Hi, after searching this forum for a while I couldn’t find an answer.
What’s the proper way to get the Session Invite Event working?
I’ve tried sending invites through the steam overlay and your send invite node. Nothing gets the event to call.
My GameInstance has your GameInstance as parent, and Invite Accepted works just fine.
I can’t figure out why Invite Received won’t call.

Invited received isn’t hooked up anywhere in the base engine, they added the event in code, but never used it. I implemented it for when it is in use but no luck so far.
I think I had that noted on the node text and example didn’t I?
Maybe I should it as deprecated until functional.
Also session accepted I recently renamed the ID to PersonInvited not PersonInviting, as they are passing in the Invitee not the Inviter.
Anyone tested Leaderboard writing?
I’m trying to write in Steam Leaderboards but i can’t. I created the variable in Steam Panel and call it with the Plugin method but nothing happens
Hey ! Firstly thank you so much for this life saver plugin. I have been using it for 2 weeks with steam subsystem and I have two quick question:
1- I want players to invite and join sessions for Co-Op mode and creating squad (for join to dedicated server together). As I know there is a Game instance for handle it. But I’m using Generic Shooter’s Game Instance now. How Can I handle invite/join without your game instance?
2- I want to use dedicated servers. There is a boolen option for it at input of create advanced session node. But how can I use it to create dedicated server session under steam subsystem? Can anyone help me about this topic?

Think you are thinking of the other plugin, i don’t do anything for leaderboards currently.

No you have to use my game instance if you want to receive “OnInviteAccepted”, but if you set the parent of the Generic Shooters Game Instance to the AdvancedFreindsGameInstance it will work.
True dedicated servers require a hand built version of the engine, the bool is there so that people doing that can keep the same node structure, you can’t use the dedicated bool without building the engine manually.
Merged the 4.17 beta branch into master for the repository and updated the 4.17 binary package to 4.17 release.
thank you I got it

So can you point me in the direction of something I can follow to allow my players create a Dedicated Server and then join using AdvancedSessions?
Hi,
I’m trying to use the “get steam friend avatar” to show the avatar of each person on a widget, the issue is that while I can see it, the clients does not.
When the player joins I get the “UniqueNetID” and I set that in a replicated variable, then the clients try to run the “get steam friend avatar” but only I can see the icons
Which is the right workflow to show each person avatar?

Unique net ids don’t have any replicated UProperty in them, there is no need as you can get the unique net id of players directly from the player list/player state. They are how they are identified over the network anyway
so each client already has a copy of everyone elses UniqueNetID.
Its a very minor overhead to make UniqueNetIDs replicate, but I didn’t feel it needed to be done due to that.
Edit There is a “GetPlayerUniqueNetID” node, one for when given a local player controller and one for when given a player state from the game instance.

Yup, I was trying to use the player controller but those don’t exist on the client side, I started using player state instead and it worked! thank you for the reply
Is 4.16.3 plugin will be?

How do I setup VoiceChat?
Start / Stop networked voice will work for PTT.
Just add the config file commands in the OP post to your project.
For open mic you just leave the config boolean to false for push to talk.

The current 4.16 download is 4.16.3
Hi… in version 4.17 the plugin ( Advanced Steam Session) crashes my project at startup and closes and I’m forced to not be able to change version … how can I fix it?

As in when you load the UProject file? Did you download the source or the binaries, and did you download the new files before switching to 4.17?
Unless it is an actual crash an not a “is not compiled for this engine version” warning, then you are using incompatible files is all and need to match the two up.
Also how does it force you to “not change versions”?
The uproject file times are right, I’ve downloaded the version as I’ve ever done from Launcher, I’ve been using this plugin for 2 years now and we are ready to release our game and that’s why we’re updating it to a newer version … Plugin is divided into 2, the normal part and the steam part … removing the steam part all works to perfection and does not crash … Sorry for my english

Does it crash while “loading”, or when trying to play your game?
If it is during your game there may be a log event thrown.
I need to know what it is doing as I do not have any issue.
Edit I’m sure that if you can describe the problem to me and provide the Log after it crashed that we can get it solved
Yeah that should all work fine even without the plugin.
The plugin is specifically for push to talk since they didn’t expose “toggleVoice” to blueprints, so you can directly use the StartNetworkedVoice and StopNetworkedVoice nodes.

How do I change the volume of non-PTT sound?
I don’t have AdvancedFriendsInterface, I just have AdvancedFriends Plugin.
I can’t reparent my GameInst with AdvancedFriendsInst because they are not compatible apparently.
What is advanced friends plugin?
Are you trying to combine this plugin with another one?
