

hello, any idea on what to do ?

[mellow bane]

Sounds like you put an invalid variable in Scalability.ini

oh, gonna look for that

[drowsy iron]

We use VaREST to make a request that constructs actors based off the data. However, when running the Packaged application we get a crash.

[craggy cobalt]

that second one looks like a bad paste, open it and hit Compile

[drowsy iron]

Maximum number of UObjects (2162688) exceeded, make sure you update MaxObjectsInGame/MaxObjectsInEditor/MaxObjectsInProgram in project settings.

[craggy cobalt]

server give you too many objects to make, what's the question?

[drowsy iron]

I changed the number in cooked game from 0 to the same as editor, and i don't think it crashes anymore

What would be a way to mitigate that rezonant? I just bumped up the MaxObjectsInGame, but what else can be done?

[craggy cobalt]

it pretty clearly looks like whatever server is on the other side of that REST call is giving you more than 2 million objects. It shouldn't do that, I think we can all agree. But why it's doing that is the question and that's probably outside the scope here, as you wouldn't use REST if the server was an unreal server

if i knew more about the use case, maybe i could provide a higher level answer

[spring spear]

@craggy cobalt i switched over to a source build (of the same version/tag PLUS from Win to Mac) and apparently that requires a run of 'ResavePackages'
works now

[sturdy fable]

Anyone know what this means?

Heres my log for it

[pale sequoia]

Hi guys, Im trying to package my first android app, having some difficulty finding a good explanation on how to sign my project. When I fill in the keytool command in a cmd it gives me this: "java.io.FileNotFoundException: ExampleKey.keystore (Access is denied)". All tutorials Ive seen have no issues here. Can I not do this step in UE4 Project Settings with the GenerateNewSigningKeys button? Id be super grateful for any help here!

[shut bronze]

Hi! When compiling, I'd like to also copy my binaries on top of a previously packaged dir. This is because I only change code and I'd like to test the results and since my assets are unchanged my turnaround time ends up being significantly longer than it needs to. Now I remember seeing that you can ask the automation tool to do this for you somewhere it's just eluding me right now.

[mint leaf]

for your game?

just do do a compile with old cooked data

I think that would work

[runic stump]

You don't need to use UAT at all for such scenario. Cook full game once. And then just compile/run game using proper build configuration from IDE, using Saved/StagedBuilds/[Platform] as a working directory so game picks up cooked data from paks.

[shut bronze]

Yeah, fair enough. Using -BaseDir is also a good option. I guess I just got a little stubborn about doing that specifically. Thanks!

[dark shadow]

Hi everyone, I am working on demo version of my game. What is the easiest way to build a demo version of game which will be safe from hackers dwelling in packaged game to enable the full version? I currently only have configuration which switches between demo version and full version and it definitly does not seem safe. I would like to cut some assets from the game in build process depending whether i am building full version or demo version (like data assets used in game). But i do not now where to look for a easy solution.

[runic stump]

Oh, I didn't know about -BaseDir/-BaseFromWorkingDir (and it isn't supported under Linux for some random reason). Yeah, -BaseDir will effectively end up with the same results.

[fast ingot]

Hmm, just tossing this out here into the cosmos:
There is a single package that decides to hang up the cooking process 80% of the time - that is, I end up with it repeatedly stating that*** 1 package is remaining ***ad infinitum. The only option is to stop the build process and restart it and hope it manages to go through. This, obviously, prevents setting up any automation and wastes a looooot of precious time.

I've already run resavepackages on everything (started happening after moving to 4.26 if I recall correctly). I've tried to debug the cooking process and go through the threads to see what file handle is opened at that very moment but it's always optimised out at this point in time.... Debug build of the engine and cooker perhaps as the next step? :V

[mint leaf]

Check your build of stuff like navmesh works reliably

or lightmaps

[fast ingot]

no navmeshes so that's ez, but I'll see if rebuilding the lightmaps will do anything... cheers

[runic stump]

You just need to go to main thread of cooking process in debugger and look at cooking queue there. We got such behavior with Water plugin and Landmass when tried to use actor-per-file format for them. "Fixed" by moving them to a separate sublevel and saving that sublevel as a single umap, without file-per-actor thing.

