right

cerulean salmon Oct 26, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

element count != size in bytes

#

one element is always 16 bytes, there's 4096 elements at most so that's 4096 * 16 = 65536 bytes

solid cypress Oct 26, 2021, 11:48 PM

#

const uint32 GConstantBufferSizes[MAX_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SLOTS] = 
{
    // CBs must be a multiple of 16
    (uint32)Align(MAX_GLOBAL_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE, 16),
};

will be GConstantBufferSizes[0] still 4096 if MAX_GLOBAL_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE is 4096?

#

Because GConstantBufferSizes[0] is then used in FD3D11DynamicRHI::InitConstantBuffers()

#

what will then call new FWinD3D11ConstantBuffer(this, Size)

#

Which will assign MaxSize = Size;

#

and do the check() I mentioned above

#

so the check() will fail if you increase D3D11_REQ_CONSTANT_BUFFER_ELEMENT_COUNT to something bigger than 4096

#

I might be wrong as this is not my field 😅

cerulean salmon Oct 26, 2021, 11:51 PM

#

max element count is correct at 4096

solid cypress Oct 26, 2021, 11:52 PM

#

I am not saying the fix is wrong just that I suspect it will cause that check() to fail, so that check() might need fixing too?

#

because MaxSize == MAX_GLOBAL_CONSTANT_BUFFER_SIZE which you set to 65536

#

and D3D11_REQ_CONSTANT_BUFFER_ELEMENT_COUNT is 4096

#

so the check will be
check(65536 < 4096)

cerulean salmon Oct 26, 2021, 11:54 PM

#

don't know about dx11, might need a different fix there

#

I don't have a source engine build that would run with dx11 atm

#

(the fix I PRd is only for DX12 constant buffers)

#

in any case, I'll wait for someone to react on the PR

solid cypress Oct 26, 2021, 11:56 PM

#

yup, I noticed when MathewW pointed it out. I am curious too to see what will be the reply and what is the reasoning behind setting size to 4096 o.O

#

I just tested DX11 with 65536 and that check is indeed failing, so I changed it to
check(MaxSize <= D3D11_REQ_CONSTANT_BUFFER_ELEMENT_COUNT * 16 && (MaxSize % 16) == 0);
but I have no idea whether it is a correct thing to do. We will see what Epic replies.

the unnamed step bug is still in 5.0 i see. i was wondering if they'd notice by now, but i guess no-one uses functional tests much.
all they need to do is change FString StepName = TEXT(""); to
FString StepName = GetCurrentStepName();

Once you save an asset with 5.0, there is no turning back to 4.x

differnece of 5.0 branch and ue5-release-engine-staging branch?

spring ocean Oct 27, 2021, 4:40 PM

the package versioning is basically 4.26 = 5.0EA < 4.27 = 5.0 < ue5-main (5.1), you can always go forwards but not back

cursive finch Oct 27, 2021, 5:12 PM

ashen kiln Once you save an asset with 5.0, there is no turning back to 4.x

You can by doing what Alexey said. I commented that code and I was able to open assets created in 5.1 in 5.0

cerulean salmon Oct 27, 2021, 8:20 PM

Hey, I'm trying to compile ue5 from source, and it's taking ~8hours to compile.
CPU usage is at ~20%
Memory usage is at ~75%
I've got everything installed to an m.2 ssd and disk usage is at ~5%

I can't figure out why it's being so slow. It feels like it just isn't trying to use the system resources that I have available. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas?

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 5:17 AM

#

I'm honestly getting some really weird stats as well

#

I guess I could suggest excluding the folder from antivirus

#

Also make sure it's using all threads and that you have enough ram per thread (~2gb)

#

(and a huge pagefile with free space)

#

Off I go to buy a 5950x

#

even then I'm seeing rather weird build times

#

my binary 4.27 builds game projects like 10x faster

#

while 5.1 chills for 200 seconds once build jobs start

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:32 AM

#

okay, so I excluded the folder from antivirus
I increased my pagefile to ~130gb
I've got a 3900x already, I don't think a cpu upgrade would make a huge difference. Maybe more ram would though.
Yeah, build times feel really weird in 5.1, I could built 4.26 in about an hour, not sure what's going on

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 5:33 AM

#

I'm clueless when it comes to the build system honestly

#

I wonder if building a binary would make game projects build faster

#

seems worth the effort

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:34 AM

#

yeah, not sure if it would make a difference after you build for the first time

#

I don't really know any better, but at the moment cl.exe is only running one process with a "below normal" priority

#

is that normal?

