VICODynamics: a particle based Soft-Body physics Plugin

[VICOGameStudio]

@JimPhoenix

Hey there @ ,

if I want to use more than one “hull mesh” or “procedural mesh” in my scene the packaged project crashes every time.

Though, I set 10240 to the “Reserve Particle Budget” field in the Project Settings (just like you did in your example project : ), but the game still crashes all the time,however in the PIE or Standalone Game mode in the editor there is no such a problem if the particle budget is fine (as I experienced).

In the Engine’s Output Log there is a Log line, which says this info:

LogVICODynamics: VeryVerbose: VICODynamics Stats - Particle count: 882, Constraint count: 8818

I’m on 4.18.3 and in the scene there is a “VDWindDirectionalSourceActor” too to simulate wind effect. Any suggestions?

Hey Jim,

I suspect the settings are not being utilized when packaging. You can look at the packaged configs, if not using .pak file, in ‘PackagedFolder’/‘Game’/Config/DefaultEngine.ini look for the VICODynamicsPlugin.VICODynamicsSettings section towards the bottom. If it exists, compare the values and if it is not there, we know what the problem is

Try this: in Project Settings -> VICO Dynamics, at the top right corner you should see a ‘Set Default’ button. Press that, confirm the change and package your game once more. This will apply the settings to the project defaults which are used during packaging.

Let me know how it goes. Hope that helped and let me know if you have further questions.
