Advanced Sessions Plugin

[mordentral]

Something I don't get. I want to MUTE a player (W4lly63), instead what happens is:

• They get muted.
• The name printed on screen does not match their username, mine is actually displayed (_SCAR)
• They get unmuted.
• I can hear them in game.

This is the code I'm using:



Printed on screen I see `MUTED: _SCAR -now muted: true`.

I'm seeing this in the logs:

[2019.06.09-11.44.02:968][893]LogOnlineVoice: OSS: Muting remote talker (W4lly63 [0x2A57C100])
[2019.06.09-11.44.02:968][893]LogBlueprintUserMessages: [None] MUTED: _SCAR -now muted: true
[2019.06.09-11.44.03:037][904]LogOnlineVoice: OSS: Unmuting remote talker (W4lly63 [0x2A578AA0])

What am I doing wrong?

Can someone point me in the right direction, I've been at it for months now...

Thank you,

The steam subsystems implementation of GetPlayerName is implemented wrong on Epics end, both the local user version AND the uniquenetId version call SteamFriendsPtr->GetPersonaName() which just gets the local clients name. You want to use my AdvancedSteamFriendsLibrary version which directly calls the correct steam friends function.

Thank you for your reply. The name doesn't really matter though, this is just me trying to debug the issue. Good to know that at least that explains it.

So, the important matter is: why does the player get muted/unmuted in a fraction of a second?
Any timing issues with PlayerStates you might be aware of?

That sounds more like a logic error on your part that it auto unmutes, your original description made it sound like it was working but was showing the wrong name.

If it isn't a logic error then I would have no idea and it would be an engine bug with the new changes for voice for the steam subsystem.

Thank you for your reply. I do not have any unmute logic, as I'm trying to pinpoint what the issue may be... Any ideas of what I could try?

Honestly? no..... I would have to be able to reproduce it and debug it, and even then it wouldn't be on the node side of things.

Hello mordentral thank you for the awesome pluggins I'm super new to multiplayer I have set up your pluggin with the help of this tutorial series https://youtu.be/XlqHG1egnn0?t=190 In the tutorial we set up a basic game instance, but then I wanted to give a try to using VOIP so I change that game instance parent to be the Advanced friends game instance when I package the game it packages succesfully but when I try to run it this is what I get https://i.gyazo.com/c328ec556aca0c30...1e88c4e0fd.png

FIXED: I totally forgot about creating an empty C++ class once I did it was working

mordentral is there any way of having all the steam regions unblocked, as of now the systems I use where always tied to the steam download region so if I have a friend on the UK and I'm playing with a Spanish download region there's no way for us to find us on the server browser

You are using the default 480 App ID which is region locked, you either need to get your own app ID, or move to his download region temporarily while testing.

Hey. Thanks for the great plugin. I have one question. I'm trying to connect one lobby to another. In my game, players first gather in the same lobby, and then connect to the game lobby. But the bottom line is that the session result works only for the controller that caused it.

Is there implemented way to modify the ExtraSettings of the Session that is already exist on server?

You'll want to use online beacons for that as it will keep them together during server migration. You can totally do it manually by sending the info to each player, but online beacons were intended for this exact thing.
