Hey , first of , I want to GREATLY thank you, for what you so far, you saved me a lot of, since I’m not that great with c++, so yeah, thanks for that! 😃

But I come here to report a little bug, when I use your node called “Screen Shots rename move most recent”, it’s rename file extension to bmp, but screenshots taken in png, so after I load screenshot and make it texture2d, it’l be none. It can easily be fixed using your another node “Victory Load Texture 2D from file”, and choosing there png, even if file name extension is bmp.  
So yeah, not a big deal since I found a fix, but it’l be neat if it worked perfectly good. 🙂

Best regards.

You’re probably using my Create node? That is known to crash now, and I will be uploading a fix soon

In the meantime here is the correct node to be using now, which Epic released in 4.9:

**[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Welcome to the forums normal\_ST!**

Great catch!

I’ve updated my plugin to rename files with .png extension

```auto

	//Generate new Full File Path!
	FString NewFullFilePath = NewAbsoluteFolderPath + "/" + NewName + **".png"** ;
	 
	//Move File!
	return RenameFile(NewFullFilePath, ScreenShotsDir + "/" + OriginalFileName);
}

```

, thanks for the fix it worked! But I want to ask about one more thing, can you add overwrite functionality to node? Because if the file with “New name” name exist, it will do nothing.  
Or “Remove File” node will be great actually 😃

Thanks for everything again, best regards.

PS: Oh and I actually wanted to try and add functionality by myself, but I can’t understand how to properly open and compile your source codes.

Update: Oh and seems like your sort function or something else, take not the newly made screenshot, but the oldest available.

How to Package My Plugin Without Affecting BP-Only Project

> [@John Alcatraz;385695](#):
>
> I really don’t want to convert my project to c++ just for being able to package in Shipping 64bit 🙂

You can follow these steps:

1. You can make a separate project that is c++,
2. then package that project for shipping 64bit,
3. then move the entire plugin folder, **without Intermediate** , over to your BP only project.

Intermediate folder is huge and not needed for distribution.

I am not getting paid to do anything of what I do with my Victory BP library so my to cover every possible case is limited by my need to make money to eat and live and such.

Here is my donations page if you’d like to help remedy matter:

**Victory BP Library Donations**

>
> gym-free, no gym, bodyweight, body weight alternative method of exercise. All natural, raw food, vegan, organic diet for holistic health and well being. Lightning fitness is an exercise system to help you achieve health, stretching, body building,...

I’ve now described how you or anyone can package for any platform and then include my plugin packaged binaries with their main, non-C++ project.

**[COLOR=“#0000FF”]Draw Thick Circle With Axis Control**[/COLOR]

Fun node for you!

**With node you can draw circles!**

And you can control their thickness, as well as how many points make up the circle!

You can also have **axis control**!

So you can draw circles horizontally, vertically, at angles, any way you like, with convenient BP node inputs!

See pics!

Dynamic Level Generation: Create Multiple Translated/Rotated Instances of a Level!

Dear Community,

The code in node was first presented by Epic staff, Marc Audy, as code used in Fortnite.

I’ve fully implemented the code as well as making it user-friendly.

In particular I’ve presented a solution for ensuring you can spawn multiple instances of the same UE4 level, by giving you an “ **Instance Number** ” that you should increment each you spawn an instance of a level.

allows me to enable you to easily create as many uniquely translated and rotated instances of a level as you want!

is ideal for **Dynamic Level Generation**!

```auto

**Can Include Landscapes and Other Fancy Level Features!**

In my demo I included a landscape in my level "tile."

```

**Level Scripting / Level Blueprint**

You can also include level scripting that will run uniquely per level isntance!

```auto

**Victory Load Level Instance**

![LoadLevelInst_BPNode.jpg|1280x960](upload://eYkmDTa1zneQsdBlRoVY7LDd06i.jpeg)