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 5:36 AM

#

It's below normal actually 🙂

#

Just kiddin

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:36 AM

#

ahaha

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 5:36 AM

#

You can set an ini for shader compilation prio but I don't know about C++ compilation

#

even then the time difference seems vast

#

my PC is pretty much unusable while compiling anyways

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:37 AM

#

honestly I kinda wish mine was, at least it would feel like it's doing something

#

I thought that normally multiple instances of cl.exe get spawned at once, and they work together to compile faster

#

maybe I'm wrong though

eager hedge Oct 30, 2021, 5:42 AM

#

sounds like the process count is set too low

#

iirc ue5 changed how the max compilation process count is decided - I think by default it's now limited by ram and cpu cores?

#

might be misremembering though. Either way, it can be overridden.

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 5:42 AM

#

I'm still seeing 8 jobs with my 8 threads

#

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">

    </ParallelExecutor>
    <TaskExecutor>
        <ProcessorCountMultiplier>2</ProcessorCountMultiplier>

</Configuration>```

#

MemoryPerActionBytes is a cheese strat to stop it from limiting them

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:43 AM

#

process count is set to 24

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 5:43 AM

#

I'll try and just revert this to see if that helps

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:43 AM

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:44 AM

#

I think multi-processor compilation might be turned off

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 5:45 AM

#

try messing with your BuildConfiguration.xml to resemble the one I posted sans the MemoryPerAction trick

#

and I guess 24 instead of 8

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 5:45 AM

#

I thought the buildconfiguration was used for building a project?

#

#

I'm testing building using rider instead of visual studio, tentatively looking like it might be working better

#

yep, it's working

static copper Oct 30, 2021, 6:58 AM

#

strange, I wonder what VS was doing wrong

#

wrong msbuild?

pale quarry Oct 30, 2021, 7:01 AM

#

honestly I don't know much about c++ build related stuff, it felt like visual studio couldn't recognize that the code was c++ code, because it wouldn't let me edit any of the c++ settings for the project.
If anyone else has any weird/similar issues, hopefully this helps them

Probably they've forgot to change the plugin's build.cs file

#

you can check that file, and ensure all paths are correct

crimson granite Nov 3, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

The plugin's build.cs file doesn't know which directory it's in

#

Are the paths set in a different file? Maybe a UE5 Rule build.cs?

ashen kiln Nov 3, 2021, 5:42 PM

#

Not sure what does that mean. build.cs files are automatically detected

#

If you're not using interchange plugin, you can just disable it on your uproject file and compile issues will probably go away.

crimson granite Nov 3, 2021, 5:44 PM

#

Hmm yeah but the latest UE5 build lists 30 or so plugins that have moved directories that it can't find. Some of them are probably essential.

#

So you're saying the build.cs files locations are detected automatically then?

#

Something like CookedIterativeFile.Build.cs doesn't even exist anymore from what I can tell

Hmm.. there is a release staging branch of UE5. Is it new (indicating release might happen this year) or old ?

then what is there on the launcher?

chrome ingot Nov 4, 2021, 1:46 PM

Early access. A preview of the preview.

#

Preview 1 is "we are done, now it's just cleaning up random bugs" before .0

solid cypress Nov 4, 2021, 1:52 PM

I hope there will be a preview, so that it won't be just big GDC presentation and bang 5.0 out. Would be nice to let Epic tackle bugs of various migrated projects before actually releasing 5.0

Epic always does a preview cycle where they release multiple previews, sometimes as many as 7. I can't imagine them not doing that for 5.0

how do I check how long a build took in rider, I'm not seeing a start time even, just an end time

eager hedge Nov 4, 2021, 9:50 PM

One of the last lines in the build output should be the time it took

#

it should also be showing the start time as one of the first lines in the output

#

admittedly this is with the sln project format, not rider's uproject support. Not sure if the output differs.

