Dear maintainers,
Does the latest version of plugin support multiple/separate bodies of water? Last time I used it a year and a half ago it didn’t.
Was also curious if it supports underwater air pockets.
Hey shredder, did you try following tutorial? https://.com/UE4-OceanProject/OceanProject/wiki/How-to-add-to-your-project
It might be better than just migrating the Content folder.
Hey ,
I tried to update an older project (4.13 compatibility) with the 4.17 build Raindance provided (thanks Raindance!) and followed the ‘How to add…’ tutorial when the update failed, but it still fails. It tries to load but then throws a warning that UE4Editor-.dll needs to be Rebuilt, and upon saying yes, the compile fails and says to try rebuilding manually.
Has anyone got to work? Currently using UE4 4.17.1
I feel like I’m missing something. Due to our development environment, I’d reeeeaaaally prefer not to have to put together a custom build of UE4 4.17.1…
Any help would be fantastic!
@FlashFreak It only has to be rebuilt if you’re trying to use the plugin with a version of the engine the plugin is not built for. Are you sure you’re using Raindance’s 4.17 version and not trying to rebuild your 4.13 version? What steps are you taking to update your project? And if you try to rebuild manually, what errors are you getting?
Wow, is incredible! Thank you for fantastic creation! I have a question: when you are underwater looking up, the sky becomes very dark almost black, as if you were miles under the . Is there a setting to adjust to be more clear, as in shallow water? Thanks so much!
ohhh wow. is what i need to try… tomorrow
Hi guys,
First of all, I’d like to thank the developers, maintainers and the community of great plugin and all the support it has, it’s an amazing development and I totally appreciate what you do.
I’m writing to ask if anyone can give me a clue or feedback about a crash I’m coming across in the game I’m working. I found why it happens, but currently I’ve no clue about how to solve it.
The crash happens in particular hardware and configuration: XBox One and DirectX 12 validation layer activated (adding the -dxdebug command argument when executing the game), I’m using Unreal Engine 4.16.3
Doing some detailed binary search iterations, I came across the cause of the bug. It’s in the “M_Ocean_Ultra” material, particularly in the “Interpolate between base color and scene color based on the distance between pixel and the pixel behind it” comment group: the Scene Color node will always cause a crash if is used (see “Crash” screenshot). I’ve tried replacing the node by a fixed constant value, and the game works with no problem (see “Working fine” screenshot).
The error I get is the following:
…]
D3D12 ERROR: [0x276D3266] ID3D12GraphicsCommandList(Graphics):: DrawIndexedInstanced: The format of render target 0 (R11G11B10_FLOAT) does not match the format specified by the pipeline state (R16G16B16A16_FLOAT). (RTV resource ptr=0x000000031010BA00 resource name=“SceneColorDeferred”)
D3D12 ERROR: [0x5E908FDA] ID3D12GraphicsCommandList(Graphics)::Close: A failure was encountered during command list recording.
LogD3D12RHI:Error: CommandList->Close() failed
…]
It seems that Unreal Engine’s pipeline gives the material a render target as input, with the scene color content (the name of the render target is “SceneColorDeferred”), but then the validation layer complains to a crash level when it finds out that the format of the given render target is R16G16B16A16_FLOAT, since it was expecting a render target with format R11G11B10_FLOAT.
I’ve tried with DirectX11 and it works fine (under the same configuration: XBox One and DirectX validation layer command argument activated), so it’s a DX12 / Unreal Engine thing.
Also and just in case, the settings I’ve are as follow:
---------Material---------
Material Domain: Surface
Blend Mode: Translucent
Decal Blend Mode: Translucent
Shading Model: Default Lit
Two sided: true
Use Material Attributes: false
Subsurface profile: None
---------Translucency---------
Screen Space Reflections: true
Lighting Mode: Surface ForwardShading
Directional Lightinf Intensity: 1.0
Apply Fogging: true
Compute Fog Per Pixel: false
Separate Translucency: true
Mobile Separate Translucency: false
Resposive AA: true
Allow Custom Depth Writes: false
Disable Depth Test: false
Any help / clue / thought will be appreciated, many thanks!
Cheers,
@anonymous_user_2b39dfae, sorry for the delay, I’ve been sidetracked with other projects in the office and I just got back to .
Problem solved.
I’m loathe to admit it was sheer laziness on my part. If I’d taken the 1.5 seconds it took to read the log file, I would have realized that the was not with the plug-in, but my install of Visual Studio 2015 Community, which was hopelessly out of date. Once I applied the Update 3 patch (required for compiling for Unreal) and waited the 2+ hours while it pulled down the 3GB of patch, it worked first try.
Big shout out to @Raindance for piecing it together for dopes like me. 
ff.
Hi! As i understand water plane prevent make any shooting underwater. So how to make avaliable shoots underwater???
And other problem about submarine controller is how to dive? Cause simply add velocity to Z axis will not work, I should do it by increasing “mesh Density” or other way??
Oh looks i find how to do)) Point Density Overide right?? so i have 6 test point on my sub and Mesh Density 600… i put virtual weight on each points, so they should be more then 600 to dive))))
Hey guys 
recently added me as a maintainer of the project, so I did some cleaning and (finally) merged the PR to UE4.17!
You can check it here: https://.com/UE4-/
I’d love if some of you had some time to test and see if everything is okay 
If you find errors, please, open an in (it’s hard to keep up with so many pages in topic) and I’ll try to get to it.
If you do have improvements you’re willing to submit back to the repository, please, open a pull request and I’ll try to get it merged as soon as possible
Cheers!
@ I really appreciate you stepping forward to help maintain the project! I’ll switch to new version to test it and take advantage of the clean-up, getting back to original source releases should help the community here a lot.
@anonymous_user_2b39dfae Thank you! If you run into any issues, please report and I’ll try to fix them 
Do that happen in all maps included in the latest version?
I have been using asset for a long time and it is excellent. Thanks so much to all involved. My map is an island and I need a way to dynamically change the wave direction based on where the player is so waves always move towards the shore. I understand how to change direction in the editor and I have tried manipulating those same values within BP but it does not seem to work in game. Debugger shows the values are changing, it just does not change anything in-game. Can someone please tell me the best way to accomplish ? Thanks so much!
Im curious, how are the waves being created in project? is it using a procedural mesh? or animated mesh?
Can I use for commercial release? Want acknowledgement in the credits?
Can someone please make or link to a recent video of the asset and it’s features? all I can find on the net is quite old
