Hi arbopa / all,

I’ve been following along via the blog and wiki and ive come across a problem with the resolution MM_S_V_res widget. when i try and build a package with this widget added to the MM_S_Video tab i get a package error " Referencers of Package /Engine/Transient " and the build fails. the error itself is directing me to MM_settings widget but by pulling apart over 5 hours anything & everything linked to this i have found it is the MM_S_V_res widget causing the problem as once removed the game packages and builds correctly. i have redone the video settings section 3 times now with the same results all is fine until i add the widget to the MM_S_video widget.

although when the MM_S_V_Res widget is added this works just fine in PIE mode but it will not package.

after some reading up, these engine/transient errors are linked with circular dependencies … i dont copy and paste from other BP’s and cant for the life of me work out where this error is coming from i’m hoping its a really easy stupid mistake ive made and overlooked or maybe somebody else has experienced this and can point me in the right direction .

On a side note must say a big thanks for taking time to walk people through this and also thanks to the other active guys in this thread who have already assisted me in earlier problems, and until now don’t even know it …!

any help or ideas greatly appreciated!

I ran into this problem and found I could resolve it by removing MM_S_Video from the MM_Settings widget switcher and then readding it. No clue why that works unless it forces some sort of refresh on the child widgets.

I did this and it’s not the solution for me any more insights

I knew there was something that doesn’t allow my game to package. It has something to do with this error, but I can’t quiet figure it out yet :

LogPhysics:Warning: PHYSX: …..\PhysXCooking\src\mesh\TriangleMeshBuilder.cpp (264) 32 : cleaning the mesh failed

]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

After this an unknow error goes off and cooking for packaging game fails. I went through the entire settings/video/audio/gameplay widget tutorials and everything is the same.

1. Not sure how old that is, it probably needs the Advanced Session plugin AND Rama’s victory plugin.
2. No, score, time, whatever, not needed in your own project, just no need to do anything related to that when you see it in the tutorial.
3. Right click and type in reroute … it is a reroute node.

thanks a lot! another question - now i stuck on Host Game part, every time i try hosting it goes “Creation Session failed”, what can be the problem?

is it possibly something in your map? I don’t ever use any physx stuff (knowingly) so far.

did you set your OnlineSubsystem in the ini file? I usually see this when there is nothing in the ini for this.

[Geodav]

not sure if this matters for testing but do you have Steam running
and have you added the stuff to the ini files

No problem, am glad if it helps even just a few people. I know I struggled so bad a while back I gave up. I’d rather see more people succeed than give up and go away.

Dude, thanks! I have been trying to get in UE so many times now… maybe now I can finally get to somewhere, thanks!

Go into your game instance and right clic on your show_mainmenu and ‘Find References’… you might need to click on the ‘find in current blueprint only’ box in the find results box to turn it off, and search again. There should only be two, the event itself and it being called in the Start_Game event… If that’s good, then do the same for Start_Game. You should find Start Game itself, where it is called from Start_Over and also in your menus level BP.

Those are the only two ways I know of that can make it ‘show’ on the screen. If that’s not it, let me know.

should be fine…

[arbopa]

Yeah. So when you host and it loads a level then the menu is popping up over the new level?

@arbopa;421759

Yeah. So when you host and it loads a level then the menu is popping up over the new level?

exactly, as well as joining over the server list.

[arbopa]

Hmm, I wonder if you are far enough in that you don’t have the ‘set visibility’ stuff in there yet. I forgot a part at the start and added it later for that.

Also, way down the line I go back and use Leave Current State properly. It should be set like this:

And most of the Show_* custom events should start with a LeaveCurrentState set to the menu you are going into.

I really need to work on the PDF of the whole tutorial and update it for all the ‘fixes’ that came later.

If that’s not it, I’d have to look deeper into it…

[arbopa]

Gonna try and live steam the next bit of tutorial. Never done that before, and I am on the edge of a bad cold, so who knows how it will go… brain somewhat fried.

Ill take a look! Thanks so far!

[kggx]

Worked but now my loading screen is not shown <.< but i guess ill figure it out by myself.
EDIT: After trying to recover the loading screen with sucess, its broken again the menu is again stuck infront of my Ingame Screen.

I have set up my “Leave Current State” like you

and my Host BTN Event like this:

Oh and one thing in my MM_S_V_line BP: My created Widget with the Class “MM_S_V_BTN” wont allow me to put in the Array Element.

[arbopa]

for the MM_S_V_BTN widget, open it up, select the variable ‘name’ so you see the ‘Details’ for it. make sure you have ‘expose on spawn’ checked. compile and save and it should show up for you to attach.

The other is harder to figure out with just some screen shots. If I could get the project to look at perhaps I could see what is going on.

[kggx]

sure ill upload it
