Unreal Engine 4.19 Preview

Issues:

I changed an AI service BP and clicking compile did not do anything. No compile and the button icon stays a question mark.

AI Service now calls Tick before Search Start (at least, in one of my service BPs). This behavior is very undesirable.

Peet3D:

Hi!

I have tried the workaround what @Pak0St has mentioned, and turned out to be a working solution. If you explicitly provide the console command the absolute paths, the build runs without error. I even can open in clion, but from there, not everything looks ok.
First of all, I get these errors:

“C:\Program Files\JetBrains\CLion 2017.1.3\bin\cmake\bin\cmake.exe” -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G “CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles” D:\Project\Temp\UE4_19_preview_test\Test
CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:13 (include):
Syntax error in cmake code at

D:/Project/Temp/UE4_19_preview_test/Test/CMakeLists.txt:13

when parsing string

d:\Project\Temp\UE4_19_preview_test\Test\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\cmake-includes.cmake

Invalid escape sequence \P

Policy CMP0010 is not set: Bad variable reference syntax is an error. Run
“cmake --help-policy CMP0010” for policy details. Use the cmake_policy
command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

I goes like this for a couple of lines (13-20), and then the final few lines of error is the following:
-- Configuring done-- Generating done-- Build files have been written to: D: - Pastebin.com

Second of all, I could not get proper syntax highlight because the intellisense does not pick up Unreal Classes, and does not find the included headers. Do I need to setup anything engine related headers path or something? (It does not recognize macros either obviously)
Interestingly enough though the intellisense could autocomplete the code I start to type in, but after the type completion it says could not resolve type… strange.

Yup, as I suspected UBT just isnt being provided the correct path by UE’s editor side
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/blob/4.19/Engine/Source/Programs/UnrealBuildTool/ProjectFiles/CMake/CMakefileGenerator.cs is the actual generation and it looks good.

I’ll give it an hour or so today of looking for why its not working

Hi Epic,

I get some errors when running the below command for UE4.19 when **building the plugin in **macos, but other engine versions are all right. Who also catch this?
In below log, I can see that it want to copy an executable file (UE4Game), but it doesn’t need this when building the plugin.

Vaei · February 1, 2018, 4:51am

Afraid not. I’ll post a new bug report because it gives a different error now and happens regardless of virtual bones.

You know a bug fix isn’t meant to break it even worse?

Also… the only way this happens… is if someone submits a fix that they didn’t test. At all. Even once. They just assumed it worked.

S-Dot · February 1, 2018, 5:02am

Update: I think the lighting scenarios actually do update reflections. So the problem remaining is that I don’t know how to update reflection manually after changing a set of materials to another set.

original post:
Hello, I am using lighting scenarios and I change materials on assets a lot but reflection didn’t update anymore in runtime since 4.18. And it looks like they still don’t do it proper. It seems to be better than in 4.18 somehow but reflection is also affected through color changes. Let’s say I have some tiles in a bathroom and I change the color of the tiles in runtime it will show me the old color in the mirror which looks weird.

r.reflectioncapture used to update the reflection manually (in 4.16) but this command is not recognized anymore. Is there a replacement? - I was hoping to be able to use the improvements in lighting in the last 2 versions but looks like anyone using lighting scenarios is stuck with 4.16

Hi there,

I’m having trouble building the source (since preview 1 and grabbing changes whenever they appear hoping for something that might fix it). For me it always fails right at the end when building the DLLs and always at “UE4Editor-ProxyLODMeshReduction.dll”

This bug suckerpuched us at the last step of our developer cycle as we are ready to publish and we are helpless on finding a solution on our own, is a showstopper.

Please Help!

Landscape randomly disappears while playing in editor - some landscape sections just dissapear after hitting ‘play’ (or playing in standalone mode) - shader in question is nothing fancy, just 4 layers & tesselation, and works correctly in 4.18.
Two screenshot attached, the first one is from play, the second from editor, as you can see, while playing some terrain sections just vanished (foliage assigned to them is still rendering).
I’v tried dissable occlusion culling in project settings, but the result is still that same. (terrain is 16x16 sections and is in the center of the world (translation is 0,0,0, scale 100, 100, 100))

MarGon · February 2, 2018, 2:42pm

In order to make the layered material system work with landscape most flexible, it would require to have a LandscapeLayerSample Parameter that can be exposed in a blend function. So you can just add a new layer select the LandscapeLayerSample blend function and choose the landscape layer you want. Is there something like this planed?

MXADD · February 2, 2018, 2:50pm

More cases of broken landscape (created empty map, and just put 8x8 landscape with simple material (without tesselation this time) on it, and press play.

Reminder that previews don’t come with instructions for all the new features yet (they include that with Release Notes generally), so you need to dig to enable some things if you want to try them before hand.

The_Distiller · February 2, 2018, 4:09pm

Maya is still missing some files, even with that .mll file from the manual build. Why is it so hard for Epic to simply respond to this and briefly show how to set it up?

Multiple people have asked for it and they even teased the feature in yesterday’s stream. If they don’t want us to use it yet, they should simply say it. But not responding at all is just annoying.

llll_Sabre_llll · February 2, 2018, 6:17pm

Hi there,

I’m not sure if this related to the preview build but just in case I thought I should mention the following.

Firstly here’s the good news…
I’ve been prototyping in 4.19 Preview 2 and now 3 (building and running on Android)
I installed VS Community 2017 and then 2015, then 4.19 preview 2, then Codeworks for Android.
I’ve been able to build and run on Android just fine. (I’m working with Blueprints only)

I was prototyping away and thought I should probably run it… I believe it’s the first time I’ve tried to run it since the preview changed to 3.
I got this error during the build/run process:
“Module ‘ResonanceAudio’ not found”.

Interestingly the error message also said that I should try disabling the plugin, which was odd, given how it was unticked.
So I ticked the box, restarted the editor and building again seemed to fix it.

I’ve no idea if this is related to Preview 3, but thought I should mention it in case.
I don’t think it’s because of something I’ve done, but it’s always a possibility… :0

thanks,
Sabre.

p.s.
I also get these warnings in the log, which are odd given I’m working on a prototype that started in a completely blank project with no starter content:
LogLinker: Warning: Can’t find file ‘/Game/FlyingBP/FlyingOverview’
