Thank you all for the requests, this is exactly the info I was looking for, I will be doing this soon!

Thank you for explaining your solution for people migrating to UE5!

# ========================== Victory Plugin Updated To EA 2

Hi there!

I’ve updated to EA 2 and added the requested nodes (except ServerTravel and the level streaming, will work on that soon!)

Create Process (woohoo!)

Hello! I’ve been using your tool a lot in UE4 and it’s been fantastic! Me and my team are considering taking the jump to UE5, our early tests have been really successful and cut down our render times a lot. We’re making an animated series and have been trying to optimise our editor pipeline as much as possible.

I’ve used the “Victory Create Proc”, “Has Substring” and “Get Names of All Loaded Levels” nodes a few times for various pipeline tools in UE4. Would it be possible for you to get these brought over into UE5? That would be incredible! “Has Substring” is probably the lowest priority one overall but would still be handy to have.

Thank you so much from myself and my team. Your work has been an incredible help for us so far!

@. First your plugin is great, it solved a few things for me.  
But why not migrate everything to UE5? Why select only a few of them?  
To migrate my project to UE5 I would personnally need :

- the sort node that was under utilities-\>Array
- Save game object get all save slot file names
- the file IO nodes

Thx for your work

Hi @ ,  
First of all, thanks for putting the effort, this is awesome.  
Second, I am having this issue when trying to package my game after installing your plugin in UE5.

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): ERROR: Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named ‘VictoryBPLibrary’ in UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. This type must derive from the ‘ModuleRules’ type defined by Unreal Build Tool.

Can someone help, please?

Hi , I finally have time and opportunity to join all the other people in thanking you very much for this awesome plugin. Great work!

For my application it would be very useful to have things like Get Actor Relative Location/Rotation and string functionality (Load String Array from File, String Combine Strings, etc.) working in UE5.

Thanks!

Dear Lovely Victory Plugin Users,

Sorry about my delay in replying to everyone

I see all of your requested nodes and will add them as soon as I can.

The answer as to why I don’t import everything is simply that I have to handle the includes differently in UE5 and so it is easier for me to add everything as needed rather than go through a very long compiling process.

I am also personally curious which nodes everyone has been using, and I am enjoying your feedback very much

This new version allows you to create a 🌹 Very Special 🌹 URamaVictoryPluginCreateProcessPipe to capture your Process output, if the Process is outputting to STDOUT (console window) or STDERR

1. Construct the RamaVictoryPluginCreateProcessPipe object

4. When done, please call ClosePipe on the object, and null the reference to the object (I call ClosePipe inside of object BeginDestroy, but might as well ⚡ take initiative ⚡ yourself and close the actual OS pipe yourself immediately, rather than waiting for Garbage Collection)

❤ 's UE5 Color Picker For You ❤

Dear UE Community,

I’ve integrated my implementation of the UE Editor Color Picker into the UE5 version of Victory Plugin!

⚡ 🌟 🌹This Color Picker, The UE Color Picker Itself, Will Indeed Work In Packaged Games 🌹 🌟 ⚡

Many Thanks To 💖 Nick Darnell 💖, for it was he who exposed the UE Color Picker Slate class ([Runtime/AppFramework](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/API/Runtime/AppFramework/Widgets/Colors/SColorPicker/)) so we could use it in 🌹packaged games! 🌹

My role was to create the UMG Class wrapper of the Slate Code so that the Color Picker can be accessed from the 🌹 UMG Designer 🌹, as you can see in the video below!
