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

Falconeyi · January 29, 2020, 8:41am

Does anyone else have issues with the “get rendered actors” node? It seems to NOT run when you are not viewing any blueprints. It runs when nothing but the main UE4 screen is up.

Hahaha, lovely to hear from you !

Wow, your BP exceptions plugin is an amazing technical achievement!

Congratulations!

Victory to You!

Hey @, first of thank you ever so much for the plugin! is a true life saver, the external image and text reading has helped a ton on my project, I’ve recently attempted to get external audio working as well, however it seems to me that the “Play Sound From File” nodes are no longer compatible with the new audio engine or something? They are not playing anything no matter what I do.

Any of getting these looked at?

EDIT: Just read the previous page, looks like a fix exists! Yay! Sadly I’m not a programmer and have no clue how fix would be implemented.

frostic · February 29, 2020, 1:43am

I don’t see any ERROR these are warnings.
most warnings can be ignored. unless it is effecting your game i would just ignore them.
I also see these warnings but they have not caused an for me yet.

hope helps.

Miguel1900 · March 1, 2020, 4:47pm

Hi guys and @ ,

Wow, I’m still discovering “pack of useful nodes with their C++ inside” and it’s incredible! Only tested a few things, but for example the GPU ones it’s a thing I was dreaming with :eek: Thank you fi !

I have a question too. I have seen I can import a texture from the computer with the Victory nodes, but is it possible to also export a texture from the project to the computer? (Using nodes, of course). I have been trying with , but UE editor crashes when executing:

Thank you again!!

CrowdTheFactory · March 3, 2020, 4:56pm

I don’t know about the crashing, but I know that to get the Victory Save Pixels node to work, the file path has to include the desired file name as well as the extension. So instead of “C:\Users\Desktop” it should be something like “C:\Users\Desktop\ImageName.png”. Also, if you want to make sure the directory you’re pointing to is right, I like to use one of 's Paths nodes, like “Victory Paths Saved Dir” and then just append it with the file name and extension.

Miguel1900 · March 3, 2020, 5:34pm

Thank you @CrowdTheFactory !

I have discovered that it’s working but only with very small images. When it’s a “common” image of 1024 or more, it crashes, you too?

What I am trying to do is to generate a Render Target, generate a Texture from it (already ) and export it (or both) to the computer. Maybe for case is most useful to follow a different workflow?

Thank you very much

frostic · March 17, 2020, 1:30am

Jaytheway:

@frostic The was that SoundWave never got *RawPCMData *baked into it, which is apparently what it needs in packaged builds. Here’s fixed **GetSoundWaveFromWaveFile **function:



class USoundWave* **UMyBPFunctionLibrary**::GetSoundWaveFromWaveFile(const FString& filePath, bool& Success)
{
if (filePath == "") { Success = false; return nullptr; }

USoundWave* sw = NewObject<USoundWave>(USoundWave::StaticClass());
if (!sw) { Success = false; return nullptr; }

TArray < uint8 > rawFile;

FFileHelper::LoadFileToArray(rawFile, filePath.GetCharArray().GetData());
FWaveModInfo WaveInfo;

if (WaveInfo.ReadWaveInfo(rawFile.GetData(), rawFile.Num()))
{

// - catching not supported bit depth
if (*WaveInfo.pBitsPerSample != 16) { Success = false; return nullptr; }

sw->InvalidateCompressedData();

sw->RawData.Lock(LOCK_READ_WRITE);
void* LockedData = sw->RawData.Realloc(rawFile.Num());
FMemory::Memcpy(LockedData, rawFile.GetData(), rawFile.Num());
sw->RawData.Unlock();

int32 DurationDiv = *WaveInfo.pChannels * *WaveInfo.pBitsPerSample * *WaveInfo.pSamplesPerSec;
if (DurationDiv)
{
sw->Duration = *WaveInfo.pWaveDataSize * 8.0f / DurationDiv;
}
else
{
sw->Duration = 0.0f;
}
sw->SetSampleRate(*WaveInfo.pSamplesPerSec);
sw->NumChannels = *WaveInfo.pChannels;
sw->RawPCMDataSize = WaveInfo.SampleDataSize;
sw->SoundGroup = ESoundGroup::SOUNDGROUP_Default;

}
else {
Success = false;
return nullptr;
}

// - Baking PCM Data from file into SoundWave memory
const int32 NumSamples = sw->RawPCMDataSize / sizeof(Audio::DefaultUSoundWaveSampleType);

sw->RawPCMData = (uint8*)FMemory::Malloc(sw->RawPCMDataSize);
FMemory::Memcpy(sw->RawPCMData, WaveInfo.SampleDataStart, NumSamples * sizeof(Audio::DefaultUSoundWaveSampleType));

if (!sw) { Success = false; return nullptr; }

Success = true;
return sw;
}

Header:


UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "JP - Nodes", meta = (DisplayName = "Get Sound Wave from Wave file", Keywords = "Get Sound Wave from Wave file"))
static class USoundWave* GetSoundWaveFromWaveFile(const FString& filePath, bool& Success);

*“Success” *bool returns ***false ***if:

file path is invalid
failed to create SoundWave
input wave file has unsupported bit depth (other than 16)

here is a change i had to make today as DefaultUSoundwave

else {
    Success = false;
    return nullptr;
}

// - Baking PCM Data from file into SoundWave memory
const int32 NumSamples = sw-&gt;RawPCMDataSize / sizeof(Audio::FResamplerResults);

sw-&gt;RawPCMData = (uint8*)FMemory::Malloc(sw-&gt;RawPCMDataSize);
FMemory::Memcpy(sw-&gt;RawPCMData, WaveInfo.SampleDataStart, NumSamples * sizeof(Audio::FResamplerResults));

if (!sw) { Success = false; return nullptr; }

Success = true;
return sw;

}

It seems that DefaultUSoundWaveSampleType is no longer in 4.24.3 and returns a null reference and crashes. the above change fixes .

