@I’m trying to compile your plugin but it says there is an error:

Error C2664 'bool IImageWrapper::GetRaw(const ERGBFormat,int32,TArray<uint8,FDefaultAllocator> &)': cannot convert argument 3 from 'const TArray<uint8,FDefaultAllocator> *' to 'TArray<uint8,FDefaultAllocator64> &'

code where the error shows is here:

const TArray<uint8>* UncompressedBGRA = NULL;
if (ImageWrapper->GetRaw(ERGBFormat::BGRA, 8, UncompressedBGRA))

the function is Victory_LoadTextureFromFile

I don’t know if you fixed it or still need a fix, but just in case, you should download the engine-appropriate zip (i.e. the 4.24 version for 4.24, the 4.25 version for 4.25) from the first post in thread, as the the [FONT=Courier New]IImageWrapper::GetRaw signature changed in 4.25. So the error comes from the .cpp being made for the wrong signature.

yea fixed it. I was trying to use it with the chaos demo project and it didn’t like it at . had to disable the build chaos line to get it to compile. chaos sets some variable the plugin didnt like. already fixed in an update i guess since now i can add compile chaos.
once i took out the build chaos i added to enable chaos it started working. it was an oddity

Hi @ ,

Thank you very much for the update!

In addition, I have a question, please: do you know any way to ‘read’ strings from a file over the internet (from example: mywebsite.com is available for purchase - Sedo.com)? I have tried some combinations with your ‘Load string from file’ node (which is incredible for local use!), and with the default ‘Download image’ node, with no luck. I wouldn’t care about reading it directly from the web, or downloading that file to disk, and read from it after being already locally saved. I would be very glad if you would have any idea.

Thank you very much and best regards!

is a great idea! I will work on when I have !

@N1LSS0N1

Hey there!
amazing plugin, use it in my project because it have so many use cases! I have a question for you,
Can you expose the “CrouchedHalfHeight” in a function that can be set? because currently it cant be set through blueprint and i think it might be a good addition? Or a function that automatically offsets the capsule based on the half height instead, so you can change the capsule components half height and it allow it to offset too.
For now i created my own function but i just thought it might be a good addition to your plugin!
Anyhow, have a great day/night!

is also a great node idea, I wll look into !

4.26 Update Is Here!

Dear Victory Plugin Users,

Here is 4.26 !!!
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0q10k9…gin26.zip/file

Enjooooooy!

Thank you so much

[NorthWeapon]

btw I got 4.26 working on a 4.25 version of the victory plugin just by changing one line:

VictoryPC.cpp:79 to

auto Request = Http->CreateRequest();

Was faster than downloading it from the link

Hi,
I have recently created a plugin to import the audio files with mp3, ogg, wav, flac in runtime.

Runtime Audio Importer

[stucki]

hi, first let me thank you very much for very useful plugin !!!
i mainly use it for storing load/savegame thumbs-textures.
i have one question about it:
the textures stored seem very dark compared to my screen output of the scene.
is there any way to get the exact screen output ?
i tried messing with brightness in the 2d capture texture, but it wont make any difference …
kind regards

Hi,

Thanks for the great plugin @, It works like a charm and helped me a lot with my game. But I am currently trying to port my game to and I think it is causing the app to crash (I am on 4.26), I was wondering does plugin support android? Or am I just doing something wrong and that’s the reason for the crash?
Here the error I am getting before the crash happens.

Thanks

In case you are still looking for an answer, these settings inside the texture render target should make the image look the same as in the engine

I figured it out in case someone is having the same:
Open the .uplugin and add to the target platform wite list, then build it for and it works like a charm.
Thanks again for the great plugin

For the sake of documenting what was a really long struggle getting seeking / start from / any deeper audio issues with an vorbis OGG -> soundwave importer, i found that UE4 relies on both the RawData and RawPCMData part of a soundwave to perform tasks deeper than just playing audio, the solution i found was to use the SerializeWaveFile function on pcm data to make a normal .wav type rawdata and then set the rawdata that way. I’m not certain if works in packaged games. Code for setting the RawData:

 //SERIALIZE PCM AND FILL IN RAW DATA
TArray < uint8 > rawSerialized;
SerializeWaveFile(rawSerialized, sw->RawPCMData, info.SampleDataSize, info.NumChannels, info.SampleRate);
sw->RawData.Lock(LOCK_READ_WRITE);
void* LockedData = sw->RawData.Realloc(rawSerialized.Num());
FMemory::Memcpy(LockedData, rawSerialized.GetData(), info.SampleDataSize);
sw->RawData.Unlock();

