Enjoy!

Hiā¦ sorry for the offtopic, but I am curious. When seeing your theme color which tries its best to make my eyes bleed, I am just wondering if you suffer from some significant vision impairment, requiring you to configure your editor color theme this way, or if itās just some sort of ā ā ā infused preference? 
I am not trying to be a jerk. I am just genuinely curious why would anyone voluntarily undergo this degree of visual suffering.
(EDIT: Why the hell does this forum censor L S D? 
)
Lovely to hear from you again @Rawalanche !
I believe the experience you are currently having with my color theme is similar to what happens if you are in a cave for a long time with very little light, and then, after 15 years, if you just rush out into the Blazing Light of Day, it can be too much,
and the instinctive response perhaps is to think that the Light is Too Bright, rather than thinking that maybe your eyes have become too accustomed to dim places.
I believe this automatic response comes from the fact that when dealing with the realm of Perceptions, we tend to assume our perceptions are the correct and only way of perceiving, simply because they are the only set of perceptions we are experiencing, and therefore it is easy to assume that our perceptions are the only ones that even exist.
If you embrace the concept that perhaps there are Other Perceptions, and sets of perceptions that you are not currently having, that are also valid and good, and perhaps even 
wildly different 
than your own, then you enter the realm of True Comprehension of just how vast and varied everyoneās experience of Life really is!
It is only when we encounter someone elseās choices that 
vary greatly from our own that we realizeā¦ they must be perceiving life very differently than us!
Then of course the question becomes, how do you systematically alter your perceptions toward the set of perceptions that are only the ones that you prefer?
Once you adapt to the 
Frequency Range of my Color Theme I do think you will realize that what you are currently experiencing will transition into āWow, Instant Joy and Happiness every time I look at this color theme!ā
Yes modern culture required many curious adjustments on our part in order to fit in, and modern culture just has not done a great job with Color in my opinion, notable exceptions are tye-dye shirts and Nature Herself.
I consider it to be my responsibility to help you Pre-Adapt to the 
Blazingly Intense Colors that are the guaranteed Future experience of all of us,
for so very many reasons
not the smallest of which is the fact that Bright Pure Colors really are Foundational Elements of Life Itself, and have great power to heal your body.

I am not contradicting my statement of supporting and encouraging variety of perceptions among all people, I am indicating that:
We will be having a Perception Convergence in the Near Future, that is already Ongoingā¦
Due to the changing physical nature of our Solar System!
The need for this convergence is already evident in your post and my reply, for communication among people, and mutual understanding (even if mutual respect is already there, true understanding would be even better) really should be easier than it currently is!
I think our exchange already makes it obvious that a Perception Convergence among people would facilitate not just mutual respect and appreciation, but also true resonance, harmony, and the ability for us both to use the same (or similar) color theme in our UE editors!
~
To put it simply, Friendship will be greatly facilitated by a global / solar-system-wide Perception Convergence.
Agreeing to disagree is one thing.
Finding it Easy to Agree as Friends who can easily understand each otherās perspective would be 
Waaaaay Better!

Fun Experiment
So I ask you (and anyone who reads this is welcome to try it too), is there any 1 or several colors that you do actually still enjoy, even when they are very bright?
Take a paint program maybe, and let me know what your absolute favorite very-bright colors are.

Man, I really wish I could be the kind of person who experiences instant joy and happiness every time I look at that theme. Right now I experience a need to reach for a screwdriver I can shove right onto my eyeballs 
Anyway, I am just having a hard time reconciliating my confusion about someone who on the one hand supports the Unreal Engine community with so many great resources and pieces of code, but on the other hand has suchā¦ āuniqueā taste
I mean, seeing how you approach the visual aspect of the Engine, Iād totally expect your C++ code to be totally unreadable to me, yet itās actually quite fine. So itās just this contradiction that I find so fascinating

You said the magic word @Rawalanche ! āContradiction!ā
Any time we are faced with an āapparentā contradiction (it looks smells and tastes like a contradiction, but maybe isnāt), that is a moment to dive into and research deeply.
The feeling of ācontradictionā : āWaitā¦ how can these two things coexist side by side in a person/situation/experience I am having?ā
Is an almost-guranteed indicator that you are experiencing an Unusual Frequency Range (UFR) and if you explore the feeling of contradiction, and the elements that seem to contradict each other, in depth,
You will almost always find there is actually Another Realm, Another Dimension,
Another Angle of Analysis
where the seemingly contradictory elements are actually Perfectly In Harmony with each other, but the Connective Tissue of these elements was previously not within your āacclimatedā perception range.
I am indicating that you and everyone are more than capable of basically anything ,
it is just that we get into a Perception Range Groove (PRG) based on what life has expected of us so far,
and you can easily exit that groove and see New Angles on Life,
if you learn to enjoy apparant contradictions / that feeling, and discover where the Connective Tissue does actually exist.

Facilitating Perception Range Expansion
If you obtain Essential Oil of Lavender, you will find that Lavender activate the Human Pineal Gland, and will improve both Your Unreal Engine Development Cycle (faster programming, faster comprehension of bugs in the code, and the overall game experience) as well as making it easy for you to expand your perception range and handle frequencies and experiences that previously might have overloaded your system.
Yes, it is true, Flowers help me Code in UE C++.

