Advanced Sessions Plugin

[mordentral]

Hello, I have the engine built from source and I put the advanced sessions inside Engine/Plugins but for some reason when I compile I get a few errors when building. Any advice?

See

Try #include "Modules/ModuleManager.h"
But more importantly look at the latest version on bitbucket

I had to change some more source files recently


*Also bggangel* thanks for replying to him, but you quoted the wrong guy

Oh so I figured out it is an issue with replicating the character select screen in multiplayer so I have to figure out how to do that. I am assuming the host is the only one who can pick a character and it doesnt replicate for anyone else. I just dont know how to fix this

Hello everyone!
How can I do a Proximity Voice Chat with this plugin? For example a player can only hear me when I am in his near and I can only hear him if he is in my near.
THIS is the most important feature for my project thanks.

True proximity isn't possible with it, that either needs voice engine changes or to use the new VOIP Talker component in 4.19 (only null subsystem supports that currently).

You can do a hard on/off with MuteRemoteTalker though based on distance.

Hi There !

I am trying to Create/Find/Join Session on LAN, testing on the same PC (from two copies of the same project), on 4.19 with

 [OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=Null

with or without:

[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=false
SteamDevAppId=480

Problem : "Find Sessions Advanced" and "Find Sessions" both return Success with 0 result if session was created with "Create Advanced Session".
Workaround : if I use a basic "Create Session" node (not Advanced), then I get 1 result, from both Find Sessions nodes.

But considering the final project, I would really like to use Extra Settings to filter results, so I wish I could make it work with "Create Advanced Session".

Any idea what I could be missing ?

Hi all!
Anyone thinks that would be possible to extend this plugin to include Steam Inventory by coding/utilizing the Steamworks API in C++ and exposing methods in Blueprint?
Somebody already done it?

Thanks in advance

Yes it would be possible.

But there are already plugins available for steam inventory, which is why its not in this one.

What are you Create Advanced Session settings? It does the same thing on the back end as the default node except there is more room for you to mess up by mistake since it has more options.

Hi Mordentral !
Here is a screenshot of the Create Sessions part, in the Event Graph of my GameInstance, where I put the Create/find/Join Sessions stuff.

I have tried with and without Extra Settings (the features I need) and I played with nearly all the properties, in vain ^_^

Also added a screenshot of the Find Sessions, as reference.

Well it should use a lan beacon even with ShouldAdvertise off as it does it for that or if it is flagged as a lan match so no use turning that option off of default.
Also Private connections don't mean anything for the NULL subsystem so might as well leave that 0.


Other than that you should likely stick to the default settings for the booleans on NULL, they are what is turned on by default with the std node.

While most of them actually do just about nothing in NULL there really isn't a reason to change them,



Other than that I don't know what to tell you, it should be working (and does for me).

[Entilzar]

OMG, it works now, thanks !

The "Should Advertise" flag must be On for LAN games. Otherwise, the Session is created but cannot be found with Find Sessions.
I had no idea this flag could have an impact on Lan games.

Thanks again !

Hi Mordentral. Enyoing your library, works out pretty nicely.

Currently I try to mimic the steam friends list in game, showing the status of the friends.
In case the friend is playing a game, the game name shall be displayed.
I correctly receive that the friend is playing a game, but I can't get the app name.

void UAdvancedSteamFriendsLibrary::GetSteamFriendGamePlayed(const FBPUniqueNetId UniqueNetId, EBlueprintResultSwitch &Result, FString & GameName, int32 & AppID)
{
...
            int Len = SteamAppList()->GetAppName(GameInfo.m_gameID.AppID(), NameBuffer, 512);

            if (Len != -1) // Invalid
            {
                GameName = FString(UTF8_TO_TCHAR(NameBuffer));
            }
...
}

Len is -1, tried for multiple games. I tried to look it up, maybe something is deprecated. However I'm not able to find anything about ISteamAppList interface neither something that replaces its functionality.
The AppId is correct, it matches the game that is played.
Any idea what could be going on?

Thanks

That is actually using the wrong function, its for locally installed games and is a restricted API. I think I must have left some testing from another function in that node at some point. I'll delete that call entirely, you should be doing "Playing Other Game" (like most games do), that or manually checking against the WebAPI gamelist with the app ID I guess.

Hey Mordentral.

I have your plugin AdvancedSessions and AdvancedSteamSessions.
I'm trying to compile my game however I'm not able to because the 2 plugins are failing to build.

Can you help me.

Here is a pastebin. https://pastebin.com/eU3F7fwv

Download the latest version, you don't have the 4.20 release that fixed that.
