What if you would only update your plugin once for a preview and only upload the editor version or only the source? You would add new nodes only to the stable one, and never touch the preview version again (unless Epic changes some C++ functions in a new preview that would make your plugin not compile). So you would only have to upload one single version once when Preview 1 is released.
Have you ever seen anyone who wants to do serious development on a Preview release? I think I made very clear that I only need your plugin to work with the Preview to be able to test the preview with a copy of my project and report new bugs to Epic so that they are fixed once I switch my real project to the new stable version. And I think this is how everyone handles it, since this is what previews should be used for
Epic said 4.11 will be released in March, so its still quite a while, way more than a few days
I can get Victory running fine on my mac - with a little adjustment. Rama probably wonāt like this solution butā¦
There are a couple of functions where thereās an error about a class not being allowed to return a āFalseā bool - I think itās some node which finds sockets on a character or something. My solution - because I never use these nodes - is to just comment out the class from the .h and the .cpp files.
This also applies to compiling for 4.11 For my purposes I just commented out the functions which didnāt work - itās a bit of a nasty hack, but it works perfectly for me as I donāt use these character based nodes.
Get your hands a bit dirty is my suggestion! I keep tinkering hoping Iāll suddenly understand C++ (It hasnāt happened yet)
What would probably help Rama is a copy of the error messages from X-code. I think itās only about 3 classes which all return this error about bools (for Mac 4.10).
Rama⦠I just download the latest version and all I see is the binaries directory. But, Iāve got an older version that has a source directory. Am I missing something? Thanks.
Far be it from me to look a gift plugin in the mouth, and however Rama wants to do what he does is fine by me because itās a marvelous gift to get.
But ifāIFāthe issue is the work spent updating/maintaining the plugin on two separate branches, I would THINK (again, not the expert here) that doing a single preview-compatible release just once when the preview first drops, and then just ignoring it, without worrying about keeping it updated with the rest of the main Victory Branch (until it gets replaced with the most recent Victory Plugin once the release goes official), would satisfy the general desire to test projects for bugs in preview releases without adding a particularly large amount of workload on your end, Rama.
Again, just a thought, I would not presume to instruct Rama how to provide us with a gift like the Victory Library if thatās not how he wants to do it.
Sry but Iām about to go nuts. I canāt get this to work. Is there a new installation guide for 4.10 version of UE? In my windows tab I donāt have a āPluginsā?
Make a folder in your project folder called āPluginsā
Copy the VictoryPlugin folder into this folder (not the zip file, but the contents of it)
Right click on your project file (With the 'blue āUā icon) and select āGenerate Visual Studio Filesā
Open the solution file (ends with a .sln) - VS will open (make sure youāve installed this first)
Make sure at the top youāve got āDevelopment Editorā and āWin64ā selected.
In the right hand pane, beneath āGamesā (not āEngineā), right click on your project name and choose āBuildā
When itās built you can close VS and start your project from the launcher or wherever.
Is there a C++ version of this? The file unzips to a Windows binary - I am on a Mac. Iāve been trying to write some simple code to attach a camera to a pawn, take pictures from the camera and save them to disk. I canāt find anything in forums or Github that shows me how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I believe you downloaded my PackagedBinaries instead of the actual UE4 Editor plugin which includes the source
Correct link for source code:

Yes that is exactly what would help me, someone can PM me the XCode error list, I can update the 4.11 version to fix the xcode errors.
I fixed emscripten errors for HTML builds recently.

As per popular request I have upgraded my plugin to 4.11 preview!
[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Happy Valentines Day!
(post is a little late cause it took a long time to do the upgrade)
**Download Link:**
**Victory Plugin 4.11 For Editor (7.23MB)**
https://wiki.unrealengine.com/File:VictoryPlugin.zip
Git Update!
I have updated my Victory Plugin Github to 4.11
I would like to take this opportunity to thank community member Stormwind for inspiring the setup of this Git version!
**4.10 vs 4.11**
To resolve the issue of having to support two versions, I have concluded that **my last supported plugin version for 4.10 is February 6th.**
All future plugin releases will be for 4.11, preview or full release.
4.11 Known Issues
Please note that 4.11 has not been released yet and my support of 4.11 is in beta just like 4.11 is.
A few things have changed in 4.11 preview:
Packaging Victory Plugin requires ability to compile C++.
If you can compile C++ via Visual Studio 2015, then hereās how you package the plugin:
a. In visual studio,** rebuild** all for your chosen build, such as Development (Game) x64
b. Load editor and package game for your chosen build, such as Development x64
Again please note you have to first compile for your correct final build in Visual Studio itself.
Reason: The plugin intermediate folder is not optional and is not regenerated within the Editor during packaging. I cant include it in the wiki file links since it is 135mb of stuff. Intermediate folder is supposed to be optional, and was until 4.9/4.10. I presume it is a bug that currently UE4 does not regenerate the plugin intermediate folder if it is missing, and will have to consult with Epic once 4.11 is released to see if this has been addressed, as it would affect every C++ plugin that was put on the marketplace.
My life will be easier once plugins are officially on the marketplace and the way in which BP-only users can package C++ plugins has been fully ironed out.
Because 4.11 is in Beta/preview, I can only presume this fix is on the way.
So please note thereās nothing I can do presently to resolve this matter of requiring C++ to package for 4.11, and you should not expect to be able to package Victory Plugin for 4.11 unless you have Visual Studio 2015 or are willing to give C++ compiling a try
If you are, you can download Visual Studio 2015 here:
Please note you want the Community version.
**Technical**
Please note that Classes folder was removed, I am using only Public/Private now which compiles faster.
Internal code structure of the plugin has been updated to 4.11 standards.
Summary:
Have fun playing with my Victory Plugin in 4.11 !

Unfortunately, I canāt see the new version in the Wiki. I only see the old version from 6th February, and it does not work in 4.11, gives me errors if I try to compile it.
A ālittleā request: Iām not sure if itās within the engine already or not, but I would be happy to see a delay node with a float output of how much time is remaining on the delay. I hope itās ok that I ask for that ^^
Seeing as I needed the functionality and your ISM PR has been sitting untouched for almost a year now, I went ahead and converted it into a editor plugin which can be found here: https://github.com/Web-eWorks/ISMPlugin. Figured I should let you know, as most of the important code is yours. Currently itās a little buggy, but I plan to fix it up to a production-ready state.
Iām trying to get the closest actor of my variable type and set it to it, using the Closest Actor in Radius node but I canāt get it to work.
I feel like this should be something I already know but I canāt figure it out. Why is the actor class Iām feeding into it not compatible with itself? Iām making sure Iāve selected the correct type by plugging it in instead of choosing from the list, but it wonāt connect up. Iāve tried a bunch of nodes in between them as well but they donāt connect either.
So, Iām now dealing with the whole āmost recent version of Victory Plugin isnāt showing in the Wiki download pageā issue.
Anybody got a mirror of the 4.11 preview release? Or know of a way to force that page to update and display the most recent file?
EDIT: Well, the file Iāve GOT says that itās 7.23 MB (not the 7.17 listed for the 02/06 file) and also is listing āmodifiedā dates for the Binaries as being made on 02/15 (at 4AM) and only includes the Win64 development build.
So one would think that this is actually the right FILE, even though itās still not working with 4.11 Preview 5
