has anyone made a tutorial on how to setup photon with the unreal engine?
Hi themcpanda.
Have you had a look at the Photon unreal integration demo that is linked at Fusion Introduction | Photon Engine?
when i tried to run the demo i had gotten an error and when it asked if i would like to rebuild it i picked yes the bar did not move nor change after a few hours for me
What’s the error message and when exactly do you get it?
“when it asked”
What’s “it” in this context?
Unreal Engine? When does it ask that?
right after trying to open the demo it says its missing the UE4Editor-PhotonDemoParticle.dll and askes if i want to rebuild it
That demo was built using Unreal 4.1 It is really out of date.
I am emailing them about it right now
EDIT: Email Sent
any update?
Hi again.
That is normal behavior.
I have just tried to reproduce your issues by downloading a fresh copy of the demo package, unzipping it and doubleclicking the .uproject file to start it. It was generating project files for a few seconds, then asking me to rebuild UE4Editor-PhotonDemoParticle.dll. Rebuilding with the latest engine version (4.8) then took about 3 minutes and was successful.
Sorry, that is just an error in the documentation. That demo supports UE 4.5 and above and has been verified to be working with UE 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8.
That means you will need to open up the source in VS and build manually. This is usually due to it being compiled on an old engine version.
i found out what it was and it was a basic mistake on my side well more of a program missing from my side i got it fixed
Hi again.
@themcpanda:
Thanks for the good news. I am glad you got it working
@MrFata:
Thank you. I am so used to always building from within Visual Studio that I have totally forgotten there is a way to build without opening the VS project.
