Luoshuang's GPULightmass

[Monu29]

Heya,

Really appreciate your contribution to the gamedev community.

I have looked at the code on GitHub and am planning to port this to Vulkan API so it is not tied to any vendor specific hardware.
DM me if you wanna help out and get me up to speed; otherwise it will be a bit tedious for me.

Any chance you could update it to support UE 4.23 first ?

Anybody here knows how to make it work with 4.23 preview? Thanks!

Meanwhile, has anyone figured out how to get GPULightmass working with 4.23 ?

Thanks, but I already tried this tool,
it works fine with 4.22.3 but doesn't work with 4.23 preview, even when editing the .bat file (crash when launching ue4)

So, are you basically saying "I figured it out using this source release!" ? Just re-posting the link to github repo isn't going to help.

Also, the script is not setup to work with 4.23 until someone ports the GPU Lightmass itself to 4.23. I'll gladly update the script to 4.23 as soon as the core lightmass is updated. You guys are stuck with 4.22 until then.

Hello, when I try to install the script this error occurs, keep in mind I installed the ue4 4.21 on another drive ? any help please?

You are probably using the latest version of the script, which is configured by default to 4.22, while your installation is 4.21. For the script to work with it, you need to manually edit (notepad will do)( and change the UnrealVersion = 4.22 to 4.21

you have instillation for 4.22.3 isn't it clear? it did a thing for me, if not I will not post it.

I am still using source/binaries and hybrid install as described in the earlier posts in this thread, for 4.22.3. I have not messed with github source for that reason.

Can you share the binaries generated for 4.23 in your build?

The source is. But I mean the files generated from the build, so that we can just overwrite the ones in the launcher version. If you build from the source, isn't that what gets generated?
I'm asking because building from the source takes a long time (to clone it, build it), so if you already have those files built.....

Not sure what you mean.

I replace .h and .cpp file in my UE4 source tree with GPULightmass ones and then build the engine. Then I download GPULightmass binaries for 4.22.3 and copy it over to respective folders in my freshly build engine source tree, replacing existing ones. The only .DLL I don't copy if the UnrealED one. Then I edit my base lightmass ini file and it's good to go.

It's the only way I can get GPULightmass working when building from source. If I only use cpp and h files, I don't get any lightmaps building at all.
