Have a significant portion of the friends functionality integrated now. Probably going to finish it totally or at least 75% before throwing another update on here.

Uploaded a new version today, feature complete as far as I can tell at the moment regarding the average use case (Steam), ran into quite a few OnlineSubsystemInterface features that are ignored for the SteamInterface (matchmaking and friends addition/deletion included, as well as some things like OnInvitedToSession events).

Back to playing with it instead of making it now I guess.

Includes lots of new friends functions
A few new session functions, optimized the old ones where possible
Finalized blueprint function signatures (hopefully)
A blueprint example with use cases and labeled functions for everything that the plugin adds.

i fixed most of it by renaming adding User in all the delegates in the game instance(i guess i’m using a newer version that you?, i’m using the release branch from github so maybe they renamed the delegated). But the SessionInviteAcceptedDelegate in the constructor has errors (the arguments isn’t right).

This plugin compiles and runs fine off the the 4.7.6 version on the unreal launcher download, I also went and checked out the interface on github for 4.7 under release and it still uses the definitions that I am using. Are you sure that you aren’t on an older release than 4.7? They re-did the handles for the sessions delegates in 4.7 and the code hasn’t had a committed change on there for 2 months, something to notice is that the sessions and friends interfaces uses different delegate declarations, they appear to be halfway through re-factoring how they handle them so it would make sense if you are using 4.6 by mistake and throwing errors.

i’m using 4.8

Nyhaalm · May 31, 2015, 7:52pm

oh, sorry, my mistake. i’m using the 4.8 Branch, not the release branch,

Parvan · May 31, 2015, 7:58pm

Wow man, this is amazing! I don’t check the forums for a few weeks and look what happens… Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I won’t be updating it to 4.8 until it release or just before it, from the state of 4.7 it is going to undergo a lot of changes in the new version. The commit that changed delegates in 4.8 mentions something about making it compatible for Fortnite so might be more changes inc.

The new delegate function parameters are:


virtual void OnSessionUserInviteAccepted(const bool bWasSuccess, const int32 ControllerId, TSharedPtr< FUniqueNetId > UserId, const FOnlineSessionSearchResult & InviteResult)

I will try to make it work for 4.8.
Would it be possible for you to put the plugin source on Github?, then maybe i can put my changes on a 4.8 branch.

mordentral · June 1, 2015, 12:19pm

I’ll probably do it today over lunch, its about a 10 minute change and I went back and looked at the last commit and it isn’t actually very likely that they are changing it any more on 4.8.

Edit 4.8 version is up, BP output on the OnSessionInviteAccepted BP Event changed as the delegate passes the inviting UniqueNetId now in 4.8 and that seemed useful to have.

Thank you so much for being so fast at updating this.

Nobody · June 7, 2015, 9:49am

Hey, thanks again for this awesome plugin. I managed to get a Server Broswer, hosting, Joining, quick play, etc. to my game but there are still some questions I got where I don’t know how to manage this.

Currently everyone joins the Lobby of some Hosted Session, The Host decides to Start the game and everyone starts playing. But as soon as the game starts I want the Session not to be visible for anyone searching for a new game. How is this possible?
As far as I have seen I can’t change Session Properties while the Session is running.

Whoops! I had that one being worked on and totally forgot about it.

The function below handles that, I’ll work it in tomorrow and update the plugin. I had planned to have it in already but I guess it got buried in the friends interface work.


virtual bool UpdateSession(FName SessionName, FOnlineSessionSettings& UpdatedSessionSettings, bool bShouldRefreshOnlineData = true) = 0;

The UpdateSession function is added into both of the new downloads.