The Awesome Power Of Unreal Engine
The Awesome Thing about Unreal Engine,
that I always appreciate every day,
is that the Ceiling of Potential of what I can create is basically non-existent,
ā If I can imagine it, I can create it, in Unreal Engine! ā
Well Essential Oil of Lavender helps to restore your obviously Enormous Imagination,
by stimulating your Pineal Gland
You could mix a few drops of Essential Oil of Lavender in water, and drink it daily,
and then you will see your Unreal Engine Development Cycle become more and more fun, with faster results, cleaner code, and very happy players.
PS: Now you know the Truth, My Victory Plugin is Flower-Powered UE C++ Code!

SwitchByte (uint8 faster) SwitchWildcard please!
Hello.
Iām trying to use functions Get pixels. Function āGet Pixel from T2Dā doesnāt work at all, it always returns 0 by color and false as return value. Function āGet Pixels Array from T2Dā crashes the editor.
Can anyone help understand how to use it.
Welcome to the Unreal Engine Forums @darkflash007 !!!
I have to say, that is one Sexy name you have!
Dark flashā¦ trying to envision in our physical universe, what a Dark Flash would even look likeā¦
Wow!

What engine version are you using?
I have to test with the same engine version to be sure my solution will work for you!
Dear @Dreika
Can you please explain more what you mean?
What should the node do?
The more detailed you are, with mock up pictures and such, the better I can help
I prefer more words and media to less, to know exactly what you are trying to Achieve!
Greetins @ ! I hope youāre doing well
Is the victory plugin able to work with UE 5.1.0 (from Epicās ue5-main branch?) Or is it still just UE5 EA right now?
Ya know I probably should have guessed that given the name of thread ā¦
Hee hee!
Sorry Iāve been bouncing back and forth between my two Victory Plugin threads and forgot!
Can you send me a picture of the Texture2D Asset you are trying to get pixels from, particularly the compression?
You have to use a specific format, which does not compress the pixel data, otherwise it will never be the direct mapping you are expecting from your image editor, when viewing the pixel-level.
Any form of compression removes the 1:1 relationship / Lossless transition into UE you are probably hoping to achieve.
The comment on the node indicate this:
/** This will modify the original T2D to remove sRGB and change compression to VectorDisplacementMap to ensure accurate pixel reading. -*/
This in particular ā VectorDisplacementMap
Picture:
Confirm?
Can you confirm you are using this format please?
Thanks!
Ya know for a second there I thought you were dialing in from a planet or dimension where UE5 has already been releasedā¦
If that IS the case, please take a picture so we can see what Life is like over where you are! ā¦ Please? 
I mean I give you all this free stuff, and all I want is a picture of what Life is like for youā¦
If however, you actually meant the git repo of UE5, no I do not yet have a git repo version, because a git repo is likely to change constantly and wonāt work anyway.
But I assume if you are using the git repo, surely you must already know that it changes constantly, orā¦ * everyone gasps who already comprehends where I am headedā¦ or I didnāt read some Epic newsletter I was supposed to have read* Did Epic already lock down the git of UE5?
So thereās only two cases + a mysteriously possibly Magical 3rd:
- You really Are dialing in from another planet where UE5 5.1.0 Release is being used by a nearly-infinite number of Hyper-Intelligent Beautiful Goddesses making The Most Colorful Videos Games That Have Ever Existed.
or
- UE5 is about to be Released * Everyone starts clapping *
or
- Something Even Grander, but my electron field is struggling to grasp the Beauty of that that could possibly beā¦
PS: I make it a habit to consider every case that could Ever Be, when I am programming in UE C++, so I can maximize the stability of my code in advance, and properly handle the whole variety of user inputs that could Ever Occur.
And I canāt think of ANY other cases given the inputs you have provided to me.
So that means SOMETHING AWESOME IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN
Because I Love all 3 cases I have presented to you!
Maybe @PresumptivePanda knows what this is all aboutā¦

@ Ha, well, I donāt exactly have any insider information, but yes, I mean Epicās GItHub. If you compile the latest ue5-main, it does indeed say 5.1.0
Iāve decided that weāre just going to wait for official UE 5.0 release (and for the plugins weāre using to be updated too) before upgrading our project, especially now, because youāre the second person Iāve heard from that Epic already being on 5.1.0 internally (since at least Jan. 22nd which is when I first downloaded it) means 5.0 could be very close to release now.
A picture is enough to understand the meaning.
Hi there @darkflash007 !!
I just tested and I do not have the crash you are experiencing, please see this pic:
Please try using my raw file:
- Load into Unreal Engine 5 EA
- Change to vector displacement map as you also showed in your own pic
- Create the node set up like you see I have
- You should get Blue as the color!
Please try the above and let me know what happens, with this file:
Sorry a wildcard switch case is a bit beyond my realm, why do you need such a thing?
Iāve never had a need for what you are describing, so Iād like to understand the larger context, and understand why a wildcard switch case is the solution you are in need of.
-
Are you trying to handle multiple different data types in one switch case,
-
or are you just not wanting to have to pick the specific switch case manually, and have the wild card pin do it for you?
-
something else?
Thank for victory plugin, very useful! Is possible to add runtime transform function(move,rotate scale)?
