[Community Project] WIP Weather & Ocean Water Shader

[TK-Master]

I tried and found this plugin not working well with UE4.8 integrated with Nvidia GameWorks (guess due to VXGI) the ocean surface looks like missing shader. But this one works pretty well with UE4.8 not integrate with GameWork. Any ideas to deal with this?

Another one, I feel if the shore gets wet when the wave chopping to the shore, it's kind of wet map, it's definitely a big thumb up

I have not used VGXI yet so.. I have no idea xD I will check it out when I have time.
Can you open one of the materials and see if there are any compilation errors? I guess materials have specific requirements to run with VGXI.
Also in the BP_Ocean settings try using one of the shaders without SSR, see if that works.

About the wet map, that has more to do with the landscape material setup so it's not something that I will focus on any time soon (first we need some proper terrain at least ) but eventually, sure xD

1. Am I free to use it in my own project and maybe distribute it in my game (if it becomes a cool game)?
2. When I try to download the files, they all are .uasset-files, but I can't import them. How do you do this?

Yes absolutely, you can use it in your project any way you like (or else what's the point?)
Project is under the MIT license (basically you are not allowed to sell the project as is but everything else is good).
We only ask that you give credit and link to the project, but that's not really mandatory it's more like a "thanks"

You can't import .uasset files but you can copy the content files directly to your project's content folder or you can use the migrate option.

I have also put up a guide in the wiki recently

Hey TK Master thanks for the 4.8 Update to this project.

Toying around with it now and enjoying it allot

[Finntastic]

Thanks I will try it as soon as I can.

Are the files on GithHub compatible with version 4.7?

Hi,

When the shader is loaded, I got a error:


Please take a look and see what you can help me

Currently github has only the 4.7 version yes, but soon I will add a 4.8 branch there.

From what I read that's a tessellation bug with flex

Can you try GalaxyMan2015's branch?

I saw a pirateship in a few video's, are these included in the files?
I want to create a pirateship multiplayer battle game, so maybe I can help a bit or make a game with the created models?

I love the details of this plugin and how big this is.

I'm using Galaxy's branch. He's almost find the solution for that. I'll contact with him. Thanks a bunch.

I have a small question/issue, So i got it all onto my project and all works well, I highlighted the ocean, pp, and volume at the same time to move it to fit my leve, and when i click play the pp that makes it look like its under water is fine until u get to the very top of the water and then it goes to underwater right before the underwater part, i have moved it by itself and it snaps even with grid off to a foot below the water level or right above the water level.

Any ideas how I can fix this

[Pirate]

Great work all around
I know this is probably an issue just with 4.8 but has anyone any look cooking this plugin with their project? I have even tried the newest 4.8.1 in the 4.8 source branch and no luck. The packaging keeps failing.

Hey Im getting a crash when I try to respawn. We do have our own respawn system built into our main character and I know that in the ocean build there is a respawn system I dont know if that could be part of the issue.


Here is the crash information that pops up:

Access violation - code c0000005 (first/second chance not available)

it fails for me also

Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'AssetEditorMessages.generated.h': No such file or directory E:\Unreal\Epic Games\4.8\Engine\Source\Editor\UnrealEdMessages\Classes\AssetEditorMessages.h 5 1 OceanProject

Not sure why the engine doesn't have that editor class generated. But that seems to be my hiccup.

[TK-Master]

I'm using Galaxy's branch. He's almost find the solution for that. I'll contact with him. Thanks a bunch.

Okay please let me know if you find a solution, I'm also interested.

So, how would you go about the jitter - this is unusable with this problem.

As I said previously if you disconnect the steering you don't have that problem so it's probably the torgue

Well it is unusable, no argument there none of this is a complete solution. The ships are only meant as an example.

Disconnecting the torgue doesn't change anything for me, as soon as the ship gets some momentum, physics are going insane.
I would not use the per-poly collision ship because of the unstable physics. Although the simple collision boat has problems of it's own as well.

I have a small question/issue, So i got it all onto my project and all works well, I highlighted the ocean, pp, and volume at the same time to move it to fit my leve, and when i click play the pp that makes it look like its under water is fine until u get to the very top of the water and then it goes to underwater right before the underwater part, i have moved it by itself and it snaps even with grid off to a foot below the water level or right above the water level.

Any ideas how I can fix this

To avoid the snapping, you can try moving the volume manually by increasing the Z coordinate value.

Great work all around

Not entirely sure why this happens yet but my suspicion is that it's because of the infinite system I'm working on it.

Sorry I think this is also because of the infinite system.. I missed a few null checks for the pawn and so on for now try to open BP_Ocean and disable ticking on the infinite system component.
There should have been an update days ago but I keep finding myself busy with other stuff, sorry

[HughieDM]

TK-Master no problem! great work by the way!

So Im in the BP and where is disable ticking on the infinite system?

[TK-Master]

Uncheck the Auto Activate option in the component settings.