I didnt have the total execution time above succeeded, and I didn't have a start time at the top of the output. I just went into riders build settings > presentation and changed show build results after build completed from only if errors to always

it looks like my 32 gb ram isn't enough to compile the engine 5.0 branch with 8 threads. always got out of heap space at some point
this answer helped me to limit compile threads amount https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/any-way-to-limit-the-number-of-microsoft-c-c-compiler-driver-cl-exe-instances-while-compile/211403/3

Just in case someone needs this fix, this is my BuildConfiguration.xml, just tweak 0.5 number, smaller decimal = less threads, bigger decimal up to 1 = more threads. MaxProcessorCount looks like does nothing, just matched the number of threads at **Building X actions with Z processes… **after tweaking **ProcessorCountMultiplier **just in case.

scarlet pulsar Nov 6, 2021, 12:04 AM

are you using visual studio 2019 and standard setup (maybe compile options that monitor memory)?
do you run the compilation from gui or cli?
do you run clean compile or maybe update from previous builds?

I literally observed memory commit size crawling up to 4GB on each compile thread at some point. 4x8=32 obviously it didn't make further.
but also I have swap file disabled

using 2019 community, nothing special done at all beyond using the build.xml pinned in this post

i do get some compilers going near 2gb, but nothing super out of crazy.

and its always a clean build. get the latest from git, run setup, run generate project files, open .sln, run clean, run build on the UE4 project, wait

scarlet pulsar Nov 6, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

swap file on HDD really helps, and funny thing, it is almost never actually used - the HDD is almost alway idle. probably compiler threads request a lot of memory they don't need in the end.
no need to waste space on SSD, and no need to worry that HDD swap will cause compile performance hit

Does UE5 have console support yet?

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

It's always had console support. Are you asking about something specific?

#

If you're asking why consoles aren't supported out of the box, it's because you need an agreement with the console manufacturer before you're allowed access to their platform.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:07 PM

#

For the Truesky plugin by default it has references to all COnsoles "PS5 PS4 Xbox XSX switch"

#

Even on a build of ue without the proper Epic zips the engine compiles (Basically on a build of the engine without console support for PS5 and 4 built in)

#

but for 5 it just spouts out a bunch of errors

#

even when i have the proper Zips and the proper SDKs

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:11 PM

#

That's probably because the plugin wasn't updated for 5.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:11 PM

#

the plugin was

#

On the private github there was a UE5 release put out recently

#

UBT spouts out that the platforms "PS5 PS4 XSX XboxOne etc. " arent defined

#

nothing about the plugin being outdated

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:15 PM

#

I mean, if it doesn't build with 5 then it obviously wasn't updated correctly. Either that or you're trying to use the plugin against the wrong version of UE5.
Also, certain platforms were dropped or renamed in UE5.

#

The reason for those errors isn't because the engine doesn't support consoles.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

this is the error that UBT put out

📎 message.txt

#

also i dont think the platform names were renamed as the Epic Zips still are named the same

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:18 PM

#

Well to start... Win32 as a platform is gone.

#

So is XboxOne as it has been replaced by the GDK.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:19 PM

#

so just GDK?

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:19 PM

#

XboxOneGDK. Which is still being complained about, but it's not clear to me why as that target platform does exist.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:20 PM

#

a quick name replacement should do the trick in that case, but what about PS5 and XSX?

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:20 PM

#

those all should exist.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:24 PM

#

im guessing its just a couruption then, extracting the epic zips for PS5 and 4 spout out more errors, Im going to try moving the plugin to a build of UE5 that isnt Simuls

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:24 PM

#

Hmm, interestingly enough the *newer console platforms aren't defined on github.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:24 PM

#

hmm

#

nvm

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:28 PM

#

it's likely that the newer console platforms simply aren't in the publicly available code on github.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

UE5s showcases are on the newer platforms

#

and epic has support available for PS5 and 4

#

via the FTP site

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:31 PM

#

Yes, because the engine supports those platforms

#

if you have an agreement with the console manufacturers, show epic proof that you have an agreement, and get access to the engine code that supports those platforms.

#

Not sure why that's hard to understand - they likely removed references to those platforms on github because the github codebase doesn't technically support it.

cyan laurel Nov 6, 2021, 8:33 PM

#

I do have access to PS5 and 4, and have verified with epic

eager hedge Nov 6, 2021, 8:33 PM

then you need to take it up with epic, that code is NDA'd and this isn't really the place to discuss it.