THEAETIK · March 23, 2020, 3:28am

When comparing Read Render Target Pixel with Get Pixel From T2D, is there a significant performance cost difference between the two?

*Read Render Target *comes with a warning that the operation is extremely inefficient and slow.

RigTag · March 25, 2020, 11:49pm

Hello,
am kind of confuse on the packaging part for mobile devices for UE4.24 ?

RigTag · March 27, 2020, 1:08am


**Research **

Thanks for sharing the additional info, helps me lock onto the faster :)

Texture2D and Texture2DDynamic both derive from UTexture, but that is their common base class, so you can't cast a Texture2DDynamic to Texture2D.

Because if you can do that, you can convert Texture2DDynamic -&gt; Texture2D via a UTexture initialization.

I've looked through the 4.15 Engine source code and Texture2DDynamic is used in only a few places, and there doesn't seem to be a conversion to UTexture2D.

The only use of Texture2DDynamic currently appears to be Download image -&gt; Set Brush From Texture 2D dynamic.

Or it can be used with a Texture Parameter in a material shader.


I've figured out how to get the platform data from Texture2DDynamic

You have to use UTexture base class which returns a pointer to a pointer:



```


/**
* Textures that use the derived data cache must override  function and
* provide a pointer to the linked list of platform data.
*/
virtual FTexturePlatformData** GetRunningPlatformData() { return NULL; }


```



For anyone trying  at home make sure to dereference the ptr ptr carefully before trying to even think about access the ptr itself!


```


FTexturePlatformData** PtrPtr = T2D->GetRunningPlatformData();
if(!PtrPtr) return false;
FTexturePlatformData* PlatformDataPtr = *PtrPtr; //Check before dereferencing! ♥ 

//Now check the ptr itself too
if(!PlatformDataPtr)
{
return false;
}

//use the platform data


```



However the is that the platform data for a Texture2DDynamic does not appear to be valid because I guess Texture2DDynamic does not use derived data cache.

**So that means we need to use the FTextureSource itself, I think, to get the byte data.**

But I do not see how to get the byte data from FTextureSource where I will know what the color ordering is to convert to FLinearColor and I am out of  to research .

Community Assistance Requested

Anyone want to continue and finish it?

We need a second version of GetPixel data that accepts FTexture2DDyanamic

Is there any plans on getting the Download Image Working with your plugin?
i was told that i can modified that { Download Image } blueprint node with c++ to have it take 2DTexture instead of waiting for the second GetPixel to accepts FTexture2DDyanamic but am not good with C++ :(.

we’ll probably be a piece of cake for you to share so that we can enjoy the plugin in the meantime.

Here’s a image of someone showing me that he got it working But not willing to share :

Thank you.

dave_sullivan · March 28, 2020, 10:55am

EDIT: Ok, I’m dumb. Extract the library into the project folder, not the UE4 source folder. Problem solved.

ORIGINAL:

First of , thank you for extremely useful plugin, it’s been very helpful and I’ve used it since about 4.12 or so.

Recently, I have run into an with compiling VictoryBP into a project using UE 4.24.3 and wonder if anyone might have any suggestions.

First of , I get two errors:


1>  #error "VictoryISM.generated.h already included, missing '#pragma once' in VictoryISM.h"

1>  In file included from C:/UE4_SOURCE/UnrealEngine/Engine/Plugins/Developer/VictoryBPLibrary/Source/VictoryBPLibrary/Public/VictoryISM.cpp:7:
1>C:\UE4_SOURCE\UnrealEngine\Engine\Plugins\Developer\VictoryBPLibrary\Source\VictoryBPLibrary\Public\VictoryISM.h(13,7): error : redefinition of 'AVictoryISM'

Noting it seems to be complaining that the file VictoryISM.h is doing a circular include for VictoryISM.generated.h, I try adding include guards as so (editing AVictoryISM.h):


#ifndef GUARD
#define GUARD
#include "VictoryISM.generated.h"
#endif

Building the project again generates a new error:


1>C:/UE4_SOURCE/UnrealEngine/Engine/Plugins/Developer/VictoryBPLibrary/Source/VictoryBPLibrary/Public/VictoryISM.h(1): error : No #include found for the .generated.h file - the .generated.h file should always be the last #include in a header

So it seems UE4 has some rules that make include guards difficult? But I am not very knowledgeable about C++ so if there is something I am missing, please let me know!

Maybe important information: It compiles fine when I target Development Client - x64 — problem is appearing when I target Development Server - Linux.
