Advanced Sessions Plugin

[Blue man]

Are you using a blueprint only project out of curiosity? It shouldn't matter realistically but I am curious as someone else was packaging one of those without a compiler installed and the editor was failing to compile the plugin. I think that pure blueprint plugins might still be not working without a compiler associated with the engine.

I use my own plugin in a fun project and it packages and works player to player without issue.

After your new update I can package my project without any problem with blueprint only project.

Can I use this plugin for commercial project?

Can I use this plugin for commercial project?

Yes, pretty sure two others I know of already are.

Ok thanks,I wasn't sure.

I can now package my project but when I try to run my game I get this error :
"Advanced session plugin is not installed correctly ,module could not be found" (or something like that)

Run it with the -log command and post the log. I have it packaged into multiple test projects atm.

Honestly I don't know, I don't think this is an issue with the plugin itself as I haven't run into it across multiple projects. The guy above in this page had to convert to a c++ project in order to get his to work.

It may be that I am supposed to include the intermediate folder as well with the distribution for blueprint only projects but packaging that and supporting multiple builds would bloat the download to gigs in size so I don't intend to do it.

I will try some stuff and if I fix it somehow I will let you know.

This is quite amazing, the default session blueprints are indeed lacking to say the least. I assume you'll be updating it for 4.9 once it's released? If so, I'll try and patiently wait to try it out.

Yeah I will be.

@mordentral:

Nice Work, but if i package the Game and want to Run it, there comes an Error Message.
"Advanced Sessions not found"..."consider disabling the Plugin" (and sth. more)

Is there anyway to fix it?

Same problem here

[xHellYeah]

Ive tried to manually paste the DLL in the Packaged Game, changed all the Settings, nonManifest files etc. etc. etc. (trust me i literally did anything i could...)
but nothing works. So if youre back i appreciate a tip how to fix it @mordentral:

[mordentral]

Found out how to reproduce the problem.

If the plugin isn't in a sub folder in the Plugins folder (IE: Plugins/AdvancedSessions) then the engine doesn't correctly package it. The last release I forgot to move all of the files into a folder prior to zipping them. I have never tried to use it without a sub folder so I couldn't re-produce it originally but finally it dawned on me that it was the only thing I hadn't checked on yet.

I updated the download for new users and for everyone else just make a new "AdvancedSessions" folder and move the files into it and everything should work fine. I'll add a reminder in the installation steps to check that they are in a sub folder already.