Try restarting your computer, probably a process is stuck in background

Also your method is correct. Just you don't need to clean, or rebuild. Just do a regular build, and compiler will build only changed modules.

cheers, but thats what made me post to ask, I did restart and I was still getting that which was absolutely bizarre.

I see, I saw someone above was doing a clean whenever they updated, but the last time I updated successfully I didn't clean, I didnt run setup and generate project files, should I still run those?

grizzled birch Nov 7, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

spring rock cheers, but thats what made me post to ask, I did restart and I was still gettin...

Yeah it's me, yes you run setup/which downloads dependency if anything new, you run setup project file (cause some modules could have files added/ removed.) It also builds the unreal build tool modules.(from the console prompt)

#

Like I also mentioned, you need to remove all local changes from your engine github root.(sorry, I 9/10 don't know what those files do, but if I don't need them when I first download and build them, I don't need them in my way just in case)

#

The rider/vs build is probably smart enough where you don't need to do clean rebuild. But I do that anyways to keep my room warm.

spring rock Nov 7, 2021, 10:40 PM

#

I did have success updating 5.0 originally without needing to discard the changes, thats something I was also going to ask

#

I originally thought to discard changes as well and thought the same thing. I just deleted and re-cloned the whole thing to fix the process in use problem, but going forward I'll try not cleaning the solution

Hi there, noob question for UE5, is UE5-main the new "main", i.e. is that where head of development for 5 is going? is the old "main" essentially dead? Also, do people here generally agree on a "good" revision of the "5.0" branch, or are they sticking with the latest from day to day?

At least until the 5.0 release then UE5-main is the "new main" and the old main only for UE4. That might change when UE5 5.0 is released.
The only way to currently see a "good" revision of the 5.0 branch is to see people posting here. There is a Discord server that a member here maintains that builds ue5-main regularly and reports on build success/fail, but it doesnt test features and currently doesnt do the 5.0 branch

I wonder if 5.0 plans to respect -Set:HostPlatformEditorOnly=true(if not inside Apple system) or -set:WithIOS=false flags so no more IOS hacks are needed to finish build. It could be simple to do i do not know. This is modified .xml that has certain iOS parts deleted but commands could make ignore those parts and problem solved.

I started to wonder, is there some cli commands that could be applied UnrealEditor.exe to decrease first start permutations. This could be very important for power users who like to save first start shader build times. Especially those who build engine from source time to time. Switching features off for shaders afterwards is counter productive

you can disable nanite and lumen in your engine config file, this may help

ashen kiln you can disable nanite and lumen in your engine config file, this may help

Those are reason nr1 i use UE5, it would be good to switch other things off like mobile shader permutations, Path Tracer, Stationary Skylight and so on. Would be good to limit or enable selected things by command. I would use custom .cmd to launch Unreal and would be good to use different options. I hope EPIC devs think about that one day.

ashen kiln Nov 9, 2021, 12:56 PM

#

I think you have options to disable those in rendering part of project settings, so you can just disable them beforehand in your .ini and launch the project.

#

I don't think you can do that with commandline, that's not how unreal engine works and parses parameters.

In case anyone else runs into this issue on recentish 5.0 commits and searches for a solution... AutomationTool is broken in at least the very specific case where you run it from a custom "installed" build with compile disabled (ie RunUAT BuildCookRun -nocompile -nocompileeditor).
Spent way too much time trying to figure out why - turns out creating an installed build via BuildGraph (Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml) won't copy over some files that's necessary for AutomationTool.
The fix I found was to add Engine/Intermediate/ScriptModules/... to CopyEditorFilter in Engine/Build/InstalledEngineFilters.xml before running BuildGraph again. Not sure if that's the "right" way to fix it, but it at least got things working for me.

