WIKI Guide: Swarm Agent Troubleshooting and Tips!
Swarm Agent Troubleshooting and Tips Guide
Recently I finished a basic troubleshooting guide for Swarm Agent. If you’re not familiar with it this is the application often hidden behind the curtain when you build lighting for your scene. Lightmass in UE4 will export information to Swarm Agent to process and do all the heavy lifting.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a whole lot of information out there about using Swarm Agent and troubleshooting some of the issues that can arise from time to time. This guide, while not comprehensive, is a starting point for the most common questions that come up when building lighting for your scenes.
I have not added any information about using Swarm Agent and Swarm Coordinator for setting up light builds for multiple machines or a build farm. This is something I would like to get to in the future, it’s just not something I can commit to at the moment.
Hopefully this will help anyone who is experiencing issues when building lighting. If you have anything to suggest or would like to see added please feel free to add a comment here. I cannot guarantee that I will be able to add it, but I’ am more than happy to consider it for the Wiki.
