Hey,
Good news, I was able to figure out with the help of another set of eyes, how to get your PPV settings to work properly in your Snow Project. I have steps in order for you to do so as well! A couple of quick notes before I list the steps, and reasons as to why this issue had occurred. If you had a previous version of this project built in a different version of the engine and converted it over, the dependencies as well as settings might not have been translated correctly and were either ignored and/or overwritten. That being said there were a lot of redirects in your DefaultEngine.ini file that could have also caused the issue to occur. Follow these steps and go back into your project to see the visual changes.
- Go into you Unreal Projects Folder
- Find your Snow Project and open the Config file folder
- Find your “DefaultEngine.ini” file
- Right click the file and click on properties
- Be sure the check box “Read Only” is unchecked so you can save the changes you are about to make to the file.
- Make a copy of the “DefaultEngine.ini” file and send it to your desktop just as a safe guard
- Now, open up the file and delete everything except for your “[URL] GameName = Snow”
- See images for reference
- Also notice all of the r. files as well as the redirect files. These are what is causing your issue.
- Be sure to save the file after making your deletions/edits
- Close the folders and open up your project.
- The default level will now be the template and your UI layout will be reset, but don’t panic just open up the level you want to test. I suggest the snow level with the SnowCat matinee.
- Find the PPV and edit the scene color to see the effects!
Cheers!