Any ideas? Does that mean the compile will fail?

eager hedge Nov 10, 2021, 10:25 PM

#

Hmm... found what seems like an odd bug with custom installed builds and UBT - creating an installed build and setting your project's EngineAssociation to it will work perfectly fine (compiles and runs as expected). But... the generated UE5 vcxproj ends up with missing include paths (it doesn't set the include paths for the engine source at all). It doesn't affect compilation since UBT doesn't use the vcxproj, but it means that IDEs (including Rider running in sln mode) can't navigate between h/cpp correctly and engine cpp files are full of errors due to missing include paths.
Anyone else seen this? Or am I the only one trying to make installed builds with 5.0 😛

I managed to get past that build step thanks to your suggestion @spring rock , but when reaching "Build Tools CS" it fails. It's trying to build SwarmCoordinator.csproj with .NET Framework 4.5 but I don't have it installed and even if I did I can't use it with VS2022. The error message suggests retargeting as another possible fix, but if I do that manually (to 4.8) it won't really help since it looks like the .csproj files are being overwritten at some point in the build process, even if I don't specify the -clean option. I'm not sure where in the build process this overwrite happens, and if there's any way to make it so the files are created for 4.8. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Upon looking in the InstalledEngineBuild.xml I found that the "Build Tools CS" node copies the source for the tools from Engine/Source/Programs and Engine/Source/Editor/SwarmInterface. Went to those locations and searched for all .sln files and retargeted them (if needed) to .NET Framework 4.8, then did the same for .csproj files that weren't part of a solution (I think there was only 1 or 2 though). Upon doing this, the build completed successfully!

torpid valve Nov 16, 2021, 8:04 PM

right now ? main is most stable 😄

#

5.0 is under heavy development

release-engine-testing/staging is for merging changes from 5.0 to main

if launcher will get preview of 5.0 that will be it

#

or if by some miracle next fortnite season will be on 5.0

you think to much about version numbers

they are for assets

#

not for you to think it's somewhat stable 😄

#

next onyx oof how long does 5.0 take to compile, I'm here and it's been 40 minutes

you generally dont need to compile all 5k+ modules. once you have the source downloaded and have run setup/generate, then you can right click on a uproject and switch engine version to your custom one. then, once you open and compile that project it will compile only the modules your game uses, which in my case cuts it down to around 2300-2600. manually editing the uproject file to tone down on plugins helps a lot, especially if you flag the project with "DisableEnginePluginsByDefault": true like I do.

#

*when using that flag the plugin "PluginBrowser" must be added to the uproject tho, so you can at least open the plugin list to add your bare minimum plugins, otherwise you cant do much with the bare engine

#

you dont even have a working content browser

Unreal Engine: 12th Gen Intel Core vs AMD Ryzen 5000 Series

Intel has launched their new 12th Gen Intel Core desktop processors (code-named "Alder Lake") featuring support for DDR5, PCIe 5.0, as well as a completely new hybrid architecture using a mix of Performance and Efficient-cores. This is a lot of new technologies in one product, so we are excited to see how much of a performance boost the 12th Gen...

Is it true that new Intel cpu's has overkill power draw now? i have not checked yet, but power prices crisis makes me especially think that.

#

anyone share any insight into what's changing at a high level with network prediction, why encapsulate all that in a plugin?

echo ravine Nov 17, 2021, 11:45 AM

#

Most new engine features are plugins by design, the goal is to make the engine (and games themselves) a lot more modular

#

That way you can simply opt into them

steep wharf Nov 17, 2021, 11:45 AM

#

Now just have to go through them all 😄

#

so many cool things happening

#

I just thought prediction would always be tied into features like GAs and movement comp

#

I see some things are moving to more static library calls, which seem sensible

#

seeing how they added a lot more movement component types it probably all will make sense eventually

#

right now I'm overwhelmed keeping up

opaque phoenix Nov 17, 2021, 12:38 PM

#

more movement component types?

echo ravine Nov 17, 2021, 12:39 PM

#

Yeah, dunno about that one, but I also don't know the prediction plugin much

opaque phoenix Nov 17, 2021, 12:45 PM

#

hmmm

#

nevertheless I am hyped for the new stuff

echo ravine Nov 17, 2021, 12:49 PM

#

Yeah i'm fairly certain there is no new movement component though

limpid light Nov 17, 2021, 1:13 PM

not much, and with fewer cores

torpid valve Nov 17, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

what's your definition of that? i9's or threadrippers?

steep wharf Nov 17, 2021, 2:03 PM

#

opaque phoenix more movement component types?