[fast ingot]

if I've missed something as obvious as something being left in a cooking queue....

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

checking

[runic stump]

To be more exact, in our case UTextures were getting stuck. Cooker entered split personality mode when one half of it thought that texture needed to be cooked so was added to the cooking queue, while other half thought that texture was editor-only and didn't cook it.

[fast ingot]

hmm that sounds probable for our case

I've definitely been suspecting texture assets

might be some recently modified chunking/asset manager config confusing the poor fella

[lapis cypress]

Following a guide and I need the folder WindowsNoEditor/Engine/Binaries/Win64 and in this folder is a application called UE4Game. When building the game I don't have this file or folder, I have copied the guide exactly and it is not there. Any ideas?

[fast ingot]

Mm, probably found it. Thanks for tipping me off to look for queues in the cook server >_> It's a texture asset where it gets programmatically converted into power by 2 when assigned to a specific type of asset.... but it only gets marked as dirty, not automatically saved, so when people don't actually save the changed texture, stuff gets messed uuuup

@runic stump thankssss

@lapis cypress sure it's not just supposed to be named after the project name rather than ue4game?

btw, what's a clean way to force save changes to an asset programmatically if anyone happens to know so that I can avoid this in the future?

@lapis cypress the folder hierarchy sounds like what you get under [projectfolder]/Saved/StagedBuilds

[lapis cypress]

@fast ingot I'm not sure tbh but this is from the guide

He's added the server app

[fast ingot]

what is the guide? what are you trying to accomplish?

[rose forum]

Hi all. I was wondering if there is a good way of handling the following: I have a master project setup where I want to package different versions of the same project (needs adjustment on project settings, Android & iOS settings) to distribute them as individual apps. What would be the best way to deal with that in your opinion? I can get more specific if necessary. I thought of having different versions of the .ini files per project and then overwrite based on the project I want to build.

[vernal elm]

anyone know how to avoid PAK corruptions when packaging a game for steam

works fine till steam does its unpacking algo, and we end up with mismatches in size

[vocal citrus]

hey hey all nice meeting virtually! I having a bug where my app compiles on a mac but then crashes on launch because of eos core plugin marketplace library not loading. i tried using project launcher and it compiles +opens on machine but when i bring it to another machine doesnt work because it splits the app files. I'm curious if anyone might any ideas on a possible work around?

[craggy cobalt]

you know you can actually just override any of the INIs per platform in a single project though right?

"Each configuration category has its own hierarchy of files which specify engine-specific, project-specific, and platform-specific configurations."
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/ProductionPipelines/ConfigurationFiles/

[rose forum]

That's what I thought, thanks for the link 👍 But this would lead me, at least as I'm aware, to the solution with different config files per project and then overwrite the main ones when I want to build a specific project, right?

Maybe I can also give an example: For each Android project I want to distribute as an individual app, there has to be a name, key file asf which are all defined in the Project Settings - Android section (or DefaultEngine.ini). So when I want to build project A I need the DefaultEngineA.ini, for project B therefore DefaultEngineB.ini....

I thought of something like a build .bat via command line commands or something similar

[craggy cobalt]

no no, you dont have to overwrite anything

you just put it under [ProjectDirectory]/Saved/Config/[Platform]/[Category].ini

the editor will automatically coalesce the engine level, project level and platform level INIs together when loading

erm sorry thats the Saved one that i think is the coalesced final actually

[ProjectDirectory]/Config/[Platform]/[Platform][Category].ini

Maybe I can also give an example: For each Android project I want to distribute as an individual app, there has to be a name, key file asf which are all defined in the Project Settings - Android section (or DefaultEngine.ini). So when I want to build project A I need the DefaultEngineA.ini, for project B therefore DefaultEngineB.ini....
oh this is more complex, why have multiple projects in one uproject ?

and do you mean like, multiple games in one project?

[rose forum]

The reason is actually that although the apps have to be distributed as individual apps they primarily differ in content but not functionality, which makes it easier to manage that way. Think of it more like a business app and not a game.

