copy the plugin to your project directory, and, all you really need is to copy the folder into your content folder.

I am downloading it now and I will test it on backup of my project from 4.12 using the plugin. Thanks for updating it! I will update post after testing.

One note it would be nice to reduced version of the download with just what is needed for the water, with out of the time of day and content included. I did manually for 4.12 on my own project to reduce the size but the imho cleaned up. 942 MB DL includes a lot of content that is not required for the water to work.

Fired up the OceanPlugin in 4.14 only warnings using the latest from is a constraint warning, and a few dynamic shadow errors hurting the frame rate.

I am going to update my 1080’s drivers to the latest before installing it on my own projects but it feels safe enough to move forward. Good job !

Forgot to update: I converted my 4.12.5 project to 4.14 to test the plugin, working as expected.

I’m glad everything is working on your side too!
Hopefully gets merged ASAP

The only trouble I have had in 4.14 related to the plugin is that Epic changed something in the camera code that clips the reflection of the making it look black in PIE when you tilt the camera up or down but goes away as soon as you run the same exact thing in Full Screen mode. I have to investigate which switch or adjustment is needed to make go away. At first I thought it was something wrong with the plug in but it has something to do with a Camera code change. For now I just switch to Full screen. did not happen in 4.12.5 with exact same scene.

Does anyone know where in the BP_Sky or its parent TimeManager.h have the hard cutoff for when the sun disappears and the night sky comes out. It doesn’t work well for high latitudes, it should be based off of the suns altitude and not the time but I cannot seem to find where is set up.

Maybe it’s a skysphere thing?

Anyone know about part?

It looks fine here o.O

Anyone have the 4.14 download?
I am having trouble with the pull

[anonymous_user_c83ece3e]

hi all,do you know, if they are going to release 4.14 version?

I dont know what it is, but with out any changes I do not see it in 4.12.5, so I am pretty sure it is something I did in a “setting” that is causing it. It does not happen in the Demo levels. It only happens when the window is smaller, and not full screen on my own level.

I will show you with screen shots in a future update.

Update: Well I made a screen shot to show the trouble I am having with 4.14 happens during Playing in Editor Only. Traversing the level in editing mode has no visual issues.

**
UPDATE 2: FIXED the trouble** After investigating the Planer Reflection component of the system I found a setting named Extra FOV the number was set to 0, I changed it 65 same as my camera setup as a test and it was fixed! Looks better then ever. I know it increases the rendering time overhead so I am going to try to reduce / tune value. Maybe value is a new for 4.14. I have not double checked to see if option is in 4.12.5. I am happy I found it though!

A lot missing for the new plugin?

[AP_Studios]

is there a working fork avail?
i was using the 4.14 fork (by i think) and i started getting 40+ errors in a compile from the plugin itelf.

how to run the shader???

@;157299

A quick update on my shader, I haven’t been able to work on it as much as I’d like, but finally have a new video update. I have managed to switch over to a translucent material, due to the wave heights overlapping I was encountering an with translucent depth sorting causing issues, but have that under control now. I have also moved all of the material parameters into a blueprint so everything can be controlled in one place. Still need to add in many more features, but translucency with proper depth shading was not as simple as I expected.

Could someone tell me how to run the shader??

Did you get it from here? OceanProject.git

Would you mind trying again and making sure your UE4 version is 4.14, and report the errors back here, together with your uproject file contents?

Well, the whole project is not required to use the plugin, and I advise you to check link: https://.com/UE4-OceanProject/OceanProject/wiki/How-to-add-to-your-project

Still… That made me do further inspections of the base project, since I didn’t touch it in my PR.

So, I made a new commit with these changes:

Fixed errors and warnings

• Changed M_Ocean_SSR Reflection Cubemap param from Color to Linear Color
• Changed ThirdPersonCharacter GrabComponentAtLocation node with GrabComponentAtLocationWithRotation. Left the rotation data as default (0,0,0).
• Deleted broken BP_SkyOLD (Replaced with BP_Skydome). Removed together auxiliary WB_SkyOLD_HUD debug widget.
• Deleted Old versions of the ManOfWar meshes (they were messing up the build tool and weren’t referenced anywhere)
• Updated BP_Rivertool, replacing the deprecated functions
• Replaced View.ViewSizeAndSceneTexelSize.xy with an external node in M_PP_RadialBlur

You can find it here: OceanProject

@, I haven’t submitted a PR for one, because the old one is still pending a merge. If you want to merge these, just tell me!
(I’ll submit a new PR after the previous one is accepted )
