[RELEASED] for UE4: Complete Sky and Weather System

@AP_Studios
“Cur Cloudy” is just a float that I’m changing during play mode to test the system and the sequence that I’m using has the sky keyframes (with automatic soon and moon position), 1 3D cloud keyframe and 1 2D cloud keyframe.

Ok - i got it to rain using that BP for like 10 seconds and it stopped. The of the time warp still persists tho. How, i have no idea since i am only using 1 sequence.

I have but i have gotten no response as of yet. I will send another one.

edit: purchase went through time. i guess your services was down over the weekend.

The blueprints that I’ve shown to you are just a basic sample of what you could do to implement something more advanced. You should make sure that the sequence you are using has the appropriate values, a god way of doing that, could be setting values during “begin play” to initialise with a correct state. Apart from that I don’t know why you still have the time warp.

Alright sorry about that.

something i noticed, is, the day runs fine, but, the moon will drop, then, rise about 1.4 the way up, then sink back down. Its only the moon.

Hello!

I have just installed UE 4.17.1 and the Plugin (the latest 4.17.0_4.1.974). So, there is actually something wrong with the time, because the sequence is going very fast by default. That happens even if I try to set the fixed time in Level Blueprint. Is there acting version mismatch or I am doing something incorrect?

Upd: it happens even if there is no active sequence in TrueSkySequenceActor.

Time updates in real-time (so, according to the frame delta, which is measured in seconds — or a faction of a second, in case) and 's timeline considers 0.0 midnight and 1.0 midnight the next day.

You’ll just want to apply a modifier scalar to it.

There are problems with build and up,
try to install the ver. 4.17.0_4.1.970

Thank you! Now it works well)

I’m trying out again on 4.17 and I’m having a couple issues. I’m doing a simple test level and using the macro, the clouds have a weird stippling effect that I haven’t seen in earlier versions. Also I’m not sure how to slow the days down, the Simulation Modifier doesn’t seem to do it.

I’ve gone back to older versions (pre 4.1.7) and those work as suggested above, but those don’t have any real time shadows.

I think that is solved in the latest version.

Yes Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\Simul is also present.
I have installed the new 4.17.1, then the newest and fresh version of .
Playing in Editor works perfect but when I try to Launch I got masses of exactly message:


LogPlayLevel: testproject: [2017.09.22-23.40.36:539]  2]: Warning: d:\jarvis\releases\simulversion\4.1\simul\platform\directx11\effect.cpp(723): warning B0001: Invalid effect

The Launch-Window starts and I got a fatal error crash.

Hello, Does anyone get the Stars and the Moon Disappear at night ? is my setting .

Have you followed the steps described :

@**ThanhToan16 **are they gone all night? Or it is just during a period?

@nacho_simul They are all gone at night, nacho .

Heya, I’ve been having an to install , I’m getting an error while getting the binaries as shown in the image.
I tried doing it several times with several different versions, all result in the same, I tried to find the DLLs mentioned in the error, but their directory simply doesn’t exist, all I could find in the plugin folder is code (cpp and header files) and ini files.

Thanks in advance !

Hey,

I came across another with the plugin and dynamic time of day changes. The “Set Time” blueprint node is no longer working when called from a construction script. It’s working fine during PIE.

Tested with 4.17.1_4.1.1005, 4.17.2_4.1.1011 and 4.17.2_4.1.1014.
It was still working in 4.17.0_4.1.893.

Example project download (16MB)

I’m experiencing some strange artifacting during sunrise and sunset. If I increase to planet radius higher than default it goes away, but I lose the nice red coloring. I can try to attach a sample project if needed. Is there a way to remove , or is it a bug?

is on 4.17.2_4.1.1010

EDIT: I made some adjustments to the noise settings, and disappeared. Not quite sure what caused it.

Hi guys,
week I’m a bit busy working on a new for I’ll try to check issues ASAP.
Sorry about that.