[craggy cobalt]

oh ok, like a white-labelled or multi-tenant sort of model

do the functionality work once, reskin, throw other content in it

[rose forum]

yes along those lines 👍

[craggy cobalt]

ahh yeah youd definitely just have to do config swapping with a tool of some kind

might be able to leverage the Automation system in unreal and UnrealAutomationTool

i dont know much about it though

[rose forum]

Sure I will have a more in depth look into that. That's actually where my current research stopped ^^

Many thanks for your support 💪

[craggy cobalt]

np, good luck

[silk hull]

Hey ever since the UE4.26 presentation (almost a year ago) I was wondering about how to use the Zen Loader. There is basically no info or documentation online. the best i could find was this short segment https://youtu.be/OchRhhRaE5s?t=1851

but since I haven't done much outside the default packaging options yet i have no idea what this means and where to put this modifier

[karmic gulch]

Hey guys, I'm getting this error when trying to deploy apk onto Oculus Quest 2, since the latest update to 30 (Oculus update):

INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Package /data/app/vmdl793865912.tmp/base.apk has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml

Is this related to signing apk, packacking, or? I'm kinda lost now...

[paper raptor]

I have a problem please help

im unable to package the game

i think its because i renamed my project but I cant find a fix

[fast ingot]

Is it a c++ project? In that case, I would close the editor first of all. Then open up the project folder in your IDE. Rename UE4Game.Target.cs and UE4GameEditor.Target.cs (if it exists) to the new name. Change all occurrences of UE4Game within those files as well. Then rename the module folder as well. And the build.cs file, etc. etc., then regenerate the project files

[paper raptor]

its a blueprint project

[fast ingot]

after regenerating and if you renamed everything correctly, you should be able to open in the editor and package the correct target

oh

well

[paper raptor]

also my project's name is DeathRealm

not ue4

ue4game*

I tried to delete the line "buldtarget= UE4Game" from the configs but that doesnt work

[fast ingot]

Not familiar with messing with blueprint projects. Maybe migrate the content to a new project with the correct name I guess.

[paper raptor]

Its a pretty big project so im afraid its going to be quite time consuming

if i decide to do that

[fast ingot]

One thing you could try is delete the Saved and Intermediate folders and regenerate the project files

otherwise I'd have to give it a whirl myself to see

[paper raptor]

oh i see

i will send you the logs

the packaging ends instantly as soon as i press package

[fast ingot]

Yeah, that is to be expected if the target is now named DeathRealm

[paper raptor]

I wanted the target to be empty

i dont even know what it exactly does so I always leave that field empty anyway

and normally package

[fast ingot]

the target is usually the name of the game module

[paper raptor]

also I think you may keep in mind that I integrated Nvidia DLSS

if that helps with the case

oh

[fast ingot]

Try DeathRealm if that is indeed the name of the project :)

[paper raptor]

yup it is

and I think i tried it once

but it was auto set back to UE4Game

when i tried to package

[fast ingot]

lol I've half the mind to ask to screen share

[paper raptor]

sure

one second

these are the logs btw

I cleared the entire output log and started packaging again to make it clear whats the problem in the logs

even the build target is the same as project name

[fast ingot]

just a tick...

[paper raptor]

tick?

[fast ingot]

sec. tick. minute.

[paper raptor]

ah sure

[fast ingot]

'LogLauncherProfile: Found promoted target with matching version at ../../../Engine/Binaries/Win64/UE4Game.target' umm did you rename the engine folder as well?

[paper raptor]

engine folder?

wait you mean this one

I dont think i renamed any folder besides the project fodler itself

[fast ingot]

ok testing

have you tried deleting the saved and intermediate folders?

and reopening the project?

[paper raptor]

not yet

ill give it a try

[fast ingot]

that should basically be the first thing to try when dealing with stuff like this, especially if you did something as massive as rename the entire thing

[paper raptor]

the first thing i did was actually just add the line [URL]
GameName=DeathRealm

then validated the project

then fixed redicectors

then went to google

alright deleted them

trying now

[fast ingot]

Pretty sure all you needed to do in a BP only project was to rename the folder and .uproject file I thiiiiiink

considering that was sufficient for my BP only project and did not result in packaging issues

[paper raptor]

you actually have to rename the Engine Config too

yeah about htat

that*

sometimes it just genreates a name on its own

sometimes it causes an error like htis

this*

and its the first time it caused me this error