No, I was tripping, the classes I'm looking at are derived from actorcomponent

#

more modular bits, the movement components inheritance looks the same apart from Chaos/known stuff

#

the specific one I'm interested in at the moment is motion trajectory component and how it ties into animation changes

#

it mentions prediction, very cool!

#

I think I'd be happy to just get distance matching working first though

wheat salmon Nov 17, 2021, 7:32 PM

#

on which branch are you? not happening for me, I'm on latest ue5-main

#

Someone got the Lightmass to work again? I was able to identify that one crash comes from the fact FVector4 is now 64bit but It seems the lib giving us a buffer doesn't know that and just allocates for a 32 bit vector which results in an access violation

My bad i thought you talked about GPU lightmass, yes i agree old should be buried

#

CPU lightmass is so ancient that it should stay within ue4 only

Does anyone know roughly when dedicated servers started to really break with ue5-main?

#

I think I might try to upgrade my older commit (from back in September) to something more recent

#

But my current setup requires that I launch a dedicated server session in order to test my game and I don't have the time currently to try to write hybrid support as a work around for now

oblique basin Nov 18, 2021, 7:46 PM

#

not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there any tutorial on adding a specular shader to UE5? I need to work with assets that use specular color and unfortunately UE4/5 don't support it natively

eager hedge Nov 18, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

Unreal's PBR model supports a specular channel, do you mean something else?

oblique basin Nov 18, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

sorry, I meant to use specular color

eager hedge Nov 18, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

Yeah, if you want something that isn't covered by the built in channels you need a custom model. I don't know if I'd call it difficult, but it involves engine modifications and isn't well documented.

oblique basin Nov 18, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

yeah thats what I figured. hoped someone already shared how to do that stuff, unfortunately most I find about the subject is complaints about the lack of it 😄

eager hedge Nov 18, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

There's definitely a few articles out there to get you started, but nothing super comprehensive

#

search for "unreal custom shading model"

oblique basin Nov 18, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

problem is the color would still be derived from Base Color, and I have two separate textures for Base Color and Specular Color

eager hedge Nov 18, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

it's worth trying other options though

#

you can do a "fake specular color" using certain other channels - might give you the look you want, might not

#

stuff like screwing with emissive color

oblique basin Nov 18, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

I found this, but some of the images are removed and its impossible to see the entire material https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/custom-specular-calculation/4671

#

he pasted the mateiral into text but it only creates the comments when I paste it, no nodes.

eager hedge Nov 18, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

check out this one which looks simpler - https://realtimevfx.com/t/ue4-materials-anyways-to-customize-specular-highlight-color/17764

#

It won't be perfect

#

but if it's good enough it'll save you the headache of implementing a custom shading model

oblique basin Nov 18, 2021, 8:06 PM

#

yeah I need it for an entire level

#

I found this code from Activision's Research presentations for Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, that's how they convert color + spec color to base color + metallic

#

I'll try that, see what results I get

#

it starts here at page 105, if anyone's interested.. https://www.activision.com/cdn/research/2017_DD_Rendering_of_COD_IW.pdf

torpid valve Nov 18, 2021, 9:27 PM

Unreal does not use specular color

#

there was presentation long time ago tl;dr version is that grey is good enough

#

but it doesn't matter

#

there is new shading model in the work codenamed Strata

there might be what you want or not we will see ;

What is a BSDF?

The term "BSDF" is common in Cycles shaders such as "Diffuse BSDF" and "Glass BSDF" but is not present in all names ("Emission" and "Mix Shader" are two such examples).

What exactly is a BSDF?

@echo ravine what commit are you on?

spring rock Nov 21, 2021, 9:55 PM

#

I think nvidia has their own branch of unreal with a more updated path tracer and DLSS publicly available (IIRC, which I may not be)

spring rock Nov 21, 2021, 10:25 PM

#

PSA: don't set the near clip plane to 0

#

setting it to 0.000001 appears to work normally

is there any other way ( button ) to trigger the live reload my key combo doesnt seem to be doing shit all the sudden?

spring rock Nov 21, 2021, 10:45 PM

#

reload doesn't work properly, it still can't properly reload header files, chances are your key combo is working, but the reload isn't, try closing the editor and building your project

crimson granite <@!223305281700888576> what commit are you on?

