(39) Rama's Extra Blueprint Nodes for You as a Plugin, No C++ Required!

[Anaklu]

Hi Rama,

As I mentioned before, I got the June 10th update working, but the one from the 11th appears to be the same file as the one from the 10th. The folders are exactly the same size, down to the byte. Also, do you know why the new uploads aren't showing on the main list? (I have to delve into the file history for them to show up: http://puu.sh/ilHXw/9ee6014696.png )

Anyway, thanks for the repeated updates and communication, we <3 you!

Dear Anaklu,

That's really odd!

Epic can you fix this somehow?

This explains why people are saying my 4.8 upload is updated for some and others say it is not updated!

Thanks!

Hi I can confirm I was seeing the same thing. I will try the new link.

Thanks

[Tekoppar]

Yeah Rama it's blueprint/content-only project with full rebuild on, I got the same error on a new project. But it only happens when I've got your plugin enabled. I even tried reinstalling 4.8 and tried a new project again, same thing.

Edit: Appears I'm not alone with that link error. https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...ing-in-48.html

[Ozzie]

Hey quick question, I'm installing the plugin step by step but it just doesn't work in the editor. It shows up on the plugin list, it's enabled, config line is added, editor restarted... I tried it on different computers, same effect, cannot find any errors etc.
I used an older version of VP couple builds ago and it worked fine. Thanks for any advice!

[Nsomnia]

The june 11th 7.91mb version shows up fine on the website, and loads/runs/etc. just fine in both C++ and BP based new and old projects for me.

As to the linking errors. I only got those when I had bad code as in errors, and to the response on that thread "I disabled the substance plugin" I have the 4.8 substance-ue4 plugin installed in all my projects :S

[Tekoppar]

I guess the wiki link was still broken when I downloaded it or something, tried it now with the mediafire link and it compiles fine.

Just tested downloading the 11th june 7.91mb version from the wiki and from the mediafire and the mediafire one appears to be newer then the wiki one, it's files are bigger and have newer dates then the wiki one.

Edit: Just tried it again with both links on new projects and now I suddenly can't get it to work again.

Edit2: Found out that if I verify my 4.8 version I can package new projects until I attempt to package my 4.7.6 project which somehow breaks it for all projects.

[Nsomnia]

I'm having no problems with the wiki link on fresh projects or old. Make sure you select engine version -> 4.8 on any old projects first, and try deleting ALL intermediate folders, or are you talkuing about just linking errors?

These are very strange errors indeed!

Please post on Answerhub about this!

It sounds like it could be related to the new unification of all Editor Settings across all projects (and apparently all versions?)

Welcome ot the forums Ozzie!

"Hey quick question, I'm installing the plugin step by step but it just doesn't work in the editor"

Can you explain more? What's not working? BP nodes not showing up or the vertex snap editor not working?

Please make sure you are using 4.8 and download from my Media Fire link due to issues with wiki download system for some people / browser cache stuff

You can ensure you have the latest version by using this download link!

Reminder of my new node that I just released amidst all the support posts

Dear Community,

I've made a new BP node for you!

HasSubstring compliments the functionality of FindSubstring.

FinsSubstring requires more inputs and returns an index within the source string.

My node, HasSubstring, requires only 1 input and only returns whether or not the supplied substring is in the source string.

I use the C++ version of HasSubstring all the time so I felt you would all enjoy having it in BP as well!

~~~

Example Usage ~ Search Feature

If you wanted to make a string-based search feature, that iterated over the contents of a list of UMG Texts, you can take the user's supplied search string and use my HasSubstring node to find all the UMG Text widgets that contain the user's supplied search string.

Packaging Plugins for upgraded project in 4.8, Workaround

Dear Community,

Here's the solution to the packaging with plugins errors that Tekoppar posted:

MainFrameActions: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): UnrealBuildTool: [11/12] Link UE4-VictoryBPLibrary.lib
MainFrameActions: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): UnrealBuildTool: [12/12] Link Project542352352.exe
MainFrameActions: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): UnrealBuildTool: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.8\Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4\Development\Launch\PCLaunch.rc.res'

~~~

Epic Response on Answerhub

Ok, there is definitely an issue in 4.8. We're looking in to a fix. In the meantime, you can fix the issue by the following:

Create a new code-based project (the template chosen doesn't matter, I chose FPS)

After the newly created project has been opened in the editor, use explorer to browse to the location of that project on your computer

Search for PCLaunch.rc.res in that project (it will be found in the Intermediate directory)

Copy that file to /Engine/Intermediate/Build/Win64/Development/Launch/ and/or /Engine/Intermediate/Build/Win32/Development/Launch/ (you may have to make the Launch directory)

Open the broken project

Uncheck Rebuild in the Package Settings

Package should now work

Not ideal, but should get you unbroken and still be able to have the enabled plugins.