**Full Frankenstein OGG import code: **

USoundWave* **XXXXXXXXX**::GetSoundWaveFromOGGFile(const FString& filePath, bool& Success){
if (filePath == "") { Success = false; return nullptr; }
char* filePathChar = TCHAR_TO_ANSI(*filePath);
USoundWave* sw = NewObject<USoundWave>(USoundWave::StaticClass());
if (!sw) { Success = false; return nullptr; }
TArray < uint8 > rawFile1;
FFileHelper::LoadFileToArray(rawFile1, filePath.GetCharArray().GetData());
FByteBulkData* bulkData = &sw->CompressedFormatData.GetFormat(TEXT("OGG"));
bulkData->Lock(LOCK_READ_WRITE);
FMemory::Memcpy(bulkData->Realloc(rawFile1.Num()), rawFile1.GetData(), rawFile1.Num());
bulkData->Unlock();
FSoundQualityInfo info;
FVorbisAudioInfo vorbis_obj;
if (!vorbis_obj.ReadCompressedInfo(rawFile1.GetData(), rawFile1.Num(), &info))
{
return nullptr;
}
else
{
sw->SoundGroup = ESoundGroup::SOUNDGROUP_Default;
sw->NumChannels = info.NumChannels;
sw->Duration = info.Duration;
//sw->TotalSamples = info.SampleDataSize;
sw->RawPCMDataSize = info.SampleDataSize;
sw->SetSampleRate(info.SampleRate);
// - Decompress and bake PCM Data from file into SoundWave
sw->RawPCMData = (uint8*)FMemory::Malloc(sw->RawPCMDataSize);
vorbis_obj.ExpandFile(sw->RawPCMData, &info);
sw->bDecompressedFromOgg = true;
//SERIALIZE PCM AND FILL IN RAW DATA
TArray < uint8 > rawSerialized;
SerializeWaveFile(rawSerialized, sw->RawPCMData, info.SampleDataSize, info.NumChannels, info.SampleRate);
sw->RawData.Lock(LOCK_READ_WRITE);
void* LockedData = sw->RawData.Realloc(rawSerialized.Num());
FMemory::Memcpy(LockedData, rawSerialized.GetData(), info.SampleDataSize);
sw->RawData.Unlock();
}

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

Success = true;
return sw;
}

Hey !!
I think I remember you had a plugin that allowed for much better performance when dealing with thousands of destructible meshes? Thanks man and great to hear from you as always,

thx very much. Yes i am still searching … will try tomorrow !!

[Capsu1]

, could you possibly look into these node suggestions?

-capsule trace with orientation (i hear exists in C++ but the blueprint capsule trace mysteriously lacks it?)
-trace by distance and direction nodes: so for example instead of setting end points, you just set a starting point, unit vector direction, and float distance
-exposed engine quaternion and spherical interpolation functions
-vector += and -= like you have for floats currently
-clamp vector and clamp rotator to closest of number given directions, for example returning only 8 directions or 4 directions

thank you for your hard work, and for such a wonderfully useful plugin.

Hi, -

I’m having difficulty using your plugin - Could you help me out? How should I use “Load string from file”? I get the txt file and plug it into the file path -> but the “result” has no value-> therefore I have nothing to “Parse into Array”. is a simple setup, but it does not recognize my selected file.

[rz1974gmail]

Hi ,

I encountered a crash in your VictoryBPFunctionLibrary.cpp.

in
Victory_LoadTexture2D_FromFile

if I pass in an EXR file, it will crash in line

FMemory::Memcpy(TextureData, UncompressedBGRA.GetData(), UncompressedBGRA.Num());

for TextureData is made of 8 bit but EXR data is usually more than 16 bit.

I modified

ImageWrapper->GetRaw(ERGBFormat::RGBA, 8, UncompressedBGRA) to

ImageWrapper->GetRaw(ERGBFormat::RGBA, bitDepth, UncompressedBGRA)
the program passed.

Another question is, I fed the final UTexture2D into HDRIBackdrop it became white, for it needs TextureCube?
Is it possible for Victory_LoadTexture2D_FromFile to get UTextureCube instead?

Thanks.

Richard

Hi,
did you ever get sorted out?
I also tried to remove the plugin, and even though I’m pretty sure that it’s not used anymore, it still crashes upon next restart of the project.

Kind regards,

/hauke

BTW: does anybody have an idea how to check where a specific plugin is used aside from “look through blueprints that you can open”?

Yes, it was a pain but it crashes cause there are some functions form plugin that still in your blueprint. When crashes we find what class cause the crash and i look in class for nodes.
I dont know better alternative for that. Try to remember what nodes you used and look for them in find mode with binoculars icon
