HI, suggestion at least for newbies to Source Control. Under source control and perforce there isn’t much info on what ‘files’ to add to server ( local host here), given: “To submit something, first right-click on the change list and then select **Submit**. Then enter a change list description and click”. Doing this all for the first time literally, that’s very vague. Many of us are creating landscapes , some small games etal, so something using those at least as an EX, would be very helpful, bc atm I ve no idea where to even start , for sure. Being unsure isn’t healthy in this game. ty ---

Is there any way to access the old C++ API reference documentation? It did provide example code and more extensive information, really valuable to get to know some methods. The new version of the reference seems quite poor and incomplete compared, probably until it’s finished, but in the meantime it would be good to have access to the previous version. Thank you ---

Documentation pages need more than just what the name of the input, output, and pin type on blueprint nodes are. They need to actually say how the nodes function! Example, I want to use ProjectPointToNavigation, it doesn’t tell me what the extent input is for or how to use the node. Documentation needs to be better. ---

A fix to the HDR documentation page: [High Dynamic Range Display Output | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/RenderingAndGraphics/HDRDisplayOutput/index.html) Following this page’s recommendation to use the “Enable HDR Display Output” will never work in a standard project. The docs fail to mention that the source checks whether the config variable “r.AllowHDR” is set to 1 or not, otherwise it ignores the request. Using the console command bypasses this check but also bypasses the automatic setting of fullscreen modes so is less useful. The “r.AllowHDR” config variable should **really** be mentioned on this page, you’ll only find out about it by reading the source code otherwise. ---

in the doc of “DemoNetDriver” please include essential information like demo recordhz, because the default value of recordihz is 8 that gives a choppy result which cannot be used. so it might be worth including one more line that shows how to increase the recordingHZ to 30 or 60. i.e “demo.recordhz 60” to get fluid recording from demorec #demorec #recording ---

Broken documentation: In the page “Building for iOS on Windows”, the section “Workaround for Unprotected Private Key” needs to be redone because the SubInACL command line tool is no longer available from Microsoft (and does not appear to work with current versions of Windows 10). I’ll put one alternative method below, using the same structure as in the doc (hopefully that makes this a little easier to fix, thanks for all the documentation!): * * * You might see an error that reads as follows: ERROR: Unable to determine home directory for remote user. SSH output:…WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!..0660 If you do not see this error, you can proceed with the next step. If you do see this error, use the following steps to resolve it: 1. Navigate to your RemoteToolChainPrivate.key 2. Right-click the file and select “Properties” 3. Click the “Security” tab 4. Click “Edit…” 5. Remove all group or user names 6. Click “Add…” 7. Click “Object Types…” and make sure all boxes are checked, then hit OK 8. In the text box, type “Users”, then hit Enter. 9. Make sure permissions for Users is set to Read and Read & Execute This will change the file’s primary group so that it is not the same as your username, which is what confuses SSH when it checks group permissions. The process should then work as normal. (Note that SubInACL could previously be used for this purpose, but is no longer available from Microsoft. Cygwin is a possible alternative which has been discussed in AnswerHub) * * * ---

I was attempting to post a response to a specific UE4 Document, and was led to this site. But I believe my response is valid for most of the Unreal documentation. This documentation provides no information beyond that already available in the header file. This documentation provides no examples of how it would be used in a real-world situation. This documentation provides no links to tutorials or learning documents that would help someone understand how to use this, even though sanctioned examples exist. This documentation includes no ‘see also’ entries. There seems to be no alternate Unreal documentation on this subject. Note that if your think my suggested level of documentation is unreasonable, I would point out that it is typical for entries in the Microsoft SDK documentation. While this documentation may be valuable as reference for someone already familiar with this topic, I feel that this documentation is useless for anyone coming to this page attempting to learn UE4. As someone who has been using the Unreal Engine daily for almost ten years, I find this to be an accurate assessment of the current Unreal documentation. ---

On the FPS tutorial page: [2 - Implementing your Character | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/ProgrammingWithCPP/CPPTutorials/FirstPersonShooter/2/index.html) …three is mention of an FPSCamera class, which doesn’t exist. My guess is that it used to exist but the tutorial was updated at some point and all references to it were not removed. Secondly, the part where it asks you to move the default position of the camera so that it is near to the character’s eye level doesn’t work. It asks you to put the following code in the FPSCharacter constructor: ```auto FPSCameraComponent->SetRelativeLocation(FVector(0.0f, 0.0f, 50.0f + BaseEyeHeight)); ``` …this did not work for me. I moved it to the BeginPlay() function and it worked as it should, so it seems that the constructor was called too early before some other dependencies were initialised maybe. ---