```

**C++ Code For You**

Here’s my implemenation of the code Marc Audy originally presented to the Community, exactly as it is in my Victory BP Library:

```auto

bool UVictoryBPFunctionLibrary::VictoryLoadLevelInstance(
	UObject* WorldContextObject, 
	FString MapFolderOffOfContent, 
	FString LevelName, 
	int32 InstanceNumber,

{
    if(!WorldContextObject) return false;
	 
	UWorld* const World = GEngine->GetWorldFromContextObject(WorldContextObject);
	if(!World) return false;
	// ~~~~~~~~~~~
 
	//Full Name
	FString FullName = "/Game/" + MapFolderOffOfContent + "/" + LevelName;
	  
	FName LevelFName = FName(*FullName);
    FString PackageFileName = FullName;   
	
    ULevelStreamingKismet* StreamingLevel = NewObject<ULevelStreamingKismet>((UObject*)GetTransientPackage(), ULevelStreamingKismet::StaticClass());
 
	if(!StreamingLevel)
	{
		return false;
	}
	
	//Long Package Name
	FString LongLevelPackageName = FPackageName::FilenameToLongPackageName(PackageFileName);

	// Here is where a unique name is chosen for the new level asset
	// Ensure unique names to gain ability to have multiple instances of same level!
	// <3**
	
	//Create Unique Name based on BP-supplied instance value
	FString UniqueLevelPackageName = LongLevelPackageName;
	UniqueLevelPackageName += "_VictoryInstance_" + FString::FromInt(InstanceNumber);
     
    //Set!
    StreamingLevel->SetWorldAssetByPackageName(FName(*UniqueLevelPackageName));
	**// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **
	 
    if (World->IsPlayInEditor())
    {
        FWorldContext WorldContext = GEngine->GetWorldContextFromWorldChecked(World);
        StreamingLevel->RenameForPIE(WorldContext.PIEInstance);
    }
 
    StreamingLevel->LevelColor = FColor::MakeRandomColor();
    StreamingLevel->bShouldBeLoaded = true;
    StreamingLevel->bShouldBeVisible = true;
    StreamingLevel->bShouldBlockOnLoad = false;
    StreamingLevel->bInitiallyLoaded = true;
    StreamingLevel->bInitiallyVisible = true;
 
	//Transform
    StreamingLevel->LevelTransform = FTransform(Rotation,Location);
 
    StreamingLevel->PackageNameToLoad = LevelFName;
          
    if (!FPackageName::DoesPackageExist(StreamingLevel->PackageNameToLoad.ToString(), NULL, &PackageFileName))
    {

The new node looks very interesting!

So if you have an instance of a level, will it maintain the same characteristics of that level at times, or only the characteristics that existed when you spawned the instance?

So in my case, if my main map is the primary map, and I spawn map instances to handle world wrap, will the instances update automatically or will I have to respawn them to get updated info into them?

Pretty sure only characteristics that existed at the of spawning get updated, the actors and the level BP become unique after being instanced!

had advantages if you want to create variations of each level instance, like rotating them in different ways or activating level BP “variants” that run on a simple integer/enum

That is what I figured, but the instances mirroring the state of the parent would have been a nice bonus! 🙂 Being able to blanket copy the existing level and respawning it to get the most current game state should work well enough.

Seems like it can work, why are there not as many vn’s (vertex normals) as verticies?

I am confused as to whether will really be useful without UV mapping.

I got really far making my own version of 3ds within UE4, until I hit UV mapping 🙂

I could dynamically place and move verticies, create edges, and triangles, and then turn into a colliding procedurally generated mesh.

The complexity of doing the UV mapping gave me quite the pause though 🙂

Stuff just doesnt look good without UV mapping

What is your solution for , you mention projecting material? What do you mean?

🙂

Currently In-Engine: Min and of Int/Float Array!

**4 New Nodes**

\*\* of Float Array

of Int Array

Min of Float Array

Min of Int Array\*\*

Returns the /min value as well as the index in the array of that value!

**Please note that I submitted the C++ code for these nodes to Epic and they were accepted into the Engine!**

**You can access these nodes right now!**

See pic!

Hey, you have these 2 nodes in your plugin:

![f165139ec9.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/5/a54080fe67f7ed93f934f66978fb739b0c79ee79.png)  
 ![e5451cc416.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/7/c/7cdb59775934342070fc58b4ed5a93569620b187.png)

So I can load a Texture from a file and get a PixelArray and I can also get a specific pixel value from a PixelArray, thats awesome. But what I would like to see is to also get the PixelArray from an existing Texture2D or an existing RenderTarget2D. Would that be possible to add as a node? I searched for a way to do through blueprint and I only found a lot of people asking for how to do it but no answer except “use c++” 🙂

Cheers!

Hey,

Did god send you down from the heavens to assist me in making a game that will transcend and space to deliver the most entertainments we can currently conceive of?

If yes, thanks!

is a rather massive project for me to work on at the moment give my current work load, I will keep it in mind though! I think its for you to do more C++ yourself and then maybe I could help out along the way 🙂

Keep in mind I do offer tutoring sessions in UE4 C++!

Yes, and I am pretty sure you came to help many others have fun too!
