Runtime Mesh Component

It’s probably exactly that… I’m doing all the work in the blueprint’s construction script as of now: create the vertex-array, index-array, add runtime mesh component, create mesh section.
But I have the array creation behind a boolian-branch (if initialize_mesh_data == true, add vertecies to array)… so when I duplicate the BP, the array is still empty and the RMC crashes the engine and the BP is taken from the content browser. It’s not too hard to get back, but actually, I can’t edit it, since every time I open it, the engine crashes again. recreating that shouldn’t be too hard, if still neccessary.
But after all, I didn’t want to be all that negative: I love the procedural mesh component, and from all I could try and see, the runtime mesh component works a treet (besides the mentioned effect) and adds even more speed and flexibility.

If someone knows how to make and octree-database on server side to stream data to the client, the step to have something like midgen’s CashGen Plugin and add editable landscape like here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTRrv4lBVyc) with overhangs and cliffs.

I can add editor only conditions to just log an error and bail instead of assert crashing here later on tonight, that will let you in to edit it without crashing.

Worth of your other question with the octree-database, it’s not easy to stream large binary data in ue4’s networking from everything I’ve seen. If you’re around the Unreal Slackers chat you can find me, I’m working on things that might be somewhat similar to what you’re wanting.

Also, while I don’t really use BP functions for the RMC/PMC the PMC was updated not too long ago to use LinearColors in BP saying that the regular color didn’t work so I stuck with that in the RMC.
