Is there a way to identify runtime cell content/location from _Generated_ guids

Development World Creation

Hello,

We have a large world using World Partition streaming with multiple runtime grids, and when tracing/auditing we are running into difficulty tracking down content based on the GUIDs shown in traces and memory reports e.g “/Game/Maps/L_MapName/_Generated_/3GDI4TITQC7S59EJHZ3ACSA32”.

I also noticed when using the STAT levels command in a package that these types (“3GDI4TITQC7S59EJHZ3ACSA32”) of generated strings appear briefly before seeming to swap to the readable cell names of the format “L_MapName_MainGrid_L0_X9_Y-8”. The latter is much more clear to us in terms of identifying content and locations.

We often see the same GUIDs across multiple builds.

  • Am I correct in assuming these GUIDs and the grid cell readable names are representing the same object? If so,
  • Are these GUIDs deterministic?
  • Where/what generates them?
  • and, most importantly, is there a way for us to translate the GUID to its human readable name as seen in STAT levels so we can find those locations in the editor?

Kind regards,

Hi,

The mapping between the generated names and the cell name can be found in the streaming generation log (Saved\Logs\WorldPartition). If you are working from a build you can use the " wp.editor.GenerateStreamingDescriptor <filename>" console command in the editor to dump the per cell information. The mapping should be constant as long as the grid parameters do not change.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for the reply. Both the streaming generation log and streaming descriptors are exactly the type of information I was looking for.

Thanks again.

Kind regards,