I've tested three different commits over the past two weeks thinking it might be fixed, so any recent version of the 5.0 branch should have the issue AFAIK

#

Guess I can look at nvidia's branch

#

Doesn't look like there's a public 5.0 branch on the NvRTX repo though

Try disabling snapping or setting it to a smaller value.

basically the same thing

#

i didn't read most of the source code but is logmass MassEntity?

#

#

this was the culprit

#

#

i didn't enable a few of those dependencies

#

will try now

#

still says unresolved dependencies

high basin https://i.imgur.com/5el05xe.png

one of the mass processors in I think representation is not on by default? let me see

#

UMassRepresentationProcessor I think

#

this is a mass ECS processor issue and not a plugin issue

#

enabling MassGameplay might cause the processor to see it though? let me try...

#

wait actually my shit is too tied to massmovement to check, oh well

high basin Nov 22, 2021, 1:56 PM

#

@static copper

#

thanks for making me think of something

#

i just searched mass

#

and enabled the 2 other Mass plugins

#

and it worked

no documentation though so no idea how to use them yet haha

It's an archetype style ecs. Check the existing processes to see examples of usage

#

No bp support yet besides the trait definitions afaik

#

As for the crowd systems I will have to read it more

slim violet Nov 22, 2021, 4:54 PM

Well that's odd. I keep seeing these errors during build all of the sudden:

1>CVTRES : fatal error CVT1107: 'C:\src\UE5Main\Engine\Plugins\2D\Paper2D\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UnrealEditor\Debug\Paper2DEditor\Module.Paper2DEditor.cpp.obj' is corrupt
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt

limpid light Nov 22, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

Do a clean and then try rebuilding 🙂

slim violet Nov 22, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

Yeah I was hoping to avoid that, but I think there might not be a way around it.

limpid light Nov 22, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

just be sure to build a game project, then you dont need to build the whole engine

slim violet Nov 22, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

Ok

#

I'm not sure just cleaning the project will do it, because the corrupt file is located in the engine path.

limpid light Nov 22, 2021, 5:25 PM

#

It's under an Intermediate folder, so it's built by you

slim violet Nov 22, 2021, 5:25 PM

#

I fixed it by deleting the intermediate build folder for just that plugin, targeting just the unreal editor folder

#

then rebuilding of course

spring rock Nov 22, 2021, 6:09 PM

swift panther Try disabling snapping or setting it to a smaller value.

I did try playing with the snapping values, turning it on and off, and the new snapping button as well but I couldn't get anything to move except by typing in the transform manually, the transform right click menu was still working, just the gizmo

ashen kiln Nov 22, 2021, 7:02 PM

I was about to update our engine source, I'm lucky I saw about that issue lol. Otherwise level designers in the team would riot kekw

somebody needs to put that up on the welcome faq with hot reload

Can i delete obj files after building from source? Engine itself is more than 150gb right now and its just on development configuration.

echo ravine Nov 22, 2021, 7:43 PM

#

You can

lofty idol Nov 22, 2021, 7:44 PM

#

echo ravine You can

doesnt it trigger another build?

echo ravine Nov 22, 2021, 7:45 PM

#

The obj files aren't required, no

#

Though of course if you do build that'll need a full rebuild from scratch

spring rock Nov 22, 2021, 8:57 PM

#

@swift panther @ashen kiln, hey, really sorry to ping you guys but I figured I would update you with the gizmo issue, turns out when you set the Near Clip Plane to a very low value (0.000001) you can't move anything with the transform gizmo. Now that I've set it back to the default of 10, things are movable again. We have a massive CAD scene that we couldn't unit convert, so it imported to ue very very small, which is why we set that value in the first place. Sorry for the false alarm! Although I would recommend setting the minimum value of near clip plane to 1, since issues seem to occur going below 1. Cheers!

#

is there a setting for far plane?

#

im not seeing it in editor or project settings

#

oh the far view plane in the viewport settings, got it, will keep that in mind, thanks

Build last week (Wed/Thurs) and it's totally busted. Landscape material layers don't appear to work at all. Only index 0 of the landscape layers is ever visible.

If anyone spots that it's been fixed, would hugely appreciate a notification!

The engine (and building/ compiling) is a mix of C# and C++, so yes. I believe it's specifically .Net 3.1 as well
